Hallym Temple.

After being promoted to a bachelor's degree, Wang Yuan moved into a small office and worked in the same room with two other bachelors and a bachelor's degree.

The first time I walked into the office, I saw Li Tingxiang cleaning up the desk.

"Li Shilang!" Wang Yuan hugged his fists in greeting.

Li Tingxiang smiled and returned the salute: "Master Wang, this table is left for you." ”

Li Tingxiang is a fifteen-year Tanhua of Hongzhi, and only became a bachelor last year.

Because Wang Yuan was promoted to a bachelor's degree, it immediately caused a series of official transfers. Li Tingxiang was transferred to the Ministry of Rites as the right attendant, and he still served as a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shifu, but the office was changed from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Rites.

If it weren't for Wang Yuan's rapid promotion, Li Tingxiang would have to stay up for a few more years.

This monarch's official position also rose rapidly, just because he entered the emperor's eyes. Other bachelors gave lectures to Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao dozed off when he listened, but Li Tingxiang could listen to the lectures, and praised Li Tingxiang as a "true bachelor".

Moreover, Li Tingxiang and Yang Tinghe are not in the same group, and Zhu Houzhao is taking the opportunity to promote the lonely minister.

While packing up his things, Li Tingxiang said: "Bachelor Wang, in fact, I have heard of you a long time ago, and you have not yet taken the township test at that time. ”

Wang Yuan helped him clean up, and said in surprise: "How does Li Shilang know about me?" ”

Li Tingxiang said with a smile: "My father was a senator in Guizhou, and Zhengde only returned to Beijing for four years. He had a good relationship with Wang Yuanwailang (Wang Yangming) and often went to the Civilization Academy to listen to his lectures. When I returned to Beijing, my father also told me that there was a prodigy in Guizhou, and he wrote amazing words such as "Linjiang Immortal" at a young age. ”

Wang Yuan immediately had an impression, he seemed to have seen a few times, and immediately smiled: "It turns out that Ling Zun is Senator Li!" ”

Li Tingxiang suddenly whispered: "Yesterday's feast, Your Majesty asked me to get closer to Master Wang. ”

"How close should you be," Wang Yuan asked, "When Li Shilang has some time, let's go drink together." ”

Li Tingxiang smiled: "Tomorrow." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "I'm here for a treat." ”

One of them is Tanhua and the other is the champion, both of them are young officials of the Hanlin Academy appreciated by the emperor, and they are not attached to any faction, so they will naturally take care of each other in the future.

Today, Wang Yuan finally has a real friend, and unless there is a major change, his relationship with Li Tingxiang is unbreakable.

In the middle of the morning, after Li Tingxiang left, three other attendants and lecturers arrived one after another, namely: Wu Yipeng, Jiang Mian and Mao Cheng.

Only Wu Yipeng has no backers, and Jiang Mian and Mao Cheng are very close to Yang Tinghe.

Li Dongyang has resigned for several years, but the emperor just doesn't agree, otherwise Yang Tinghe would have been the first assistant a long time ago.

As soon as Wu Yipeng, Jiang Mian, and Mao Cheng sat down, they worked hard to write the recitals there. There is no way, the astrological phenomena are continuously abnormal, and all officials have to be negligent.

Wang Yuan also wrote a copy, all kinds of clichés, but they are also practical problems, depending on whether the emperor is willing to correct them.

Suddenly, Jiang Mian asked, "Nanfu is well-read, have you ever known astronomy?" ”

Wu Yipeng was stunned: "I understand a little." ”

Jiang Mian asked again: "Is Venus's offense really a sign of military disaster?" ”

Wu Yipeng thought carefully and said: "There is indeed such a statement. Only Jupiter's offense is a good omen, and Luminous Confusion (Mars), Mercury, and Zhenxing (Saturn) are all bad signs. ”

"Alas, now that thieves are everywhere, and Venus is fighting again, I don't know when we will be able to stop fighting." Jiang Mian sighed.

Mao Cheng interjected: "So as a courtier, I should advise Your Majesty to be virtuous and benevolent, otherwise the heavens will surely bring disaster again." ”

Jiang Mian asked Wang Yuan: "Does Master Wang know astronomy?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "I only know the Big Dipper. ”

Jiang Mian asked, "Then what does Bachelor Wang think about the current situation?" ”

This is to inquire about Wang Yuan's real thoughts?

Wang Yuan said perfunctorily: "I have the same opinion as Master Mao, Your Majesty should be virtuous and benevolent." ”

Mao Cheng said with a smile: "Bachelor Wang is appreciated by His Majesty, and now he is a bachelor, so he should advise the Holy Son of Heaven a lot on weekdays." ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "Alas, the first time Your Majesty took me to the leopard room, I admonished me, and Your Majesty was so angry that he directly drove me out of the imperial city. If Your Majesty was really so easy to persuade, Li Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao would have succeeded in their persuasion. ”

"And such a thing?" Jiang Mian was surprised.

