Gao Jingshi didn't know anything about the dissatisfaction of the Hanlin officials with Gao Jingshi, because he had a careful meal with the emperor yesterday and then went to write "Longwen Whip Shadow" in silence.
Since it was generally necessary to write in Taige style in this case, I wrote very slowly. Although it was only a little over two thousand words, I almost finished it in the middle of the night. After all, Taige style is a kind of regular script. When writing, it only needs to be upright and respectful, horizontally and vertically, and neatly. The highest standard is to write like the printing style of later generations. Therefore, the difficulty lies in cultivating the mind - most people write When writing articles, most of them are relatively decent at the beginning, but the more you write at the end, the more sloppy they become. This is what is called insufficient cultivation of the mind, and you cannot be as calm as before and after.
The level of pragmatic self-questioning and mental cultivation is also average, but after all, the situation this time is special, and I have to remind myself not to mess up, not to rush... So it took almost midnight to completely get it done.
This morning, he had to get up early and rush back to Gaofu, so he had no idea that the Hanlin Academy was dissatisfied with him as a nominal official. So when he got the personal identification, official seal, waist badge and other things to prove his identity and rushed to the Hanlin Academy, he suddenly felt——
Why is this place so deserted?
Although the Hanlin Academy itself is indeed a Qingshui Yamen, the situation presented to Gao Pragmatic is still a bit strange: there are not even a few living things in the entire Hanlin Academy, only a few Zaoli servants walking around, and few wearing official robes. personal.
Gao pragmatically entered the Hanlin Academy with his waistband, and wandered around in confusion for a while before finally seeing a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a seventh-grade official uniform flash past his eyes. Gao Qingshi, who was unable to find a way out, quickly went up and called out: "Mr. Editor, please stay!"
The official turned around, glanced at Gao Pangshi expressionlessly, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Who are you, calling me sir?"
Gao Jingshi was stunned when he heard this. He thought that calling him sir is an honorific title. This is not one of those TV dramas without common sense. Shouldn't I call you "sir"?
But the slander is a slander. Now that I have something to ask for from someone, I still have to accompany him with a smile, so he politely said: "Although the boy has little virtue and talent, he also knows that "Mencius Gaozi Xia" said: Song Mian will be Chu. , Mencius met in Shiqiu and said, "What will you do, sir?" Later Zhao Qi made a note: "The man who is a bachelor is older, so he is called sir." Today, the gentleman is walking in the Hanlin in official uniform. He must be a bachelor, and he is older than There are many boys, so I call him sir as a sign of respect."
After hearing this, the Hanlin officer's expression softened a lot and he nodded: "In that case, what do you want?"
Gao Pangshi was a little surprised when he heard this. It stands to reason that a child like him actually ran into the Hanlin Academy. Shouldn't the first thing you said when you saw me be ask: "Which family are you from, and why are you here?" Why don't you ask directly? What happened to me?
But since people don't ask, they are pragmatic and too lazy to do anything, who knows if these Hanlin officials are out of touch with their studies and their brain circuits are not normal at all? So I followed him and answered: "The young man who entered Xinzheng Gao was a pragmatic young man at the end of his studies. He was lucky enough to study with the prince. He was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Today he received a petition badge and came here to see the bachelor of the academy. I have never been here before. I've passed here and don't know the way, so I take the liberty to ask you sir... I wonder what your name is, sir?" After that, he bowed.
"Hmph." The Hanlin official raised his chin slightly and replied dryly: "I am Zhao Zhigao, editor of the Hanlin Academy. My courtesy name is Rumai and my nickname is Liyang."
Gao Pingshi was taken aback, and he quickly bowed again and said, "I don't know if it's Mr. Huyang who is looking for flowers in front of me, but I'm disrespectful."
