The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

To report the Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng brought Yun Yan back with him the next time he entered the palace.

When I entered, it happened that the official was talking with several ministers, so Bao Zheng asked Yun Yan to take it outside and went in by himself. At first glance, there are not only Prime Minister Wang Fu, and several old ministers, but also Yun Yanhui's uncle Zheng Li Zheng Zhiyuan.

Bao Zheng nodded and greeted everyone, and then after they had finished, he explained what Kaifeng Mansion wanted to do. This matter is more organized, so he did not choose to write a book, but talked about it personally.

It happened that the people from the Privy Council were there, and when they heard it with ears erect, they immediately expressed their disapproval.

Bao Zheng finds it very strange, you run your mansion newspaper, I will do my mansion newspaper, and then I will show you where there is no violation of laws and regulations, right? Can you object to it?

The people in the Privy Council said, Nima, you also know that we are going to be tried. We are already busy enough. Isn't this aggravating our workload?

Bao Zheng thought, okay, in that case, why not go to the court?

According to the management of the previous dynasty, the Dibao was originally edited and reviewed by the Zou Yuan. It was changed during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and the Zou Yuan just issued copies.

The Privy Council heard that Bao Zheng was beating them, and even shook his head.

Bao Zheng licked his mouth and barely uttered the phrase that he should not **** in the pit.

Renzong propped his chin, "Well, Bao Qing's idea is good, but the Privy Council is indeed..."

Bao Zheng said coldly: "It's not the idea of ​​Weichen, it's actually—Zheng Zhiyuan's nephew's idea."

The others were shocked, thinking that he was going to say that it was Zheng Li's idea. Even Zheng Li himself turned from the state of watching the show to shock, only to hear that he was panting. Everyone can't help looking suspiciously at Zheng Li, Zheng Li's nephew? What does this have to do with the Zheng family?

Even Renzong thought for a while, and then remembered, isn't Yun Yan just Zheng Li's nephew when he returned to that servant. This Yunyan was too careful when he returned, because he said that he had no culture, so he wanted to get a mansion to report it. The idea is good, can the quality work?

Zheng Li had obviously thought of this, and he was speechless.

Bao Zheng, this is pulling people to stand on the spot.

However, Zheng Ling listened to him with gusto. In fact, he thought it was a good idea, so he immediately said, "This kid is not learning and skillful, but he is still devoted to his duties and can do something for Kaifeng Mansion."

Pulling Zheng Li into the water was the beginning. After both sides pulled, the other people also wet their trousers and had to join the war.

Renzong watched silently for a long time, and waited for them to get tired of quarreling, and then said lightly: "Well, in my opinion, this matter is a good thing, so he allowed the Kaifeng Mansion to do it. Since the Privy Council is not available, please ask an old Hanlin to do it for you."

The old Hanlin named Hu by Renzong was known to the Privy Council as a Hanlin bachelor. When he was old, he devoted himself to studying at the Hanlin Academy and took students with him. He was a veteran of the two dynasties. In this way, even if the quality of the newspaper that Yun Yan returned to the editor in chief was not good, Old Hanlin could still watch.

Renzong asked himself, is he good enough for Yun Yan Hui this kid?

With such a dual background, it belongs to the Privy Council, and there is nothing to say. Officials specifically approve, but the people who approve it are qualified and have enough status, and there is no place to provoke them.

Renzong immediately sent Hu Hanlin to tell him about the review of the manuscript. He is a veteran, so he still needs to ask his opinion. If he doesn't want to, he can't force it.

At this time, the Privy Council member said shamelessly that he hadn't seen Zheng Zhiyuan's nephew yet, so he asked to come and have a look?

Everyone is an official, and you can laugh and talk as soon as the quarrel is over.

Zheng Ling smiled twice, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Because of Zheng Ling's relationship, many people think that their two families have been reconciled-but in fact, it has indeed eased a lot.

In that case, let Xuan Yunyan come back in.

After Yun Yan came back in, everyone discovered that Zheng Li's nephew was so young.

"Well, I don't seem to have seen it in the court. Where is the official and what official position?" the Privy Council asked.

Yun Yan saluted the elders back and answered honestly: "Temporary workers came..."

Bao Zheng smoothly added the meaning of a temporary worker next to him, "I hired a small official who has no grade and no grade, and has not participated in the imperial examination."

Everyone: "..."

What's the situation? The juniors of Zheng Ling's family are going to be against the sky, and they have entered the Hanlin Academy of Painting, and they have gone to work as a staff in Kaifeng Mansion.

Renzong smiled slightly: I haven't let everyone know. Not only did he never participate in the imperial examination, but he didn't even read a book. However, people just want to run a newspaper, what's wrong?

Not long after he cared about the junior, Hu Hanlin also came, with a white beard, and he was given a seat when he came.

Renzong told Hu Hanlin about this.

However, Hu Hanlin felt that this old man's time had more important things to do. Such a small newspaper would waste half an hour of my week? Not so good?

