After the official appointed Yang Hui as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he took the first bachelor's seat, followed by Zhang Yue, Wang Lian, Chen Yi, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dun in the academy.
After Zhang Dun arrived at the academy, the Academy made arrangements for Su Zhi, but one thing surprised everyone. It turned out that after Zhang Dun arrived at the hospital, he refused to accept the money for refining his pen. One day, other officials offered him money for writing imperial edicts, but Zhang Dun refused.
What did the other party think, and insisted that Zhang Dun accept it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dun actually hung the writing fee directly on the beam.
After several court officials heard about this, they immediately reported it to Yang Hui. Yang Hui looked at the anxious expressions of these court officials and said several bad things about Zhang Dun with added jealousy. He knew that they had no good impressions of Zhang Dun at all.
Because the refinishing fee was divided between the top and bottom, not only the Hanlin bachelors, but also the academic officials had their own benefits. Zhang Dun refused to accept it, which made them dissatisfied and cut off each other's financial resources.
Yang Hui immediately summoned Zhang Dun for questioning. Yang Huizi said: "Although Hanlin bachelors have a distinguished status, they do not have salary if they do not have part-time jobs, so the official salary is not high."
"Yang Danian, the eldest brother of Zihou's hometown, wrote a poem to mock himself. He was a follower of the hypocritical Ganquan, but in the end he became the ghost of Ruo Ao. The follower's disease must not be revived, and Fang Shuo is hungry and wants to die."
"Therefore, the late emperor favored Hanlin scholars and allowed them to accept the fees for polishing their pens. What's the controversy about this?" Zhang Dun said: "Of course I know this, but Hanzhang, when Wang Xianggong was appointed Hanlin bachelor in the second year of Xining, decided to abolish this bad practice. At that time, Wang Xianggong and other Hanlin scholars refused to accept polished pens. Why is this practice still prohibited today?" The officials spoke for Yang Hui one after another: "Who is Wang Xianggong? He is an irrational person, otherwise he would not have given up his post. Without this writing fee, how can the whole Hanyuan family live?" Zhang Dun scolded: "How many of us are talking? What qualifications do you have to talk?" Yang Hui said: "Zhang Zhi has something to say." Zhang Dun said Said: "Wang Xianggong wanted to get rid of the current malpractice in the academy because after Xining, Hanlin bachelors all had part-time jobs. Therefore, Wang Xianggong thought that since Hanlin bachelors all had part-time jobs, it was unreasonable to take the writing fee, so he took the initiative to return the money. I want to set an example.”
"But Zu Zezhi, the bachelor, accepted this writing fee. What will happen to Zu Zezhi in the future? Doesn't the commander know?" Several Hanlin officials in the academy do have part-time jobs. For example, Zhang Yue's part-time job is to serve as a bachelor. This is considered a rare person. It seems that Yuan Jiang's position as the third envoy made even more money.
Yang Hui saw Zhang Dun couldn't help but said: "If you want to do it, do it yourself, and don't spare others in the future." Zhang Dun saluted and said, "Thank you so much, Commander." Yang Hui was angry in his heart, Zhang Dun was so angry How the Hanlin bachelor received money after the election simply offended his authority.
Yang Hui immediately sent court officials to discuss with Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue was attending the chariot at this time, so the court officials told Peng Jingyi exactly what happened and Yang Hui's attitude.
It was also the reason why Zhang Yue was willing to spend money. The officials in the hospital were very attentive to Zhang Yue, and any news was conveyed to him immediately.
After Peng Jingyi understood it, he reported it to Zhang Yue who returned to the Bachelor's College after the Jingyan period. There was a conflict as soon as Zhang Dun was admitted to the hospital, which Zhang Yue expected.
It's just that Zhang Dun, as the lowest-ranked Hanlin scholar in the academy, not only provoked Yang Hui, the leader of the Hanlin bachelors, but also challenged the established rules, which really surprised him.