Wang Yuan said helplessly: "Can there still be fake?" I am also a Wenchen, and I was born as a champion, am I willing to be a lucky villain? ”

Jiang Mian and Mao Cheng glanced at each other, probably thinking that they had passed the preliminary investigation and could be slowly drawn over in the future.

The positions of the four of them are very noble, and they basically do not do anything else except give lectures to the emperor and accompany the emperor to study. And Zhu Houzhao's study career is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and most of the time of the bachelors can only nest in the office and chat and drink tea.

Of course, they also have a layer of identity, which is the emperor's political advisers.

But with Zhu Houzhao's character, it is estimated that if he really encounters any problems, he will ask Wang Yuan for advice, and leave other matters to the eunuchs, the cabinet and the six ministries to deal with.

On the first day of becoming a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, Wang Yuan spent all his time chatting and reading books, during which he also wrote a trickster recital.

When he returned to the courtyard after work, Zhou Chong immediately greeted him: "Second brother, that Song girl is here again." ”

Song Ling'er had already walked out of the room, stood there and said with a smile: "Wang Yuan, Mr. called you to eat." ”

"Let's go, then." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Song Ling'er quickly jumped to Wang Yuan's side and kissed him affectionately: "Do you know what you have become of the storyteller in the capital?" ”

"What does it look like?" Wang Yuan really didn't know.

"Said that you can open a five-stone bow, and you need to eat three catties of rice and two catties of meat for one meal." Song Ling'er laughed as she spoke.

Wang Yuanwan said: "It turns out that those who can fight are rice buckets. ”

"But no," Song Ling'er suddenly remembered her hometown, and sighed, "Alas, if you can lead the troops back to Guizhou, you will definitely kill all those thieves." ”

Wang Yuan comforted: "It's almost over, Governor Wei has captured hundreds of Miao chieftains' stockades in the past two months. ”

Song Ling'er said disdainfully: "What's the use of laying more villages? and beheaded more than 1,000 thieves. As soon as the officers and soldiers retreat, these thieves will come back again, and the officers and soldiers can't always stay on the line, right? ”

Wang Yuan asked, "Do you miss your Abba?" ”

"Well," Song Ling'er nodded, "I hated him very much at first, but I couldn't hate him after a long time." ”

Wang Yuan said: "If I have a chance in the future, I will accompany you to go back and have a look, and help you solve all those problems." ”

Song Ling'er didn't speak again, because she didn't know what to say. She specifically asked Wang Yangming that if Wang Yuan took a Tusi daughter, his career would definitely be greatly affected in the future.

I came to Wang Yuan today, it was related to marriage, and Song Linger took the initiative to ask Wang Yangming to find an official lady for Wang Yuan to be his wife.

When I came to Wang Yangming's house, the wine and food were already on the table.

Wang Yangming was recently promoted again, and he was in a very happy mood, and said with a smile: "If you are empty, sit down." ”

Wang Yuan saluted and sat down, and Song Ling'er helped them pour wine.

Wang Yangming raised his glass and said: "You have returned triumphantly, I haven't congratulated you yet." ”

"Don't dare." Wang Yuan drank it all.

Wang Yangming only took a sip and said: "I was afraid that you would be isolated before, but now you don't have to be afraid, with such military merits, who dares to say that you are lucky?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "This military exploit is enough for me to be comfortable for several years. ”

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and Wang Yangming suddenly said: "If you are empty, in half a year, you will be seventeen years old, right?" ”

"Sir even remembers my birthday." Wang Yuan said.

Wang Yangming said: "Why don't I be an old man and arrange a marriage for you?" ”

Wang Yuan suddenly felt the difference, and subconsciously looked at Song Ling'er, but Song Ling'er's face was as usual, as if he had known about it for a long time.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "The student has no plans to marry for the time being. ”

Wang Yangming said: "Elder Li Ge has a granddaughter who is about the same age as you. ”

Wang Yuan immediately said: "No, with the honor of Elder Li Ge, I don't dare to marry his granddaughter." ”

"Hahahaha!" Wang Yangming couldn't stop laughing.

Song Ling'er also laughed, seemingly satisfied with Wang Yuan's reaction.

Li Dongyang's eldest son died at the age of 27, this son died at the age of 10, and the third son died at the age of 1. The second daughter died at a young age, and the third daughter died just last year (28 years old). Only the eldest daughter and one stepchild are still alive.

Wang Yangming introduced the daughter born to Li Dongyang's stepson.

Seeing that Wang Yuan didn't let go, Wang Yangming didn't bother to persuade again, and only said: "This time you returned triumphantly, and your parents are not in the capital, and many ministers have come to say goodbye to the teacher." As long as you nod your head and agree, at least one or twenty daughters of the minister's family are at your disposal. ”

"I'm so popular?" Wang Yuan asked with a smile.

Wang Yangming said: "I, who is a teacher, have been trampled on the threshold. Alas, if I had a daughter, I would have betrothed it to you. ”

Wang Yuan winked at Song Ling'er, but Song Ling'er just didn't see it.
