Li Shizhi's face was cold, and he said lightly: "I said, why don't you say goodbye, it turns out that I Li Shizhi's threshold is too low, and I am in a hurry to climb another high branch." It is also human nature for people to go to higher places and water to lower places. But don't you feel that your conduct as a scholar is at a loss? ”

Wang Yuan said softly: "Li Zuoxiang, why bother? Why did you leave the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, don't you understand the reason? If Zuo Xiang treats me sincerely, why should I be a villain in vain? It's better for us not to mention these things, no matter what, we always have to carry each other around, otherwise I'm still a small square in Yong'an Fang. This is my heartfelt statement, and it is not false. ”

Li Shizhi sneered: "It's okay, the old things are not mentioned, you are now a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and you can be regarded as getting what you want, and the painstaking planning has come to fruition." But this minister warns you that if you help the abuse, and you are uneasy about your duty, don't blame me for impeaching you in court, and the friendship between you and me is limited to colleagues in the court, and you don't have to come to me. ”

Li Shizhi didn't wait for Wang Yuan to speak, and left with his sleeves, leaving Wang Yuan with a dashing back, and several officials around him also left, leaving a few slight scoldings such as 'white-eyed wolf' and 'Zhongshan wolf'. Wang Yuan was speechless, and he didn't want to argue, so he watched Li Shizhi and the others leave.

"I was scolded. Li Shizhi is too narrow-minded to accommodate others, you don't have to be like him. In fact, you shouldn't have greeted him at all. Yang Zhao's voice came from behind him.

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "Although he is unkind to me, I can't be unjust, I always have the grace of support, how can I turn a blind eye." ”

Yang Zhao smiled and nodded: "That's right, come, the person you really should see is over there, I'll introduce you." ”

Wang Yuan looked back, only to see Li Linfu and his party waiting for Shang Zi to sit under the throne, and there were actually chambers of tea that came up, and let Li Linfu drink saliva after the early dynasty, I am afraid that this is also Li Linfu's privilege and grace.

Wang Yuan understood that since he got on Yang Zhao's ship, he would inevitably have to deal with Li Linfu. Even Yang Zhao still has to follow Li Linfu at present, and he doesn't want to offend Li Linfu easily. What's more, he was the target of Li Linfu and Wang Ji before, and they put themselves on Yang Zhao's face, and now it must be time for him to come forward to show goodwill.

When Yang Zhao led Wang Yuan to Li Linfu and the others, Li Linfu, Wang Ji and others had already noticed the arrival of the two, Li Linfu was full of smiles, the wrinkles on his face were full of blooms, and he was kind like a Santa Claus; Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin, who were standing beside him, were not so good. Yang Shenjin's face was neither yin nor yang, while Wang Ji was simply hostile. After all, a few months ago, Wang Yuan suffered a big loss, and several of his subordinates were killed, and Chen Miaoer, who was a good friend, was naked. Hanging on the archway, I lost my face. Only Wang Ji knew that this was all a good thing that Wang Yuan did.

When Yang Zhao greeted Wang Ji and asked him not to touch Wang Yuan, Wang Ji ignored him at all. Later, Yang Zhao had to ask Li Linfu to come forward, so that he could suppress Wang Jie, so that Wang Jiao did not make any moves against Wang Yuan for the time being.

"Congratulations, Wang Yuan...... No...... It's time to call you Bachelor Wang, and being promoted to Bachelor of Hanlin is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the future will be just around the corner. Li Linfu smiled with a smile.

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Xiang Guo has said it, it is nothing more than His Majesty's kindness and Yang Duzhilang's support; I am immoral and incompetent, and Your Majesty is so gracious, I am ashamed to be ashamed. ”

"Wang Yuan, don't be pretending to be polite. It's not a big deal to be a Hallym bachelor, and you don't have to show off. Tell you, above the court, you still have to be a man with your tail between your legs, don't think that Your Majesty praises you a few words, and your colleagues praise you a few words and think you are sorry. What about Xiao Li Bai? The real Li Bai was driven out of Chang'an, let alone Xiao Li Bai? Wang Ji split his head and covered his face unceremoniously.

