After Gao Shilian finished reading out the appointment of the new Jinshi, he gave a few words of encouragement, praise, and encouragement before leaving with his men, leaving behind a small official to lead the Jinshi to Honglu Temple.
The Chamberlain of Dependencies was a fourth-rank yamen, mainly responsible for court meetings, banquets, sacrificial ceremonies, and other matters. To a certain extent, it was a little like the Central Party School.
For the next three days, Chen Qi and the others, who had just received official positions, would focus on learning the etiquette of court meetings, banquets, sacrifices, and so on.
They couldn't possibly become officials of the imperial court and not even know the basic etiquette of officialdom, right?
This was especially true for the standing and saluting during court. What kind of etiquette should he have when he met the emperor, the members of the royal family, and even the concubines, empresses, and officials in the harem?
These were all things that needed to be learned systematically. If one made a mistake in etiquette, it would not be offending someone, but killing them.
Thus, the training of the Chamberlain of Dependencies was extremely important, and the scholars studied very seriously.
After three days of training, they would graduate. On the fourth day, they would officially attend the court meeting to thank the Zhenguan Emperor.
After thanking them, everyone would immediately take up their posts under the arrangements of the officials from the Ministry of Personnel Affairs.
Because of the previous appointment, the other scholars chose to stay away from Chen Qi and began to keep a distance from him.
Those who could pass the Jinshi examination were not stupid. Just from the appointment of the court, they guessed that Chen Qi had offended someone, and the person he offended might be the Emperor, who was disliked by the Zhenguan Emperor.
This was not something difficult to guess. After all, if he had not offended the Emperor, which official would dare to defy the world's condemnation and break the previous imperial examination appointment, giving him a position from the ninth grade and sending him to the Imperial Academy?
To put it bluntly, Chen Qi's career was over.
Unless the new emperor ascended the throne, he could only retire early and spend his life in the Imperial Academy.
Chen Qi didn't take the estrangement of the other scholars to heart at all. After all, they weren't familiar with each other to begin with, so it didn't matter whether they were estranged or not.
The only thing that made him feel pity was that from today onwards, no one would look for him to be literary and romantic.
After a day of etiquette training, the other scholars also left in groups of three to five, chatting and laughing.
Chen Qi was the only one who silently walked behind everyone. He gave off a desolate and desolate feeling, causing the officials of the Chamberlain of Dependencies to shake their heads.
"Tsk tsk, I don't know how this guy offended His Majesty, but he was actually given a rank 9 official position.”
" Not only was he a rank-nine, he was even sent to a godforsaken place like the Imperial Academy. His future career is completely over."
"Hanlin Academy? This person had the status of a Jinshi, so why was he sent there?”
" I heard that the Emperor personally sentenced him for disrespecting the sages and despising the imperial court. If it wasn't for the opposition of the officials in the imperial court, he would have been stripped of his new Jinshi status."
"Really?"
“......”
After Chen Qi left the Chamberlain of Dependencies, the Chamberlain of Dependencies officials who had been teaching the students couldn't help but share the gossip they had heard from somewhere.
A new Jinshi was appointed to the ninth rank, and it was the ninth rank of the Hanlin Academy. This was the first time since ancient times, and it would be strange if everyone wasn't curious.
As a result, less than a day after Chen Qi's appointment, rumors had already spread all over Chang 'an.
He became the focus of discussion among the officials and the people of Chang 'an.
He was labeled as an unlucky bastard!
At the same time, everyone was curious about what this guy had done to deserve the wrath of the Emperor and the officials.
Not only was Chen Qi hated by the Zhenguan Emperor, Li Shimin, but a large portion of the civil and military officials in the court also criticized him. They felt that there was something wrong with him.
If not for this, the Zhenguan Emperor alone would not have been able to break the usual practice and grant Chen Qi the rank of ninth grade official.
After all, from a ninth rank official position, it was just a small official.
Although such an appointment was not harmful, it was extremely insulting.
Furthermore, he wasn't just insulting Chen Qi. He was also insulting all the scholars in the world, as well as the Confucians behind them.
If there wasn't a justifiable reason, the scholars and the great Confucians of the scholarly faction wouldn't agree.
In other words, Chen Qi's article,"On Destroying Buddha and Getting Rich", not only offended Buddhism, Buddhist believers, pro-Buddhism people, Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin, and others.
He had also offended the scholars of the world, all the scholars, and the great Confucians of the scholarly faction. He had become a disgrace to the scholarly faction, lowering the standards of all the scholars.
These people didn't care whether Chen Qi was truly wronged or whether he was truly thinking for the Great Tang.
In any case, it was right to criticize him harshly.
Therefore, one could imagine what kind of trouble Chen Qi would face next.
It wasn't that he was the enemy of the world, but it could be said that he had offended more than half of the world.
The other scholars had also considered this, which was why they kept a distance from Chen Qi, unwilling to be implicated.
Chen Qi could naturally sense the estrangement of the other scholars, but he didn't take it to heart. He only smiled and slowly walked out of the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
"Brother!"
However, to his surprise, he saw Zhang Han waiting for him as soon as he walked out of the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
"Brother Zhang!"
When Chen Qi saw Zhang Han greeting him, he was also very surprised, so he said with a surprised expression,"Brother Zhang, why are you still here? Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?”
