When Lin Tailai was thinking about Shen Lishangshu's resignation, he saw Dong Qichang and Zhou Yingqiu appearing at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhou Yingqiu took the initiative to report: "Today is the day for the newly selected Shujishi to report for duty. Later, Mr. Tian, who is responsible for teaching Shujishi, will also lecture."
Lin Xiuzhuan sighed: "You two are not from Suzhou and may not know that when you were in Fu Xue, I, the senior of Fu Xue, was usually the one responsible for giving lectures to Fu Xue students.
When I heard the word "exercise" again today, I couldn't help but miss my study career in Fu Xue."
Hearing the song and knowing its elegant meaning, Zhou Yingqiu immediately understood it.
The imperial court selected more than twenty sages from this department, and they were lining up in front of the main hall, waiting for lectures.
Lin Xiuzhuan had nothing to do, so he strolled over to take a look and saw that there were twenty-two concubines of the same age, including Dong Qichang, Zhou Yingqiu, Zhu Guozhen, Huang Hui, Zhou Ruti, Zhuang Tianhe, Lin Yuyao, Gu Jiming, Xu Yandeng, etc.
Overall, I feel that this group of people is still relatively mediocre, and there is no one who can threaten their position as the leader of this year.
It can also be seen that the cabinet still has control over Hanyuan affairs, and no one who clearly belongs to the Qingliu forces was selected.
None of the dozen or so new scholars who were related to Shen Li and Gu Xiancheng showed up today.
According to the practice of previous departments, after the generals in each department are dismissed, there are usually seven or eight people staying in the Hanlin Academy, and the rest are assigned to the departments.
Moreover, whenever a new Shujishi is elected, the Hanlin Academy will arrange a senior Hanlin to be responsible for teaching the Shujishi.
The person being taught this time was Bachelor Tian Yijuntian, whose status in the Hanlin Academy was equivalent to "executive deputy", second only to Chen Yubi, the head of the academy.
When the concubines gathered together, Master Tian walked out of the public room and stood on the platform in front of the hall to prepare a lecture.
Just when Academician Tian was about to speak, he inadvertently caught sight of Lin Xiuzhuan standing next to the crowd holding a big gun.
After enduring it, Xueshi Tian, who was taciturn by nature and slightly socially fearful, turned a blind eye to this decision.
Everyone in Hanyuan already knew that this No. 1 scholar was a troublemaker. He had to overcome his social fears, so don't mess with him.
After adjusting his mentality, Master Tian began to lecture the rookie Shujishi:
"You all have benefited from the eight-part writing skills, but I still want to say that after entering the Hanlin Academy, you will abandon all the eight-part writing skills!
During the three years of study at the Hanlin Academy, the main things you and other newcomers will do are five things!
First, master the writing of imperial edicts and other official documents as soon as possible;
Second, study the classics and history carefully and at the same time expand the breadth of your coverage.
Third, strive to hone literary skills;
Fourth, observe and think about previous edicts and become familiar with military and state affairs.
Fifth, if you ask and learn more from the elders in Hanyuan, you will definitely make more progress!"
Xueshi Tian's instructions were concise and to the point, without lengthy speeches. He told Hanyuan newcomers exactly what they should do.
After the lecture, Master Tian returned to the public room.
Zhou Yingqiu, who was second in the crowd, suddenly shouted: "So the number one scholar is here! If we follow the school rules, the number one scholar is our senior. I should ask the senior to say a few words!"
Everyone did not take Zhou Yingqiu's words seriously. After all, when they were first elected as Shujishi, it was probably the most arrogant time in their lives.
From thousands of elites, more than 300 elites were selected, and from more than 300 elites, more than 20 elites were selected.
He is so high-spirited that he feels that the future is his own! Thirty years from Hedong and Hexi, there will be a chair of his own in Wenyuan Pavilion!
Why should you let a person of your own generation condescend and lecture you?
The top pick is just luckier than you. If you take the exam again, you may not be the top pick!
Therefore, most people did not want to listen to the lectures of the number one scholar and were ready to disperse, either to visit the Hanlin Academy together or to visit the Hanyuan seniors they knew.
When they turned around, they were shocked to find that dozens of big men armed with sticks had appeared, standing around their group of shujis, and surrounded them.
Now I can't leave even if I want to. Lin Zhuangyuan, you need to give everyone an explanation!
Lin Tailai stepped onto the platform, leaning on a big gun, and said to the fellow soldiers of the same age below:
"Everyone, please be patient! Just now, Academician Tian said that newbies should seek advice from old people like me in Hanyuan!
As an old man who entered Hanyuan ten days earlier than you, I would like to add some opinions!
To sum up, it means being down-to-earth, honing your knowledge more, and talking less about your ambitions!"
Someone below the steps asked dissatisfiedly: "What is ambition? Why don't we talk about ambition so much? Shouldn't people be determined?"
