Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Two The Imperial College

Since he made up his mind to only watch the show, Qian Yuan rarely started working seriously, and he was not late or left early every day, and was honest and peaceful, which made Yuan Wei no excuses to make trouble for him.

In addition to working in Hanlin Academy, Qian Yuan was almost like a woman in a boudoir and did not go out of the door. He did not go anywhere, either in Xu Mansion, Yan Mansion, or Prince Yu Mansion, so he could save trouble.

However, Qian Yuan still didn't escape. At least Gao Gong summoned him, he had to go. This old man was quite sloppy, and Qian Yuan was really afraid that this guy would wear his shoes in the future.

Gao Gong is a little bit like Xu Wei. He has a hard mouth and refuses to bow his head. Qian Yuan directed Zhang San to put the dishes he brought to the table, and the old man was still talking coldly.

"Brother Gangsheng, please."

"Brother Suqing, please."

Gao Gong and Qian Zheng gave in back and forth twice before sitting down. Qian Yuan next to him was speechless, but it was really troublesome. Qian Zheng was Gao Gong's senior on the road to the imperial examination, but now he is in the same party, Gao Gong's status is much higher than that of Qian Zheng.

Today Qian Yuan specially explained that most of the dishes he sent were spicy, Gao Gong liked to eat spicy food, uh, and was not afraid of getting angry.

After drinking for three rounds, Gao Gong glanced at Qian Yuan, "It is said that he has been quite peaceful during this period?"

"Now the court is in a mess, so how dare I run around?" Qian Yuan smiled bitterly: "That's it, I almost got plotted against Yan Donglou a few days ago."

Qian Zheng explained on the side and added: "Xu Wenchang and Zhan Cai are friends of life and death."

"I have heard of it, even Lu Wenfu praised it." Gao Gong nodded and asked again: "But even the Prince Yu's Mansion refused to go to. Your Highness said it several times."

"Let's get through this period first." Qian Yuan raised his hand and begged for mercy, "The identity of junior is really sensitive."

"I won't call you younger generations in the future. I and my brother Gangsheng are like-minded and have similar ages."

"My younger brother... I'm really flattered..." Qian Yuan's cheeks moved. It didn't sound like a good sign.

Qian Zheng gave him a warning look and then pulled the topic apart. What is most talked about in the court now is of course the dispute over the incoming Imperial College priests was the strife caused by the incoming Imperial College. No one even cared about the Beijing Chamber... Of course, this is mainly because Li Mo was busy wiping his shit.

Wu Zhenxiang really had a relationship with Li Mo. Li Mo was exiled from Beijing to serve as the magistrate of Ningguo Mansion. His niece married the son of his colleague. Wu Zhenxiang was the nephew of his niece, and he stabbed Li Mo from behind at a critical moment... It is said that Li Mo's eyes were red when he went to court these days, not crying, but being angry.

Now there are many public opinion in the court, and it is said that Ouning is more important than divination. Ouning is Li Mo's hometown.

Yan Song and Xia Yan fought to the death. It was not like Li Mo who had not yet taken office. He called out a hundred responses in the court and gave courtesy.

According to the rules, if Shen Kun resigns, he should take over the position of deputy Dong Fen, or his Majesty, but Li Mo is blocking the way... Tsk tsk, it was Li Mo's fellow townsman who exposed Shen Kun's murder case, and Li Mo's old subordinate who wrote a letter to impeach Dong Fen was Li Mo's old subordinate. In-laws, who else could he do it?

The most important thing is that the Nanjing Imperial College Priest has fallen into Li Mo's hands. Lin Tingji is a fellow townsman of Li Mo. For this position, Li Mo swept the cabinet and was in a very popular way.

Qian Yuan was thinking about it, and Gao Gong recalled on the other side: "Speaking of this, Li Shiyan also served as the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing. What year did it happen?"

Qian Zheng coughed twice, and seeing that his nephew was still in a daze, he coughed twice again.

Qian Yuan then came to his senses and responded without hesitation: "In the 24th year of Jiajing, Li Shiyan was promoted to the Minister of Taichang Temple in Nanjing and was also the Supervisor of the Imperial College in Nanjing. In the 26th year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. In the 27th year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and later to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In the 29th year of Jiajing, His Majesty was appointed to be promoted to the Heavenly Office of the Ministry of Personnel."

"I'm familiar with my resume." Gao Gong was a little surprised.

"Since entering Beijing, Li Shiyan has always disliked her nephew, so how dare she not memorize her resume?" Qian Yuan smiled and said, "This dynasty's Imperial College Priest, and since Tianshun, he has been one of the nine great ministers, but he has no real power... However, Fenyi, Huating and Yuyao have all held this position."

In the fourth year of Jiajing, Yan Song was promoted to the Imperial College for the Imperial College and gradually gained favor from Emperor Jiajing. After a few years, he jumped to the Minister of Rites in Nanjing. In a few years, he was directly summoned to Beijing as Minister of Rites and Bachelor of Hanlin.

