Pan Long returned to the world of Kyushu, but saw that a round of red sun overhead was gradually moving westward, and it was not long after noon.

He flew into the sky, and after a little thought, he returned to Nanxia City and came to Cangyuan's mansion again.

Although he had felt that politics was too complicated for a simple person like him, and planned to stay away from Gyeonggi before the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, as the saying goes, "this time, that time", now he wants to stay here.

Although the land of Gyeonggi is full of undercurrents, it is rich in resources. In particular, the Great Xia Emperor and many high-ranking officials had the habit of collecting books, and if they wanted to inquire how many people in the land of Kyushu had studied natural sciences in the past, what results had been studied, and what roads might have been occupied?...... There is really no more convenient place in the world for these things.

Pan Long waited in the Cangyuan Mansion for two days before he arrived at the Cangyuan.

He and Bai Yingxuan came back together, and there were undisguised sweet smiles on their faces, even if they didn't say anything, just looking at their concubine-like appearance, it made people feel like they were stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.

When he learned that Pan Long was waiting for him here, Cang Yuan brought Bai Yingxuan to see him as soon as possible, and as soon as they met, the two paid a big salute, which made Pan Long a little embarrassed.

After the ceremony, Cang Yuan first said a lot of words of thanks, and then made a lot of promises - basically the kind of "as long as you say a word, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, brother, I will never complain" and the like.

But of course, Pan Long didn't need him to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he just needed him to help introduce a large library building.

"I've been looking into some research lately. "Mainly...... I would like to know about the state of academic research since ancient times, and who is studying it in the world today, so that it will not be beautiful for everyone to choose the path they have chosen in the future. ”

Cang Yuan immediately understood what Pan Long meant—he himself was also from a famous family, and his knowledge was extraordinary, so he naturally understood the meaning behind the "road".

Although Pan Long is only in the realm of real people now, it seems that he is still a little far away from the matter of "choosing a path". But Pan Long was only twenty-four years old when he cultivated into a real person, and the speed can be described as shocking, and no one can say when he will come to the threshold of "choosing the path".

Cang Yuan even felt that if Pan Long cultivated at the age of forty, it didn't seem to be worth being surprised.

In that case, there is nothing wrong with doing some research now to understand the situation.

"If Brother Pan is interested in this, then find the right person!" he said with a smile, "I once did a special research in Great Xia, and the research results were naturally kept secret, but the materials collected for the research were still kept in the Taishi Hall and the Guanwen Palace. The Taishi Museum is an important place in the imperial court, even if it is a high-ranking official and a nobleman, every time he goes to inquire about information, he also needs to apply for it, and Cang does not have this face. But our Yushitai can directly approve Brother Pan to go to the Guanwen Hall to read...... It's just that you can't borrow or copy it, and I hope Brother Pan will understand. ”

Pan Long nodded: "Originally, I just wanted to read a book to understand the general situation." There is no need to borrow books or transcribe them, so don't worry. ”

Cang Yuan smiled: "In that case, Brother Pan will go to the Shendu with me tomorrow." I'll take care of the formalities for you. ”

The next day, they came to the Imperial Observatory of the Divine Capital. Pan Long originally planned that Cangyuan would ask Di Luonan to come forward to go through the formalities of entering the Guanwen Hall to study, but he saw Cangyuan come directly to the back hall of the Yushitai, brushed and wrote the official letter, and then used a jade pendant with the name of Diluonan to open the treasure box of the spell ban, took out the official seal of the Yushitai, and stamped him like this.

"This ...... Don't you need to inform the second prince?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's not a matter involving a few officials or a large group of people, it's just a study, so there's no need to trouble him. Cang Yuan said nonchalantly, "Even if I tell him, he will only say complaints like 'Disturb me for this little thing, Cang Yuan, you are even more annoying than my mother'." ”

"As the chief official of the Imperial History Terrace, why is he not here?"

Cang Yuan couldn't help but smile: "He's here, that's really a strange news! With his character, in addition to practicing martial arts, he is going to meet the ministers of all parties and discuss the direction of changing the law." How could it be possible to stay in the Imperial Historical Observatory and deal with those odd and occasional matters? Pan Long has lived in my house for so many days, hasn't he ever seen me take the official affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory home to handle them?"

“...... In this way, the chief official of this Yushitai is actually Brother Cang, you are in charge?"

"Almost, according to the saying of the Tianxiong Dynasty, Brother Luo Nan is called 'Zhiyu Shitai', and I am called 'Quan Zhiyu Shitai'...... Anyway, the official seal is still his, but I'm actually in charge of the matter. ”

As he was talking, the official seal of the Imperial History Observatory emitted a faint glimmer, and then on the official letter with the seal, the place where the seal was stamped also flashed.

"It's done!" Cang Yuan smiled and put away the official seal, and then handed the official letter to Pan Long, "This official letter has been conveyed to the Guanwen Palace, and no one should stop you from entering the study." ”

Pan Long nodded and asked, "What about it...... Where is the Temple of Letters?"

