I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 315 Entering the Imperial Academy for the First Time
The Hanlin Academy was in charge of imperial edicts, historical annals, and literary affairs, and served as advisors to the emperor.

As the emperor's secretarial agency, the Hanlin Academy was extremely high-level and noble in terms of status and functions.

All those who could enter the Hanlin Academy were among the emperor's disciples who were at the top of the imperial examinations. They had a bright future and were very likely to be promoted to the cabinet.

But it was such a palace and pavilion that many scholars dreamed of, but it was easy for Lu Xiangsheng.Therefore, as the number one scholar in Enke's palace examination, he has been awarded the post of editor (from the sixth grade) of the Hanlin Academy.

Although from high school Jinshi to the final conferment of positions, the court gave about half a month as a buffer to adapt.Moreover, during this period of time, Jinshi scholars can travel around or thank their teachers to comfort themselves after studying hard for several years.

But because Lu Xiangsheng came to Beijing early last year, the only people he met were Huang Dong, Zhang Weixin and others. He didn't like being tired of socializing every day, so he couldn't bear the loneliness and left early. Reported to Hanlin Academy.

In the Hanlin Academy, it was the first time to see Yuen Lang, the new champion, who had come to report so early. The clerks of the Hanlin Academy were a little surprised.

But after all, he was the number one scholar in the new subject of the dynasty, so he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly got up and invited Zhuang Jichang, who was also a compilator for the Hanlin Academy.

Zhuang Jichang was also a scholar, but he was born in the 47th year of Wanli. However, he only joined the Hanlin Academy last year, so he is still in the position of editor in the Hanlin Academy.

However, Zhuang Jichang was an open-minded and approachable man. When he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming, he personally guided him. He first took him to visit the Hanlin Academy for a while, and then took him to meet the lecturer Ding Shaoshi.

"Brother Jichang, I wonder if Wen Zhenmeng and Li Dingyuan are here?"

On the way there, Lu Xiangsheng noticed that he seemed to be the earliest and felt something was wrong, so he asked Zhuang Jichang whether the second and third best students in the same subject were here. Zhuang Jichang smiled and shook his head after hearing this.

"You were the first to come, but as soon as I heard that you were coming, hahaha, the two of them would probably be here soon."

Hearing Zhuang Jichang's joke, Lu Xiangsheng also smiled awkwardly and didn't care.

"Brother Jichang was joking. Lu is also busy in the capital with nothing to do, so he wanted to come over in advance to understand the situation. It would be a sin if it disturbed Wen Zhenmeng and Li Dingyuan's schedule."

Zhuang Jichang shook his head when he heard this, obviously not agreeing with his words.

"Haha, Brother Lu, don't worry. There is so much trouble in the world, why should you care too much about what others say? Otherwise, you are asking for trouble."

Lu Xiangsheng watched Zhuang Jichang say this and thought that Zhuang Jichang had experienced this kind of thing more than himself. He was forced to join the job last year precisely because of others' accusations.

During the palace examination in the 47th year of Wanli's reign, when he was making plans, he mistakenly read the word "熆" (醆) for "jiao" (熆), and the number was incorrectly written, causing a slight scratch on the roll surface.Because of this, he was criticized and said that the number one scholar was unreasonable. He was so angry that he resigned and asked for leave to return home.It was not until the new emperor ascended the throne last year that he was recalled to the Hanlin Academy to teach compilation and participate in the compilation of national history.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was full of sympathy for him. Who to choose as the number one scholar was a matter that could only be decided by the emperor and the cabinet.Whoever chooses has their own reasons, how can others be qualified to judge.

However, he looked at Zhuang Jichang indifferently, so he didn't ask any questions and just followed his footsteps silently.

"The highest official position in the Hanlin Academy is the Hanlin Bachelor. However, since the 45th year of Wanli, the post of Hanlin Bachelor has been vacant, and even the attendants and lecturers cannot be found. Fortunately, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he reopened the Scripture feast and appointed Sun Chengzong Sun Ge Lao and Ding Shaoshi and Ding Shijiao were the two people who made our Hanlin Academy lively.

Now Mr. Sun Ge has entered the Cabinet and Military Aircraft Department. Although he is still on duty as a bachelor, he does not come here to work on weekdays.Therefore, the highest position in the Hanlin Academy is Ding Shaoshi, the associate lecturer. "

Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard this. He already knew about the establishment of the Hanlin Academy.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was only one Hanlin bachelor, who was the head of the Hanlin Academy.His duties were mainly to serve as the emperor's advisor, responsible for drafting the emperor's edicts, managing historical annals, literature, examination systems, detailed and correct documents, etc.All compiled records, jade documents, historical records, and Liucao Zhangzou can be inherited by the emperor's order.

Below the bachelor's degree are the Shidu and Shile (Bachelor). These two people are responsible for teaching the history of reading scriptures. To put it bluntly, they are the emperor's teachers. Their status is also very important. They can often meet with the emperor. As long as they are elected, they are very likely to be promoted. .

Next to the attendants are the Doctors of the Five Classics. There are five people at the beginning, and they are responsible for specializing in the lectures on the classics.This position is used to specially arrange the descendants of sages and Confucians, and it is hereditary. It does not care about the specific affairs of the Hanlin Academy, so it is neither important nor unimportant.

