165 Tiankeng Repair Book (2-in-1)

The Hanlin officials never expected that Zhou Xu would stand up to help Shen Yichen speak, you must know that he is a Jinshi in the Yongle period, and he has been squatting in the Hanlin Academy for decades without moving his nest, and Qian Xili can overpower him.

And more importantly, Zhou Xu doesn't like utilitarianism, is obsessed with academic research, and dares to make a direct admonition, which can be called the standard template of ancient scholars.

In these years, if you have no desire, you are strong, in terms of qualifications, academics, nobility, and morality, all the Hanlin in the duty hall are far inferior, who dares to come forward to refute and accuse Shen Yichen?

"Master Zhou doesn't need to be angry, it's just a little contradiction between the juniors, and the matter should be over."

Qian Xili looked at Zhou Xuming's blatant "shielding" Shen Yichen, so he spoke to ease the atmosphere.

At the same time, his heart was full of amazement, how did Shen Yichen, a kid who was good at dancing with long sleeves, and even an old scholar like Zhou Xu was willing to support him so strongly?

Not to mention the reason for the township test teacher, Qian Xili knew very well that that little affection was completely insufficient. It can only be said that Shen Yichen's son does have a unique personal charm.

"Just according to what the head of the house says."

Zhou Xu arched his hand, Qian Xili still has to give face. Moreover, Shen Yichen will have to mix in the Hanlin Academy in the future, and it is not good to make things bigger.

"Okay, all living beings should go back to their own public cases, and remember to make peace with colleagues in the future."

"Yes, Master."

Now the bachelors in charge of the academy and the bachelors in the chamberlain are not on their side, and Shen Yichen still has the status of an official. This group of Hanlin completely lost the ability to "hold accountable", so they had to grit their teeth and swallow this grievance.

It's just that many people are still indignant after returning to their own public cases!

The rules set by the predecessors of the Hanlin Dynasty have now been trampled on by the eunuchs.

"Shen Yichen, you come with me."

On the other side, Qian Xili stopped Shen Yichen, who was about to return to his seat, with a little helplessness in his tone.

I was in the inner hall, and I had just instructed this kid to abide by the rules of the Hanlin Academy, and not to be young and vigorous.

Shen Yichen on the back foot aroused public indignation, and he also took out his official status to suppress a group of colleagues and seniors. In the past, the new champions of the past generations had been arrogant and arrogant, but there was really no such fearlessness.

I used to think that this kid was calm and cautious, and he didn't need to tell him more. Now it seems that he didn't show the young and frivolous side.

But then again, with Shen Yichen's achievements as the leader of the Sixth Yuan, the so-called frivolous standard in the world is just ordinary for him......

The two walked aside, and Qian Xili opened his mouth to admonish: "To the north, the teacher knows that you are not the one who causes trouble." But when you step into the official career, you should be humble and cautious, and don't fight for the moment, otherwise you will get into a lot of trouble if you lose more than you gain. ”

"That's what the teacher taught."

Shen Yichen will be tough with those Hanlin, but he will not argue with Qian Xili, and his attitude is very respectful and obedient, as if he was judging two people from his previous coercive state.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, what he did was not what everyone thought he was willing, but after he made a decision!

From beginning to end, Shen Yichen was not swayed by emotions.

Seeing that Shen Yichen didn't argue a word, he calmly accepted the teaching, which made Qian Xili a little surprised.

With such a steady performance, how can it still look a little young and frivolous?

If it weren't for Qian Xili's glance from afar and seeing the other Hanlin still having resentful expressions on their faces, he would have wondered if what he had just seen and heard was hallucinating.

Could it be that this son's emotions have been able to be retracted and released freely?

If this is the case, it is too amazing, how many people have been up and down for decades, and they can't be happy and angry!

"It's very gratifying for you to listen. At the same time, it is also important to understand that many times people are superior to others, and others must not. ”

Qian Xili's words can be regarded as a preventive injection for Shen Yichen, if he is too good, he will inevitably be targeted by jealousy, and it cannot be avoided.

This is the first time this has happened, but it will most likely not be the last. You can't change the world, you can only change yourself and slowly adapt to acceptance.

