Enter the red building

In fact, Xue Qiu’s six-rank minor official Hanlin edits and edits, and usually has nothing to do. The Hanlin Academy is said to be the highest-level group of scholars in traditional society, but it is only responsible for filling scriptures at banquets, taking charge of Jinshi examinations, Discuss the history of writing, inspecting history books, recording books, inspecting official learning homework, examination and selection, and teaching Shujishi, etc.The Imperial Academy has nothing to do with political rank, and it is a very honorable thing for scholars and students to enter the Imperial Academy.Xue Qiu, the number one scholar, just came to Hanlin for a formality, and will soon be cultivated by the emperor as a confidant. It can be said that he has a bright future.

All the officials of the Hanlin Academy didn't hold back at all, they gave Xue Qiu enough face.Under Mei Hanzhi's simple introduction, Xue Qiu laughed so hard that the muscles on his face became stiff.

Xue Qiu knows that this smiling face is necessary for people in the officialdom, but don't believe that there is kindness behind this smiling face, there are too many people hiding their swords in their smiles.Xue Qiu didn't dare to take it lightly in the officialdom, especially in this feudal dynasty, where the nine clans were implicated at every turn, so he really didn't dare to neglect.

Mei Hanzhi said with a smile: "Yun Xiao, you are so relaxed. You just sort out the history books every day."

Indeed, what Xue Qiu was in charge of was very simple. Even if all the civil and military officials went to the early court, the emperor would only ask officials of the fourth rank and above, and it would not be his turn to report to the emperor as a sixth rank official.But Xue Qiu couldn't reveal a trace of happiness, and could only pretend to be helpless, crying and laughing: "Where is it so easy? Uncle."

Mei Hanzhi smiled, "Who will show you doing this! Let me tell you, don't be late tomorrow morning."

At Yin time, that is, three o'clock in the morning, the ministers will arrive outside the Meridian Gate and wait.When the drum on the Meridian Gate Tower rang, the ministers had to line up; when the bell rang around five o'clock in the morning, the palace gate opened.Hundreds of officials entered one by one, crossed the Jinshui bridge and formed a team in the square.Any official who coughs, spits, or walks unsteadily will be recorded by the censor in charge of picketing, waiting to be dealt with.Usually, when the emperor comes to Baohe Gate or Baohe Hall, all the officials will kneel down and kowtow three times.Only officials of the fourth grade or above have the opportunity to have a dialogue with the emperor. Ministers report government affairs to the emperor, and the emperor asks questions or gives answers.

Xue Qiu sorted out the books on the desk and said, "This is natural."

Mei Hanzhi didn't tell Xue Qiu too much that the two of them would have many opportunities to meet after working in the Imperial Academy, so there was no need to rush at this moment, which of course did not include Xue Qiu being transferred out of the Imperial Academy.

Xue Qiu carefully looked at the layout around the room, it was really antique, the bookshelves were full of bamboo slips and other books, from historical classics to Kyushu geography, and some imperial examinations over the years, it was really complete. You can feel a strong atmosphere of books, this is really a place where literati and students yearn to fight for.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Sheng walked in, saw Xue Qiu flipping through some books on some bookshelves, and asked with a smile.

Xue Qiu glanced at Liu Sheng, put the book in his hand back to its original place, and said, "It's nothing, just take a look. Why are you here when you have time?"

The relationship between Liu Sheng and Xue Qiu is very strange. Although they haven't met many times, they can already be said to be old friends and confidants.Liu Sheng walked to Xue Qiu's side, took a book from the shelf at will, flipped through it, and said, "It's not as good as your No. [-] Scholar, and mine is just an idle job."

Xue Qiu gave Liu Sheng a blank look, and said, "What are you talking about, am I also an editor?"

Liu Sheng glanced at Xue Qiu casually, his eyes were a little strange, and there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable meaning in them, he put the book away and said, "Then how many officials have you seen dealing with me?"

Xue Qiu didn't know what was going on in Liu Sheng's mind, and he was very interested in holding a copy of "Kyushu Chronicles", so he walked to the desk and sat down to read it carefully, only asking: "You still live in Huaihua Lane now? "

Liu Sheng threw away some thoughts in his mind, and replied: "No, the property rewarded last time is enough to buy a small house, and I'm already planning to bring my mother over."

