The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

"Help me get up!" Lin Tailai struggled to get up. Although he was still dizzy, he felt better after a few activities in the spring light outside.

Then Lin Tailai said goodbye to Wang Xiangmeng: "I'm going first!"

Wang Xiangmeng persuaded him to stay and said: "All the ceremonies are over, why do you need to risk yourself and force yourself to go out?"

Lin Zhuangyuan's current combat effectiveness is only 50% of normal at most. With Lin Zhuangyuan's good popularity, going out is indeed a risky activity.

Lin Tailai sighed: "This shows sincerity." Then he ignored Wang Xiangmeng's advice and left the Wang family.

Then, under the protection of dozens of servants, he quickly arrived at the gate of the Chief Assistant Shen Mansion.

"I've caused trouble to Mr. Ge! I'm very sorry!" Lin Zhuangyuan bowed to the door.

Shen Yongmao came out and told him, "My father said he was not at home."

Lin Tailai said, "Come back in a few days."

In this current state, I feel a little uneasy outside, so I'd better go home and close the door to recuperate.

But Shen Yongmao pestered Lin Tailai and said with joy: "You performed really well, I didn't expect you to work so hard for a collection of poems!

Most of the poems last night were topical and full of interesting points! Especially the song written by my father, it has the potential to be a hit!

The bookstore estimates that this collection of poems can be sold to various provinces. "

Lin Tailai asked feebly: "I just asked you to write a preface and review. Are you too aggressive?"

Shen Yongmao said proudly: "I am now the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of "Jiuyuan Poetry Collection", and I am the exclusive prefacer and reviewer."

"As long as you're happy." If Lin Tailai had any objections, he turned around and left.

Shen Yongmao added: "Now you have enough poems of your own. I will collect some other works involving you in the next few days, and then find you to review them together."

After the Qionglin Banquet is over, it means that the new scholars begin to gradually enter the officialdom.

For Xinke Jinshi, there are five starting points in the officialdom. In order from good to bad, they are:

First, Sanding Jia enters the Imperial Academy directly, which is what is said to be a born immortal.

Second, if the academy is selected as a Shujishi (there are about twenty places), and when the academy is disbanded three years later, it is considered a fairy to be selected into the Imperial Academy.

If it weren't for the above two starting points, then there would be no hope of being a prime minister or assistant for life. Immortals and mortals are so cruel.

Third, the guild is selected as a Shujishi (about twenty places). When the guild is disbanded after three years, they are selected as Shizhong or Yushi.

Among the Shujishi, this is considered a loser, but in the entire officialdom, this is already a very small number of top elites. They are known as Qingliu in terms of rank, but they are not qualified to join the cabinet.

Fourth, he served as an intern in the ministry for about half a year and was elected as a Beijing official.

For ordinary people, this is the goal that can be pursued in reality.

Fifth, he or she will serve as an intern in the ministry for about half a year, and then be promoted to a county magistrate or government official.

This is the normal start for most Jinshi. The total number of people in the first four types of starts is not as large as that in the fifth type.

So at this moment, it is a time when everyone's future is very uncertain.

The prosperous dream after being named on the gold list is over, and now we have to start running for the future.

Or continue to work hard to prepare for the upcoming Shujishi Hall selection examination, pursuing that illusory glimmer of hope for promotion.

Or they may strive to stay in Beijing after their political internship, and start to analyze which government offices have a high probability of staying in Beijing, what connections they can make use of, etc.

But the above worldly worries had nothing to do with Lin Zhuangyuan. He went to the Ministry of Rites to get his diploma, and then strolled to the Hanlin Academy not far away to report.

His official career start is also very clear, he was compiled from the Sixth Rank Hanlin Academy.

With Hanlin's strong character and reputation, if he is willing to degenerate, he can apply for a post as a prefect in a small and medium-sized place after a few years.

Lin Zhuangyuan, who was tall and majestic and could run horses on his arms, stood outside the Dengying Gate of the Hanlin Academy, looking at the slightly shabby Gaomen.

