Chapter 254: The Emperor Summons
Han Fei seems to be specially used to create legends. He has superb medical skills and business genius, and in just a few years, he has built the Han family into a powerful party and become a business leader in Jiangnan, although Shilin generally despises businessmen, but who can despise Han Fei's talent?
However, Han Fei was not only a businessman, he also made a lot of trouble in Shilin, and the Minxuan became a common platform for all schools of Shilin to publicize and discourse. Han Fei's talent is even more miraculous, and his poems and articles have been regarded as classics by countless people, and Lianzhong Liuyuan has become a myth of Shilin immortality.
On the first day of Han Fei's career, he set a new record, and the new champion was promoted to three levels in a row, and he became a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy.
After retreating from the court, Han Fei walked out of the hall with his newly issued official uniform in his hand, and his spirit was also a little trance. He couldn't have imagined that he would overcome the years of struggle of others in one day. The other ministers looked at him, and they were also envious, jealous and hateful, from the five-grade attendant to the bachelor, mixed for a year or two, and the place where he was released, at least it was a prefect.
"Integrityβ"
Han Fei heard the shout, looked back, and saw that it was Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Teacher-"
"Hmm!" Gong Jing liked this proud protΓ©gΓ© more and more, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Be upright, the Holy Lord is very kind to you, you must exercise diligently in the Hanlin Academy, familiarize yourself with the various systems of the imperial court as soon as possible, and report to the Holy Lord Longen as soon as possible!" β
"Students will remember the teachings of their teachers and will live up to the expectations of the saints!" Han Fei immediately expressed his position.
"That's good!" Gong Jing saw that many officials looked at their master and apprentice, so he said: "Shouzheng, you have nothing to do, just go back to the house later and talk to the old man at the Ministry of Rites!" β
"Students obey!"
Han Fei followed behind Gong Jing, and just after walking a few steps, he heard someone shouting, "Keep up!" β
Han Fei looked back and saw that it was Wang Ruolan's clan uncle Wang Ziteng, although he was not close to the Wang family, but the etiquette could not be abolished, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Little nephew to meet my uncle!" β
"Okay, keep upright, Thirteen Niang can have a husband like you, the old man is very pleased, our two families are relatives, and we have to sit in the house empty!"
Wang Ziteng took the initiative to invite, obviously showing goodwill, Han Fei knew it, so he said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, the little nephew will definitely visit Ruolan when he is free!" β
"There is also the old man's granddaughter Yushuang, the old man listened to Yi'er and said that Yushuang is extremely well-behaved, but unfortunately the old man is busy and hasn't seen him yet, haha......"
Wang Ziteng saw that Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was still waiting on the side, and said: "Shouzheng, you go with your teacher, let's go back to the mansion and talk!" β
"Okay, uncle, go slowly!"
Han Fei waited for the prince to walk away before he followed Gong Jing, he didn't have anything to do now, so it would be good to go to the Ministry of Rites to talk to Gong Jing about the general trend of the imperial court.
"Lord Han, Lord Han go slowly, the Holy Lord summons!"
Hearing the eunuch's shout, Han Fei thought it was calling someone else, and did not stop, until the eunuch chased after him, and then remembered that he had entered the ranks of "adults".
"Lord Han, the Holy Lord has summoned you to the palace to discuss matters!"
A scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who has just been crowned and has not yet arrived, has been summoned by the emperor so soon, what kind of grace is this? The ministers passing by were all surprised and stopped to watch.
Han Fei was also a little stunned, and asked, "Father-in-law, is the Holy Lord summoning the lower officials?" β
The eunuch who delivered the message hurriedly said: "Exactly, the Holy Lord is waiting in the imperial study, Lord Han must not delay!" β
Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly said: "Shouzheng, you go quickly, go to the old man's mansion in the evening to talk!" β
"Students obey!" Han Fei saluted Gong Jing, and then followed the eunuch who passed the message to the imperial study.