Renzong tried his best to facilitate this, because Hu Hanlin admired Bao Zheng very much, so he said that this was what Bao Zheng was striving for. There was also the big smuggling case of An Sujun, which your old man was also very concerned about some time ago, and he was also the one who proposed the idea. The classmates worked hard.

The other people said "Hey" together, because it was Zhao Yunchu, so people who didn't understand the case carefully thought it was Zhao Yunchu's work. Zheng Ling had inquired about it, so he knew it, but he hadn't spread it outside.

"Sure enough, it's a young hero."

"Nephew Uncle Xiao, nephew Uncle Xiao..."

When Zheng Ling heard the latter sentence, a smile appeared on his face. What a pity, this is his nephew, if it is a direct child, how good would it be. Zheng Ling also imagined how he would teach him if he had such a real son or grandson.

As soon as Hu Hanlin heard it, he slowed down a lot, and walked to Yun Yanhui, wanting to take the school entrance examination. Bao Zheng had already seen it.

Hu Hanlin didn’t know Yun Yanhui before, and he just came here. I didn’t know that he hadn’t read for a few years. When he heard that he had gone to the border to handle a smuggling case, he had a good first impression of Di Bao, subconsciously. Feeling talented, because most of the Jinshi candidates who were accepted as officials this year, he asked him, "Why are you studying and becoming an official?"

-This sentence was originally a very common question. There is no new idea at all. Many scholars and officials have asked themselves or have been asked. The simplest and the most difficult to answer.

But when Hu Hanlin asked Yun Yan back, it made the others present feel a little bit cola, and the child didn't even serve as an official. The people of Renzong thought even more that they hadn't read the book for a few days.

Bao Zheng was trying to clarify, and he didn't want Yun Yan to spit out a few words, but he made a loud voice: "Establish a heart for the heaven and the earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the holy, and open peace for all generations."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their expressions changed a little, and then the eyes that looked back at Yun Yan were different, especially Hu Hanlin.

Of course, it does not include Renzong, Bao Zheng and Zheng Li.

Renzong: "..."

Yun Yanhui didn't quote classical Chinese in the official documents. It doesn't mean that he has never studied Chinese in modern times. He didn't use the "Gou Li" sentence last time.

These four sentences are the famous sayings of the great scholar Zhang Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty, but at this time, Zhang Zai should be only fifteen or six years old. Of course, Yun Yan had learned these four sentences "as early as" in modern times.

These four sentences are simple and concise, and the simple explanation is to determine the correct spirit for the world, to educate the people to work hard for their own destiny, and to continue the doctrine for the sages. The last sentence is easy to understand and peace forever.

Later, this became the goal of many scholars, and it was going to flood, but now, it can still make people feel deaf and embarrassed.

Except for Yun Yanhui, one of the people present was a well-educated scholar, who was more immersed in people's livelihood and government affairs, and naturally understood the meaning of the words more deeply.

Hu Hanlin pondered for a long time, exhaled, and nodded, "Very good." He turned around and bowed to Renzong, "For young people so interested, the old minister is willing to review this weekly report for the Privy Council."

He was stunned with a look of us, Da Song, if everyone has such ideals, we don't have to worry about being rich or strong.

Renzong: "..."

Hu Hanlin took over the task and left with relief.

The rest of the people were about to praise Zheng Lin's nephew, and found that Zheng Lin had a dazed expression.

Renzong's heart was full of absurd feelings, but he held a trace of "expectation". After all, there is no rule that illiterate people cannot have big ambitions. He looked at Yun Yan and replied, "You never said that you still have such ambitions?"

Yun Yan bowed his head back and said, "I'm sorry to report back to the official, I, I just brag..."

Everyone: "..."

Renzong held his forehead, "You..."

He was really dizzy, and there was a hint of suspicion just now, so he said, Yun Yan returned to a person who wrote all the documents in the vernacular. If nothing else, can he continue to learn for the holy? It's almost the same after the recipe!

Zheng Li and Bao Zheng were also dumbfounded, their feelings were just to fool old Hu!

However, there is no stipulation in any Da Song law, so you can't brag. If he doesn't admit it, he can still be regarded as lying in front of the emperor, but he admits it, and he is not a lied emperor, what can he do to him?

Yun Yan recalled what Renzong had said, but he was holding back bad!

Renzong gave him a few false fingertips, and didn't say anything in the end, because even if it was bragging, these few words are worth pondering, "You, get out."

Yun Yan smiled back and withdrew. It feels good to run away after loading it.

…

Now the relationship is settled, and then Yun Yan will organize an editing team. Among the six Cao Cao of Kaifeng Mansion, the Shi Cao is the most leisurely, and he always plays with the pen. Therefore, several of the Shi Cao will be selected as editors.

Then, they issued an official document to Chiji County and the various governments, clarifying the matter, and asking them to select the correspondents. They must have a certain level of education, be younger, and have a better mind, and then they will be sent to Kaifeng Prefecture for short-term training.

This is a good job. I can eat and live for free in Kaifeng Mansion for a period of time, and I will have an excuse to come often in the future. In this way, the quota is really robbed.

As for whether they can be competent for the task of correspondent, it is completely out of their consideration.

What's so difficult about writing a Dibao?