Qian Xili thought that Shen Yichen would also nod yes, but he didn't expect the other party to reply with a faint smile on his face: "If you are higher than others, everyone will look up to you, and the disciples will grasp the measure." ”

The moment he heard this, Qian Xili suddenly realized that words such as "humility" and "frivolity" could not simply summarize Shen Yichen's style.

This son's words and deeds are terrifying in the future!

Returning to the duty hall, Shen Yichen's effect of flipping the table was obvious, no matter what this group of Hanlin officials thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

For not daring to say this, Shen Yichen is very satisfied!

Shang Zhen watched Shen Yichen walk in, and thought about going over to comfort him. After all, on the first day of employment, this kind of thing happened, and the mood must not be good.

As a result, as soon as he got up from the official case, he saw Ni Qian, a bachelor's student, walking in the direction of Shen Yichen's official case, so he had to give up.

"Master Nehan."

Seeing Ni Qian staying next to him, Shen Yichen also quickly stood up and saluted him.

"Shen Xiuzhu, today is your first day of employment, so you should familiarize yourself with the environment before arranging specific affairs. However, at present, the orthodox seven-year Shuji Pavilion of the Hanlin Academy is disbanded, and it will take some time for the orthodox ten-year Jinshi Pavilion selection examination, and it is at a moment of shortage of manpower, so you have to take over the matter of revising the history in advance. ”

Shen Yichen's direct teaching of the post of Hanlin revision, the full name is historian revision, to put it bluntly, it is specialized in repairing books.

In fact, it is not only from the six grades, but also from the seven grades, from the seven grades of the review, and even in the future, there is no grade of the Jishi, the same is true of daily work.

Only when he is promoted to the post of reading and speaking at the sixth grade can he be regarded as breaking away from the historian and promoted to the rank of lecturer, and is qualified to lecture on the history of the scriptures for members of the royal family.

If you are lucky enough and the assigned prince can become a prince or even an emperor in the future, congratulations.

The imperial division born in the Qianlong Mansion is just around the corner!

If you are promoted to another level, you will be promoted from a lecturer to a scholar of Neihan, including a waiter from the fifth grade, a waiter to a lecturer, and a master of the fifth grade.

At this level, there is no need to try their luck anymore, and they have the opportunity to directly act as a scripture banquet speaker or a daily lecturer, enjoying the name of the emperor.

The Sutra Banquet Day Lecture is a kind of imperial chair system developed from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was divided into two courses: the Sutra Banquet and the Japanese Lecture.

The feast pays attention to the ceremony, the scene is very grand, not only the Hanlin officials are present, but also the honorable relatives, the cabinet, and the important ministers of the six ministries also participate, and it is held on the second, twelfth and twenty-second days of the lunar month every month.

The daily lectures focus on practicality, and all aspects are much more casual, just like daily teaching. Theoretically, except for the sutra day, every other day is a daily lecture time.

But in fact, it is very difficult to implement, let alone the emperor, even if you let an ordinary person go to class every day, he can't stand it.

So when you talk about it, it becomes a matter of fate.

If you want to be promoted to the level of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, it is not an easy thing to enjoy the reputation of the emperor, and you have to slowly improve your qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.

Look at Qian Xili, Zhou Xu and others, they are all Jinshi in the Yongle period, and it took decades to get to the level of Hanlin Bachelor.

After all, there are only a few official positions, if the old-timers don't move their nests, the younger generations of Hanlin are really not on the top.

Of course, there are exceptions, if you are knowledgeable enough to be famous, and your background is hard enough to be appreciated by the emperor. You can skip these restrictions on official status and act as a speaker on the feast day regardless of your rank.

Or if you perform well enough in the Hanlin Academy, you will also be elected by your superiors as a Japanese lecturer and get a chance to get close to the emperor.

Therefore, Shen Yichen took over the matter of revising the scriptures and history, which can be regarded as his own work, and sooner or later it will have to be so.

"But at the command of Maester Nehan."

Shen Yichen is picky about people, not picky about things, he is not a person who cheats and cheats, and he is very happy to accept it.

"Very good."

Ni Qian nodded, acknowledging Shen Yichen's attitude.

