Chapter 186 185 Entering Hanlin

The Hanlin Academy was established in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was a court worship agency, which housed literature, classics, divination, medicine, monks, calligraphy and painting, and chess talents. It accompanied the emperor to visit banquets and entertainment. It was collectively called the Hanlin Academy and was not an official official office.

During this period, Hanlin Academy gathered more people from all walks of life and industry, especially in entertainment.

After the vassal states ruled the world in the late Tang Dynasty, it gradually became an important institution for drafting secret edicts. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it became a formal official position and was in line with the imperial examinations, and was known as the "personal emperor".

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the establishment of the cabinet system, the Hanlin Academy gradually lost the responsibility of becoming the secretary of the emperor and became a place for talent cultivation, responsible for compiling books and history, drafting edicts, serving as members of the royal family, serving as imperial examination officers, etc., with a noble status.

Although the Hanlin Academy is only a fifth-rank yamen, because the original cabinet actually belonged to the Hanlin Academy, the rank of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is still only a fifth-rank rank. However, the Hanlin Academy has always been the group of scholars with the highest status in society, gathering the elites among the intellectuals at that time and having a superior social status.

The glory of becoming a Hanlin bachelor also made a large number of scholars devote themselves to the imperial examination, hoping that one day they would be "selected to Hanlin".

In the past, Shuji scholars who entered the Hanlin Academy often walked together and went to the Hanlin Academy to report together.

However, this year is a bit special. As long as Wei Guangde receives this grace alone, even this is the emperor's personal decision, it is not the choice of the Hanlin Academy.

Wei Guangde has learned from other channels that the whole story of his "selected Hanlin" this time. Except for not knowing what the emperor thought, everything else is clear.

Fortunately, when Wei Guangde was at home, every New Year's Day, his father would talk about the family history when worshiping his ancestors, otherwise Wei Guangde would have thought that his family had anything to do with the old Zhu family.

He took the carriage to the gate of Hanlinyuan. Wei Guangde jumped out of the carriage, "You can find a place nearby to rest, and it's time to have a meal."

Because he came to the Hanlin Academy on the first day to report that Wei Guangde could not take Zhang Ji in, and he didn't know if he had an independent office, what he was assigned to do, and who was arranged to be responsible for his study.

Asking Zhang Ji and Li San to find a place to wait, Wei Guangde walked outside the gate of the Hanlin Academy and issued the note given by the Ministry of Rites to the on-duty officers, and he let him enter here.

Wei Guangde was a little nervous at this moment because he decided to not order a Shujishi in this subject early in the morning, so the Hanlin Academy had no intention of accepting people. He was personally clicked in by the emperor and did not know whether he was welcomed or not.

After a few steps into the door, Wei Guangde planned to find someone to ask who he should look for. Although Yin Tai is now in charge of Hanlin Academy, he still has the title of "Jinshi Junshi", and he may not be here now.

Wei Guangde had a naive face, so he was naturally seen by a Hanlin who passed by. He walked behind Wei Guangde, then stopped in front of him, and asked curiously: "You are Wei Chuanlu."

"I dare not, the backward student Wei Guangde greets the adults."

The man wore a black hat and a blue ball collar shirt, and had to wear a carved silver belt. The patch on his chest was a white squid. When Wei Guangde saw the person facing him, he immediately knew that this was a fifth-rank official.

Wei Guangde did not know this person, so he naturally knew that he was definitely not from Jiangxi.

"Haha, then I'll call you Guangde. Are you reporting to the Hanlin Academy?"

The visitor obviously knew him as a Shuji scholar. In fact, the officialdom in the capital had spread a few days ago. This year, Emperor Jiajing ordered Wei Guangde to enter the Hanlin Academy to serve as a Shuji scholar.

"yes."

Wei Guangde replied respectfully.

"No need to be restrained. My name is Wu Qing. I am a bachelor's degree in this college. If you are just a first-timer, you should go to Lord Yin's place first."

Wu Qing smiled and then looked back, guessing that Wei Guangde might not know him, so he continued, "In this way, I'll take you there, anyway."

"Thank you, Lord Wu."

Wei Guangde immediately said gratefully.

Wu Qing led the way, and Wei Guangde quickly chatted with him, knowing that he had only been promoted to bachelor's degree this year. He was just an editor before, and he had been admitted to the exam for several years before he was promoted.

"Maybe I will be sent to study like Brother Ziyi for a few more years."

At the end, Wu Qing said helplessly that the brother Ziyi he mentioned was Kang Siqian, the examiner of Wei Guangde.

The outside world says that the Hanlin Academy is noble and is the prime minister, but how many people in the Hanlin Academy can overcome that hurdle and become a Grand Secretary admired by everyone and enter the cabinet.

More Hanlin people were actually sent to various provinces as students to serve as the governor of the six ministries or the inspectors. They still retain the opportunity to continue to attack the cabinet ministers, and more people are at the level of governors outside the country, and they will end up being the first level of governors.

Soon, Wu Qing took Wei Guangde to the outside of a public room.

"Mr. Yin should be in there. Today, Shujishi reported that he would not come."

Wu Qing smiled at Wei Guangde, then clasped his fists, turned around and left his public housing.

After Wei Guangde respectfully saluted Wu Qing, he took a look at the pretty grand public housing and walked over.

Today is the day when Shujishi entered the Hanlin Academy. As the chief yard, Yin Tai naturally arrived.

After the clerk took Wei Guangde into the house, Wei Guangde hurriedly bowed to Yin Zhanshi, "The student Wei Guangde from behind met with Lord Yin."

"Guangde is here, you can sit down."

