Bai Shan is still a small Hanlin now. Although he can see all the bosses in front of the emperor every day, the number of times he sees the emperor is more than Zhou Man, but because of the special position, he can't speak.
After much calculation, I found that Zhou Man was the most suitable one.
Regardless of location or status.
but…
Man Bao blinked, "It's been a long time since I saw Bai Er. By the way, has he gone to wait for an official?"
The room was quiet, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at Bai Dalang together.
Bai Dalang said depressedly: "No, I thought you taught him, why, didn't you let him avoid the limelight?"
This year, the Bai family's double Jinshi is very eye-catching, especially Bai Erlang is still the son-in-law, which is even more eye-catching.
After the official examination, I don't know how many people stared at their house. Bai Erlang never went to wait for the official. He thought it was Bai Shan and Zhou Man who taught them.
After all, it's better to be quiet than to move at this time, and the emperor must have made arrangements.
Otherwise, the two brothers rushed to wait for the official, and they seemed a little eager in people's eyes.
And Bai Dalang has been waiting for half a month and has not waited for the official position, which shows the attitude of the superior.
Obviously, the second brother wanted to stay in the capital, so he couldn't stay in the capital anymore, one of the two brothers had to go out, this was to avoid suspicion.
Bai Dalang's eyes fell on Bai Shan and Zhou Man who were facing him. He didn't see that after Bai Shan became an official, Zhou Man stayed in the pure technical department - Imperial Hospital and Qinggui department - Chongwen Museum.
Avoid the Tai Medical Administration, one of the current powerful departments.
Otherwise, Bai Shan would have to stay in the Imperial Academy to study for the rest of his life.
Bai Shan said depressedly: "I told him to wait for the vacancy in two days, but I didn't tell him not to go until now."
Man Bao said: "Could it be that he forgot?"
Master Bai became anxious, "How can you forget such an important thing?"
He looked at the sky outside, and there was still afterglow in the sky, so he wanted to go to the princess mansion to ask, but Bai Dalang quickly stopped him and said: "Father, don't worry, just ask tomorrow, I won't be able to say a few words now It's curfew."
But Master Bai couldn't wait, the reason why he waited here and didn't return to his hometown was because he wanted to see his two sons get official positions, which related to their future.
So he went as he said.
Bai Erlang almost forgot about it, he had a great time playing outside with Mingda recently, if his father hadn't come to the door, he probably would have a while to remember it.
Facing his father, he felt a little guilty, so he forced himself to calm down and said, "Father, I'm not in a hurry to choose an official. Your Majesty has it all. By the way, brother, is he waiting for an official today?"
"No," Master Bai was a little depressed, he glanced at Bai Erlang, and said bitterly: "Even if there is a princess and Your Majesty, you can't be so negligent. It's been half a month, and it's enough to wait and see what happens. , you hurry to wait for the official tomorrow."
This is a matter on his mind and must be resolved as soon as possible.
"You have to choose carefully and try to stay in the capital as much as possible. It would be even better if you can enter the Imperial Academy."
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely not be able to enter the Imperial Academy," Bai Erlang said, "Do you think I am someone who can edit history books?"
The Hanlin Academy is mainly for compiling books, the most important of which is compiling history books.
Master Bai thought for a while, and felt that that would be too misleading, so he changed his mind and said, "You can also go to the Sixth Department. By the way, you are good at counting, so go to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Rich and decent.
Bai Erlang's eyes brightened slightly, and he also felt that the idea was good, "If there are still vacancies in the household department, we can give it a try."
At this time, the emperor was also talking to the queen about Bai Erlang's vacancy.
He lifted his feet from the wooden basin and asked Gu Zhong to dry them. Without putting on his shoes, he directly carried them onto the bed, and said to the queen beside him, "I don't know what Bai Er is doing recently. The officials have not confiscated them until now." When it comes to his application for vacancies, doesn't he plan to wait for an official this year?"
He asked, "Did Mingda say why?"
Although Mingda is married, she still has to go to the palace to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month. This is fixed, but what is not fixed is that she will go to the palace to see the empress every now and then.
The emperor thought about it seriously, when was the last time he saw Mingda
Oh, twelve days ago.
The emperor frowned slightly, and asked a new question, "Did Mingda not enter the palace for a long time?"
The queen smiled and said: "She sent someone in to say that she is now taking over the Huangzhuang personally, and there are many things to do."
"This kind of thing has to be done by the stewards below. She can order whatever she wants. Why do she have to do it herself?"
The queen felt that it was better for the child to have something to do than to be bored at home all the time. Otherwise, what is the difference from before marriage
However, she did not stop the emperor from caring for his daughter, and said with a smile, "You can tell her when she enters the palace again."
How can the emperor speak wisely
The main reason is that he will definitely not be able to beat her.
The emperor angered Bai Erlang: "Why doesn't he go to the Ministry of Officials to select officials?"
He guessed Bai Er's thoughts with sinister intentions, "Could it be that he wants others to take up all the good positions, leaving only the external positions, and then he can take our Mingda out?"
Queen: ...
She could only comfort him, "Your Majesty is thinking too much, do you think Bai Er is someone who likes to endure hardship and is determined to be an official?"
Bai Erlang is really not very enthusiastic about his official career, although he doesn't admit it, but when the emperor chose Bai Er, one of them was that he didn't ask Mingda for his future and status.
The emperor snorted twice, and simply called Gu Zhong loudly, and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, let people go out of the palace to go to the princess mansion, and let the son-in-law go to the Ministry of Officials to select officials."
Gu Zhong responded with a smile, bowed and retreated.
The next day, when Bai Erlang was still sleeping late, the people from the palace arrived.
He stood up in a daze, and it took him a while to react, then turned to look at Mingda who was also sleepy.
I had to get up to entertain the servant sent by my father-in-law.
Sending people away, he looked incomprehensible, "With so many people, it usually takes about two months to select officials. This is only half a month. What's the rush?"
It takes a long time to select officials, but who doesn't go to the Ministry of Officials to fill out the form and apply after they pass the examination in the Ministry of Officials
Bai Erlang said: "I chose paper one to take the exam."
The most comprehensive exam paper is equivalent to going to any department. Although the grades are very average, it is still passed, right
He finally became a little nervous now, "What official position do you think His Majesty will give me?"
He never thought that he had to rely entirely on his own ability to select officials. Before that, the emperor had explicitly hinted to him more than once in family banquets that he was not allowed to take Mingda outside.
Therefore, the emperor must have arranged for him long ago, how could he do it exactly as he wanted
But his current intention is to stay in the capital.
When they arrived at the Ministry of Officials, everyone looked at the newcomer Bai Erlang. This is really a newcomer in the actual sense.
It was the first time he came to select officials, the first time he came to submit an application, and even the little official who asked him to fill out the form couldn't help but look at him twice.
Unless there are other things, such as serious illness, filial piety, etc., Bai Erlang is the first person who passed the examination of the Ministry of Officials back then, and it took so long to choose an official under other circumstances.