Below the Doctor of the Five Classics is the historian, which includes Hanlin compilation, Hanlin editing, Hanlin review, etc. They are responsible for specializing in the history of the country and are responsible for the collection and organization of literary and historical archives (such as notes on the emperor's daily life, etc.).At the same time, after a long time, you can also serve as an examiner for the provincial examination and the same examiner for the general examination.

These positions are the most important, and those who can hold them are all top three in the imperial examination, etc.

In addition, there are Shujishi (second or third grade Jinshi who have passed the examination) who study in the Hanlin Academy and teach them as bachelors.However, Lu Xiangsheng and others do not need to, because they serve directly in the Hanlin Academy.So after Lu Xiangsheng heard Zhuang Jichang's introduction, he knew how important Ding Shaoshi's status was now.Since Sun Chengzong was valued by the emperor for his excellent test lectures and was appointed as an assistant minister in the cabinet, Ding Shaoshi, the test teacher in the same batch as him, was afraid that he might also join the cabinet.

"The room ahead is where Ding Shiyan will be speaking. I have sent someone to notify you in advance. You can just go in."

"Thank you, Brother Zhuang, sorry for bothering me."

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly leaned slightly towards Zhuang Jichang, thanked him, and then pushed open the courtyard door in front of him without being humble or condescending. At this time, the Kongmu scribe inside had been waiting here, and when he saw him coming, he just waved his hand to let him in.

The courtyard does not look very big, but the sign hanging on the left indicates that it is a library. In the house on the right, many scribes can be seen coming in and out, obviously copying imperial edicts, records, etc.

As Lu Xiangsheng walked through the middle corridor, many scribes on the right side looked at him with interest and excitement.They had received the news a long time ago and knew that this was the current number one pick, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

With a creaking sound, the innermost door was gently pushed open by Lu Xiangsheng, and a man of over [-] years old wearing official uniform was seen immersed in writing papers.He didn't stop writing when he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming in, and seemed not to notice the sound of his coming in.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw this, he did not dare to disturb him, so he waited respectfully at the door.After a while, Ding Shaoshi finally finished writing. He raised it with satisfaction and looked at what he had written. Then he looked back and saw Lu Xiangsheng standing at the door with his hands clasped.

"Lu Xiangsheng, who is newly promoted to the Hanlin Academy and has a humble position, came to see the lecturer. I just saw that the lecturer was eager to write a book, so I didn't bother you. Please forgive me."

Only then did Ding Shaoshi notice the Enke champion. He had seen Lu Xiangsheng from a distance before during the Chuanlu Ceremony. Now that they met again, he felt that his arms were thick and strong, which was different from ordinary people.

"Nothing, I was writing an article just now, and I haven't noticed you yet."

Ding Shaoshi waved his hand and asked Lu Xiangsheng to sit down and relax.

"The Hanlin Academy is a place of nobles and nobles. It is usually responsible for the production of imperial edicts, historical annals, and literary works, so these things must not be careless. You have just compiled a book for the Hanlin Academy. Although your status is important, you cannot be careless. You can first make a good living in the library. Refer to previous memorials to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of your subordinates.

Now Zhuang Jichang and others are also compiling the records of Guangzong, which is also your future work.You can communicate more with Zhuang Jichang and the others to get familiar with the affairs. "

Ding Shaoshi had no ill intentions towards Lu Xiangsheng. After all, he had been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and he would not be surprised if the number one scholar came and went every three years.Now that Lu Xiangsheng has arrived, there is nothing special about him, so he simply assigns tasks.

"Students understand."

"Well, the work of the Hanlin Academy can be complicated or complicated, and it can be simple or simple, it all depends on how you grasp it. Today, His Majesty attaches great importance to practical matters and despises empty words. He attaches great importance to you Enke Jinshi and has readjusted many Guanzheng Jinshi. arrange.

Since you are the top scholar in Enke, you will naturally be taken seriously by His Majesty, and your appointment will even be rearranged.But that is all for the future. No matter what, if you are still in the Hanlin Academy now, then you should prepare and compile books, read the title books and articles, practice more, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and avoid being too ambitious. "

When Lu Xiangsheng heard Ding Shaoshi's words, he quickly stood up and thanked him.He naturally understood that Ding Shaoshi was encouraging him to be pragmatic, do his job well, and never be too ambitious, otherwise it would be extremely detrimental to him.

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Lu. I am very grateful. I will definitely do my job well and be practical and pragmatic."

"Well, I'm relieved. Then you should first familiarize yourself with the situation of the Hanlin Academy with Zhuang Jichang. You're still early. Although you can go to work at midnight, the real work will be done after Wen Zhenmeng and Li Dingyuan take office. Bar."

Ding Shaoshi nodded when he heard this. It seemed that he had listened to his opinion, so he didn't want to say anything. Then he waved his hand and asked Lu Xiangsheng to go out and take a look.

"It seems that the Master still attaches great importance to you. You must know that he is usually very strict and treats other people without pretense."

Zhuang Jichang couldn't help but be surprised when Lu Xiangsheng recalled the conversation with Ding Shaoshi after he came back, thinking that Ding Shaoshi's attitude towards Lu Xiangsheng was still different from that of others.

But there are more ways that Lu Xiangsheng is different from others.Just when Zhuang Jichang was taking Lu Xiangsheng and others to get familiar with the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Chang, the emperor's personal eunuch, suddenly arrived here.

"Your Majesty has been ordered to summon Lu Xiangsheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to pay an audience."
