Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Master, it's time for you to take office."

Looking at Chu Lianqing who was sitting in a daze on the chair, Chu Nan carefully reminded him.

After returning from Xiangguo Temple, Chu Lianqing has always been like this.

"Chunan, do you think Master Jingheng is not going to take care of me?" Chu Lianqing came back to his senses, looked at Chu Nan and asked.

"This……"

Chu Nan was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions in this matter, but to comfort Chu Lianqing, he still said, "Master, what happened, didn't Master Jingtong let you come back and take up the post with peace of mind?"

"But, if there is a solution, why didn't they tell me?!"

Chu Lianqing pursed his lips tightly, his expression was terrified, and his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

The matter of secret way is top secret, so Jing Tong will naturally not tell Chu Lianqing, but just let him go back and wait, and then take office with peace of mind.

But Chu Lianqing was panicked because of this, thinking that the other party had given up on him.

"No master, if something happens, Master Jingheng will be implicated, and don't they expect you to win over Master Chu Zhuangsa?" Chu Nan saw that Chu Lianqing seemed to be going crazy again, and hurriedly said comfortingly.

"Yes, yes, the prince is isolated and helpless in the court. They will not give up on me as a helper, and they still have to rely on me to win over Chu Zhuang!"

Thinking of this, Chu Lianqing's expression gradually eased.

"Undress, I'm going to take office!"

Chu Nan waited on Chu Lianqing to put on court clothes and took office.

Inviting the Buddha statue into the Buddhist hall in the palace is not only complicated and complicated, but also requires a group of monks from Xiangguo Temple to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.

Chu Lianqing suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to manage it wholeheartedly.

When Yunmengxi entered the palace, he went to pay his respects to the queen mother first, and when he estimated that the time was about the same, he found an excuse to come over to watch the excitement.

"Is it almost time to start?!"

Seeing the Buddha statue being carried into the auditorium, Yunmengxi couldn't help feeling a little excited.

"Expose!"

With an order, the silk cloth on the Buddha statue was lifted, revealing the true face of the Buddha statue inside.

Chu Lianqing closed his eyes nervously, not daring to look at the Buddha statue in front of him, for fear that he would not be able to withstand the blow and pass out on the spot.

"As expected of an auspicious manifestation, the golden light on the Buddha's body is even more dazzling than what I saw last time."

"In these days, people are ordered to offer good flowers and fragrant fruits every day. At the same time, monks are also arranged to chant scriptures. I think the Buddha was also moved by our sincerity."

"It is really an honor for us to witness the dignity of the Buddha statue!"

……

Facing the Buddha statue, everyone couldn't help discussing in low voices.

Listening to the remarks around him, Chu Lianqing frowned slightly, feeling that something was different from what he expected.

He opened his eyes cautiously, and glanced at the Buddha statue in front of him.

The golden light of the Buddha statue is bright and the Dharma is dazzling.

Where is the golden-painted Buddha statue he saw last time.

Chu Lianqing was sure that this Buddha statue must be a solid gold Buddha!

How could it suddenly become like this? !

Not only did Chu Lianqing have this question in his heart, but Yunmengxi, who was watching the excitement, also had this question.

"No, why did this Buddha statue suddenly change?!"

Yunmengxi had seen the original Buddha statue, which was completely different from the current one.

The appearance of this Buddha statue can be seen to be made of real gold, and the texture is completely different from the gold-plated one.

Yunmengxi's doubts can't be contacted yet, but Chu Lianqing quickly figured it out.

"It must be Master Jingheng and they have replaced a Buddha statue."

As for how Jingheng transported the Buddha statue into the heavily guarded palace, although Chu Lianqing didn't know, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, it is escaped now.

The etiquette was still going on, but Yunmengxi didn't have the mood to stay any longer, so he turned and left.

There must be something strange about this matter, but it's a pity that he can't understand it, so he can only go back and tell Chu Zhuang to see if Chu Zhuang can find out.

……

The Hanlin Academy is not the same as the six yamen.

The six yamen are responsible for dealing with the specific affairs of each department, and the main responsibilities of the Imperial Academy are two aspects.

On the one hand, it is responsible for compiling the classics in the library. Basically, everyone who enters the Hanlin Academy has done this work.

As for the other aspect, it is to serve as the emperor's secretary and advisor.

When the emperor encountered something he didn't understand, he would send someone to the Imperial Academy to inquire, and the Imperial Academy would send someone to give an answer.

Only a small number of people who are appreciated by the emperor or very knowledgeable can do this part of the work.

The top three in all previous years were basically able to enter the Hanlin Academy.

But not everyone can come out of the Hanlin Academy.

Some people are not good at management and have been forgotten by the emperor, so he will not have the opportunity to do the second part of the work.

Over time, his official career basically stopped at the Hanlin Academy.

When you have enough qualifications, you will be directly released as a small official.

Chu Zhuang was appointed as the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy, and this official position was neither high nor low in the Imperial Academy.

Higher than him is Cheng Jian, a five-rank Hanlin scholar, who was the number one scholar in his early years and the oldest person in the Hanlin Academy.

