The dream of a scholar is to be a jinshi and the first, and the dream of an official is to enter the cabinet.
This batch of new Hanlin is undoubtedly lucky. Before they can fully understand the grass and trees of the Hanlin Academy, they have to report to the cabinet.
Being able to get up close and personal with the legendary Saisukes, observe their daily office procedures, and see with their own eyes how they are strategizing on national affairs and saving the people from misery and fire, just thinking about it is exciting.
Human nature always admires the strong, and maybe some scholars admire Tao Yuanming and other hermits such as the Bamboo Forest Seven Sages, but for those who want to take the official career, the most ready-made role models are naturally the prime ministers who are in the cabinet today.
But learning also has to have a choice, even if it is like Wan An, people with a little backbone will not want to follow. Although this monarch turned his back and tipped off Liu Jian and the others, thanks to Liu Jian's carefulness, he ran to tell Tang Fan. Tang Fan was extremely cautious and would not let go of any clues, otherwise they would not be able to find the fake prince. Exposing Wantong on the spot, it is still two to say what the situation is now.
So Wan An was sent home by the emperor after the matter was over.
I don't know what the emperor thought. Wan An's position as the first assistant has not been removed. He is still the first assistant in name, but the actual position is represented by Liu Ji. This Liu Mian is also a must, from Chenghua Eleven. It has been 12 years since he entered the cabinet in 2010, and he has been impeached every three or five years, but he is as stable as Mount Tai, and he does not take the initiative to resign. No, even Wan An is staying at home, but he is still a hundred feet ahead. Furthermore, it is really unconvincing that the officialdom can be mixed up to this point.
But this does not mean that Liu Ji is a role model to be admired by others. In the eyes of new imperial officials like Lu Lingxi, the ideal Zaifu would naturally be as eager for justice as Liu Jian, approachable and approachable like Xu Pu, and there are two Human virtues are neither impulsive like Liu Jian nor Tang Fan, who is sometimes too soft-hearted by Xu Pu.
These three people are the idols that the Hanlins want to get in touch with and get close to.
Of course, Lu Lingxi was also included.
With three people missing from the cabinet, and Tang Fan, who has rejoined the cabinet, the remaining four cabinet ministers can finally get a separate room for each of them. This is undoubtedly an additional benefit after the overthrow of Wan Dang. .
There were a total of four people in the new Hanlin who were assigned to the cabinet, and each was assigned to a cabinet minister to help fight. Lu Lingxi was originally assigned to Xu Pu, but he exchanged with others in private and went to Tang Fan's place.
As a result, I came to report excitedly this morning, wanting to surprise Tang Fan, but was thrown a large bowl of cold water on his head.
Tang Fan is not here.
Lu Lingxi waited for a long time, and couldn't help but go to the next door to ask the good man Xu Pu.
"You said Runqing!" Xu Pu was taken aback, "He's on leave today."
Lu Lingxi was dumbfounded.
Xu Pu thought he was worried that he had nothing to do, so he thoughtfully said: "If you want to sort out the official documents with Liu Meng at my place first, Runqing should be on duty tomorrow."
If he refused, he would seem ignorant. Lu Lingxi naturally couldn't brush Xu Pu's good intentions, but he couldn't help worrying: "Xu Xiang knows why Tang Xiang asked for leave?"
Xu Pu said: "It should be sick. He has always been in good health and rarely takes leave."
When Lu Lingxi heard this, he was even more worried.
But fortunately, his ability is good. Even if he is absent-minded, he has done a lot of work all day, and he was praised by Xu Pu along with Liu Meng.
Of course, without Lu Lingxi's understanding, Xu Pu probably just didn't want to hit them, because everyone knows that Xu, the good man, Xiang has never said bad things about anyone.
After leaving the palace in the evening, Lu Lingxi went to the snack shop to buy half a catty of rose cake and half a catty of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then went to Tang's house.
When he went to Tang's house, it was naturally the handmaiden who opened the door for him.
