Wang Yuan came out of the imperial city slowly, and only walked a short distance before coming to his office unit, the Hanlin Academy.

Today is the first day of work, so it stands to reason that I should go to see the chief officer first.

But the chief official Jin Gui (concurrently) is definitely not here, and he is shelving the office at this time.

Before Jiajing, the power of the cabinet had not yet reached its peak. This kind of matter had to be handed over to the chief officer of the Hallym Academy, and the signature was also the name of the Hallym Academy—a few decades ago, the cabinet was even a subsidiary of the Hallym Academy.

Then I went to meet with four attendants and scholars, but three of them were not there, and they also held other duties.

Only Wu Yipeng, a bachelor of waiting, is an official in the Hanlin Academy, and his main job is to give lectures to Zhu Houzhao.

With General Zhu's character, he didn't want to listen to lectures when he was the prince, not to mention that he has become an emperor now. So, Wu Yipeng had nothing to do all day long, just read books, drink tea, and lived a very chic life.

"Master Wu, the student is polite!" Wang Yuan was very face-saving, and directly made a disciple salute, and the old man in front of him was the same examiner who could take the exam.

Wu Yipeng was very satisfied with this, smiled and supported Wang Yuan and said: "If you first come to the Hanlin Academy, you are not familiar with everything, so let's follow Lun Bochou (Lun Wenxu) to watch politics for a few days." ”

casually said something that was not nutritious, and Wang Yuan went to greet his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy again.

The others have nothing to say, only Wen Renhe must be respectful there, because Wen Renhe is Wang Yuan's master of the house. If he meets Wen Renhe's son, even if the other party is only two or three years old, Wang Yuan must call him "Brother Shi".

"Haha, if you're finally here, sit down, sit down!" Wen Renhe is a good gentleman, and he is always smiling when he talks to anyone. Just like his grading, he can find the highlights of any article, and then write it out and praise it.

This old man has no backing, after Liu Jin fell, many civil officials were promoted, and he was only promoted to a waiter.

Historically, it was not until Jiajing became the emperor that Wen Renhe finally came out of the way, and was promoted all the way to the Ministry of Shangshu and the crown prince Shaobao.

Wang Yuan sat down to greet a few words and asked, "When the bachelor first came to the Hanlin Academy, does the gentleman have any admonitions?" ”

Wen Renhe asked rhetorically: "Who do you follow to watch politics?" ”

"Edited by Lun." Wang Yuan replied.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Wen Renhe's face, and he reminded whimsically: "The daughter of the Lun Bo Chou family seems to be engaged to the grandson of Liang Shangshu (Liang Chu). ”

Although Wang Yuan didn't understand, Wen Renhe's words were all about, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he just arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. for mentioning something." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Yuan said goodbye and left, going to see Lun Wenxu, who was familiar with his work.

Lun Wenxu's family was poor since he was a child, and his father made a living by supporting boats, he was malnourished when he was a child, and his head was extremely big, and he was called "Big Head". At the age of seven, Lun Wenxu secretly listened to classes in the village school, and was accepted as a student by the teacher for free, but dropped out of school due to the death of the teacher.

Since then, Lun Wenxu has never had the money to enter the school, so he studied himself to be admitted to Xiucai, and he was admitted to the examination by himself. Appreciated by the patrol in charge of the township examination, he was recommended to study in Nanjing Guozijian, the first in the examination, the first in the palace examination, and the champion in high school!

What an inspirational life.

What's even more amazing is that at this time, the third cabinet minister, Prince Liang, happened to be Lun Wenxu's fellow villager (Foshan), so he simply married and became in-laws.

After the two met, Lun Wenxu asked directly: "Have you ever read history?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "I have dabbled in a little, but I have not learned a history. ”

Lun Wen said: "Then read the "Zuo Biography", "Historical Records", and "Zizhi Tongjian" first, and go." ”

Nima, who studied when he was in Guizhou, and came to the capital to study, Wang Yuan wanted to scold his mother very much.

A few days later, Wang Yuan probably understood what Wen Renhe meant by those words.

Lun Wenxu is Liang Chu's person, and Liang Chu and Yang Ting are in the same party, they are observing Wang Yuan and trying to find out what Wang Yuan thinks.

