Back to the hall of the west pavilion, the luggage has almost been moved.
This is a small independent courtyard, and in the courtyard is the Bachelor's Pavilion. It is said to be a Bachelor's Pavilion, but it is actually just a three-bay hut.
From the chilling White Tiger Festival Hall to this simple three-bay hut, it felt like I had gone round and round and returned to the original place.
Officials of different levels in the Bachelor's College have their own accommodation specifications. For example, in the Bachelor's College in southwest China, they live in a room per person.
In Confucius Academy and Chushi Academy, each official has a desk, and there is not even a desk.
It's quite like an office building, where part-time workers sit in a cubicle, the boss has an office, and the boss lives in a suite.
The second bachelor's hall is the suite. The central one is where guests are treated, the one to the east is reserved for Zhang Yue to rest on weekdays, with tables placed inside, and the one to the west is where his entourage waits for orders.
.
Among Zhang Yue's disciples, Li Kui was preparing for the imperial examination, Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong were illiterate.
So Peng Jingyi and Huang Haoyi stayed in the Academy to help him deal with some things. By the way, Huang Haoyi's elder brother and Zhang Dun's brother-in-law Huang Haoqian was recommended by Cai Que to supervise the censor Li Xing.
Cai Que introduced Huang Haoqian to Zhang Yue a few days ago.
After Zhang Yue entered, Peng Jingyi had arranged everything.
There is a large table and viewing platform in the center. Behind the table are more than twenty wooden cabinets filled with manuscripts. In front of it are several chairs with backrests.
Peng Jingyi made tea for Zhang Yue, and then asked the courtyard officials to tidy up the two rooms. Huang Haoyi stood aside and joked with Peng Jingyi.
The three of them are all from the same hometown of Jianzhou, and sometimes they use hometown slang that has a different meaning.
Zhang Yue sat behind the eucalyptus and enjoyed this moment.
Compared with the days when we had 100,000 troops on Xihe Road, where we were constantly on guard and walking on thin ice, now that we have returned to the capital, our burden is lighter.
Xihelu is an incompetent general who has exhausted all three armies. The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians depend on his hands. If he can't do well in the capital, the worst he can do is be an outsider.
Sometimes I think that if Zhang Yue had not been an official and was just an ordinary scholar, he would have lived in poverty and been scolded by his wife for being poor every day. But the advantage is that no one knows you, there are no social activities, and there is no need to drink. All the time
It's myself.
In this way, I can read some books and chat with a confidant like Senior Brother Guo, and this life will be enough.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue felt that he was a bit pretentious. Now that he had taken this position, why did he envy the life of ordinary people Xianyun Yehe?
Now in the Academy of Sciences, being an official is even more difficult and cautious than before. The capital is not as good as Xihe, and the emperor in the northwest is no different from the emperor in the land.
But in Bianjing, no matter how high the official position is, there will always be someone higher than you. Even if you are an official, you still have to watch the faces of the empress dowagers of the two palaces carefully.
But as the lady said, if you don't implement your political views, align your political ideals with the development of the country, and dare not let go of everything, then your career as an official will be in vain.
What's there to be afraid of?
I am an upright Jinshi, and I am the number one scholar appointed by Emperor Renzong and the Imperial Imperial Examiner, and I have supported Emperor Yingzong and his son. What should I be afraid of?
At this time, the court official asked Zhang Yue: "Qi Duanming, would you like to hang some words in the hall?"
"good."
Zhang Yue thought for a while and immediately picked up a pen and ink to write a few words on the paper.
The court officials on the side looked at it and saw that what Zhang Yue wrote was.
It is better to repay kindness in the market than to repay kindness; it is better to tolerate shame than to be resentful. It is better to seek fame than to flee for fame; to be pretentious is not as good as to be honest and truthful.
The court official first read the calligraphy and praised: "Duanming is really a good calligrapher. No wonder Yu Duanming's calligraphy in Bianjing City is hard to find. Good, really good!"
