There is no induction ceremony, and there is no need to go to court to say hello to the emperor during court meetings. Even if the future of being a Hanlin official is bright, a sixth-rank official has been arrested in the capital. Since Chen Xi was awarded the title of official, his halo of the top scholar gradually faded.

On March 28th, the emptied thousands of miles, and peonies, lilacs, crabapples, peonies, etc. bloom one after another in the capital city. On such a day that is most suitable for spring and flowers to enjoy, Chenxi officially started his career in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi, who was thirteen years old, entered the Hanlin Academy to be a historian and compiled.

The Hanlin Courtyard in the capital was built in the seventh year of Zhengtong and was built on the former site of the Honglu Temple in the early Ming Dynasty. It is located in the southeast of the palace, facing south and north. From the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard, you can see the majestic Forbidden City.

Unlike the six ministries officials who work in sedans, Hanlin Academy is a famous Qingshui Yamen. The officials here are generally not of high rank. Not to mention hiring sedans and sedan chairmen to work here, there are only a handful of people who own carriages.

There is no fixed number of historians of the Hanlin Academy, but this year there were three in total.

In addition to Chen Xi, there are Zhu Xizhou, the top scholar in the ninth year of Hongzhi, and the second-level king Zan, the ninth year of Hongzhi.

Zhu Xizhou is the top scorer at the age of 23, and is only 26 now, and is a young talent; Wang Zan is 37 years old, with a slightly older face. At first glance, he looks like a little old man, but he is humorous and funny, and he talks with him like a spring breeze.

Chen Xi entered the Hanlin Academy at an inappropriate time because the case of selling the exam happened. Although Cheng Minzheng, the chief examiner of the examination, has not been jailed, his official position has been deprived.

Cheng Minzheng was taken down from the position of being the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Before the case was concluded, the Hanlin Academy did not even have a nominal chief officer, and all the matters were taken by Jiao Fang, the assistant lecturer.

However, Jiao Fang is still the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple at this time and does not have much time to stay in the Hanlin Academy. At present, the Hanlin Academy is basically in a state of masterlessness.

Xie Qian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, was a former bachelor of lecturers at the Hanlin Academy. He is also the current Grand Secretary of the Dongge. He often comes to the Hanlin Academy for a walk, and also has some matters about the presidency and cabinet imperial edicts.

These jobs were originally done by Cheng Minzheng, and Cheng Minzheng was originally considered the best candidate for the next Grand Secretary to join the cabinet. In the first year, the chief assistant Xu Pu had just retired. Liu Jian was about to retire, and after Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, one of them must have entered the cabinet... Unfortunately, Cheng Minzheng was not cautious in speaking and caused a disaster for no reason. Not only did the Grand Secretary in the cabinet have no hope, but his life could not be saved.

After Chen Xi took office, he first met the attendant and the attendant. Zhu Xizhou took him to meet the following officials including the doctors of the Five Classics, classics, attendants, and Kongmu and Shujishi who had no rank. After a brief meeting, he entered a cumbersome project, which was also something that the Hanlin Academy had been doing in recent years, editing the "Da Ming Hui Dian".

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, imitated the "Six Dictations of Tang Dynasty" and ordered the revision of the "Shishou" and divided the six ministries of officials, households, rituals, military, punishments, and work, the Tongzheng Envoy, the Censorate, the Dali Temple and the Five Army Governor's Office. A total of ten volumes are recorded, recording the various major official positions and systems created and set up between the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the 26th year of Hongwu. After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, the various dynasties after Hongwu were scattered and not compiled, and it was not enough for subjects to follow, so the "Da Ming Hui Dictation" was produced.

Emperor Hongzhi attaches great importance to the compilation of "The Ming Dynasty Hui Dian". The emperor has good politics and needs to keep his name through books. If the emperor cannot pass on his literary name, it would be like a halo missing on the head of the wise king. However, there are certain problems in the compilation of this book, because Cheng Minzheng happens to be the vice president of "The Ming Dynasty Hui Dian".

The presidents of "The Ming Dynasty Collection" are Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. Among them, Xu Pu resigned and returned home, and the remaining three were all Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and had no time to compile books. As the vice president, Cheng Minzheng was the real person in charge. This is a typical second-in-command leader.

Part of the reason why Xie Qian often came to the Hanlin Academy was to supervise the compilation of classics.

