When Xu He came outside, he saw Zhang Lan's servant standing in the courtyard with his hands lowered, waiting for Xu He intently.
"What did Bachelor Zhang want you to do with me?"
The man replied: "Reporting to Xu Xu, Lord Zhang, please go back to discuss the banquet!"
The so-called Jingyan Banquet refers to the imperial lectures specially set up by emperors since the Han and Tang Dynasties to discuss the classics and history.
Starting from the former Song Dynasty, it was called "Jingyan", and the lecturers were appointed Hanlin bachelors.
Every year, February to Dragon Boat Festival and August to Winter Solstice are the lecture periods. On odd days, the lectures and readings are given in turn.
In the Wei Dynasty, after the prince came out of the palace, there were also rules for holding sutra banquets.
In the Wei Dynasty, the most important job of the bachelor's degree students and lecturers of the Hanlin Academy was to serve as lecturers at the Sutra Banquet and give lectures to the emperor.
However, those who did not even go to court as the Zhengzheng Emperor would just listen to the scripture banquet.
Xu He suspected that it was Yu Ji's method, but after all, he could not offend his superiors at the Hanlin Academy.
In the former military governor's mansion, he could rely on his status as Prince Consort and a civil servant to kill everyone without any scruples.
But in the Hanlin Academy, if you offend your colleagues, your reputation will be ruined and you will no longer be an official.
After thinking about this, Xu He nodded and said, "Okay, you can tell Bachelor Zhang that I will be there soon!"
The visitor said: "Please go quickly, Bachelor Xu, the other bachelors are waiting for you!"
"Got it!" Xu He waved his hand and turned to Yu Ji and said, "Uncle, can I come over then?"
Yu Ji was still angry, turned around and said with a "hum": "I'm exhausted, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants carried the sedan to Yu Ji's side.
Yu Ji glanced at Xu He before getting on the sedan, and finally left without saying anything.
Seeing that Yu Ji was gone, Xu He called Ding Ze and said, "What about Wang Xuedao?"
"Still in your mansion!"
"Walk!"
Returning to the public house again, looking at Wang Xuedao with a bruised nose and swollen face, Xu He moved the tea cup and said: "It's the king's business, does it hurt?"
Wang Xuedao lowered his head and said nothing, obviously furious.
Xu He smiled slightly: "You are going to do two things. One is to take care of Luo Qingxiao's matter. The customs are all closed. Why are you stuck?"
Wang Xuedao raised his head and glanced at Xu He, and said expressionlessly: "Yes, Mr. Experience!"
Xu He nodded: "The second thing is, keep an eye on my experience department! If anything goes wrong at all, I will kill you! Do you hear me?"
Xu He didn't speak harshly, but these two simple sentences made Wang Xuedao feel chilled.
This time, he was not angry anymore, and begged in a trembling voice: "Sir, please let me go!"
"What does this mean?" Xu He became interested.
Wang Xuedao said in a trembling voice: "I, I know what the Lord wants to do. This, you really can't touch this. If you touch it, something will happen. Don't talk about me. Even if you are the Lord... you will die without a burial." Of the land!”
"Shut up!" Ding Ze was furious.
Xu He stretched out his hand to stop him from talking, and said to Wang Xuedao in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I don't want you to do anything. You just need to help others as usual, and help me take good care of this experience department!"
"But……"
Before he could get the results, Xu He stood up and said, "If you have anything to do, come to my house to see me tonight. No matter how difficult it is, just trust me and I will keep you safe!"
Wang Xuedao looked at Xu He blankly after hearing this. Until Xu He left, he remained motionless and stared at the door.
……………………
Inside the Hanlin Academy!
As soon as Xu He arrived, it was rare for four bachelor's degree students and four bachelor's degree lecturers to gather together.
Gu Shouyuan and Zhang Tengxiao smiled slightly at Xu He who entered.
Others bowed their hands and saluted!
Xu He first saluted Zhang Lan, then Gu Shouyuan, and finally Zhang Tengxiao and others.
