There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 288 Entering the Imperial Academy

It was the first time for Wu Youwei to enter the Hanlin Academy. In later generations, the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty had been weathered several times, dilapidated, and pitifully small, but the real Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty was very large. There was a separate Hanlin Library, There are seven book collection pavilions, involving various aspects.

But in later generations, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, many people coveted those books because of the weakness of the country, but the literati at that time would rather set fire to burn them than let the painstaking efforts of their ancestors go overseas...

Tragic, but also sad.

Now Wu Youwei cherishes the Hanlin collection very much.

Of course, they had just arrived, and on this first day, everyone in the Hanlin Academy was there.

There is one bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, who is the fifth rank;

There are two bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, from the fifth grade;

There are two bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, from the fifth grade;

There are two attendants and students in the Imperial Academy, and they are the sixth rank;

There are two attendants and lecturers in the Hanlin Academy, and they are of the sixth grade;

Nine doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, eight grades;

There are two ancient books of the Hanlin Academy, from the eighth grade;

There are two servants of the Hanlin Academy, the ninth rank;

The Hanlin Academy is waiting for six people, from the ninth grade;

There is only Kong Mu in the Hanlin Academy, and if he has not entered the stream, he has no quality;

Compiled by the historian of the Imperial Academy, there is no quota for this position, from the sixth grade;

Edited by the Hanlin Academy, no fixed number of staff, seven grades;

The Imperial Academy review, no quota, from the seventh grade;

There is no fixed number of scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and they have not entered the stream.

Regardless of their political status, in all dynasties and dynasties, Hanlin scholars have always been the group of scholars with the highest status in society. They concentrated the elite of intellectuals at that time, and their social status was superior.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, Zhang Jiuling, Bai Juyi, etc.; Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, etc. in the Song Dynasty; Song Lian, Fang Xiaoru, Zhang Juzheng, etc. in the Ming Dynasty; middle man

It is a very honorable thing to be selected into the Hanlin Academy, which is called "Dian Hanlin".

Hanlin bachelors are not only committed to the inheritance of cultural and academic undertakings, but also actively participate in politics and discuss government affairs.From imperial examination to Hanlin, from Hanlin to courtiers is the life ideal of scholar-bureaucrats in the imperial examination era, and it is the expression of "reaching and benefiting the world" in Confucianism.

Therefore, all the people in the Hanlin Academy are very elegant and elegant, and there are people they know. Liu Jian is now a scholar in the Hanlin Academy.

The same is true for Li Dongyang, because the "Yingzong Shilu" was compiled into a book, and the emperor gave Li Dongyang platinum Wenqi, and his rank was promoted from sixth rank.

Liu Daxia was in the Ministry of War, not in the Imperial Academy.

The three new subjects, one Jia, wear the same clothes, but the jade pendants they wear are of the same texture and style, so they look very united.

After everyone saw him, they gave great enthusiasm to Xin Ke's top three young men. Li Dongyang even pointed to Wu Youwei and said, "Don't you have a sworn brother who works as the head of the Tokugawa Hot Pot Barbecue Restaurant? It's your treat!" In fact, he also has shares, but it's just a secret share, and outsiders don't know about it. "Okay!" Wu Youwei said with a smile, "My colleagues, please give me credit!"

As mentioned earlier, the Hanlin Academy is noble, but it is as clean as water, the poor Hanlin, the poor Hanlin, they are all stuttering.

Of course they were happy with Wu Youwei's treat.

It is also because Yijia in this issue is very young and obviously has a bright future, so everyone has shown special kindness to the three of them.

The Imperial Academy is very large, and there are many people, especially the previous Jinshi, they all stayed in the Imperial Academy before they had a formal job.

The salary is meager, and it is not easy to live in the capital, so life is very poor.

The Imperial Academy asked Li Dongyang and Liu Jian to take them to have a look in the Imperial Academy: "Let's go eat the big family in the evening.

Wu Youwei laughed, anyway, he is the youngest here.

