Half a month passed quickly, and Gao Pragmatic came to the Hanlin Academy early that morning. This was a habit he had developed in his previous life. Unless he was already the top leader in the unit, he always insisted on arriving early.
As for why you don’t leave too early after becoming a top leader, it’s just to avoid making it difficult for others. The top leader has arrived, but the subordinates haven’t arrived yet, so you let the subordinates behave as they should. So when he was the top leader, he was used to arriving at the work time.
Today, Gao Pragmatic was the first to come to the review hall. The officials in the review hall looked at each other and smiled. In the past, there were new Hanlins who were so diligent at the beginning, but after a while, they lost the energy and persisted. Not much. So they all made private bets on how long Gao Pragmatism could persist.
However, the official still diligently took the notebook and pen, Gao pragmatically drew the knot on it skillfully, and then sat back on the koan.
As soon as Gao pragmatic sat down, Liu He quickly came up to wipe the guan for him. While doing so, he said politely, "Master Xiu Zhuan, what kind of tea do you want to drink? Our waiter has six or seven kinds of tea today."
Gao Pragmatic didn't know that this was specially arranged by Shen Shixing. He just regarded it as a routine and said calmly, "Black tea, any variety."
"Okay, I have some good Pu'er today. I'll go get some for Mr. Xiu Zhuan. Does he want any other snacks?"
"No need for snacks." This was also Gao Pragmatic's habit in his previous life. At that time, he was obese for a while in college. Later, he joined the work and became a secretary. He felt that his image was not good, so he worked hard to lose weight. In addition to going out for brisk walking at night to exercise and swimming, My dietary habits are mainly low in sugar and oil, and no snacks. Although I am not fat in this life, I have always been very self-disciplined.
Liu He quickly agreed, and then happily went to help Gao pragmatically serve tea. He already knew that Gao pragmatism had a great origin, and now he wanted to worship Gao Xiuzhuan as his ancestor.
Gao pragmatically sat on the desk, and the sun shone through the window panes in the hall. It's obviously still April, but the rising sun today is hot and dazzling, and you can feel a slight heat when you touch the koan with your hand.
In the past two days, he often reminded himself secretly not to think of himself as so different. Although the emperor is his classmate, his assistant is his teacher, and his second assistant is his uncle, no matter what, now that he is officially an official, he has to start all over again.
The sixth No. 1 pick is a thing of the past, not to mention that Gao Pragmatic knows very well that few people like people who like to brag about "what I was doing back then." Therefore, he would rather regard himself as a real newcomer to officialdom, keep a low profile as much as possible, watch more, learn more and interrupt less.
Of course, this low-key can only be "as much as possible", because the general secretary's arrangement for compiling the Ming Dynasty Code has been decided. No matter how much he hopes to keep a low profile, he has to do something.
In order to rebuild the Ming Dynasty Canon, Gao Jingshi has already read the first draft revised by Sun Jigao and others in the past half month. In order to familiarize himself with the canons of the past dynasties, he also read a lot of classics. What,,,, that is unnecessary Having said that, ,,,,,,,,,, etc., cannot be let go.
Now, while no one was bothering him, he picked up a volume and started reading it on the koan. Not long after, Liu He brought tea.
Gao pragmatically read more than a dozen pages while drinking tea, when Sun Jigao and Zeng Chaojie arrived.
Gao pragmatic stood up and saluted the two of them, and they both returned the salute politely. Zeng Chaojie looked calm, while Sun Jigao had a cheerful look on his face, as if something good had happened to him.
There was only one subject difference between them and similar qualifications, so they sat relatively close to each other. Soon Gao Pragmatic heard Zeng Chaojie say to Sun Jigao with a smile, "Brother Yide, I am going to the inner book hall to teach, and I am so happy to be close to the inner court."
Sun Jigao couldn't help but smile, and said politely, "Hey, if there's anything to be happy about, it would be better for Luo Xiuzan to serve in front of the emperor first. That would be really gratifying and congratulatory."
At present, there is only one person named Luo Qie in the Hanlin Academy who is responsible for editing, and that is Luo Wanhua, the number one scholar in the second year of Longqing.
"Luo Xiuzhan spent twelve years in the Procuratorate before he came out. You are younger than him. It is only a matter of time before you serve in the imperial palace. As for teaching in the inner library, it may not be much worse than serving in front of the imperial palace."
Sun Jigao smiled happily, nodded and said, "But as you wish."
Gao Pangshi thought in his mind that it would not be easy to select the historians of Jingyan Lecturer and Ri Lecturer from among the compilers and editors, but the teaching study hall was different. Four Hanlin scholars were selected from the history library to enter the inner study hall. teach. This is the route of forming a good relationship between civil servants and eunuchs. It is indeed a good choice for the officials. Ten years later, if the eunuchs he has taught become famous in the inner court, it will also be a big help to him. .
No wonder Sun Jigao did not feel resentful when he took time off from rebuilding the Great Ming Dynasty Code, but he did so to teach in the inner library.
Gao Jingshi somewhat understood that Chen Siyu would leave such an important matter as rebuilding the Ming Dynasty ceremony to himself as a newcomer. Although Sun Jigao expressed doubts at the time, he has become very calm these days. It seems that Chen Siyu must have given him the answer. After greeting him, a better future awaits him.
Next, all the Hanlin 66 Xuxuxu came, but these Hanlins also had things to do. They were either going to teach in the inner library or preparing to serve as scriveners for the Sutra Banquet Exhibition. They all just went to work as officials and left in a hurry. Yes, there were only about ten people in the history museum.