Xu Jie was promoted to the Imperial College Priest in the 21st year of Jiajing. Two years later, he jumped to the Ministry of Rites as Minister of Justice. He was later transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, and was also a Hanlin scholar, in charge of the court, and was promoted to the Minister of Rites.

Even Lu Ben served as the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing in the 27th year of Jiajing. He was soon promoted to the Minister of Rites and to the Bachelor of Hanlin.

Qian Yuan told the story as if he had known it, and Gao Gong and Qian Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Although the position of Imperial College Priests does not have real power, it is very important because it is the fastest way for officials from Hanlin origin.

Generally speaking, after Hanlin officials have completed their qualifications, they will transfer to the Zhanshi Mansion and continue to work for a few more years. After that, they will have the opportunity to transfer to the six ministries, and the speed is already very fast.

But if you could take the position of the Imperial College, the speed would be even faster. Yan Song, Xu Jie, Lu Ben, and Li Mo, and later Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng all went to the sky in one step, directly joined the six ministries as the Minister of Rites, and even the Minister of Rites, and were also the Hanlin Bachelor. This was a sign of entering the cabinet.

This is also the key to the public opinion in the court now accuses Li Mo. He has already snatched the Nanjing Imperial College, but he even snatched the Beijing Imperial College... What do you Li Mo want to do?

This is a bright and ruthless thing to gather the party, which is even more cruel than Yan Song back then.

Until this time, Qian Yuan was shocked and suddenly looked up at Gao Gong, then looked at Qian Zheng... Gao Gong was attracted by the position of the Imperial College Priest.

No wonder I asked Li Mo first, because Li Mo was the Minister of Taichang Temple like Gao Gong, and was also in charge of the Imperial College as the Minister of Taichang Temple.

"No need to hide it. Qian Zhancai is very thoughtful, has good intentions and is good at decisive, and has a lot of friendship with Xu and Yan's mansions." Gao Gong asked directly: "Tell me, how much does it cost to make a sacrifice for me?"

Seeing that Qian Yuan was silent, Gao Gong continued: "Dong Fen and I were in the same year as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Now that the trouble is so big, he may not be able to serve as the throne."

Qian Yuan nodded slightly, and he also agreed with this judgment. If Yan Song successfully captured Li Mo, he would probably not let Dong Fensheng offer sacrifices, and Emperor Jiajing would probably summon him directly to the six ministries.

Now in the court, public opinion is very unfavorable to Li Mo, and Dong Fen is very responsible. He met Li Mo in the Hanlin Academy a few days ago and was very respectful.

After a while of silence, Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Shi is one step late."

"What?"

"Dong Fen showed his face in front of His Majesty and borrowed Xu Wenchang's power. My nephew has looked for Yan Donglou." Qian Yuan spread his hands and said, "Teacher Pingquan Gong has been sentenced to more than a year."

Gao Gong turned his head and looked at Qian Zheng, who looked confused and obviously didn't know.

"Two reasons." Qian Yuan raised his index finger, "First, around the Imperial College, the political struggle between the court was fierce. The censor Kedao instigated someone to write a letter to impeach him. Shi Shu had a special identity and was not easy to get involved.

Unless it is your Majesty’s choice, it is hard to say how the outsiders will suspect it. You must know that Uncle Shi has been in Fenyi and Huating in the past few years..."

Gao Gong nodded after a while in silence. It was true. In the memorial of Yang Jisheng impeachment of Yan Song a few years ago, the sentence "May I ask the two kings of Yujing" caused great trouble to the Yu Mansion.

"What about the second reason?"

Qian Yuan sighed, "As the Imperial College Priest, one must be a respected senior Hanlin. Once Shen Kun left, he was below the Hanlin Bachelor's degree. Teacher Pingquan Gong is really the best candidate.

If you don’t propose this candidate to Yan Donglou, your nephew is afraid that Huating will recommend Pingquan Gong to restore the Imperial College to the sacrificial tribute."

This reason made Gao Gong speechless.

Like Gao Gong, Qian Yuan also needs to be impartial between Yan Song and Xu Jie and marry the Xu Mansion. If he wants to be treated as a clinging to Huating, Chen Yiqin and others, he must show his attitude.

Gao Gong smiled bitterly. He had been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years before he was elected as a lecturer in the Prince Yu Mansion. He was proud of his own talent, but he still held a free position so he had long focused on the best springboard for the Imperial College Priest.

"Wait a little longer." Qian Zheng said with difficulty, "Pingquan Gong is not happy with his career..."

Qian Yuan smacked his lips, and didn't know how Lu Shusheng knew that his son-in-law would react to this comment.

Gao Gong raised his wine glass and drank it all, "I have been waiting for sixteen years, and I don't care about waiting for two more years... Besides, Yan Fenyi may not be able to succeed."

But on this day, things were already foregone conclusion, and Qian Yuan was the only outsider who knew the inside story except Yan Dang.
