Chapter 182: Shelter from the limelight
Zhao Zhen consulted with the three scholars, and the will was soon issued to the Hanlin Academy.
Hearing the news that Wei Chen was appointed as the secretary of the Meridian Extension, colleagues in the Hanlin Academy came to congratulate one after another.
Facing Daohe's colleagues, Wei Chen just smiled and waved his hand: "It's just an extra assignment, and it's not an official promotion, why is it happy?" β
Wei Chen's words are right, serving as a postponement scrivener is one more assignment, not an increase in the rank of knight, after Wei Chen serves as an exhibition scrivener, the official position is still Hanlin revision, and there will be no promotion in rank.
However, the Hanlin people are obviously all understanding people, knowing that Wei Chen is just being humble, and one of them said with a smile at the moment: "Wei Xiushu doesn't want to wait for me, as an exhibition officer, before entering the direct palace, this is ten times more joyful than being promoted to the rank of official!" β
The one who spoke was Wei Chen's precursor when he reported, Hanlin Xiu Lu Ning, and he was also one of Wei Chen's colleagues who had a good relationship in the Hanlin Academy.
"Jing Yanguan serves on the near side of the Son of Heaven, and he has the holy scroll on his body, and his progress is just around the corner!"
Li Zuochang and Cai Xuan, the two of them and Wei Chen's first family of Bangyan and Tanhua, also came together, and their tones were full of envy for Wei Chen.
Obviously, everyone entered the Hanlin Academy together, and Wei Chen became a Jingyan official in the blink of an eye, and before entering the Zhiyu, he would not spend too many days in the review hall in the future.
As for them, they can only continue to bury their heads in the pile of old papers to revise history and write books, to be honest, the gap in their hearts is not ordinarily big.
There is a criterion in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the local officials are not as good as the Beijing officials, the Beijing officials are not as good as the Hanlin officials, and the Hanlin officials are not as good as the Jingyan officials who can directly face the saints.
In the final analysis, the closer you are to the Son of Heaven, the greater your chances of promotion and power.
After Wei Chen became the official of the Extension Scripture, there was no change in his rank, but his actual status was very different from when he was only a Hanlin cultivator before.
In such an opportunity, how can Li Zuochang and Cai Xuan not be hot.
But what about eye heat?
Li Zuochang and Cai Xuan sighed almost at the same time, silently withdrew from the crowd of Daohe, and returned to the library pavilion.
After everyone dispersed, Sheng Changbai found Wei Chen, smiled and arched his hand: "Xiaguan is here to congratulate Wei Xiu, when you enter the Zhida in the future, if you have the opportunity, don't forget to mention Xiaguan in front of the Son of Heaven." β
"Zecheng, even you are here to entertain me!"
Wei Chen glanced at Sheng Changbai angrily, and then asked with a little doubt: "By the way, didn't you follow Bachelor Luo to class in the academy, why did you come to the review hall today?" β
It's no wonder that Wei Chen is curious, Sheng Changbai and Wang Yaochen, these Shuji scholars are only apprentices of Hanlin, and they have no specific official positions, they generally follow the teaching and learning classes elsewhere, and occasionally come to the review hall under the leadership of the teaching to do chores for the formal Hanlin students and increase their practical experience.
"It was Master Luo who called me." Sheng Changbai smiled slightly, and took out a letterhead from his sleeve: "Take a look for yourself." β
Wei Chen took it and found that it turned out to be an invitation, and the person who posted it was Luo Hongxian, who was responsible for teaching Sheng Changbai and Wang Yaochen, the attendants of the scholars.
The content of the invitation is also simple, that is, to invite Wei Chen to go to Fan Lou for a banquet the day after tomorrow.
Wei Chen was secretly surprised in his heart.
You must know that the bachelor of the chamberlain is from the official position of the fifth grade, and there are only two in the Hanlin Academy, and there is only one person in charge of the academy, Liu Tingxi, who is above these two bachelors in the entire Hanlin Academy.