"Naturally, it's in Hanlin Temple. ”

Next, Cang Yuan couldn't accompany Pan Long to the Hanlin Academy—he had already taken two days off, and Yu Shitai had a backlog of work waiting for him to do, so he really didn't have time to wander around.

So Pan Long went out of the Yushitai alone, took the official car of the Yushitai, and came all the way to the Guanwen Palace.

Although it is said that "the temple is in the Hallymin Temple", in fact, the concept of "Hallymin Temple" is actually a bit vague.

Within the Shendu, the place really called "Hanlin Temple" is actually very small, that is, a large mansion with several entrances inside and outside. There are usually not many people in it, except for the Hanlin Bachelor on duty, there are only a few old people who guard the door.

The vast majority of the scholars were stationed in various royal palaces and halls in Shendu and Gyeonggi in turn, and on the one hand, they continued to study and enrich themselves, and on the other hand, they were always waiting for the emperor or ministers to ask for information.

For example, the Guanwen Palace, which is actually located outside the Qinglong Gate on the east side of the Imperial Palace, is a large library building. There is a large collection of ancient books in the hall, although it is not like the Taishi Museum, which claims to be "all-encompassing from ancient times to the present", but for ordinary officials, if they want to consult materials, this is already the largest library they may come into contact with.

Pan Long came to the Guanwen Hall and showed the official letter to the general who guarded the library. Although the general was polite, he was extremely cautious in his work, first read it carefully, then used a gold medal to match the official seal, confirmed that the two seals matched, and finally sent someone in to ask the rotating bachelor if this official letter had been served.

After only a moment's wait, a middle-aged man of medium stature, with a pale face and a slightly chubby face, walked out.

Coincidentally, Pan Long just knew this person.

He is none other than Zhang Guozhong, a genius in the South China Sea known as "a little champion and an old bachelor".

Zhang Guozhong was not surprised when he saw Pan Long—after all, it had been mentioned in the official letter, and it was he who came to study—but he just smiled and said, "Although I recognize Your Excellency, the rules still have to be done, please forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant and pointed at the plaque above his head, and saw a light falling from the plaque, covering Pan Long.

"The Guanwen Hall of the Hanlin Academy received an official letter today, and there is a Junjie Pan Long from the north, who is enthusiastic about studying and wants to borrow books in the Guanwen Palace. Read it only in the temple, and not borrow it or copy it. This matter has been reviewed by the Imperial Historical Observatory and is indeed correct. He repeated the contents of the letter, and then asked, "Excuse me, are you the person mentioned in the letter?"

Pan Long nodded: "Exactly." ”

"You want to enter the Guanwen Palace, but you're here to study?"

"Exactly. ”

"Would you like to make sure that you read carefully, that you don't damage the books, and that you don't steal or steal?"

If Pan Long still felt that the first two questions didn't matter, then this third question really made him feel a little offended.

So he even raised his voice a little louder: "Of course!"

Everyone heard the dissatisfaction in his words, the general laughed, and Zhang Guozhong also laughed.

"I said that this rule really needs to be changed. The general said, "Back then, the minister of literature said, 'The truth is the greatest in the world', and he also said, 'The most respectable thing in the world is knowledge'...... Knowledge is certainly worthy of respect, but this mouth suspects that others are trying to steal books, which is really too offensive!"

Zhang Guozhong smiled bitterly: "The control array of this Hanlin Academy was all created by Wenxiang back then. Not to mention how difficult it is to modify, even if it can be modified, everyone is reluctant to revise it...... This is also a cultural relic!"

Only then did Pan Long understand that it turned out that this question was a rule left by Wen Chao back then.

He could only shake his head and sigh, having nothing to say.

Can't you still deal with the dead?

After completing this verification process, Zhang Guozhong led Pan Long into the Guanwen Palace. In the reading room on the ground floor, five or six officials were carefully flipping through ancient books, nodding or frowning from time to time.

Everyone's side is accompanied by a young man who knows that his martial arts are not weak at a glance. Men and women, all with serious expressions.

In addition, there were more than a dozen young men and women sitting in a small hall at the door, closing their eyes and waiting patiently.

Zhang Guozhong knocked on the iron plate at the door of the small hall, and a young man came out, saluted, and said nothing.

"Brother Pan, this is your attendant. If you want to find a book, just ask him to help you find it. Zhang Guozhong said, "They don't talk much, and their attitude may not be very polite, please don't mind." ”

Pan Long naturally didn't mind this, he cared about another thing: "Can they find any books?"

"Not necessarily. Zhang Guozhong said, "Most of the books, they can find them." But if what you're looking for is out of the way, or if you can give fewer clues, then there's nothing they can do about it - after all, if you look at them, you know that they don't study literature, they practice martial arts. ”

"And what if I was looking for a book that they couldn't find?" Pan Long asked.

"Then it's time for me to get out of the way. Zhang Guozhong said with a smile, "It's not Zhang who brags, I don't dare to say it in the Taishi Museum, but Zhang remembers all the 497,592 volumes of ancient books in this Guanwen Palace, and even ...... If you give me enough time, I can write these books silently!"
