Aunt Yun's words last night were like an enlightenment. Meng Xinghe woke up from a dream. In this era where monarchy is the dominant force, there is no paradise that is absolutely stable. If you really want to find peace, it is not the one who lives in seclusion in the mountains and spends his time in the mountains. Instead, as Aunt Yun said, she hides in the busy city. Standing at the pinnacle of power, letting the world fall under her feet. Therefore, if you want to be a plaything, just having a brain is not enough. You must also have something that makes the king afraid and dare not move. ability.
In this case, let's be a great hero in the prosperous times with great merit. Meng Xinghe is like suddenly enlightening the supreme Buddha Dharma under the bodhi tree. Now, he no longer thinks about such simple problems as Jiangdu and Chang'an. Instead, he only has one goal in his heart. .Just try to make a difference in the temple.
It's the same as when I wanted to take part in the imperial examination and speak out for the ancestors of the Meng family. When I have a direction in my heart, I will do it regardless of the cost. Only in this way can I live a clear life.
Meng Xinghe had already thought about the way to go next. Meng Xinghe didn't immediately show that he would fight tooth and nail. That's called the three-minute heat. Some things are done slowly and slowly, and a lot of preparations are made. Perhaps the process in the middle is preparation to achieve the goal in one go. After the palace examination For a few days, Meng Xinghe was still doing nothing and being an idle champion. Except for ordering his men to find a house, he was still lazy and didn't care about anything. When he had nothing to do, he went to the stable to drink and chat with the wretched old man. Then he read in the room. While sleeping, I would occasionally hear Aunt Yun happily playing two pieces of music. My life was also leisurely.
The purchase of the house was handled by people from the Long Gang. Not long after, Xue Rengui went to the Imperial College to tell Meng Xinghe that it had been done. Meng Xinghe accompanied him to have a look. It felt pretty good. It was not a very grand mansion. There were many pavilions and pavilions inside. Simple. It has a bit of a small bridge and flowing water atmosphere. It is similar to the Meng family's ancestral house in Mengjia Village. It seems that the people in the Long Gang also know the boss's hobbies in doing things. There is no extravagance or luxury and everything is simple.
Choosing a good day, Meng Xinghe moved into his new house and settled down in Chang'an. On the day of the move, Mr. Du, Mr. Fang and two old men from Zuolu Army suddenly came to Meng Xinghe's house. This made the original plan Meng Xinghe, who acted cheaply, was flattered and quickly prepared several tables of meals to entertain the old men.
I was busy until midnight when the lights were dimmed. I personally saw off a few old men. Meng Xinghe immediately lay back on a chair to rest. Aunt Yun, who had not come out to meet the guests just now, made a pot of good tea and brought it to Meng Xinghe after the guests left. There were only two of them in the house. There was no restraint. Their faces were full of love and care. They were like a little daughter-in-law hiding in the living room and working hard without complaining.
I couldn't stand this woman anymore. She was really a peony that I wanted to pick off. When Aunt Yun wasn't paying attention, Meng Xinghe stretched out a bear hug and held Aunt Yun in his arms. He leaned against her ear and whispered: "The four joys of life are over. Third, Xi Ruo. It’s a beautiful day today. Do you think we should have flowers and candles in the bridal chamber?” After saying this, Meng Xinghe had already kissed Aunt Yun’s blushing and intoxicating face. He really took advantage of what he said without delay. He even already There is a hidden feat of carrying a gun into the bridal chamber.
Being eaten secretly by him made Aunt Yun's whole body feel hot. She was really a little enemy. Ever since she didn't stop him from touching her, she became more and more courageous.
"Let go." Aunt Yun said as if she was angry: "If you don't let go, you will feel better later."
Although Meng Xinghe was not serious, he still knew when Aunt Yun said something. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of her.
Aunt Yun, who had escaped from the clutches of the devil, sat upright next to Meng Xinghe. "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the palace to compile history books. Although you are an inconspicuous official, it will inevitably attract some unnecessary things. So, today we Let’s make three chapters here.”
When Meng Xinghe heard this, he immediately felt distressed. What is the three-chapter agreement? He just wanted to find some reasons to restrict himself. How much trouble can a small historian like himself cause? "You say it, I will listen, and then we will slowly discuss and revise it." Meng Xinghe cleverly replied: This matter must be negotiated.
Aunt Yun glared at him. Once a gentle woman gets angry, it's a disaster. She didn't take Meng Xinghe's opinion into her heart at all. Aunt Yun solemnly said in an oppressive and must-accept tone: "You can talk to me Just talking. But if you violate it, I will move out of here immediately."
Upon hearing the threat, Meng Xinghe compromised and said: "Tell me, my aunt, you know that I can't live without you now, so you started to bully me. When that day I can also bully you, I will continue to do it." The capital will be recovered with interest."
Aunt Yun has become immune to seeing Meng Xinghe's scoundrels. What she wants to say is something that must be explained, so there is no room for retreat. She said: "From tomorrow on, you must abide by three rules. First, you must go home before sunset every day. .Second, you are not allowed to talk to the women in the palace."
"Wait. Wait." Meng Xinghe immediately interrupted: "The palace maid can't do it either."
Aunt Yun rolled her eyes at him. Obviously the palace maid could not do it anymore: "Third, you can't make friends with powerful people, and you can't indulge in wine and sex. Okay, these are the three things. As for the other things, I will tell you after I think about it."
Still not satisfied enough, Aunt Yun actually left room for "negotiation" at the end. She just didn't make Meng Xinghe half angry to death.
Career, money, women, men's goals, are all killed by these three overlord clauses. This woman has the potential to be a housekeeper. It is getting more and more dangerous. Unfortunately, who is Meng Xinghe? Don't talk about the overlord clauses. .Even if you put a knife to his neck, you will do whatever you have to do, and occasionally steal jade and fragrance, but you will still be unaware of it.
