Chapter 620: Compiling the History of the State, You Really Think High of Me
In fact, the system has already updated the partial map of the entire palace, and what the Imperial Academy said is similar to what Mu Yuan said. However, Jiang Youzhen has a good memory, and she has already memorized the places Mu Yuan pointed out.
She was still not used to looking at maps, but was used to memorizing them in her mind.
"Master Jiang, we have already been naturalized today, so let's go and report to the Bachelor first!"
Officials of the Great Yun Dynasty all arrived at the yamen to report at the beginning of the morning, and were dismissed at the end of the afternoon. Officials of the fourth rank and above also had to attend the court. The morning court was divided into small and large court meetings. The small court meeting was held every day, but it did not last long, usually about half an hour, and then they returned to the yamen to work.
Of course, if there is something important to discuss, it will take more than half an hour.
The grand court meetings were held on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and during major and minor festivals, these meetings would be delayed.
Jiang Youzhen has lamented countless times that the emperor of the Dayun Dynasty was simply a model worker. He went to court at 6 o'clock every day, so he had to get up at 5 o'clock? After all, the procedures after getting up were so complicated, and those ministers had to get up before 5 o'clock.
Some people who live far away have to spend a lot of time commuting. Anyway, it is not easy to be an official.
She was extremely grateful that she had a house in South City. It only took about half an hour by carriage, otherwise she would have to get up even earlier.
While her thoughts were wandering, they arrived at the study of Qian Songyun, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, although he was under pressure from Lin Juhui, the middle-level Grand Secretary and Chief Minister, as well as the six ministers and grand secretaries at all levels, he was in charge of all tasks in the Hanlin Academy and had a say.
Because the seven grand secretaries usually had little time to come to the Hanlin Academy, they usually worked in Wenyuan Pavilion and their own offices. The orders issued by the court had to be carried out by someone, so Qian Songyun took care of these trivial matters.
"We're here. Lord Qian likes to use Lianshan Spring water to make tea when he's on duty, so the first cup of tea he gets up in the morning must be made with spring water. Now is just the right time."
Mu Yuan revealed an important piece of information to Jiang Youzhen, that is, Qian Songyun's preference is to use Lianshan mountain spring water to make tea.
However, Jiang Youzhen had already had a comprehensive understanding of Qian Songyun's preferences before. As her immediate superior, she naturally had to understand her superiors' preferences and taboos.
Not only did she know that Qian Songyun liked to use Lianshan spring water to make tea, she also knew that his favorite tea was Dahongpao.
Therefore, the system's reward of Da Hong Pao just now was a timely help. She couldn't help but suspect that the system rewarded her according to her needs. Anyway, wouldn't the Da Hong Pao come in handy?
Qian Songyun's habit when entering the Hanlin Academy every day is to make a pot of Dahongpao or green tea first. He will change the taste, but Lianshan mountain spring is indispensable.
Before this, he was not ready, and if Jiang Youzhen rashly went in, it would inevitably make others unhappy.
However, there is a rumor that his servants went up the mountain to fetch water before dawn and then returned it non-stop. Lianshan is far away from the imperial city, and even if you gallop, it will take an hour.
You mean you can just take a little more at once and drink it over a few days? That's impossible. This person is very picky and won't drink overnight rootless water. He can tell if it's freshly taken or not just by drinking it.
Jiang Youzhen had previously lamented this man's extravagance. He was just a fifth-rank official, but he was so difficult to serve.
However, apart from this incident, Qian Songyun seems to have no other bad habits, and does not appear to be extravagant or wasteful in his daily life.
Just because of this incident, he was reported by the censors of the Inspectorate, saying that he was arrogant and extravagant, and bullied the people.
Of course, it is completely nonsense to convict him based on this alone. He is a scholar in a low-income government office. Apart from being a close minister of the emperor and enjoying the emperor's favor, he has no benefits at all.
Cabinet officials participated in decision-making, but he had no say because the decisions were made by seven other cabinet scholars, so no one would bribe him.
Qian Songyun! Jiang Youzhen knew that he was a relative of Qian Chongen. Qian Chongen wanted to take him as a disciple, but he was plotted against by the deposed prince's family and almost became disabled.
When Qian Chongen received Qian Songyun's letter, he tried his best to win her over and take her as his disciple. His purpose was very impure.
Thinking of Qian Chongen, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but sigh. After all, they were not destined to be together and there was no master-disciple relationship between them.
If the ceremony had been completed, then this status would have been established. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on her, and later she repeatedly mentioned it, but Qian Chongen refused to agree.
Jiang Youzhen knew that he didn't want to implicate her, but what happened later eventually faded their feelings. Now that Qian Chongen is a professor at the prefectural school, he has a good home, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of their feelings!
Thinking of this, Jiang Youzhen realized that he still owed the Second Prince a favor! I hope he won't remember it!
"Then please trouble Mu Daizhao to go in and report it."
"Please wait a moment! I'll go and tell Huang Kongmu inside that he has been taking care of Lord Qian's affairs." Mu Yuan said as he walked in.
Jiang Youzhen straightened his official uniform and his official hat.
A moment later, Mu Yuan came to report that Lord Qian asked her to come in.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen entered, he bowed and saluted, saying, "I am Jiang Youzhen, the newly promoted editor of the Hanlin Academy. I am honored to meet you, Mr. Scholar."
She looked straight ahead, had an upright posture and elegant manners. In Qian Songyun's eyes, she was outstanding and had the feeling of a talented scholar in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Just his appearance and bearing were enough to impress people. Not to mention his brilliant writing skills and extraordinary strategies, no wonder the cousin insisted on taking him as his disciple.
It's a pity that Qian Chongen himself has no ability and can't keep it. He is also stupid. In this case, why not recommend Jiang Youzhen to invest in his name? What a waste of an opportunity.
Now that Jiang Youzhen has entered officialdom, it is not appropriate to mention this matter anymore.
Originally, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Youzhen, but the Fourth Prince asked him to take good care of him, so he didn't want to make things difficult.
"No need to be so polite! I've heard that the number one scholar is extremely talented and handsome, and now that I see him today, it's true!"
Jiang Youzhen then straightened up and said, "Your Excellency, thank you for your praise. It's all just empty praise!"
"Don't be too modest. I heard that you fell off a horse some time ago. Are you well now?"
"Yes! I have recovered. Thank you for your concern."
Qian Songyun thought, since he has already entered the Hanlin Academy, he will first see what Jiang Youzhen's abilities are.
"Since last year, the emperor has ordered the compilation of the "History of the Great Universiade", "Records of the Great Universiade" and "Ceremony of the Great Universiade". Due to the lack of historical books and classics from the previous dynasties, some of them need to be supplemented and written, so the task is heavy."
Jiang Youzhen: ...It takes years to compile just one book, right? Now I have something to do.
"How about this! It just so happens that the Zhuangyuan Hall is compiling the "Dayun Convention", which is a collection of the rules and regulations of this dynasty. They have just started with the first volume, but they are already compiling volume one. You can start with the Ministry of Personnel! It is divided into several volumes, and you can draft a set of regulations first."
Jiang Youzhen was stunned. You really think highly of me.
