The next day, Xiao Liulang got up early and went to the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin courtyard was very lively, and from time to time there were congratulations and laughter from the other row of office rooms.

Xiao Liulang didn't know what was going on at first, but Ning Zhiyuan came, so he whispered to him that Yang Xiushu had been promoted.

It is no secret that Yang Xiushu is about to be promoted, but I heard that it will be at the end of the year.

"Do you know how he got promoted?" Ning Zhiyuan asked.

"How did you get promoted?" Xiao Liulang didn't have much interest in Yang Xiu's matter, it was purely to satisfy Ning Zhiyuan's carefulness to gossip.

"Let's go, let's go to your side!" Ning Zhiyuan dragged Xiao Liulang to the office room that smelled of ecstasy.

"Lord Chen was transferred to the household department early in the morning." Ning Zhiyuandao.

It is not uncommon for the six departments of the imperial court to transfer people from the Hanlin Academy, and Chen Shiyu was also favored by the head of the household department early in the morning, and he wanted to be transferred to work under him.

It was precisely because he was about to be transferred that an official position of a waiter was vacated, allowing Yang Xiushu to be promoted.

Originally, Lord Chen was also transferred after the year, but it was such a coincidence.

"I heard that your library is very well organized, and there are several books that have been restored and won Yuan Shoufu's favor."

Xiao Liulang sorted out and restored most of the books, but not all, Yang Xiushu and Anjun Wang and his party also repaired some of them, so Xiao Liulang didn't guess that it would be the ones he restored that won Yuan Shoufu's favor for the time being.

Ning Zhiyuan was even more unaware.

He just sighed that Yang Xiu's luck was too good, obviously he was not a good person, why was his official luck so prosperous?

Ning Zhiyuan sighed: "Lord Han greatly appreciated Yang Xiu. No, it's time to call him Yang to read, Zheng Liupin! Originally, he was on the same level as you, but now he really crushes you. ”

Xiao Liulang didn't care much and said, "I didn't know that he would be promoted today." ”

Isn't it all a rise in the morning and a rise in the evening?

Yang Shishu was born in Shujishi, and it took him five years to get into the position of an attendant, which is already fast for Shujishi.

Xiao Liulang is different, he is a first-class champion, as long as he does not die, the speed of promotion will definitely be faster than that of Jinshi in the same period.

Yang Attendant pressed him only temporarily.

"Look at this again." Ning Zhiyuan took out an inscription from his arms.

Xiao Liulang asked, "What are you doing with this kind of thing?" ”

"No, I'll show you what it's about!" Ning Zhiyuan handed the manuscript paper of the inscription to Xiao Liulang, "Familiar or not?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "I wrote it, what's wrong?" ”

Ning Zhiyuan sighed: "Yang Shiyu handed it in, and I guided it for a long time and asked him to rewrite it seventeen times, and all your credit will be wiped out." You tell me the truth, did he guide you a word? ”

Xiao Liulang took the inscription, put it on the table casually, and said casually: "It's just an inscription." ”

"You're really not angry?" Ning Zhiyuan didn't seem to believe it.

"What's so angry?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"It's good not to be angry." Ning Zhiyuan was relieved to come here, "This kind of thing is commonplace in officialdom, and I don't have the right to speak until I get out." You can be so calm at a young age, I was much stronger. But Xiao Liulang, you promise me, even if you climb on the heads of these people one day, don't become like them. ”

Ning Zhiyuan stood in his thirties, his appearance was not outstanding, his face was Chinese, and his complexion was still dark.

But at this moment, his eyes looking at Xiao Liulang were so bright, with a certain kind of blood and conviction, that it almost burned people's eyes.

Xiao Liulang looked at him fixedly and nodded.

Ning Zhiyuan showed a relieved smile, he patted Xiao Liulang on the shoulder, and said with ambition: "Don't look at my humble background, no background, no connections, but I occasionally dream, just think that one day I will climb up...... I don't have to climb too high, Wupin Hanlin is my dream in this life! ”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to force out all the contempt he had received along the way out of his bones: "I'm thinking, when I have that day, when I take charge of the Hanlin Academy, I will never appoint people for money, never for cronyism, never for others, never for others, never for others!" ”

-

After the rain, the climate in the capital is pleasant.

After the next court, the major officials left the palace in turn and went to their respective offices.

Mrs. Zhuang also came out of the Jinluan Palace, and chatted a few words with a few colleagues who had good deals, and there was nothing to report to the Queen Mother today, so he planned to leave the palace.

He had just walked a few steps when he was stopped by Yuan Shoufu.