Immediately, the court official read the poem again: "These words and sentences are good, they are peaceful and far away. The little man is hanging on the wall here."
Zhang Yue said to the court official: "There is no need to hang it here, just hang it in the room where I rest."
The court official was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that the character Zhang Yue was not meant for others to see.
Zhang Yue looked at the expressions of the court officials and found it funny.
There is a joke that seven out of ten companies will go bankrupt if they say "Houde Zaiwu". If "Houde Zaiwu" is paired with the words "God rewards those who work hard," the failure rate will reach 90%.
Because this gift of kindness and virtue, God rewards those who work hard, is for me to see. If it is shown to others, then the gift of virtue is like being hit and scolded, not retaliate. God rewards those who work hard, and I will be involved in death.
Fuck you.
The court official asked in a low voice: "What other utensils does Duan Ming need?"
Zhang Yue said: "No need."
When the officials looked at Zhang Yue's luggage, they saw that the luggage and utensils he brought were extremely ordinary. They were almost the same as those used by scholars. There were no luxuries at all. Who would have thought that this man was a nobleman in front of the emperor, a dignified Hanlin bachelor, and a former scholar.
What about one of the princes?
The officials thought to themselves that they often heard that this Bachelor Zhang was an upright official and did not lose his character from a humble family, so he was afraid that flattery would be useless, so he had to work sincerely to please him.
Thinking of this, the court official immediately withdrew.
After a while, an official came in and invited Zhang Yue to have dinner in the Privy Council.
Why did Zhang Yue go to the Privy Council instead of having a meal in the Bachelor's College? It turns out that this was a rule left over from the Five Dynasties.
Because the power of the prime minister was too great in the late Tang Dynasty, the Privy Council and the Hanlin Academy were established to divide the power of the prime minister. At that time, the Privy Council was also a bachelor of the Jinluan Palace.
By the time of the Five Dynasties, the Privy Council had the most power, and the prime ministers had to listen to the wishes of the Privy Council. Therefore, in order to limit the power of the Privy Council, and at the same time for supervision, Duanming Palace Bachelors and Privy Direct Bachelors were selected from Hanlin bachelors in the Five Dynasties.
The Privy Council serves as civil servants.
The bachelors of Duanming Palace and the Privy Council bachelors were the emperor's confidants and could see the emperor at any time. They also traveled to foreign countries to participate in the decision-making of the Privy Council.
In the Song Dynasty, the status of the Privy Council declined, and the bachelors of Duanming Palace became idle.
However, the rules of attending meals in the Privy Council Hall remain.
Zhang Yue, Huang Haoyi and Peng Jingyi went out and arrived at the Privy Council.
As the second-largest government office in the world, the Privy Council has towering trees and several inconspicuous rooms located in it.
When the officials of the Privy Council met Zhang Yuezhi, he was the new bachelor of Duanming Palace. Everyone knew that Zhang Yuezhi was the son-in-law of the dignitary Privy Councilor, so they respectfully introduced him into the hall.
Zhang Yue entered the hall and saw that the Privy Council envoys Chen Shengzhi, Wu Chong, Privy Council deputy envoy Cai Ting and Privy Councilor Zeng Xiaokuan had already arrived, and the court officials were bringing soup and vegetables.
Zhang Yue met with several Privy Council officials.
Chen Shengzhi smiled and said: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Zhang Yue thought he was late and was about to apologize, but Chen Shengzhi said: "When I first met you in the village, I knew that you were destined to be rich and noble. Now you have fulfilled your wish."
Except for Cai Ting, everyone present was from Fujian.
Chen Shengzhi, Zhang Yue and Wu Chong were all from Jianzhou.
Wu Chong on the side smiled and said: "As for whether you are rich or not, from now on it will be up to the elder to take care of you."
Chen Shengzhi smiled at Wu Chong and said, "You and I don't speak the same language. Come, sit down and talk!"