On the first day of Chen Xi's employment, he had not yet gotten familiar with the environment, so he had already arranged his work and asked him to organize the library and prepare for the compilation of the part about Yingzong in the "Da Ming Hui Dian".

Zhu Xizhou came over with a few books, sat down next to Shen Xi, and smiled and said, "Don't be too reserved. These things are not too anxious. I would rather read more classics, but I must not make any mistakes. There is no mistake in the study of history."

"The Ming Hui Dian" is an official historical book.

Unlike general historical books, this book is based on the system of classics. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Guangluo has been divided into various dynasties and records its profits and losses due to reform. Similar to the classics, sects, and examinations, it is derived from the classics and historical books, and has become an independent historical genre, with different edits such as general sects, cleverness, and clericals.

In summary, it is to compile the rules and regulations issued by each emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and use the evolution of rules and regulations to record historical evolution.

Just as Xu Pu and four other cabinet ministers mentioned in their comments before the book was compiled: "The official system of this dynasty is the main principle, the name of things is the number of rituals and ranks of rituals, and the old system of ancestors is the main focus. However, the profits and losses are the same and different, according to the year, the matter is listed in the future, and it is collected into books to form a classic of a generation."

Since it is a historical book, it must be passed down to later generations and must be rigorous. Zhu Xizhou's reminder is kind-hearted. It is better to read more and verify things clearly than to make mistakes because of rushing to achieve success. This is the basic cultivation of a history writer.

Now let me explain the location of Chenxi’s office.

As opposed to the Forbidden City, the gate of the Hanlin Academy naturally opens to the north, with three layers inside the door. The first one is the bureau hall, which is a seven-bedroom hall. There are Grand Secretary, Bachelor of the Secretariat, and Bachelor of the Secretariat are divided into seats. The five halls on the east side are called the Procuratorate Hall, and the five halls on the west side are called the Lecture Hall.

After entering, there is a seven-bedroom hall, a five-bedroom hall on the east side, and a five-bedroom hall on the west side. Then entering, there is a five-bedroom back hall, facing south, and the middle is a throne for the emperor to sit on.

On both sides of the back hall are library books for collections. The back hall is a large courtyard with live water inside, connected to the Yu River in the east. During the Chenghua period, a pavilion called Ke Ting was built next to the pool of the Hanlin Academy, Ke Qian, who was in charge of the hospital affairs, built a pavilion called Ke Ting. Later, Liu Dingzhi, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Hanlin Academy, dug a well next to it. "Keting Liu Jing" is a major landscape of the Hanlin Academy.

To the east of Liujing is the Dongzhaifang, in front of the hall is Yingzhou Pavilion, under the pavilion is the Phoenix Pool. In the south of the pool is Baoshan Hall, behind the hall is Chen Lexuan. To the west of the Keting is the Xianshi Temple, and the temple is the Nanxi Zhaifang. To the south is Yuanxin Pavilion. After passing Yuanxin Pavilion, it is the back door of the Hanlin Courtyard.

Chen Xi's place of work was a room in the back hall of the Hanlin Courtyard. It was similar to the office of later generations. Although Chen Xi was just a Hanlin editor and had a low official position, there were a few people below who worked for him, basically all Hanlin attendants and Shujishi. Others had their own responsibilities and basically would not listen to Chen Xi's orders.

However, because of the need to compile the "Da Ming Hui Dian", the Hanlin Academy has been in sufficient staff in recent years. As a organizer, Chen Xi often does not need to read the classics personally. Naturally, someone will help him verify the information of the era.

At noon, the Hanlin Academy was in charge of the meal, and Chen Xi and his newly met Zhu Xizhou went to the canteen to have dinner together.

It was said that it was a canteen, but it was just a few tables put together. Because there were many people, the meals had to be started in batches. The food was pretty good, especially today was a good day for the first three new students to join the first three. The Hanlin Academy added three meat dishes, which were seen by a group of colleagues. The etiquette that was not finished in the morning because of a hurry to work was added, and I followed it up at noon.

When they were about to leave, someone called Zhu Xizhou aside and said a few words, and when Zhu Xizhou came back, he brought Chen Xi a message. His colleagues from the Hanlin Academy were preparing to have a banquet for Chen Xi, Lun Wenxu and Fengxi after get off work in the afternoon.

When the superiors come to office and the subordinates invite banquets, all the yamen are basically the same. The Hanlin Academy is not immune to the common people's knowledge.