He said this, but he said to himself: Damn it, the first time I came to the Hanlin Academy, I met Zhao Zhigao, who was also the person who later served as the chief minister. However, isn't it said that Zhao Zhigao is "soft and cowardly, and is looked down upon by the court officials"? Why do I look at him like this? When he talks, his eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not a nose. He just has to hang a banner on his face and write four letters. Does it look like "I'm very cool" in big letters? Is this an error in historical records, or is his brother having a bad temper due to menopause?
Zhao Zhigao didn't know Gao Pragmatic's slander. Instead, because of his thorough etiquette, he felt a little relieved and said calmly: "You're welcome, Gao Shidu. Although you have no rank, you are a fake bachelor after all. In all calculations, you are still at the top." .”
That’s what happened!
Gao Pangshi was self-satisfied, thinking that this old boy only passed the Jinshi examination at the age of forty-four. Although he was born in a first-class class and went directly to the Hanlin Academy to teach editing, after all, Hao Shou Qiong Jing has only been a mess for most of his life. He is a seventh-grade official, but he, a young boy with no reputation, can actually be named as a bachelor, which would make anyone else feel annoyed.
Since it's understandable, don't be obedient when you get an advantage, so Gao Jingshi quickly explained: "Mr. Huyang is joking, the boy has little virtue and talent, so how can he be considered a servant? In fact, to put it bluntly, he is just a book boy for His Highness the Crown Prince. This title of attendant is because His Majesty felt that although the boy was just a companion, he was still considered a close minister of His Highness the Crown Prince, so he gave it this title, so as not to lose the prince's face by telling it... It cannot be taken seriously, it must not be taken seriously. .”
Seeing Gao Zhigao's "sincere attitude and humble words", Zhao Zhigao's inner dissatisfaction dissipated for the most part. Looking back, he felt that he was decades older than others, and it was really unreasonable that he would bully the juniors like this. He couldn't help but regret it, and squeezed in as if to make amends. He smiled, nodded and said: "Although Gao Shidu is young, he seems to be as talented and virtuous as the rumors say. No wonder His Majesty, his seniors and colleagues chose you to be the crown prince's companion."
Gao Pragmatic was amused in his heart: I thought the historical record was really wrong. It turned out that this man was really good-tempered and easy to talk to. I just said a few words of humility, but he began to reflect on his lack of attitude and came to make up for it... ...However, this does not necessarily mean cowardice. Maybe he is really a humble gentleman and can be bullied!
After all, in the original history, when Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant, he was so powerful that he could even dominate the leader. After Shen Shixing took over, the power of the cabinet remained strong. Later, Wang Xijue had a strong character and was respected by everyone when he was appointed as the chief assistant. When Zhao Zhigao became the first assistant, he was already over seventy years old. His behavior was "soft and cowardly, and he was underestimated by the court officials." At that time, there were a lot of insults and accusations.
When Zhao Zhigao first became the chief assistant, a disaster occurred at Xihua Gate, and the imperial censor Zhao Wenbing criticized it. Not long after, Liu Zuo, the censor of Nanjing, and Zhang Shoucheng spoke up again; and the official department went too far. Under the leadership of the minister Gu Xiancheng, they "kongsi" and chased Zhigao, with the intention of angering Wanli. Later, Zhang Tao and Yang Xun, the censors Ji Ti and Kuang Shangjin, and the Nanjing reviewer Long Qilei successively slandered Zhao Zhigao, while the patrol censor Wu Chongli impeached Zhao Zhigao's son, Lianghuai Transport Deputy Zhao Fengwei. As a result, Zhao Fengwei was suspended. salary. Soon, Yue Yuansheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, strongly expressed that Zhao Zhigao should go home to retire, and he spared no effort to attack Liu Daoheng during the incident.
At that time, Zhao Zhigao was so angry that he said: "The same cabinet minister used to be powerful and the power was restored, so he would follow him to seek advancement; today, when the power is weak and the power is divided, he would attack him to gain fame." So he wanted to retreat, but Wanli refused, and just kept "comforting him".
It can be seen that this person's temper seems to be really good.
