The cabinet is in the inner city. If I want to go to the cabinet from the Hanlin Academy, it is obvious that the closest way is through the Daming Gate. If I walk, it only takes a stick of incense to get there. However, not everyone can enter and exit the Daming Gate. They can only go to the afternoon.
The door is like going in a big circle.
Xu Hanlin secretly scolded these guys for being shameless. Although the Hanlin Academy was located between Daming Gate and Zhengyang Gate, it was not allowed to pass through. Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also a waste of strength.
Of course, now that he has become an official, he naturally has to ride in a sedan chair. He gave orders and asked the bearer to take him to the Meridian Gate. After checking his badge for access control, he went to the cabinet.
Compared to the Hanlin Academy, the Cabinet is really much more shabby. Not to mention not as good as the Hanlin Academy, it is even an ordinary county government office. It is probably not as good as it is. It is a dingy building similar to a courtyard, with dozens of rooms crammed into it.
Together, compared with the nearby palaces, it is like heaven and earth.
There is a room outside the cabinet that is used as a reception area. There are many officials sitting and waiting here. Usually they are submitted to the Lord, and they are waiting for officials to be called for consultation at any time. For example, when the Ministry of Punishment sends this year's Autumn Judgment Regulations, there must be
An official is waiting here, waiting for the ministers inside to read the charter. If he has any questions, he will be asked to ask him what happened to this person and what happened to that person. You have to explain clearly.
In fact, there are not many ministers who actually work here. There are only two cabinet bachelors on duty at the moment, there are also a few Hanlin sitting in the hall, a shift of General Affairs Department officials, and the others are scribes. After Xu Qian arrived, he asked one
The scribe said: "I am the new Hanlin editor. My surname is Xu Mingqian. I have been ordered to come and sit on duty. Is Mr. Yang here? Do you want to go and report to me first?"
The clerk looked at Xu Qian, and his expression was not very enthusiastic. The more he came into contact with people in the cabinet, the more he understood the current trends in the court. Xu Qian has always been a stumbling block for the two cabinet ministers, and he has long been a thorn in the side.
The matter has been circulated among the cabinet clerks for a long time. If it were more enthusiastic, it might be even worse.
"Are you Xu Hanlin?" The clerk looked at Xu Qian arrogantly, a bit like the arrogance of an old university student in later generations when he saw a new student. He then said: "There is indeed an official letter saying that you are coming to sit in the hall. Yang
Justice lies in the voting plan. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you, so just come with me."
Xu Qian was a little angry, but he finally held it back, mainly because he didn't know much about the situation and wanted to find out the situation first.
Following the clerk, he arrived at a check-in room. The clerk went in and greeted people, and then an old man who looked like a clerk came out. This man had a goatee and triangular eyes. He looked really unremarkable.
He bowed to Xu Qian and said in a lukewarm tone: "I am a minister of the imperial edict. My surname is Wang and my name is Industry. Your Excellency, you have come at the right time. Please invite me."
Wang Ye obviously didn't pay much attention to Xu Qian. Which clerk can work in the cabinet without any background? And to be able to sit on the throne of secretary is even more extraordinary, at least in this cabinet.
Wang Ye is a confidant of a certain bachelor.
Therefore, Wang Ye has not paid much attention to this newly promoted Hanlin. Although he knows that this person is powerful and knows many of his deeds, Wang Sili scorns him. This is the cabinet, and it is not a place where just anyone can run wild.
, If you dare to cause trouble, you should stop being an official.
He led Xu Qian into the waiting room. The waiting room was not big, even for cabinet ministers. How could the waiting room be better? In addition to a hall, there were seven or eight scribes working here.
In addition, there are several penthouses. There are also signs hanging outside the penthouses, such as Yang and Zhang. These are also Hanlins who are working. However, there is no movement inside, so they have obviously gone to other places to work.
Wang Ye said hello to several scribes, asked someone to move a table and chairs, and finished cleaning up in the hall. Then he said to Xu Qian: "Xu Hanlin, this is your office. If there is anything else, just
That’s the order.”
Xu Qian frowned. The hall was full of scribes working, but other Hanlin officials had their own clerks. However, he was arranged to be in this hall with a group of scribes. He searched the hall and found that one of the clerks was
empty, note
Walking in, he saw some sundries piled inside. Xu Qian pointed to the empty room and said: "If there is no room for duty, it's just a grievance in this hall. But there is clearly room for duty here, why let the official
On duty in the hall?"
Wang Ye frowned, then chuckled and said, "This is the place where the edicts are stored and discarded."
Xu Qian was dissatisfied and said: "We can just pile them up elsewhere."
"Xu Hanlin doesn't know the rules. The cabinet here is different from other yamen. Xu Hanlin is on duty here for the time being. If there is time in the future, he will definitely make room for you."
Xu Qian glared at him, disgusted, but remained silent. After sitting back on his desk, he felt that working in this environment was very annoying, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart. I read books about sages just to be with a group of people.
Do the scribes stay together?
