After the official appointed Yang Hui as a Hanlin bachelor, he took the first bachelor's seat, followed by Zhang Yue, Wang Lian, Chen Yi, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dun in the academy.
After Zhang Dun arrived at the academy, the academy made arrangements for Su Zhi, but something surprised everyone.
It turned out that after Zhang Dun arrived at the hospital, he refused to accept the money for refining his pen. One day, other officials offered him money for refining his pen when writing imperial edicts, but Zhang Dun refused.
What did the other party think, and insisted that Zhang Dun accept it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dun actually hung the writing fee directly on the beam.
After several court officials heard about this, they immediately reported it to Yang Hui.
Yang Hui looked at the anxious expressions of these court officials and said several bad things about Zhang Dun with added jealousy. He knew that they had no good impressions of Zhang Dun at all.
Because the writing fee was divided up and down, not only the Hanlin bachelors, but also the academic officials also benefited from it. Zhang Dun refused to accept it, which made them dissatisfied and cut off the other party's financial path.
Yang Hui immediately summoned Zhang Dun for questioning.
Yang Huize said: "Although Hanlin bachelor's degree has a distinguished status, if there is no part-time job, there will be no salary, so the official salary is not high."
"Yang Danian, the eldest brother of Zihou's hometown, wrote a poem to ridicule himself. He pretended to be a follower of Ganquan, but in the end he became a ghost like Ruo Ao. The follower's illness will not arise, and Fang Shuo will be hungry and want to die."
"Therefore, the late Emperor's grace allowed Hanlin scholars to accept the fee for refining their pens. Is there any controversy about this?"
Zhang Dun said: "Of course I know this, but in the second year of Xining, when Wang Xianggong was appointed Hanlin bachelor, he decided to abolish this bad practice. At that time, Wang Xianggong and other Hanlin bachelors refused to accept polished pens. Why is this practice still banned today?
Endless?"
The court officials spoke for Yang Hui one after another and said: "Who is Mr. Wang? He is an irrational person, otherwise he would not be dismissed. Without this money, how can everyone in the Hanyuan live?"
Zhang Dun scolded: "How many of us are talking? What qualifications do you have to talk?"
Yang Hui said: "There is something to say in the chapter."
Zhang Dun said: "Xiangong Wang wanted to get rid of the current malpractice in the academy because after Xining, Hanlin bachelors all had part-time jobs. Therefore, Wang Xianggong thought that since all Hanlin bachelors had part-time jobs, it was unreasonable to take this supplementary fee, so he took the initiative to return the money.
, I also want to set an example.”
"The bachelor Zu Zezhi (Zu Wuze) accepted this writing fee. What will happen to Zu Zezhi in the future? Doesn't the commander know?"
Several Hanlin officials in the academy did have part-time jobs. For example, Zhang Yue had a part-time job as a bachelor's degree scholar. This was considered a relatively small number of people, but someone like Yuan Jiang who had the job of serving as three envoys earned more money.
Seeing Ya Zhang, Yang Hui couldn't help but said: "If you want to do it, do it yourself. Don't spare others in the future."
Zhang Dun saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Commander Han."
Yang Hui was furious in his heart. How could the Hanlin bachelor get money after Zhang Dun's move? It simply offended his authority.
Yang Hui immediately sent court officials to discuss with Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue was attending the chariot at this time, so the court officials told Peng Jingyi exactly what happened and Yang Hui's attitude.
It was also the reason why Zhang Yue was willing to spend money. The court officials were very attentive to Zhang Yue, and any news would be conveyed to him immediately.
After Peng Jingyi understood it, he reported it to Zhang Yue who returned to the Bachelor's College after the Jingyan period.
The conflict broke out as soon as Zhang Dun was admitted to the hospital, which was something Zhang Yue expected.
It's just that Zhang Dun, as the lowest ranked Hanlin scholar in the academy, not only provoked Yang Hui, the leader of the Hanlin bachelors, but also challenged the established rules, which really surprised him.
To be honest, he didn't like the ugly rule about retouching fees.
