"The eagle stands as if it is sleeping, and the tiger moves as if it is sick. This is where he grabs and bites people."
The long canal surrounding the Shiqu Pavilion draws the running water from Cangchi in the south of the palace. The sound of the water is gurgling. The breeze blows the copper bells hanging at the corners of the eaves. The tinkling bells and the sound of the water complement each other and form an interesting contrast. There are cars and horses around.
As a result, everyone deliberately tiptoed when passing by this place, not daring to make any noise for fear of disturbing the noble people studying inside.
Sima Yi stood side by side in front of Shiqu Pavilion with another young man who was similar in age to him but had a timid expression.
The simple and elegant rules of Shiqu Pavilion were just a novelty to Sima Yi, but to the young man next to him, they were all awe-inspiring.
There was no one around, so Sima Yi could not help but feel restless. He turned sideways and said to the young man: "I am Sima Yi in Hanoi, courtesy name Zhongda. He was born in the second year of Guanghe. The honor of the family is Jinwu Sima Gong. Don't you know your surname?"
Everyone in the Secretary Prison is a disciple of a high-ranking scholar. For ordinary people, the biggest benefit of joining the Secretary Prison is to be close to the emperor and form a deep friendship with the emperor. But for Sima Yi, the greatest value of the Secretary Prison is besides the emperor.
In addition, the nine existing secretaries are also coveted and elusive human resources.
Everyone in the Secretariat Supervisor is talented and has their own strengths. Naturally, they are young and energetic, have high self-esteem, and have the unique arrogance and complacency of some young people. Although he has not yet officially experienced it, Sima Yi has obviously foreseen the Secret Supervisor.
phenomenon that may already exist.
In order to prevent himself, a newcomer who joined the team halfway, from being isolated by the 'old man' at the beginning, Sima Yi chose to recruit a partner in advance, that is, the young man beside him who joined the team with him, hoping that he could be with him
Spend it together, and even bear the pressure brought about by this initial 'observation period' for him.
"Ah." The young man stood there in a formal manner. Suddenly he heard Sima Yi talking to her, and she was startled. He had a delicate appearance and a thin body, looking like a child under ten years old. The young man reacted.
, his eyes first looked around, and then he replied: "I am Zhao Weidan in Jingjing, whose courtesy name is Zhongjiang. He was also born in the second year of Guanghe, and his family honor is Wei Gong, the governor of Wudu County."
Sima Yi couldn't help but be secretly surprised. What surprised him was not that Wei Dan looked like he was only ten years old but was actually the same age as him, but that he had thought that Wei Dan and he were both newcomers and could support each other. Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Secretary Lang Wei Kang
My younger brother has his elder brother taking care of him as a secretary. Are he still worried that he will not be able to integrate into the existing circle in time?
It seems that I am the truly helpless ‘outsider’.
At this time, secretary Lang Wangcan came over from behind and saw Sima Yi and two people standing at the door. He couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "Why are you two standing here and not going in?"
"Don't we have to wait for His Majesty's summons?" Wang Can sometimes went to Wei's house to discuss Confucian classics with Wei Kang, so Wei Dan was an acquaintance of him: "Brother, why are you here just now?"
Wang Can was well-versed and refined, and often missed the time to enter the palace to serve because of other matters. This time it was the same. However, he did not elaborate on the matter, but said curiously: "Your Majesty should summon the ministers in the greenhouse at this time, not to mention
There is no lu book here, who did you listen to?"
"Huh?" Wei Dan's eyes widened in surprise, and then he said belatedly: "I thought something was strange, it turned out to be like this! It was Wang Fu who told me to wait and asked me to wait here."
Wang Can glanced at Wei Dan, and then couldn't help but look at Sima Yi who was silent on the side. He couldn't help but think that Wei Dan was honest and honest, so it was fine that he didn't notice it for a while, but he heard that Sima Yi was quite intelligent, so how could he continue to do so?
Can't you see this at all?
Sima Yi noticed Wang Can's eyes and chuckled, "Maybe I heard wrongly and caused such a misunderstanding."
Wang Can was suspicious in his heart, but he said helplessly: "That man is joking and doesn't care about the situation. Just follow me in first."
