Half a month passed quickly, and Gao Pragmatic came to the Hanlin Academy early that morning. This was a habit he had developed in his previous life. Unless he was already the top leader in the unit, he would insist on arriving early.
As for why he didn't leave too early after becoming the top leader, it was just to avoid making things difficult for others - if your top leader has arrived, but your subordinates haven't arrived yet, how can you ask your subordinates to behave? So when he was the top leader, he was used to arriving at work on time.
Today, Gao Pragmatic was the first one to come to the Prosecution Hall. The officials in the Prosecution Hall looked at each other and smiled. In the past, there were new Hanlins who were so diligent at the beginning, but after a while, they lost the energy and persisted.
There are not many. So they all bet privately on how long Gao Pragmatism can persist.
However, the official still diligently took the notebook and pen, Gao pragmatically and skillfully drew the numbers on it, and then sat back on the koan.
As soon as Gao pragmatic sat down, Liu He quickly came up to wipe the case for him. While doing so, he said politely: "Master Xiu Zhuan, what kind of tea do you want to drink? Our tea room has six or seven kinds of tea today."
Gao Pragmatic didn't know that this was specially arranged by Shen Shixing. He just regarded it as a routine and said calmly: "Dark tea, any variety."
"Okay, I have some good Pu'er today. I'll go get some for Mr. Xiu Zhuan. Do you want any other snacks?"
"No need for snacks." This was also Gao Pragmatic's habit in his previous life. At that time, he was overweight for a while in college. Later, when he joined the job and became a secretary, he felt that his image was not good, so he worked hard to lose weight. In addition to going out for brisk walking at night to exercise and swimming,
My dietary habits are mainly low in sugar and oil, and no snacks. Although I have not gained weight in this life, I have always been very self-disciplined.
Liu He quickly agreed, and then happily went to help Gao Jingshi serve tea. He already knew that Gao Jingshi had a great origin, and now he wished he could honor Gao Xiu Zhuan as his ancestor.
Gao pragmatically sat on the desk, and the sun shone through the window panes in the hall. It was still April, but the rising sun today was hot and dazzling, and you could feel a slight heat when you touched the koan with your hand.
In the past two days, he often secretly reminded himself not to think of himself as so different. Although the emperor was his classmate, the first assistant was his teacher, and the second assistant was his uncle, no matter what, he was now officially an official.
Just start everything again.
Being the number one scholar in six songs is a thing of the past, not to mention that Gao Pragmatic knows very well that few people like people who like to brag about "what I was like back then". So he would rather regard himself as a real official.
Newcomers, keep a low profile as much as possible, watch more, learn more and interrupt less.
Of course, this low-key can only be "as much as possible", because the General Secretary has already decided on the arrangements for compiling the Ming Dynasty Conference. No matter how much he hopes to keep a low profile, he has to do something.
In order to rebuild the Ming Dynasty canon, Gao pragmatically has already read the first draft revised by Sun Jigao and others in the past half month. In order to familiarize himself with the canons of the past dynasties, he also read a lot of classics, such as "Zhu Si Zhu", "
Needless to say, "Ancestral Instructions of the Ming Dynasty", "Collection of Rites of the Ming Dynasty", "Records of Filial Piety and Compassion", "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", "Da Gao", "Da Ming Order", "Hongwu Etiquette", "Etiquette Settlement", "
"Jigu Customization", "Jiaomin Bangwen", "Military Laws", etc. cannot be ignored.
Now, while no one was bothering him, he picked up a volume of "The Collection of Rites of the Ming Dynasty" and started reading it on the official case. Not long after, Liu He brought tea.
Gao pragmatically read more than a dozen pages while drinking tea, when Sun Jigao and Zeng Chaojie arrived.
Gao pragmatic stood up and saluted the two of them, and they both returned the salute politely. Zeng Chaojie looked at ease, while Sun Jigao had a look on his face, as if something good had happened to him.
There was only one subject between them and similar qualifications, so they sat relatively close to each other. Soon Gao Pragmatic heard Zeng Chaojie say to Sun Jigao with a smile: "Brother Yide, I am going to the inner book hall to teach, and I am so happy to be close to the inner court."
