As usual, it was an ordinary and ordinary day, Xu Erlang went to the yamen and picked up the books on the bookcase and continued to read.

After the initial adaptation period, they began their own work - reading, sorting out old manuscripts, and recompiling the books that had already been proposed.

Of course, the latter work is not something that anyone can do if they want to, and if it is not for people with deep professional knowledge, knowledge, wisdom and talent, it may not necessarily be included.

For example, Xu Erlang, Li Hehui, and Equation, although they are the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua of today's department, it stands to reason that everyone is talented, knowledgeable, and capable. But because of his young age and lack of professional knowledge, he was also excluded, so he could only reluctantly work on the side.

This job was assigned because the three of them were the first class, and the rest of the fellow scholars who were admitted to the Hanlin Academy did not have this blessing.

Xu Erlang and the three of them are not picky, they do the work when they are assigned, and they can't work hard.

After all, although it takes too long to write a large book, it is possible to write a book for as little as three or five years, as much as thirty or fifty years, or even hundreds of years, such as the "Yongcheng Canon" compiled by the previous dynasty, which took nearly 30 years to complete.

Thirty years is almost the time when a junior official who has newly entered the Hanlin Academy has grown into a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy. If a person focuses on the wind and rain of officialdom and strives to climb up, he may also be the first person in the Hanlin Academy after this.

Think about it, if the book is successfully printed and sent to all parts of the country, it will not only be as simple as becoming famous in the country, but also that you and the book will be immortal for centuries.

Therefore, no matter what kind of intention you have in mind to join this book-making activity, it is absolutely impossible to devote yourself to it since you are involved.

Xu Erlang is talented, otherwise he would not have won the champion in just a few years. However, there are many champions and tanhua in the Hanlin Academy. Looking at it with a big eye, who was not a character who had been on the streets before.

But people are old, have a lot of accumulation, and have deep experience, which Xu Erlang and others can't have for the time being. Therefore, in order to participate in the process of writing books as much as possible, Xu Erlang not only has to read as many books as possible every day to increase his accumulation, but also to read many books or folk books with different professional knowledge, which is also busy.

In addition, he also has the title of a secretary, and he has to regularly lecture to the emperor or princes, and he is getting busier.

Although Xu Erlang has not been summoned by His Majesty to tell a book once so far, several princes have seen him all. And whether it is to give a lecture to the prince or to His Majesty, the book must be read thoroughly and deeply, and there is no room for ambiguity, let alone mistakes and omissions, otherwise, he will be the end of the official.

Today is still the day to give a lecture to His Majesty, but the Son of Heaven is definitely different from the Prince. The prince can only obey people's orders, and the reason why the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven is because he is the largest in this time and space, no one can beak him, no one can disobey him, and no one can arrange him. Therefore, although it is said that it is a lecture to His Majesty, it also depends on His Majesty's mood, if His Majesty does not summon him, today's lecture will be cancelled.

And this kind of cancellation has not been reopened since Xu Erlang and others joined the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, although several waiters know that today's days are different, they are too concerned about it. After all, His Majesty is still the governor of the southeast sea, and he is in a very bad mood when he is arguing with all of you in the court.

His Majesty is busy and flawless, and he will definitely not want to listen to books because of his scruples, and these courtiers, although they are loyal to the country, do not want to die before they become a teacher, and they have not yet made a name for themselves in future generations, and they are not meritorious deeds, just because they have made His Majesty unhappy, they will take the first step on the road of dismissal and return home.

But the world is unpredictable, and they all thought that His Majesty would definitely not be able to remember listening to the book today, but who knew that not long before lunch, a little eunuch came to the palace, and sent a decree to let the servant on duty today go to see His Majesty.

The scrivener on duty today...... Unfortunately, it was Xu Erlang.

Xu Erlang stared at the eyes of his colleagues who were either sympathetic or regretful or gloating, and quickly packed up and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

It is not the first time that Xu Erlang has entered the palace, after all, several princes are still young, and they are not yet out of the palace to open the palace, so the place to tell them the book is naturally in the palace.

But it was the first time he had come to His Majesty's Taiji Palace.

After all, this is the place where His Majesty meets the important ministers of the imperial court in the back, discusses military affairs, and approves the folds. For example, a six-rank small pipe like Xu Erlang is really not qualified to step into such a national authoritative palace.

