The wide thousand-step corridor has many government offices gathered on both sides. The Hanlin Courtyard is behind the Thousand Steps Corridor and is one of the closest yamen to the noon gate of the imperial palace in the imperial city.

Gao Xianning is on duty in this yamen, he is a humble and easy-going person. Although most of his colleagues were from Jinshi, they quickly became acquainted with him.

In the Hanlin Academy, there is really no white contact, and the friends are all knowledgeable and courteous, and colleagues are very polite and elegant; The environment is good, and Gao Xianning soon felt that it was good to be an official here.

Jingshi thus left a good impression on Gao Xianning.

There was only one person among his colleagues who looked down on Gao Xianning a little, and soon Gao Xianning heard a talkative colleague tell him: That person said behind his back that Gao Xianning would not take the right path of the imperial examination, and would pick crooked doors and evil ways to take the position!

He also said that Gao Xianning relied on writing "Zhou Gongfu Cheng Wang" to gain fame and reputation, but he immediately reneged on his words and took refuge in the new monarch, but he just took the "shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain".

That person is Xie Jin.

Xie Jin's reputation is also very big, and he became famous earlier than Gao Xianning. Gao Xianning had heard about this person for a long time, but he just smiled and didn't comment.

Legend has it that Xie Jin was still nursing in swaddling clothes, and began to learn to read; By the time he was five years old, his name had spread throughout the village. Then the test Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi are triumphant and smooth sailing, and the township test is at the top of the list, known as "Xie Yuan".

When Xie Jin was admitted to the Jinshi, he was not yet twenty years old, and in this era when gray-haired people were very likely to be unsuccessful, the Jinshi who was less than twenty years old was quite remarkable!

Xie Jinke was proud, but after entering the officialdom, it was very bumpy.

First of all, when Taizu was the emperor, Taizu loved his talent very much, and asked Xie Jin to "know everything" despite admonishment. As a result, Xie Jin really said everything, said a lot of bad things about Taizu, and said that Li Shanchang was a little wronged...... So although Taizu recognized Xie Jin's talent, he felt that it was not easy to use, so he asked him to go back to self-cultivation first. Taizu's meaning, if you don't want to use it, you can leave it for your grandson.

So I arrived at the Jianwen Dynasty. Xie Jin immediately went to Beijing to mourn Taizu, but as a result, he had a grudge with many courtiers and was always impeached. Emperor Jianwen felt very troubled and relegated him to Gansu. I'm going to keep it and use it when there is a shortage of people in the future.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Jianwen, Xie Jin returned to Beijing, but as soon as Emperor Jianwen remembered him, the emperor himself "self-immolated".

However, at this time, there was a new emperor in Jingshi, that is, Emperor Yongle. Xie Jin came up to take refuge, saying that Gansu was too far away and there were too many sheep, and he wanted to be a Beijing official...... Joy of Joy!

The original Yan Wangfu has a room of military generals, and there is no shortage of military generals, but there is a shortage of civil officials! Damn, there were Shilin celebrities who took the initiative to vote, and Yongle immediately regarded Xie Jin as a treasure and was ready to use him.

Xie Jin was immediately appointed as a Beijing official, and he would first be a Hanlin attendant. So Xie Jin finally turned over.

…… Recently, Gao Xianning and Xie Jin are going to be on duty in the same room again, because everyone has to edit the "Taizu Record" together. Edit it first, do some preparation, and then finalize it later.

In the lobby of the Hanlin Academy, there are books and cases, the air is filled with the fragrance of ink, and the sound of the tip of the "rustling" brush flowing through the rice paper is intermittent.

Sunlight shines on the quiet and elegant study hall, which is bright and bright. Some people are holding pens and twisting their beards to ponder the words, some people are sitting in front of the bookcase, the pen in their hands is dexterous like flowing water, and some people are bowing and asking their colleagues for advice.

Everyone has a sacred and serious look on their faces, because what they are revising is going to be passed down in history! Even after a thousand years, future generations will also look at these things to understand the people at this time; Just like people at this time, they have to read the literature of the Sui and Tang dynasties in order to understand the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty through the ages.

At this moment, a shout came from outside: "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”

All the officials immediately put down what they were doing and walked outside the hall to greet them.

Emperor Zhu Di stepped forward, personally picked up a civil official, and said with a pleasant face: "Get up, all be flat, and do your own thing." I'm not here to disturb the Aiqing, but to see what my ministers are doing. ”

So the officials thanked him and welcomed the emperor into the hall of the Hanlin Academy. Everyone obeyed the order and walked back to their places to get busy...... And it seems to be much busier than just now, and people are moving faster.

Zhu Di turned his head to look at the files in the hands of the civil officials, and kept nodding his head in approval, staying in the Hanlin Academy with great interest. Let everyone see, not only can you fight the world right away, but you can also enter the Hanlin Academy when you get off the horse, and you can get along with the well-educated Confucians.

At this moment, Gao Xianning picked up a stack of files, walked up to Xie Jin, and arched his hand: "Please read and refer to the details, are these first drafts revised by the lower officials today appropriate?" ”

Xie Jin glanced at Gao Xianning, then picked up the stack of manuscripts, and after a few glances, he immediately said: "Who told you that the fourth son of Taizu is from Empress Xiaoci Gao (Ma's)?" ”

When a sentence came out, many people looked sideways. Zhu Di, who was strolling leisurely, also immediately turned his head to look over, after all, the "fourth son of Taizu" was talking about him.

"Isn't it?" Gao Xianning looked puzzled and said, "How should it be written?" ”

Xie Jin said: "The official is asking you, who told you?" ”

Gao Xianning said: "Everyone in the world knows something, and many people tell me this!" ”

Xie Jin's face suddenly turned red with annoyance, and said, "Gao Editor, you find out for me, where is the record of this matter!" ”

"It was just because the lower officials couldn't find it that they wrote about things that were recognized by the world." Gao Xianning stood there with his waist straight, looking like he was not afraid of boiling water.

"How can it be!" Xie Jin suddenly sneered, and the hand pointing at Gao Xianning's nose was lowered again.

He took a long breath and said earnestly, "Young juniors should read more, learn more, be humble, and don't think that if you have written a famous article, you can smear the history at will." Do you know what we're doing, huh? This is the record of Taizu, and it will be history in the future! For future generations to see, you can write as you want? ”

Xie Jin shook his head and sighed.

Gao Xianning said: "That's what the lower officials wrote, otherwise how should I write it?" ”

Xie Jin said: "Then go and check, find out!" ”

Gao Xianning said quietly: "The lower officials can't find it, why don't you do me a favor?" ”

Xie Jin suddenly bowed to Zhu Di with his fists and said: "Holy Lord, this Gao Xianning is really stupid, please make a clear judgment on the Holy Lord!" ”

Zhu Di's face suddenly looked like a pig's liver, and he was embarrassed to stand there with nowhere to put his hands and feet...... The main thing is that this thing is very weird, doesn't Zhu Di even know who he gave birth to? How is he going to judge?

At this moment, a civil official said: "Respectfully ask Xie Shiyu, if we can't find anything, do you still have the face to lead the court Lumi?" ”

Zhu Di listened, glanced at Xie Jin, as if he was hurting somewhere, and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is another urgent matter...... and he was about to leave.

The officials hurriedly bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Holy One!" ”

Gao Xianning knelt down and bowed, and said in his heart: I can finally be an official in the Hanlin Academy.
