Chapter 2556 Rejection
But this kind of thing has a strong storyline, and because the writer is so emotional, anyone who reads it will be infected.
Not only Bai Erlang, but Bai Shan and Zhou Man also like to read this kind of unofficial historical materials, so Bai Shan also stayed in this room with Bai Erlang.
Most of the things in the Hanlin Academy are not confidential. In addition to the current emperor's diary, they can also check the diary of the previous emperor, not to mention that of the previous dynasty.
The only difference is the complexity of the procedures.
Also, the information in the Hanlin Academy cannot be taken out of the Hanlin Academy.
There was no point in copying something like this, so Bai Shan could only say to Man Bao with regret: "I wanted to lend you a volume to relieve your boredom, but I can't get it out. I can repeat it to you."
"Anything special or unusual?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "I saw a scroll that described the mysterious deaths of a family of five in Qi during the previous dynasty. However, there was very little information on it, and it seemed like it was written down based on hearsay. However, the back of the silk scroll contained the results of the local government's investigation and the Ministry of Justice's verdict, so it might be somewhat credible."
Manbao treated it as a bedtime story and enjoyed it very much.
But soon Bai Shan no longer had time to go to that room to look for miscellaneous books to read because he was too busy, and then he was promoted.
He was promoted from the Hanlin Academy and entered the Secretariat, where he continued to organize memorials and draft imperial edicts for the emperor. However, after he was transferred to the Secretariat, the edicts he drafted did not need to be reviewed by the Secretariat again. They could be directly sent to the Ministry of Personnel for review and could be issued after approval.
He had been in the Hanlin Academy for a year, but he was the fastest to be promoted among his peers. After him, some Hanlins were promoted to other departments, but most of them stayed in the Hanlin Academy to continue editing books.
Many people had mixed feelings about Bai Shan's promotion. It was too fast, and this time he was a close minister to the emperor.
Someone couldn't help but hover around Bai Erlang, and after attracting his attention, they asked him, "Little Bai Sir, Bai Sir has been promoted to the Secretariat. It seems that His Majesty values Bai Sir very much."
Bai Erlang nodded and turned a page of the book in his hand. "Your Majesty has always valued him very much."
Ever since they filed the complaint, His Majesty has valued him highly. He had known this for many years.
Seeing that he had no unnecessary expression and looked as if it was a matter of course, the adult who wanted to discuss the deep-seated human nature with him was choked for a while, and then turned around and left without discussing this issue with him.
Bai Erlang looked at a few more pictures. After hearing no one talking for a long time, he raised his head and looked around, only to find that there was no one around him.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and complained, "You left without even telling me..."
Bai Erlang glanced at the hourglass and saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately returned the documents in his hand, tidied up his desk, and put his hands on his knees waiting for the end of the court.
They had agreed to go out for dinner today to celebrate Bai Shan's promotion, and he had to go back to pick up Mingda first...
Bai Erlang stared with his eyes wide open, waiting for the last bit of sand to fall. He immediately stood up and walked out, waving goodbye to his colleagues as he walked, and reminded everyone that the sand in the hourglass had run out and they could leave the yamen and go home.
The person he reminded waved his hand to indicate that he understood and was not in a hurry to go home.
After Bai Erlang left the Hanlin Academy, he ran quickly to the stable to get his horse.
The president of the Hanlin Academy, who was standing behind a pillar in the corridor, watched the whole process. He had no expression on his face, and in fact, he had no expression in his heart, as he really couldn't create one.
The Prince of Hejian, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He and the Dean laughed heartily, "The Prince Consort shouldn't be in your Hanlin Academy, he should be in our Ministry of Rites. He's so well-behaved that even the officials in our Ministry of Rites can't match him."
Li Gong, the Prince of Hejian, who was also the Minister of Rites, had always had some disagreements with Zhou Man, but this disagreement stemmed from a conflict of ideas. He felt that women should not serve as officials in the court. However, he had always been moderate, and since no one thought there was a problem, he did not mention it again and let himself accept this phenomenon.
As for balance, we should always make everyone happy.
The dean said nothing.
Li Gong said, "How about assigning him to me? Last time I asked you for Bai Shan, you said there was no rush. At least wait until he's a full year before transferring him, so that people won't think there's something fishy about his rapid promotion. But the peach I had my eye on was picked by someone else. Now I have my eye on another one. You won't disagree, will you?"
The dean said unhappily, "That's right, I don't agree."
He said, "Your Majesty has placed him here so he can live a leisurely life. If he had ambitions of his own and wanted to make a career, I wouldn't say anything. As a superior, I can't hinder my subordinate's future. But he is very satisfied with his job in the Hanlin Academy, and you have Your Majesty's instructions. If you need someone, don't ask me. Go directly to Your Majesty."
The dean paused and said, "But don't blame me for reminding you. Not only will His Majesty not agree now, he himself probably won't be happy about it either."
As the most influential person in the Hanlin Academy, the dean naturally pays close attention to Bai Erlang.
He knew that he had been enjoying himself in the library recently, and he always completed the tasks assigned to him by his superiors on time, really on time, and always submitted the information at the last minute.
The dean felt that Bai Erlang would not like being transferred to the Ministry of Rites.
Li Gong said nonchalantly, "Our Ministry of Rites is also very relaxed, with good rules, and everyone is very friendly. It's much better than your Hanlin Academy."
Although they are all noble departments, the Hanlin Academy members are ambitious and aiming for the stars and the sea. The country also trains them as reserves for prime ministers.
But the Ministry of Rites is different. It is really deserted. It is basically easy to get in but difficult to get out. If you can't get out, you won't have much real power. Basically, you just deal with various rituals.
The most glorious moment might be when the emperor is replaced, ahem...
Judging from what Bai Erlang did just now, he is obviously a very disciplined person. If that is the case, then their Ministry of Rites is a good fit for him.
The dean glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Minister Li, you can't judge a person by his appearance."
Bai Shan looks very well-behaved, but he thinks he is probably the most unruly one in the Hanlin Academy. They are all newcomers, but he has been late and left early, and he can do it without making a sound. Not long after he came in, he has been able to get his hands on various confidential documents such as the daily records of the previous emperor.
However, the dean did not think that he was clever, but rather curious and naughty. When he arrived at a new place, he could not help but look left and right, and would not stop until he had thoroughly understood the environment.
Bai Erlang was also naughty, but he was timid and without anyone to lead him, so his mischief was limited. After being in here for such a long time, he only wandered around in those few rooms, which was a disgrace to the emperor, his important backer, and also made the dean Bai Bei, who had been treating him as a great enemy, anxious.
