Chapter 468: The Lonely Boat of the Big Waves (Second Update)

Conspiracy!

When Shen Xi saw the information at hand, he immediately had this thought.

The emperor intended to restore the Jianwen era, Xie Qian, Wang Wei and others were aware of it, but they didn't want to be the first bird, so they simply let Shen Xi, an inconsequential Hanlin Xiu, play it, and even found a reason for him...... Now it is necessary to revise the "Daming Huidian", in the spirit of rigorous history, and ask Emperor Hongzhi to set things right.

It's a thankless job!

It's not that the emperor is intentional, you can win the emperor's favor and get a reward if you play. The emperor himself is a complex of contradictions, he can't act with likes and dislikes, what does he think, he will find someone to play, but if he can't win the support of public opinion, the emperor will even blame others, so that you can't eat and walk around.

The person who played the performance naturally felt very wronged......

Your Majesty, did I do what you told me to do?

The Emperor won't explain anything to you, but at least he will make his attitude clear to you: since you are doing things for me, you must always be prepared to carry the black pot for me!

Today, the one who is going to come out to take the blame has become Shen Xi.

If you want to play the restoration of the Jianwen era, where is this book so easy to write?

As a Hanlin revision, it is not in the mainstream among Beijing officials, but people are not light-hearted, what kind of waves will this concert cause in the court?

Shen Xi secretly wondered: Will others think that he is too arrogant? A young student who has just entered the officialdom, he actually doesn't know the height of the sky, and openly mentions the old things of Jianwen, even those Confucians who are well-versed in the past and the present don't dare, you are obviously self-inflicted and can't live!

If the court really wants to condemn the crime, no one will come out to intercede for him, including Xie Qian and Wang Wei, who are the initiators.

For two days in a row, Shen Xi was stunned with the classics about the end of Hongwu and the beginning of Yongle, and he kept thinking about the entry point of this playbook and how to avoid the important and light.

The crux of the matter lies in "revising history"!

Shen Xi wants to ask Emperor Hongzhi for this matter as a historian, and it can't be mixed with too many personal feelings, and it is best not to have a direct request in the article, more to state the facts, rather than to make any suggestions.

It is necessary to first show Emperor Hongzhi the confusion of the historical records in the past few years after the 31st year of Hongwu, and then cite the classics to show that there was indeed a "Jianwen" era name.

As a historian, Shen Xi positioned himself as a witness to history, proposed the difficulty of summarizing and compiling this history when revising the "Daming Huidian", and implored Emperor Hongzhi to set things right and face up to this history.

But in any case, for this reason, the emperor is full of food and support, and he is uncomfortable with nothing, danger and opportunity coexist!

Just as Shen Xi was pondering the article, another news spread from the Hanlin Academy...... In mid-May, there will be an "assessment" to determine the final candidates for the promotion of attendants and lecturers.

The promotion of the Hanlin Academy is the most difficult among the yamen, but this time, there are two vacancies in the Hanlin Academy, which is rare since the establishment of the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of whether there is a chance to be promoted, Zhonghanlin is ready to "perform" well and do his best to pass the "assessment". According to the previous evaluation system, if there is a senior official who values it, it is not impossible to be directly promoted from the Shuji Shi to the position of attendant and attendant.

In the Hanlin Academy, there are two members of the Attendant and the Attendant, and the official residence is six grades, and there are only the five grades of the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the two members of each from the Five Grades of the Bachelor of Attendant and the Lecturer.

However, because the bachelors and lecturers are basically temporary positions, it is like Wang Wei, the bachelor who is now in charge of the affairs of the academy, is himself a young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shifu and does not work in the Hanlin Academy on weekdays, so the attendants and lecturers have become the people responsible for the daily management of the Hanlin Academy, and they are the upper echelons in the management.