!”
Sun Jigao couldn't help but smile, and said politely in the spring breeze: "Hey, if there is anything to be happy about, it would be better for Luo Xiuzan to serve in front of the emperor first. That would be really gratifying and congratulatory."
At present, there is only one person named Luo Qie in the Hanlin Academy who is responsible for editing, and that is Luo Wanhua, the number one scholar in the second year of Longqing.
"Luo Xiuzhan spent twelve years in the Procuratorate before he got through. You are younger than him. It is only a matter of time before you serve in the Forbidden City. As for teaching in the inner library, it may not be much worse than serving in front of the Imperial Palace."
Sun Jigao smiled happily, nodded and said, "As long as you wish."
Gao Pangshi thought in his mind: It is not easy to select the historians from the compilers and editors at the Jingyan Banquet and the Japanese Officials, but it is different for the Inner Book Hall of Teaching and Learning. Four Hanlin scholars are selected from the history hall to be included in the inner book.
This is a good choice for officials and eunuchs, and it is indeed a good choice for the officials. Ten years later, if the eunuchs he taught become famous in the inner court, it will also be a bad choice for him.
Small help.
No wonder Sun Jigao did not feel resentful when he took time off from rebuilding the Great Ming Dynasty Code, but he did so to teach in the inner library.
Gao Jingshi somewhat understood that Chen Siyu would leave such an important matter as rebuilding the Ming Dynasty ceremony to himself as a newcomer. Although Sun Jigao expressed doubts at the time, he has become very calm these days. It seems that Chen Siyu must have given him the answer.
If you say hello, a better future is waiting for him.
Next, all the Hanlins came one after another. However, these Hanlins also had things to do. They were either going to the inner library to teach, or they were preparing to serve as scriveners for the Sutra Banquet. They all just went to work as officials and left in a hurry.
Yes, there were only about ten people in the history museum.
As for Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, as soon as they arrived at the Yamen, they first came to chat with Gao Jingshi for a few words, and then they didn't even bother to drink tea. They quickly sat down to read the history books, feeling as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
In fact, the most diligent people in the Inspection Hall these days, in addition to being highly pragmatic, are Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan. It seems that the two of them regard the matter of completing the Ming Dynasty Code and being directly promoted to the first level as a major opportunity.
But it’s no wonder. Generally speaking, when you first enter the Hanlin Academy, how can you get a chance to be promoted so quickly? You have to be pushed down by your superiors and sit on the bench for two or three years, which is called "training your mind", and then you can become serious.
The errands are handed over.
Of course, Gao Jingshi also knew that Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan's efforts may be partly due to themselves. Their abilities are obvious. They can get good results in the palace examination. How can they be easy people?
No matter what materials they compiled, they had already figured out some clues. Even when reviewing the first draft of the meeting, they found a few small mistakes. Chen Siyu also praised them.
But as another later "Wen Zhenggong" Zeng Guofan said: Those who have achieved great things since ancient times have one part ability, six parts destiny, and three parts support from nobles. Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan have the ability and destiny. It’s not bad, now I just need support from the nobles.
Both of them came from official families. Although their ancestors and fathers did not have high official positions, it was precisely because they did not have high official positions that they could better understand the importance of "noble support". This kind of thinking must have influenced them, so they Naturally, I will not give up leaving the best impression on the noble people around me.
Who is the noble person next to me? It’s not Chen Siyu, the director, but he is pragmatic and highly cultivated.
After a while, the official in charge of the inner hall suddenly came. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "The editor-in-chief Wang who is on duty in the east room today is seriously ill. I am not on duty today. Is there anyone who can take the place of the king who is on duty today?" Editing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six Hanlin present stood up and expressed their willingness to go.
Among the historians, only Gao Pragmatic, Xiao Liangyou, and Wang Tingzhuan sat still. Xiao Liangyou glanced at him and continued to immerse himself in reviewing the manuscript, obviously not interested, but Wang Tingzhuan glanced at Gao Pragmatic , smiled slightly, and continued to lower his head to flip through the book. Gao pragmatically looked at the Hanlin officials slightly, and then continued to lower his head to read.