Sima Yi smiled softly, obviously not taking this seriously, and the same was true for Wei Dan. He had long heard of Wang Fu's many unruly deeds, so naturally he did not dare to say anything at this time.
After several people entered the Shiqu Pavilion, they were seated in succession by Secretary Cheng Zhu Hao, Secretary Lang Yang Xiu and others. They were each busy with the final finishing work, copying the book titles into the corresponding positions according to the classification of the "Classics and History Collection" set by the emperor.
superior.
They sat scattered, some gathered together behind desks piled with slips, and some lived in solitude, sitting alone by the window.
Wang Can took Sima Yi and others to see everyone in turn. They were not as difficult to get along with as Sima Yi thought. Instead, they came forward to greet him in a friendly manner. Despite this appearance, Sima Yi still stood in groups of two or three.
Together, we can see some clues in each other's behavior.
"General Zhong is here?" Pei Qian said with a smile: "Now that's good, General Yuan and General Zhong are both in the Secretary's Prison. They are brothers and they are brothers. It is a good story."
Wei Kang smiled modestly and said: "I am not talented at all, but I am a secretary and my family is respected by your majesty. I am so kind and generous that I can't repay you. This time, your majesty specially sent your younger brother to the palace, which is really frightening.
Wen Xing, please stop making fun of me, I will wait for you brother."
Yang Xiu interjected at this time: "My elder brother Yadu Hongyi, I don't know how to be a younger brother. The father and son serve the Ming Dynasty together, and Jingzhao Weishi is about to rise. It seems that it is not far away."
These words were originally good words, but they always came out of Yang Xiu's mouth with a condescending tone, as if a senior who had already developed a lot was lamenting his achievements while symbolically encouraging the younger ones.
Wei Kang had some embarrassment on his face, and for a moment he didn't know what attitude to use to answer the conversation in order to appear neither humble nor arrogant. But after thinking about it, he felt that he would be at the bottom no matter what.
"I told you not to make fun of them anymore, and you are still talking about this." Pei Qian stood up and said softly: "Why don't you come and sit over with me? I happen to have the "Han Dan Gong" compiled by Handan Gong.
"Laughing Forest", you can watch it to relieve your boredom."
"Why don't you show me this kind of book about haiku and miscellaneous stories?" Fazheng deliberately looked unhappy. In fact, he wanted to use this to tease Yang Xiu: "It's a pity that my brother is too old. If
Otherwise, I will definitely be able to join the secretarial department this time and create a good story with your brother again."
Yang Xiu's cousin Yang Liang is the son of Yang Qi, the servant. He has been an adult for a long time, but due to various reasons, he has never been an official.
"Xiaozhi seems to be very envious of having a brother." Huan Fan stood up in time to help Yang Xiu, with a hint of thorn in his words: "Otherwise, I really want to see what kind of attitude Xiaozhi would have towards his brother.
"
Fazheng's expression changed and he was about to speak when he saw Secretary Cheng Zhu Hao sitting at the top speak: "Okay, everyone, please sit back. Your Majesty will be here soon."
Zhu Hao is the son of former general Zhu Jun. He came to Chang'an as early as Zhao Qi arrived in Luoyang as an envoy. Since Shejian was sent to Hanyang as governor, the position of Secretary Ling became vacant, and the emperor has not yet arranged for a successor. Therefore, Zhu Hao, the secretary-general, is the nominal secretary-superintendent and the highest official.
Of course, this was only in name. Zhu Hao had no prominent family background, no talent that impressed Fa Zheng and others, and he did not have the appreciation and favor that the emperor had for She Jian. He could not control these high-spirited young talents at all. .
They were chatting and laughing around the Webster brothers, but inadvertently ignored Sima Yi who was walking with them. Sima Yi didn't feel dissatisfied, he just said hello to them and walked to a corner.
It seems that the so-called ‘Eight Secrets of the Province’ also have their own agendas...
Sima Yizheng was thinking while casually looking at the slips and scrolls neatly placed around him.
When he reached a corner, under a half-open window, he finally saw the person he was secretly looking for.
"Wang Lang, it's not very kind of you to make such a joke with me when I first come here!"