"The air here is quite sweet." Lin Zhuangyuan took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh.

From today on, he is also a poet, standing at the top of the literati pyramid.

When you see that Shen Shixing again in the future, you only need to follow the Hanlin rules and call him "senior"!

From the name "Dengying" on the gate of Hanlin Academy, we can see the psychological superiority of Hanyuan Ci officials.

Ying is Yingzhou, the legendary fairy mountain. Doesn't "climbing Ying" mean becoming an immortal?

No wonder in officialdom, Hanlin Ci officials are always compared to immortals. Fortunately, my surname is not Liu, otherwise I would be embarrassed.

But Lin Zhuangyuan, who was thinking so wildly, almost demolished the Dengying Gate, but the gate officials still stopped him from entering.

"Are you trying to bully the newcomer?" Lin Cichen Jiuyuan stretched out his fist as big as a casserole and said.

The gate officer was about to cry and begged again and again: "Master Zhuangyuan! I really can't bring dozens of thugs into the Hanlin Academy. Otherwise, the bachelors will definitely skin me!"

Lin Zhuangyuan thought for a while and realized that he had no grudge against the Hanlin Academy. There should be no one in the Hanlin Academy ambushing him.

So he had no choice but to take the right protector Zhang Wu in, and let the left protector Zhang Wen lead others to guard outside Dengying Gate.

There is a special thing about Hanlin Academy. The gate opens towards the north. Outside Dengyingmen is directly facing Yujie, which is Dong Chang'an Street.

Officials passing by saw dozens of big men standing outside the Hanlin Academy gate, who were more imposing than the officers and soldiers, and they suddenly felt that the Hanlin Academy, the most cultured government office, suddenly had a sudden surge in military ethics.

Lin Zhuangyuan entered the Hanlin Academy at a fast pace, went straight to the main hall of the atrium, and reported to the bachelor of the academy.

Originally, Shen Yiguan was in charge of the Hanlin Academy in the past two years, but now Shen Yiguan, probably because his parents were in poor health, took leave to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives.

At this time, Chen Yu, the chief Ci official, returned to the court after the end of the worry-shou system. He took charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy as Zhan Shifu.

Now there is not even a prince, and there is nothing to do with Zhan Shifu, so Bachelor Chen usually works in the Hanlin Academy.

The check-in process was uneventful. Chen Yubi didn't say anything special, but he didn't embarrass Lin Tailai either.

I just say that I will let the secretary arrange the tables, chairs and stationery today. If Lin Xiuzhan finds it inconvenient, you can come back to the Yamen tomorrow.

Lin Tailai replied enthusiastically: "I have heard for a long time that there is a Hall of Number One Scholars in the Hanlin Academy, so I will go and have a look today."

Then he backed out of the bachelor's room and walked towards the west side of the Zhuangyuan Hall.

On the way, Lin Zhuangyuan automatically retrieved Chen Yubi's information in his mind.

First of all, this person can be regarded as the second generation. His father is Chen Yiqin, a scholar in the Longqing period.

Chen Yubi was brave and diligent when his father was a pavilion elder. In the second year of Longqing, at the age of twenty-four, he passed the Jinshi examination and was selected as a Shujishi.

Of course, in the Longqing Dynasty and the early Wanli Dynasty, the sons of prime ministers were generally geniuses, and it was unusual for them to become Jinshi.

This bachelor Chen Yubi also joined the cabinet later, and worked with Zhao Zhigao in history.

Although Chen Yubi is not that famous in later generations, he is actually very special. Because Chen Yubi and his father Chen Yiqin were the only father-son elders in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is an achievement that even super-powerful first assistants like Yang Tinghe, Yan Song, and Zhang Juzheng have not achieved.

To the east of the main hall is the low-end editing and inspection hall, and to the west is the high-end lecture and reading hall.

