After Wang Zhongzheng left Beijing, Deng Wan and Zhang Dun also took up their posts in the academy.
Deng Wan was the censor Zhongcheng, and Zhang Dun was sentenced to military weapons supervisor. Both of them had part-time jobs. However, Zhong Yuan Jiang, the original Hanlin scholar, was sentenced to the third division. Only Zeng Bu, Wang Lian, and Zhang Yue did not have part-time jobs now.
In order to balance the power of Deng Wan and Zhang Dun entering the bachelor's academy, Han Jiang also appointed Yang Hui and Chen Yi as Hanlin bachelors.
After Yang Hui and Chen Yide became Hanlin bachelors, they caused a sensation.
Yang Hui and Chen Yi are both well-known and honest ministers. They have a very good reputation and popularity among officials. This shows that Han Jiang's method of employing people is to select officials with integrity rather than
For example, for a certain former husband and a certain current husband, those who were promoted were people affiliated with the party.
Just like when Han Qi and Fu Bi were appointed prime ministers, officials congratulated each other because they thought they had won people.
Promoting officials based on public opinion and promoting officials from above are completely two-tier employment styles. Han Jiang has been prime minister for less than a few months and brought a new atmosphere to the court. All officials praised him for his fairness in handling affairs.
However, including Yang Hui and Chen Yi, there are actually eight "Hanlin Bachelors" in the Bachelor's College, which is really overcrowded.
According to the rules, the Hanlin bachelors and the censor Zhongcheng and the three secretaries knew that Kaifeng Mansion was not allowed to serve in the palace, so Deng Wan and Yuan Jiang were not in the bachelor's academy.
But as long as the official name carries the number of the imperial edict, even if it is a judge, he still has the responsibility of writing the imperial edict.
After Yang Hui was admitted to the hospital, he was dismissed by the emperor as a Hanlin bachelor, because in the third year of Xining, Yang Hui had been appointed as a Hanlin bachelor and the imperial censor Zhongcheng. Due to a disagreement with Wang Anshi, he was dismissed from his post as the governor of Bozhou, and now he has returned to the Hanlin.
According to the order of admission to the Bachelor's College, he was awarded the title of Chengzhi Hanlin Bachelor.
This made Wang Lian, who had been fighting openly and secretly with Zhang Yue to become the bachelor of Chengzhi, as if a punch had failed. He tried every means to compete with Zhang Yue for the position of Chengzhi, and then waited for the chancellor, but Yang Hui was unable to
Turn into nothing.
In this way, the ranking of Hanlin Academy of Bachelor's Degree is Yang Hui, Zhang Yue, Wang Lian, Deng Wan and Zhang Dun at the bottom.
On the contrary, the most emotional person at the reception banquet was Yang Hui.
At the banquet, Yang Hui said to Zhang Yue: "When the Imperial College exams were held, Caiyuan (Li Dalin) and I were still your examiners, and now we go in and out of the Yutang together."
When the officials heard that Yang Hui was also the examiner of Zhang Yue's examination, they all thought that this was a grand event, and officials who liked to take notes as letters home could write this down.
Zhang Yue said a few words of humility. Thinking of the provincial examination, he was more impressed by another examiner, Li Dalin. When it came to the Sansheren incident, he and Su Song were demoted for opposing Li Ding's appointment as censor.
Seeing that everyone was interested, Yang Hui said to the people around him: "At that time, he was ranked third in the interpretation test, and Wang Junmin was ranked first. This man's articles are flashy, and everyone knows what will happen to him in the future. This man is greedy for wealth, and finally
Although his reputation was ruined, although his writings were not as good as his, his words were clear and convincing, and by observing people through literature, we can see that he was a man of honest character."
Yuan Jiang on the side smiled and said: "What Chief Han said is absolutely true."
Zhang Yueze said humbly: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
Yang Hui seemed to have a profound meaning here when he said: "We have been officials for a long time, and we all know that morality is the first priority. Some people take shortcuts, play with a little cleverness, and even betray relatives and betrayal. Even if their career is short-lived, they will not hesitate to do so."
It doesn’t matter if it goes smoothly, the reputation will be ruined.”
After Yang Hui finished speaking, some people were already looking at Zhang Dun, who was at the bottom of the ranking. Everyone present had heard about his rebellion with the Zhang Yue brothers.
