My father and brother either go to the Yamen or go to the hospital, and my brother can only hang out at home with his friends.

Perhaps because his chapter was so well written, Li Dongyang didn't even give him any assignments, so he played happily until the evening without doing any homework.

Until Wang Hua came back from the office in the evening and brought him the news that he could go to the Hanlin Academy to study in the future, my brother was shocked.

What is the Hanlin Academy? It is the emperor's private advisory body.

Regardless of the fact that the official ranks and salaries of Hanlin Academy officials are not high, in fact, there is a popular saying in the government and the public today that "non-officials will not enter the Hanlin Academy, and non-officials will not enter the cabinet."

This means that in recent decades, the cabinet has been monopolized by Hanlin scholars with scholarly backgrounds. If you are from a low background or have not crossed paths with your seniors in the Hanlin Academy, you will not be able to take any further steps in the future!

The development of the cabinet system at this point is completely different from Zhang Jiuling's proposal of "not to mention prefectures and counties, not to plan for Taiwan Province" proposed by Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty.

It is conceivable that since this "hidden rule" gradually became a regular rule, some of the cabinet members in the imperial court who are responsible for formulating government policies have no experience as local officials.

They often don't know how to deal with local affairs, nor what kind of life the local people are living. They even don't leave the capital for decades to make announcements. They only need to start from the Hanlin Academy and pass the assessments step by step, and then they can move up step by step.

.

In fact, this is also related to the reason why the cabinet was first formed. Zhu Yuanzhang did not want a prime minister in the court who could speak more effectively than him, so he abolished the prime minister system.

As a result, the later emperor felt that it was inconvenient not to have a prime minister, so he organized a team to recruit a few people to do the work of the prime minister. These officials were of low rank and had no real power. They were responsible for providing advice and had no right to make decisions.

Therefore, the selection of cabinet members does not depend on official rank or experience as a local official. They just need to be obedient and willing to work.

But now, it has been discovered that the cabinet is no longer just responsible for hard work, and the chief minister has regained a certain amount of power to a certain extent.

So now you can take a look at the people in the court who can influence the world's decisions——

On the one hand, there is the emperor who has rarely left the palace.

On the one hand, there is the cabinet that has basically never left the capital.

There are also invisible and domineering eunuchs in the middle.

It is often difficult to say or do something underneath.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was a hell-level difficulty dungeon where even the officials were often sent to prison and cabinet members were asked to find ways to get it.

Even if the emperor wants to cut you off without giving an order to save face, you will not be able to get out of the prison alive.

It is no wonder that the cabinet members who came from the Hanlin Academy help each other and only recommend their own cabinet members to ensure that they can unite to protect themselves in the future.

Hanlin Academy, the hometown of Mr. Ge!

As mentioned earlier, when a relative of a member of the Hanlin Academy dies, he or she must bring a large amount of money to ask the elders to write an epitaph. This shows that the Hanlin officials are as close as one family!

I didn’t expect that I could go to the National Library to read books.

Wang Hua and the others usually compile books at the Hanlin Academy, and occasionally they are responsible for restoring and repairing ancient books. They do all book-related work.

Brother asked: "Then when can I go?" After asking, he added, "Can I go later every morning? I won't set off with you!"

Wang Hua was happy and asked, "Why don't you set off with me?"

Brother's eyes rolled, and he quickly found a suitable excuse: "If you want to go to court, you can't take me with you! It's better to wait until you are done with your work, and I will go directly to the Hanlin Academy to report!"

Wang Hua smiled and said: "His Majesty will give you a small token in two days, just take it yourself."

No matter what, it is a rare honor for me to go to the Hanlin Academy to study. Although it seems that there are prodigies everywhere in the court, in fact, there may not be one in ten or eight years.

My brother was also born very coincidentally, specifically on the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Hongzhi.

It is difficult not to guess that Zhu Youtang had the intention to turn him into a representative "sexual" prodigy in the Hongzhi Year.

Wang Hua ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and had two drinks with Mr. Wang.

It was my brother who kept saying "drink less, drink less" and "drink less and live to ninety-nine", which annoyed the father and son so much that they switched to tea!

