[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Chapter 29 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (29)

After the Qionglin Banquet ended, the imperial court’s arrangement for new subjects came out. This dynasty’s arrangements for new subjects were basically in accordance with those of the previous dynasty. Xiu, a seventh-rank official, and other Jinshi want to enter the Hanlin, they need to pass the exam, and only those with excellent grades can squeeze into this Qingshui yamen.

So many people want to enter the Hanlin, but it is because of the rule that non-jinshi can not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin can not enter the cabinet. Lin Yuzhou is very disapproving of this, but he has to do as the Romans do. Fortunately, this rule will not exist for long. It will be abolished sooner or later.

Emperor Jialong wanted to use Lin Ruhai heavily, so even if Lin Yuzhou got close to Ji Shengyan, he would not violate the regulations and release the champion handpicked out of Beijing.Lin Yuzhou received the imperial edict early in the morning, and he had to go to the Imperial Academy to report.

The court clothes were delivered together with the imperial edict. Lin Yuzhou changed into the court clothes and official hat, sat in the same carriage with Lin Ruhai, and headed towards the palace.

Today is not the day of the imperial court, Lin Ruhai is going to the imperial palace to attend the early court, but Lin Yuzhou, a sixth-rank official, is not qualified to attend the early court, so he got off the car halfway to the Hanlin Academy.

Waking up early in the morning, the father and son had to sit in the carriage to eat breakfast, with the sound of chewing one after another. The egg-filled biscuits they ate were made by Lin Yuzhou based on his memory, full of modernity.

After eating the cake, Lin Yuzhou took another sip of water, then turned to Lin Ruhai and asked, "Father will be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry after the next morning court?"

Lin Ruhai wiped his hands, nodded and said: "It has been decided that the six officials of the imperial court seem to be of the same rank, but there is always a distinction between superior and inferior. The Ministry of Industry is ranked last in the sixth department."

"The emperor intends to let me be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and let me accumulate qualifications in the Ministry of Industry first, but if you are close to His Royal Highness, the emperor may give up this plan."

Lin Yuzhou said in a low voice, "The son has made things difficult for the father."

Lin Ruhai shook his head, and knocked on Lin Yuzhou: "The six departments are the same to me. As long as you are promising, I can resign from office and go back to seclusion."

"Don't." Lin Yuzhou said with a smile: "Father, you believe in your son, the Ministry of Industry will definitely be the most important department in this country in the future."

The so-called science and technology is the primary productive force. According to the plan of Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan, all ministries of the imperial court may have to rely on the Ministry of Industry in the future. Parents need to be well protected and filial.

Lin Ruhai heard something different from Lin Yuzhou's words, and he asked again on purpose, the carriage had already reached the gate of the Imperial Academy, Lin Yuzhou jumped down and left with a smile.

To put it bluntly, Hanlin is the emperor's secretary, so the Hanlin Academy is also the emperor's secretariat. The most important work here every day is to help the emperor draft edicts besides compiling books and history. There are all of them. These people have spent most of their lives here in order to gain qualifications and enter the cabinet.

When Lin Yuzhou entered the Hanlin Academy, Li Suqing, the second in the list, had already arrived. This man looked like a Tie Hanhan, holding a large stack of books and slowly moving forward with an old Hanlin, who was humming a ditty while hanging a cigarette pipe. Walking unsteadily ahead.

Just arrived at the new workplace and encountered workplace bullying?Lin Yuzhou's heart skipped a beat, and before he could think about it, he heard a shout: "Lin Xiuzhuan!"

Lin Yuzhou turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his 30s running towards him.

The middle-aged man stood still, panting and said: "I have been waiting for Lin Xiuzhuan for a long time, my surname is Liu, and we will be colleagues in the future. The director asked me to show Lin Xiuzhuan a tour of the Imperial Academy, and then tell you what to do next." things to do."

I am treated so well?Lin Yuzhou glanced at Li Suqing. They are both newcomers in the workplace, so the difference in treatment is too great.

"Then I would like to thank Master Liu." Lin Yuzhou cupped his hands and said.

"You don't need to be so polite, Mr. Lin will follow me."

Lin Yuzhou followed this Imperial official named Liu Ju to walk around the Imperial Academy inside and out.This place occupies a very large area, the west is the lecture hall, the east is the editing and inspection hall, and then there are the champion hall, the waiting hall, the book hall, and the back hall is the back hall, and the main hall is prepared for the emperor's visit. The throne, and the halls on both sides are the library.

Lin Yuzhou is editing and writing. It is reasonable to say that he has to stay in the east hall to compile books and write history, but he is the champion of the new subject, and he needs to take a few days of classes with other admitted scholars. After he is familiar with the work process, he can start to work independently .

After the two finished shopping in the back hall, when they walked to the front hall, Liu Ju took Lin Yuzhou to a secluded place, and he whispered: "Lin Xiuzhuan, His Royal Highness said that you will be transferred to the East Palace in a few days to serve as the prince's attendant. .”

Is this a prince/party?Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned into Liu Ju's ear and asked, "How many princes/parties are there here?"

The corner of Liu Ju's mouth twitched, he coughed, and said in a low voice: "Lin Xiuzhuan was joking, it is the duty of the entire Imperial Academy to share the worries of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Well, Lin Yuzhou understands that the entire Imperial Academy is under Ji Shengyan's sphere of influence. He has been the prince for more than ten years for nothing, and he has the future of the country in his hands.

