Academic Affairs

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing walked towards the room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

"The same goes for Mr. Zhang. What kind of book should I be revising? Why should I revise "Huidian"? How can he accomplish this kind of thing alone?"

Dai Yi was very puzzled, but he had no choice but to say, "But if Mr. Zhang said he wanted to repair it, but Your Majesty has such expectations, then if the repair fails, or if civil servants find fault, it will not be easy to solve the problem Already."

Xiao Jing followed Dai Yi quickly, still thinking, you are older than me, how come you are trotting faster than me?

"Then Eunuch Dai, are you going to remind Mr. Zhang and tell him not to be stubborn?"

After Xiao Jing finished speaking, Dai Yi suddenly stopped, almost staggering Xiao Jing.

Dai Yi glared at Xiao Jing and said, "It's okay if you didn't say it before, but now you've mentioned it to His Majesty. Your Majesty has such great expectations. Does this mean you won't cultivate if you don't cultivate?"

"That……"

Xiao Jing was also in a dilemma.

Even if you don't practice this, you will easily be picked on by civil servants and cause trouble. If you don't practice this, you won't be able to explain it to the emperor.

Is there such an errand?

Dai Yidao: "Your Majesty doesn't want to give the order? I want you to quickly find someone to send the congratulatory gift to the Lin family to congratulate the marriage of Zhang and Lin's family, so that Minister Lin will know your Majesty's concern for this marriage!"

Xiao Jing understood it instantly and saluted: "Let's go and ask Mr. Zhang how the book repair is progressing and whether we need the help of Bachelor Cheng or Lin Shilang. If there is any need for help, we will contact you secretly." Relevant people are waiting to help...is this what you mean?"

Dai Yi glanced at him and said, "You finally got it! Go!"

"Yes Yes."

Xiao Jing took the order and left, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

Do you still need to remind me of this kind of thing? It seems like you are the only one who understands that we are all fools, so why don’t we rely on me to help with this kind of thing?

…

…

The Imperial College, the dormitory built by Lin Han, is also outside the courtyard where his family lives.

Zhang Zhouzheng came to Lin Han to "propose marriage" with his special gift, which was a nearly complete copy of "The Great Ming Dynasty".

In fact, in the marriage regulations of this era, before the six rites were carried out, someone had already been sent to inquire about the marriage intention and other issues. From the time of acceptance, the process was basically going through. Of course, there were also cases of people who directly wanted to accept the marriage, and there were precedents of being kicked out by the woman. Many, in this era, marriage contracts are legally binding, precisely because many things cannot be changed once they are settled.

Accepting gifts is not an excessive gift, accepting gifts is.

Zhang Zhou's visit this time was actually to communicate with Lin Han in terms of etiquette. Originally, Zhang Zhou's elders should be responsible for this matter, or he could just send someone directly.

But after all, the daughter he married was the daughter of the minister's family. Even if she was born by a concubine, she was married as a concubine. Since it was an imperial marriage, Zhang Zhou felt it was necessary to go there in person.

"coming!"

Liu Shun saw Zhang Zhouyi walking into the alley outside and quickly called people over.

"Isn't this Assistant Liu?" Zhang Zhou still remembered this assistant from Guangye Hall.

When he first came to the Imperial College to report, it was this guy who set the threshold for Lin Han.

Now Liu Shun changed his previous arrogance and prejudice, nodded and bowed and said: "Mr. Lin has been waiting for a long time to offer wine. Please come with me."

Zhang Zhou is also an official now, but he is no longer an imperial supervisor, but a serious civil official. But if he has to argue, Zhang Zhou can use his first-grade military position to suppress others.

But using official positions to suppress people is not Zhang Zhou's style.

It seemed to be something beyond his own ability. In Zhang Zhou's opinion, it was too superficial.

…

…

Lin Han's yard is not big. He and his son live in one yard. Lin Han's wife and daughter, a woman who is responsible for taking care of the whole family, live in another yard. The men and women live separately.

Zhang Zhou was also thinking that maybe Lin Han was so old and had no need for personal relationships. Otherwise, why not live with his wife?

besides.

You presided over the construction of this dormitory, why don't you arrange a bigger and better yard for yourself? You set an example and are a bit mean to yourself.

Thinking about my new house...

"Servant Lin, please be polite." Zhang Zhou entered the small courtyard.

Lin Han and his son Lin Ting were both there, but Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen.

She is a woman who is getting married soon. Even if this small courtyard is too small to be able to do anything without leaving the front door, no matter how much she says, she still has to avoid going out to see people.

Lin Ting bowed his hands and saluted Zhang Zhou: "I have met Governor Zhang."

