One one. Mouth. Mouth. Mouth. Mouth. Mouth mouth mouth mouth mouth. Knowing that it is impossible to do it, it is respectable but not lawful. Silently remembering Tang Shunzhi's teachings, in the officialdom, we must distinguish the difference between what we can and what we can't. If you can do what you can, you will do it with all your might, and if you can't do it, you will simply not try.

Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and the Zhenfu Division is a secret agency. Because of the landing of Bing. It is understandable to have a personal relationship with the Thirteenth Taibao, and it is even a manifestation of affection and righteousness, but this does not mean. He can interfere in the internal affairs of the factory guard, then it is a big taboo, even if the holy family is long, it will not be far from death.

Therefore, Shen Mo couldn't directly help Zhu Shisan, he could only order him to be a little restless, and first talk to the people of Dongchang to delay time as much as possible. When the time is right, I will find a way to surround Wei to save Zhao, or fight cattle across the mountain or something. Help these motherless kids.

Of course, silence can't be ignored entirely. He's got to settle down on these six gods and no masters. Then he said to Zhu Shisan: "How does Xu Ge Lao fight Yan Song, you know best, you have to learn a little after watching it." No matter how much you looked down on Dongchang in the past, now you have to endure it, let it go, and even catch up, lose some dignity, suffer a little grievance, first survive this hurdle and then sigh silently: "Actually, you can't know this truth, but just don't breathe this way." But now that people are gaining power, and they are thinking of ways to take advantage of us, then they have to learn from Xu Ge Lao to let the family get angry, and if people get angry, we can ease this breath,"

"It doesn't matter if you endure for a while." Zhu Shisan said in a sullen voice: "But when you are a head?" ”

The silence that would not last too long said softly: "At the end of the year, Lu Gang will come back, and the situation will change, and the time limit for military attache Ding Wei is one hundred days." In fact, Lu Gang can come back now, but if he is so impatient, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth? So I'll be back at the end of the year at the earliest.

Zhu Shisan nodded and asked hesitantly, "Where is Gonggong Li?" This is Zhu Shisan's true intention when he came to find Shen Mo, and he wanted to ask him to help dredge up with Li Fang, because if someone could help. That is, the eunuch who is older than Chen Hong.

"Li Fang?. He said softly and saw Zhu Shisan nodding. He shook his head and said, "If it was Li Fang before Xiu Jiyang, it was still possible, and now Gonggong Li couldn't be nosy anymore." He explained to Zhu Shisan that Li Fang was reborn, but he was already completely discouraged, he just wanted to live in peace and stability, and at most help the emperor manage the affairs of the palace, as for fighting with Chen Hong, it was absolutely impossible to forget how he was demoted to repair the tomb in the first place.

Zhu Shisan finally left with regret and depression, Shen Mo did not send him, but sat in front of the desk, quickly wrote something, and after writing, rolled the letter paper into the thickness of a finger and put it into a special small bamboo tube, "This bamboo tube is filled with a little gunpowder and oil, once you encounter an accident, you only need to pull out the two ends." The letter paper inside will be burned to ashes, so that it will not leak secrets.

Dianmo said to the guards who were standing in the dark: "Send this to Lord Lu, he knows what to do." He wrote another letter, also put it in such a small bamboo tube, and said to another guard: "Send this to Shandong, please help me with the one on the mountain." ”

The guard took it and left the study without a sound. Outside, lightning and thunder roared, and it was pouring rain. The guard did not hesitate, and disappeared into the rain in the blink of an eye. ”

It rained heavily overnight, and the ditches and ditches were full of water. Due to the continuous rain, the tamped dirt road was also soaked and became very muddy. When they go out in the morning, the palanquin drivers are distracted, lest they step on the mud puddle carelessly and stain their brand-new uniforms.

Heart-winged. It took twice as long as normal to get to Dongjiang Rice Lane. The streets where the yamen gather are different. The bluestone pavement of a piece of water, the bright tiles washed by the rain, can not be seen at all.

The sedan chair fell in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and the three feet stabbed silently to the soldiers guarding the door. Ren's Hallym Academy came, and the soldiers hurriedly reported it.

