It was nine out of ten that the number one scholar entered the Hanlin Academy. Ling Yun was very calm about this. The main reason was because he had known about it all along.
This is due to the fact that he has a good master - Li Chengyou.
Because of Li Chengyou's existence, usually anything that happened in the court would be explained clearly to him in advance. Therefore, before the news about the court position came out, Ling Yun already knew the fact that he was going to enter the Imperial Academy.
It is worth mentioning that at this moment, Ling Yun became the official man that others dreamed of.
Compiled by the Hanlin Academy, from the sixth grade, it is not too big to say big, and it is not too small to say small.
The main work of the Hanlin Academy is to compile the history of the dynasty and record the situation of the dynasty, which also includes the responsibility of giving lectures to the emperor and drafting relevant documents for court ceremonies.
Finally, it seems that such a job is actually very simple for Ling Yun, and in fact, this position is a place for him to continue his studies.
Because here, he can not only learn how to handle government affairs, or how the entire court operates, etc., but its outstanding personnel can have the opportunity to be directly selected as county magistrates of the seventh grade, or to be responsible for education work at the local level.
Therefore, if you want to serve in the capital, or be sent out to be a county magistrate, you need to be selected based on your outstanding performance. It is not the case that Jinshi in No. 1 Middle School will be assigned a position.
Of course, it is quite simple for those who can get Jinshi to be sent to work as county magistrates. After all, they have to go through layers of selection to get Jinshi.
People without any skills will not be able to come to the capital, so the one-year assessment is mostly just time and will not cause much interference to them.
All in all, Lingyun's official position is quite leisurely. In modern terms, this is a place for retirement. He can keep busy when he has something to do, and fish when he has nothing to do.
When he got home from get off work, Li Chengyou asked him about it and asked if he felt uncomfortable. Naturally, he nodded repeatedly. After all, he did nothing on the first day he came down and just got to know his superiors.
If there is one thing that he doesn't adapt to, there is one thing, and that is because today, there is a new Jinshi in the same department as him, and this person can still sit opposite him - Zhao Shilong.
His appearance is strange, because Ling Yun did not see him during the imperial examination, but he was assigned to the same department as him, which is incredible.
Feeling strange, he mentioned it to Er Lengzi when he returned from get off work. Unexpectedly, the latter also made it clear that he had met him once since the day of the interview, but he had not seen him since then.
Therefore, Ling Yun was extremely curious about this mysterious person. He was able to enter the Hanlin Academy without taking the imperial examination. He couldn't help but secretly doubt in his heart, could this be the illegitimate son of that big boss?
Moreover, for this operation, it is obvious that the strength must be above the second level, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to have such great ability.
Ling Yun couldn't guarantee whether Zhao Shilong would participate in the palace examination, because he didn't see it, and neither did Erlunzi. But it was just the two of them. What if someone else was in the back row?
This is not certain, he is just skeptical.
After a few days, Ling Yun gradually became familiar with his job, which mainly included drafting imperial edicts, compiling history books, attending banquets, etc. He heard from an old man in the Hanlin Academy that if he did his job well, he might be able to serve as the emperor's recorder
The living officer.
The Living Official, also known as the Living Official, is a type of historian. As the name suggests, it records the emperor's daily activities.
Of course, not every move in the emperor's daily life must be recorded one by one. It mainly includes the emperor's daily routine, life trajectory, words and deeds of officials. This scope should be limited to the government activities in which the emperor participated.
For example, during the ceremonial activities such as royal dynasty, banquets, palace examinations, and sacrifices to heaven and earth, the living officials must be present to take notes. Therefore, the living officials need to always accompany the emperor.
Don't look at this seemingly ordinary errand, but it is a job that is hard to come by. Many people are trying their best to get it, but they can't get it.
Being with the emperor every day, it is conceivable that as long as you have a little bit of brainpower and leave a good impression on the emperor, it will not be difficult to be promoted to a higher position in the future.
Everyone knows that the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.
Therefore, if you have daily contact with the emperor, as long as you can leave a good impression and get the emperor's approval, you will be promoted very quickly.
Of course, the prerequisite still requires talent, so this kind of thing needs to be done by people from the Hanlin Academy. Anyone who can enter the Hanlin Academy is talented, and they are all people with both ability and political integrity.
And it has to be said that even if you become the emperor's daily official, you can only record and cannot speak.
And not only can he not speak, but he also needs to consider every word and care about every word when writing down things. Otherwise, everything must be recorded truthfully, which will inevitably anger the emperor. The emperor will not do anything to him in a short period of time. At most, he will be replaced.
.
But if the emperor really replaces you, it simply means that the emperor does not like you as a person. If you retire, you will be squeezed out by others, and you can imagine the consequences.
Regarding historians, there has always been a saying that "every ruler must write down a letter and write straightly", but this statement is selective and conditional.
If the emperor has made meritorious deeds and has done good deeds, he will naturally need to write a special book. If the emperor is mediocre and has done nothing, not only has he not made meritorious deeds, but he has not done any good deeds, then the historian will naturally need to be flexible and make up some fictitious things.
history.
"The beauty of a fake person is borrowed for personal gain" is the most typical example. Even if it means confusing right and wrong and turning bad things into good things, there is no hesitation.
All in all, to be a historian, especially to be an emperor's daily official, one must not only discern what is wrong, but also know how to observe what is happening.
As the saying goes, "We claim that we are strong, but others are short of others."
The meaning is simply that anything that is beneficial to the emperor must be written down, and anything that is detrimental to the emperor must never be recorded in the annals of history.
As an emperor and the person in charge of a dynasty, he would do some bad things to some extent, and Emperor Qianxi was no exception. His nature was dissolute, and he often did some ridiculous things.
As an emperor, it is normal to drink and have fun in the harem, and this kind of thing can be tolerated. However, Emperor Qianxi was not satisfied with the beauties in the harem. In order to seek excitement, he even sneaked out of the palace and lingered in the land of fireworks.
It has to be said that Emperor Qianxi was also a fun-loving and playful person.
However, Emperor Qianxi's addiction to wine and sex was just one of them.
He was just planting grass everywhere, and he could still find excuses to get rid of it. Unexpectedly, Emperor Qianxi was actually a lover, and shamelessly smuggled a woman who was planting grass outside into the palace.
This move would inevitably arouse the rejection of the beauties in the harem, so that the women brought back by Emperor Qianxi disappeared inexplicably or died in mysterious circumstances.
Although Emperor Qianxi knew who in the harem was responsible for this, even though he was an emperor, he could not interfere in the affairs of the harem.
So in order to solve this problem and to make things easier for himself, he did not hesitate to waste money and people, build a palace, and gradually let himself go on the road of luxury.
