Chapter 917: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers

To say that Yang Zheng doesn't know what it is for the other institutions of the Ming Dynasty, what the five armies are governors, what are the thirteen Qing officials, rituals, ancestral sacrifices, banquets, fine meals, camps, Yu Heng, Dushui, and Tuntian, but the Hanlin Academy is like thunder, and he also knows that its status is very lofty.

It can be said that the Hanlin Academy is an official office with a strong cultural and academic color that has existed for a long time in ancient times. Although its status fluctuated from dynasty to dynasty, its nature remained unchanged until it died with the end of the traditional era. Those who served in the academy and those who served in the academy were known as Hanlin officials, or Hanlin for short, and were the highest-level group of scholars in traditional society.

This special official position originally came from the Tang Dynasty, and during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, courtiers who were good at writing were selected to live in Hanlin and draft edicts. Previously, the drafting of the edict was the full-time duty of the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Office, "Zhongshu Sheren", and Xuanzong used his draft edict to be difficult to keep secret and difficult to meet emergency needs, so he selected close officials who were good at literature to wait for the edict to prepare for the drafting of the edict, and also had the responsibility of writing poems and texts to praise the peace. In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, another Hanlin Academy was built, and the scholars of literature were separated from the miscellaneous streams, and the servants were called Hanlin Bachelors, referred to as bachelors, and they had no rank in themselves, and the original products were valued. Since then, "the job is cleared and the ground is forbidden, and miscellaneous flows are not entered". The famous poets Li Bai and Bai Juyi both worked in the Hanlin Academy. When the Hanlin bachelors were first placed, there were no posts, and later according to the example of the Chinese scholars, six bachelors were placed. During the time of Xianzong, one of the senior was selected as the purpose to lead the scholars. “

After the "Anshi Rebellion", wars were frequent, and the status of the Hanlin scholars became more and more important, not only in terms of the draft edict to divide the power of the scholars, but also in the aspect of the staff to divide the power of the prime minister. After Xianzong, the Hanlin scholars were often promoted to prime ministers. With the passage of time, the division of labor between the Hanlin Bachelor and the Zhongshu Sheren became clearer and clearer. The bachelor is responsible for drafting the edicts related to military affairs, such as appointing and dismissing ministers, announcing amnesty, and ordering conquests, which is called the internal system; The Zhongshu Sheren was responsible for drafting the appointment and dismissal of ordinary ministers and routine proclamations, which was called the external system. The two are called two systems, and the internal system is heavier than the external system. The Song Dynasty established the Academy along the Tang Dynasty, also known as the Hanlin Academy. Hanlin scholars as the emperor's advisers, the prime minister is mostly selected from the Hanlin scholars, since then the Hanlin Academy began to play its real role, there is a Great Song Dynasty, most of the prime ministers from the Hanlin people, which also makes the Hanlin Academy in the eyes of the important position in the minds of officials.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, most of the systems inherited the Great Song Dynasty, and the Hanlin Academy was the same, but in the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy became the official office of the foreign dynasty, and stipulated that the first three Jinshi directly entered the Hanlin system, and the champion was awarded the revision (from the six products), and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded the compilation (the seventh grade); He also created the Gyuji system. The so-called Shu Jishi is to be selected again in the new science and technology jinshi, with the "Shangshu•; The abbreviation of "Shu Chang Jishi" in the chapter of "Lizheng" is named, and after three years of study in the hospital, the qualified person will stay in the hospital, called the museum, and the rest will be appointed as other officials. However, because he had studied in the Hanlin Academy, the world also regarded the Jishi who could not stay in the museum as Hanlin. Since then, "non-jinshi do not enter Hanlin". Since the abolition of the prime minister by the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, Chengzu set up a cabinet and placed scholars, which is similar to the prime minister. The university scholars are all from Hanlin, and "non-Hanlin will not be in the cabinet". The Academy became a cradle for cultivating high-level civil servants and a place for cultivating high-level scholars.

The Hanlin who entered the Hanlin Academy may not have any real administrative power, but the noble Tsinghua University is the emperor's literary attendant, and some are actually the emperor's teachers, but their position is very important, even those dignitaries and dignitaries dare not treat them slowly. Even the elites had to perfunctory them. Because they have a pen in their hands and a special right to speak given by the emperor, the Hanlin people form a "clear stream", see the right time, and often shake or even destroy a powerful power faction with a single twist. The emperor even allowed the Qingliu to "hear the wind and say things", even if they were wrong, they were not very careful, at least they could not be killed, because then they would have to bear the charge of "blocking the way of speech", which is a very taboo thing for the ruler.

