The next day, Li Jie got up early as usual to prepare for the pilgrimage. A young man wearing a unicorn suit made a lot of money along the way. It was really a sight to behold.
Stepping into the court room, Qian Fu was about to say hello when he saw Li Jie wearing a unicorn suit and said in surprise: "Shenzhi, where did you get this unicorn suit? Is this trespassing?"
Li Jie smiled slightly: "Yu Qian, this matter is a long story. I will explain it to you in detail after I go to court. This uniform is a gift from the Holy One and is not an arrogance."
The other Hanlin officials in the court were all shocked when they heard this. Not to mention the Hanlin of the Editorial and Inspection Department, even the Japanese lecturer who often brushed his face in front of the emperor did not receive this honor. This time Li Jie was granted obedience by the emperor in the Hanlin Academy.
This was the first time since Xiaozong ascended the throne.
The Japanese lecturers had previously discussed who would come out on top. Unexpectedly, this newcomer came to the top. Everyone in the court room was envious of him. Yang Tinghe was also filled with emotions. He didn't expect that the person in front of him had a slightly green face.
A young man could actually have this honor. He was still struggling for promotion, but this junior had already left him far behind.
When Xu Pu entered the court room, he found that it was more lively than usual. When he saw that most of the people's eyes were fixed on Li Jie, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised. Everyone suddenly became quiet when they saw Mr. Ge coming, but their eyes always glanced from time to time.
Pass Li Jie.
Liu Ji received the news that Li Jie was surrendered by the emperor last night. When he entered the court room and saw Li Jie, he couldn't help but feel angry. In his opinion, Li Jie was really naive, and he was overestimating his abilities when he proposed the salt-drying method.
, thinking that with the support of Xu Pu, they would dare to use the salt law rashly. Those people behind the salt merchants would not let Li Jie off easily.
The drums on the Meridian Gate sounded, and everyone walked out of the court room and went to their respective seats.
After the start of the Japanese dynasty, there was a little excitement outside the Meridian Gate. All the officials turned their attention to the Hanlin Academy. The crimson color was so eye-catching that it was difficult not to notice.
Liu Yu's eyes seemed to be frozen, and he looked straight at Li Jie. At this moment, he felt infinite regret in his heart. He was so blinded by jealousy that he actually had a conflict with this man. What kind of treatment was he given by the emperor? It was impossible for him to do so.
I don't know, now I just hope that the other party will not remember the villain's faults, otherwise he will be targeted by this person, and his future will be gloomy.
After going to court, the discussion about Li Jie didn't stop.
"Young people are awesome. You are given honors at a young age."
"Yes, success is just around the corner. He is only fourteen years old. He has set a precedent for our dynasty!"
"I just took the imperial examination when I was fourteen years old. People are comparing each other to each other, which makes me very angry!"
…………
There is a sour smell in the air, and when the news spreads in Beijing, the sour smell will become even stronger.
In the editorial office, Qian Fu suggested: "Shenzhi, you want to treat us this time, are you right?"
Everyone also echoed: "Yes, yes!"
At present, Li Jie's holy family is prosperous. Although he is still young, there is a high probability that he will be promoted faster than them in the future. Anyway, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with this person. Many people are still counting on Li Jie to help them in the future.
.
Li Jie didn't want to go against everyone's wishes. After all, they would have to work together in the future. It was not good to be too aloof. He smiled and replied: "No problem, just go to Zuixian Tower."
Zuixian Tower was famous in Yingtian Mansion at the beginning of the dynasty. When Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital to Shuntian Mansion, Zuixian Tower also opened a branch in Shuntian Mansion. It was a favorite place for high-ranking officials and scholars, and of course the consumption was quite high.
The Hanlin Academy is a noble place, but it doesn't have much money. It's a rare visit for everyone. When they heard that Li Jie was having a banquet at Zuixian Tower, everyone replied.
"Editor Lin, awesome!"
"I have long heard of Liu Lingzui's reputation in Zuixian Tower. This time, thanks to Editor Lin's help, I finally got what I wanted."
After getting off duty, everyone went to Zhengyangmen Street together. Zuixian Tower was rich and wealthy, so it was naturally located in a prosperous area. Most of the famous brothels, restaurants, and theaters in Beijing were located on Zhengyangmen Street. Li Jie had already sent his troops before getting off duty.
The official went to Zuixian Tower to book a private room. Due to the popularity of Zuixian Tower, it was impossible not to book in advance.
Outside the Zhengyang Gate, the lanterns were turned on, and merchants hung lanterns on both sides of the street. From the street to the end of the street, there was an endless stream of pedestrians. This was the famous gold-selling cave in Beijing, a place of sensuality, dissipation, and intoxication. In a trance, Li
Jie thought he had returned to the future, and the scene here was no less than the bustling city of the past.
The waiter at Zuixian Tower saw Li Jie and his entourage walking towards him in official uniforms. Although it was a bit strange that Li Jie was wearing a scarlet robe at such a young age, he just thought he was a relative of some distinguished family and said with a smile on his face: "Masters
, please come quickly, do you have a reservation?"
Li Jie told the waiter about the reservation information, and the waiter led everyone to the private room with a respectful look. The restaurant was full of guests, elegant music was playing, and the guests exchanged glasses. It was very lively.
A scholar said: "Hey, look, look, isn't that the new beauty? Why is he wearing a scarlet robe?"
Another scholar, who is usually very well-informed, said with a showy face: "I heard that it was a gift from the emperor yesterday. Tsk tsk, look at this posture, it's like a star holding the moon, and it's beautiful! A man should be like this!"
"Being a farmer in the morning and ascending to the emperor's palace in the evening, Tanhualang is really a role model for our generation! We must be like him in the future!"
One of the scholars, who was usually a supporter of Li Jie, sneered when he heard this: "You are worthy? Tanhua Lang is so talented, don't you even look at yourself!"
The scholar who spoke could not stand such ridicule. His face turned red with anger, and he immediately retorted. As he was talking, the two started fighting. Seeing this, other people hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight. The eyes of other people in the restaurant
I was immediately attracted by this group of scholars. After the silence, all the scholars lost interest in continuing to drink and dispersed one after another.
When Li Jie heard the commotion downstairs, he could only shake his head helplessly. For him, this kind of thing was just an insignificant episode. He withdrew his mind and devoted himself to the private room.
The waiter said aside: "Master, do you need some singing and dancing?"
Li Jie thought that he had come all the way, and there was no need to worry about the cost. He nodded, and then ordered all the signature dishes of Zuixianlou. Liu Ling drunkenly shouted at them a lot. He was also curious about what the famous wines in Beijing were like.
Can it be compared to my own Zui Liuxia?
The music was melodious, the dancers were graceful, and the atmosphere in the elegant room was very harmonious under the promotion of thoughtful people. Liu Lingzui was worthy of being a famous wine, and it was not inferior to the famous wines in the world after that. Fortunately, Li Jie had profound skills. Although he was toasted repeatedly by everyone, everyone
But not drunk at all.
Zhang Rui complimented: "I didn't expect Editor Lin's drinking capacity to be as unfathomable as his articles!"
Everyone agreed, and then the reviewer Yang Shichang suggested: "Lin's poems are famous in the capital. Isn't it a pity that there is wine but no poems today?"
