After the principal left, the Hanlin officials still had no intention of talking about scriptures, so they continued to gossip in a tacit understanding.
There are so many things about this No. 1 pick that are worth gossiping about, such as the big promotion drama a few days ago.
There was a court meeting to decide the candidates for the four ministers in the north and south. Qin Zhuangyuan, who was not present, was rumored to be the manipulator behind the scenes, but many people still can't understand it.
The analysis and interpretation of various details in the process of court promotion has become the hottest topic in the officialdom of the capital these days.
What's interesting is that all the parties involved are very secretive, and there is no official answer at all, which leads to outsiders often having different interpretations and arguing with each other.
The seniors in the Hanlin Academy, regardless of their position, dared to talk about Qin Dewei.
After all, the Hanlin Academy is a place that doesn't pay much attention to grades, but pays great attention to seniors.
But the large number of sages standing around are not even qualified to speak here.
The so-called Shujishi refers to a group of new scholars selected by the imperial court. They will not be officials first and study in the Hanlin Academy for three years.
Although this is the best way out among the Jinshi in the same ranking, second only to Sandingjia, and is more noble than others in the same year, it is not yet a formal Hanlin official after all.
After studying, the best Shujishi can stay in the Hanlin Academy to officially serve as officials, the second-rate ones go to the Imperial Academy, and the third-rate ones go to other government offices.
So how could a group of common people who were still in the study period dare to talk casually about Qin Dewei, who was already in the sixth grade, even though they were in the same year.
In the evening, Qin Dewei stayed at Teacher Zhang's house, slowly drinking wine and eating side dishes.
Zhang Chao, Bachelor Zhang, doesn’t know if he’s going through menopause, but Qin Dewei seems a little unpleasant to him recently.
In the eyes of others, his recent identity seems to be just "Master Qin Dewei." As a teacher, living in the shadow of his students is really too disturbing.
"Why don't you go home? How long will you sit here?" Teacher Zhang saw how dark the night was and said something to drive people away.
Qin Dewei raised his head and looked at the position of the moon outside, and said doubtfully: "Everyone knows that the Hanlin Academy is full of the smartest people in the world, and I can't even see it."
Academician Zhang has spent his entire life in the Hanlin Academy. This is his proudest identity, and he would never listen to such remarks that ridicule the Hanlin Academy.
He immediately scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't forget, you are also from the Hanlin Academy!"
Qin Dewei clasped his fists and said, "No prizes, no prizes! In fact, I am really not the smartest in the world."
Academician Zhang choked immediately, and after a moment he regained his composure and asked, "What do you want to do tonight?"
Qin Dewei couldn't help but sigh: "I gave such obvious hints during the day, and no one came to throw themselves into the trap?
Logically speaking, there should be a few smart people coming here to join me tonight."
Qin Dewei actually wanted to find some helpers to help him compile a book, so he went to Keting today to show off, and even said in public that he would have a drink with Bachelor Zhang in the evening.
What I hope is that someone will take the initiative and come over after understanding the hint.
Zhang Xueshi sneered and said: "My Hanyuan Ci ministers are all about character. If we deliberately recruit colleagues for the sake of our future, we will fall behind!"
Who can be so humble and shameless to beg you? If you want to find help, the only way to do it is to go to Corporal Li Xian."
Before he finished speaking, a servant suddenly stood in the hall and reported: "Concubine Zhao Zhenji has come to visit!"
"Hahahaha!" Qin Dewei laughed a few times and said to Academician Zhang: "It turns out that you are from Neijiang. It seems that this is unacceptable!"
Shuchang is another name for Shujishi. Zhao Zhenji is from the same hometown as Zhang Xueshi, and was also the best man at the wedding of Qin Dewei in the same year.
Zhao Zhenji came in, bowed respectfully to Academician Zhang, and said: "Meet the teacher."
Looking up again, he couldn't understand why the teacher's face was so dark. He must be angry with Qin Dewei.
Before Zhao Zhenji could speak again, the servant came again and reported: "Concubine Xu Gu is waiting outside the door!"
Teacher Zhang suddenly felt better and sneered at Qin Dewei: "It seems that you Nanjing people are not willing to be inferior to others!"
As a result, these two people came in the evening, Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu. In fact, it was not that the others didn't understand the hint, but they still couldn't lose face.
Moreover, it is impossible for someone with a higher rank than Qin Dewei to compile a book under Qin Dewei. That would be shameless.
Only Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu had a special relationship with Zhang Xueshi and Qin Dewei. The teachers and students were from the same year and were from the same hometown, so they didn't care about this face.
Qin Dewei turned around and said to Bachelor Zhang: "You can know something by seeing the subtle things. From this, we can see that Teacher, you, the examiner, are really at a loss!
Of your disciples, if it weren't for my support on the list, there wouldn't be two or three who really have a future.
Except the one standing in front of you right now is Guo Pu."
Academician Zhang said doubtfully: "Why can't I see what's special about Guo Pu?"
Qin Dewei replied concisely and concisely: "The Qing Ci is well written!"
The four great Mesozoic poets of the Jiajing Dynasty, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei, Yan Na, and Li Chunfang, were of course a few years later.
Just two, there are more people and the credit is not enough. Qin Dewei discussed with Zhao Zhenji and Xu Gu for a while and assigned the tasks.
Although Bachelor Zhang will not participate in the compilation of the book, he will listen and give some advice.
Qin Dewei encouraged again: "Do it well! As long as you participate in compiling books, you will definitely be able to stay in the Hanlin Academy! Finish it early and get promoted early!"
Finally, Academician Zhang felt something was wrong and asked Qin Dewei: "I just told them about their tasks, checked the records, and repaired the old manuscripts. Then what do you do?"
Qin Dewei said confidently: "I am responsible for the overall control, that is, the proofreading, revision and copying of the final draft, but I am used to writing at home!"
There was no flaw in this statement, and the other three people didn't notice anything.
Late at night, Qin Dewei, Zhao Zhenji, and Xu Gu were saying goodbye on the street when they suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Following the sound, I saw a knight galloping past, heading towards the imperial city, and I didn't know what happened.
It wasn't until the next day that Qin Dewei went to inquire about the news and found out that it was the Nanjing Imperial Ancestral Temple that had suffered a fire.
This matter may be considered a big deal or a small matter. In fact, it has little impact on government affairs, but it must be taken seriously.
In the evening, Qin Dewei went to Master Xia's residence and played chess with the guest. He waited until Master Xia came back after dark before letting the miserable guest go.
"What's the matter with you?" Xia Yan asked strangely. This is out of character, and there has been nothing serious in the court in recent days.
Qin Dewei said straightforwardly: "I heard that the Nanjing Imperial Ancestral Temple was hit by a disaster, and the imperial court will definitely send an imperial envoy to Nanjing to offer sacrifices. Please recommend me to comfort my homesickness!"
Master Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qin Dewei would make any excessive demands that would be difficult for everyone to fulfill.
It would be better to let Qin Dewei go back to Nanjing for a while, so that he can feel a little more relaxed up and down.
Qin Dewei said seriously: "If anyone wants to hinder me, please tell me the list again!"
Master Xia really wanted to say: You really think too much. No one in the Manchu Dynasty wants to stop you from returning to Nanjing.