After a while, Li Chunfang, the new left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, greeted him with a smile on his face, and Lao Yuan smiled and said, "What kind of wind blew Brother Jiangnan here."

When Shen Mo entered the Hanlin Academy, Li Chunfang was a bachelor and managed the daily work of the Hanlin Academy. It's his old leader. Therefore, the other party is commensurate with each other, but Shen Mo did not dare to slack off at all, and saluted humbly: "My lord has killed the lower official, you still call me my cousin." ”

"Hey" Li Chunfang didn't have a fight at all, and said with a sincere smile on her face: "We are old friends." It's too fastidious to be so particular that he said sideways and said, "Come on, come on, please inside." Go to the ministry and speak

Please smile silently.

The two came to the Shangshu Courtyard, and Yan Ne was already standing outside the signing room. It is said that it is the lower officials who are asking to see. He only needs to sit upright in the room and wait for the other party to come to pay respects, but Yan Ne's personality is very similar to Li Chunfang. They are all people and easy, there has never been a shelf, and some people even say that after Zhao Zhenji's anger and Sister Yuan's sourness, the current Lidu Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, two good old people, have finally become a ball of harmony.

At that time, Yan Ne was discussing the future affairs of the Ministry of Rites with Li Chunfang, and when he heard that Shen Mo was coming, both of them said in their hearts: "This left second buckle is great." Don't slack off six, then stop, talk, a talented world, a person who has already ordered to make fragrant tea, set up refreshments. It was completely prepared according to the standard of welcoming Shangshu.

After the ceremony, the three of them entered the house, and Yan Ne did not return to the main seat behind the big case, so he sat on a chair under the hall with Li Chunfang and Shen Mo.

The guest of honor sat down, and after the scribe read the tea, Yan Ne asked him what he meant, and said with a silent smile: "I'm here to report to the ministry." ”

"Report?" Li Chunfang was a little confused and said, "What do you report?" ”

Shen Mo got up and saluted respectfully to the two adults, and arched his hand: "Xiaguan is the new Hanlin Academy Shen Mo." Report to the two ministers.

"I haven't heard that the Hanlin Academy has to be under the control of the Ministry of Rites." Yan Ne smiled and said, "Lord Shen, you have worshiped the wrong yamen." ”

"Although there is no explicit rule." Shen Mo smiled and said: "But in the past, the Hanlin Academy was concurrently served by the Ministry of Rites, so the Hanlin Academy has always been helmed by the Ministry of Rites. Now the emperor ordered to separate, but did not explicitly order Yan Mintang not to interfere in the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, obviously just to reduce the burden for you, but in major matters, you should still be in charge of it and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, the yamen of the five grades of the Hanlin Academy wants to mix in the capital." I'm afraid that anyone can overpower us. ”

"Hehe, Lord Shen laughed Yan Ne shook his head and smiled: "Who doesn't know" Jinshi is not expensive Hanlin Gui" You look at the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how many of them are not from Hanlin? Drinking water is still thinking of the source, who has seen your hall of Hanlin Academy, and can't be called a senior in solemnity? Having said that, he was still very happy in his heart, and felt that Shen Mo was a young man who knew how to measure himself and was worth befriending.

This is also the purpose of the Silent Rites Ministry. The reason is very simple, the Hanlin Academy has always been a one-third of an acre of land for the Ministry of Rites, just waiting to harvest the crops and enter the cabinet, and now he has robbed the Hanlin Academy. Although his intention was not his intention, Yan Ne, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can't hate the emperor and the prime minister, right? That nasty silence is a natural thing. Considering that Yan Ne will also enter the cabinet, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with him.

When people lower their posture, they will never suffer

After a cordial and sincere conversation, the two sides established an intimate but not firm relationship, if it was not too far from noon, they would definitely have to drink and talk happily, and the relationship would continue to go deeper.

After saying goodbye, Shen Mo didn't get into the sedan chair, so he went directly to the Hanlin Courtyard west of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. As the first yamen he stayed in after the Zhongjin sergeant, he was also familiar with the door, and he arrived at the gate of the Hanlin Academy after a while.

