Beijing Medical Examination Admission Certificate
Zuo Shaoyang went out by the back door last time. When he knew the road, he quietly left the crowd and came to the back door. The door was covered in a void and opened. There was a carriage outside. The handlebar saw him coming out, and hurriedly jumped off the shaft, took the pedal from the back of the carport and placed it next to the shaft, and bowed: "Young Master Zuo, please get in the car. Read novels on your phone, and update them simultaneously\!{ttzw365.-}(Niuwen Novel~ Read novels online)"
Zuo Shaoyang stepped on his foot and stepped into the car, put down the curtain on the handlebar, shook the reins, and the carriage galloped forward.
The carriage came to Penglai Inn, Zuo Shaoyang got off the carriage, and the carriage walked forward again.
Zuo Shaoyang stood by the street and saw pedestrians coming and going on the street. Thinking about what had just happened, he was really nervous and didn't know whether the move he was taking was a joy or a disaster.
Whether it is joy or disaster, or it is better to leave the place of failure immediately. However, what is the situation here, he is also feeling relieved. He always wants to leave after a result.
In the afternoon of the same day, I heard the news that the Censor and the Censor Du Yan died of illness. The Du family was building a sacrificial shed and setting up a mourning hall.
Zuo Shaoyang was very confused. When he left, he had a diagnosis and examination for Du Yan. Although he was still seriously ill, there was no crisis. His heartbeat had completely returned to normal. Why did he die in this case? Could it be that something happened after he left?
In the following days, Zuo Shaoyang kept asking the inn to help find out the news that the Censor died. He learned that although the spirit shed was set up, the condolences had not yet begun. This is normal. The funeral of high-ranking officials in ancient courts lasted for about a month.
Unexpectedly, four or five days later, things changed drastically. The news that the whole city knew about it was sensational. The news that the Censor Du Yan and Du, the Minister of Personnel, who had died, had resurrected from the dead was simply sensational. The whole city knew about it and was very surprised.
Zuo Shaoyang naturally would not be surprised by this, because he knew that Du Yan was not dead at that time. However, Zuo Shaoyang had been unable to understand that the prescription he prescribed for Du Yan should be able to turn danger into safety within a few days after taking it. Why did Du Yan not improve that day, but pretend to be dead and even set up a mourning hall. Four or five days later, and suddenly announced his successful resurrection. What exactly did he want to do? It is unknown.
The morning after learning that Du Yu was resurrected, Zhen Yao came and hid in Qiao Qiaoer's house and cried.
Zuo Shaoyang was very surprised, so he went to visit him.
When he knocked on the door, Zhen Yao and Qiao Qiaoer both cried like tears. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Qiao Qiaoer sobbed and said, "Yaoyao's great-grandfather was arrested yesterday afternoon. Great-Uncle was also dismissed from office and imprisonment. Zhen's clinic was also sealed off."
"Why?"
"I heard that Yaoyao's great-grandfather and great-uncle had treated a favored concubine of Emperor Gaozu several years ago. The favored concubine later died of illness. It was said that they deliberately used the wrong medicine."
Zuo Shaoyang didn't know if this happened, and whether he wanted to be punished. However, the Zhen brothers were unlucky but Zuo Shaoyang expected that. What kind of person is Du Yan? The Censor and the Censor and the Minister of Personnel, the core power figure involved in the government affairs is equivalent to the current Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and Minister of Organization Department of the Central Political Bureau, the younger brother of Zhen Liyan, the fifth-rank Taichang Temple Chief, is just the fifth-rank Taichang Temple Chief, and both sides are not rivals at the same level.
Perhaps, there may be a backstage behind the Zhen brothers, but they didn't show up, so I don't know who it was. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "Who else was arrested this time?"
"I don't know. I heard that some officials have also been arrested. I don't know who it is."
"Where is a high-ranking official? I mean a high-ranking official with a third rank or above in the court?"
Both of them shook their heads together: "I don't know."
Thinking about it, Zhen Yao's proud great-grandfather and great-uncle were both imprisoned at the same time. She was too busy with her family's affairs, so she had no intention of inquiring about other people's affairs. After a few words of comfort, she said goodbye and returned to the house.
That night, Zuo Shaoyang was sitting in the room in a restless state, and the inn boy came to visit again mysteriously.
After Bai Zhihan left, the inn guy took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang: "Young Master Zuo, Mr. Du Yin and Uncle Du said you have put this deed in the envelope by mistake and let the little one exchange it for you."
Zuo Shaoyang did not answer and asked in a low voice: "Old Master Du Yan and Du..., is he really dead?"
The inn guy's face did not diminish at all, and he whispered: "The little one is just doing what he ordered, and he doesn't know anything else." He put the deed on the table, pushed it to Zuo Shaoyang, and took out a large envelope from his arms and placed it in front of Zuo Shaoyang: "This is the thank you Mr. Du to you."
"I don't want it." Zuo Shaoyang didn't even ask what kind of thank you gift it was. He just wanted to get out of the matter now. He pushed the envelope back, "I want to know when can we leave the capital and return to our hometown?"