Xue Qiu smiled after hearing this, and said: "I also plan to change a house. Now my mother and sister are here, and many servants from Jinling have also come. The house on Xipian Street is really a bit small."

Although he knew that Xue Qiu didn't mean anything else when he said this, he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.Liu Sheng looked at Xue Qiu, feeling jealous of Xue Qiu for a moment in his heart for no reason.In just a split second, Liu Sheng realized that he had lost his heart, and hurriedly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Xue Qiu, "I'll go first." He hurried out of the room.

Looking at Liu Sheng's hurried back, Xue Qiu shook his head with a smile. In Xue Qiu's heart, Liu Sheng has always been a gentle gentleman.Unexpectedly, he would be in such a hurry, and I really don't know what made him lose his former gentleness.

Xue Qiu didn't think about it any more, but focused on the "Kyushu Chronicle" in his hand, flipping through it carefully.

In fact, there is usually nothing to do in the Hanlin Academy. It only becomes very busy when there are imperial examinations and some important days in the palace.After the early court, the Hanlin Academy usually only has two officials on duty every day. If there is any major event, it is good for someone to know.

Xue Qiu's editorial responsibility is also very light. He is only responsible for being on duty at the Imperial Academy during the third and fourth days of each month, and he is quite free the rest of the time.

Before it was time for Yin, Xue Qiu was awakened by Lulian, washed up early, changed into court clothes, and ate some snacks to pad his stomach. Although the morning court time was not long, something might happen, so it was postponed.Xue Qiu rushed to the palace of Baohe and waited for the morning court, not daring to show any disrespect in front of the palace, respectfully followed all the officials into the palace, kowtowed, and then stood like a wooden man in an inconspicuous corner of the inner palace of Baohe , but even if it was particularly boring, Xue Qiu did not dare to be distracted. If something happened, the emperor called him, it would not be fun, maybe the one waiting for him was the court stick.

In fact, Xue Qiu was too worried, wearing a sixth-grade court dress, standing in an inconspicuous corner, it was difficult for the emperor to recognize Xue Qiu.

From what Xue Qiu heard, there was only one major event, and that was the matter of the pirates in the Guangdong Sea area.It seemed that some ministers were arguing very loudly, which made the emperor very annoyed, so he dismissed the court early.

"Are you the new champion Xue Qiu?" Shui Rong walked up to Xue Qiu and asked.Of course he knew, but he still had to ask this question at first.

Mei Hanzhi, who was with Xue Qiu, told Xue Qiu softly that this is King Shui Rong of Beijing, the emperor's uncle, Xue Qiu didn't dare to think too much, and immediately bowed and replied: "Go back to the prince, the next official is right."

In fact, Shui Rong valued Xue Qiu very much, and he got three yuan at a young age, but he made his daughter so sad, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, so he asked directly: "Xue Qiu, do you have a marriage?"

Mei Hanzhi's heart trembled. Could it be that the prince wanted to betroth Princess Linglong to Yun Xiao.Thinking of this, Mei Hanzhi looked at Xue Qiu worriedly, the Princess Linglong didn't have a good reputation in the capital.

Xue Qiu's heart moved, why did King Beijing Jing suddenly ask this question, but he still replied respectfully: "My lord, I don't have a marriage match."

"Then how about this king pointing out a marriage for you?" Shui Rong cut to the point, directly stating his purpose.

Mei Hanzhi frowned, the prince really had such an idea, it's just a pity for Yun Xiao.

But Xue Qiu hurriedly replied: "I thank the prince for your kindness, but I already have someone in my heart."

Mei Hanzhi was sweating because of Xue Qiu's words, why did he reject it so directly.

Shui Rong really didn't expect Xue Qiu, who is familiar with Confucian classics, to say so directly that he has someone in his heart, and even rejected his words.Shui Rong stared straight at Xue Qiu, thinking that he didn't say no to his father back then, his heart was very heavy, so he sighed and left.

Xue Qiu was scrutinized by Shui Rong, and his heart was very flustered. If he refused the kindness of King Beijing like this, I really don't know if King Beijing would become angry with embarrassment.But looking at Shui Rong, he just sighed, turned and left.Xue Qiu was very puzzled as to what the king of Beijing Jing was thinking.