Lin Tailai responded accordingly: "There is an evil trend in the imperial court today. Some people claim to be clean, hold high opinions, and talk about great ambitions.
However, if you look closely at these ambitions, you will find that they are nothing but political preaching, and they are extremely empty!
They focus on distinguishing between good and evil, insisting on distinguishing similarities and differences, and frequently denounce anyone who does not follow their own opinions as treacherous.
At the same time, they don’t like to plan and implement practical things, but they want to ruin things if they don’t follow their own opinions, and for this reason they even do not hesitate to ruin national affairs!”
Someone else asked: "What is their purpose of doing this? What are the benefits?"
Lin Tailai sneered: "The purpose of their doing this is to establish enemies, and then use the enemies as targets to incite oppositional emotions in the court, so as to continuously gather the power of the same party!
Many newcomers to the court were contaminated by this kind of rubbish sentiment, and then they thought they were righteous and threw themselves into it one after another!
I hope there won’t be such fools among you!”
Such politically charged words were rarely heard by everyone present, and they were immediately shocked.
In other words, it is the father who imparts what he has learned throughout his life to his son, so that he can be so profound, right?
In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, Lin Tailai gave another example: "The Qingliu forces are currently mainly entrenched in Kedao, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanyuan area was originally isolated from the Qingliu forces.
But the Qingliu forces will definitely try their best to develop their allies in Hanyuan, and they will not give up here!
Let’s not talk about it from afar, just talk about the senior Shujis in modern science. Some of them have already been contaminated!
For example, the editor Ye Xianggao may sympathize with Qingliu more, while the other editor Guo Zhengyu may agree with those Qingliu group even more than Ye Xianggao does!"
Lin Tailai understands traffic. Such a clear-cut and public naming of names immediately made everyone feel upset, and the rookies were greatly affected!
Is everyone in the Imperial Academy so wild?
At this time, not only the concubines at the foot of the stairs were listening, but also many Hanlin officials from the surrounding halls came out and stood in the corridors to listen.
Ye and Guo, two editors with less than a few years of experience, were watching the excitement and looked confused!
He actually ate melon on his own head!
How good and capable are these two editors, that they can actually become the negative examples in Lin Tailai's mouth?
Isn't it okay for those who are riding horses to secretly give Qingliu forces a thumbs up in their hearts?
It’s hard to say what the two are like now, but in the future of history, one will be passively recognized as the so-called leader of Donglin because of his sympathy for the Donglin Party;
The other one turned his back on Shen Yiguan, the former Shujishi teacher, and got together with Shen Li, the leader of the Donglin Party who entered the DPRK for the second time.
If Lin Tailai wanted to set a negative example, who would he blame if he didn't mention these two?
Lin Xiuzhan scanned the audience majestically and continued to speak loudly: "I'm afraid that among us newcomers, there are also undercover agents of their Qingliu forces!"
Lin Tailai knows the rhythm, it's like one wave after another!
Once again, all the rookies and commoners below were shocked!
We even found a sense of participation, secretly looking at each other and guessing who was the so-called undercover Qingliu force.
Finally, Lin Xiuzhuan made an impassioned conclusion: "Qingliu forces are determined to infiltrate Hanyuan, and we must always remain highly vigilant!
I hope that all of you will become the pillars of the country in the future, rather than the cannon fodder of the factional struggle!
After I finish speaking, who agrees and who opposes?"
Everyone looked at the big gun in Lin Zhuangyuan's hand, and they were silent and did not speak, let alone object.
It's just that everyone's eyes were weird, which made Lin Xiuzhan confused.
Zhou Yingqiu, who was also at the bottom of the stairs, suddenly made a gesture, and Lin Xiuzhuan suddenly turned his head and looked back.
At some unknown time, Academician Chen, the dean of the academy, had come out of the public room in the main hall and stood behind him with an expressionless face.
"Ah, I've seen the captain!" Lin Xiuzhuan wanted to salute, but found that he was holding a big gun in his hand, which was very inconvenient.
So he quickly gave up his seat and invited, "Master, the director of the academy, also come over and say a few words?"
Chen Xueshi shouted at Lin Tailai: "How dignified is it for a dignified minister to walk around in Hanyuan with a murderous weapon?"
Everyone: "..."
Even a newcomer felt that this reprimand was very clear and it captured the key point immediately.
"No, Master, please listen to my explanation!" Lin Xiuzhan said.
Then he pointed at a certain sage in the crowd and said quickly: "This person Tang Xiaochun is the grandson of Tang Shunzhi, an old man from Hanyuan in the past and the Huiyuan Dynasty in Jiajing Dynasty!
At that time, Tang Shunzhi passed down the Tang family's marksmanship to Qi Shaobao, and Qi Shaobao passed on his marksmanship to me!
