Nowadays, the weather is getting better, and although there are no flowers in bloom, it is spring time, and outdoor activities are gradually increasing. In the famous Keting behind the lobby of the Hanlin Academy, elegant figures sitting around making tea and chatting have begun to appear again.
On this day, more than ten Hanlin officials got a bag of tea given by the emperor and gathered in Keting to have fun. The titles of the gentlemen ranged from editors to bachelors, but according to the Ci Lin, no matter the official title, they only talked about the titles before and after.
The special academic atmosphere is collectively called Hanlin.
The lecturer Li Dongyang and the editor Fang Qingzhi were also among them. In fact, Fang Qingzhi had other things at hand and didn't want to participate in this fun, but he had something to say to senior Li Dongyang, so he had no choice but to come along. Regarding his son's marriage
, you must give Li Dongyang an explanation no matter what, this is the most basic etiquette.
Fang Qingzhi sat next to Li Dongyang and hesitated several times, but he never found a suitable opportunity. Although Li Dongyang did not succeed in his official career, he was a famous literary figure who was outstanding in poetry and composition. In such an elegant gathering,
It was easy for Fang Qingzhi to become the center of the topic in the situation, and it was not easy for Fang Qingzhi to find a time to talk to him alone.
Suddenly, someone in the distance shouted: "Xie Yuqiao is here!" Everyone in Keting stopped talking and turned their heads to look.
Xie Yuqiao was the concubine of the left concubine of Zhan Shifu, the fifth rank. Xie moved to the East Palace as an official. He was the number one scholar in the eleventh year of Chenghua. He was also highly appreciated by Xu Pu, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy. In just six years,
, he was promoted from editor of Hanlin Academy to Zuo Shuzi of Zuochunfang in Zhan Shifu. He also jumped out of the small world of Hanlin Academy and became one of the lecturers in the East Palace.
In addition, he is only thirty-four years old, and Mr. Xie has a bright future. He is a well-known political star in the circle of officials in the Hanlinfang Bureau. He is almost destined to join the cabinet in the future.
Currently, in this age group, the only person who can compete with Mr. Xie for the limelight is Cheng Minzheng from Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shifu. But he is still a step behind Mr. Xie. However, Fang Yingwu, who knows the future history of another time and space, always feels that Cheng Minzheng
This person is so happy...
The appearance of people like Xie Qian certainly attracted the attention of everyone in Keting. Although Hanlin is a clear stream in the clear stream, being clear does not mean that he does not eat the fireworks of the world.
I don’t know who took the lead, stood up and strode to the front of the courtyard, making a greeting gesture. This attracted everyone in Keting to follow, regardless of their age, young or old, and headed to the front of the courtyard together. It seemed that in an instant, they were all coming one after another just now.
The crowded Keting immediately became empty and became a deserted place.
Faced with this situation, the editor Fang Qingzhi frowned and hesitated for a few times. He remembered his son's advice to him: "In the Hanlin Academy, no matter who you meet, you can be humble, but when you meet Xie Qian
, we must show the momentum of fighting against others! We must not feel inferior! Although he is doing well now, he once refused to save him, which was unjust and unjust, and he will always be at fault in front of my family!
People are forgetful, and the wrong things done by noble people are more likely to be forgotten by the world! Only if you, father, keep showing off a different and arrogant look in front of him, will others continue to remember the things he did wrong! If father
If you lower your own attitude first, others will not help you be more serious!"
But if he were different from everyone else, wouldn't he appear too unique, too abrupt, or too rude? Fang Qingzhi thought in embarrassment. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of someone else beside him. When he looked carefully, it was Li Dongyang, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
.
Even Li Dongyang, an "older" senior than Xie Qian, didn't move. Fang Qingzhi followed the older senior and didn't move, so it didn't matter...
The tragic Li Dongyang is actually about the same age as Fang Qingzhi and Xie Qian, but he is a veritable "old" senior.
At this time, Li Dongyang felt mixed emotions in his heart. Seeing the pomp of Xie Qian, a later generation figure, how could he not feel sad in his heart?
He entered the Hanlin Academy in the year he ascended the throne. Seventeen years have passed, but he is still only a sixth-grade lecturer. The key is that he is still confined to the small world of the Hanlin Academy, and there is no obvious channel for promotion - Ci Linguan
In middle school, we never look at the grade. The key is to see if there is a way to rise. A bachelor is only in the fifth grade in name...
Let’s look at Xie Qian, who entered the Hanlin Academy ten years later than Li Dongyang. Although Xie Qian is said to be the top scholar, his promotion was so fast that Li Dongyang could not match him. The gap in life experiences was too big.
Having said that, what troubles Li Dongyang right now is that everyone around him has gone to greet Xie Qian. Should he, Li Dongyang, go?
It would be a bit awkward to go. He, Li Dongyang, was a senior who entered the Hanlin Academy ten years earlier than Xie Qian. It would be hard to let go of his arrogance when he went to greet the younger generation, and he would look a bit groveling. If he didn't go, it would seem out of place.
At this moment, Li Dongyang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was someone else beside him. Looking carefully, he turned out to be Fang Qingzhi, and he looked like he had something to say to him.
Li Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he was inappropriate, but that someone else wanted to talk to him, so it was inconvenient to go to the head of the hospital...
After Li Dongyang and Fang Qingzhi looked at each other with a tacit understanding, they somehow suddenly understood each other's thoughts. They both couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing in unison, a meaningful tacit understanding. Of course, this
To outsiders, laughter can only be seen as inexplicable.