Unexpectedly, now even such a character will personally post to invite himself.
It wasn't until he saw this invitation that Wei Chen really felt something, it seems that he is really hot after serving as an official of Jingyan this time.
Looking back on his experience in the past few months, first six yuan and the first, then the holy decree to give marriage, and then to be elected as the official of Jingyan today, Wei Chen couldn't help but think of two words.
Flowers are brocade, fire cooking oil!
These two are good words, but behind them, there are also huge disasters hidden.
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, and the invitation card in his hand seemed to become a little hot.
β¦β¦
In just half a day, the news that Wei Chen had been awarded the title of Yanguan spread throughout the government and the opposition, not only his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, but also Wei Chen's fellow villagers in Beijing in the same year and his fellow villagers also became active, vying to visit Wei Chen.
However, when Wei Chen returned to the mansion after releasing the government, he found that the front of his house was empty, and there were no guests.
Wei Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly summoned Yuan An and asked, "Didn't anyone come to visit today?" β
Yuan An replied respectfully: "Earlier, there were a lot of carriage soft sedan chairs, all of them were officials who were on errand in various yamen, and they wanted to ask to see the young master, but they were all sent away by Mr. Zhuang. β
"There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!"
Wei Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and stepped into the courtyard, but seeing Zhuang Jun wearing a loose Confucian robe and resting under the pine trees in the courtyard, Wei Chen hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said deeply: "Disciple to meet the teacher." β
γ
"Coming back?" Zhuang Jun opened his sleepy eyes when he heard the sound, looked at Wei Chen, and said with a smile: "I heard that you were given the official title of Jingyan? β
Wei Chen said: "The holy grace is so profound that the disciple only feels sincere and fearful, and is about to ask the teacher. β
"It's not bad to know that it's scared."
Zhuang Jun nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are fifteen years old, six yuan and first, and you have been awarded the title of Jingyan official in just one month, which is the importance of the imperial court to you, and it is also the grace of Your Majesty to you."
However, if you are promoted too quickly, you will be jealous, and at this time, you should especially not publicize it. That's why I found an excuse to send all the people who congratulate Daohe away for you, otherwise there will be a lot of noise and a lot of traffic, and the door will be like a market, and you will show it to others, how should you feel? β
Wei Chen hurriedly bowed his head and was taught: "What the teacher taught is that the disciple is about to thank the teacher for blocking these troubles for the disciple. β
"What are you talking about, you are the only disciple in my life, who do I think about if I don't think about you?"
Zhuang Jun smiled and waved his hand, thought for a moment and said: "Isn't it possible for your Hanlin Academy to rest for five days a month, don't go to the Hanlin Academy to sit in the government these days, take a leave of absence from your Shangguan, and wait until the limelight passes and the dust settles, and it is not too late to go back." β
Wei Chen nodded approvingly: "What the teacher said is that the disciple will go to the head of the academy early tomorrow morning to take leave. β
Seeing that Wei Chen was as good as a stream, Zhuang Jun was also quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "I put pen to paper in the first half of my life, and lectured in the second half of my life, in fact, these things in the officialdom are only half-understood. β
Wei Chen hurriedly nodded yes.
Zhuang Jun is right, Sheng Hong has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he can climb from a top three jinshi to today's status, of course, with the support of the Wang family, but Sheng Hong's own long-sleeved and skillful ability is the key.
Such an old oilman in officialdom, whether it is experience or means, has many things worth learning from Wei Chen, a newcomer to officialdom.
Just take advantage of the days off to visit the Sheng family, so that you can not only learn the way of being an official from Sheng Hong, but also take this opportunity to meet your fiancΓ©e.
It's pitiful.
Since Wei Chen and the Sheng family got married, in order to prevent Rulan and Minglan from coming into contact with foreign men again, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu did not let them go to the home school to attend classes.
So much so that Wei Chen and his fiancΓ©e have met less often than before they got married, this lovesickness is so hard!