There is a rule here.
Logically speaking, teachers are respected, and Xu He should bow to Gu Shouyuan first.
But Gu Shouyuan was just a tutor for the examination in another country, so in this situation, the venerable person should be given priority.
Zhang Lan is the actual head of the Hanlin Academy, and Xu He's etiquette was done perfectly.
When everyone sat down, Zhang Lan smiled and said: "Liang Sonar, you have too many things going on. I haven't seen you for a few days!"
Xu He quickly stood up and said: "There are indeed some things these days. I will ask for leave from Bachelor Zhang in person next time~~~~"
Zhang Lan smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, no, don't think it's me ordering you. In fact, who doesn't know now that you have three jobs. Although you only have two substantive jobs, you are running on both sides of the former Military Governor's Office and the Hanlin Academy. It’s troublesome enough!”
Xu He was not sure what Zhang Lan meant, so he smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Zhang Lan said: "August is coming soon, and this is how I have arranged this scripture feast!"
"Mingshan!"
Gu Shouyuan stood up and held his hands.
"Sit down, sit down!" Zhang Lan laughed: "You are responsible for teaching "Shang Shu" and "Tongjian"!"
"Yes!" Gu Shouyuan handed over his hand.
"Tengxiao, you should be in charge of "Etiquette"!"
…
Once the arrangements were made, Xu He thought that Zhang Lan had called him back specifically to arrange a lecture on "Poetry".
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lan looked at Xu He and smiled slightly, but his eyes turned to the head of another lecturer, Bachelor Hu, and said: "Master Hu, I will ask you to take charge of the "Poetry"!"
After the meeting, Zhang Lan found Xu He: "Shine the sonar! Do you have any ideas about the arrangement I just made?"
Xu He was already convinced at this time that Zhang Lan must have been entrusted by someone to transfer him out of the former military governor's mansion.
He was unhappy in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "I am a newcomer to the Hanlin Academy. I don't know enough and I still have to learn from my seniors. How can I lead a lecture on scriptures? Bachelor Zhang must not say it is a joke!"
Zhang Lan was very satisfied with his self-awareness, nodded and said: "Liangsheng, your knowledge is definitely enough, but Bachelor Hu will be leaving the school in two years, so give seniors a chance!"
Xu He smiled slightly and nodded.
The two laughed a few more words, and then Zhang Lan left.
Xu He was about to go to Zhang Tengxiao's house when he passed by Gu Shouyuan's house and saw him standing at the door and looking at him.
Xu He understood the idea and turned to Gu Shouyuan.
As soon as he sat down, Gu Shouyuan said, "Did you go to the former military governor's mansion today?"
Xu He said in surprise: "How does the teacher know?"
Gu Shouyuan frowned and said, "I saw the servants of Yanzhou Uncle's Mansion coming to Zhang Lan. After a while, Zhang Lan informed me to discuss the banquet!"
"According to the rules, the banquet matter only needs to be discussed four or five days in advance before being submitted to the cabinet for review at the end of July. This time he..."
Halfway through his words, Gu Shouyuan waved his hand and said, "Any idea?"
"Yes, we found Yong..."
Before Xu He finished speaking, Gu Shouyuan interrupted: "Don't tell me, you must be careful about this matter. The other party can recruit Zhang Lan, which is quite powerful. Let's start with the relationship between Yanzhou Bo and Zhang Lan!"
"Teacher, I think so too!" Xu He nodded.
After coming out of Gu Shouyuan's place, Xu He couldn't help but leave as soon as he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, so he called Ding Ze and asked him to take two people to ask Guo Zhu about Zhang Lan's background.
Why would Zhang Lan listen to a general's orders?
Ding Ze nodded and quickly took the people there.
Xu He didn't see Ding Ze come back when he waited until Sanya. Guo Zhu must have been guarding Guo Mansion until evening every day, so he got in the car and followed Zhang E back to the Princess Mansion first.
At night, Ding Ze finally came back.
Xu He quickly asked: "Have you found out?"
"Found out!"