His Majesty ordered the revision of the "Huanyu Tongzhi" in the fifth year of orthodoxy, and the original batch of compilers and repairers of Hanlin originally planned to follow Zhu Mu's "Fang Yu Shenglan" of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was opposed by many colleagues. However, in the end, it was still imitated and completed in a similar book style. ”

"Last month, the book was presented to the Holy Emperor, but Long Yan was furious, thinking that the book was piled up, unclear, complicated, and inappropriate, so he ordered it to be rebuilt."

Now, more than a month later, the original compilers have dispersed and left, and no one has taken over the reconstruction. I don't know if Shen Xiu can take on this important task? ”

After Ni Qian finished speaking, Shen Yichen felt that something was wrong with the taste, how could this book repair task feel like a black cauldron.

The original book said that the good thing was to follow the first Song Dynasty, and it was said that it was difficult to listen to it, and it was estimated that it was directly copied in order to save trouble. And it can cause Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to be furious, pointing out such a lot of shortcomings, how rotten is it?

As for what to leave the museum, it is estimated that it was to save some face and not expose it, and there is a high probability that he will be punished or dismissed from the museum because the writing is too bad.

No one will take over in the follow-up, and I'm afraid no one will dare to take this pot, so I'll leave it to myself now, right?

But the question is, Ni Qian has already said it to this point, on the surface, he is asking, but in fact, he is assigning and assigning, does he have room for refusal?

"Master Neihan values the younger generation so much, so he has no choice but to be respectful and obey his fate, and he will do his best to repair this book!"

Since you don't have a choice, don't twist and pinch to look reluctant, just righteously next, and you can create a good image for yourself who is not afraid of difficulties.

Hearing that Shen Yichen readily agreed, there was a gloating look in the duty hall, and even many people turned their heads to each other.

"This kid really likes to show off, and he dares to take over "Huanyu Tongzhi", and he will have a good show to watch in the future."

"Yutang is still fair and moral after all, Ni Neihan saw through the identity of this son of eunuchs, so he arranged for him to revise "Huanyu Tongzhi".

"If you can't repair the book in the future, in the face of the wrath of the saint, I'm afraid this son will never be able to enjoy the emperor's grace again."

Shang Shi listened to the discussion of everyone around him, and couldn't help but get anxious in his heart, it seems that this matter is not simple, and Shen Yichen is very likely to do it badly.

So he stood up and said to Ni Qian: "Master Neihan, the junior is willing to assist Shen Xiu in compiling the Huanyu Tongzhi!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many people looking at Shang Zhen changed. Whether this kid doesn't know the difficulty of "Huanyu Tongzhi", or is he confused by the so-called brotherly righteousness, and he can't see Shen Yichen's eunuch identity clearly.

Do you dare to take the initiative to pick up the sinkhole of "Universal Chronicles"?

On the other side, after Shen Yichen heard it, his heart was full of emotion, he was really a good brother, he could share difficulties.

However, in this pit, Shen Yichen didn't want to jump in.

The reason is very simple, because in the entire Daming, only one person can fill in perfectly!

Just now, Shen Yichen remembered another name of "Huanyu Tongzhi" in later generations, called "Daming Unification Chronicles"!

What's more coincidental is that this book Shen Yichen has been restored, and he still has an impression of many of the contents in it. Those who laugh today may have an ugly expression in the future than crying.

It's just that before Shen Yichen refused, Ni Qian spoke: "Discuss the review, you have other important things to arrange, I'm afraid you can't use it for two purposes." ”

Ni Qian's words were obviously a polite refusal. Just when Shang Zhen was still about to fight for it, Shen Yichen also spoke: "Hongzai, I am enough to repair this book alone, don't worry." ”

What a big breath!

Hearing this, the whole court was not convinced!

Even if the "Universal Tongzhi" was not repaired, five Hanlin were sent to take over, and Shen Yichen thought that he could defeat five with one?

"Since Shen Xiusu is so confident, let's hurry up and go to the book hall to read. On the day of the completion of the book, if it passes the Holy Judgment, the official will determine that it will be awarded the highest class in the preliminary examination. ”

"Thank you, Lady Nehan."

Whether it is polite or not, for Shen Yichen, it is enough to have this statement.