The Number One Scholar Hall is located in a separate courtyard next to the lecture hall. As the name suggests, only the number one scholar is qualified to work here.

Lin Zhuangyuan pushed open the door panel of the Zhuangyuan Hall. After a quick glance, he muttered with regret, "There are actually two more people."

The time-travelers in the novels I saw in my previous life all dominated the No. 1 Scholar Hall by one person, with a pretentious couplet posted on the door.

The two number one scholars already in it are Zhu Guozuo in the eleventh year of Wanli and Tang Wenxu in the fourteenth year of Wanli.

Lin Tai came to learn about Tang Dynasty literature. He first followed the etiquette rules of Hanlin Ci officials and said hello:

"Four years ago, I competed with Senior Tang. Junior, I was lucky enough to win a move. I have always wanted to focus on competing with Senior Tang."

Zhu Guozuo glanced at Tang Wenwen in surprise, Brother Tang, do you still have such an awesome history? Only lost one move against Lin Tailai?

Then Lin Tailai said to Zhu Guozuo: "Senior Zhu has a good name!"

Zhu Guozuo responded calmly: "Your name is not bad either!"

it is more than words

Zhu Guozuo and the chief minister Lu Guangzu were from the same hometown in Jiaxing Prefecture. Thinking of Lu Shangshu's experience, he couldn't get too close to Lin Tailai, so he stopped talking after the greetings.

Lin Tailai didn't care about vulgar interpersonal relationships and ineffective social interactions. When he saw that there was a third set of tables, chairs, and stationery in the room, he sat directly over.

Then he played with the paperweight on the table and smiled at Tang Wenxian: "I just met Scholar Chen. He was so polite and said that he would pack another set of desks, chairs and stationery for me.

Obviously there is something ready-made here, so there is no need to raise a large number of people. I think this place is quite good. "

Tang Wenwen reminded helplessly: "The place you are sitting now is the place where Zhang Yuan, the number one scholar in the fifth year of Longqing's reign, died just now."

Lin Tailai: ""

Calm down! The child is speechless and his strange power confuses the gods!

You must not stand up because you are terrified! This will destroy his fearless image and strong persona!

At this moment, Shen Yongmao walked in and shouted: "I heard you came here, I was looking for you!"

The Ministry of War is also next to Yujie, and is only separated from the Hanlin Academy by a yamen, so it is very close to each other.

Then Shen Yongmao put a large pile of manuscripts on the table and said to Lin Tai: "These are related poems and songs that have been collected recently. Come and take a look!"

Lin Tailai had nothing to do, so he was talking to Shen Yongmao and flipping through the manuscript. Suddenly he saw a little song:

"It's difficult to get to the top of the imperial examination, but one fate and two fates will never matter.

The recruitment list is used as a private letter to cover up the talent's path.

Nothing more. I spat out my pen. It's really hard for you to relax.

I raised the pen tip low. Clean up with you.

It is easy to discuss the gold level countermeasures. "

"Zong Sang!" Lin Zhuangyuan even cursed in dialect, "Who is so ignorant and making up random things?"

I won the first prize based on my own ability, but how could I rely on favors?

Shen Yongmao raised his head and glanced, "This song was written by a man named Tang Xianzu. He is a Nanjing official. His term of office has recently expired and he is in the capital to resign."

Anyway, this person is famously cynical. Even Zhang Jiangling dared to contradict him back then. His political views tended to be somewhat clear-sighted, but his literary and artistic skills were really good. "

Lin Tailai snorted coldly. He had met Tang Xianzu at least once in Zhang Fengyi's Qiuzhi Garden, but he didn't expect that this man would be so unkind!

Immediately, Lin Tailai shouted to Zhang Wu, the right protector outside the house: "Send a message to Zhang Wen outside the gate! Send more people to find an official named Tang Xianzu, who is from Linchuan, Jiangxi! If you find him, please come here, no matter what method you use." !”

