Chapter 919 The champion (1)
Zhong Jian is indeed the highest appointed person among the people.
After finally passing the palace examination, he was treated like this?
These Jinshi didn't dare to say it, but how could they not feel wronged in their hearts?
Not to mention the tribute scholars in various colleges, even those students who passed the examination in the palace all had higher ranks than them. Moreover, many of them were in the right place!
In this way, maybe they won even higher official positions if they don’t come to participate in the palace examination!
Many Jinshi looked at Zhong Jian vaguely.
When they thought about it, Zhong Jian was undoubtedly the one who felt most dissatisfied in their hearts.
How could the "new top scorer..." in the past be so neglected?
Zhao Dongting, Lu Xiufu and others were smiling on their faces, as if they were waiting for these Jinshi to speak.
What disappointed the Jinshi was that Zhong Jian just stood respectfully among the crowd and did not mean to speak actively.
He didn't say anything, so the Jinshi also hesitated.
You can make suggestions for the sake of official positions. But what if this makes the emperor unhappy?
Zhao Dongting suddenly spoke, "You are all talented people in the country, but you have obtained official positions but are slightly inferior to those tribute students. Isn't there anything you want to say?"
After all, there was a Jinshi who couldn't help it. He looked up at Zhao Dongting and was about to speak.
At this time, Zhong Jian spoke first and said, "Go back to the emperor, we have nothing to say. Zhong Jian thanked the emperor for his kindness!"
Zhao Dongting found it interesting, "Oh? Don't you feel uncomfortable? Why?"
Zhong Jian looked up at Zhao Dongting, "The emperor really wants Zhong Jian to say it bluntly?"
"It's okay to just say it."
Zhao Dongting waved his hand with great pleasure, but he also wanted to hear what Zhong Jian thought.
Zhong Jian fell to the ground and said loudly: "The Emperor asked all the Jinshis to join the government offices as deputy positions. Zhong Jian dared to be brave. The Emperor should be deliberately trying to temper us, and also give me the opportunity to learn from all the adults in the court. Since the Emperor implemented the retirement system, many officials in the court have approached and reached the retirement age. The Emperor arranged us to serve on Jinghu South Road, which should be the intention of pursuing us. If we can contribute to the court and the country in their respective positions, Zhong Jian dared to say frankly that at that time, the Emperor should promise us high officials and generous salaries."
All the Jinshi were slightly shocked and looked complicated.
They were all nervous about what official positions they would get, but they did not pay as much attention as Zhong Jian. The emperor arranged all of them to serve on Jinghu South Road.
The Emperor's Palace is now in Changsha, and the special nature of the Jinghu South Road is not comparable to other roads.
"Ha ha!"
Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed out loud, "You are very clear-minded, not vulgar!"
Then his eyes glanced at the Jinshi and said, "Zhong Jian said nothing wrong. I know you are great talents, and I do have the intention of comparing you. When I took over the government, I was able to develop the Song Dynasty to this point today after hardships. If you want to pass the palace examination, you will become a dragon and phoenix among people. There may be an example in various prefectures. I don't care about giving you some small places to you and letting you show your skills. However, since you have passed the palace examination, you are the top talent in our Song Dynasty. I have high hopes for you to take up a deputy position and learn from you, but I don't want to see you hit you and make your head blow."