Because of this connection, I intend to compete with Tang Xiaochun in marksmanship and experience the authentic Tang family marksmanship to find my own shortcomings!"
Young people may no longer know who Tang Shunzhi is, but old people still have some memories of this versatile man.
Damn it! Tang Xiaochun, the transparent young man in Rookie, is suddenly confused. He is just a weak scholar. Where did he learn any marksmanship?
If he and Lin Tailai were to compete in marksmanship, it would be pure abuse!
He hurriedly replied: "My ancestors have been gifted by nature. While studying and taking the first place in the examination, they also practiced martial arts and spearmanship. They are all-round in both civil and military affairs.
But not every Tang family member can be like their ancestor..."
I don't know which narrow-minded person whispered: "How come you sound like Lin Jiuyuan?"
This ethical joke triggered low laughter, and Tang Xiaochun, who felt the malice in the workplace for the first time, could not continue talking.
Scholar Chen's face trembled, and he continued to scold Lin Tailai: "If you want to discuss, go back to the Number One Scholar Hall! Don't gather people in the atrium to cause trouble!"
Then he said to others: "If nothing happens, let's leave!"
After Chen Xueshi left, Lin Tailai tilted his head towards the White Tiger Hall to the west and said to Tang Xiaochun: "Let's go! Follow me into the house!"
Tang Xiaochun instinctively felt that he had bad intentions, and said in horror: "No! If you have anything to say, just say it here!"
The others had planned to leave, but suddenly they didn't want to leave.
This Tang Sandai was too immature. Lin Xiuzhuan sighed and said: "It is definitely not appropriate for the organization to talk to you publicly. But since you take the initiative to ask for it to be made public, then it will be as you wish."
Then he continued: "You are from Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, and it is close to Wuxi. This makes me very worried.
Wuxi is the base camp of the Qingliu force Gu Jiaban. Wujin and Wuxi have close relations and share the same cultural heritage. Gu Xiancheng's tutor was a great Confucian in Wujin County, so many Wujin scholars were deeply influenced by Gu Xiancheng.
So I am very worried that you will become another breakthrough point for Qingliu forces to penetrate into Hanyuan."
In fact, most of the people around Gu Xiancheng now, in addition to his hometown in Wuxi, are from Wujin, Yixing, and Jintan in the surrounding areas.
Tang Xiaochun couldn't answer the call. From a relationship point of view, Wujin and the surrounding Shilin were very close, so it was impossible to tell.
Lin Tailai said quietly: "And I heard that someone in your Tang family married the daughter of Jin Tan Yu Kong Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites?
That is the backbone of the Qingliu forces, and he often helps Shen Shangshu manage affairs in the Ministry of Rites."
The implication is, how did you, a sage, break through the cabinet blockade?
Tang Xiaochun began to regret talking to Lin Tailai in public.
Maybe due to psychological effects, I always feel like there are strange eyes around me looking at me.
Lin Tailai just said that there might be Qingliu forces working undercover among the newcomers. Could he be referring to himself?
"Then what can I do? Draw a clear line with my relatives?" Tang Xiaochun said angrily.
Lin Tailai thought thoughtfully: "That's not impossible."
Tang Xiaochun: "..."
Lin Tailai immediately said seriously: "As the authentic descendant of your Tang family gun, I don't want to see Mr. Tang's descendants go astray.
That’s why I would like to remind you that if you have a bad background, you should pay more attention to your position than others!"
Tang Xiaochun was completely confused. What's his position?
Lin Tailai thought of another villain's pretense, pointed at his eyes, and said to Tang Xiaochun: "I will keep an eye on you."
Suddenly someone shouted: "Lin Jiuyuan! Are you hostile to people from Changzhou Prefecture?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Xiuzhan refuted angrily.
Then he waved his hand vigorously and let Zhou Yingqiu go!
The next moment, Zhou Yingqiu jumped out and shouted: "I! Zhou Yingqiu! I am from Jintan County, Changzhou Prefecture!
We are from the same county and hometown as Yu Kong Jian, who we just mentioned!
But has Lin Jiuyuan ever been hostile to me? Has he ever treated me differently because I come from Changzhou Prefecture?"
Everyone: "..."
You have already licked Lin Jiuyuan as a poet, so why is Lin Jiuyuan still hostile to you?
Zhou Yingqiu raised his arms and shouted: "So, saying that Lin Jiuyuan is hostile to Changzhou Prefecture is definitely a slander against Lin Jiuyuan!
I, Zhou Yingqiu, can prove that as long as I stay away from the Gu family class, I have a chance to gain Lin Jiuyuan's friendship!
As for what it means to have a chance, if you understand, please applaud!"
Lin Tailai sighed and said to Dong Qichang: "This guy used too much force again."
He finally discovered that as long as Zhou Yingqiu starts to speak, he can even steal the limelight from himself!
