Er Lunzi originally only wanted to borrow twenty taels to barely make ends meet, but he unexpectedly received two hundred taels of silver out of nowhere. He was holding two one hundred taels of silver notes in his hand and was filled with emotion.
The first thing he did after returning home was to write down his experiences in the imperial examinations over the years, in order to hand these notes to Ling Yun as soon as possible.
Before they separated, Ling Yun said that he could hand it over to him within half a month. Obviously Erluzi didn't want to wait, he just wanted to write it out quickly so that he could feel worthy of Ling Yun.
After Ergou mentioned it, Ling Yun finally remembered about moving. When he returned to Li's house, he immediately called Yang Ergou to ask how things were going in the yard.
When Yang Ergou saw him asking questions, he explained to him that it turned out that Yang Ergou had personally identified two better courtyards, but the price was relatively high, one was 10,000 taels of silver, and the other was 15,000 taels of silver.
When Ling Yun heard the news, he was shocked, and then asked how many people entered the yard. Yang Ergou's answer surprised him even more. More than 10,000 yuan of silver was only for the second person's yard, and the garden was not included. What he bought was the yard.
Still gold.
I have to sigh, land is really precious in Kyoto, and the second yard is so expensive.
It seems that he can only wait for a reply from his family to know how much money they brought him. As for the move, he can only put it on hold for the time being.
I originally thought that what Feng Liangji, the old man of the Hanlin Academy, said to him that day was groundless. Unexpectedly, within a week, the poor living officer was really replaced.
The reason is simply that Emperor Qianxi was very concerned about face and cherished his reputation, while the official Ning Chengyun was an upright person.
The personal eunuch who took care of Emperor Qianxi, no matter how good or bad he tried to talk to him, he refused to change and insisted on writing down the truth. The result of this was that Emperor Qianxi had no good face and was taken down.
Of course, Ning Chengyun would not be punished. This was the benefit of being a historian. The emperor could not do anything to them easily, otherwise he would get protests from the historians.
As for how the historians protested, the reason is very simple. They wrote truthfully what Emperor Qianxi did and sometimes magnified a small scandal.
Therefore, in order to take into account the face of both parties, Emperor Qianxi would not easily cause trouble with the historians. At most, he would replace the one who disobeyed.
Over a long period of time, it also aggravated the temper of the historians, thinking that even if they truthfully recorded the records, Emperor Qianxi could not do anything to them.
However, in less than half a year, Emperor Qianxi had changed hundreds of people in his daily life. The most important thing was that once they were dismissed, Emperor Qianxi did not use them again, even if someone recommended them, it would be useless.
According to Ling Yun, this is nothing more than leaving hatred in Emperor Qianxi's heart. If you use my money, you won't stop talking about me, so just find a casual job to support your retirement!
It stands to reason that Emperor Qianxi has changed so many daily officials in less than half a year. As long as he makes a little change, it will be a big opportunity. Who would have thought that most of the daily officials are elm-headed people who have studied hard to prove their integrity?
Integrity, not afraid of power, willing to be defeated, but also to leave a clear name.
Sure enough, ancient scholars valued reputation even more than power. He suddenly understood those scholars who refused to remonstrate, even if they were dead and in a different place, they still wanted to leave a clean reputation.
Although I understand, if it were Ling Yun, he would definitely not be like this. After all, he has the memory of a modern person and feels that there is nothing wrong with obeying the orders of the supreme leader.
He would do things for anyone who gave him money. As long as it was not something harmful to nature, he could barely accept it.
As soon as he arrived at the Hanlin Academy that day, Feng Liangji immediately walked up to him and said something strange, "I hope you will take it seriously." This made Ling Yun Zhanger confused.
It wasn't until Feng Liangji explained that he realized that it was Emperor Qianxi's living officer who had been removed.
But when he thought about it carefully, he found something was wrong. The living officer was dismissed. Why did Feng Liangji say precious words to him?
There are countless old people in the Hanlin Academy, and even if they were chosen for their turn, he still wouldn't be the one to take the lead. It's really baffling.
However, what Ling Yun didn't know was that the once most sought-after job had now become a hot potato in the Imperial Academy. Everyone shunned it like a snake or a scorpion. No one was willing to do it, so he could only choose among this group of newcomers.
And among the newcomers, he was the top pick, so no matter how he was chosen, he would be the first choice, which is why Feng Liangji couldn't wait to pray for him as soon as he arrived at the Hanlin Academy.
As a newly promoted member of the imperial family, Ling Yun was not aware of these treachery, and therefore did not really take Feng Liangji's words to heart, and just laughed and said nothing.
In the afternoon, there was a panic in the Hanlin Academy. Ling Yun, who was sitting in his seat, could clearly feel the sound of his superior slapping the table. He guessed that something must have happened, which made the usually gentle leader furious.
The sounds of the quarrel waxed and waned, and Ling Yun couldn't help but poke his head in to see what was going on inside. However, what he heard was that someone inside called his name.
"Ling Yun, come in."
The voice of Hanlin bachelor Wang Chengyun came, and Ling Yun was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Feng Liangji poked his shoulder that he realized that he had heard correctly. The person inside was indeed calling him.
Although he was greatly confused, after all the leader called him, he could only walk straight in.
As soon as he stepped into Wang Chengyun's door, he saw several people standing inside, all dressed as eunuchs. This made Ling Yun more and more confused. He couldn't help but think of Feng Liangji's words in the morning. Could this really be what Feng Liangji said, asking him to come? Go to the palace?
Looking at Wang Chengyun's livid face, we knew that the person coming was not a good thing, but since his name was called, he could only take one step at a time.
"Master Wang, are you looking for me?"
Wang Chengyun glanced at him, pointed at the leading eunuch and said, "Well! This is Eunuch Li."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun immediately saluted Eunuch Li and said, "Your Majesty, Ling Yun, has met Eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li looked at him with a smile and said meaningfully, "Ling Zhuangyuan, our family will remember you."
"Thank you for your concern, father-in-law."
It was not until this moment that Ling Yun realized that the eunuch in front of him was actually Eunuch Li, who was following Emperor Qianxi. No wonder he felt that the leading eunuch looked familiar at the beginning.
The two chatted for a while, and then Eunuch Li took a few young eunuchs out first, presumably waiting for him outside the door.
When Eunuch Li went out, Wang Chengyun looked at him and sighed softly, "When you enter the palace, remember to be more careful. No matter what you see or hear, pretend you didn't see it or hear it. Remember what you need to remember." You shouldn’t remember it, you have to weigh it in your heart.”
Ling Yun immediately bowed to thank him and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will never forget it."
Wang Chengyun shook his head and sighed, "Hey! You just entered the Imperial Academy and haven't stayed for a few days. You have to leave now...so you can take care of yourself!"