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian knew each other from the beginning, and when the five of them got together, only Liu Daxia and Luo Lun were left behind.

Strolling together, chatting while strolling in the Imperial Academy.

The emperor got the eldest son, why is there no movement? "Li Dongyang said in a low voice: "We are thinking, should we give a memorial to the emperor?" "

"Don't!" Wu Youwei said: "The emperor has a son, whether he is happy or not is the emperor's business, foreign officials... it is best not to get involved."

"However, the Bai family has already started activities in private." Liu Jian said: "Besides, the emperor has been on the throne for five or six years, and there has been no...

"Don't talk nonsense about the prince!" Zhang Sheng hurriedly stopped Liu Jian: "That's the prince of the country, not something we can talk about, so be careful.

Liu Jian sighed: "Just talk about it in front of you!

The emperor has no heir, everyone is anxious, now he has a heir, but the emperor doesn't like the eldest son.

The Bai family moved frequently in private, and many people took the initiative to curry favor with the Bai family. Because of the birth of the eldest son of the emperor, the Bai family's tide rose.

"The emperor is still young." Yang Yiqing said: "Princes and daughters will definitely be indispensable in the future, besides, the empress is still young, why worry?"

Although Yang Yiqing's words that "the empress is still young" are not wrong, but everyone knows that the middle palace is famous but not favored, and the birth...is not necessarily a son.

Now everyone's eyes are focused on the eldest son of the emperor. The little baby who is only two months old makes everyone wait and see.

Wu Youwei didn't look forward to it at all, because he knew that in history, this child still died in the end.

Some people said that Concubine Wan did the tricks, but according to Wu Youwei's understanding, Concubine Wan is not that capable.

Everyone wandered around and were exhausted. In the evening, Wu Youwei took everyone to his other courtyard, because autumn is the time when cattle and sheep are fat, especially mutton.

The lamb kebabs are grilled over a high fire, sprinkled with chili powder, sesame seeds, and cumin. The smell is so fragrant that everyone drools.

Wu Youwei said: "Today, I invite everyone to eat barbecue. When the weather is cold, I invite everyone to eat hot pot!"

"Okay!" Everyone responded one after another.

Because there are old and young, they still drink wine and sour plum juice.

Facing the night sky in late autumn, some people expressed their feelings, recited poems, and made a lively scene.

But there are quite a few Hanlins talking about the meat, Wu Youwei watched this scene, and secretly ordered people to serve less vegetable skewers, more meat skewers, pork skewers, lamb skewers, come more!

The clear one is a cold autumn fungus.

The staple food is baked bread and pearl soup.

After inviting guests this time, everyone became more friendly to the three newcomers.

After Wu Youwei went back, he thought for a while and got out the membership system. Anyway, Tokugawa's business is big enough, and when the chili powder is no longer the only one, Tokugawa's reputation will also come out.

With the membership system, you can make a big fuss about it, such as membership classification, what level, and what level of free dishes there are.

However, because there is no anti-theft means now, the membership card can only be used by members themselves.

After writing, I went to find Xiao Xiao in person.

Xiao Xiao now lives in the capital, and after marrying Lian Er, she has become more mature and stable.

After seeing Wu Youwei, I first told him a happy event: "Lian'er has it, and it's been more than a month and almost two months."

"Really?" Wu Youwei laughed as soon as he heard it: "Congratulations! She will give birth in April or May next year.

"Yeah!" Little eyes lit up.

After talking for a long time, Xiao Xiaocai asked Wu Youwei: "Brother, are you here for something?"

"Yes, I thought of something to tell you..." Wu Youwei took out the membership system.

The two chatted for a long time, and there was a curfew at night, so Wu Youwei simply stayed at Xiaoxiao's house.

When Xiaoxiao moved here, he left a small yard alone for Wu Youwei. No matter whether Wu Youwei came or not, there would always be a place for Wu Youwei in this family.

The next day Wu Youwei was forced to get up early in the morning, ate breakfast in a daze, bid farewell to Xiao Xiao, Lian Er and the elders, and then went to work in the Imperial Academy.