After cleaning up the four treasures of the study room on the public case, Shen Yichen walked out of the duty hall with Ni Qian in the mentality of a group of fallen stones.

On the way to the book hall one after the other, Shen Yichen heard Ni Qian's warning.

"I hope this revision can make you understand that Hanlin is the mainstay of the literati, and you should do the right thing!"

This sentence made Shen Yichen understand that the designation to revise "Huanyu Tongzhi" was indeed deliberately done by Ni Qian, and he also judged himself to be a eunuch.

It is no wonder that from the beginning of the visit, he did not smile or say a word, I am afraid that he had already prepared to use this difficult problem to drive himself, a member of the eunuch party, out of the Hanlin Academy, so as not to defile this sacred place of literati.

"What is the right way and what is the wrong way?"

Since this is the case, Shen Yichen will not hide it, and he has never regarded the civil official Qingliu as the right way!

"I thought you would have a lost day, but now it seems that you are obsessed."

Ni Qian did regard Shen Yichen as a member of the eunuch party, but there was one thing that Shen Yichen thought wrong.

That is, Ni Qian did not think about expelling him from the Hanlin Academy, but planned to let Shen Yichen understand the text and return to the right path through the training of book repair.

After all, Sanyuan and Di are the pinnacle of literati, and they should not be given up lightly.

"The younger generation doesn't care about their deeds, right and wrong, and their descendants will comment on it."

"If you don't care about it, let the old man see if you can afford to be judged by future generations!"

In front of the book hall, Ni Qian stared at Shen Yichen with his eyes, he wanted to see through whether Shen Yichen was a hypocrite chasing fame and fortune, or a true countryman who disregarded personal honor and disgrace.

However, he couldn't see through Shen Yichen's heart, and he couldn't know the future direction on this young face.

"Let's go inside."

"Juniors say goodbye."

Shen Yichen arched his hand and walked into the book hall of the Hanlin Academy.

The so-called book hall, in popular terms, is a place to collect classics and books, for the officials of the Hanlin Academy to check and reference.

If Shen Yichen wants to revise "Huanyu Tongzhi", he naturally has to go to the book hall to see the original version first, and then find information to revise it, or even rewrite the whole book.

Not long after walking in, Shen Yichen was lost. Because the scale of this book hall is much larger than he imagined, the dense collection of books makes people dazzled, and he doesn't know how to start for a while.

At this time, an official came to Shen Yichen's side and said respectfully to him: "Champion Gong, the villain's name is Cao Xuannai's assigned follower, and I will obey you in the future." ”

Generally, Hanlin officials pass official documents, serve tea and pour water, etc., and it is impossible to do everything by themselves, so they will arrange a clerk for them to call, and Shen Yichen is naturally no exception.

Officials have no rank, and they belong to the stream. This means that there is not only a difference in official rank and status, but also a class gap, and he is not a person of the same class as the official scholar, so he behaves more humblely.

"You're here just in time, do you know where the "Universal Chronicles" was originally placed?"

As soon as he heard that Shen Yichen was looking for "Huanyu Tongzhi", the official named Cao Xuan's eyes widened, and he said with a face full of surprise: "Champion Gong, don't you want to repair this book?" ”

"That's right, it's a rework of this book."

"Then you're too unlucky."

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were also knowledgeable and became officials through the imperial examination, but most of them were only rough and had no fame.

So when he heard that Shen Yichen was going to repair "Huanyu Tongzhi", Cao Xuan subconsciously complained.

It's just that when the words came out, a cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, this is the champion of the Ming Dynasty to create the history of the imperial examination, if you blame it, your life will be at risk!

"Champion Gong, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he hopes to forgive his sins!"

Cao Xuan immediately knelt down, unable to stop trembling, and was extremely frightened in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yichen couldn't cry or laugh a little, is it a word?

What he didn't know was that in the ancient champion Hanlin, he did have the power of life and death for ordinary officials. As long as you want to rectify it, there are countless means of relationship, so that the other party can't survive.

This is the essence of the class gap in feudal society.

"Get up, haven't you heard that the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, I'm also the champion anyway, so I won't be so stingy."

"Yes, yes, the champion has the power of the prime minister!"

Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Cao Xuan got up from the ground and stood next to Shen Yichen respectfully, not daring to say more.

"You just said that you were unlucky, but let's talk about it in detail."

"The little ones don't dare."

"Say what you want!"

This sentence was a little louder, and Cao Xuan was scared again, and he hurriedly said: "Huanyu Tongzhi is not a conventional history book, but a geographical chronicle of the Ming Dynasty, covering various state capitals, mountains and rivers, and even temples, mansions, people, and so on. ”

"The content is extremely complex and requires a lot of knowledge. The five Hanlin who had previously revised this book were outraged by the saint because they did not write it well, and they were dismissed and investigated, and the major was exiled to Lingnan. ”

"It's too difficult to fix this book, and the champion is coming alone, so the small one will lose his words."

Hearing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Yichen's mouth: "Then you are right, I am indeed unlucky." ”

Shen Yichen had guessed before that the punishment of the few Hanlin who had provoked Long Yan who was furious by the previous book repair would definitely not be as simple as leaving the museum.

Now it seems that it is even more serious than he thought, and he was directly dismissed and exiled.

But then again, if you simply revise history, it is not very difficult for Hanlin officials.

Although in the eyes of the literati, except for the Four Books and the Five Classics, other books are of inferior grade, but compared with the real miscellaneous books, the status of historical books is still much higher, at least they will read and study on weekdays.

Like geography, characters, and customs, most of the scholars who concentrate on the imperial examination don't bother to take a second look. You suddenly arranged them to repair the geography magazine, isn't it difficult for a strong man, and if you can fix it, there will be ghosts.

Seeing that Shen Yichen seemed to be easier to speak, this official named Cao Xuan asked tremblingly: "Champion Gong, have you offended people?" ”

It stands to reason that on the first day of entry, the champion will generally not arrange a job, and even if it does, he will not let one person repair the book.

Obviously, the champion must have offended people, and now he wears small shoes!

"Almost all offended."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Xuan thought that Shen Yichen was joking, but later he learned that what Zhuangyuan Gong said was true, and he was completely offended on the first day of joining the Hanlin Academy......

Cao Xuan helped Shen Yichen find the original of "Huanyu Tongzhi", and he flipped through it a few times and found the problem.

Several Hanlin who repaired the book before did not know the geography of the Ming Dynasty, and the content was basically pieced together by searching for various materials, and in many places they didn't even understand the sentences.

With this quality, if you want to fool Zhu Qizhen, you probably treat the emperor as a fool.

However, for Shen Yichen, many things are not difficult. Take the most basic map of the Ming Dynasty as an example, the satellite positioning in later generations is accurate, and no one knows the distribution of mountains and rivers better than him.

After two glances, Shen Yichen threw the original aside and said to Cao Xuan, "Prepare to start work." ”

"And that's what begins?"

Cao Xuan was shocked, he had seen the tragic situation of the previous Hanlin officials who cultivated the "Huanyu Tongzhi", it was simply a hard button word by word, and he was tormented by repairing books every day.

"Or else? Grind ink! ”

Shen Yichen didn't talk nonsense, and directly planned to open the whole.

Revision of a book takes a long time, and the whole process is extremely boring, requiring extreme patience.

But once the book is completed and passed, the rewards are amazing. You can even skip the official evaluation directly and get the emperor or the official commendation and promotion on the spot.

Shen Yichen didn't plan to spend ten or eight years studying academics in the Hanlin Academy, and he would not miss it easily if he could seize any opportunity to climb up.

In the next few days, Shen Yichen could be said to have forgotten to sleep and eat, and as soon as he entered the Hanlin Academy every day, he went straight to the book hall, completely treating book repair as a kind of fun.

Because of the geographical chronicle of "Huanyu Tongzhi", he can have a deeper understanding of the territory, geography, economy, official system, etc. of the Ming Dynasty, and the benefits brought far exceed the revision of history.

Even his performance, in the eyes of other Hanlin officials, is almost like crazy, it is simply a broken can.

Did this kid predict that the three-year evaluation time would be insufficient, so he would work so hard to repair the book?

But the problem is that this state can last for a few days, don't finish the book in the end, and the person will be repaired......
