Chapter 182 The Prince Lecturer
There are trees planted between the rooms and halls in the Hanlin Courtyard, which are lush and lush in summer.
Upon climbing the steps under Ying's door, Wang Yingyuan flipped through the copywriting in his hand and said for a while: "This academician will announce a few important things first. New people will be allowed to finish listening later and will arrange specific regulations."
"First, the Jinshi exam was held in the court, and the Hanlin Academy selected several people to go to Renhua Palace to participate in the review of the papers tomorrow."
"Secondly, you need to go through the lecturer of the Prince's Mansion and the entourage who are on inspection. You will also arrange it according to the order later. You need to register in and out in the Dianguan Hall."
"Third, the hospital will hold regular exams and follow the third-class demotion law. Those who fail the qualification will be expelled from the Hanlin Academy."
"...Each person returns to our office, and once the order of the Attendance Hall arrives, it will be conveyed."
Jia Cong hurriedly learned from the Hanlins, bent down and bowed. The three-foot long sleeves and long robe were a little fluttering when walking. Several people entered the Dengying Gate. Gong Dingci and Wei Shixuan went to the west editing hall together. Gong Dingci bowed to him, and Jia Cong returned the salute, but Qi Shixuan turned a blind eye to him and snorted coldly, sneered in his heart and went to the west top scholar hall in the right corridor.
There are seven or eight editors in the Principal Hall. These people are either former top scholars or other Hanlins promoted to editors. Those people ignore him and listen to their conversations. It seems that they are editing the record of the previous generation of Saint Ancestors. Jia Cong was too lazy to pay attention to them, so he found a seat to sit down in boredom.
Soon after, a clerk was outside the door: "There is a charter written by Jia Xiu, please come with the humble official position."
Jia Cong followed him out of the back hall and reached out to reward the clerk with two taels of silver: "Why is the bachelor of the school missing?"
"Wang Ge is always in charge of both business and busy, so he doesn't come here often." The clerk was not optimistic about his next work, so he said a few more words after collecting the money: "Jia Xiu became famous in one fell swoop and had a bright future. According to the statute of this college, whenever there are odd numbers, Jia Xiu needs to go to Prince Yu's mansion to give lectures. Whenever there are even numbers, he needs to teach Shu Jishi in this college."
"Is it the emperor's will?" Jia Cong said.
"This... was arranged by the academician. The academician was the second assistant. He submitted a list of procedures for approval. Jia Xiu became the lecturer of Prince Yu's mansion..." The clerk sighed in his heart, "I pity this person with a bright future. The emperor doesn't like Prince Yu. What's the good result of going there?
"The front is the Attendant Hall, the right is the Dichou Hall, and the back hall is the throne in the hall, which is specially used to welcome the emperor's personal visit. The east and west houses of the back hall are library, and there are two pavilions east and west in the courtyard, and the east side is the Dongzhai Room near the east side... As soon as the memorial was answered, the documents were transferred, and the servants were managed by the Dichou Hall, and the copying, proofreading, etc. were managed by the Attendant Hall... The humble man named Ma, and the editor would just call me Xiaoma." Then he entered the Attendant Hall, issued a ticket, and stamped it with a bright red seal. Jia Cong wrote two copies on the ticket, one for him to make a voucher and the other for record.
There were three clerks in the hall, and Xiao Ma said, "Did you receive the sign? If you receive it, you don't have to send it again."
Jia Cong nodded and went out to register at the Dianpu Hall, then went to Changli Temple, and the Tugu Temple was incense. Today, he was discharged from the hospital and went to Prince Yu's mansion in the inner city.
...
After finishing the lecture to Shujishi, at lunch, Qi Shixuan went out of the editorial hall to go to Yingzhou Pavilion in front of Dongzhai Room to enjoy the scenery. The water in the Phoenix Pool was extremely clear, and fish and ducks played in the water. Wei Wuzhi came out to chat with him. For a long time, the engineering department staff member Jaswen came here.
"What did Jia Jia do?" said Wei Shixuan.
"I'll send memorials for filing. The Sixth Corridor has been copied. One copy will be deposited in the Hanlin Academy." Jasven stepped onto the pavilion and smiled and said, "I've done my business and talked about my private affairs."
