Shen Yi went to the Di Reporting Office in the morning instead of going to the Hanlin Academy, because he was worried that it would be difficult to pass the Hanlin Academy, so he wanted to come back to see his elders to see if their elders had any solutions.
Unexpectedly, before he came back, Master Lu was already playing chess with the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.
but…
Probably not a Hanlin bachelor.
The Hanlin bachelor is the chief official of the Hanlin Academy and the emperor's imperial adviser. Although he is not the prime minister, he is not much different from the prime minister. Shen Yi has learned about the Hanlin Academy. The current Hanlin bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is named Wei.
The two of them were playing chess, and I didn’t know who won. However, Master Chen looked very happy. He smiled at Master Lu and said, "I always ignore people who say this to me. , but Brother Jizhong opened his mouth, so I accepted this junior shamelessly."
Master Lu waved to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi immediately walked over and saluted Bachelor Chen again.
Bachelor Chen smiled and said, "You haven't gone to the Hanlin Academy yet?"
Shen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I just received the imperial edict this morning, and I haven't had time to report it to the Hanlin Academy yet."
"Well."
Bachelor Chen nodded and said: "Then you will go to the Hanlin Academy soon. I will be there at that time, and I will personally take you to make a register."
Shen Yi bowed his head to thank him again.
"No need to thank me."
Scholar Chen smiled: "Your master and I are of the same year, so naturally I want to help, but Brother Lu's character, I haven't seen him find someone to do things for many years, so I have no reason to blame Huaiwei!
"It's really rare."
After saying this, Xueshi Chen stood up, stretched his body, and said to Master Lu: "Brother Lu, it's getting late. Zhuo Jing has probably prepared lunch. I'll go back to eat now. You This time when I come to Jiankang, I have to stay a little longer. When I am free in two days, I will come to you to drink tea and play chess."
Mr. Lu stood up to see him off, and said with a smile: "I have free time on errands in the Hanlin Academy. If you have nothing to do, you can come here and walk around more."
"It's said to be leisurely,
There are a lot of worries."
Scholar Chen sighed with emotion: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."
After saying that, he smiled at Lu Anshi and said, "In a few days, I will invite Brother Jizhong and Brother Changping to have tea. The two gentlemen must appreciate it."
Master Lu nodded and said with a smile: "We are of the same age, so we should get together."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, Academician Chen said goodbye and left.
Master Shen Yi and his disciples sent him to the gate of Zhao's house and watched him get on the sedan chair.
Seeing this man walking away, Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Thank you, master, for taking the trouble..."
Master Lu glanced at Shen Yi and said in a low voice: "Last time you asked me if you had entered the Hanlin Academy, I still didn't understand what you meant. This morning, I heard that you were promoted to the Hanlin Academy, and I finally figured it out. "
"You are very tight-lipped. For more than ten days, you haven't said a word to my teacher."
Shen Yi quickly explained: "It's not that I didn't tell the teacher. In fact, the matter may not have been settled. The last time the disciple was beaten, the people in the palace came and said that the disciple might be promoted to the Hanlin Academy, but even if His Majesty handles this matter , there was probably some resistance, and the disciple was unwilling to make empty words, so he did not tell his teacher."
"I have absolutely no intention of hiding anything from my mentor..."
"Um."
Master Lu nodded: "You have a calm temperament and never talk empty words. As a teacher, you know this."
He glanced at the direction that Scholar Chen left and said, "This person's surname is Chen Mingnian, and his courtesy name is Yangui."
"It was the fourth place in the second class of our subject."
Having said this, Master Lu laughed at himself: "I did better than your teacher."
Without waiting for Shen Yi to speak, he added: "Currently, he is a bachelor's degree lecturer at the Hanlin Academy."
The bachelor's degree is the official position in the Hanlin Academy after the Hanlin bachelor. It is nominally to give lectures to the emperor. However, the bachelor's degree does not have the title of Jingyan official and is not responsible for giving lectures to the emperor. It handles some affairs of the Hanlin Academy, and Serves as backup advisor to the emperor.