There are three maids in the Tang family. They are responsible for cooking, cooking, and cleaning the house. They are the ones who don't serve closely. Moreover, Lu Lingxi found that they all have a very distinctive feature, that is, they all look extremely ordinary and have nothing at all. The characteristics can be said, and there is even one of the five big and three thick, and I almost thought it was a man just by looking at the back.
It's really... so eye-catching.
When Lu Lingxi was at home, the maids who served on the left and right did not say that she looked like a fairy, at least she had clear eyes, but looking at the Tang family... He silently swallowed a mouthful of blood every time he looked at it.
He heard that the Tang family used to be from a scholarly family for generations, but it was only later that the family fell out of the way. It stands to reason that Big Brother Tang's taste should not be so strange.
Lu Lingxi was puzzled.
But it's never his turn to point fingers at other people's family affairs, and Lu Lingxi doesn't want any of his actions to attract Tang Fan's displeasure. He carefully maintains this new-born relationship, for fear of being destroyed by any inadvertent actions.
Today is a little different.
As soon as the door of Tang's house opened, Lu Lingxi felt that his eyes were instantly lit up.
The national color is drunk in the morning, and the clothes are dyed in the day and night.
If you don't meet at the top of the jade mountain, you will meet under the moon on Yaotai.
All the words that can describe the beauty in front of him poured out like a tide in his mind, but even a talented poet is still a little lacking. Such a beauty should be difficult to describe and describe, whether it is in words or images. , is not as shocking as seeing a real person.
But unfortunately, he recognized this beauty.
Not only recognized, but also very familiar.
"Xiao Wu??" Lu Lingxi was shocked and almost didn't jump up. "How will you be here!"
Xiao Wu smiled but not smiled: "Why can't I be here, anyway, I will help you in such a big case in Suzhou. Don't you feel a little joy when you see your old friend?"
If it was changed before, seeing such a beauty, Lu Lingxi might have been heartbroken.
In other words, there are very few people who can not be moved by such a beautiful beauty like Xiao Wu.
But now his heart is immediately vigilant: "When did you and Big Brother Tang get to know this?"
Xiao Wu turned to let him in, and said, "I passed by the capital and came over to visit Master Tang, why, if you can come, can't I come?"
Although the beauty is beautiful, she has thorns. What's more, Lu Lingxi knew her identity and origin when she was in Suzhou. Except that she would be fascinated by the face when she saw it suddenly, she had no reverie at all.
Lu Lingxi didn't even consciously compare her with Tang Fan, but suddenly felt that even the comparison would blaspheme Tang Fan—
Before he knew it, Lu Lingxi had already suffered from one-way lovesickness, and in his eyes, there was nothing wrong with Tang Fan.
Lu Lingxi didn't know that Xiao Wu had been absorbed into Jinyiwei. The latter was originally stationed in the south. Because of a mission in the past few days, she had to return to the capital to report to the Beizhen Fusi, so she would appear here, and she was not here. It's just a courtesy visit, and I'll be leaving soon, but Xiao Wu is happy to see Lu Lingxi's aggrieved look of wanting to ask but not daring to ask, and naturally she won't explain too much to the other party.
She took Lu Lingxi to the door of Tang Fan's bedroom: "Go in by yourself."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Lingxi to ask questions, he turned around and left, swaying and charming.
Lu Lingxi glanced at her back, but he didn't appreciate the beauty's leisurely mood. He took a deep breath and wanted to raise his hand to knock on the door, but he was afraid of disturbing Tang Fan's sleep. Stepping lightly, he walked into the inner room from the outside.
Unexpectedly, Tang Fan wasn't sleeping, and he didn't notice Lu Lingxi's arrival. He was still lying on the bed with a stack of paper under him, as if he was writing something.
Seeing that he was writing and writing quickly, even when he was sick in bed, he didn't forget to handle official duties, and Lu Lingxi was immediately awe-inspiring.