"Mrs. Zhuang."

Mrs. Zhuang turned around with a little surprise: "Yuan Shoufu? ”

Yuan Shoufu is the first minister of the cabinet, but the two deputy assistants in the cabinet, the Zhongshu Sheren and the three cabinet scholars are all Zhuang Taifu's people, so it can also be said that almost half of the cabinet fell into the control of Zhuang Taifu.

It's just that the cabinet still respects Yuan Shoufu, and he still has the greatest right to speak.

But Yuan Shoufu is old, and he won't be the first assistant for a few years, and one day, one of the second assistants will take his place.

At that time, it was when he Zhuang Taifu completely dominated the cabinet.

Mrs. Zhuang never clashed with Yuan Shoufu on the surface, but the two of them have never had anything to do with each other, so I don't know why Yuan Shoufu stopped him today.

Yuan Shoufu stepped forward and looked at Mrs. Zhuang with a pleasant face: "Mrs. Zhuang's complexion has been getting better and better recently. ”

Mrs. Zhuang said politely: "Thank you." ”

Yuan Shoufu smiled: "Mrs. Zhuang is polite. ”

Mrs. Zhuang said bluntly: "Yuan Shoufu has something to do with me? ”

Yuan Shoufu said: "It's not a big deal, yesterday I read some ancient books sent by the Hanlin Academy, the restoration is good, several omissions that the great Confucians in the court can't make up their minds, the Hanlin Academy has filled in this time, I heard that the king of Anjun also participated in the editing." ”

Mrs. Zhuang said, "Really? I didn't inquire too much about Yuheng. ”

He really didn't ask.

But someone gave it to him.

The reason why he said this was to avoid suspicion in front of Yuan Shoufu and show that he did not interfere in the Hanlin Academy.

Yuan Shoufu did not mention "Yanbei Fu" separately, because after reading the remaining documents last night, he found that its amazement was not inferior to "Yanbei Fu".

At his age, it was thirty years ago that he read at night, but he couldn't stop reading last night.

Although he has not personally seen the original ancient books, most of these histories can be verified from other ancient books.

In other words, to restore these ancient books, we need a majestic historical reserve as a foundation.

And there are no handwriting errors.

Even Yuan Shoufu himself, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not bad to do a word in such a boring state.

Yuan Shoufu didn't know that Xiao Liulang stayed up late at night to light an oil lamp to repair it, and if he knew, he was afraid that it would be even worse.

Mrs. Zhuang knew the whereabouts of King Anjun well, so he naturally knew that he had been to the Yueluo Mountain Library.

He thought that Yuan Shoufu said this because he had obtained several ancient books restored by King Anjun, and he knew the strength of his grandson, so he did not suspect that there was a misunderstanding.

He smiled and said, "If you can contribute something to the Hanlin Academy, it is not in vain that he has been studying for so many years." ”

"Why do you do something? It's a big credit. Yuan Shoufu never praised people easily, even the little marquis who was the crown of Zhaodu never got a word of exaggeration from him, "Mrs. Zhuang, you have a good grandson." ”

Mrs. Zhuang is simply flattered, this old picky ghost, can he actually praise people?

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and arched his hand: "Yuan Shoufu praised it." ”

Yuan Shoufu laughed and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Zhuang's grandson has not yet been married?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang was stunned.

At the end of May, an exam was held.

Among the Jishi, Feng Lin and Lin Chengye ranked fourth and fifth from the bottom respectively, and Du Ruohan squeezed into the top nine.

Yuan Shoufu's grandson, Yuan Yu, was originally a second-class passenger, and he won the first place in the Shujishi exam.

This time the performance was out of order, dropping to fifth.

The editors and editors do not rank the grades with them, after all, the exam questions are different.

萧六郎第七，宁致远第六，第一是安郡王。

Ning Zhiyuan came to Xiao Liulang and whispered, "It's impossible...... Obviously I got so many arithmetic wrongs...... You're not wrong about any of them...... How can I do better than you? ”

Arithmetic is the easiest way to calculate fractions, right is right, wrong is wrong, unlike the questions of Kaowencai, which are too subjective.

And even if it is Kao Wencai, Ning Zhiyuan is definitely inferior to Xiao Liulang.

Needless to say, I also know that Xiao Liulang was deliberately suppressed for results.

This kind of internal examination is not as strict as the scientific examination, and candidates who are not satisfied with the results can go to the yamen or the tribute academy to look at the examination papers, and if they are still not convinced, they can go to beat the drum.

The Hanlin officials finished the exam and had no chance to defend themselves.
