Jinyi champion

Chapter 965

Capital, Hanlin Academy.

At this time, the senior officials of the Imperial Academy were holding an internal meeting. Three attendant lecturers, two Hanlin bachelors, and one Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, a total of six people attended the meeting.

The youngest among them is Yang Shen, who has just been promoted to a bachelor's degree.

Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shijia Yong, was transferred from the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Officials.During the Zhengde period, he was in charge of the Hanlin Academy for a long time as a student of the Southern Imperial Academy, and worshiped the Nanjing Guozijian to offer wine.

Feng Xi, a Hanlin scholar at the side, couldn't help asking: "I don't know the candidate for the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Has the imperial court made a decision?"

Earlier, there were rumors that Jia Yong would be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but because the Ministry of Rites is now involved in the issue of great rituals, Jia Yong is not a member of the School of Rites, so he did not fall into the emperor's eyes, and instead returned to the Hanyuan system again.

The Ministry of Officials controls the promotion of officials, and the status of Zuo Shilang is extremely respected. Although Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu is also a third-rank official, the emperor has no heirs now, so it is more of a vacant position.At first glance, Jia Yong is derogatory, but in fact Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi has the qualifications to join the cabinet, perhaps it is more appropriate to use a flat evaluation.

Since Jia Yong has been an official in the Ministry of Officials for a long time, he has the most say in this matter. He shook his head and said: "It has not been clarified yet, and the selection may be made by the court."

Fengxi nodded slightly, and looked at Shi Pang beside him.

Shi Juan had served concurrently as Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu before, but now Jia Yong took the position, and thus became an empty Hanlin scholar, because he used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and now even if the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is vacant, it is not his turn.

In this case, either Shi Pang will advance to the cabinet and become a cabinet scholar, or he will retreat. There is no third way to go.

Shi Jue took out the list that Yang Shen had seen before, and displayed it in front of several people: "This is the list of all the serving scholars and lecturers of the Imperial Academy, as well as the roster of all officials inside and outside the Imperial Academy. Some of them only hold posts in the Imperial Academy. I haven’t taken any actual positions, so I will discuss with you in advance how many people will be selected to serve as attendants, lecturers, or make changes in other positions.”

The emperor signed the eunuch Zhang Zuo with the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, and greeted the Imperial Academy for internal selection.

The main reason is that the emperor wanted to add another Hanlin scholar, and at the same time, the cabinet may undergo major changes. Jiang Mian is almost counting the days to retire, while Fei Hong and Liu Chun seem to be neutral, but they may not be able to keep their positions as cabinet ministers. In fact, although Huang Zan has not been in the cabinet for a long time, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is a transitional figure and will not stay in the cabinet for long before retiring.

Recently, there are frequent personnel changes in the court, and there are too many vacancies, especially those involving the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy. It is necessary for the Imperial Academy to prepare for personnel changes in advance.

Yang Shendao: "In Hanyuan, who is the attendant reader and attendant lecturer, is it so important?"

Several people looked at Yang Shen at the same time.

Although Yang Shen was the youngest and the lowest-qualified person among those present, he was also the most "powerful" existence. Who made him the son of the former Chief Assistant?
Moreover, everyone knew that Yang Shen was in the position because of his father's relationship.

The emperor treated Yang Shen politely, which does not mean that the emperor appreciates it. On the contrary, the emperor probably hates Yang Shen deeply. Yang Shen has always regarded himself as an opinion leader, and he is the leader among young scholars. In front of a few old guys, he Trying to find a sense of presence.

Fengxi looked at Yang Shen: "Yongxiu, I don't know what your opinion is on this? I have discussed with most of my colleagues here. First, one person will recommend another person. Whether it is successful or not is another matter. At least there is a general direction."

Yang Shen frowned.

He could hear himself being boycotted.

Since Fengxi said that he had discussed it in advance, it meant that before this meeting, a small meeting had been held within the Imperial Academy, and he was isolated from this circle.

Then this time, they didn't come to discuss with him. It is likely that a few old guys have already made a plan and just informed him symbolically.

Yang Shendao: "The Imperial Academy can't accommodate so many attendants and lecturers at one time. In the coming year, there will be less lecturers on feast days."

Tough stance.

Shi Jue explained: "You don't have to worry, first select someone for the assessment...I'll come, I'll choose Zhong Cheng."

Shi Yu chose Zhang Yanqing, who was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde and stayed in the museum as a concubine. Until now, in terms of seniority, he and Yang Shen were both Jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde. In fact, Zhang Yanqing stayed in the Imperial Academy The time was longer, because Yang Shen took a break for quite a while.

Now Zhengde Jinshi stayed in the library for six years and only edited, leaving only Zhang Yanqing.

Fengxi shook his head, meaning he didn't recommend it.

Then came Li Tingxiang, a bachelor of attendant lecturer: "I choose Heng Zhong."

It is Cai Ang.

Cai Ang was a probationer for the ninth year of Zhengde, and his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy are relatively old. Cai Ang and Zhu Hao were also assigned to dig coal in Xishan, and they were good friends.

Yang Shen couldn't listen anymore, stood up and said, "This choice breaks the rules of the court, and the affairs of the Imperial Academy should not be decided in this way."

Jia Yong next to him motioned Yang Shen to sit down, and couldn't help but sigh.

It probably means that we are very polite now, and when we encounter something, we still think of bringing Yang Yongxiu to discuss it, otherwise we few high-level officials can make a decision, what's the matter with some of you attendants?

Fengxi said: "Yongxiu, let me tell you first, which of the several editors in the Imperial Academy makes you think that the future is bright? You haven't been promoted to serve as a lecturer for a long time, so you should get to know them better."

