The crown prince Zhan is abbreviated as Gong Zhan.

The arrival of the two new Gong Zhan is of course a major event for the Hanlin Academy, and it has its own welcome.

All the officials in the palace fang in the Hanlin Courtyard have to go to greet them.

In the bachelor's room, Xu Xianqing, a bachelor of the school, took a break from his busy schedule and wrote on his own desk.

Xu Xianqing and Han Shineng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, were both famous painters in the Hanlin Academy.

It’s just that Xu Xianqing likes to draw on his own, and Han Shi likes to appreciate it. Both of them have their own strengths.

The servant knew that this was a habit that the master had when he was happy, so he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Why are you so happy?"

Xu Xianqing smiled and said, "Zhao Lanxi is my old friend, and he is happy to return to Hanlin Academy. As for Bachelor Lin..."

The servant knew Xu Xianqing's intentions and asked immediately: "Is the master worried that Mr. Lin would compete for the throne with the master when he returned to the Hanlin Academy?"

Xu Xianqing said: "I don't worry about fighting for the throne. He is not in the Hanlin Academy. He is just worried that when officials of the Ministry of Rites are vacant, he will have someone with me who will go up and down..."

The servant said, "Master, even if you keep your heart in your stomach, no one can compete with you now."

Xu Xianqing knew that he had some skills, not only could he know the words and write, but he had followed him for more than ten years and was also well aware of the storytelling in the court.

The man said, "Master, Zhao Lanxi is old and I don't know how many years he can live, so it's not worth worrying."

"It is even more impossible for Lin Sanyuan. As Chu Duan, he will be the prince's master in the future. Although he has a long-term future, he will only be promoted to Secretary of the Warrior or Prince's guest if he wants to be promoted, and will not go to the Ministry of Rites."

Xu Xianqing smiled and said, "Staff Secretary Zhan and the Prince Guest are also third-rank officials, and they are the real masters of the Eastern Palace. It seems that they are not worth mentioning when you say it."

The servant smiled and said, "Master, this person is noble, but apart from teaching the prince, he has no real power. Besides, the prince will take many years to stand out. To be honest, it is hard to say whether the emperor will depose the prince in the future, and it is hard to say whether the emperor will change to the establishment of other wise kings. No one can tell what will happen in the future."

Xu Xianqing smiled and said, "You are right, but the errands in the East Palace are not suitable for me. After all, I am old and can't wait. But Lin Sanyuan can endure it slowly, and he will have a day to make a comeback in the future."

The servant smiled and said, "Yes, Master, there is another thing that is the prince's master. When His Majesty is in power, it will be of great use. In this way, we cannot argue with the master."

Xu Xianqing nodded and said, "If it is the best you said, I will take advantage of my current health and be a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and rank in the third rank. Not only will I shine my ancestors, but I can also make some achievements in the officialdom. As for further joining the cabinet and becoming the prime minister, I don't want to ask for it."

The servant said, "The master is too concerned about himself. The fortune teller doesn't mean that the master will have ten years of late luck, and it's no problem to become the prime minister at that time."

Xu Xianqing smiled and said, "The wealth and honor of a person is determined. Wherever he should go, he cannot force him. I won't say much, it's almost the same for all the officials to come to visit. You can clean up here and I'll go to meet Mr. Lin and Zhao Lanxi. By the way, I'll finish painting when I come back."

Xu Xianqing followed the advice of his servants. He also thought that Lin Yanchao was appointed as the young minister of the Zhanshi Mansion by the emperor, in order to prepare for Huang Yuanzi's study.

Similarly, in the Hanlin Academy, and many other officials have the same ideas as Xu Xianqing.

As for Lin Yanchao's return to Hanlin Academy this time, some people are happy and some are worried.

Of course, the ones I like are Fang Congzhe, Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Zongdao, Sun Jigao, and the ones I worry about are Ji Daotong and others.

After the officials gave the ceremony, the officials prepared a banquet in the hall.

This time, two scholars of Yu Shenxing, who were also a member of the Ministry of Rites, did not come to congratulate him. It was probably because of the misreport from Wu Dynasty that he was being scolded by Shen Shixing.

The Cabinet Grand Secretary did not come either.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao was promoted to Shao Zhan this time, which was a bit deserted on the show than when he returned to Hanlin Academy to serve as a bachelor's degree last time.

There was still a lot of people sitting at a table with ten people, so I called several other lecturers and historians to make up the numbers.

Now the question is, how do you arrange this seat?

The Zhan Shi Mansion's responsibilities are like this: one person with the third rank of Zhan Shi, and two persons with the fourth rank of Zhan Shi.

Xu Xianqing's original official title was the Young Master Secretary. Now Zhao Zhigao and Lin Yanchao have been promoted to Young Master Secretary. So there are not three Young Master Secretary in the Zhanshu Mansion.

But this is no problem, because the young secretary is only given the title.

Just like Shen Shixing was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but his official title was the Minister of Personnel.

Officials mainly look at errands.

For example, Lin Yanchao is now in charge of the Zhan Shi Mansion.

Xu Xianqing is in charge of the Hanlin Academy.

Zhao Zhigao was a teacher of Shujishi.

So who is the leader when the three of them are together?

According to the strict officialdom and the Confucian etiquette system, there is always a way to divide the size of anyone.

According to the rules of the Hanlin Academy, the first in charge of the court affairs, the second in charge of the government affairs, and the third in the rest.

There is no way, Lin Yanchao has always been the second son in the officialdom.

So everyone didn't refuse and just sat down with the highest position. Lin Yanchao still swears the next seat.