The military honors of the Ming Dynasty basically have to have a title to enter the governor's mansion, and they are all commensurate with their own titles. However, people like Zhang Zhou who do not have a title to enter the governor's mansion, whether they are the left and right governors, or the governor's fellow magistrates, or the governor's ministers,

They will all be called "Du Gong", but because it is easy to confuse Du Gong with Factory Gong, usually just call them "Du Gong".

"No, Brother Lin, just call me Bingkuan. I just have a false position and am still serving in the Hanlin Academy." Zhang Zhou smiled.

Lin Han said: "Li Zhan, you have nothing to do here, please step back first."

"yes."

Just as Lin Ting was about to go out, Zhang Zhou also greeted the people outside and brought in some gifts from Nacai. There were large and small boxes of things, arranged as if they were a grand gift.

The most conspicuous thing among them is a thick stack of sealed books.

Although Lin Han does not live a very prosperous life, he does not seem to value money or anything else. This is also a common problem among rotten scholars. He envies the good life of those who are rich and powerful, while at the same time he still has to keep a straight face.

It makes people think that he is content with poverty.

"Today is just a show of gratitude. Why did you bring so many things? You didn't treat my daughter poorly, it was me who treated her poorly!"

Lin Han was still very unhappy about the fact that his daughter could only marry someone else as a concubine.

Lin Han could have directly rejected the Empress Dowager Zhou, but that would be equivalent to rejecting the emperor. With his aloofness and pride, he could have accepted the idea of ​​becoming an official in Nanjing.

But after careful consideration, especially since the emperor had high hopes for him and wanted him to come and accumulate some prestige in the Confucian world on behalf of Zhang Zhou, Lin Han finally agreed.

Zhang Zhou said: "Mr. Lin, has your marriage brought you any trouble?"

Lin Han sighed: "With your reputation, you could have stood out after more than ten years in the Hanlin Academy. I can only say that it is too early for you to stand out now. Who among your colleagues in the court will recognize you? I also feel that

After getting to know you, you are not bad at heart, and everything you do is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty has high expectations for you. After all, you are from Beiyong... I can only do it with reluctance."

Zhang Zhou wanted to say that this was a beautiful statement.

Co-author Mr. Lin, have you never considered your future career?

Marrying me will basically guarantee that you will become the Minister of the Northern Sixth Ministry, and you can even be promoted to a coveted position like the Minister of Etiquette. Are you talking to me here for my own good?

Even if I am your son-in-law, I will still be treated the same way as others should treat me.

In terms of face, Zhang Zhou couldn't ridicule Lin Han, so he cupped his hands and said: "I would like to thank Mr. Lin for your kindness. Today I brought a book specially, and I would like to ask Mr. Lin to read it in detail."

"A book?"

Lin Han also frowned when he heard this.

He originally wanted to say, even if you are the top scholar, why should you study at a young age?

But thinking about it again, who says young people can’t study?

Zhang Zhou went over in person, took out the basic outline and handed it to Lin Han.

Lin Hanben was also careless and didn't think this was an important book. But when he flipped through the first book and saw the outline inside, he stood up and said: "This is..."

"This is the table of contents of the revised version of "Zhu Si Zhi Zhang", which involves many additions and changes. As for the specific volumes, they are in the stack of books below. There are also outlines of books such as "Da Ming Law" below. Please refer to them for details."

Zhang Zhou's tone was calm.

Lin Han did not continue reading. He raised his head and frowned and said, "Bingkuan, where did you get this book? Did the Hanlin Academy ask you to bring it out?"

Lin Han serves as the imperial wine minister and the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although the title of right minister of the Ministry of Rites is just a false title, he is also very clear about the affairs in the Hanlin Academy. Naturally, he knows what people in the Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty are most concerned about since the ten years of Hongzhi.

That is to repair the "Da Ming Huidian".

He didn't think Zhang Zhou had the strength to complete it on his own.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I just looked through the revised parts in the Hanlin Academy, and I didn't look at some of them. The rest were compiled by me myself. What they involve are all written laws, rules, etc., and they are not

It involves subjective assumptions, and I'm afraid there must be some unknowns in it, so I can only ask Mr. Lin to help me with the details."

"you alone?"

Lin Han was also speechless.

There are so many people in the Ming Dynasty who have been working hard for two years, but they still haven't figured out the way yet, but you just get in right away?

"Bring it here, I'll take a look."

From Lin Han's point of view, since Zhang Zhou you have boasted a lot, I have to keep a close eye on you.

Even if it's just the energy to kill you, I think it's necessary.