Yang Shen looked sullen, probably because he felt that this group of people treated him as an outsider, let alone listened to him, and now they were even perfunctory in the discussion, which he found unacceptable, but he still made his own choice: "I recommend Respect!"

"what!?"

Several people were greatly surprised.

You, Yang Yongxiu, are really weird. You have so many friends and friends around you. You and Zhu Jingdao had a good relationship before, but now he doesn't even come to the Imperial Academy. How dare you recommend him?

"My respect..."

Liu Long, a lecturer at the side, seemed to have a different opinion, "It's not appropriate, I seldom see other people now, and I haven't seen him publish a few manuscripts when I am editing the "Records". Let him go up like this, I'm afraid it will..."

Yang Shen said angrily: "Didn't you ask me to select you? I think that Jing Dao is conscientious and has contributed a lot to discussing ceremonies. Why can't he be promoted? Just because he is from a military family? Or is he also from an An Lu, are you going to cut off his official career?"

Fengxi was a little embarrassed: "Yongxiu, be safe and don't be impatient."

With a straight face, Yang Shen sat down angrily and remained silent.

Fengxi said: "It's okay to respect Taoism. He used to do a lot of things for the court, and Bingyong who is in the same department as him is now a student. Besides... alas! Let's do it first."

In fact, this remark was not finished. What Fengxi meant was that since Zhang Bingyong was serving as a student, the next step would be to be promoted to a Hanlin Bachelor, and the number one scholar in that subject is still only a Hanlin Xiuzhuan. The contrast is too obvious.Since Zhang Cong can do it, Zhu Hao can't say no.

Liu Longdao: "Then I recommend Guoshang, he is upright, he dares to remonstrate and he can also remonstrate directly, and now he should make some progress."

This is about Shu Fen, the No. 12 scholar in Zhengde for [-] years.

Shu Fen was exiled for admonishing Zhu Houzhao not to travel, and returned to the Imperial Academy only after he ascended the throne in Jiajing. Zhu Hao, the champion of the year, was recommended, so Liu Long naturally wanted to give Shu Fen a hand.

Finally it was Jia Yong's turn.

Jia Yongdao: "Maogong and Shao'e are both acceptable, it's hard to make a decision."

Others either did not recommend one, or recommended one, but Jia Yong recommended both Yu Chengxun and Ye Guizhang at once, and these two should have been recommended by Yang Shen.

He didn't intend to break the rules by recommending two at a time. Apparently, in another internal meeting, they all felt that Yang Shen should recommend one of the two. Who knew that Yang Shen would recommend Zhu Hao without following the routine, while Jia Yong had to tell the last two candidates in the discussion.

Shi Yu made the final concluding remarks.

"If the Imperial Academy really wants to select new ministers and lecturers, among these few people, I will represent the Hanlin Academy and recommend several people together. If the imperial court wants to select a new scholar and lecturer , I’m afraid it’s beyond the reach of the few of us, it depends on the outcome of the court discussion.”

At the level of a bachelor, the small council within the Hanlin Academy does not have any decision-making power.

Even if it is the selection of attendants and lecturers, the few people selected within the Hanlin Academy are only "candidates". The final choice depends on the emperor's intentions, but if the emperor is not demanding, he can recommend it like this , with a high probability of being directly approved.

Of course, it is impossible for the number of recommendations to match the gap, so it depends on who is more appreciated by the high-level.

……

……

When Yang Shen left the meeting room and returned to his bachelor's room, Yu Chengxun and Ye Guizhang arrived on time.

Yang Shen was still sulking.

"Yongxiu, why did some scholars come to you earlier?" Yu Chengxun asked.

Yang Shen said coldly: "They are bachelors, so am I not a bachelor?"

"This……"

Yu Chengxun could hear Yang Shen's anger.

This shows that Yang Shen has hit a wall in front of those few people.

Yang Shendao: "The Hanlin Academy has a selection of ministers and lecturers. Let one person choose one person. Both of you are on the list. And... respectful."

When Yu Chengxun and Ye Guizhang heard this, they were naturally overjoyed.

But they can't show surprise just yet.

Yu Chengxun asked, "Who did you choose?"

Yang Shen suddenly felt that someone asked a soul-torturing question. Can I say that I didn't choose either of you?
"Someone pushed you before, so I chose the way of respect." Yang Shen said.

Anyway, you didn't go to the meeting, and you were indeed selected by Jia Yong. I deliberately messed up the order, saying that I had no choice but to choose Zhu Hao because you were on the candidate list first, so that no one would be offended. I also applauded you appropriately, which proves that the senior officials of the Imperial Academy have long regarded your efforts in their eyes.

Yu Chengxun finally showed a smile at this time: "That's good, if there is a chance... Sigh! This is just an internal discussion, so it can't be done right."

Ye Guizhang said: "But Jingdao is still unknown."

Apparently Ye Guizhang held a certain amount of hostility towards Zhu Hao. After all, Zhu Hao was too much in the limelight before. He was obviously a casual person and didn't want to do anything, but he always seemed to remember what happened. Others had worked in the Imperial Academy for more than ten years. But the major events he has experienced are not as much as half of Zhu Hao's.

Yang Shendao: "It's true that Jing Dao is not suitable to be promoted to be a servant or lecturer, but if he doesn't get promoted, he will be sent to other places, and he has a long history of friendship with the people of Xingwang's mansion, keeping him in the capital will be of great help to us. "

This can be regarded as Yang Shen found a reason for himself to choose Zhu Hao.

I kept him just to find him to do business, so that even if you two find out that I chose him first, you shouldn't blame me, right?