As for the wine and food, it was called the top-quality noodles from the restaurant outside the Hanlin Courtyard. There were six major dishes, four middle dishes, and eight plates of cold dishes, which were very rich.

After everyone sat down, they greeted each other again.

Zhao Zhigao and Xu Xianqing were both Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. They had known each other in the Hanlin Academy for a long time in the same year, so there was no need to say hello.

Lin Yanchao and Zhao Zhigao were not very familiar with each other. They turned out to be a few times in a hurry, but now they sat down and looked carefully, but they didn't expect that the other party would be so old.

Zhao Zhigao was born in Jiajing in the third year and is already sixty-four years old this year, nine years older than Shen Shixing.

In ancient times, the average age was in his thirties and it was easy to look old. Shen Shixing's age was equivalent to the current elderly people over 70 years old. However, Shen Shixing was well maintained on weekdays, so it was not very old.

And what about Zhao Zhigao?

He passed the Jinshi at the age of fifty and then entered the Hanlin Academy. He offended Zhang Juzheng and was driven to Jiezhou, Shanxi to become a magistrate. He was wasted decades of time and the ups and downs of his career wrote this vicissitudes into the deep wrinkles on Zhao Zhigao's forehead.

Now Zhao Zhigao's hair and beard are white, and several of his teeth have fallen off. If anyone says that Zhao Zhigao is 80 years old, he will believe it.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but speculate with malicious intentions that Zhao Zhigao would not have come to Hanlin Academy this time, with the feeling of earning one day by one.

However, thinking so in my heart, Lin Yanchao still greeted Zhao Zhigao respectfully.

Although the two have the same official positions, they are Hanlin seniors after all, and their qualifications are there.

Zhao Zhigao nodded slightly and said with a lucky answer.

An official intended to get close to Zhao Zhigaola, so he asked with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhao has served as an official in Shanxi? The lower officials are also from Shanxi."

Zhao Zhigao heard this and said, "Shaanxi? I ​​have never been to Shaanxi to serve as an official, but I remember that the original Ma Ge Lao was from Shaanxi..."

Zhao Zhigao misled the other party’s words about Shanxi as Shaanxi, and made a call with a wrong word.

The officials were not able to correct it, so they held back and listened for a while, and could only smile in their stomachs.

During the meal, the officials spoke, and Zhao Zhigao continued to hear him. Everyone stopped asking him. When everyone was chatting, Zhao Zhigao nodded, not knowing whether he had heard it clearly or not.

During the meal, the Hanliners saw that Zhao Zhigao was a little contemptuous, but everyone was doing it carefully.

Lin Yanchao looked at Zhao Zhigao's appearance and couldn't guess it. After Shen Shixing abdicated in history, it was this old man who got the first assistant.

But as the prime minister in this way, are you sure that you are not here to ruin the country?

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Just as he was halfway through the table, someone suddenly reported outside: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

When Xu Xianqing, Lin Yanchao and other Hanlin people heard this, they immediately went to Yimen to receive the order. Zhao Zhigao's legs and feet were not smooth, and Lin Yanchao also helped him.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhigao nodded and thanked Lin Yanchao: "I'm working hard."

It was Chen Ju who came to announce the order. Chen Ju smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Lin."

Lin Yanchao said in surprise: "Why are you happy?"

Chen Ju smiled and said, "Of course it was the emperor's favor, and the emperor gave him flying fish suit."

All the Hanlin people were shocked when they heard this.

What emperor gave him the patronage?

Or a flying fish suit?

There are several levels of garments given by the emperor, namely python suit, flying fish suit, bullfighting suit, and unicorn suit.

Flying fish suits are usually given to Jinyi and the military officers, and the military generals are guerrilla-level generals.

As for the flying fish garments given to civil officials, it is at the level of the Six Ministers of the Secretariat.

During the Jiajing period, the emperor once saw the Minister of War wearing a python robe, so he was very angry, so he questioned the Grand Secretary Xia Yan, how could he accept the python?

Xia Yan said, Your Majesty, you are wrong. It is a flying fish suit, it just looks like a python suit.

The emperor said that he farted, where did the two horns come from on the flying fish's head?

Therefore, this flying fish suit was a grace that the ministers of the current dynasty had. Because Hanlin was a close minister of the emperor, a fifth-rank scholar could borrow a third-rank official uniform. As for bullfighting suit, only the emperor gave him the occasional gift.

Therefore, it is normal for the emperor to give Lin Yanchao a cow fighter uniform. This is the grace given to the Japanese lecturer.

But there is no such precedent for giving flying fish suits!

Chen Ju smiled and took the imperial plate, but saw a scarlet flying fish suit on it.

The Jinyiwei wore a flying fish suit, which was willow yellow, bright yellow, and ginger yellow. This was a forbidden color, because it was the emperor's personal army, so it could be worn.

The civil officials' flying fish suit is scarlet.

This flying fish suit is woven by cloud brocade, and the flying fish on the flying fish suit is indeed horned.

Xu Xianqing and other Hanlin people were not very envious of this scene.

Then everyone guessed that the answer was found.

The emperor asked Lin Yanchao to be the prince's teacher, so he naturally treated him with courtesy.

People should also be courteous and considerate when hiring a teacher for their son, let alone the emperor's family?

Therefore, the emperor’s intention to give the flying fish uniform is here. As the prince’s teacher, of course, you must have a noble uniform!

From the prince’s master to the prince, all officials must respect it. This is the reason for the emperor.

Lin Yanchao knew that the emperor did not mean to be the prince's teacher, but the emperor gave him flying fish clothes at this time. What is the purpose of such grace that is not easily given?
