Taizong once said: "The popularization of computers should start from the baby." ”

In fact, patriotic indoctrination should also start from the baby. Although these four students studying in Japan are no longer dolls, it is not too late to make amends. Therefore, Sun Yuanqi decided to make up for their evil before they left for Japan.

Of course, in addition to patriotism and love for the people, the training also includes Japanese customs and basic Japanese conversations. The foreign language that these students learn in the higher education hall is English, and if they are thrown into Japan rashly, they will definitely be like ducks falling into the nest, unable to communicate, struggling to move forward, and it will be difficult for them to integrate into normal study and life in a short period of time.

Fortunately, there is a teacher in the school who specializes in teaching Japanese like Nishigunmune, so there is no need to fake others. In addition, Wang Guowei, the director of the library, also studied in Japan for a period of time, and this person who came to tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese customs is absolutely to the point.

In his spare time, Sun Yuanqi will also deliberately talk to these four students, and the content is always intentionally or unintentionally quoted towards the future domestic and foreign situation. On the one hand, I want to listen to their high opinions and correct their misunderstandings as soon as possible. On the other hand, they want to tell what they know about the future trend, hoping that they can understand the process of history from it, so as to avoid some detours.

In the hustle and bustle, the school officially opened, and the students attended classes and military training. Sun Yuan saw that everything was on the right track, and only then did he remember what his uncle and grandfather and Wang Wenshao Zhongtang had repeatedly instructed him: After ten days and half a month, remember to go to the Hanlin Academy, even if you drink tea and read books, you can't go away.

You can not listen to the words of "oil-soaked loquat nucleus", but there is no room for bargaining for the words of my uncle. Choosing a sunny day, Sun Yuanqi awkwardly put on his work suit, called Lao Zhao, and prepared to enter the city.

Lao Zhao saw Sun Yuanqi wearing the official uniform of Cong Sipin, wearing a cool hat with red tassel feathers, and neatly punched a thousand: "Greetings to the master"

"Go, go, go" Sun Yuanqi waved his hand impatiently, "Lao Zhao, we have known each other for so many years, where did you come from so many false gifts and you are also fifty, kneeling like this, isn't it my life?" ”

Lao Zhao got up at this time, and said in a self-justification: "Master, you are the Wenqu star in the sky, and you kowtow to you, how can you break your life?" Besides, this official robe was given by the emperor, and it was stained with the royal dragon spirit, and ordinary ghosts and gods were not allowed to get close, how could ordinary people not kowtow when they saw it? If you don't kowtow, you'll be able to live a long life."

Sun Yuanqi thought to himself: First of all, I am always traveling, not Wenqu Xing; Secondly, this official uniform was obtained by the school recruiting 200 international students every year and saving the old lady a million taels of silver. Even if it is said to be "given", it is also Cixi's conscience discovery, and she slapped a sweet date. Emperor? The emperor is counting stars in Yingtai to play, how will he know that there is still such a person as me in the world?

At the moment, he didn't bother to refute Lao Zhao's words, but just ordered: "Lao Zhao, you go and clean up, and then call a carriage." Let's go to Lianzi Hutong today, and tomorrow morning we have to go to work in Yamen, and we may have to stay in the city overnight."

Hearing that the old man was going to the Yamen, Lao Zhao made a thousand more calls, and then ran out of the door.

In Sun Yuanqi's impression, even if he stayed in the city for one night, Lao Zhao didn't seem to have anything to pack, and the burden was a dozen rolls, and it would be good in minutes. Who Cheng thought that after half an hour, he didn't see Lao Zhao appear. I was puzzled, but in this era, there was no mobile phone and no QQ to contact, so I had to go out and look.

Coincidentally, when I went out, I saw Lao Zhao and seven or eight uniformed security guards walking over from a distance with a carriage. When I got closer, I found that the curtain on the car had changed, and it used to be a half-new blue cloth, but now it was a brand new green felt. Sun Yuanqi was a little strange: "Lao Zhao, why have you been gone for so long?" Also, when will the cloth on this car be changed? ”

Lao Zhao slapped himself: "I haven't served the eldest master, I almost missed a big event just now"

"What's wrong?" Sun Yuanqi was very puzzled.

"I just thought that the master would go to the yamen, as long as he took the full length of the house, it was casual. I met Lao Zheng just now, and after listening to him, I realized that the carriage and sedan chair that the old man was sitting in were very particular. Master, you are a fourth-grade official, so you naturally want to use green cloth, and blue is used below the fifth grade. In order to change the cloth on the car, it has been delayed until now. Fortunately, when I met Lao Zheng, I didn't cause a big disaster", Lao Zhao still looked like he had palpitations.

Sun Yuanqi patted his head: This Lao Zheng has made a big deal again, scaring Lao Zhao is a countryman, isn't it?

Since Lao Zhao has worked hard until now, he naturally can't say anything strange, only acquiescing to the facts, but said to the eight security guards: "There's nothing to do in the city this time, so you don't have to go." ”

When Lao Zhao heard this, he immediately put on a posture of being loyal and bitter to Wei Zheng: "Master, this can't make you just casual at school on weekdays, but now when you go to the Yamen, it is a place to talk about rules and pomp, how can you be casual?" I can't help it, sir."