Li Linfu said unhappily: "Wang Yushi's words are too heavy, but he is a junior colleague, can't he speak politely?" ”

Wang Ji rolled his eyes and said: "Xiangguo forgive me for speaking straightforwardly, what I say is from my heart, if I want to say that it is useful, I am afraid that it will be much more useful than those who congratulate me." ”

Li Linfu smiled and said to Wang Yuan: "See, you, the impeachment person of the imperial history of your own family, are used to it, and you are a little sick when you speak, and you don't know how to be tactful and gentle, so don't blame him." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Xiangguo said that he was joking, and I listened to the golden and jade words of Wang Yushi." ”

Li Linfu smiled and said, "Is this true, Mr. Wang?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Of course it's true. ”

Li Linfu said: "Whether you really feel useful or pretend to be perfunctory, the old man has a few words to give you here." You are the person Yang Dalang fancies, so you are not an outsider. If you become a Hanlin scholar, you will inevitably have to accompany you in the future, and you will inevitably be asked by Your Majesty about your views on things and people, do you know how to deal with it? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Please advise Xiangguo." ”

Li Linfu's gaze fell on Wang Yuan's face, and then moved away from Wang Yuan's face, swept over the faces of the more than ten henchmen and officials standing around, and said in a deep voice: "These words are also for you to hear, and if you can understand, it will be of great benefit to your future." ”

Everyone arched their hands and said, "Please teach Xiangguo." ”

Li Linfu said slowly: "Have you seen the honor guards of honor that Your Majesty travels to?" Do you know that these honor guards enjoy the treatment of the three rank masters, eat extremely fine ground horse materials, and have special personnel to serve and repel mosquitoes and flies in the summer, and wash their fur. In winter, there is a special charcoal salary for heating, and even clothes are given to them to keep warm. I don't know how many times better than most people's treatment. ”

Everyone didn't know what to do, but they all nodded and agreed: "What Xiangguo said is that the treatment of the honor guard horse is really good. To put it mildly, we envy them. ”

Li Linfu smiled: "Don't be envious, you must know that they enjoy such treatment because they are good enough, and most importantly, they know what is the most taboo thing about being an honor guard horse." ”

"What is it?" The crowd was intrigued.

Li Linfu said: "A qualified honor guard horse, the first necessary element is not to bark casually, in His Majesty's honor guard procession, but any horse that barks will be abandoned immediately, even if it is a divine horse, no matter how tall it is, no matter how much it meets the characteristics of the honor guard horse." Therefore, it is not a simple thing for the honor guard horse to enjoy the treatment of the three-grade master, it is the result of self-restraint. ”

Everyone seemed to understand or not, and nodded their heads and let out a 'oh-oh' sound. Li Linfu returned his gaze to Wang Yuan's face and said with a smile: "Does Master Wang understand what he said?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Being an official in the court is the same as these honor horses, if you want to eat good horse food, you have to learn to shut up." Xiangguo, is that what you mean? ”

Li Linfu raised his big finger and said: "The son can be taught, this is the way of being an official summed up by the old man, and he said it on a whim, everyone has heard it, don't spread it in vain." Just listen to it as a joke. ”

Yang Zhao smacked his tongue and said: "Incisive, I just tasted the meaning of it, how about calling it 'horse material theory'?" In the future, there will be such a high argument in the history books, Wang Yuan, Xiangguo is teaching us the real skills. ”

Wang Yuan also smiled: "Horse material theory! What a good name. ”

……

The Hanlin Academy is located in the south of the West Shaoyang Courtyard of the Daming Palace, and the north of the Inner Service Province. The whole academy is antique, although it is not very large, but several houses are neat and quiet. An ancient banyan tree in the front yard has been green, although it is in the Daming Palace, but it has a sense of independence.

Wang Yuan reported to the academy under the guidance of Yan Zhenqing, and after entering the door, he saw several old men sitting lazily in the sunshine of the courtyard shaking their heads and reading. Two of them are judges who have met at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference, one is called Meng Yuanchang and the other is Peng Xiuzhong, which can be regarded as having a relationship.

Of course, several masters knew Wang Yuan's name, and after hearing Yan Zhenqing announce that Wang Yuan had officially become a Hanlin scholar, they all bowed their hands and said goodbye. The chief bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is called Cheng Zhi, named Lu Yuanji, who is sixty and six this year, and his speech is trembling and his old eyes are dizzy.

However, the public house he arranged for Wang Yuan is quite good, this is the easternmost room, although it is not big, but the window is transparent, and there are books on all four walls. A plum tree is planted in front of the window, and although it has passed the flowering period, its branches are vigorous and beautiful. Wang Yuan sat down at the desk, stretched out his hand to touch the books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, smelled the fragrance of books and ink, and was satisfied.