Gao Pragmatic is naturally familiar with the cabinet. There are two subordinate rooms under it, namely the imperial imperial office and the imperial imperial office. The officials in the imperial palace can all be regarded as cabinet staff. The imperial imperial palace should read the following five Hanlin officials every day. After duty rotation, after writing the pardon, it has to be submitted to the cabinet for review. When you go to the pardon room for rotation, you can enter Wenyuan Pavilion and interact with cabinet ministers. No wonder these historians put down their matters and rush to go.
In the end, when the official ordered one person, the others looked depressed as they did not go. Apparently they felt that they had missed a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the elders.
Gao Pragmatic smiled secretly in his heart.
Why are these Hanlin officials vying to be full-time lecturers, teaching in the inner study hall, and rotating in the royal palace? Serving as full-time lecturers can get close to Tianyan, teaching in the inner study hall can become teachers and students of eunuchs, and rotating in the imperial palace can have the opportunity Gain the favor of the cabinet.
All the prosperity in the world is for profit, and all the turmoil in the world is for profit. The emperor is at the top, the eunuchs and the cabinet are at the bottom. The closer to the center of power, the greater the power.
Hanlin officials think all day about how to establish friendship with the emperor, the cabinet, and the eunuchs. Even if they don't have friendship, they still try to become familiar with each other, because the above are the steps for the officials to enter the cabinet in the future.
Where does the power of officials come from? It is granted by the emperor, and hundreds of officials serve the emperor to shepherd the people.
What about the power of officials? The official rank of officials is just a rule on the surface. If you are new to the officialdom and are still judging based on these numbers, you have not yet started.
The real rule is: the closer you are to the emperor, the more power you have. Every step closer to the emperor gives you more power.
If we want to make an analogy to modern officialdom, then the cabinet bachelor is just the emperor's secretary to put it bluntly. He is a confidential secretary, but in fact the cabinet is superior to all officials. Why? Isn't it because they are the closest among the civil servants? The emperor's?
As for eunuchs, they are nothing more than housekeepers, servants, drivers, and even life secretaries beside the emperor. But when the eunuchs are powerful, even the cabinet ministers have to look at their faces. Therefore, in the officialdom, foreign officials are not as good as Beijing officials, and Beijing officials are not as good as Hanlin officials. Officials, and among Hanlin officials, there is a big difference between those who can face the saints and those who cannot.
As soon as Luo Wanhua was promoted to an official position, everyone in the Hanlin Academy congratulated him. In the same year as an official in the capital, his fellow villagers also hurriedly became active and scrambled to meet Luo Wanhua. Even Chen Siyu, the head of the academy, wanted to give Luo Wanhua three points of face——
There is a high chance that a Japanese speaker will join the cabinet in the future.
Jingyan Lecturer and Japanese Lecturer are just positions. In the Hanlin Academy, bachelor's degree, scholar's degree, scholar's degree, lecturer's degree, even compilation and editing, logically speaking, can be held. It can be seen that the level of an official is never the highest.
important conditions.
The most important thing is that to serve as a Jingyan Lecturer or a Ri Lecturer, one must be invited by the cabinet. Therefore, after Luo Wanhua became a Ri Lecturer, the first thing he did was to go to the Cabinet to express his gratitude.
As an editor, Gao pragmatically has a chance to become a Japanese lecturer, and he can basically be promoted to the cabinet. However, he has errands on hand now, so he is not in a hurry.
As for Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, they did not want Gao Pragmatic to become a Japanese lecturer, because after becoming a Japanese lecturer, he would have to go to the Wenhua Palace to lecture and read for the emperor, except for visiting the Japanese during the Three, Six and Nine Dynasties.
The rest are all said, and if winter and summer are not separated, there will be much less opportunities for them to see high pragmatism in the future, and they think they have no chance to become Japanese lecturers so early.
Therefore, in their opinion, compiling the canons in a pragmatic way is the best situation at present.
