Out of Huhai Mansion, Xu Heng did not completely follow the road he came from, but deviated to the west, and turned north on a road that approached the main hall of the central axis. [Latest chapter reading.]

Although he was far away from the court, there were still a few friends in the imperial city, and they were almost all busy with official business now, but in the past, it would save trouble to agree on a date for a gathering.

The first is the Hanlin Academy, which was established at the beginning of the Yang Dynasty to serve the literati to serve the emperor. In Gaozu's time, it was only a place to draft edicts, and later it slowly evolved into an important institution for drafting confidential edicts, and the incumbent was called the edict to be issued. The rise of the status of the Hanlin Academy divided the functions of the Zhongshu people equally.

Mainly because the system of edicts drafted by the Zhongshu Sheren was difficult to keep confidential and meet the urgent needs, so later in the time of Emperor Wen, another Hanlin Academy was built to serve the drafters of the edict to live, and the servants were called Hanlin Scholars (referred to as bachelors), and they had no rank. At the beginning, there were no posts, and later, according to the example of the Chinese scholars, six bachelors were placed, and one of them was selected as the undertaker.

Later, it slowly evolved, and the division of labor gradually became clear:

The edicts drafted by the scholars were the edicts for the appointment and dismissal of ministers, the announcement of amnesty, and the orders for conquest, which were called the internal system, while the edicts drafted by the Zhongshu Sheren were the appointment and dismissal of ordinary ministers and routine proclamations, which were called the external system.

And his friend, who entered the Hanlin Academy by virtue of the imperial examination, was ordered to travel to the Hanlin Academy with the top three jinshi in the same year, and participated in the drafting of the edict as the deputy of the Hanlin Bachelor.

The entry of civil officials into Hanlin is a rare honor among civil officials, representing a bright future. And Xu Heng's friend, your imperial examination, is the top three at the same time in the Hanlin, and it is a rare record since the opening of the dynasty.

It can be seen that the top three have a high level of knowledge, and Emperor Wu has high hopes for them.

Thinking of this friend, Xu Heng was a little happy in his heart.

After ten years of hard study, he has paid dozens of times the efforts of others, and his final achievements are also good. Have both ability and political integrity, a bright future, healthy parents, and a happy family. He can be said to be blessed with good fortune and has taken all the good things.

Reminiscing about the good times when we had fun and reading together, Xu Heng had already come to the front of the Hanlin Academy.

At this time, in front of the simple and solemn archway of Hanlin Mansion, the two parties were facing each other.

One side is an old man in black clothes and black robes, and the other side seems to be a small official guarding the gate of Hanlin Mansion. The little official blocked the entrance to the gatehouse of the Hanlin Mansion from the inside, that is, he did not let the old man enter the Hanlin Mansion, and the old man with his back to Xu Heng did not say a word, just stood straight in front of the door and confronted the other party.

The two parties have been facing each other for a long time, and the young official has been inviting and coaxing the old man for a while, and he has exhausted all methods, but the old man in front of him just won't leave, thinking of the order given by the above, he can neither let the old man enter the Hanlin Mansion, nor use force against the old man, and deceive the old man into not eating soft and hard, and now there is really nothing to do.

But what should be done still has to be done, and the little official said to the old man again: "Master Chai, our Wang Chengzhi is really not here, why don't you come back another day?"

The old man's lips were tightly closed, and he stared fixedly at the leader of the small officials, without saying a word.

"Master Chai, it's been a long time, and the villain has told you everything he can say, why don't you believe it?"

The old man's lips were closed and he didn't say a word.

"Master Chai, Lord Chai's affairs have already been put into the ground, so you should mourn and change, why do you need to run to the Hanlin Courtyard every day?"

"Well, what's wrong with Chai-sama?!"

A question suddenly came from behind the old man, and the little official looked up in astonishment and glanced to the side, seeing the young man who appeared behind the old man. The man is dressed as a common noble son in Shen'an City, and his face is ordinary and not very handsome, but the temperament that is not angry and self-righteous revealed from his body cannot be ignored.

"At this time, he was dressed like this instead of an official uniform, and he could still appear in the imperial city, and he was a nobleman who was suspended in the court. Although it is not directly under its jurisdiction, this kind of person can not be offended......"

The little official is a little official who has only been transferred to the Hanlin Academy in recent months, and he doesn't know Xu Heng, who left Shen'an City earlier. But not knowing him didn't hinder his actions, and the moment he saw Xu Heng, he thought of a way to deal with it, and just as he was about to speak, another person rushed to the man first.

"My Chai Er is not dead?!" The old man in black and black robe turned around, looked at Xu Heng with the same gaze that he had always dealt with the little official, and said word by word, "He is still alive, I saw him appear in my house with my own eyes!"

"What, Chai Xing is dead?!" Xu Heng was startled, only then did he realize that the old man with a dull face in front of him was actually the father of his friend Chai Xing! Xu Heng took a step forward, looked at the old man and said hurriedly, "Uncle Chai Uncle Chai Uncle! I am Xu Heng! What happened to Chai Xing?!"

"Xu, Xu Heng?" Chai Lao came to his senses long after Xu Heng finished speaking, a light flashed in the godless eyes, and tears slipped down, "Xing'er is dead, no, Xing'er is not dead! Xing'er is not dead, Xing'er is not dead!"

"Xing'er is not dead!" the old man suddenly shouted as he spoke, and the little man guarding the door cried bitterly:

I'm afraid this cry will alarm the adults in the Hanlin Academy, but another unknown son in front of him obviously knows the old man, he really regrets not being at the beginning, he should take the old man back directly, let alone use force.

The little official was at a loss, standing behind the old man in a hurry.

Chai Lao fell into a frenzy, it seemed that there was no news from him, Xu Heng frowned, stretched out his hand to hold the old man's arm, led him to the door of the archway of the Hanlin Academy, and said to the little official: "Take us in to find a room to rest, and then go and call Master Gong over!"

The tone of the command and the huge tone made the little official stunned: What kind of sacredness is this, and you can even call Master Gong to wait?!

The little official was stunned for a while, and finally reacted, quickly knelt on the ground, and stammered: "Master Gong is discussing with Wang Fengzhi, and he can't be easily disturbed, please explain the intention of the adult, and the villain will report to the courtyard!"

"Are you discussing with the king?"

Bachelor Wang is one of the supporters of his father Xu Jing's faction, and it is naturally not a problem for Xu Heng to call him, but if it is related to Wang Fengzhi, it will be a bit too much, when Xu Heng was thinking about it, two of them had already walked out of the Hanlin Academy and came to the door.

Xu Heng felt a hot sensation flash on his forehead while thinking, and when he looked up, he saw the two masters of the Hanlin Academy standing quietly in front of the door.

"Emperor Heng's grandson suddenly arrived, the Hanlin Academy was disappointed, and I hope that Heng Gongzi will forgive his sins!!"