Originally, in a cadre of Hanlin, the most qualified to be promoted to the rank of attendant and attendant were the other two historians in addition to Shen Xi to revise Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zhan, because in terms of official character, the six grades of the historians in the Hanlin Academy are closest to the six grades of reading and speaking, and Zhu Xizhou has been in the post of historian for three years, and has not been transferred out of the Hanlin Academy, it seems that the upper authorities are preparing to let him stay in the Hanlin Academy for promotion.

Theoretically speaking, it is true that the Hanlin officials must be served by the Hanlin, but there are many Hanlin officials who have been transferred out of the Hanlin Academy, and are currently serving in the Ministry of Rites, Zhan Shifu, Taichang Temple and other yamen, and they can be transferred back at any time if there is an official vacancy.

From the perspective of competition, it was the people in the Hanlin Academy who wanted to grab the opportunity from Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zhan, while Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zan wanted to compete with those former Hanlin officials.

Shen Xi has little qualifications, and he has been in the Hanlin Academy for less than two months, and the promotion has little to do with him and the newly promoted Hanlin editors Lun Wenxu and Feng Xi.

Shen Xi didn't pay much attention to this assessment, because he was about to play for Jianwen's resumption of the year, and he had no time to take care of it, not to mention that he was already criticized by the court officials for being arranged in the Hanlin revision at his age, even if he had great merit, he could only keep his position and mix up his qualifications for a few more years.

……

……

This is the first time that Shen Xi has entered the emperor in the name of a courtier, and it is not as tricky as it is now to write four books and five scriptures, or to take the imperial examination, and to participate in the palace examination and ask questions.

If it was just an ordinary speech, Shen Xi would not have a headache, but he was challenging the cognition of this era, even if this kind of script was written by a cabinet scholar, it was difficult to write, from Xie Qian's slightly narrow smile when he parted, Shen Xi knew that he was actually the one who was being used.

Standing in the position of an upright Confucian disciple or historian, it is inevitable to face history squarely, Xie Qian, Wang Wei and others actually supported Emperor Hongzhi's restoration of the Jianwen era, but they themselves also knew that this kind of problem involving royal orthodoxy was not something that courtiers could say casually.

The reason why the task was given to Shen Xi was also because Shen Xi was just starting out, even if there was any inappropriate advice, Emperor Hongzhi would be considerate.

After a few days, Shen Xi simply reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Even when he got home, he couldn't help but stare at those manuscripts in a daze, in fact, Shen Xi had already memorized the content of the manuscripts, but he still didn't dare to write easily.

Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai both found that Shen Xi was a little uneasy these days, but Shen Xi was tied up by trivial matters in the imperial court, seeing that the lights were on in Shen Xi's room all night, occasionally Xie Yun'er would come over to serve tea and water, and sit quietly to look at Shen Xi, but it would not disturb his thoughts.

But Shen Xi looked like he was wandering outside the world from beginning to end, which made Xie Yun'er quite puzzled.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, Xie Yun'er mustered up the courage to ask: "If Xianggong really has any troubles, you might as well tell the concubine, maybe ...... Can the concubine share the burden for the princess? ”

Shen Xi glanced sideways at Xie Yun'er, to say that Xie Yun'er had been by his side for the past few days, he could feel a little warmth in his heart, but what he wanted to do had nothing to do with Xie Yun'er, even if he said it, it would only make people worry and worry.

Shen Xi smiled: "I just can't figure out something, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"But what does it have to do with what the prime minister was going to do before?" Xie Yun'er asked.

Shen Xi shook his head: "It's not the same thing, what I want to do this time is about Jiangshan Sheji, and you can't help if you say it." But don't worry, things will come to an end after tomorrow. ”

Xie Qian didn't give Shen Xi a deadline to play, but three days was enough, and if he delayed it any longer, he would be accused of being deliberately perfunctory.

Although, Shen Xi asked Xie Yun'er to grind, and then after a little contemplation, he began to write.

Although Shen Xi didn't list this manuscript as a draft before, he typed the manuscript countless times in his heart, and once it was written, there was no pause, and it was completed in one go.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the subjects played the music, all used the script, and after the Yongle year, the title book and the scripture were set up in parallel.