"Brother Wei had been against Jia Cong, and Brother Wei was afraid that he would be unwilling to be the top scorer. Jia had been in the Jiangzuo League for many years and should speak for the scholars in Jiangnan. Brother Wei's cousin Luo was the one who kept it as a backup plan, and I would do it first." Jaswen conspired in a low voice.
"How about taking the first move? How about taking the last move?" Qi Shixuan was intrigued.
Wei Wuzhi said, "Isn't Jia Cong's teacher Qin Ye, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works? Let's take action against him first. Qin Ye is old and Brother Jia is a senior in engineering. He said that he must retire at the highest age of 75. He reported that he would retire, be a teacher for one day and be a father for life. See how Jia Cong reacts!"
Wei Shixuan frowned and said, "Even if the Minister of Qin retired, he would naturally retire. Perhaps the emperor would give him a second-level official salary. How could he impeach Jia Cong?"
"After a long time, there will be flaws to be found. Whether the exam is a high-ranking official, a small-ranking official, a Beijing-ranking official, and a foreign-ranking official. The inspection is conducted by the official in charge of the seal and official Wang Ge Lao seems to be interested in promoting him, but my uncle works with the Ministry of Personnel's meritorious service every six years, and the Censorate holds an inspection. At that time... he will be able to clear away the treacherous villains and the whole court is full of people. This is the time when we gentlemen are in power!" Wei Wuzhi's eyes were cold, and the three of them discussed the plan in this way.
...
"Mr. Jia Xiu, please get up quickly. I'm waiting for you." Ling Juezi, who was in a casual outfit, helped Jia Cong up in the hall with his own hands. "I only learned that the editor was arranged to be my residence yesterday. I burned incense and bathed all night, and waited for you to come."
Jia Cong was surprised, and Luo Ren, the chief official next to him, nodded and said, "There is no Hanlin lecturer in Brother's mansion before today."
If you are not favored, you are not favored. This place is too cold and there is no saddle and horse in front of the door. Jia Cong bowed to Luo Ren and stepped back and walked in. The lobby of the mansion had already set up a case to talk. Ling Juezhen sat down at the podium intently. Luo Ren listened to the record. The chief official was the emperor's confidant in the prince's mansion.
Jia Cong said seriously: "Have the prince learned calligraphy and the Four Books?"
"I have seen it, but I have not been as young as the one in my life, nor have I held a ceremony for the wedding. My father sent me to go out for inspection. I also saw the sufferings of the people with my own eyes. Few people know that although I am older than composer, my knowledge is not as good as the top scholar..." Ling Juezhi was very interested, and obviously the intercom was irresistible.
Jia Cong pondered over and over again. When he first met, the prince was pretty good, and he looked as honest and loyal as legendary. The prince of Dashun usually did not have a vassal state in a country, but had certain power to participate in the government. The prince did not make his eldest son according to the ancestral system, so he would have hope of following the dragon.
"Since the prince has read the Four Books and Five Classics, the Xiaguan will teach it first." Jia Cong took out a map and spread it in front of him: "This is the reprinted version of "Kunyu All Nations" found by Xiaguan. It was painted by Matteo Ricci, a great scholar in Thailand back then. The world is so big... the world is vast, and my great support is just one of them..."
Because the Catholic Church in the early dynasty was a bit over-action, and was rejected by some high-ranking officials, and many things were burned, so this was the first time Ling Juezhi saw this whole map of the whole country, and was amazed, pointing to the coastal place, "Ningbo, Haojing should have these foreigners in..."
"Not bad." Jia Cong said: "Fujian can connect to Ryukyu, Ningbo can connect to Japan, and Haojing can lead to the ocean... There is a monsoon on the ocean, and the ship reaches all countries according to the seasonal monsoon, Manila, Goa and Lisbon to the West. This route is full of huge profits..."
Luo Ren could not have imagined that what Jia Cong taught, but it was not considered a violation of the regulations. He wrote a note and Ling Juezhi admired Jia Cong's erudition and changed his words to be "Mr.", the prince's lecturer, that is, the teacher, but he couldn't call him before, "This is the Yellow River, which is more accurate than the map of the Ministry of War."