There were no guards at the door, and when I entered the door silently, I saw that there were two shrines on the left and right, the left side was the Tugu Temple, and the right side was the Changli Temple. There is also a block of Yuan Monument in the Changli Temple, and his name is still on it. After the Yimen, you will arrive at an open courtyard, the courtyard is ancient and forested, the sky is covered by the sun, and only the cicadas are chirping without seeing the voice. But he was not angry, nor was he wonderful, because he knew that this scene might not be normal to other yamen, but for the Hanlin Academy, it was too normal.

Because the Hanlin Temple is different from the general yamen. No points, no promotion, no such strict hierarchy, bureaucratic flavor is not heavy, there is something to be done by the two bachelors of the waiter and the waiter to gather everyone to talk, and when there is nothing to do, they are busy with their own "For the Hanlin, the main thing is nothing more than compiling books and repairing, and it is generally the beginning of the year when the bachelor assigns tasks, and then asks about the progress every month. Once a quarter, as long as it can be completed on time, there is no need to sit on duty. Therefore, many Hanlin have used this time in the museum to travel the world and increase their knowledge, "Of course, the standard of future generations can also be said to be publicly-funded tourism." But in any case, these future high-ranking officials have increased their knowledge, broadened their horizons, and understood the people's sufferings, so that they will not be indistinguishable from grains and ask people why they don't eat minced meat.

So it's too normal to not see people in broad daylight, because this is a yamen that is too idle.

But it is impossible to be all absent, silently recalling that the West Courtyard is the reading and lecture hall, where the scholars and lecturers are located, and the East Courtyard is the editing and inspection hall, which is the place where the editors and reviewers stay. He wanted to walk towards the lecture hall, but he heard a burst of talking in the direction of the compilation and inspection hall, and his heart moved. And he turned to the east.

When I arrived outside the inspection hall, I saw that the door was empty. Someone inside said loudly, "Don't believe it, a neighbor of mine was a guard in the palace, and he told me this morning. ”

Then he heard the others laugh and said, "Maybe that person is bluffing you."

"Who would dare to spread rumors about this kind of thing?" The man said angrily: "You wait and see, this matter will definitely spread in the next two days." Bet not you believe it! If such a stone falls on King Yu's mansion, how about each of you lose five taels of silver to me? ”

"What if not?" The bystander asked.

"I'll invite you all to dinner! Go to Juxianzhuang for a big banquet! The man gritted his teeth and said, which immediately caused a wolf howl, but he heard someone say: "There must be eight ancient characters on it!" ”

"Yes is yes!" The man said loudly, "I can't do it?" ”

Shen Mo was listening outside, but he heard two voices behind him: "The court's honor has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the distance, forgive the sins." ”

Silently looked back, it was the attendant bachelor Lu Tiaoyang, and the new attendant bachelor Zhu Dashou, calendar

The former was promoted to the left concubine of Zhan Shifu and the bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and the latter was appointed as the right concubine of Zhan Shifu and the left Shaoqing of Hongdonkey Temple. jumped from seven to five at once, directly crossing the third level.

Lu Tiaoyang and Zhu Dashou rushed over when they heard the news, and they were silent when they saw it. Hurry up and salute.

Shen Mo hurriedly waved his hand. signaled them not to alarm the people in the inspection hall, but they were still one step too late. The people inside heard the sound and fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Shen Mo unexpectedly complained to them: "You two are really not the right time to come. I'm hearing something important," immediately caused laughter inside, and the door to the hall opened. A group of editors and reviewers came out of it, and they all saluted embarrassedly: "Yuanzun"

Shen Mo smiled at them and asked, "Who is giving the speech?" ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and finally a young man who was no more than thirty years old and wearing a seven-grade official uniform stood up, bowed his head and said, "My lord, it's the lower official who is talking."

"What's your name?" Shen Mo said with a serious face: "Raise your head!" ”

The young man hurriedly raised his head and whispered, "Xiaguan Zhou Hongzu."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Mo asked.