Walking to a corner, the eunuch who passed the message looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else, so he slowed down and said softly: "Lord Han, the younger one is the godson of Huang Gonggong, and the godfather often talks to the little one about the high righteousness of Lord Han, if Lord Han has anything in the future, even if he is instructed, the little one will do his best!" β
"Thank you, little father-in-law, little father-in-law, pay attention to your step!" While Han Fei shouted, he stretched out his hand to support the messenger.
The eunuch was stunned, there was nothing under his feet at all, why did Han Fei ...... He was suddenly stuffed into a paper scroll by Han Fei in his hand, and immediately understood that Han Fei was taking the opportunity to give him a silver ticket.
"Thank you, Lord Han, it's just a small ......"
Han Fei smiled slightly, and said softly: "This official and Huang Gonggong are friends, and the little father-in-law is naturally also friends, a little greeting gift, don't mind!" β
The messenger said gratefully: "The grace of the adults, the little ones are not grateful!" β
The eunuch who passed the message led Han Fei to walk forward quickly, and soon arrived outside the imperial study, and after the eunuch went in to report, he came out to lead Han Fei into the hall.
"Weichen Han Fei knocks on the saint, long live the saint, long live the saint!"
The emperor was eating, hurriedly put down the food in his hand, and said with a smile: "Han Aiqing is flat!" Han Aiqing hasn't eaten yet, has he? Come here, quickly move two plates over and give them to Han Aiqing to eat! β
The emperor's reward for food is a grace, and Han Fei hurriedly thanked him again. It's been half a morning since the early dynasty, and Han Fei hasn't eaten, and he is indeed a little hungry, so he went to the side compartment to eat honestly and unceremoniously.
While eating, the emperor looked at Han Fei, and when he saw that he was heroic, he couldn't help but praise him in his heart, and suddenly said: "Han Aiqing's talent, I have heard about it for a long time, and I appreciate it very much, but Han Aiqing was a little reckless in the last palace test, you are so against Ruan Xianggong, are you not afraid that he will suppress your career?" β
"What the Holy Lords teach!" When Han Fei heard the emperor's question, he immediately got up and replied: "My mother and teacher have always taught Weichen to abide by the four words of 'loyalty to the monarch and serve the country', and Weichen also uses these four words as a measure of life. Dahua is the holy Dahua, whether it is a reward or a punishment is the grace of the saint, not given by a certain minister, Weichen is only willing to uphold the concept of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, and is not willing to cater to the preferences of a certain minister for the sake of temporary interests! β
"Well said, Han Aiqing is sincere, and I am very relieved! Aiqing has courage, knowledge and talent, first experience some time in the Hanlin Academy, I will be reused! β
"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen, you must remember Your Majesty's teachings, study government affairs attentively, and better repay Your Majesty's grace in the future!"
"Good!"
The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "King Beijing has a peculiar portrait, vivid, he regards it as a treasure, and he is reluctant to give it even if I ask for it, it is said that you painted it?" β
Han Fei understood at this time that the emperor was also a literary and artistic young man, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen did paint a painting for King Beijing, except that the painting method is a little more novel, there is nothing surprising!" β
"Han Aiqing will also draw a picture for me!"
Han Fei was stunned for a moment, the portrait of the emperor is not so easy to paint, it is not good to paint too well or too badly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and Weichen can't draw the true face of ordinary people, Weichen still paints...... How about painting the main hall? β
"Okay, Aiqing will draw it now, I'll take a look!" As he spoke, the emperor ordered someone to take out charcoal, drawing paper and other things.
Han Fei understood that King Beijing had told the emperor, so it was difficult to refuse, so he carefully observed the structure in the hall, chose a perspective, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to paint. The emperor sat on the chair beside Han Fei and watched carefully.
"It's really a miracle skill!" The emperor held Han Fei's finished painting and couldn't put it down.
Han Fei knew that the emperor had summoned him to paint, the painting had been completed, and it was time to withdraw, so he said: "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, Weichen will retire!" β
"Well, Aiqing go!" The emperor suddenly said again: "Han Aiqing is so young, she must not have married a wife yet, right?" β
Han Fei didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked about this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already accepted a few concubines, and he hasn't married a wife yet!" β
"I know, Aiqing retreat!"