To be honest, Wu Youwei has never slept in since he worked in the Imperial Academy.

He has to get up at one o'clock every day, which is very different from his previous days.

When I first came here, I didn't need to say hello every day; later, when the family and clan were separated, I became the boss, and I could sleep as long as I wanted.

Now it's a good thing, he worked so hard to pass the exam as a Tanhualang, but ended up in the Hanlin Academy, getting up early and working late every day, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, he wanted to cry, okay?

At the end of the day, when he returned to the Wu Mansion, Wu Youwei hugged Wantong and cried, "Is it still possible? I go to work every day and take one day off every month. What can I do?"

Wantong patted him on the shoulder: "It's all like this, it's all like this."

"I don't want to be an official anymore." Wu Youwei pursed his mouth: "If I become an official, I have to go to the court, and that's even earlier!

"Only those who start from the fourth grade are eligible to go to court." Wantong comforted him: "You are still early."

"Staying in the Imperial Academy is so difficult. If I go to court, I will definitely not do it!" Wu Youwei was very depressed. When he was in a private school, there was a weekly rest, at least one day a week. summer vacation.

That's a month's vacation!

Not to mention May [-]st, [-]th and New Year’s Day, even Qingming Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival are all fake.

One day off in a month, [-] days off in a year, three days in the new year, add up to only half a month, give you half a month off in a year, the rest of the time, even if there are knives in the sky, you have to take some Mao.

It is said that the Imperial Academy is still the most leisurely department, and the cabinet is a year-round place.

Ge Lao doesn't have as many holidays as the poor Hanlin!

"Good boy, get used to it slowly, wait for you... get used to it at work, and it will be fine." Wantong smiled and said: "You are used to being free and undisciplined, but you are suddenly restrained and feel uncomfortable. Slow down Just slow down."

Wu Youwei curled his lips, he finally took this life, and ended up going to work, this is not the life he wanted, he wanted to change Daming, but he didn't want to be bound by it, otherwise he would have lived a very wronged life!

Wantong comforted him well, but he thought it was funny, he only went to the Imperial Academy for a few days?

I just can't take it anymore, I can't stay in such a leisurely yamen in the Imperial Academy, where else do I want to go?

Wu Youwei felt that the Imperial Academy drank tea in a daze every day, and he really couldn't stand it, as if he had retired early, what should he do?

He had to find something to do for himself.

What are you doing?

Copy books and sort out the collection of books in the Imperial Academy!

This is the goal he set for himself.

However, the amount of work was too large, and Wu Youwei felt that he could not do it alone. Anyway, there were many people in the Imperial Academy, and there were more idlers.

So, relying on his smallness, thick skin, and trendy thinking, he planned to clean up the library with others. He invited everyone together, held a small meeting, and shared his thoughts.

"For example, first divide the books into major categories such as classics and history subsets, and then divide them into subcategories. For books with the same subcategories, arrange the subcategories according to the number of words in the title...you have to customize some bookshelves that are inserted on the bookshelf, separated Open wooden bookmarks of various colors and classifications, which are very clear. For example, history.....The first character is seven strokes..." Wu Youwei changed the commonly used "sorting by surname strokes" to the title of the book up.

"Is this too troublesome?" It was the Academician of the Hanlin Academy who spoke: "It's not like the Imperial Academy doesn't have such a small amount of money for repairs. It's just that although your method is clear, it's troublesome. In addition, I'm afraid my colleagues are not used to it."

"Of course it's troublesome to talk about, and it's tedious to do it, but it will be convenient to use in the future." Wu Youwei said: "After tidying up, why not once and for all?"

Li Dongyang thought for a while: "Then let's do it together, and if we trouble us, we can bless the younger generation."

Wu Youwei rolled his eyes and said again: "There is a lot of work, and there are few people in the Imperial Academy. Why don't you invite the academicians to present a memorial and ask for an order so that all colleagues can find some volunteers to help."

"Volunteer?" Everyone was taken aback, very puzzled...