Wei Guangde gave Yin Tai a good feeling, so he did not put on airs, but showed Wei Guangde a very kind seat. After the clerk brought tea, he said, "I think your teachers should have mentioned you. You still have a long way to go to learn, so I won't say much.

Now that you have been blessed by Your Majesty and have been clicked into this Hanlin Academy, you will be content to study hard in the past three years. With the respect your Majesty has given you, you will surely make a fortune in the future.

However, before that, when I entered the Hanlin Academy, I calmed down and didn’t care about the things outside, especially those in the court.

Even if you really have any ideas, let me tell you first, don’t take the Jinshi to the Ministry of Rites like last time. Do you know how bad the impact is?"

After Wei Guangde sat down for a while, when he heard Du Yintai say this, he knew that he was reminding him, so he quickly stood up and saluted, "Students remember."

Although Wei Guangde had an official position, he had no official position. In such an occasion, he could only call himself a student, and even the words "lower official" and "lower official" could not be used.

"I was a student at that time. I was just a student. I only did such a thing when I first heard about the disaster in Shanxi and Shaanxi and the court's mishandling strategy. I did it, and I won't do it anymore."

Wei Guangde hurriedly added.

"Sit down, don't be nervous, don't be so restrictive."

Yin Tai smiled and waved his hand to signal him to sit down.

At this time, Tao Dalin, the top scholar in the current academic year, also came together to visit Yin Zhangyuan, and soon Tanhua Jinda arrived.

All three of them have editors and editors, so they are naturally not comparable to Wei Guangde.

The three of them paid a visit to Yin Zhangyuan and greeted Wei Guangde.

After talking in the public housing for a while, Yin Tai called the clerk to handle their entry procedures and assign their responsibilities.

Wei Guangde was a Shujishi, but he was sent too much to follow the bachelor. Yin Tai had not considered it before and needed to discuss it with the bachelor.

The Hanlin Academy has positions such as attendant, lecturer, editor, editor, and review. Later, there are also doctors of the Five Classics, classics, attendant, and other positions, but these are all miscellaneous officials who are not in the eighth or ninth ranks.

The Hanlin Academy did not plan to accept Shujishi this year, so naturally the existing bachelors did not plan to bring people before. In the past few days, Yin Tai had delayed other things and did not have time to ask if anyone asked Wei Guangde to come and help, so he just arranged for him to have a public housing house first and took some books from the library to read.

Although there are many official positions in the Hanlin Academy, there is actually nothing to do.

The attendant and the attendant and the attendant and the attendant were both published and registered scriptures, preaching scriptures and history for the emperor and the crown prince, and serving as consultants.

The compilation is to compile the history of the country, to compile the records of the emperor's words and deeds, to preach the classics and history, and to draft the manuscripts of relevant ceremonies; the compilation is to compile the records, to compile the history of the previous dynasty, and to learn the records of the country, to prepare the records of the previous dynasty; the review is to compile the history of the country, to proofread and organize the review.

Shujishi was a student of the attendant and the lecturer. They preached to the emperor and the prince. The preparation work was usually arranged by these Shujishishi, and they searched for the source of ancient books.

The attendant and the attendant often also have the task of studying books, so naturally the Shujis do it and copy it.

But at this point, because the prince was not appointed, Emperor Jiajing did not often hold lectures, and the scholars of nature were all idle and could only write books and play, but there was no shortage of manpower.

Wei Guangde's position is naturally a bit awkward.

Wei Guangde had a premonition of such an environment early in the morning. After all, he knew that Jinke did not plan to acquire Shujishi, so it would definitely take time to resettle it, so he was not in a hurry.

Wei Guangde was taken to his public housing, and the clerk in charge was named Lu and Lu Bu, a very interesting name.

The public housing was cleaned up early in the morning. Although there were many people in the Hanlin Academy, there were more public housing.

Sitting at his desk, Wei Guangde drank the tea brought by Lu Bu, chatted with him casually, and learned about the situation in the Hanlin Academy.

These things were unknown to the people outside the courtyard, and they happened to be free now, so Wei Guangde learned about the situation from Lu Bu.

"So, there are actually not many things in the Hanlin Academy, and everyone is still very leisurely?"

Wei Guangde asked for a long time and frowned.

"That is, there is something to do in compilation, editing and reviewing, but nothing else is done. The scholars often just look at the books they like to read and say they are studying books.

If you really have to practice books seriously, you can only be prepared by the emperor’s orders, so that they can accumulate strength. After all, if you put in your efforts, you can see the results."

It's easy to understand.

The emperor asked someone to write a book, and naturally he would receive rewards and financial support if he had finished it.

"Then take me to the library tomorrow to check it out. I'll find a few books to read first."

Wei Guangde ordered to Ruble, "By the way, can I bring my own book in and read it?"

“No ban.”

Although I don’t know what books Wei Guangde said he wanted to read, and the books in the Hanlin Academy Library were all gone, and there was no shortage of books to read, but in the face of Wei Guangde’s question, the clerk still answered.

"Does the yamen have lunch by themselves or there is a canteen?"

Wei Guangde asked again.

"Only I eat it myself, and the cafeteria has been out of business for a long time, so everyone doesn't want to eat anything there."

Lu Bu answered.

"There's another thing."

Wei Guangde finally expressed his intimate question, "I have seen the Ming Dynasty official system, how did this Shujishi pay the salary?"

Wei Guangde now only has an official body but no job. He wears a blue ball collar shirt but no patches, and he feels a bit inappropriate.

Although the people who are observing politics are also wearing this, the time is not long, ranging from three to five months to one year, and they are promoted to official positions. But I have to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years.

"Salary? The Salary of Shuji has no salary."