Zhou Hongzu finally became not too nervous, and said: "Xiaguan lives near the palace, and when there was thunder last night, he got up to collect his clothes, but he saw that the sky above the palace was red, as if it was on fire, but after a while, it returned to pitch black. Xia Guan also said in his heart at the time that it was because of the heavy rain tonight, otherwise it would not be easy for the fire to be extinguished so much, and he continued: "When I went out this morning, I met a neighbor's house, a big brother who was a guard in the palace, and I asked him how the loss was last night; He said that there was no loss, but he smashed a pit out of the backyard of the palace. ”

"Smashed. Pit? Hearing this, Zhu Dashou said: "Could it be a flying fire meteor?" "Although meteors falling to the ground are rare, they are not uncommon, and the imperial court receives several reports every year.

"You are wise". Zhou Hongzu gave a thumbs up and said: "It is indeed a flying fire meteor, but it is not an ordinary meteor!" ”

"Say it quickly, don't sell it." Seeing that Shen Mo was interested, Lu Tiaoyang hurriedly urged on the side.

"According to my neighbor's eldest brother who works in the palace, there are still words on that heavenly stone." Zhou Hongzu said: "There are eight ancient characters in total, but no one knows them."

"I don't know if it's a good omen or a bad omen," Zhong Hanlin interjected.

Okay, don't discuss it, and said with a silent smile: "I've heard the story too, what should I do." "Wait for everyone to retire. Only Zhou Hongzu was still standing there, and he scolded with a silent smile: "What, after the story is over, do you want to be rewarded?" ”

Zhou Hongzu said embarrassedly: "Don't you punish the officials for their false words?"

I don't punish Shen Mo and smiled slightly: "You are all already court officials." You have to be responsible for your words and deeds, don't expect me to follow behind and ask for orders, the official will not say like that and said to the Hanlin: "Go all, what should you do, anyway, it's not for me to do the work How awkward the Hanlin sounded, but seeing that the academy had left accompanied by the two bachelors, he had to turn back sullenly, and he was no longer in the mood to chat, so he went his own way."

，、

said that Lu Tiaoyang and Zhu Dashou walked through the hall with silence. Arrived in the back hall. The back hall is a row of buildings of various colors, a hall in the middle faces south, there is a throne, it is specially set up for the emperor to come once in a leap year without leap month, the east and west sides are the library of books, Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin's "Yuan History" is built here. There is a well pavilion in the east of the precincts. It is said that it is the champion of Chenghua Liu Dingzhi, so it is called Liu Jing. There is also a pavilion in the west, which is also built by Ke Qian, the champion of Chenghua, so it is said that "Ke Ting, it can be seen that the avenue is simple, and it makes sense if it is clumsy."

From Liu Jing and the east is the Dongzhai room, hanging Yan Song's handwritten "Jixian Qing Secret" so it is also called the Qing Secret Hall, here is also the office of the Hallym College, only to come by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu concurrently serves as the college. Therefore, the Qing Secret Hall has always been empty. This is knowing that Shen Mo is coming, so he hurriedly cleaned up the furnishings and invited the first full-time Hanlin Academy in decades to become the owner.

Shen Mo entered the Qing Secret Hall, and when he opened the window, he saw that there was Yingzhou Pavilion in front of the hall, and there was a Phoenix Pond under the pavilion. There is Baoshan Hall in the south of the pond, behind the hall is Chen Lexuan, the willows are still around, the blue waves are rippling, there are brocade scales jumping out of the water from time to time, the fine color is beautiful.

Very satisfied with his office environment, he sat silently behind the big case, beckoned the two deputies to sit down and said, "They are all their own brothers." It doesn't have to be so restrictive. ”

Zhu Dashou smiled and nodded, and continued to pretend to be unfamiliar with Shen Mo, although Lu Tiaoyang on the side had only been in contact with Shen Mo a few times, he was very affectionate, and said: "Since Ying Tianxiang tried to witness the demeanor of adults, Xia Guan thought about it for a long time, looking forward to getting the teachings of adults again, but he didn't expect that this could be realized." Could it be that this is fate?

Took care of a little bit of family matters, and then continued to update"
