Du Jinning's grade is low, and he is not qualified to go to court. But the upper government must be pointed. The so-called point Mao, as the name suggests, is to take a roll call at the time of Mao.

It is equivalent to five to seven o'clock in the modern morning. It's six o'clock.

Fortunately, after wearing it in ancient times, there was no entertainment at night, and Du Jinning was reluctant to light the lamp to read in order to protect his eyes, so after half an hour of walking after dinner, he went to bed at seven or eight o'clock. Go to bed early and wake up naturally. She gets up before five o'clock every day and starts jogging a few laps and then doing a few punches. So getting up at five o'clock and having breakfast to go to work does not affect her rhythm of life at all.

Two minutes later, her carriage was far away in front of the palace.

Because of the early dynasty, there were all kinds of carriages and sedan chairs parked in front of the palace, and her carriage could not drive through, so she could only walk for a while.

Take out the waist card and verify the body. Du Jinning stepped into the palace.

She had already inquired clearly, as the emperor's secretarial institution, the Hanlin Academy's office was located in the palace, and it was separated from the courtyard of the emperor's main hall. In other words, if there is any will on the emperor's side, the eunuch will come to pass the word, and it is only a few minutes away, which is very convenient.

According to the information she inquired, she walked west after entering the door, and saw a courtyard, and a few big characters were written on the door of the courtyard: Hanlin Academy.

This is it.

Du Jinning happily entered the gate.

The courtyard is quite large and paved with green bricks. There are also two flower beds fenced on both sides of the road, and the flower beds are filled with two trees and some flowers. The courtyard is flanked by two cloisters. From a distance, Du Jinning saw a plaque hanging on the gate of the main courtyard, with a few big characters written on it: "Chengzhi Pavilion".

Du Jinning hurriedly walked along the left corridor and walked to the door of the Chengzhi Pavilion, as she expected, the door of the Chengzhi Pavilion was closed.

The current Hanlin Academy is not a cabinet institution like the Hanlin Academy in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although it was much more important than its role in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still a relatively simple secretarial institution. At this time, there were only six places in the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy was the largest official in it, and it was the fifth grade. Below him there were two old Hanlin, one from the fifth rank and the other from the sixth grade. and then Du Jinning, the new champion, from the sixth grade; The smallest official positions are Yao Rongguan and Tanhua Qi Muyuan, who are seven products.

Du Jinning's three Shangguan are both five-rank officials, so they naturally have to go to the court; Yao Rongguan and Qi Muyuan haven't come yet. Except for Du Jinning himself, there is naturally no ghost here.

The Seongji Pavilion is the main courtyard, and as the name suggests, it is the office of the Seungji. When the eunuchs came to pass on the emperor's holy decree, they all went directly to the Chengzhi Pavilion to confess, and then the Chengzhi Lord assigned the task to his subordinates. The three rooms in this row of the Chengzhi Pavilion are all locked doors, and I don't know if the three old Hanlin are each one, or if these three are the offices of Lord Chengzhi.

She looked around, walked forward, and sure enough, she saw a passage in the innermost room, which went straight through the backyard.

The layout of the backyard is the same as the front yard. But the three rooms were wide open, and each of them contained a table and a few chairs, as well as some four treasures of the study, which presumably were their offices.

Among the three new Hanlin, Du Jinning had the highest grade, so she was honest and polite, walked directly into the middle room, picked a chair and sat down.

As soon as she sat down and took a breath, she heard footsteps outside, obviously Yao Rongguan or Qi Muyuan coming. She didn't bother to get up, she just sat quietly, waiting for someone to come.

"It should be here, right? Why isn't there even a person to answer? ”

This is Yao Rongguan's voice.

"The three adults should go to court. In the six offices outside, adults can also bring small servants or long-term followers; This is the Imperial Palace, and people are not allowed to enter. Therefore, apart from the three of us newcomers, there is no one else here, and naturally no one will come to answer them. Qi Mu said from afar.

"Why hasn't Du Zhuangyuan come yet? The time is almost up. ”

Before Yao Rongguan finished speaking, he saw that the old god Du Jinning was sitting in the middle of the room, and his beautiful big eyes like grapes were quietly watching him.

He couldn't help but be embarrassed, and raised his hand to give Du Jinning a look: "Master Du, you arrived early?" It seems that the next official is late, hehe......"

"I've just arrived, too." Du Jinning got up and raised his hand to salute back, and beckoned, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while." It's better to sit in first, and wait for Lord Chengzhi to come back and assign the room, so that we can know who sits in which room. ”

Yao Rongguan and Qi Muyuan came in and sat down at the bottom.

Du Jinning had such a big incident that day, Qi Bokun naturally wouldn't go back and tell Qi Muyuan. Although Qi Bokun disagreed with the relationship between the two very much, he could also see that Du Jinning's political ability made her like the sun in the sky, and no one could block her light. Befriending such a person is very beneficial to Qi Muyuan. He made up his mind that as long as Qi Muyuan obediently married a wife and had children, he would not care about Du Qi's affairs.

Hearing that Du Jinning was involved in such a big event, Qi Muyuan was startled, and ran to Du's house to complain, complaining that Du Jinning knew that Shen Langzhong had bad intentions that day, and he didn't tell him. If he accompanied Du Jinning to the appointment, nothing would have happened.

At that time, Du Jinning blocked him: "Who told you to tell your grandfather about it?" I don't even have the face to see your grandfather. ”

Immediately, she rushed out to Qi Muyuan: "Let's go, except for a few brothers in the future, don't come to me alone, lest your grandfather think too much." I don't want to upset him. ”

When they first met today, the two of them were a little embarrassed.

Yao Rongguan knew that Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan were talented and had a background, and their future prospects were immeasurable, so he wanted to be close to the two. As soon as he sat down, he saw Du Jinning take out a book from the bookbag she brought, and read it to himself, without the slightest intention of chatting with him and Qi Muyuan.

Turning his head again, Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning also made the same move.

In fact, this is a habit that the two have developed since childhood. Both of them read books when they have a little free time, instead of chatting and wandering around in a daze. Yesterday, I knew that after coming to the Hanlin Academy today, I would have to sit on the cold bench and wait for an hour or two, so I naturally had to bring a few books, so as not to be bored and not know how to pass the time.

Yao Rongguan was very excited yesterday, thinking about how he got along with Shangguan, how he behaved himself, how he asked Lord Chengzhi to assign more tasks to him, and then what he wrote was appreciated by the emperor and promoted step by step.

So when he came to the office today, he didn't bring any books except for some small personal belongings.

Du Jinning saw that he was looking around and fidgeting, so he kindly took out a book from his bookbag and handed it over: "Lord Yao, if you are bored, you might as well read a book?" ”

So the three old Hanlin returned to the Hanlin Courtyard after the court, and found that the Hanlin Courtyard was quiet and seemed to be empty. The three of them found the back and saw that the three new Hanlin were sitting in a room, each holding a book and reading intently.
