Idle courtiers

Chapter 484 Imperial Academy ([-])

On May 42rd in the [-]nd year of Jiajing, Zhou Zimu, the Tanhua Lang of Xinke, went to the Imperial Academy to be on duty in high spirits.

Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou is no stranger to this place, and he didn't know how many times he came here when he was working in the cabinet's book department.

The Hanlin Academy is located in the imperial city. After entering the Meridian Gate, there is the sixth department on the right hand side, and there is an inconspicuous corner behind the sixth department.

Although it is inconspicuous, but in the Ming Dynasty, non-Hanlin were not allowed to enter the cabinet, and this place did not know how many ministers and six hall officials, no one dared to underestimate it.

At the gate of the Meridian Gate, Zhou Hanlin couldn't help but sigh: "To this day, my road to the imperial examination has finally come to an end. Not only have I been squeezed into the civil service system, but I also came from a famous and professional background."Standing behind him is a master teacher, surrounded by hundreds of classmates of the same age.By this time, my official career will be truly stable, and no one, no matter how high in status, dares to dismiss me even if I disagree with him.Even without Xu Jie's background and the relationship between the emperor and his ministers, he could still stand upright in the world.

It feels so good to be relaxed and fearless!

While he was in a daze, suddenly someone beside him shouted: "If you dare to ask, it is Mr. Zhou Tanhua Zhou."

Zhou Nan turned his head to look, but saw that it was a servant who looked like a servant, but he didn't know him.

He asked suspiciously, "Who are you and what's the matter?"

The servant made a bow and said respectfully: "Zhou Tanhua doesn't know a villain, but a villain knows Tanhualang. The young one is a servant of the Xu family in Changping. Today, he was ordered by the young master to come and see the list. May I ask when will the announcement of the Hanlin Academy be posted?"

"It turns out that you are a servant of brother Xu Nian's family." Zhou Nan suddenly realized that today should be the day when the imperial examinations are released.He and Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue are in the same class, and he can directly enter the Imperial Academy without taking the exam.As for others, they have to pass the exam to compete for the remaining 66 places.

I think this fellow must have come here to read the list for his young master, as for Brother Xu, he probably won't come until someone has enough sleep.

Looking at the distance, more than a hundred people have gathered outside the gate of the imperial city, and it is estimated that more people will come in a while.

Zhou Nan: "Why do you ask my lord?"

Servant: "Isn't Tan Hualang from the Imperial Academy? Of course you know."

Zhou Nan: "Today is my first day on duty, and I don't know anything about the courtyard." He came to report today, if he is late, he must be careful not to leave a bad impression on his superiors.

If you delay any longer, when the fellows come over next time, you will have to greet and entertain, and even delay.

I don't want to talk to that person anymore.

The servant: "Tanhualang, please stop, the villain is presumptuous, and I want to ask the elder a word."

Zhou Nan was unhappy in his heart. If in the past, with his temper, he would have directly ordered someone to beat this unsightly guy away.

But after thinking about it, I am an Hanlin anyway, and I will rush to be a cabinet minister in the future. The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so why bother with him: "If you have something to ask, ask quickly."

Servant: "Dare to ask the elder, can my young master be a good man?"

"Maybe he will pass. Xu Tongnian is so talented that the central government is surrounded by local governments. A mere court exam is nothing." Zhou Nan said casually.

The servant hesitated for a moment: "Is it really possible to hit... I'm afraid it may not be..."

Zhou Nan wondered, the servants of other people's family hoped that their master would have a good future, why did this bird man hope that Xu Yangda would lose his position?
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood that the Hanlin officials are poor, and that is as refreshing as the seventh-rank magistrate.

For example, the Shujishi, approved by this dynasty, are not in the stream.But the treatment is the same as the top three of the first class, and enjoy the treatment of the fifth rank.Every year, 42 taels of silver and [-] stones of rice will be issued in real time.Converted into the life currency of later generations, the annual income is only about [-] yuan.

This is in the capital where every inch of land is expensive and prices are so high that even migrant workers can't compare.

With this income, the Xiao Hanlins all feel that Dameng Dynasty's anti-corruption work has hope, so they deserve a thumbs up.

You, Xu Yangda, are a child of an aristocratic family, and your salary is basically unchanged for you, and your wife basically doesn't need it, but the servants still have to support a large family!There is no outside water, just relying on the month of the month, no different from a beggar.

If you can go to the local area to be a seventh-rank county magistrate, the situation is different.

This person is obviously Xu Yangda's personal follower, and he will definitely bring him there when the time comes.When you get to the place, you can eat and get cards, and be the king. I don’t know how cool it is.

Because on the day when the results of the imperial examinations are released every time, the servants will smile when they hear that the master has landed and is going to be an official in the local area.And when I heard that I stayed in school and became a small Hanlin, I would burst into tears.

It can be seen from this that in the face of actual interests, servants may not all be of the same mind as their masters.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan wanted to laugh.Speaking of which, he formed an alliance with Xu Yang and brought down Yan Song's party, and his grievances with the Xu family have long been wiped out.But this Xu Yangda was still relentless and kept looking for his own bad luck, he was really an annoying guy.

He thought for a while, and he was not polite, and said firmly: "Don't worry, brother Xu Nian will definitely not win."

The servant was overjoyed: "Is what Tan Hualang said true?"

Zhou Nan: "Nonsense, Brother Xu Nian's ranking in the Jinshi Department this year is the bottom, and he almost lost his name to Sun Shan. It's a blessing to be able to give him a Jinshi background. It's ridiculous to expect something from the Imperial Academy."

These words are already quite blunt. The so-called master worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master humiliates his ministers to death.In the past, if he humiliated his master face to face, that villain would probably fight Zhou Nan desperately.

But the guy in front of him was even more pleasantly surprised, bowing his hands again and again: "Thank you Eldest Master, thank you Elder Master...ah, Young Master!"

Amidst the screams, the servant fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed vigorously.

Zhou Nan was shocked, and looked intently, but saw that at some point Xu Yangda emerged from the twilight of the morning light, and looked at Zhou Nan angrily: "What are you talking about, you insult me?" Too much, I will never let you go!"

Zhou Nan laughed: "Whether Brother Xu Nian can win or not, we will know when the rankings are released in an hour. Friends Xu, I am busy reporting to the Imperial Academy, but I don't have time to chat with you. We will have a long time to come."

Xu Yangda's eyes were full of anger: "Zhou Nan, if you have the guts, don't leave after you leave the office."

Zhou Nan didn't bother to get angry with the kid, so she cupped her hands, turned around and left.

Behind him, the servant kept knocking his head on the ground until his forehead was bloody.

This guy picked up Xu's bowl to eat meat, and put down the bowl to scold his mother.Even if Zhou Nan had a rift with Xu Yangda, he still looked down on this kind of [-]-year-old boy, and didn't care about his life or death.

In any case, the future of this servant is completely bleak.

After entering the imperial city, Zhou Nan first went to the Ministry of Officials to register as an official, received a dispatch, then walked eastward for a while, and came to the Imperial Academy.

Looking up, I saw a stone archway facing me, and the three big characters written to the Hanlin Academy were written by the great scholar Yang Yiqing.

After walking for a while, I arrived at a courtyard with the four characters "Limenyi Road" written on the plaque. This is the office of the number one head of the Imperial Academy and a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

　The chapters tonight have been updated ahead of time. The children have signed up for the new semester. These two days have been very busy, and they are all small chapters. Please forgive me.