As for Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, as soon as they arrived at the Yamen, they first came to chat with Gao Jingshi for a few words, and then they didn't even bother to drink tea. They hurriedly sat down to read the history books, as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
In fact, the most diligent people in the Inspection Hall these days, in addition to being highly pragmatic, are Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan. It seems that the two of them regard the matter of completing the Ming Dynasty Code and being directly promoted to the first level as a major opportunity.
But it’s no wonder. Generally speaking, when you first enter the Hanlin Academy, how can you get a chance to be promoted so quickly? You have to be pushed down by your superiors. You have to sit on the bench for two or three years, euphemistically called "training your mind", and then you can have serious errands. Tell it.
Of course, Gao Jingshi also knew that Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan's efforts may be partly due to themselves. Their abilities are obvious. They can get good results in the palace examination. How can they be easy people? No matter what materials they compiled, they had already figured out some clues. Even when reviewing the first draft of the meeting, they found a few small mistakes. Chen Siyu also praised them both.
But as another later "Wen Zhenggong" Zeng Guofan said, those who have achieved great things since ancient times are one part capable, six parts destiny, and three parts support from noble people. Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan have developed their abilities and their destiny seems to be good, but now they just need the support of noble people.
Both of them come from official families. Although their ancestors and fathers did not have high official positions, it is precisely because of their low official positions that they can better understand the importance of "noble support". This kind of thinking must have influenced them, so they Naturally, he will not give up leaving the best impression on the noble people around him.
The noble person around him is not Chen Siyu, the head of the academy, but he is very pragmatic and highly educated.
After a while, the official in charge of the inner hall suddenly came. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Today, editor Wang, who is in charge of the East Room, is seriously ill. I cannot be here today. Is there anyone who can replace editor Wang who is on duty today?" build"
As soon as the words fell, five or six Hanlin present stood up and expressed their willingness to go.
Among the historians, only Gao Pragmatic, Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan sat still. Xiao Liangyou glanced at it and continued to immerse himself in reviewing the manuscript, obviously not interested. However, Wang Tingzhuan glanced at Gao Pragmatic, smiled slightly, and continued to look down at the book. Gao Pangshi, on the other hand, looked at the Hanlin officials a little and then continued to read with his head down.
Gao Pragmatic is naturally familiar with the cabinet. There are two subordinate rooms under it, namely, the imperial imperial office and the royal imperial office. All the officials in the chamber can be regarded as cabinet staff. The imperial edict room is responsible for reading and reading the following five members of the Imperial Academy, who take turns every day. After writing the imperial edict, it must be submitted to the cabinet for review. If you take a rotation in the imperial pardon room, you can enter Wenyuan Pavilion and interact with ministers. No wonder these historians put down their matters and rush to go.
In the end, when the official ordered one person, the others looked depressed as they didn't go. Apparently they felt that they had missed a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the elders.
Gao pragmatic smiled secretly in his heart.
Why are these Hanlins vying to serve as daily lecturers, teach in the inner study hall, and rotate in the imperial palace? If you serve as a daily lecturer, you can get close to Tianyan. Cabinet favor.
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit. The emperor is at the top, and the eunuchs and cabinet are at the bottom. The closer to the center of power, the greater the power.
Hanlin officials think about how to establish friendship with the emperor, cabinet, and eunuchs all day long. Even if they don't have friendship, they still try to become familiar with each other, because these are the steps for officials to enter the cabinet in the future.
Where does the power of officials come from? It is given by the emperor, and hundreds of officials serve the emperor to shepherd the people.
As for the power of officials, the rules for officials of several grades are only on the surface. If you are new to the officialdom and are still judging based on these numbers, you have not yet started.
The real rule is that the closer you are to the emperor, the more power you have. Every step closer brings more power.
If we want to compare it to modern officialdom, then the cabinet scholar is simply the secretary of the emperor. Although he is a confidential secretary, in fact, the cabinet is superior to all officials. Why isn't it just because they are the closest to the emperor among the civil servants?
As for eunuchs, they are nothing more than housekeepers, servants, drivers, and even life secretaries beside the emperor. But when the eunuchs become powerful, even the cabinet ministers have to look at their expressions. Therefore, in the officialdom, foreign officials are not as good as officials in the capital, and officials in the capital are not as good as Hanlin officials. Among Hanlin officials, there is a big difference between those who can face the saints and those who cannot.
As soon as Luo Wanhua was promoted to an official position, everyone in the Hanlin Academy congratulated him. His peers and fellow villagers in the Imperial Palace also hurriedly got into action, vying to make an appointment with Luo Wanhua. Even Chen Siyu, the head of the academy, wanted to give Luo Wanhua three points to give him a face-saving speech. The chances of an official joining the cabinet in the future are very high.
Jingyan Lecturer and Japanese Lecturer are just positions. In the Hanlin Academy, the Bachelor of Academic Affairs, the Bachelor of Imperial Lectures, the Assistant Reader, the Assistant Lecturer, and even the compilation and editing can all be assumed. It can be seen that the level of an official is never the highest. important conditions.
The most important thing is that to serve as a lecturer for economic feasts or daily lectures, one must be invited by the cabinet. Therefore, after Luo Wanhua became an official, the first thing he did was to go to the cabinet to express his gratitude.
As an editor, Gao pragmatically has a chance to become a Japanese lecturer, and he can basically be promoted to the cabinet. However, he has errands on hand now, so he is not in a hurry.
As for Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, they did not want Gao Pragmatic to become a Japanese lecturer, because after becoming a Japanese lecturer, he would have to go to the Wenhua Palace to lecture and read for the emperor, except for visiting the Japanese during the Three, Six and Nine Dynasties. All the rest are said, and if winter and summer are not separated, there will be much less opportunities for them to see high pragmatism in the future, and they think they have no chance to become Japanese officials so early.
Therefore, in their opinion, following the high pragmatism in compiling the canon is the best situation at present.
