Hanlin Academy of Sciences began during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
The Hanlin Academy of Sciences is also known as the Academy of Academic Affairs, and sometimes it is also called the Hanlin Academy or the Imperial Academy.
However, Hanlin Academy, Hanlin Academy, and Hanlin Department are completely different yamen.
The Hanlin Academy has four bureaus: astronomy, calligraphy, painting, and medical officer. Those who are skilled in these four fields can be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Of course, these people can also be called Hanlin, but they cannot be called Hanlin bachelors.
As for the Hanlin Department, it is responsible for worship matters and is also called the Tea and Wine Department. Only the Hanlin Academy is the real place where Hanlin bachelors work, so it is called the Academy.
Of course, there are also other elegant names such as Yutang, Yingzhou, and Forbidden Forest.
On this day, Zhang Yue entered from Donghua Gate, and when he arrived at Chengtian Gate, an eunuch announced the order. Then, two officials in Zhuyi from the Hanlin Academy led the way to the pavilion gate. The two of them stayed here to wait.
Enter the temple to thank God for his grace.
The officials were very happy to see Zhang Yue, and immediately asked the eunuchs to issue an edict to give Zhang Yue a pair of clothes, a gold belt, and a gold-painted pommel horse.
The official smiled at Zhang Yue and said, "Emperor Taizong once said to Zaizhi that Hanlin is really the job of an immortal. Today Zhang Qing can be said to be an immortal."
Zhang Yue said cautiously: "Reporting to your majesty, as a Hanlin scholar is a professional, the choice of characters is the best, and the honor of Confucianism and Mohism is also the best. Ministers should use frugality to alleviate poverty, and Dumen should save trouble to repay the emperor's kindness.
"
The official was very happy after hearing this and gave Zhang Yue a seat and a bowl of tea.
The seat is a chair with a backrest, and a bowl of tea soup is provided. These are the benefits only a prime minister can have.
The official said to Zhang Yue: "The day before yesterday, your Majesty advised me to personally take over the big government, thinking that it was a big plan for reform. I have thought a lot about this matter. Although I have not reported it to the empress dowager of the two palaces, I see that my ancestor Taizong once told me, 'The way of doing nothing, I should do it.'"
'. Emperor Zhenzong also said, 'All military and state affairs, no matter how big or small, must be discussed with your ministers and others. I am not arbitrary, and your ministers and others will not hide anything, just to support my wishes.'"
"At the beginning, Mr. Fu Zheng also advised me that if there are too many personal approvals and if everything is right, it is not the way to be a king. If you miss seven or eight out of ten, over time, you will lose a lot."
"Therefore, I decided to entrust the reform to the prime minister."
This was not what Zhang Yue expected. It would be strange if the emperor agreed all at once. The emperor just mentioned the two queen mothers and Fu Bi, and he must be worried about the opposition of the harem and conservatives.
Zhang Yue said: "I am worried that the second government will not be able to carry out the plan."
The official smiled and said: "I will supervise it, but I will keep Zhang Qing's words in my heart."
At this point, the official gave Zhang Yue a few words of encouragement. Zhang Yue thought that his purpose of showing loyalty had been achieved, so he said nothing more.
After meeting the emperor, Zhang Yue left the palace again, still led by two court officials one after the other.
There are two types of introductions to the palace: single introduction and double introduction. In the past, Zhang Yue used single introduction, that is, one person led the way, but now it is double introduction. This is for grace.
All these ceremonies follow the worship ritual handed down from the Tang Dynasty.
Hanlin bachelors are the confidants of the emperor, and there were many other gifts when they first paid homage. Although it has been simplified now, the grandness of the process does not need to be explained.
Then we went to the Academy of Academic Affairs. The Hanlin Academy of Academic Affairs is located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, adjacent to the Xuanhui Academy and the Privy Council.
There is a compound gate next to the gate of the Bachelor's Academy, which leads directly to the forbidden courtyard. If the emperor has an emergency and summons the Hanlin bachelors from Suzhi, he can go through this compound gate and go straight to the small hall of the east gate.
