Chapter 375: Old Scholar of Hanlin Academy
As the place where the emperor resides and summons ministers, Wuyingdian has always had a high status, and the people in the palace respect it, but there are countless people who yearn for it.
The eunuchs, concubines, and even guards and officials in the palace carefully peeked at everything in the Wuying Palace, and from the moment Feng Mu and everyone walked in, the news spread far and wide.
The Hanlin Academy was one of the most important places in the Ming Empire, where it concentrated the elite of Ming intellectuals, and these scholars had a superior social status. Therefore, the Hanlin Academy became a place of cultivation and hope, and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy were responsible for repairing books and writing history, drafting edicts, serving for members of the royal family, and serving as examiners for imperial examinations.
It is precisely because of its noble status that it is a stepping stone to become an old minister and even a local official, and Yang Tinghe is the best person who came out of it. Entering the Hanlin and becoming a Shujishi is equivalent to stepping into the cabinet with half a foot.
The people of Hanlin attach great importance to the actions of Feng Mu and others in front of the Wuying Palace, and they continue to get relevant news from the ears of the palace maids and eunuchs, and then make their own judgments, and then decide on the issue of standing in line in the future.
But there are a few people who are unmoved, who think about the longer term, and among them, there is an old man with gray hair, who is deaf to external actions.
At the same time, Zhang Xuan, who was unwilling to take the imperial examination, was still preparing for the next imperial examination, and he was not qualified to enter the Hanlin Academy at the moment, so he naturally did not know about the wind and grass in the Hanlin Academy. Today's Zhang Xuan only understands one thing, that is, he has made a desperate bet, and if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam this time, he will be insulated from his career from now on.
After many years of being admitted to the Jinshi, he has become Xia Yan in the military department, and he has more political capital, but he has not taken any action, and he has no intention of listening to any news. He now holds a very low official position. People are soft-spoken, and what is placed in front of him can only be done silently.
Xia Yan knew his talents, and he was also waiting for an opportunity, he believed that if he accumulated a lot, he would be able to get the attention of those big names in the imperial court. Then get the corresponding status.
And Yan Song, who served as an attendant in the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, was beyond the reach of the whip, and he could be described as a blind man touching an elephant for the movement of the capital, and he didn't know why.
Although he had various sources, there were big discrepancies in these sources, and there were different theories, and later, Yan Song did not tire of it. Don't believe those rumors anymore.
He didn't know whether the new emperor had ascended the throne, and he didn't know whether the news of the new emperor was true or not, Yan Song looked in the direction of the capital, and couldn't help but sigh: Yang Tinghe, you old fox, it's really scary.
Yan Song knew that with Yang Tinghe and one day in the court, there would never be a day for him to emerge. He and Yang Tinghe only met a few times, and Yang Tinghe was busy with official business. It stands to reason that he will not be remembered as a small person.
But Yang Tinghe remembered him, and said that he was on the blacklist, in Yang Tinghe's opinion, this person seems to be a loyal traitor, and he can't be trusted, if he is allowed to hold power. It is the misfortune of the world.
Therefore, Yang Tinghe suppressed Yan Song, and Yan Song went to Nanjing, which seemed to be promoted, but in fact he was exiled. You must know that Nanjing has no real power, staying there can only be pension, and the ambitions in the career are destined to be buried. Yan Song was unwilling to live a mediocre life like this, but he had no more choices, during this period, he could only entrench like a tiger, waiting for the moment when he came out of the mountain.
The old man in the Hanlin Courtyard was already old and not human, his back had been lying down, and he even had some difficulty speaking.
But it was such an old man, but the officials did not let him return to his hometown, because this person was really special, because he had already experienced the five dynasties of heaven, in other words, when he was in Yingzong Zhu Qi Town, he was already in the Hanlin Academy.
This person witnessed the capture of Zhu Qizhen's Tumubao by the Mongols, witnessed his grievances in Nangong, and witnessed his re-enthronement in the palace.
As a friend of Zhu Qizhen, he didn't even fly to the sky, which made many people feel incomprehensible, in Zhu Qizhen's later years, he specially decreed, saying that this old man could stay in Hanlin Courtyard for the rest of his life, as long as he didn't want to leave, Hanlin Courtyard was his home.
The old man plans to read books for the rest of his life, and he ignores the open and secret battles in the court, such a figure, existing in the Hanlin Academy, makes the inmath curious, but no one dares to disturb him.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen attached great importance to this old man, and although Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty paid attention to this person, he did not trouble him, because this person was only studying scriptures and history in the Hanlin Academy, and had no contact with any officials in the imperial court.
After Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he went to the Hanlin Academy many times to see him, it stands to reason that the emperor is condescending to the noble, and this person will sell some face to the emperor no matter how he knows how to lift, but the person in the Hanlin Academy seems to be an exception. Zhu Jianshen went several times, but the person was closed and disappeared.
After Zhu Jianshen's death, Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne, this emperor suffered too much in his childhood, so he was very polite to people and more patient than his father.
Zhu Youzhu went back and forth more than ten times, but still did not see the person in the Hanlin Academy, it is rumored that the person's knowledge is the most profound in the world, and his wisdom has been able to defy the sky, if he gets his assistance, the world will be peaceful, and the four Yi will surrender.
But Zhu Youzhi did not wait for the day when the old man came out, and died, after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he no longer used common sense, but secretly let the master of Ouchi fly in with him from the wall.
But as soon as Zhu Houzhao flew onto the wall, he was firmly restrained by an incomparable true qi. Zhu Houzhao was fixed in the air, and the bodies of those big masters were volleyed in the air, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
It turned out that this quiet old man was a top master in the world. Zhu Houzhao had eaten a few closed-door soups, and knew that this old man's temper was stinky and hard, so he was no longer reluctant, and let him study in the Hanlin Academy, and never thought about disturbing him again.
Since then, the small room in the Hanlin Courtyard has become a forbidden place for the entire Forbidden City, from the nobles of the palace to the palace maids, no one dares to disturb the old man.
Even the palace maid delivered food, poured the toilet, and delivered clothes, all of which were placed far away from the door, although this old man stayed in the capital, he was like a hermit in the mountains.
The old man ignored the noise of the Hanlin Courtyard, he touched his gray beard that had extended to his thighs, and continued to read the book in his hand.
That book is the "Tao Te Ching", the old man has read it no less than thirty times, and every time he reads it, he has a new experience, and the more he comes later, the more he feels that this book contains all the laws of the world.
He had read almost all the books in the Hanlin Academy, and the words in these books were all recorded in his mind. He had never thought of cultivating martial arts, and no one had anyone to guide him.
However, he stumbled upon a book called "The Book of Enlightenment", and he was curious, so he flipped through it and memorized the method of exercising the exercises in it.
This person is well-read, and he can understand it thoroughly, and he has unconsciously cultivated a peerless technique.
However, looking at the whole world, the world only knows that there is a peerless master like the stupid god He Huan, but no one knows that there is such an anti-heaven existence in the Hanlin Academy.
After reading the Tao Te Ching, the old man sighed slightly, pinched his fingers in his hand, and muttered: "The world has come to an eventful time again." ”
After speaking, the book in his hand flew out of his hand and was inserted into the bookshelf impartially. The old man's fingers were slightly bent, and a strong suction force was formed, and another book on the bookshelf flew out of the bookshelf and fell into his hand. (To be continued.) )