He ignored Wang Ye, but instead slapped a scribe who had his head buried in papers, coughed and said, "Since you are on duty, what is the job of an official?"
The clerk looked at Wang Ye who was not far away, and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency is a member of the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, you don't have to be busy with anything else. You are just waiting for orders from the cabinet attendant."
This is tantamount to telling him that he doesn't have to do anything but sit here in a daze.
Xu Qian had already had a premonition that something was not going to happen. Xu Jie's reminder was right. Yang Tinghegen was not promoting him, but keeping him captive. If he was obedient, it would be easy to talk to him and he would stay here honestly. But if he was disobedient, he would be under his nose.
Bottom, just pick the wrong one and it will make you walk around without food.
"What sinister intentions." Xu Qian sneered in his heart.
After sitting in such a boring way for a day, Xu Qian's energy was suddenly sharpened. When it was time to go on duty, he sat in a sedan chair and went home. Gui Zhier asked him how it felt to be on duty. Xu Qian smiled and said: "It's not bad.
, the adults are quite cultivated."
This was something he said against his will. On the one hand, it would prevent Gui Zhier from worrying, and on the other hand, he would not be able to erase his own face.
However, Gui Zhi'er was a very smart person, so he wisely stopped asking questions and just said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. You see, all the ministers in the DPRK survived like this."
"If you really have to endure it like this, I don't know when I will be able to show off!" Xu Qian cursed in his heart.
The next day, he went to the cabinet as before. He didn't have to go to the Hanlin Academy today, so he came earlier. When he arrived at the waiting room, he happened to see Wang Ye carrying a cup of tea to Yang Shen's room.
Yang Shen was the son of Yang Tinghe, and he was also a member of the Imperial Academy. Wang Ye came out of his room with a smile. Xu Qian felt unhappy and was a little thirsty, so he said: "Prince Wang, make a pot of tea for the official."
But Wang Ye said: "I will go to the cabinet later to wait for orders. I'm afraid I won't be able to make a move. Besides, most of the tea that the officials drink is brewed by themselves."
Xu Qian's face turned pale and he said, "Then why does Yang Hanlin have tea?"
Wang Ye chuckled and said: "This is different. Yang Hanlin is busy with many things on weekdays and is tired, so I poured tea to relieve his fatigue."
Xu Qian asked again: "Since he is busy with everything, why does he have nothing to do as an official? Is it possible that they are both Hanlin, and they are divided into three, six, and nine grades? Are the busy ones busy to death, and the idle ones to death?"
Wang Ye was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, so he laughed and said: "I'm doing things according to the rules. Don't blame me, adults. If you are thirsty, you can go to the waiter to make tea."
Xu Qian had a gloomy face and remained silent.
When Wang Ye saw him obediently obeying, he sneered in his heart. Just now he said he wanted to go behind the cabinet duty room, but then he went to Yang Shen's duty room. God knows what he was trying to do.
The other scribes were all pretending to be doing things, but they had heard the conversation between the two of them. These were all old men. Seeing Wang Ye's attitude towards Xu Qian, they knew something in their hearts.
Keeping a distance from Xu Qian, as if he was afraid of getting into trouble.
The whole morning, Xu Qian did not do anything. He said he was waiting for an imperial edict, but he was not even as good as waiting for a job.
At noon, a clerk brought tea cups to all the gentlemen. Wang Ye also kindly sent tea to Yang Shen's duty room. In the duty room, Yang Shen was drafting a decree to strengthen maritime bans in the provinces south of the Yangtze River. Wang Si
The official brought refreshments to his case and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, it's getting late. It's time to take a break and have some pastries."
Yang Shen raised his eyes, glanced at him, and suddenly frowned: "Who were you talking to in the morning? Why were you so surprised?"
Official Wang said quickly: "It's the new Hanlin guy, his surname is Xu."
Yang Shen fell silent and couldn't help but show a bit of contempt and said: "The one who once wrote poems about the rolling water of the Yangtze River passing by in the east? Humph, you are moaning for nothing, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Speaking of it, it was Yang Shen who created the scene where the heroes were swept away by the rolling waves of the Yangtze River. It was just that at that time, Yang Tinghe had already become an official, and Yang Shen was not demoted to the outside world, so he wrote the popular "Linjiang Immortal". It's just that
Now he is angry
Fengfa was an Hanlin scholar, and his father was a cabinet bachelor. Everyone respected him like a god. As the most promising second-generation official in the Ming Dynasty, his future was bright. In his eyes, Xu Qian's words "Linjiang Immortal",
It's almost the same as moaning for nothing.
Secretary Wang smiled and said: "What Mr. Yang said is that this person is the most sensationalist. Don't pay attention to him. This person came to the cabinet. He really thought he was a great person and wanted to ask a villain to pour him tea."
Well, it’s really ridiculous.”
Yang Shen fell silent at this time. Although he was a public person, he was not a sinister person. He pursed his lips, glanced at Secretary Wang with disgust, and scolded: "Go down."