But he is also a holding person, although he was a little stunned at first, but then returned to normal. There was no trembling look on his face, and he was really calm and calm to a certain point.

The little eunuch stopped in front of the Taiji Palace, and then walked up to the big eunuch guarding the door and whispered. The big eunuch went in to report with a slight chin, and then Xu Erlang was announced.

Emperor Yunwen was an emperor who liked fishing, but he was also diligent in government and loved the people. Therefore, the excerpts sent by the courtiers below are basically reviewed by themselves, so you can imagine how much work there is.

When Xu Erlang entered, he looked up slightly and saw that the royal case was full of folds. Some seem to have been annotated and placed in one direction. But most of them should be unreviewed, stacked high and placed on the other side.

There was no one after the imperial case, and Xu Erlang listened to the sound of breathing and judged that the person should still be in the Taiji Palace. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a large rosewood sixteen open screen in the palace, and he was sure in his heart.

Sure enough, a person walked out behind the screen later, and there was no doubt about Emperor Yunwen today.

Emperor Yunwen was also a little surprised when he saw Xu Erlang kneeling. After being surprised, he was suddenly surprised, obviously he remembered that this courtier had won the champion before, and he had arranged for him to enter the Hanlin Academy as a secretary.

This is really a coincidence, I was depressed today and wanted to listen to the book, but it turned out that Xu Yi was on duty. It's not bad, after all, seeing a pleasing person at this time makes me feel more comfortable.

Thinking like this, Emperor Yunwen evoked it, and by the way, he threw Xu Erlang a copy of "On the Emperor", "Read this book." ”

Xu Erlang didn't even raise his head, picked up the book and looked at the cover, and then moved.

When he came to the palace, he also asked the little eunuch if he brought too many books, after all, the experience taught by his predecessors was that His Majesty would specially specify what kind of books he wanted to hear, so it was best to bring his own books into the palace before entering the palace. It's a pity that he was called back today after routine inquiry, and the little eunuch only said that His Majesty had other arrangements, and there was no need to bring books specially - it turned out that His Majesty's arrangement was this.

It's a pity that "The Treatise on Emperors" is not something that officials like them can read, let alone teach it. Only those who have been designated by His Majesty as the Taifu can hold this book openly and speak two or three words in front of His Majesty.

And he, a six-grade servant......

But in front of His Majesty, how could he question and refute the reason?

So Xu Erlang took the book casually and asked again, "I wonder where Your Majesty wants to hear from there?" ”

"Just read it from the beginning."

"Obey."

This is really an easy errand, because the emperor is easy to serve, but after listening to a book, he fell asleep on the chaise longue, so Xu Erlang's pressure suddenly decreased, and his spirit was much more relaxed. But in the Taiji Palace, before the royal drive, he didn't dare to relax too much, and still read diligently.

Later, Gonggong Li, the head of the imperial front, came in and beckoned to Xu Erlang to step down. Xu Erlang had no objection, stood up and arched his hand at the person, and then retreated respectfully.

Gonggong Li then retreated, and said to Xu Erlang in a shrill but gentle voice, "I have worked hard for Xu Shishu today." Your Majesty is already asleep, so please bother Xu Shishu to go back first. Later, His Majesty will wake up, and if there is an envoy, the old slave will let someone call the servant. ”

Xu Erlang gave up his hand, "Everything is annoying to my father-in-law." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just to do things according to His Majesty's orders."

Xu Erlang gave up his hand again, said goodbye to Gonggong Li, and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

When I arrived at the Hanlin Academy, all the adults had already had lunch and hid in their office to rest.

It's August now, but the sun is still blazing at noon. In addition, there are many scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and there are many years of elderly, so they have to take a break after lunch every day, otherwise they will have no energy to work in the afternoon.

Therefore, when Xu Erlang came back, the entire Hanlin Courtyard was very clean, and there were few people in the lobby.

It is said that there are few people, but in fact there are still people. There are people, one of them is naturally Suqian, the second is Li Hehui, and then there is the equation.

Su Qian and Li Hehui were not surprised again, after all, the three of them had a good relationship, and this was the first time he went to the imperial front, and it was normal for the two to worry about his comfort. But the equation is also here, undoubtedly to see if he is in trouble or not, to laugh at him.

It's a pity that the facts are disappointing, and Xu Erlang came back safely.