It makes no sense. Meng Xinghe answered very readily. In his heart, he had long regarded the clause as a fiction.
Aunt Yun naturally knows which clauses are useless to Meng Xinghe. If she says it, Meng Xinghe will listen to it. When she gets to the palace, she will restrain herself a lot. She is doing this just to remind someone.
In the early morning of the next day, a carriage had arrived outside the Meng Mansion. It was specially made to take Meng Xinghe into the palace. When Fang Xuanling came to congratulate him last night, he told Meng Xinghe that he would be asked to enter the palace today to compile a history book. Although this is a cumbersome matter But Meng Xinghe, who was already preparing to settle down in Chang'an, felt that he should treat his first job well.
After a quick breakfast and wearing a sky-blue official uniform, Meng Xinghe jumped on the carriage. The person in charge of leading the way was Wang Guinian. This Huangmen minister who was close to Meng Xinghe was not directly demoted from the Minister of Household Affairs because of Meng Xinghe. Being a little historian, he was hot and cold towards him. As soon as Meng Xinghe got in the car, he began to carefully introduce to Meng Xinghe the details that needed to be paid attention to when compiling history books in the palace.
Although the historical officials are small, the days are also leisurely. But there are a lot of truths that need to be learned. Among them, there is an unreasonable one. The historical books written because they are passed on to later generations.
Li Gui said good at the year: "Brother Meng may not be familiar with the system in the palace. In the palace, there are still books, middle books, and three provinces under the door.
Outside the office. There are also two major institutions of the secretary province and the provincial provincial provinces. The Year of the Turtle I am a provincial province to do the internal court service.
So this official department is usually relatively leisurely. The secretary of the secretary province has one person secretary supervisor. There are two young prisoners. The secretary Lang three people.
Better divide by more.
Revised writing. It should be in the Hanlin Academy in the east. I will take you over. But the brothers must remember it.
What should not be written. Master Fang will be reviewed by himself. Then it is handed over to the Holy Shangthe. In the past, there were a few new sciences and scholars who wrote a historical book. I had to write it accordingly.
But you have to learn from it. Be careful to get a thousand years of boats. Wait for a period of time in Hanlin Courtyard. You will learn everything. At that time, you do n’t forget my brother. "
"Thank you Brother Wang. Meng Xinghe wrote down!" Listening to Wang Gui Nian said so much. Meng Xinghe all remembered it in his heart. I didn't expect a small historian to keep so many rules. It seems that writing historical books.
Easy things.
During the talk. The two have come outside the Hanlin Academy. Wang Gui pointed in front of it. "Brother Meng. The front is the Hanlin Academy. I sent it here.
"Brother Wang walked slowly. He invited Brother Wang to drink again." Meng Xinghe walked to Hanlin Academy with Wang Gui Nian.
Entering the Hanlin Academy. There are hundreds of tall bookshelves in it. There is a thick book on it densely. Meng Xinghe visits it. No less than hundreds of thousands.
The old man who was White was sitting inside and whispered. They looked at it. Meng Xinghe couldn't bear to disturb. Meng Xinghe walked into the room. Just standing in front of a bookshelf picked up a book and read it.
When he was gathered together, when he was reading a book. From the other end of the bookshelf, he came out of a young man with his hands holding a thick book. The young man obviously saw Meng Xinghe, a stranger.
."
"Exactly." Meng Xinghe laughed and said "Who dares to ask who is brother."
"Brother Tai." The man laughed heartily. Obviously, he rarely heard this title. It was a bit humble: "Lower Li Tai."
"It turned out to be Brother Li." Meng Xinghe was familiar with people. This medium -sized man. The long one is also elegant. It is just a book of books.
It ’s amazing.
When the two were talking. Several old men responsible for practicing historical books heard the sound of the history books. I quickly came over and saw something. When I saw Li Tai and Meng Xinghe standing there.
I went to the Hanlin Academy to write a history book. I did not expect to be such a young man. Several old men glanced at each other. They were all thinking about it. What is the ability of this smelly and smelly kid. At a young age, there is a ability to write history books.
Test him. Several old men looked at each other. Among them, a highly respected old man came out. He touched his three-inch white beard and said tepidly: "You are Meng Xinghe."
"Exactly students." Meng Xinghe said respectfully: "I hope you will give me more advice in the future. Students are not very talented and have little knowledge. They know that the project of compiling history books is huge. If there are any shortcomings in the future, I would like to ask teachers to give you some advice."
It was a fateful meeting. Several old men were decades older than him. It was no big deal that Meng Xinghe was modest. On the contrary, it made his image a little closer in the eyes of several old men. I heard that this man was the top scholar in the golden field. Enter A place like Hanlin Academy must be full of complaints. I didn't expect it to be so peaceful. This person is neither sad nor happy, but he is suitable for writing history books.
However, rules are not humane. If you want to come to the Hanlin Academy to compile history books, you have to accept the assessment before entering. Otherwise, if you make any mistakes while compiling the books, it will be a crime of negligence.
"Meng Xinghe, we are going to conduct a series of assessments on you now. If you pass, you will be allowed to compile history books with the four of us in the Hanlin Academy. If you fail, then you will have to serve us tea and water in the future. You can't. Touch the ink pen on the historian's desk. Are you willing?" Instead of playing riddles with Meng Xinghe, they directly told them about the assessment. Mainly because the four old men had a good impression of Meng Xinghe, so they decided not to make things difficult for him.
Why should writing a book require assessment? Meng Xinghe didn’t know that there was such a rule in the Hanlin Academy. He said cautiously: “The student is willing.”
