Chapter 8: Triumph
Then, this step alone is not enough, the emperor knows you, and after you become the focus of attention, you still have to think about how to do a good job, so that the emperor can see that you are capable!
In case you are targeted by the emperor and you don't do a good job, then it's better that the emperor doesn't pay attention to you!
When the emperor was far away, you could do whatever you wanted, just mix it up, and make up for it, but once the emperor paid attention to you, he found out: Oh, you kid turned out to be a bastard! What are you doing, you're still dangling in front of me, I'm annoying you, just go down! Wouldn't that be a bad luck? So Fan Li, he still has to do a good job.
Then Fan Li is different from the past, completely different from the rural guy who came out of the countryside back then, there are two big backers behind him, one is Mu Shangzhi, and the other is Tang Zhen.
These two teachers Fan Liang really don't recognize it in vain, they all favor Fan Li, especially Mu Shangzhi is really good to Fan Li, he falls in love with Fan Li, and he pulls Fan Li up at every opportunity!
So, with Tang Zhen's recommendation and Mu Shangzhi's support, Fan Li's career was really smooth sailing! Internal and external causes work together, and internally, I know what to do! In addition, with the help of Mu Shangzhi and Tang Zhen, plus the attention of the emperor.
After a few years of hard work, Fan Liang went from the original petty official from the seventh rank to the fourth rank of the Hanlin Academy to try to teach the university scholar. The four-rank official rank here can be said separately, this official rank is of great significance, as long as you enter the line of the four-grade official rank, your identity is different, no longer the previous poor and broken official, it is a big official, and even the treatment is different!
This is a bit like today's evaluation title, when I retire, I have to desperately get a "high" or "deputy high" title, why? Because the treatment is different, it has gone to a new level!
Fan Li is the same, when it comes to the fourth grade and above, all officials are already different from ordinary officials, but there are also many officials who can't step into the fourth grade in their lives!
At this time, Fan Liang was proud of the spring breeze, and he entered the ranks of big officials in his early 30s, the reason is that the cards in his hand are good, one Mu Shangzhi, one Tang Zhen, which is equivalent to two straight flushes, plus a king fried, that is, the emperor! Do you say that Fan Li, can he be unhappy? Isn't this function like a helicopter "rubbing" upward?
So at this time, Fan Li's idea was: Since I am now a big official, it is not impossible for me to continue to work hard, and it will take me one or two decades to go up again, and it is not impossible to become a university scholar.
Therefore, at this time, Fan Li is still working very hard, and his requirements for himself are even stricter than before, because the restraint and these scientific concepts he learned from Tang Zhen are really good: I really don't eat grass, and I will really die in this work!
The result of this is really fed back to himself, isn't this also a fourth-grade official? So Fan Li still has to continue to do it, Cheng Zhu Lixue really benefited him immensely!
So how did he complete the leap to the rank of four or more? This stems from a conversation with the emperor, the four-rank official, the Hanlin Academy, Fan Li can often meet and chat with the emperor, so he changed the name of his study to "Xuezhai", just to take a meaning: I still have a lot of things I don't understand, I have to continue to study, continue to work hard!
You see how well he changed the name of his study, the emperor was very happy to see it, among the officials above the rank of four ranks, there can be such a diligent and studious person, such a motivated person, beyond his imagination, but when he saw that Fan Liang was such a situation, after becoming such a big official in his early thirties, he could still work so humbly, and he was very relieved.
How does the emperor feel in his heart? I have been promoted well, I have vision, if there are a few more people like Tang Zhen and Fan Li, then my country will be stable, and it will definitely be passed on for generations!
So the emperor thought about it: Since this is the case, should I entrust him with a heavy responsibility? This told Fan Li: You come to the Nourishment Hall early tomorrow morning, I have something to tell you.
This is to open a small stove for yourself! As soon as Fan Li heard this, this ...... Great, the leader chatted with me alone, exchanged my thoughts, and reported, this is my promotion! I was so happy!
Early the next morning, Fan Liang ran to the Hall of Cultivation. What is this temple of nourishment? It is a place dedicated to the collection of calligraphy and paintings of former celebrities, and of course there are many works of emperors. The emperor usually receives courtiers in this place, so Fan Li was very surprised when he received such a special invitation, and felt very different!
Before coming, Fan Liang came prepared, and he had already prepared in his heart to wait for the time to talk to the emperor, which piece of himself should say such things.
But what puzzled Fan Li was that he arrived here early in the morning and waited, sat for a long time, waited until noon, and was hungry, the emperor did not wait, but waited for the eunuch on duty, this eunuch on duty is called Yeda, known as the Grand Duke!
When Fan Li saw Yeda, this father-in-law, he greeted people, said hello, and then talked about his own situation, and asked the eldest father-in-law what was going on?
The eldest father-in-law was like a mirror in his heart, so he said: Our family doesn't know what's going on? Anyway, you're just waiting here!
Fan Li had no choice, so he had to continue to wait, sit motionless with his waist straight, and he didn't dare to sit around, nor did he dare to crooked, nor did he dare to lean on, otherwise the emperor suddenly came, and saw that you were in this posture, which would not work, so he had to sit upright and wait!
This day has passed, and seeing that the sky is getting dark, the emperor is still not here! Half of Fan Li's body was numb, and he had thought about what a beautiful thing it was, to speak freely with the emperor, to show his loyalty, how to talk about his work, and how to make the emperor feel impressed with me. I didn't think that the emperor didn't come, but you didn't dare to complain!
When he was muttering in his heart, the eldest duke came again, and Fan Li quickly pulled the grand duke over and said: "Grand duke, you see that I have been waiting for a day, and the emperor has not come yet, can you please ask the grand duke to help me inquire?"
The eldest duke went, and soon after he went, he came back and said to Fan Li: The emperor will not come today, and he will be summoned tomorrow in the Heart Cultivation Palace!
What else can Fan Li do? I can only beat the numb waist board that I am sitting on and go back! On the way back, I thought about it, and felt that this was not right, I had worked in the Hanlin Academy for all these years, and the emperor had summoned me not once or twice, this time it was very special, I summoned the head of the Yang Sex Palace, and it is estimated that there is a doorway here! The point is, I've never heard of anything like this before.