The equation felt a little regret in his heart, and muttered a few words angrily. Although a few people didn't hear the specific words clearly, but looking at his expression, a few people can guess that this person must be regretful, and they all said that His Majesty has been arguing with the court because of the admiral of the southeast coastal naval division in the past few days, and the whole person is irritable, even so, Xu Erlang hit the muzzle of the gun, why didn't anyone accidentally provoke the emperor's anger and be punished by His Majesty?

This person's villain's heart is really angry at a glance.

Su Qian raised his leg and was about to kick over, but he was dodged first by the equation when he saw that the situation was not good. Then this person didn't stay here anymore, glared at Xu Erlang angrily and walked towards his public house.

"This person, heh, with this temperament, I really want to cover him with a sack and clean up the person." Suqian was indignant, "Looking at people's noses all day long is not a nose, and eyes are not eyes, who owes him!" Oh, if you don't get the top spot in the exam, I'll push the pot to you, I've never seen such a brazen person in my life. ”

Li Hehui also sighed, "Everyone is a fellow scholar, and they are on an errand in the same yamen, so they should take care of each other." Because his own ability is not as good as Brother Shiheng, he blames Brother Shiheng, and treats Brother Shiheng as an enemy, looking for trouble everywhere and not saying anything, and gossiping behind his back. This is really, really, insulting gentleman Sven......"

Xu Erlang is quite tolerant of this, "He is also gossiping behind his back, but he doesn't dare to say it in front of me." This kind of person, if you leave him alone, you can't set off a big storm after all. ”

Seeing that Su Qian looked unimpressed, Xu Erlang smiled again, "This person is a real villain, just guard against it." But he's better than some people, at least he doesn't like me to put it on his face, and he doesn't bother to hide it. It's not like some people, who are close to me in front of me, call me brothers, but run to the head of the academy behind their backs to gossip, this kind of talent needs to be slapped to death. ”

Who Xu Erlang is talking about, Suqian and Li Hehui both know. After all, they are all in the same yamen, and they can't hide the slightest thing. What's more, the master of the academy likes Xu Erlang quite a bit of the young man, so he doesn't need him to leak his mouth, naturally some people leak some news with Xu Erlang in order to get a different look at the bachelor of the academy, so someone accused him of occupying the ancient books of the previous dynasty, acting domineeringly, and rashly receiving merit Xu Erlang is clear.

As for these "complaints", they must be slanderous words, and no one believes them without Xu Erlang's explanation. only said that the person who complained didn't step on Xu Erlang, but he made a fuss, he couldn't bear to be pointed at by the people of the entire Hanlin Academy because of this matter, so he got a cold in the past few days and recuperated at home.

didn't say that there were some of these things, but Li Hehui and Suqian saw that Xu Erlang came back safely, so they didn't inquire more, but just told him, "My brother and sister sent someone to bring food, I asked someone to send it to your public house, go eat it, it won't taste good when it cools later", and turned around and went back to his public house to rest.

Regarding how Xu Erlang was in front of the palace, they had the heart to ask a few words, but it was definitely not now, and it was definitely not in the Hanlin Academy. After all, there are many people in the Hanlin Academy, and they inquired about the affairs of the imperial front, and they were sued by others, and they couldn't escape the charge of watching the imperial front.

Therefore, there are some things that will be talked about later, and now we will rest first.

Xu Erlang returned to the separate public house, and saw that there was really a mahogany carved food box on the desk. The food box is divided into five layers, and there are osmanthus fish sticks, fresh mushroom and cabbage heart, Longjing shrimp, barbecued deer breast, and a ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup. The four dishes and one soup are sumptuous, but the amount is not large, and with one or two bowls of rice, Xu Erlang is just full.

There was no need for anyone to serve him, Xu Erlang brought out the food by himself, took the chopsticks and began to eat.

was carrying a pot of hot tea with Qu He.

In the past, Mohe had always been by Xu Erlang's side, but now Mohe was sent back to Pingyang to pick up Xu's father and Xu's mother. Now Xu Erlang is surrounded by Quhe and Tonghe to serve. Before, Tonghe waited for Xu Erlang at the gate of the palace, set up a carriage to carry people back to Hanlin Courtyard, and then went to eat, and this place was replaced by Quhe to serve.

Qu He put the hot water on the table, took the tea leaves and put them away, and prepared to make tea for Xu Erlang later.

Xu Erlang ate and asked casually, "Why did Madame remember to deliver food today?" ”