Ever since I got the news that I will own the National Library, my brother has been looking forward to getting his library card every day.

Zhu Youtang personally issued the order, which was very efficient. He quickly sent his brother's pass, and the decree was sent from the cabinet to the Hanlin Academy in a serious manner.

What surprises my brother even more is that not only can he go to the Hanlin Academy to borrow books and read them, but he can also receive a study subsidy from the imperial court, called Shilin Cuisine. It is a publicly funded study in the Ming Dynasty!

This made my brother so proud that he went to tell his grandmother that he could earn money by studying! Who can do this at the age of three? Of course he is the king of three years old!

Seeing her grandson's happiness, Old Mrs. Cen naturally beamed, and together with Mrs. Zhao, she cut a bunch of fancy summer shirts for him. It was almost summer, and the spring shirts were too thick, so it was time to change into light and cool summer shirts.

!

Although my brother was hesitant to talk about the pile of fabrics that his mother and his grandmother had chosen, he finally decided not to make Ms. Zhao and the others unhappy over such a trivial matter, and continued to let them put a bunch of festive fabrics on himself.

Chang'an Street is very convenient for going to the official offices of the Hanlin Academy. Other Hanlin officials occasionally bring their sons to serve there so that they can study. But it is very rare for a brother like me to come to study with an imperial token.

.

As soon as the brother arrived, many young officials stopped what they were doing and gathered around him to watch.

It's like watching a monkey.

It was also when I arrived at the Hanlin Academy that I learned that Zhu Youtang not only opened the National Library, but also ordered a copy of his chapter to be circulated to the Hanlin officials, saying that it could be read with reference to Qiu Shangshu's historical treatise.

Doesn’t this make Brother’s arrival attract more attention?

This is a three-year-old prodigy!

It's so well written.

Even if there are outstanding scholars in the Imperial Academy, it is still very rare to meet this type of child prodigy.

What's more, my brother's father is a very outstanding senior in the Hanlin Academy, and the three teachers are among the best in the Hanlin Academy. Whether it is out of their own curiosity or out of respect for their seniors, they are destined to marry my brother.

will receive much attention.

Even though there were so many people watching, Brother didn't panic at all. He also found an acquaintance in the group and greeted him warmly: "Brother No. 1 Scholar!"

The Hanlin Academy's triennial (possibly once every six years) selection of Shujishi has ended. Qian Fu, Liu Cunye, and Jin Gui, the three first-class scholars, are all directly admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Qian Fu followed the usual practice of starting six.

Compiled by Hanlin Pin.

Compared with his peers in the same year at the same Hanlin Academy, his promotion can directly shorten his term by one term!

Qian Fu was naturally deeply impressed by his brother. He smiled and went over to hug him and said, "You can't call me the number one scholar anymore. There are quite a few number one scholars in the Hanlin Academy."

Not to mention, my brother’s father and his teacher are the top picks.

The brother asked Qian Fu what he thought: "What do you call it?"

Qian Fu smiled and said, "My nickname is Yu Qian. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Yu Qian."

Brother immediately changed his mind.

Now that my brother has found him, it's no longer easy for others to tease him around, so he quickly disperses.

Qian Fu asked his brother: "Do you want to read a book first, or go to Wang Shi and others?"

Brother thought that from now on he would be in and out of sight of his father and teachers. He looked around nervously for a while to make sure that his teachers were not nearby, and whispered to Qian Fu in a low voice: "They must have something serious to do."

If they are busy, we won’t disturb them and let’s go read a book!”

Who would take the initiative to hang out in front of the teacher!

He has not written anything that can be shown off in front of them!

I even played happily for a few days without reading any books!

Qian Fu saw his brother's nervous expression, and immediately saw that he was worried about the teacher's sudden appearance. Even if the rumors outside were magical, this child was only three years old after all, and he would still not want to face the teacher when he wanted to.

right!

Qian Fu did not insist on carrying his brother to see Wang Hua and the others, but followed his wishes and took him to the library.

After placing his brother at the door of the library, Qian Fu moved his arms quietly.
Chapter completed!