Xie Qian stole half a day and came to the Hanlin Academy today. He also came to keep in touch after the new year, and the relationship also required frequent visits. He came to Keting as a habit, and when he stood at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a group of people greeting him.
Come up.
After exchanging a few words, Xie Qian was about to lead everyone to Ke Ting's place to sit, but saw Fang Qingzhi standing there from a distance, so Mr. Xie stopped.
The reason why he stopped may be that Mr. Xie felt a little guilty towards Fang Qingzhi, or he may have done it on purpose, but no one could tell clearly, and no one could tell clearly.
Everyone and Xie Qian just stood at the courtyard gate chatting dryly... Fang Qingzhi and Li Dongyang were left alone in Keting, looking at each other in solitude, looking very embarrassed.
On one side, there are stars holding the moon, and on the other side, there are two isolated people. Ninety-nine percent of the Hanlin are smart people. Some people immediately felt that something was wrong, but no one said it. There are some things that are well known but cannot be spoken out.
I can only act as if nothing happened.
Fang Qingzhi didn't care at all, but Li Dongyang let out a long sigh. He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have felt angry about his life experience for a moment, and ended up in this embarrassing scene. He has endured it for more than ten years. Is this day still missing?
However, Fang Qingzhi thought about it for a moment and was about to tell Li Dongyang about Fang Yingwu's marriage. Another person rushed over and shouted to the yard: "Editor Fang! Mr. Li! Are you two adults there?"
Everyone who was disturbed paid attention. The person who yelled turned out to be Kong Mu, whose surname was Zhang, who was in charge of miscellaneous tasks in the Hanlin Academy.
Fang Qingzhi walked down the steps of the pavilion and said to Li Kongmu: "Brother Li and I are here, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Kongmu rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time. Fang Qingzhi said: "An edict has arrived from the palace! You two adults, hurry up and receive the edict!"
The Hanlin Academy has close ties with the inner court. It is a common occurrence for imperial edicts to come through. It is not surprising at all. But Fang Qingzhi and Li Dongyang. One is a person who has been in the limelight recently, and the other has been a bench figure for more than ten years.
What kind of holy will could bring the two of them together? This made everyone very curious.
Fang Qingzhi had a premonition after his son hinted at it, but Li Dongyang was uneasy, so the two of them went to the lobby to receive the order. Not only the two of them, but also some spectators also came to watch.
The first half of the edict can be ignored. It is something that everyone has written and heard well in the Hanlin Academy. There is only one key sentence. "Li Dongyang served as the lecturer, and Fang Qingzhi, the editor, compiled the "Wenhua Daxun"
, all serving Bandong Palace."
Fang Qingzhi was mentally prepared. He had finished being bored at home. At this moment, his face remained calm. He was calm as usual and completed the thank-you ceremony in a precise manner. When people saw it, they praised him, "Editor Fang is calm when facing big things. That's good."
Be kind and never forget your true form."
But Li Dongyang was stunned by the sudden happiness. Although he had a strong mind tempered by more than ten years of bench service, he still couldn't help but feel dazed at the moment. Fortunately, there was a role model next to him who could teach him to follow Fang Qingzhi's step-by-step approach.
Done thank you. No mistakes.
But having said that, Li Dongyang did not faint on the spot, which can be said to be a very strong psychological quality.
Again, the Hanlin does not look at grades, but only looks at whether there are channels for promotion. For example, for the same fifth rank, those who enter the channels for promotion can work in the cabinet; those who do not enter the channels for promotion can only work in the Hanlin Academy.
A lifelong fifth-grade old bachelor.
Regarding the appointments of Li Dongyang and Fang Qingzhi this time, it seems that their official titles and grades remain intact, but the two jobs of majoring in royal textbooks and serving in the East Palace are hard to buy. This means that they have entered the upward channel.
He is no longer an ordinary Hanlin, but a Hanlin who is expected to compete for cabinet positions.
It is conceivable that as long as they help the royal family complete the "Wenhua Training", the two of them will definitely be upgraded immediately and become officials in the left and right Chunfang of Zhan Shifu. This is the courtesy that the royal family must give.
Unlike other officials, the promotion of Ci ministers has its own fast track, which is to become a Chunfang official in the Zhanshi Mansion, and then be promoted to a temple minister, a minister... and of course the highest level is a bachelor of the imperial palace.
.
The people who came to watch were in an uproar. This special edict this time really has special significance. The Hanlin Academy is a place where elites gather, and any personnel promotion may affect the direction of the court a few years later.
To be more serious, this edict is equivalent to adding two people to the list of old candidates for the future cabinet.
After the uproar, everyone swarmed up and congratulated Li Dongyang and Fang Qingzhi together, and the hall was filled with people.
Standing alone one moment, blooming with flowers the next, the ups and downs of life are so exciting... After Li Dongyang came to his senses, he was not intoxicated by other people's compliments. He quickly grabbed the eunuch who was delivering the order and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me
Why bathe in Heaven's grace?" The eunuch replied: "I heard that Liu Boye recommended him."
Li Dongyang was stunned. He and Liu Mianhua were not even close to each other... He had also dreamed that someone would recommend him to the imperial court, but he never dreamed that it was Liu Mianhua who recommended him.
Ah. In fact, it’s not surprising who recommends me, but is Liu Mianhua such a selfless person?
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Fang Qingzhi found an opportunity to talk to Li Dongyang alone, "Brother Bin, I'm really sorry about Quanzi's marriage..." (To be continued...)
ps: I felt like vomiting when I saw the computer yesterday... When I got up this morning, I quickly coded to catch up on yesterday's update.