The title book for official affairs needs to be sealed by the supervisor, and most of them are played in the name of the yamen, which belongs to official performances. As for the recital of the private affairs of the subjects, it is done in a transcript, not in a print. The transcript and the inscription must also be submitted to the Son of Heaven after being drafted by the cabinet, and then submitted to the Son of Heaven for approval and then submitted to the six departments for copying and implementation.

The format of the inscription and the notebook is roughly the same, with six lines each, a line of twenty-four grids, two characters on the head, and twenty-two characters in handwriting.

The first line of the inscription uses the official title of the yamen, and the book uses the name of the military and civilian stove craftsmen of the Confucian officials.

Sparse dense have made a line of writing, unlimited number of words, the right to play the four words, the right word parallel, the word, the word each separated by two words, the first line of the word to hear, the paper word in the right line of the previous line, and the word parallel difference is small, the year and month under the sparse dense before, if there is a name, according to the six lines of writing.

The total number of words in the book is limited to about 300 words.

Shen Xi's performance was not played in the name of the Hanlin Academy, because Xie Qian specifically reminded that you should not fake your hands to others, so it was written in a transcript rather than a script. But Shen Xi's performance did not involve too much subjective will, and was closer to the title book in terms of content, which was Shen Xi's intention.

Shen Xi didn't want to write a recital in the Hanlin Academy, because he was afraid of being seen by his colleagues, so after he finished writing, he read through it and felt that there was no problem.

In the middle of the official office of the central government in charge of the internal and external chapters and the refutation of the affairs, the general administration was in charge of the cashier's order, the understanding of the situation, the entry and exit of the official documents, the report of the subjects of the Quartet, the appeal of the wrongs or the lawlessness, etc., in the early dynasties, the inscription book, the transcript in Beijing, and the transcript of the self-styled entry were refuted.

Whoever holds an official position shall submit a copy of the recital, whether properly or not, and if it does not comply with the regulations, it shall also be submitted to the Cabinet for decision-making.

The General Administration Division is actually next to the Hanlin Academy, but it is on West Chang'an Street, the West Gongsheng Gate is opposite to the right gate of Chang'an, and after entering the alley, it is the Pedestrian Division, the Houfu, the Taichang Temple, and finally the General Administration Division.

Today, the opening time of the General Administration Department was a little late, and Shen Ximao arrived at the time, but it was not until three o'clock in the morning that he was able to enter and send the recital.

Then he returned to the Hanlin Academy, the time was a little late, and Shen Xi was recorded as a "late", which is a missed work, and there will be a small stain on the annual evaluation.

In fact, on weekdays, the Hanlin Academy will not order at all, perhaps to assess and select the attendants and attendants, and the attendance system is much stricter than usual.

It stands to reason that Shen Xi's recital would be presented to the cabinet on the second day, and the votes of the three cabinet scholars would be submitted to the cabinet, and Emperor Hongzhi would often get his hands on the third day or even later.

However, this time Shen Xi's recital was a special affair, written by Emperor Hongzhi, and it was a recital that catered to the wishes of the emperor, and it was forwarded to the cabinet on the same day, and before the evening, the recital had been handed over to Emperor Hongzhi for personal approval.

Shen Xi felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Emperor Hongji would not make up his own mind, and the cabinet would not dare to decide such a major matter, and the matter would definitely have to be discussed at the court meeting, and according to the opinions of the ministers, the emperor decided whether to adopt it.

If it is adopted, Shen Xi will not have much credit, at most he will fulfill his duty as a courtier, but if it is rejected, Shen Xi's arrogant and arrogant accusations will inevitably be repeated, and the emperor may remember that he is just a black pot, and he will be simply demoted and punished, but at that time, Shen Xi will inevitably be ridiculed by his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

Shen Xi actually knew very well in his heart that Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Qian, Wang Wei and others were complicit in this matter, and sincerely made fun of him, a little person, but he was just a lonely boat in the big waves, and he could only go with the flow, and he couldn't choose his own direction at all.
