Chapter 668 Imperial Academy

Du Jinning's rank is low, so he is not qualified to go to court.But the Shangya must click Mao.The so-called Dianmao, as the name suggests, is to roll the name at the time of Mao.

Mao time is equivalent to five to seven o'clock in the modern morning.At the right time, it is six o'clock.

Fortunately, after traveling to ancient times, there was no entertainment at night. Du Jinning didn't want to light up and read a book in order to protect his eyes, so he went to bed at seven or eight o'clock after walking for half an hour after dinner.Go to bed early, get up early naturally.She gets up before five o'clock every day, starts to jog a few laps and then practices a few punches.So getting up at five o'clock and having breakfast to go to work does not affect her life rhythm at all.

Two quarters later, her carriage stopped far away in front of the palace gate.

Because it was going to go to court early, there were many carriages and sedan chairs parked in front of the palace gate, and her carriage could not drive there, so she could only walk for a certain distance.

Take out your waist card and verify your identity.Du Jinning stepped into the palace.

She had already found out clearly that the Hanlin Academy, as the emperor's secretarial institution, was located in the palace, separated from the courtyard of the main hall where the emperor worked.That is to say, if the emperor has any orders, the eunuch will come to deliver the message, and it is only a few minutes away, which is very convenient.

According to the information she found out, she walked west for a while after entering the door, and she saw a courtyard with a few large characters written in imperial pen on the gate: Hanlin Academy of Sciences.

It is here.

Du Jinning happily entered the gate.

The courtyard that catches the eye is quite large, paved with green bricks.There are two flower beds surrounded by fences on both sides of the corridor, and two trees and some flowers are planted in the flower beds.On both sides of the courtyard are two corridors.From a distance, Du Jinning saw a plaque hanging on the gate of the main courtyard, with a few large characters written on it: "Chengzhi Pavilion".

Du Jinning hurriedly walked in along the corridor on the left and reached the gate of Chengzhi Pavilion. As she expected, the gate of Chengzhi Pavilion was closed tightly.

The current Hanlin Academy is not a cabinet institution like the Imperial Academy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Although it was much more important than it was in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still a relatively simple secretarial institution.At this time, the number of seats in the Imperial Academy was only six, and Chengzhi was the largest official in the Imperial Academy, with a rank of five.There are two old Hanlin under him, one from the fifth rank and the other from the sixth rank.Next to that is Du Jinning, the new No. [-] scholar, from the sixth rank; the lowest official position is the second place Yao Rongguan and Tanhua Qi Muyuan, who are the seventh rank.

Since Du Jinning's three upper officials are fifth-rank officials, they naturally have to go to court; Yao Rongguan and Qi Muyuan haven't come yet.Apart from Du Jinning himself, naturally there is not even a ghost here.

Chengzhi Pavilion is the main courtyard, as the name suggests, it is the office of Mr. Chengzhi.When the eunuchs came to pass on the emperor's imperial decree, they would go directly to the Chengzhi Pavilion to explain it, and then Mr. Chengzhi would assign the tasks to the subordinates.There are three rooms in the row of Chengzhi Pavilion, all of which have locked doors, and it is not known whether the three old Hanlins have their own room, or whether these three rooms are the office of Mr. Chengzhi.

She looked around for a while, then walked forward again, and sure enough, she saw a passage in the innermost part, which went straight through the backyard.

The pattern of the back yard is the same as that of the front yard.However, the three rooms are all open, with a table and a few chairs in each, and some of the four treasures of the study, presumably it is their office.

Among the three new scholars, Du Jinning was of the highest rank, so she walked straight into the middle room, picked a chair and sat down.

As soon as she sat down and took a breath, she heard footsteps outside, obviously Yao Rongguan or Qi Muyuan had come.She didn't bother to get up, she just sat quietly, waiting for someone to come.

"It should be here, right? Why is there no one to respond?"

This is Yao Rongguan's voice.

"The three adults should have gone to court. And in the six offices outside, the adults can bring their servants or long-term attendants; this is the imperial palace, and no one else is allowed to enter. Therefore, apart from our three newcomers, there is no one here. Others, naturally no one will come to meet you." Qi Muyuan said.

"Why hasn't Du Zhuangyuan come yet? It's almost time."

Before Yao Rongguan finished speaking, he saw the old god Du Jinning sitting on the ground in the middle of the room, watching him quietly with his beautiful big eyes like grapes.

He couldn't help being embarrassed, and raised his hand to make a bow to Du Jinning: "Master Du, are you here early? It seems that the official came late, hehe..."

"I just arrived too." Du Jinning got up and raised his hand to salute, and then greeted, "I'm afraid we have to wait for a while. Why don't you come in first and wait for Mr. Chengzhi to come back and assign the room, so we will know who sits where between."

Yao Rongguan and Qi Muyuan came in and sat down next to each other.

Such a big incident happened to Du Jinning that day, so Qi Bokun would not go back without telling Qi Muyuan.Although Qi Bokun disapproved of their friendship, he could also see that Du Jinning's political ability made her like the sun in the sky, and no one could block her light.It is very beneficial for Qi Muyuan to make friends with such a person.He made up his mind that as long as Qi Muyuan obediently married a wife and had children, he would not care about Du Qi's affairs.

When he heard that Du Jinning was involved in such a big event, Qi Muyuan was taken aback, and ran to Du's house to complain, complaining that Du Jinning knew that Langzhong Shen had bad intentions that day, so he didn't tell him.If he accompanied Du Jinning to the appointment, nothing would happen.

At that time, Du Jinning blocked him: "Who asked you to tell your grandfather about that? It made me ashamed to see your grandfather."

Immediately she chased Qi Muyuan out: "Let's go, in the future, except for a few brothers' gatherings, don't come to me alone, lest your grandfather think too much. I don't want to upset his old man."

The first time they met today, the two of them were a little embarrassed.

Yao Rongguan knew that Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan had a talent, a background, and a bright future, so they wanted to get close to them.Reluctantly, as soon as he sat down, Du Jinning took out a book from the book bag she brought, and read it on his own, without any intention of chatting with him and Qi Muyuan.

Looking back, Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning did the same thing.

In fact, this is a habit that the two have developed since childhood.Both of them read books when they had a little spare time, instead of chatting and wandering around in a daze.I knew yesterday that after I came to the Hanlin Academy today, I would have to sit on a cold bench and wait for an hour or two. Naturally, I had to bring a few books, so as not to be bored and not knowing how to pass the time.

Yao Rongguan was extremely excited yesterday, imagining how he would get along with Shangguan, how to express himself, how to let Lord Chengzhi assign more tasks to him, and then what he wrote would be appreciated by the emperor, and he would be promoted step by step.

So when he came to the Yamen today, except for some small personal items, he didn't bring any books.

Seeing him looking around and fidgeting, Du Jinning kindly took out a book from his book bag and handed it over: "Master Yao, if you are bored, why not read a book?"

So the three old Hanlins came back to the Hanlin Academy after leaving the court, and found that the Hanlin Academy was quiet and seemed to be empty.The three of them found the back and saw three new scholars sitting in a room, each holding a book and reading intently.