For fear of disturbing Tang Fan's thoughts, he didn't even dare to breathe, he just stood by and watched for a while, until his feet felt a little sore and numb, and he couldn't help but move.
It happened that Tang Fan also put down his pen and planned to rub his neck, when he looked up, he saw Lu Lingxi.
But his first reaction was not to say hello to Lu Lingxi, but as if he subconsciously wanted to cover up what he was writing.
As a result, when he stretched out his hand, he felt that the performance was too obvious, so he had to stop embarrassingly and smiled awkwardly at Lu Lingxi.
"You're here? Sit, sit!"
Seeing his actions, Lu Lingxi became curious.
"Brother Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang Fan coughed lightly: "It's nothing, just write."
He propped up his elbows and wanted to turn over, as if he didn't have a good grasp of his strength, and his brows twitched.
Lu Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward to help each other: "Brother Tang, what's wrong, what did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said," Tang Fan coughed again, "his waist flashed."
Lu Lingxi was startled: "That's serious enough that you can't even go down to the ground?"
Tang Fan grinned: "It's not really, it's just that there's been a lot of work in the cabinet recently. I don't go back until midnight every night. I'm also a little tired, so I just took the opportunity to take a day off."
Lu Lingxi remembered the surprise he had planned to give him, and said with a smile, "Brother Tang won't be tired in the future!"
Tang Fan raised his eyebrows: "Huh? How do you say it?"
Lu Lingxi smiled brightly: "The Hanlin Academy has a new cabinet of four to fight against the old man, I am one of them, and I happened to be assigned to you, Brother Tang. I will trouble you to give me more pointers in the future, but I can do anything if I have an order. !"
Tang Fan was a little surprised, and immediately showed an admiring smile, saying two good words in a row, looking very happy.
He had known for a long time that Lu Lingxi would be successful sooner or later, but when he first met, the youthful spirit of the other party had not yet faded, and his actions were hard to hide.
Lu Lingxi stared at the other party's smiling face with a bit of fascination. After a while, he heard Tang Fan say "what are you carrying?", he realized that his behavior was a bit rude, and hurriedly put the cardboard box on the table.
"This is rose cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I heard you like sweets... Huh?"
As he was talking, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the manuscript paper that Tang Fan had moved to the side, a few lines of words caught his eye, and his attention was immediately drawn to it.
"This is... the later draft of "The Chronicles of the Warring States"?" Lu Lingxi was a little unbelievable when he saw several familiar names above. "Brother Tang, you, could it be that you are the author of "The Chronicles of the Warring States"?!"
Tang Fan touched his nose with a little embarrassment on his face, neither admitting nor denying it.
But there is no need to admit that, just by looking at his expression, Lu Lingxi already knows the answer.
But the answer is really shocking.
"The Chronicles of the Warring States" is a newly popular book in the bookstore, and it is also the best-selling book. The plot is ups and downs, and it is fascinating. It is very popular if there is a wind and moon, and a story with a story. Naturally, those sour readers will always sneer, but This does not prevent many people from buying them and going home to have a look. Even the storytelling in the recent teahouse is mostly "Warring States Records".
Because this book is published by volume, many people are eager to see the plot after reading the first volume, so there are many follow-ups to the "Warring States" that imitate the fake author "Mr. Sanqing" on the market.
Many people are also very curious about the author of the book, but generally those who write and sell books are those poor literati. Because of their financial constraints, they have to rely on pen money to make ends meet. Lu Lingxi naturally heard that some scholars and officials are also private. They secretly wrote books under pseudonyms, but the identities of those people were never revealed, so no one knew the truth.
But now, there is one alive in front of him.
The elder of the cabinet, when he was in the court of Saisuke, he took a vacation to write a script at home.
And the writing is quite successful, no, even Lu Lingxi can't put it down in his spare time.
But the connection between the two is unbelievable.
The author of the book that you like to read/the legendary down-and-out literati/Mr. Sanqing = Tang Fan, a scholar of Dongge University and Minister of Punishment
Lu Lingxi felt a little dazed.