From the fifth grade.
Although the rank is not high, because of the noble status of the Hanlin Academy, the next position is Minister of Rites. If he is posted outside, he usually goes to the provinces as the chief envoy, that is, the chief executive.
However... since this Bachelor Chen was a Jinshi in the same year as Master Lu and Shilang Zhao, and he got the fourth place in the second class and entered the Hanlin Academy, it means that he has been an official for at least twenty years. Li is still in the position of serving as a lecturer. Either this person is not good at being an official, or this person is not good at being a human being.
Climbing too slowly.
According to Bachelor Chen's progress, it is estimated that by the time he reaches the official position, he will be the Minister of Rites at most. If he is unlucky, he may be able to retire with the salary of the Minister of Rites and not even get a real job.
This is also the reason why Mr. Lu can easily invite him.
Among them, the best candidate for Jinshi in their subject is Zhao Changping. Liu Jizhang, the old minister of the Ministry of Revenue, will leave his post almost next month, and the minister of the Ministry of household affairs has appointed Zhao Changping, which means that Zhao Changping will soon be promoted and become the minister. The local official Shangshu in charge of the six ministries.
Academician Chen is naturally happy to be able to establish a relationship with Zhao Changping or Ganquan Academy. He has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years and taking care of a junior is not a big deal for him.
The master and apprentice were walking in the small garden of the back house of Zhao Mansion. Master Lu walked in front of Shen Yi, with his hands behind his back and his face calm: "Your status as a commoner is a bit tricky, but fortunately you have a Part-time, this way, you don’t have to go to the Hanlin Academy every day to listen to the lectures of those Hanlin officials. With Chen Yangui taking care of you in the Hanlin Academy, it won’t matter much if you don’t go.”
"After the registration is made, don't go if you can. After a few years, you will have the status of a Hanlin scholar. There is no need to interact too much with those fellow scholars."
The Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy generally have to study in the Hanlin Academy for several years. After a few years, they "graduate" from the Hanlin Academy and have the status of a Hanlin. At that time, they will either work as officials in other yamen or be recruited. Stay and serve in the Hanlin Academy.
What Master Lu meant was to let Shen Yi quietly sneak into the Imperial Academy and graduate, and get a "graduation certificate" instead of having to go to the Imperial Academy every day to suffer.
Shen Yi naturally understood this truth and knew that those fellow scholars would not give him a good look. He immediately lowered his head and said with a smile: "I understand what the teacher means. I will go to the Hanlin Academy to report to the Hanlin Academy in the afternoon. After that, unless the Hanlin Academy Please contact the college, otherwise the students will not go."
"Um."
Master Lu looked back at Shen Yi with a smile on his face.
"When I first arrived in Jiankang, I chatted with your Uncle Zhao. Your Uncle Zhao said that you are thoughtful, well-organized and very capable. He wanted to train you to become the future leader of our academy."
"I told him at that time that if you don't have Hanlin status, it will be difficult for you to get to Zhongshu in the future."
"Uncle Zhao said that if uukanshu www.uukanshu.com has the status of Hanlin, it will be difficult for him to reach Zhongshu."
"I argued with him for a long time."
When Mr. Lu said this, he could no longer hold back and laughed loudly: "Now the argument between me and him can end here. Who would have thought that Zi Heng, a fifty-one-year-old in the second class, could also enter the university?" A member of the Hanlin Academy can also be a commoner!"
After laughing for a while, he patted Shen Yi's shoulder heavily and said with a smile: "Zi Heng, from now on, you are a member of the officialdom. When you were in the academy, you encountered a disaster and almost died, and in the officialdom It is a hundred times more dangerous than the academy, so don’t be careful in the future.”
Shen Yi nodded quickly in response.
Mr. Lu stroked his beard on his chin and smiled broadly.
"When you come back from the Hanlin Academy in the afternoon, come here. Remember to buy some good wine on the way. When your uncle comes back from work at the Ministry of Household Affairs, you can have a good drink with him."
