The bureaucracy exam was over in half a day, everyone's results came out one after another in the afternoon of the second day, and came out in the morning of the third day, which was the day when Zhou Man held a banquet.
There is no ranking in the official examination, and there are only two results: pass or fail.
If you pass, you can start waiting for the selection of officials. If you fail, you will naturally have to wait for the exam next year.
Bai Shan never doubted that he would fail, so early in the morning, he washed up slowly, and only when he was ready did he make an appointment with Man Bao to see the results.
He was confident that he would pass, and the reason why he called them was because he wanted to ask about any gaps when he was going to get his grades, and to choose which official he would fill.
Liu Huan also took the official examination, so they called him on the way.
Liu Huan walked beside the two of them, feeling a little disappointed, "It's a pity that Bai Er and Yin may be studying in the palace."
Man Bao said: "They have asked for leave and will leave the palace in a while. If you want, you can also pick them up."
"Oh, yes," Liu Huan said, "Your family's banquet today is also a good day for Bai Er."
Many people came to the official department to see the results, but they didn't expect Bai Shan to come so early. Didn't they say that their family will hold a banquet today
Bai Shan didn't care what they thought, he pulled Man Bao and went up to look, and saw his name right away, so he lowered his voice and said happily: "See, my grades must be very good because I am ranked so high. "
It's a pity that there is no ranking in the official examination, and you can be on the list if you pass it.
Although they are not ranked on the list, the officials who approve the papers of various ministries know their details.
Every year, the Ministry of Officials Examination is a way to select officials from three provinces, six ministries, and nine monasteries and five supervisors. The chiefs of all departments watch it, and some even personally approve the papers.
So who answered well, you adults know it well.
Bai Shan secretly wanted to come early to say hello and choose a location for the outside, but they had already selected the location for him.
After Bai Shan saw his name, he immediately took Man Bao to find someone, wanting to check the existing gaps through Man Bao.
As soon as they heard that they wanted to see the vacancy released, the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs gave Liu Huan a smile and praised, "Mr. Xiaolang is so ambitious."
Liu Huan: ... What does it have to do with him? He doesn't want to let it out.
For the sake of Zhou Man, who was an official in the same dynasty, and Bai Shan and Liu Huan's titles, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs turned a blind eye and showed them the gaps that are currently released.
Bai Shan immediately looked down, and after looking for a long time, he found that the existing gaps were far away, either in the south of the Yangtze River, or in the Lingnan area, and there were almost none in the Central Plains and the North.
Bai Shan stroked his chin and thought about it, and finally pointed to a place with some disappointment: "My lord, is this Rui'an County in Kuozhou?"
"good."
Bai Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Then choose him."
The official didn't expect him to be so straightforward, so he couldn't help but look at Liu Huan, "Choose?"
Liu Huan: "...he chose, what do you think I will do?"
Official: "... Didn't you want to release it?"
Liu Huan stared, "Who said I'm going to be released? I, that, if there are no vacancies in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, I can also go to the Ministry of Rites."
Official: ...
The official looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also looked at him inexplicably, and said: "I chose this, he won't let him out, I will let him out."
Official: "...Bai Xianzi, your vacancy has been arranged."
He directly accepted the order and did not show it to them.
Bai Shan was surprised, "I haven't asked for a vacancy yet, why is there a vacancy?"
"Arranged by the adults above," the official said, "This official position, you ask for what you ask for, and what you give is what you give. Your lack is not bad, how wonderful."
Bai Shan: "What's missing?"
"Imperial Academy," the official looked at Bai Shan with envy and jealousy and said, "This was ordered by Mr. Wei, and His Majesty also nodded. Congratulations to Mrs. Bai."
Going around, still want to read.
Bai Shan, who had already imagined in his heart what he would do as a county magistrate, felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on him.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Man Bao.
Man Bao looked at him with special understanding, and could only pat his hand to comfort him: "Don't be sad, Hanlin has a maximum of three years. If His Majesty likes you, he will definitely let you go out to practice."
The official on the side: ... directly entered the Hanlin, and immediately became a close minister of the emperor. What is there to be dissatisfied with
Liu Huan was also very puzzled, but in front of outsiders, he didn't ask, and walked away with them all the time. When there were only the three of them and the casual guards on the empty imperial city avenue, he asked, "Come in?" Is the Imperial Academy not good? Reading and editing books every day, drafting edicts for His Majesty, and being asked about politics by His Majesty, how wonderful, if I can enter the Imperial Academy, my grandfather can hold a feast for seven days and seven nights."
Bai Shan: "That's great, do you want to go?"
Liu Huan shook his head directly, "I'll forget it, I don't like reading."
Bai Shan muttered something, but Liu Huan didn't hear it clearly, so he asked him, "What did you say?"
Bai Shan maintained a cold expression and said, "It's nothing."
Man Bao said: "He said he doesn't like reading anymore."
Bai Shan glanced sideways.
Liu Huan looked disbelieving, "Impossible, how could you not like reading? I see that you have always read with great interest."
"That's because I became interested in reading it, and there are always times when I'm not interested." It was already known, and Bai Shan simply didn't hide it, and said, "I just don't want to do my homework. The most beautiful book in the world It's still quite a lot."
To put it bluntly, he likes to read books, but he doesn’t like to read books because of homework, and, “I have learned so much, especially laws and regulations, so I want to show my skills in the local area. Not too bad."
It's just that the latter sees the prince every day, while the former sees the emperor every day; the latter wants to accompany the prince to study, and the former wants to accompany the emperor to study, and by the way, the emperor arrests a strong man to write some edicts.
He naturally knew that the connections he had accumulated in the Imperial Academy were far incomparable to outsiders, not to mention the feelings and knowledge he had cultivated near the emperor.
However, he just wanted to let it out.
It's like an open room filled with gold, silver and jewels. All the precious things in this world are in the room. Once you enter, those things are his;
And there is a horse outside the house, only one horse, and then there is an endless grassland as far as the eye can see. If you ride a horse, you can gallop on the grassland.
You eat and drink, everything is hard to get, you need to pay ten times, or even a hundred times, more time to get the wealth in the house than it takes to walk in.
However, he still wants to ride a horse.
However, now someone put a rope around him and pulled him directly into the house, Bai Shan...
He sighed and wanted to go in.
Man Bao leaned into his ear and said, "There are still experiments in my Huangzhuang."
Bai Shan came back to his senses, well, the reluctance in his heart has faded a lot, he can't really let his family out alone.
Have to wait for full treasure.
Liu Huan stopped suddenly: "Wait a minute, is my name on the list?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao stopped and turned to look at him together.