Although the positions of editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy are not high, one is from the sixth rank and the other is from the seventh rank. In places like the Hanlin Academy, it is already a "shangguan". The clerks below have to invite a banquet to curry favor, not to be promoted in the future, but also to consider their future work.

After this palace examination, the Hanlin Academy did not select Shujishi from the new Jinshi. The Hanlin Academy has only a small number of staff in the future. Who can guarantee that the new three are not "human"? What if these three people are looking for trouble and always ask the people below to work overtime?

As a Qingshui Yamen, Hanlin does not have overtime pay, so the less you do, the better. Therefore, you must first curry favor with these three "supervisors" so that you can work more lightly in the future.

"Just in Qingyuan Tavern, not far from the back door of Hanlin Academy, we have two banquets. I believe that the banquet will not be missing in the next few days, and I can also enjoy the benefits."

Zhu Xizhou said this with a smile on his face.

It is rare to have the opportunity to invite people in Qingshui Yamen, and it may not happen a few times a year. As a historian of the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Xizhou was at the same level as Chen Xi. When he reached the level of attendants and lecturers, he was disdainful to be invited.

In the Hanlin Academy, being able to promote a first level is equivalent to jumping to several levels in a row in the ordinary yamen. After all, the sixth-rank attendant, the attendant lecturer is from the fifth-rank "school bachelor" and "school bachelor". At this stage, he can already be responsible for the matter of imperial edicts and is qualified to enter the cabinet.

The first level of official position to crush people to death is most obvious in the Hanlin Academy.

Chen Xi's first day at Hanlin Academy was not very comfortable, because for him, the rules and regulations of the Yingzong Dynasty were a bit awkward, and they involved some local regulations. The more you read, the more you felt headaches. This was even more uncomfortable than writing a few articles of the Four Books.

These things are not enough to have a good memory. They need to be verified and must be found from local prefecture and county annals, but not every local local annals will be sent to the Hanlin Academy. It is impossible to ask for a certificate. Each of the materials looks like they are true, but they cannot confirm the authenticity. In this way, even if the work is not completed, you have to continue working hard later.

"This job is really helpless." Chen Xi couldn't help but mutter at the end.

This work is quite leisurely, but when facing a bunch of classics, I have no way to start. In fact, as the editor of the historian of Chenxi, I can ask for help. The Hanlin Academy's library is quite large, with at least tens of thousands of books in it, which makes it impossible for people like Chenxi who are just a newcomer to find it.

Fortunately, Zhu Xi and Zhou Ting took care of Chen Xi, the newcomer, or Zhu Xi and Zhou Nian, Shen Xi is a young man. Even if he is good at learning, he is not very good at things other than these knowledge. He often mentions something and occasionally helps, and can almost be regarded as Chen Xi's guide.

After a busy afternoon, when get off work was about to get off work, a group of Hanlin people put down their work and began to plan how much money each person would pay for the meal tonight. At this time, a heavyweight suddenly came to the Hanlin Academy... Xie Qian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, came to inspect the work and condolences to the three new Hanlin people.

Xie Qian is known as "You Kankan". He is very skillful and has a strong voice, and is very powerful, making him look so good that he is comparable to the "announcer" who has a righteous and upright character in later generations.

There was a reason why Zhu Youzang asked Xie Qian to come over to take over the Hanlin Academy. After all, the cabinet needed to write imperial edicts. In the past, Cheng Minzheng led the bachelor's and the bachelor's lecturer to complete these things. But now Cheng Minzheng is gone, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang are not good at this. The imperial edicts and imperial edicts are easily dissatisfied with the emperor's wishes. Instead, Xie Qian has worked in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, doing things smoothly and knowing how to cater to the best. It is most appropriate for him to do imperial edicts.

The attendant and the attendant were not there, and Zhu Xizhou was half of the supervisor of the Hanlin Academy and personally greeted him and saluted: "Is the court important matter to come today?"

Xie Qian shook his head slightly, then smiled and looked at Chen Xi, Lun Wenxu and Feng Xi: "Just come and see, just go ahead and continue to do your own thing."

It was already about to get off work, but Xie Qian came here, so everyone had to go back to their posts. It would delay the banquet for a while and the time to go home in the evening would be postponed. The wife at home would definitely complain or make a little bitch again.

After entering the Hanlin Academy, even if he was just a Shuji scholar, he would have brought his family. It is basically impossible to become a Jinshi before he was 20 years old. Which Hanlin has not yet established a family?