Zhu Zhuangyuan and Tang Zhuangyuan, who were in the same room, looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, the strange feeling lingered in their hearts.

Why do you suddenly feel that the elegant style of the Number One Scholar Hall is about to be lost and it will become the White Tiger Hall in the future?

Lin Zhuangyuan continued to look through the manuscript, this time much more carefully, and suddenly saw another long song called "Lin Lang Qu".

"Lin Lang once met in Chang'an. There was a banquet with lanterns and wine in the high hall. Dark clouds appeared, and the whole hall was filled with excitement.

De Lang's eyes were filled with gleaming eyes, and he was envied by thousands of people. People like to see Lang Yanhong, and Lang also likes to see people in their seats.

I haven’t met a champion yet, but I know a hero when I catch a glimpse of him.”

"What the hell is this?" Lin Tailai asked doubtfully, and it was quite catchy.

Shen Yongmao explained: "This is a work inspired by Hong Ling Jade Peony, who has had a relationship with you.

Last time you came to the capital to take the martial arts exam, didn't you ask her to stay overnight for you many times? "

Lin Zhuangyuan recalled for a while, and finally vaguely remembered the image of a beautiful woman who was miserably suppressed by Wang Shiwu.

Recently, for the sake of fame, I have been practicing self-cultivation and being cautious in my words and deeds, which has caused me to get a little angry.

"Damn it! This girl dares to take advantage of me without my consent!" Lin Zhuangyuan shouted angrily.

Then he ordered Zhang Wu, the right protector outside the house: "Go to the gate and send a message to Zhang Wen!

Go to Jiaofang Sixiyuan Hutong and invite me to come here with Jade Peony! I'm going to teach her a lesson! "

After giving the instructions, Lin Zhuangyuan felt that something was still not thoughtful. There seemed to be two colleagues in the room?

Then he turned to Zhu Guozuo and Tang Wenxian and said, "Seniors, can you please stay away for a while?"

Zhu Guozuo: ""

Tang literature: ""

Senior champions of all ages, please open your eyes! The reputation of this Hall of Number One Scholars, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, will be destroyed in one day!

Family education is very strict, and the outflow of reproductive resources is strictly prohibited. Applicants can only be used as cloud players in the entertainment industry. Mao said with interest:

"Originally, the popularity of Jade Peony from the West Campus has declined in the past two years, but recently it has become popular again. Together with Yaotao from the East City Headquarters, they are the two most popular celebrities in recent times."

Lin Zhuangyuan suddenly felt that he might have been ignorant recently, so he asked shamelessly: "Who is Yaotao?"

Uncle Shen asked in surprise: "You don't know Yaotao? Have you seen her?"

Lin Zhuangyuan was a little confused. As a champion, his memory is not that bad, right? Unplugging the ruthlessness and not recognizing it and not recognizing it at all are two different things!

Shen Yongmao replied: "That's the beauty you knocked unconscious when you gave Gu Xiancheng a lecture at the end of last year."

Lin Tailai was speechless, could this be popular?

Shen Yongmao continued to explain: "Two beauties, Yaotao and Yu Mudan, one claims to have been beaten by Jiu Kui's number one scholar, and the other claims to have been beaten by the wife of Jiu Kui's number one scholar! Together they can outdo all other beauties!"

Lin Tailai: ""

Then Shen Yongmao pulled out a manuscript and said, "There is also a ditty written by Yaotao here."

All I can see is that it says: "The title alone occupies the golden list, and the thrush climbs the white jade bed together.

The Qiu arms are vigorous, the phoenix body is in full swing, and the peach blossoms are flying in the spring waves.

The concubine is a horse, and the king is the rider. Suddenly, in a dream, the number one scholar returns. "

After reading it, Lin Tailai suddenly lost interest. Even if he had sex for free, he would have lost money! The cheaper ones are all the other side!

The title of Jiukui Number One Scholar suddenly became a shackle for him. Will he no longer have the pleasure of free prostitution?