And let Wang Yuan read history books, the first meaning is to treat it coldly, and temporarily prevent Wang Yuan from contacting government affairs; The second layer means long-term cultivation, in case Wang Yuan can be used for his own use, he is just promoted to be close to the emperor and treat Wang Yuan as a nail to drive into the emperor's side.

Yang Shen was much luckier, he didn't have to work in the Hanlin Academy at all, and went directly to the imperial house on the east side of the pavilion to watch the government and learn how to write and issue edicts.

As long as Yang Tinghe does not fall, Yang Shen will be able to rise to the top, and the route has already been planned: editing, waiting, serving and lecturing bachelors and leaving and right Chunfang or Zhan Shifu positions, Hanlin bachelors and servants, and responsible for drafting edicts in the imperial house, and then making books and then entering the cabinet.

Lun Wenxu, who became a family member of Prince Liang, has been following this path, and is about to concurrently serve as the position of Youchunfang, and he will be able to become a squire if he makes meritorious service for another two or three years - in history, Lun Wenxu died of illness during the meritorious service period (repairing the emperor's genealogy and presiding over the exam), otherwise he must be a cabinet minister.

The champion Wang Yuan was treated coldly and sent to read history books; Yang Shen was focused on training, and went directly to the system to watch the government.

As for the rest of the book, he was responsible for assisting in sorting out various materials, including the emperor's living notes. If the bigwigs want to cultivate him, these work experiences are very useful; If you can't get into the eyes of the big guy, it will be equivalent to wasting your efforts, waiting for the cold bench to sit until you die. Historically, this dude was thrown into the education system, apparently not appreciated by the bigwigs.

Wang Yuan doesn't care about what happened to him, he reads history and reads history.

Reading history makes people wise, and learning things is their own, and he slowly gnaws on a copy of "Zuo Biography" every day. Occasionally, in the name of asking for advice, he went to Wang Yangming's place to visit the door, and played with Song Linger by the way.

Wang Yuan can rely on the Leopard Room waist card to enter the Imperial City without reporting, and he goes directly to the Leopard Room to find the emperor.

But Wang Yuan didn't do this, and Zhu Houzhao didn't summon him again. Both of them were too lazy to go to court, so they didn't even have the opportunity to meet, one was at ease to study, and the other was at ease to have fun.

Restaurants.

Chang Lun drank sullen wine and didn't say a word.

Wang Yuan asked, "What's wrong with Brother Mingqing?" ”

Jin Wei said: "In a case, Shou Ninghou's distant relatives beat people to death, and the local impact was very bad, and the case went directly to Dali Temple. As a result, it was pressed down, no one dared to ask, and it was in vain to die. ”

Chang Lun said angrily: "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. It's just that Shou Ninghou beat people to death, and his distant relatives are so arrogant! It's not what the Queen Mother is used to! ”

The Queen Mother protects the calf, everyone knows.

If the officials of Dali Temple dare to take care of the case of Shou Ninghou, Dali Temple Qing is estimated to be beaten by Empress Dowager Zhang herself. Not to mention that her son is being the emperor, even Jiajing is the emperor, Jiajing wants the Marquis of Shouning to return to Mintian, and the Empress Dowager Zhang beats Jiajing with a cane - there is no pressure in her heart.

Chang Lun and Jin Wei were both sent to Dali Temple for internships, and they were exposed to countless cases every day, and these two sons and brothers had already seen the dark side of Daming.

"Don't be angry, go outside the city tomorrow." Wang Yuan comforted.

Jin Wei also persuaded: "Yes, what's the use of being angry? Dali Siqing didn't dare to care, the two of us were just watching politics and Jinshi, and it was useless to make ourselves angry. ”

Chang Lun slapped the table and said: "In the long run, the country will not be a country!" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and sighed, this unlucky child is not suitable for being an official, and his personality is too straightforward. Even if you don't like it, you should hold it in your stomach and wait until you climb to a high position to change the status quo.

Later generations' positioning of Chang Lun as a "composer", rather than an official, is also more appropriate.

In the blink of an eye, it was May, and the officials who had reported the good news finally arrived in Guizhou without danger.

(Today, I have been studying the official position of the Ming Dynasty, and it took two hours to check the chief official of the Hanlin Academy at this time, and the result was Jin Gui, who was involved in the fraud of the imperial examination: Why are you again?) ）