In addition, there are two Bachelors of Attendance from the fifth rank, and two Bachelors of Attendance.

There are a total of four editors for the sixth rank of the same grade as Chuzhuang, and 12 editors for the sixth rank.

Chu Zhuang came very early, but He Bing and Zhang Yuanbin came earlier than him.

Ever since He Bing saw Chu Zhuang, he looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.

Chu Zhuang frowned, this He Bing seemed not very smart every time he saw him.

If he hadn't known that the top three in the imperial examination were determined by the emperor, Chu Zhuang would have suspected that this guy had bribed the examiners.

"You be careful."

Zhang Yuanbin looked at Chu Zhuang with a hint of worry in his eyes, and reminded him in a low voice: "He Bing's second uncle is a Bachelor of Attendance in the Imperial Academy. I heard people say that they seem to be targeting you."

The gun shot the head bird, Chu Zhuang was so in the limelight, and he pressed on He Bing's head firmly.

In addition, He Bing is not a broad-minded person, so naturally he will not let Chu Zhuang go easily.

Moreover, Chu Zhuang didn't have any foundation, and there was only the Yun family behind it, and the Yun family was a general, so there was no way to reach out to the civil servants.

They have no fear of targeting Chu Zhuang.

"For me?! Then we have to see if they have the ability."

Chu Zhuang glanced at He Bing, and said lightly, he didn't seem to take He Bing seriously.

"The He family is considered a little powerful in Dongfeng Mansion. No matter how easy it is to hide open spears, it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows. It is better to be careful." Zhang Yuanbin still reminded.

"I know."

Chu Zhuang understood Zhang Yuanbin's kindness and immediately agreed.

The three of them waited for a while, and when the time came, they were led in.

There are not many people in the Hanlin Academy, but the scale is very large. Basically all the collections in the palace are placed here, so naturally it needs to occupy a lot of space.

After wandering around for half an hour, the attendants led them to a secluded courtyard.

"Master Cheng, the champion of the new division, second place, Tanhua came to report."

The attendant knocked on the door carefully and reported to the inside.

"come in."

After getting a response, the attendant pushed open the door and turned sideways to let the three of them in.

There were three people in the room, apart from the immediate boss Cheng Jian, there were also He Zhengming and Li Mao, two second-in-commands.

"Sure enough, he is a young talent, and there is a newcomer in the Imperial Academy."

Cheng Jian was a kind person, looked at the three of them, smiled and nodded.

"When you first came to the Imperial Academy, you don't know much about this place. In the past few days, you will follow Master He to familiarize yourself with the environment here. After you are familiar with it, I will arrange your work in detail."

After Cheng Jian finished briefly, he asked He Zhengming to take them away.

When the few people left, He Bing immediately followed He Zhengming closely. Judging by his appearance, he was afraid that he would not know that there was a relationship between the two of them!

He Zhengming did not take a few people to understand the environment in the Imperial Academy as Cheng Jian said, but directly brought them into a room.

"Master Chu, you are responsible for sorting out all the catalogs of these books today."

He Zhengming pointed to the stack of books in front of the desk, looked directly at Chu Zhuang and said.

"But Mr. Cheng said just now that these few days are just for us to get acquainted with the environment in the Imperial Academy, and the work will be decided later."

Zhang Yuanbin frowned, and opened his mouth to defend Chu Zhuang.

He Zhengming didn't even hide it, and directly targeted Chu Zhuang nakedly.

There are so many books on this desk, and Chu Zhuang had to sort them out by himself, and it was done within a day.

What is this if it is not aimed at?

He Bing followed He Zhengming and looked at Chu Zhuang in a swaggering manner.

Even if Chuzhuang is the number one scholar, so what, to enter this officialdom, you have to start from the lowest level of officials?

Officials crushed people to death.

As Chu Zhuang's superior, He Zhengming was naturally able to suppress Chu Zhuang to death.

"Since you have an opinion, then you can stay and sort it out!"

He Zhengming snorted coldly, looked at Zhang Yuanbin and said.

Zhang Yuanbin was about to speak when Chu Zhuang stopped him.

"Since it is Master He's order, the next official will naturally obey."

Chu Zhuang knew that the other party was coming for him, and he didn't want to involve Zhang Yuanbin, dragged him into the water, and agreed to this matter.

"Count you acquainted!"

He Zhengming wanted to embarrass Chu Zhuang again, but he was not in a hurry.

Cheng Jian devotes himself to studying books, and he controls the entire Hanlin Academy to death. As long as Chu Zhuang is here, there will be more opportunities to deal with him in the future.

He Zhengming left with He Bing swaggeringly, while Zhang Yuanbin stayed.

"Although I knew they would target you, I didn't expect them to be so unscrupulous, just..."

Zhang Yuanbin looked at Chu Zhuang, and said worriedly: "Today is just the beginning, they are targeting you like this, I'm afraid it will get worse in the future!"

Chu Zhuang found two stools, moved them to the desk, looked at Zhang Yuanbin and said, "Sit down and rest?"
