Views:

Mu Meng came to the Hanlin Garden at the agreed time. There was a special place for people to talk in the garden. Mu Meng found it only under the leadership of the administrator. The evaluation of this in his heart is really unique.

"How long have you been here?" Mu Meng entered the house and saw Wan Muqing who had arrived here early. In a polite manner, Mu Meng asked.

"It didn't take long." Wan Mu replied lightly, but his eyes were focused on Mu Meng's every move, but Mu Meng sat down on his own, and didn't mean to look at Wan Muqing at all.

"Didn't we meet today because of the origin of Hanlin Garden? Let's get to the point!"

"Damn, do you want to be so ruthless?" Wan Muqing was a little dumbfounded. Is the woman in front of him his unreliable partner? This must be dreaming.

"I don't think you have a dream, it's just that different things I want to do will naturally be different."

"Okay." Wan Muqing paused for a while and said, "Do you know Fang Xiaoru?"

"You know, Fang Xiaoru, the word Xizhi, the word Xigu, the name Xunzhi, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, scholars, writers, essayists, and thinkers, once named his study "Xunzhi", because his hometown belonged to Yucheng Here, it is called "Mr. Zhencheng"; and because when he was a professor in the Hanzhong House, King Shu Xian gave him the name of "Zhengxue", also known as "Mr. Zhengxue", and later because he refused to start "Jing Nanzhi" The "Yan King Zhu Di" drafted an edict to the throne, involving all of his relatives, friends and students killed more than 870 people, and became the only person in Chinese history who was "punished by the ten people." When Fu Wang, he pursued "Wenzheng". I checked the information out of curiosity and suddenly realized what was wrong, "But what does this have to do with Hanlin Garden? What does it have to do with your family?"

"Fang Xiaoru is my ancestor. He was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty." Wan Muqing was only halfway talking and was interrupted by Mu Meng.

"Wait, but his elder's surname is Fang, and your surname is Wan." Mu dreamed for a moment and said, "And it is said that the earliest surname of Wan originated from Rui Bowan, who was a prince in the Zhou Dynasty. His descendants later took his first name. The ancestor of the other Wan surname was Bi Wan, the descendant of King Zhou Wen, and the descendants of Bi Wan later adopted the ancestor’s name as their surname. There are only two sources, and there is no such third source as you mentioned?"

"Didn't you just say that Fang Xiaoru is the only person in Chinese history who was "punished by the ten"

"Yes, I've been punished, how can it be?"

"Our ancestor was a side branch. At that time, in order to keep the blood of the Fang family, we had to branch off several branches. Our ancestor happened to be sheltered by the Wan family. At that time, in order to survive, we changed it to Wan."

"What does it have to do with the Hanlin Academy?"

"|Our ancestors were sheltered by Wan'an at that time. Because Fang Xiaoru and Wan'an were both from the Hanlin Academy, we have a deep affection for the Hanlin Academy."

"Oh." Mu Meng asked after thinking slightly, "Why isn't Hanlin Garden called Hanlin Garden?"

"The Hanlin Academy was established since the Tang Dynasty. It was initially an institution for people with artistic ability. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Hanlin has been divided into two types, one is the Hanlin Bachelor, who works at the Hanlin Academy, and the other is the Hanlin Academy, which serves The Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy is responsible for drafting edicts, but the Hanlin Academy has no real power. After the late Tang Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy has evolved into an important institution that specializes in drafting confidential edicts, known as the "Private of the Son of Heaven." The incumbent is called the Hanlin official, or Hanlin for short. After the Song Dynasty, it became a formal official position and was in line with the imperial examination. After the Ming Dynasty, it was replaced by the cabinet and others, and became a place for talents. Reading, serving as an imperial examination examiner, etc. The status is noble, and it is a stepping stone to become a senior cabinet minister and even a local official.” Wan Muqing glanced at Mu Meng and said, “Because the Hanlin Academy is the private of the emperor, and here we are. Everyone can be the emperor, and everyone will not feel the distance between the emperor and the minister, so it is called Hanlin Garden."