Zhang Dun's behavior was unreasonable, and this was a matter of public opinion among the government and the public.
In the past, officials with such unreasonable conduct could not be promoted to bachelor's degree, but now everything has changed.
Yang Hui continued to say with traces of authenticity: "So for us, morality is the first priority, pursuing virtue is great wisdom, pursuing profit is not small wisdom, but will harm ourselves. Even if we suddenly ascend to a high position, we will still have to go down. This
It means climbing high and falling heavy.”
"I cannot agree with the commander's opinion."
Zhang Dun, who ranked last, drank a glass of wine and said: "I believe that the first priority for an official is talent. The emperor entrusts me with state affairs. The most important thing is to run the state affairs well. Otherwise, no matter how good my moral articles are, what can I do?
Can it share the country's worries? Can it relieve the country's worries? Can it help all people's lives?"
"But if everything is not done well, it is just empty talk. It only makes people laugh at morals. In my opinion, the only hero in the past is Cao Mengde. Only he knows that meritocracy can be done."
Everyone thought that this was Zhang Zihou's style. If he had to fight back face to face, he would never give anyone a chance to be weird.
Just now when he heard Yang Hui criticizing Sang and Huai, Zhang Dun didn't know that the other party was praising Zhang Yue with one hand and belittling himself with the other.
Yang Hui smiled and had no intention of quarreling with Zhang Dun.
Zhang Yueze said: "I cannot agree with Zihou's opinion. I think that a gentleman hides his lack of splendor and becomes more and more obvious, while a villain shows his excitement and fades away day by day."
"A gentleman is content and peaceful, and waits for the water to fall into place. A villain, on the other hand, does not practice internally or externally. He does everything he wants to do, takes risks, and seeks success by luck. If he does not succeed for a while, he will become crazy."
"Therefore, even if a gentleman is mediocre in talent, he can sail a ship of ten thousand years, while if a villain is outstanding, his ship will capsize sooner or later (Note 1)."
After everyone heard this, the two brothers Zhang Yue and Zhang Dun found it interesting to quarrel.
Zhang Yue acts like planting a tree, waiting for it to grow tall and lush one day, but Zhang Dun is eager to see success, and will rush to plant it before it ripens and falls.
Faced with Zhang Yue's provocation, Zhang Dun did not fight back. Instead, he sat down and drank another glass of wine, as if he was unwilling to bully the younger ones.
When Zeng Bu saw that Zhang Dun had just been admitted to the hospital, the two brothers started fighting and thought for a while.
This time, during the market change, the emperor ordered Zhang Dun to investigate, and Zhang Dun made a decision in favor of Lu Huiqing, which ruined Zeng Bu's reputation.
Even in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Zeng Bu still firmly stood by Zhang Yue. What's more, Zhang Yue also saved his career.
Zeng preached: "Chief Han, use long-term benefits and short-term benefits, and use urgency and slowness. Compared with gentlemen and villains, it is refreshing. Sometimes villains are not bad, but anxious, waiting to see success immediately.
That’s why people do bad things with good intentions.”
Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zeng Bu.
Seeing that a dispute was about to break out, Yuan Jiang smiled and smoothed things over and said: "In my dream when I was young, a god once told me: 'When I become a Hanlin bachelor in the future, I need several brothers to be in the Hanyuan together.'
Yuan thought he had no brothers, so he suspected that this dream was not the case. Later, in addition to becoming a bachelor, I also entered the bachelor's courtyard. Han Chiguo (Han Wei), whose name has the character "Xi", and Chen Shuhe (Chen Yi), also has the character "Xi".
The character, Deng Wenyue (Deng Wan), also has a family character, as well as the element of Han Chang (Yang Hui). Together with Jiang, there are five people in total, who began to understand the theory of brothers in dreams."
Everyone laughed when they heard what Yuan Jiang said. It is really rare that all five Hanlin people have the same character in their names.
Yuan Jiang said: "We are all admitted to Hanyuan. Not all brothers should be brothers. Who will be the prime minister in the future? If we don't forget our brothers, we should also promote each other. I wonder what you think?"
Everyone laughed but said nothing, and there were many conflicts among them, so there was no talk of mutual promotion.
Yang Hui smiled and said: "What you are saying is, how many of the eight people present here can be in power in the future, and how many can be prime ministers?"
