Chapter 396 Entering Zhiwenyuan Pavilion
Lin Yanchao wrote a letter to Lin Yanchao, hoping that when Lin Yanchao became an official, he would not forget to study and study.
Lin Yanchao thought for a while and felt that it was right. In the past few months, he had been busy re-educating the rituals and planning how to enter the cabinet, and ignored his daily academic research.
I used to study to make a career, but now I just need to read only what is helpful to myself.
Lin Yanchao thought about what he was best at the moment, besides articles, was classics.
Although my attainments in classics were not as good as Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he could still understand the Five Classics at the age of 26.
I have already gained a place among the scholars of the dynasty with the "Ancient Literature of Shangshu", but the "Shangshu Collection" I wrote later was a failure. For the majority of scholars, my influence on the "Shangshu Collection" was not as good as the previous one.
Lin Yanchao also reviewed the reason why the "Book of Notes on the Book of Documents" failed. The main reason was that he was too utilitarian and was too eager to print the book for the sake of becoming famous in the imperial examination, so he was in some shortcomings in writing.
After all, it was too early to make annotations for the Shangshu at the age of nineteen, so it was natural for scholars to not accept it.
So Lin Yanchao planned to study the scriptures hard when he was free, and then integrated Mr. Gu Jiegang's efforts and re-edited the Annotations of the Book of Documents.
If the re-revised collection of the Book of Documents can be recognized. Then, through his influence in the Hanlin Academy, Lin Yanchao issued the re-revised collection of the Book of Documents in all directions to replace the book collections written by Cai Qian and others with many omissions and errors, and since then it has become a special imperial examination book for every scholar who uses the Book of Documents as the scriptures.
If this can be achieved, then I will become a master of Confucianism and gain the status of a great scholar in the world. From this point of view, it can be considered as a statement among the Three Immortals. Half of the success.
Lin Yanchao replied to Lin Yan seriously and wrote until midnight.
The next day, Lin Yanchao went to the yamen. After eating a hot porridge cooked by Lin Qianqian, he went to the yamen in a carriage.
It was mid-August and the weather was still very hot. It was only two days since Lin Yanchao entered the cabinet.
After arriving at the Prosecutor's Office, the official came out with a list to paint the paintings for Lin Yanchao, and said with a smile: "Master of the editor, we all believe in you."
Lin Yanchao asked while painting Mao, "How do you say this?"
When the official said, "When you come to the yamen, you are the first person in the Hanlin Academy. In the past six months, it has been raining and snow, and the cold and heat are not mixed. How can you not admire us who are in charge?"
"Where is it, you have to open the door."
When the official smiled and said, "How dare you be a good person? The minor officials are all living in the office. It's no more than the master, you can go to the yamen. I heard that the master is going to enter the cabinet recently, so I'll congratulate you here first."
Lin Yanchao smiled and handed the list to the official.
As soon as he entered the door, Huang Can came up and wiped the table for Lin Yanchao very hard, and said with a bright sunshine on his face: "The master will enter the cabinet in the next two days. I'll be here to congratulate you on the master."
"It's just a rotation, and I still have to go back to the office in half a year."
"The master enters the cabinet to do business and will soon be a great worshiper. At that time, please help me and let the villain serve you for the rest of your life!"
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but laugh.
Then Huang Can brewed a pot of high-end incense slices. Lin Yanchao drank tea while reading the classics he had practiced yesterday.
Soon the Hanlin in the hall came to sign together.
Before starting work, my colleagues couldn't help chatting, and said, "The Ministry of Revenue has become increasingly unreasonable recently. Look at the official salary given this month, the original silver and grain is more than 30% less than before, and then the part is insufficient to get the magnetic wood and bedding to pay for the salary. What do you think this is true?"
"Yes. It would be fine if you use other easy-to-money items to pay for your salary, but this wood and bedding. How can I take action?"
"Forget it, the imperial court is now in Liaodong and Mongolia is using military forces, so it is inevitable that there will be insufficient money and food. As a minister, we must also understand the difficulties of the imperial court."
"I think there is insufficient money and food. Since Zhang Jiangling practiced the whip law, hasn't he claimed that the treasury is full? It is definitely because the Ministry of Revenue has maggots. Humph, let's see how Beijing Cha Kedao impeach them next year."
"We are officials, one for the king, and two for the sake of wealth. We are not worthy of supporting our relatives. What should we do for the officials? Zonghai, do you think?"
Seeing the topic on himself, Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "What brother said is reasonable."
To be honest, when an official in Beijing, he died of drought, and he died of flooding. The six ministries' yamen received tan Jingbingjing every year, but their Hanlin Academy and other nine ministers' yamen seemed much colder, so they could only hope to give some more in the same year as the official outside.
Not every Beijing official is as beautiful as he imagined.
Just as everyone was chatting, Chen Siyu walked in and said, "Comrade Lin Xiu, Editor Liu, the official letter from the cabinet has arrived. You will go to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet the three cabinet ministers today, and then go back to the yamen to pack up your things."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Chen Siyu say this. They thought Lin Yanchao and the others would have at least two or three days left, but they didn't expect to enter the cabinet today.
At this moment, the Hanlin people said goodbye to Lin Yanchao and Liu Yukui.
Lin and Liu went out of the yamen together.
Liu Yukui passed the imperial examination in the 19th year, so although he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy in the fifth year of Longqing, he is only in his early thirties now.
The two of them tested the tooth cards in front of the palace gate, and then they walked along the way, Liu Yukui took the initiative to say to Lin Yanchao: "Brother Zonghai, we should be working in the cabinet this time together, so we should support each other."
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to show his goodwill, Lin Yanchao did not refuse and said with a smile: "Of course, Editor Liu is Yanchao's senior, and he is knowledgeable in Hanyuan. After entering the cabinet, I would like to ask Editor Liu to give me some advice."
Seeing Lin Yanchao's posture so low, Liu Yukui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zonghai, don't worry, what do you don't understand if the office worker joins the cabinet? You can ask me."
At the beginning, the two of them competed with each other in the rotation cabinet, but this was also within the normal scope and could not be said to be hostile. In the end, Lin Yanchao did not rely on relationships, but instead recommended himself to impress the emperor and Zhang Juzheng with a flat edict, which was a dignified victory. Liu Yukui not only had nothing to say, but also admired Lin Yanchao's talent and decisiveness.
Of course, thanks to Lin Yanchao's foresight, if he had rashly taken the team, agreed to Liu Yuanzhen, and formed an alliance with him and went against Liu Yukui, the two would not have such a pleasant conversation today.
Even if Liu Yukui didn't know about this, Lin Yanchao would not be friends with him.
So Liu Yukui said to Lin Yanchao: "Since Zong Hai asked, Brother Yu had a reminder that he had just entered the cabinet to do business, and he was not in a hurry to say anything else. Today we are going to meet the three cabinet masters. It is a very important thing to meet Shangguan for the first time, and we need to prepare early."
Speaking of this, Liu Yukui asked Lin Yanchao with a serious expression: "Zonghai, come and see the three masters later. Do you know what the three masters are, their temperaments, and their preferences?" (To be continued.)