To be honest, he didn't like this ugly rule about retouching fees. In fact, not all of this money is given to the officials. Most of it is divided up and down by the court officials. Even the grooms get a share. If the money is too small, they will be unhappy, not try their best in small things, and even pass the Hanlin bachelor's degree small talk.
Can this dignified Hanlin scholar still act based on the expressions of the officials? However, among the many Ren Hanlin bachelors, no one challenged this rule. After all, no one wanted to cause trouble. This position was only one step away from being in power. No one could find happiness for a few small coins.
Peng Jingyi said: "Brother Dun lives up to his name, and his actions are unpredictable. I met him in Hanyuan the day before yesterday, and I didn't expect that he would still remember me." Peng Jingyi and Zhang Yue were the second generals of Hengha in the private school, and they were no less. Being naughty and causing trouble in their respective families.
"Brother Dun didn't give me a good look back then. Speaking of which... If you, Sanlang, had been like that later, Brother Dun probably wouldn't have hated you and me so much." Zhang Yue glanced at Peng Jingyi, Everyone thought they saw the emperor's uncle changed his mind after being expelled from school, but in fact... Zhang Yue said to Peng Jingyi: "Peng Da, sometimes the more difficult the family is, the people who harm you are often not outsiders but members of your own family."
"I came from a poor family to seek an official position. I know how difficult this road is, but no matter what, I shouldn't blame my family!" After saying this, Zhang Yue walked to Yang Hui's room and the two met. .
Yang Hui then told him about Zhang Dun. Zhang Yue saw that Yang Hui was angry and said, "Zhang Zihou acted on his own without reporting to Ming Han. It's really inappropriate." After a while, Zhang Yue said, "This is Zhang Zihou. Loves to stir things up.”
"But now the academicians in the bachelor's college are really lacking in discipline. On the surface, they seem to be submissive. They do whatever we bachelors say, but they only do it after we say it. If we don't say it, we don't do it. In fact, they are arrogant and neglectful."
"There are even some old officials who can't do anything, but they say weird things even if their writing fees are even less." Yang Hui was convinced when he heard this. Every government office has its problems, and Hanlin Academy is no exception.
How difficult it is to radically reform the administration of officials. Yang Hui sighed: "It's true that these court officials are too well-known and familiar with things. But how to get rid of them?" Zhang Yue said: "How many of us are doing this, no matter who it is, it will offend others, but As long as this matter gets serious, Zhongshu will definitely intervene. If Zhongshu is asked to make arrangements by then, will the officials still be in trouble with Zhongshu?" Yang Hui heard this and said: "It's better to be good at dealing with it. Planning. But it was Zhang Zihou's advantage, and the reputation of getting rid of bad habits was taken away from him." Zhang Yue smiled and said: "In the future, Zhang Zihou will be benevolent and will be benevolent, and hammer will be hammered. This is also his destiny. For example, Wang Isn't it the same with Xianggong?" Yang Hui said: "What I'm saying is that at first I was on good terms with Xianggong Wang, but later when he became the country's leader, I thought it would be inappropriate to write down the Ten Defects."
"Now that I think about it, my words were too passionate. Wang Xianggong's reforms have disadvantages and advantages, but the disadvantages are greater than the advantages. Only those who come later can comment." Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this and said: "Mr. Yang is not satisfied with his predecessors." What is the practical method Lu Xianggong mentioned a few days ago?" Yang Hui said: "That's right. This practical method allows people to report every inch of soil, chickens, dolphins and livestock in their homes. If there is anything hidden, someone can report it and report it. Rewarding one-third of the seized assets, how is this different from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's method of suing?" What Yang Hui said was a very controversial new law proposed by Lu Huiqing today.
The main content of this actual law is to strictly declare the property of the people. Every chicken and duck must be reported to the court. Once someone conceals anything and is reported, the informer will be rewarded with one-third of his property.
Zhang Yue knew that Yang Hui did not miss Wang Anshi's kindness, but thought that one crab was not as good as one crab.