Although he knew Liu Ju's identity, Lin Yuzhou didn't want to talk about Ji Shengyan with him here, so he changed the subject and asked, "Master Liu, what am I going to do next?"

"Lin Xiuzhuan, don't be so polite, just call me Liu Shuchang." Liu Ju waved his hand and said as he walked back with Lin Yuzhou: "The work of the Imperial Academy is very trivial, and Lin Xiuzhuan's job today is to inspect and Supplementary history books."

Lin Yuzhou understood that a newcomer in the workplace does trivial and boring jobs. Fortunately, he has a capable father and a capable partner. The advantage of having many backers is that no one dares to trip him up.

Back in the corridor of the front yard, Lin Yuzhou looked up and saw Chen Zhuoyuan, the candidate for this imperial examination, walking in.

The old Hanlin, who was shouting at Li Suqing, saw the new Tanhua walking in, and immediately changed his expression. He trotted to Chen Zhuoyuan, and smiled flatteringly: "Chen Tanhua, my surname is Kong, and the master told me to wait for you here."

"Hey, I said Kong Shuchang, that's not what the Head Academy said." Liu Ju folded his arms and leaned against the pillar in the corridor, "The Head Academy clearly wants you to introduce Li Bianxiu to familiarize himself with the Imperial Academy."

Old Hanlin's complexion changed, before he could speak, he was pushed aside by Chen Zhuoyuan, who walked up to Lin Yuzhou and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lin, I really admire the respectful poem at the Qionglin Banquet."

"Editor Chen is absurd." Lin Yuzhou smiled back and bowed. It seems that the Imperial Academy is not all under Ji Shengyan's control, especially the old and pedantic Hanlin. Not small, holding Chen Zhuoyuan like this is only because the other party has a relative named Chen Minchun.

Now the chief assistant of the cabinet has reached the age of becoming an official, and Chen Minchun is one of the most competitive candidates for the next chief assistant.

Chen Zhuoyuan ignored the alienation in Lin Yuzhou's eyes, he still smiled and said: "Today, I have reserved a banquet in Huiyaju, I invite Brother Lin and Brother Li to have a gathering, and I invite you two to show respect."

Knowing that he was close to Ji Shengyan, he still invited himself to dinner. Chen Zhuoyuan was throwing a banquet at the Hongmen, but after thinking about it, Lin Yuzhou smiled and said, "Brother Chen has spent money, I will definitely go."

Li Suqing didn't expect that Chen Zhuoyuan would invite him, but he still refused.Li Suqing is not from the capital, and his relatives came from their hometown today, so he needs to make arrangements for them.

Chen Zhuoyuan's target was Lin Yuzhou, and Li Suqing picked it up, so he didn't force him if he didn't go to Huiyaju.

Lin Yuzhou and Chen Zhuoyuan exchanged a few more words of mutual compliment, and then they walked to the editorial office under the leadership of Liu Ju.After the entry procedures were completed, Liu Ju arranged a position for him, and he started the first day of work.

There is a wooden board in the center of the editing and inspection hall, on which many work plans and work goals are pasted. Each work plan is marked with a number, corresponding to everyone's position. This working mode makes Lin Yuzhou feel familiar.

"This is from the Ministry of Education and Industry. His Royal Highness said that all departments need to be open and transparent in their work, and there is nothing to say to others, so I will list the things to be done in the future and post them on the bulletin board, so that we can supervise each other. , and can also check for omissions and fill in vacancies.”

After Liu Ju explained, Lin Yuzhou chuckled, this is Ji Shengyan's style of doing things.

"After the imperial examination, the Hanlin Academy will hold an imperial examination. The two abbots are now in the Wenhua Hall. Today they are invisible. After the imperial examination, the nobles will be admitted. Lin Xiuzhuan will meet the two aristocrats. .”

After Liu Ju told Lin Yuzhou some potential rules of the Imperial Academy in a low voice, he left to do his own business.Lin Yuzhou looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk case, opened the newly compiled history books on the desk case, and began to check.

After the early court, Emperor Jialong kept Lin Ruhai behind, and the monarch and his ministers had a good talk, and after receiving Lin Ruhai's pledge of loyalty, he let him go.

After Lin Ruhai left, Emperor Jialong sat cross-legged on the dragon chair with his sleeves covered. Dai Quan came over with a cup of tea, but he waved it away.

"Dai Quan, Lin Yuzhou is Lin Ruhai's adoptive son?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Dai Quan handed the teacup to the little eunuch behind him, walked up to Emperor Jialong with small steps, and said with a soft smile, "Lord Lin is lucky to have such a son as Zhuangyuan Lin."

"This is also Lin Yuzhou's luck." Emperor Jialong raised his eyebrows, "Chen Guifei wants Cong'er to accept Lin Ruhai's daughter as a side concubine, what do you think?"

"There is no servant to speak about this matter, His Majesty is the master."

"I will be very happy if Cong'er wants to marry Lin Ruhai's daughter as a concubine." Emperor Jialong stood up, and he patted the armrest of the dragon chair, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "The child has grown up and has more thoughts. His mother is also thinking more."

Dai Quan stood aside silently.

"Cong'er is selected as the concubine, and the fourth child is similar to him, and the concubine is going to be selected. You go to Xianning Palace and tell Concubine Ning that I will go to her place at night."

Dai Quan responded, bowed and retreated.

The main hall returned to its former tranquility. Emperor Jialong squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the East Palace, with a gloomy cold air rising from his body.