"Haha, the young master is joking. No one is imprisoning the whereabouts of the young master. If the young master is willing, he can leave at any time. However, after the New Year, the young master will have to come back to the capital."
"Of course, my dad will continue to fight this lawsuit."
The inn boy shook his head mysteriously: "If you don't want to do this, Mr. Zuo will have to come here too."
"Why?"
"Young Master will know after seeing the things in the envelope."
Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help but feel curious. He took the envelope and tore it open it. It was a piece of paper. When he took it out, he found that it was a receipt for the Ministry of Personnel's imperial examination. That is, after the juren from each state came to the tribute to Beijing with the goods, he reported to the Ministry of Personnel and submitted the certificate and the receipt issued by the Ministry of Rites. It was also an admission ticket to notify him to participate in the spring examination after the beginning of spring. The examination time was on the 25th day of the first lunar month.
Zuo Shaoyang looked closely and was shocked. He saw that the holder on the document actually wrote his name, and the original name indicated was his own, but the answer was that the subject of the Jingzhao exam was "medical".
Du Yan’s thank-you gift to him turned out to be an admission certificate for taking the Beijing Medical Examination
The imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were far less strict than those of the descendants of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In principle, the juren of the prefectures who participated in the imperial examinations must pass the county and prefecture examinations organized by the state. After passing, the state will give the "explanation certificate", that is, qualification certificates and qualifications for tribute students, so that they can pay tribute with the goods and go to Beijing to participate in the national examinations. However, in the early Tang Dynasty, many systems were not very standardized, and the tribute examination system was the same, especially other miscellaneous subjects such as "medical and technical examinations" that are not highly valued by people. As long as there are special talents, senior officials of the court can directly give the examinations. These people generally give the examinations in the name of tribute students in the capital, that is, as tribute students in the capital area, they directly participate in the national examinations.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was implemented in a dual-track system, that is, the imperial examination and recommendation were parallel. Not only did the imperial examination pass, but the recommendation of senior officials or social celebrities recognized by the court could be finally passed and obtained the qualification to be an official. A direct recommendation by a high-ranking official in the court, such as Zuo Shaoyang, who was directly recommended by a high-ranking official, is not only a pass to directly participate in the imperial examination, but also a support for a high-ranking official. In other words, as long as Zuo Shaoyang passed the imperial examination, he would be in the final exam.
It goes without saying that this kind of direct sponsorship of high-ranking officials in the court is easier to get the exam than the normal way of tribute students.
Zuo Shaoyang already had some understanding of the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty. When he saw this literary receipt for taking the imperial examination that fell from the sky, he was puzzled, why did Du Yan want to participate in the imperial examination by himself? And he did not ask for his own opinions.
Zuo Shaoyang looked at the inn shopkeeper in confusion.
The young man smiled and said, "Mr. Du asked me to tell the young master, thank you for saving the old master. This house and medical review are considered as a thank you. However, this matter must be kept confidential and must not be publicized. In the future, you can't promote your relationship with the Censor. The Censor will not ask about the future career, and you can only rely on yourself."
It turns out that this house and medical review are banishments, so that you can forget about this matter from now on. Don’t think that climbing a big tree and talking everywhere. Zuo Shaoyang understood that the officialdom is like a battlefield, especially these high-ranking officials, always have many taboos and concerns. Even an ordinary thing will be mysterious. Perhaps, in Du Yan’s eyes, he is just a young doctor who knows one or two folk remedies and is very lucky, and he is not willing to pull himself into his circle.
Thinking about the cruel political struggle involved, Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to interfere in this matter. Moreover, he always felt that the benefits of accepting the Censor were always uneasy, so he said, "Please tell Mr. Du, I know what to do, and I won't say anything everywhere. However, please tell Mr. Du, just say that I am not an official, and I don't want to be an official. Thank you for your kindness. I will not come to participate in the imperial examination. Tomorrow we will leave the capital city and the house deed will be left in the house."
"Young Master, it's better not to do this." The inn guy's smile has not diminished. "Young Master should know that Old Master Du is the Censor and the Minister of Personnel. After the tribute and the tribute, he has the final say on how big the official position is and what kind of official he is. Therefore, such a post for such a tribute and recommendation, but an official talisman that has not filled in the official position is in his hands. It is also a matter of one word to be a sixth-rank attendant imperial physician. Even if he is not a medical officer, he is a sixth-rank attendant imperial officer, or a seventh-rank county magistrate who is in the rich place, he is not unfair to be a military officer. You know, how many people have sharpened their heads and held piles of gold and silver and cannot buy such a post. If the young master wants to refuse, he will probably live up to his wishes. The young master is worse than respect."
Speaking of this, the young man smiled meaningfully, "———The young master may not know much about our old man Du. He only likes obedient people."
Although the last sentence was warm and full of smiles, Zuo Shaoyang felt a chill and couldn't help but be stunned.