In fact, not all of this money is given to the officials, most of it is divided up and down by the court officials, and even the grooms get a share. If the amount is too small, they will be unhappy, not try their best in small things, and even pass the Hanlin bachelor's degree
Little stories.
Can a dignified Hanlin scholar still act based on the expressions of the officials?
However, among the many Ren Hanlin bachelors, no one challenged this rule. After all, no one wanted to cause trouble. This position was only one step away from being in power, and no one could live happily for a few small dollars.
Peng Jingyi said: "Brother Dun lives up to his name, and his actions are unpredictable. I met him in Hanyuan the day before yesterday, and I didn't expect that he would still remember me."
Back then, Peng Jingyi and Zhang Yue, as the second generals of Hengha in the private school, were often mischievous and caused trouble for their respective families.
"Brother Dun didn't give me a good look back then. Speaking of which...let's talk about it, Sanlang, if you had been like that later, Brother Dun probably wouldn't have hated you and me so much."
Zhang Yue glanced at Peng Jingyi. Everyone thought they saw the emperor's uncle changing his appearance after being expelled from school. In fact...
Zhang Yue said to Peng Jingyi: "Peng Da, sometimes the more embarrassed your family is, the people who harm you are often not outsiders but your own family."
"I came from a poor family to seek an official position. I know how difficult this road is, but no matter what, I should not blame my family!"
After saying this, Zhang Yue walked to Yang Hui's room and the two met.
Yang Hui then told him about Zhang Dun. Zhang Yue saw that Yang Hui was angry and said: "Zhang Zihou acted privately without informing Ming Han. It is really inappropriate."
After a moment, Zhang Yue said: "This Zhang Zihou loves to stir things up."
"But now the academicians in the bachelor's college are indeed lacking in discipline. On the surface, they seem to be submissive. They do whatever we bachelors say, but they only do it when we say it. If we don't say it, we don't do it. In fact, they are arrogant and neglectful."
"There are even some old officials who can't do anything, but they say weird things even if their writing fees are even less."
Hearing this, Yang Hui was convinced that all yamen had problems, and Hanlin Academy was no exception. It was extremely difficult to drastically reform the administration of officials.
Yang Hui sighed: "It's true that these court officials are too popular and too familiar with things. But how to get rid of them?"
Zhang Yue said: "How many of us are involved in this matter? No matter who it is, it will offend others. But as long as this matter gets serious, Zhongshu will definitely take action. If the Zhongshu orders me to make arrangements at that time, will it be difficult for the court officials to return the favor?"
Is it going to be difficult for me to go to Zhongshu?"
Hearing this, Yang Hui said: "Du Zhi is still good at planning. It's just that it gave Zhang Zihou an advantage, and he took away the reputation of getting rid of bad habits.
"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "In the future, Zhang Zihou will seek benevolence and get benevolence, and seek hammer and get hammer. This is also his fate. For example, isn't it the same for Wang Xianggong?"
Yang Hui said: "What I'm saying is that at first I and Wang Xianggong were on good terms with each other, but later when he became the leader of the country, I thought it would be inappropriate to write down the Ten Articles of Abuse against him."
"Now that I think about it, my words were a little too passionate. Wang Xianggong's reforms have both disadvantages and advantages, but the disadvantages are greater than the advantages. Only those who come later can comment."
Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this and said, "Mr. Yang is not satisfied with the practical methods mentioned by Xianggong Lu a few days ago?"
Yang Hui said: "That's exactly what it is. This practical law requires every inch of soil in people's homes to be reported in advance, as well as chickens, dolphins, and livestock. If there is anything hidden, someone can report it and be rewarded with one-third of the seized assets. This is
How is it different from the method of suing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
What Yang Hui said was that Lu Huiqing proposed a very controversial new law today.
The main content of this actual law is to strictly declare the property of the people. Every chicken and duck must be reported to the court. Once someone conceals anything and is reported, the informer will be rewarded with one-third of his property.
Zhang Yue knew that Yang Hui did not miss Wang Anshi's kindness, but thought that one crab was not as good as one crab.