“…… Okay," Sun Yuanqi gave in.

I didn't say anything all the way, and I entered the city and arrived at Lianzi Hutong. The porter naturally knew this nephew and young master, and someone had already come up to say goodbye, so he let himself go to the courtyard without waiting for the report.

When I saw Sun Yuanqi, someone had already entered the courtyard to report to the boss. Not long after he sat in the main hall, the old man walked out in an official uniform. The official uniforms of the ancestors and grandsons are generally the same, but the embroidery on the boss's official uniform is a crane, and Sun Yuanqi's is a cloud goose.

In other words, this official uniform, like the leader's license plate, does have a deterrent effect. I entered the city from Desheng Gate just now, and there was some congestion near the city gate in the afternoon, so Sun Yuanqi got out of the car to breathe. As a result, the soldiers at the door raised their eyes and saw Sun Yuanqi, seeing that he was so young, he guessed that he was definitely not a big official, so he walked over to see what was going on. When he approached, he saw that the complement on the official uniform was a cloud goose, and he immediately turned into a runner. After greeting a thousand people, the soldiers got up and shouted a few times, and a path flashed out of the noisy city gate.

After Sun Yuanqi knelt down to greet him, the old man said: "Baixi, when you enter the city this time, are you going to go to the Yamen Yingmao?" ”

"Yes, Uncle Grandpa." Sun Yuanqi replied respectfully.

The old man nodded approvingly and said, "Before, Wang Zhongtang told the old man that you were very respectful and dignified when you went to meet him. This is very good. I think you also went to visit Rong Shangshu, how about it, he is not difficult for you, right? ”

Sun Yuanqi could feel the love of the boss from his words, and he became more and more respectful at the moment: "Rong Shangshu is not embarrassed for me at all. When I went, Yuan Gongbao was also there, and after talking to them for a while, I took my leave. ”

The old man bowed slightly: "Yuan Xiangcheng is a character, you can get to know him." ”

Immediately, the boss said: "Baixi, if you go to Ying Mao this time, you will inevitably meet colleagues." Those attendants and attendants mostly rely on seniority to get up, and when they are older, they are so young that you are a bachelor of attendants, and you are a foreign jinshi, so you will inevitably rely on the old and sell the old, and speak harshly; And those revisions and compilations are mostly from the first class of the imperial examination, either champions, or list eyes and flowers, and seeing that you are above yourself, it is inevitable that you will be self-showy and jealous. They speak high and low, and you look at him coldly and answer him with a smile, don't hurt your face because of your momentary anger. ”

Feeling that I am an official hat, I can only be arrogant in front of the ordinary people, and those bureaucrats who were born on the right path of the imperial examination look down on me, so what do I have to do when I go to work? Looking for abuse and anger?

Sun Yuanqi wanted to find a reason not to go, but when he saw the old man staring at him with blazing eyes, he had to respond: "Yes"

"By the way, do you know where the Hanlin Academy is?" The old man asked.

“……”

This question really stopped Sun Yuanqi. When Lao Tong changed in Gengzi Kingdom, he was lost at the gate of Hanlin Academy. For this Hanlin Courtyard, which is located south of the imperial city, Sun Yuanqi still knows. However, this Hanlin Courtyard was burned down by the "heroic" Hui soldiers led by Dong Fuxiang, an "outstanding Hui general", and the remaining part was also occupied by the British Embassy. Naturally, the Hanlin Academy can't be there now.

I used to read the "Declaration", which mentioned that in June 1901, a year after most of the Hanlin Academy was burned to ruins, Kungang Kunzhongtang, the head of the Hanlin Academy, reported the destruction of the Hanlin Academy, and asked the court to allocate funds for the construction, and by the way, he also attributed the crime of burning the Hanlin Academy to the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, the contents of this recital were somehow made known to the ministers of various countries, and they sent an official note to the plenipotentiary ministers of the imperial court in Beijing, demanding that the facts be clarified immediately and the mistakes corrected. There was a big dispute.

In fact, the Qing court was full of lawsuits both internally and externally, and it may not take seriously the accusations against the foreign soldiers for burning the Hanlin Academy. It's just that as soon as the foreigner himself came out with an official note, it was inconvenient for the Qing court officials to pretend to be confused, and immediately passed on the news to clear up the situation. When Kunzhongtang, who caused the accident, heard the news, he immediately made corrections and statements.

As for where the Hanlin Academy moved to in the future, and whether the imperial court allocated funds for construction, Sun Yuanqi is unknown.

The old man didn't wait for Sun Yuanqi to answer, and said by himself: "It turns out that most of the Hanlin Academy has been destroyed in the war during the Gengzi State Change, and the rest of it is also occupied by the British Embassy. Now the yamen of the Hanlin Yuan has moved to Funan Street opposite Zhongnanhai, don't go wrong."

I don't even know where I work, which is a bit embarrassing. Sun Yuanqi replied with a shy face: "Thank you uncle and grandfather for reminding me."

The old man picked up the tea bowl: "Then you go, remember to go early tomorrow morning."
