From the Tang Dynasty to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the Hanlin Academy was actually most trusted by the emperor.
Don’t think that the Hanlin Academy is just a group of scholars who are good at poetry, poetry, archeology, and compilation of books. It gathers the essence of scholars from all over the world, and they are all people with outstanding talents.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were three Jinshi awards every year. How many of them might have stayed in the Hanlin Academy?
In addition to the above-mentioned tasks, they are also responsible for teaching the emperor and princes to read, and telling the emperor about the gains and losses of past and present dynasties. At the same time, they also help the emperor draft edicts and make suggestions.
He was both the emperor's personal secretary and the emperor's personal assistant.
The disciple of the Emperor is the most eagerly awaited status among scholars in the world, and Qinggui Wushuang is even higher among the class of scholars.
Moreover, the Hanlin Academy is, to put it bluntly, a reserve force for the prime minister. Among these people, they are all assigned to be assigned to serve as academics and administrators of a province.
But Zhu Yunxi and the old man are of the same origin, but they just don't like to use these elites. What they like are officials with mud-legs who come from poor mountains and harsh waters, officials who have climbed up from the bottom with one footprint, and officials who are straight-forward and dare to do things and speak out.
The old man said at the beginning that the powerful are human beings, and the poor and humble are also human beings. However, powerful people often cannot see the hardships and sufferings of the poor who are also human beings. So why should we choose officials when selecting officials?
What about those children from aristocratic families and wealthy families? At least those officials who are also from common people, after they sit in high positions, some of them will have their consciences discovered, right?
Therefore, a very interesting phenomenon occurred in the Hongwu and Yongchang dynasties. Those who really had power were the doers. And the Hanlin Academy, which was highly respected in all dynasties, was the mascot.
"I can't decide all the major issues in the world with just one word." Zhu Yunxi saw the heat in the eyes of the ministers and said calmly, "Military and state affairs require collective efforts, so I set up the South Study Room."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked around at the ministers again.
Then, under the expectant gazes of the ministers, he slowly spoke again, "Zhang Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Hou Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, you two are of good conduct and prudent, and you have never formed a clique without any intention. From now on, you will enter the south."
The study room is for the counselor."
People are utilitarian. Zhang Yan and Hou Yong were so excited that their eyes turned red and they could hardly control themselves. Their bodies were trembling slightly when they stood up and saluted.
They all know what this means.
"Your Majesty, wait..."
"I don't want to hear words of loyalty, and your words of loyalty are never pleasant!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at Hou Yong, "Ling Shangshu will return to his hometown soon, so you can take care of the affairs of the staff for the time being."
"My lord..." Hou Yong burst into tears, "How can I be so virtuous?"
"It's a good thing to do it, our monarchs and ministers are of the same mind!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, looked at the ministers again, and suddenly fell on Xie Jin, "Xie Jin, the bachelor of the East Palace, is talented and quick in writing, and he has also entered the South Study Room!"
"Minister?" Xie Jin opened his mouth and was stunned.
Compared to the two of them, he had less qualifications, was slightly younger, and had no meritorious achievements. The emperor personally appointed him, which really made him feel a little overwhelmed.
"Usually your heart is as high as the sky, so you are afraid of what you are asked to do?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Letting Xie Jin enter the South Study Room is also the result of careful consideration. The elites in the Hanlin Academy are important forces in the court and must be taken into account. Although Xie Jin has always had some differences with those people, after all, he is also a noble scholar, so choosing him is considered a blessing.
Give the Hanlin Academy an explanation.
Others also smiled at him, but immediately looked away.
Li Jinglong was such an astute person, he immediately knew that these people's gazes were very stiff and meaningful at the same time.
"What? You look down on me and think I don't deserve to be in the South Study Room? Humph!" He cursed angrily in his heart and suddenly froze.
"Including me, there are seven people in total. I'm afraid... Xu Huizu isn't the one who makes up the numbers, but I am? I'm just using the gold balm to pull out the people and help the emperor gather the heads?"
With confused thoughts in my mind, I heard Zhu Yunxi speak again.
"Xin Yande!"
"I'm here!"
"Walking in the South Study Room!" Zhu Yunxi said.
Xin Yande was neither happy nor sad, "I obey your order!"
"He's just a messenger!" Li Jinglong thought for a moment and understood the meaning of walking in the south study room. He was the one who helped him, the messenger.
When he thought of this, he remembered that he was just making up the numbers, so he looked at Xin Yande with a look full of sympathy.
