Chapter 2882 No Fabrication
Zhou Liwei also felt that he had taken advantage, so he gathered all his brothers and sisters together, bought them a pot of wine with his own money, and boasted: "You keep working hard, I'm going to go hang out with my aunt."
Everyone was envious and jealous, so they forced him to go to Zhuangyuanlou and insisted that he treat them to a good meal.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned home feeling full. Bai Erlang happened to be their guest, so they went over to greet him.
Bai Erlang said, "I met with Dean Xiao. He said that the Imperial Medical Bureau has already selected Wen Tiandong, who also happens to be Zhou Man's student. He can set off as soon as he is ready."
When Qian heard this, she immediately said, "Why don't we choose a date and go together with Li Wei? We'll have someone to look after us along the way."
Bai Erlang smiled and said, "You can ask Wen Tiandong later."
"It hadn't been decided before because there were so many people vying for this position within the Imperial Medical Bureau," Bai Erlang said. "Although my initial rank as Zhou Man's assistant won't be as high as that of other students who directly received local office orders, having Zhou Man's guidance is truly meaningful."
So several people who had originally decided to work as medical assistants in the Imperial Hospital started competing for the position, and in the end Wen Tiandong won the position.
Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru also knew about this, especially Zhou Liru. She also submitted an application report, but unfortunately it was not approved.
Because she has been with her aunt for the past few years, the Imperial Medical Bureau does not want her to continue to follow her aunt.
Therefore, the Imperial Medical Bureau had been unable to decide on a candidate and had kept it a secret from the students. She asked, "When did you decide on Wen Tiandong?"
"Yesterday," Bai Erlang said, "It should be announced this afternoon."
Old Zhou turned around and asked Zhou Liru, "How is Mr. Wen's medical skills? Is he capable? Will he hinder your aunt?"
"No," Zhou Liru said, "He's a student in the Department of Physical Therapy, and his grades have always been good. He also participated in the Eastern Expedition and made many contributions, so he was selected to serve as a medical assistant in the Imperial Hospital. Originally, our batch of people could be promoted to imperial physicians after serving as medical assistants for two years."
"He went to the provincial level, which means he chose a different path. In the future, he should follow the same promotion path as the eldest brother and the others."
Zheng Gu, Zheng Shao, and Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru, who went directly to the Imperial Hospital, had to take different paths.
Bai Erlang glanced at the sky outside, stood up and said, "I have to go back. I have to go to the palace soon. Let me know when you leave. I have something to take to Bai Shan and Zhou Man."
Zhou Liwei immediately agreed.
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help shaking his head when he saw him slip away so quickly.
Madam Liu couldn't help but ask, "Did this child get into trouble in the palace?"
"No," Mr. Zhuang said with a smile, "he was just caught writing in the Hanlin Academy by the inspecting emperor."
From that day on, Bai Erlang avoided him, obviously afraid of being scolded by him.
It was actually an accident. Most people in the Hanlin Academy knew that Bai Erlang was writing a storybook, and he himself had already written a successful storybook.
Xiang Mingxue's biography was written by Bai Erlang. Everyone in the Hanlin Academy had read it, even the emperor had secretly read it.
After he entered the Hanlin Academy, he mostly did some work such as searching for information and compiling and filling in gaps. Everyone in the Hanlin Academy knew that he had no ambitions and would probably spend his retirement in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of his life, so the work his superiors gave him was not heavy.
At first he wrote storybooks secretly in the Hanlin Academy, but after returning from Liaodong he was promoted!
I moved to a new office. Although it is small, it is an independent space.
So he let himself go. Since many tasks in the Hanlin Academy did not require time, and the tasks assigned to him were not urgent, he put them aside and would do them again after accumulating a certain amount, and then concentrate on writing his own book.
When I was so excited about writing, I inevitably forgot about time and the surrounding environment.
The Hanlin Academy was the place where the emperor stored his prime ministers and was also an important place for compiling history and writing articles. The emperor would occasionally come to take a look.
The emperor was in a very good mood that day, so he went to the Hanlin Academy to inspect the work.
He came quietly, so the Hanlin Academy was not prepared, but most people still rushed forward to show their appreciation when the emperor arrived.
When there are too many people, it becomes apparent that someone is absent.
Mingda is the emperor's favorite daughter. Since she is here, she must go to see Bai Erlang. He sees him quite often anyway, and he doesn't think Bai Erlang will be nervous or embarrassed, so he goes straight to see him.
The Hanlin scholars naturally followed the emperor, so they saw Bai Erlang holding a pen and writing with a ferocious look on his face.
The ferocious look made the emperor stop in his tracks. He wanted to know what he was writing, so he quietly went forward to take a look.
I was captivated by this one look.
In the end, Bai Erlang's manuscripts were confiscated by the emperor. All of them were confiscated, and no one knew what he wrote. However, Bai Erlang instantly became famous in the palace and the court. For the past two days, he avoided people when walking, and he didn't even dare to meet Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and didn't force him. He thought that as a child, he would be fine after two or three days of being uncomfortable.
Bai Erlang ran off, but instead of running back home, he went to find Yin Huo and asked him, "Have you figured out how to get my manuscript back from His Majesty?"
Yin Huo asked casually, "Have you asked His Majesty for it?"
Bai Erlang sighed, "No, I went to the Taiji Hall today and took a look around, but I didn't dare to go in."
The emperor was not only his father-in-law, but also his immediate superior. It was wrong for him to do private work by writing biographies in the Hanlin Academy.
This made Bai Erlang feel unjustified and he didn't dare to speak to the emperor.
Yin Huo thought of the manuscript he had reviewed before and smiled slightly, saying, "Then just wait. Once His Majesty has finished reading it, he will ask for the next manuscript. When that happens, you can ask again and the manuscript will naturally be returned to you."
"...I was planning to send a copy to Bai Shanzhou and the others, but how long will it take His Majesty to finish reading it?" Bai Erlang asked, "And what if he finishes and doesn't ask me for the next copy?"
"He will ask, but," Yin Huo tilted his head, "time is indeed a problem. There is another way. Let the princess go and get it back."
This is not a big deal. If Princess Mingda asks for it, the emperor will definitely return it to them, but it is not certain how much.
Yin Huo asked curiously, "Where have you written so far?"
Bai Erlang said gloomily, "We were writing about the part where Bai Shan and his men entered the city to trick the gates into opening. It was getting exciting, but then a fight broke out between the two sides. Oh, why did His Majesty come to our Hanlin Academy?"
Yin Huo recalled the scenes he had heard Bai Shan and Zhou Man describe, and had a bad feeling. "How did you write it? I mean, did you make up a lot?"
Bai Jilang glared. "Am I such a fabricator? I just described the enemy's psychology and surprise a little more. The rest is all true to life. There is no fabrication."
Yin Huo sighed, "Fortunately, the Hanlin Academy didn't ask you to compile history, otherwise it would have been a mistake for future generations."
Bai Jilang insisted: "I was just making a reasonable guess about each person's psychology, and the purpose of writing a book is to be fascinating and easy to understand. The books I read since I was a child were all described in this way."