Because the Academy is a forbidden place, and there are bachelors staying in the Academy every night, once the emperor's order comes at night, a rope tied with a hanging bell must be shaken.
Anyone who wants to enter the Academy must ring the bell first and obtain permission from the academy official before entering.
In addition, when Zhang Yue passed by just now, he saw that there is a back door to Hanlin Academy. The back door faces north and has the word "North Gate" written on it. This is a story about the "North Gate Academy" in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Yue walked through the gate into the academy and reached the main hall. The imperial edict-waiting, recording, ministering, reporting, and driving officers of the academy were all waiting outside the courtyard to welcome him.
Zhang Yue glanced at the crowd, looked up at the top of the main hall, and saw the number "Yutang Office" written in the center of the hall. This was Fei Bai's letter written in red sand.
Both Renzong and today's emperors liked Fei Bai Shu, but this calligraphy was written by Emperor Taizong.
In the main hall, Hanlin bachelors Han Wei, Wang Lian, Yuan Jiang, and Zeng Bu were waiting. When Zhang Yue arrived, several people stood up to greet him.
Han Wei said: "People who live in Hanyuan are called Ling Yuqing and Shuo Zixiao. They are not only called Deng Yingzhou, but also called Deng Yutang."
"Su Taijian (Su Yijian) was a bachelor. Emperor Taizong tried to talk about the establishment of the Yutang, but it was falsely passed down and the name was never corrected. Therefore, Emperor Taizong gave it a letter with the inscription "Yutang Zhishi". Su Taijian placed the imperial treasure in the hall.
, every time the bachelor goes to school, he takes it out and starts watching."
Immediately everyone in Zhang Yue admired Emperor Taizong's calligraphy.
The real emphasis on scholars in the Song Dynasty began with Emperor Taizong, and it was Emperor Taizong who gave the Yutang its name.
Emperor Taizong favored Su Yijian at first. After Su Yijian was appointed as a Hanlin bachelor, he named the Hanlin bachelor's academy Yutang.
You must know that the three forbidden palaces in the Tang Dynasty were Yutang, Chengming, and Jinluan. Emperor Taizong gave the name of the palace where the emperor lived to the Hanlin Academy.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it was no big deal that eighteen academicians came to Yingzhou. In the Song Dynasty, the Hanlin academicians were in Yutang, which can be said to be the residence of gods and immortals.
Re-employing scholars is a custom passed down from Emperor Taizong.
When Zhang Yue heard Han Wei talk about this allusion, he immediately said sincerely: "This is really a beautiful thing for Hanlin."
After saying that, he put Taizong's imperial pen back into the box.
Then Zhang Yue sat down in the hall, Han Wei, Zeng Bu went to the east chamber of the Yutang, Yuan Jiang and Wang Lian sat in the west chamber, and then the court officials came forward to pay homage.
After paying homage, several people sat down and talked for a while. Zhang Yue sat on a chair and looked at the Yutang, but he saw that the left and right walls were several feet long, and were painted in the shape of waves on the sea. At first glance, the wind and waves were vast, and they should be imitating Yingzhou.
image.
The dialogue here is all about purple-robed officials. They are not only the top among civil servants, but also the first-class scholars in the world. No wonder this place is called the residence of gods and immortals.
After a while in Yuanjiang, Zeng Bu said goodbye to Zhang Yue and went to Kaifeng Mansion, where the third minister went to the Yamen.
Soon the eunuch arrived at the Imperial Academy and said, "Your Majesty has given the new Hanlin bachelor a banquet upon entering the Academy."
It is also the usual procedure for a newly appointed Hanlin bachelor to give a banquet in the bachelor's college.
Zhang Yue thanked him immediately.
Han Wei said: "Emperor Taizong came to this main hall in person. Except for the new bachelor who was just sitting there, we work in various halls on weekdays. The East Hall of Yutang is the Chengzhi Hall, and now it is a temporary residence. In addition, the West Hall is the second hall.
The hall was where Lu Da Shen originally lived. After the Yutang, there are two east and west halls, where Zeng Xueshi and Yuan Xueshi lived respectively, and the third hall is located in the northeast, and is now where Wang Xueshi lives."
"Duan Ming can choose a place where no one lives in the same room."
Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Lian and thought, this is the person sitting in the third hall?
Wang Lian smiled and nodded to Zhang Yue, who returned the favor.
Han Wei looked at the two of them and smiled slightly. There was a huge locust tree in front of the third hall of the Bachelor's College, so it was called the Sophora Hall. According to legend, many Hanlin bachelors who lived in the third hall later became prime ministers.
Therefore, there are often jokes about Hanlin bachelors fighting for the Sophora Hall. In the past, there was a "good story" about someone competing for this hall and throwing another bachelor's luggage directly out.
And this Wang Lian was so clever that he actually won the third hall.
Zhang Yue immediately smiled and said: "Since Lu Dacan has gone to Zhongshu, I will use his hall."
Han Wei smiled and nodded.
There are six Hanlin bachelor's positions in total, so in addition to the third hall, there is actually a Liuhe courtyard in the bachelor's college.
According to the layout of the courtyard, the Yutang as the main hall is the first, followed by the East and West, and then the East and West two courtyards and the third hall behind the Yutang.
Zhang Yueju Xihe is ranked second in the Bachelor's College.
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, Wang Lian nodded and expressed no objection.
Of course, Zhang Yue knew that Hanlin bachelors may not think so. The rules of the bachelor's college have always been based on the order of admission, not the level of official position.
In other words, the older you are, the better you are, not your official position.
However, the Ming Palace bachelor's degree is a position, not an official. Zhang Yue's current position means that all Hanlin bachelors, except Han Wei, have dropped one place in the ranking. They are not happy in their hearts.
But if you are unhappy, you will not be happy. Being an official does not make these people happy. They have to digest these emotions by themselves, and their eyes must always be fixed on the front and must not be disturbed by these external things.
Here, Zhang Yue asked Tang Jiu and the others to carry their luggage into the academy, while he walked around the bachelor's academy, and there were academy officials to guide Zhang Yue.
The academy is not big, so Zhang Yue could understand the layout after walking around for a while.
In addition to Yutang and Qihe Courtyard, there are six imperial-waiting rooms in the southwest of Yutang, Confucius Courtyard is in the west end, and the Driving Courtyard is in the east end.
The court official was also familiar with the story and introduced it carefully to Zhang Yue.
"This small building was built by Su Xueshi (Su Yijian) during the Chunhua period. It was even low and narrow at that time. In the third year of Tianxi, Qian Xueshi (Qian Weiyan) asked for it to be renovated. He removed the windows and doors and
With the curved sill, it is finally clear and open." The court official pointed to a small building and introduced it.
Zhang Yue arrived in front of the third hall again, and the court official said quite proudly: "These three halls are not very high and spacious, and they look the most inconspicuous. But in the Dazhong Xiangfu, Wang Xiang (Wang Zeng) lives in it, and the two
When he entered the political arena, Prime Minister Li (Li Di) lived in this hall again. Those who came after him often asked to live here. Therefore, this hall is often not empty. Duan Ming, look at the big locust tree on the front eaves of the third hall.
"It is tall and dense, which means that the pavilions are like canopies, so they are considered to be a sign of auspiciousness, and the scholars never let us and the officials of the academy cut them."
Zhang Yue nodded after hearing this. Hearing that it was Wang Zeng, Li Di could not help but be in awe.
In fact, this third hall is just an ordinary residence. There is nothing surprising at first glance, but just like the former residences of celebrities in later tourist attractions, when you get there, you can't help but respect the people who lived in this residence.
This is what is called humanistic sentiment.
Zhang Yue said to the court officials: "Yes, there are only six Hanlin bachelors, but why is there a Qihe courtyard?"
The official smiled and said: "The good teacher Duan Mingming knows that although Hanlin bachelors have six members, they do not follow this completely in every dynasty. There is often a shortage of members, and sometimes there is an overflow of members and it is difficult to organize them."
"For example, in the first year of Zhihe, Wang Xueshi (Wang Zhu) was a bachelor, and he was the seventh member, so he was called Yuan Waisheng. Therefore, the seventh room was used to live in Yuan Waisheng."
Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this and said, "There are other things like this, I understand."