Therefore, in order to stabilize their own position, the local officials of the DPRK and Central China tried to win over the Hanlin. In the summer, they should be given "ice respect", and in winter, they should be given "charcoal tribute". It's not really sending ice and charcoal, caring about their well-being, it's a kind of bribery in disguise, giving white silver or silver tickets (that is, checks to withdraw money). However, this kind of bribery has become a kind of "you know the rules I know", a kind of "normal exchanges" of officialdom, and even the emperor does not pursue it. Hehe, that intention is to hope that Qingliu will help them say good things in front of the emperor, at least not to trouble them. It can be said that the benefits of entering the Hanlin Academy can be said to be a lot, the most direct expression xiàn, to be edicted in the courtyard, in case the emperor summons, accompany the Son of Heaven to play chess, paint, write, divination, and cure diseases. In short, they each serve the emperor with their expertise, if they are pleasing to the emperor's eyes, hehe, it is possible to enter the cabinet? Therefore, entering the Hanlin Academy is a dream place for scholars in the Ming Dynasty, but Yang Zheng didn't expect the emperor to take such care of him, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Hu Ying frowned quietly, and said in his heart: "It seems that the emperor really has a bit of a intention to let him enter the cabinet, although he is a little younger, but he has been honed in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, who knows what the results will be in the future?" ”

Yu Qian is face of envy, but this envy is not envious, although he is also a Jinshi, but the results are not too good, it is a dream to enter the Hanlin Academy, but the emperor named to enter, that is enough to show that Yang Zheng's status in the emperor's mind is not low, and most of the people who enter the Hanlin Academy, most of them are very good at words, scriptures, medicine, chess, arts, etc., it seems that this Yang brother is not easy to learn in the belly.

Everyone envied and praised them, but Yang Zheng's face was not shocked, it was not that he was high, but he knew very little about the Hanlin Academy, this is what people often say, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. After being silent for a while, he asked, "What does the emperor say I should do?" “

Yang Shiqi looked at him with a look of incomprehension, and said: "The most important thing in my Hanlin Academy is the sutra ceremony, but this matter is generally held after August, and now it is July, but it is not busy, and the daily work is about writing literary history, compilation, editing, proofreading records, hadiths, books, jade and other book histories, Yang Xiaodi went in mostly to compile books, and the imperial court began to compile the "Taizong Records" in the first year of Hongxi, but this matter is already being done?" I'm afraid that I won't talk about you? “

The first nine volumes of "Taizong Records" are "Fengtian Jing's Difficult Deeds", and the afterword is from the 35th year of Hongwu to August of the 22nd year of Yongle.

In May of the first year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong ordered Zhang Fu, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, etc. as supervisors, Yang Shiqi, Huang Huai, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Yang Pu, etc., as presidents, responsible for compiling and revising the "Records of Ming Taizong", and now it has almost begun, he is just a bachelor who has just entered the Hanlin Academy, compared with the seven people above, it is not a star and a half, and he has no intention of robbing other people's credit? So Yang Shiqi didn't have any idea about this.

"But some time ago, the emperor was going to recompile the "Yuan History", I think you are doing it, right?" Yang Shiqi said casually.

"Compiling the Yuan History?" Yang Zheng was taken aback, but he didn't blame him for being so surprised, in his previous life he had heard that the ancient Hanlin Academy was equivalent to the secretary in the previous life, and his role and power were different because of the leader's trust in him. For example, the various edicts issued in the name of the emperor were supposed to be drafted by the ministers, but in fact most of the general documents were ghostwritten by the Hanlin officials, which helped the Hanlin officials adapt to government affairs, deepen their experience, and strengthen their familiarity with state affairs; The compilation of the records of the Ming Dynasty is generally led by the cabinet ministers, Hanlin is responsible for the actual editing, this work strengthens the Hanlin officials' in-depth understanding of the story of the previous dynasty's political canon, it is not a big deal, and the work in those organs is almost the same, read and drink tea every day to kill time, if you have the heart to study, you can bury your head in hard reading, if you don't want to study, then don't be afraid, anyway, into the Hanlin Academy, don't worry about no one to make friends, go to work at noon and nine in the evening, after work, you can shout to drink a group of fox friends and dog friends, have a light meal, drink a little wine, When you are in a good mood, you can chant poems to make a right, maybe the inspiration explodes, and you write a poem that has been sung through the ages, such a day is what the Hanlin Academy does, how can it be your turn to compile the "Yuan History"? ”

It's not that he is prejudiced against the Tartars, in fact, this "Yuan History" is compiled, it is not easy, according to the rules, after each great unification, the newly established dynasty will be replaced by the dynasty to edit the history books, so in the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to edit the "Yuan History", Hongwu two February Bingyin (the first day of the first month), in Nanjing's Tianjie Temple (now Nanjing Chaotian Palace East) officially started to compile, with Zuo Prime Minister Li Shanchang as the supervisor, Song Lian, Wang Yi as the president, recruited Wang Kekuan, Hu Han, Zhao Xun and other 16 people to participate in the compilation. Song Lian, a famous literary scholar in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, was the main person in charge. It took only 188 days to complete the compilation of the 11th day of the eighth month of the autumn and the end of the book, and it took only 188 days to complete the 37 volumes of the Benji, the 53 volumes of the Zhi, the 6 volumes of the table, and the 63 volumes of the biography except for the first dynasty of the Yuan Shun Emperor, a total of 159 volumes. This revision of history is based on the records of the 13th Yuan Dynasty seized by the general Xu Da from the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and the history of the canonical system of the Yuan Dynasty.
