But this kind of thing is very story-telling, and because the person who wrote it is so emotional, everyone who reads it will be affected.
Not only Bai Erlang, Bai Shan and Zhou Man also liked to read this kind of unofficial historical materials, so Bai Shan also spent time in this room with Bai Erlang.
Most of the things in the Hanlin Academy are not confidential. In addition to the current daily records, they can even check the daily records of the late emperors, not to mention those of the previous dynasties.
The only difference is that there are fewer procedures.
Also, the materials in the Hanlin Academy cannot be taken out of the Hanlin Academy.
There is no point in copying this kind of thing, so Bai Shan can only regret and say to Man Bao: "I originally wanted to lend you a volume to relieve your boredom, but I can't get it out. I can retell it to you."
"Any special stories?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "I saw a volume that wrote about the mysterious deaths of five members of a family in Qidi in the previous dynasty. However, there was little case file information on it. It seemed that it was written down after hearsay. But it was written on the back of the silk cloth.
Considering the results of the local yamen’s investigation and the judgment of the Ministry of Punishment, it may be somewhat credible.”
Man Bao listened to it as a bedtime story and enjoyed it quite a bit.
But soon Bai Shan no longer had time to go to that room to look for miscellaneous books and read because he was too busy, and then he was promoted.
He was promoted from the Hanlin Academy and immediately entered the Zhongshu Provincial Department. He still compiled memorials for the emperor and drafted edicts. However, after he was transferred to the Zhongshu Provincial Department, the edicts he drafted did not need to be reviewed by the Zhongshu Provincial Department again. They could be processed directly.
Take it to the province for review, and it can be issued after passing it.
He has been in the Hanlin Academy for a year, but he was the fastest to get promoted in the same period. After him, there were also Hanlin people who were promoted to other departments, but most of them stayed in the Hanlin Academy to continue studying.
Many people have mixed feelings about Bai Shan's promotion. The speed is extremely fast, and this time he is a close official of the emperor.
So someone couldn't help but wander around Bai Erlang. After attracting his attention, he asked him, "Sir Xiao Bai, Mr. Bai has been promoted to Zhongshu Province. It seems that His Majesty values Mr. Bai very much."
Bai Erlang nodded and turned a page of the book in his hand, "Your Majesty has always valued him very much."
His Majesty has valued him very much since they complained. He has known it for many years.
Seeing that he had no unnecessary expression at all, and looked like he was taking it for granted, the adult who wanted to discuss the deep-seated human character with him was choked for a while, and then turned around and left without discussing this issue with him.
Bai Erlang looked at a few more pictures. After hearing no one speak for a long time, he raised his head and looked around, and saw that there was no one around him.
He couldn't help curling his lips and complained: "I left without saying a word..."
Bai Erlang glanced at the hourglass and saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately returned the materials in his hands, then tidied up his desk, put his hands on his knees and waited for the office time.
They made an appointment to go out for dinner today to celebrate Bai Shan's promotion. He had to go back to pick up Ming Da first...
Bai Erlang widened his eyes and waited for the last bit of sand to fall. He immediately stood up and walked out. As he walked, he raised his hands to say goodbye to his colleagues, and reminded everyone that the sand in the hourglass had finished leaking out, and everyone could go home.
The person he reminded waved his hand to show that he understood and was not in a hurry to go home.
After Bai Erlang left the Hanlin Academy, he started running quickly and ran to the stable to lead his horse.
The head of the Hanlin Academy, who was standing behind a pillar in the corridor, watched the whole process. His face was expressionless. In fact, he didn't have any expression in his heart. He really couldn't show it.
The Prince of Hejian County who was standing next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing, and he laughed loudly with the commander in chief: "The Prince Consort shouldn't be in your Hanlin Academy, he should be in our Ministry of Etiquette, he's so abiding by the rules.
Even our officials in the Ministry of Rites are inferior."
Li Gong, the king of Hejian County and also the Minister of Rites, had always been at odds with Zhou Man, but this disagreement stemmed from a conflict of ideas. He felt that women should not be officials in the court, but he had always been moderate.
Since no one thought there was a problem, he stopped mentioning it and allowed himself to accept this phenomenon.
It's about balance, it's always about making everyone happy.
The headmaster said nothing.
Li Gongdao: "What, how about assigning him to me? Last time I asked you to ask Bai Shan, you said there is no rush, at least wait until he has completed one year before transferring him, lest everyone think there is something behind his promotion too quickly.
As a result, the peach I had my eye on was picked, and now I have my eye on another one, wouldn’t you still agree?”
The headmaster said angrily: "That's right, I won't agree."
He said: "He is the person your Majesty put here to live a leisurely life. If he has ambitions and wants to do a career, I won't say anything. As a superior, I can't stop my subordinates."
However, he himself is very satisfied with the errands of the Hanlin Academy, and his majesty’s instructions are in front of him. If you want someone, you don’t have to ask me, just go directly to your majesty.”
The commander paused and said, "But don't blame me for reminding you. Not to mention that His Majesty won't agree now, I'm afraid he himself won't be happy either."
As the most well-connected person in the Hanlin Academy at present, the head of the Academy is naturally very concerned about Bai Erlang.
He knew that he was enjoying himself in the miscellaneous study room during this period, and he was able to complete the tasks assigned to him by his superiors on time. He was really punctual and always handed in materials at the last minute.
The director felt that Bai Erlang would not like being transferred to the Ministry of Etiquette.
Li Gong said nonchalantly: "Our etiquette department is also very relaxed and has good rules. Everyone is friendly from top to bottom. It is much better than your Hanlin Academy."
Although they are all noble departments, the Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy are ambitious and aim for the stars and the sea. The country also trains them as prime minister reserve forces.
But the Ministry of Rites is different. The Ministry of Rites is really deserted. Basically, it is easy to get in but difficult to get out. If you can't get out, you won't have much real power, and you will basically be dealing with various ritual systems.
The most glorious moment may be when the emperor is changed, ahem...
Judging from Bai Erlang's behavior just now, he is obviously a very disciplined person. If this is the case, then their etiquette department is very suitable for him.
The headmaster glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Li Shangshu, you can't judge people by their superficial appearance."
Bai Shan seemed to be very observant, but he felt that he was probably the most unruly person in the Hanlin Academy. They were all newcomers, but he had come in late and left early, and he could do it calmly.
We can already touch various confidential documents such as the daily records of the late emperor.
However, the director didn't think he was smart, but rather curious and naughty. When he arrived at a new place, he couldn't help but look left and right, trying to get a thorough feel of the environment before leaving.
And Bai Erlang is also naughty, but he is timid and has no one to guide him. His naughtiness has its limits. He has been here for so long and he only hangs around in those few rooms. It is a shame to the emperor, his great patron, and also makes him embarrassed.
Bai Yuan, who has always been facing a formidable enemy, is ready.
