Inside Cining Palace.
Zhu Bai held the imperial edict in his hand and read it over and over again.
It was as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
The Hanlin Academy had always been the place that abided by the rules the most, and was often said to be old-fashioned.
But this time, he actually took the initiative to make an exception for Zhu Bai, letting him, a nine year old child.
Became Hanlin.
Moreover, he was a doctor of the Five Classics.
The so-called Five Classics Doctor referred to the Five Classics of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Moreover, it was a rank-6 official title.
It was comparable to some Rank-4 officials.
"Eunuch, is Imperial Father joking with me?”
Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at the smiling eunuch.
"Aiyo, Little Highness.
Your Majesty is a man of gold and jade. You're really a Hanlin now.
This servant congratulates you!"
Although the eunuch didn't know what the Five Classics Doctorate was, he knew that this position was the official Hanlin Academy!
His face instantly became a little fawning.
Looking at the other party's expression, Zhu Bai felt even more.
The other party might not have lied to him.
This imperial edict was real.
But in Zhu Bai's view, this imperial edict in his hand was like a hot potato.
He never wanted to be famous.
"Where's Father?
Where is Imperial Father now?"
The other party said with a smile.
"She's with the Empress."
After saying that, Zhu Bai took the imperial edict and hurried towards the palace.
As soon as he entered, he complained.
"Imperial Father, why are you working with outsiders to make things difficult for me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily.
"Bai 'er, this is a joint memorial from more than twenty Hanlin Academy members.
Imperial Father couldn't refuse!
Haha!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this matter, he only felt carefree.
He wasn't too sure what the study of the heart was.
However, seeing this group of Hanlin scholars being defeated, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as refreshed as drinking a large bowl of cold water in the middle of summer!
Moreover, this nine-year-old Hanlin was a member of the Zhu family.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely satisfied.
He had already become the emperor and was now above tens of thousands of people.
Now, he hoped that his descendants would have a bright future.
He couldn't be happier about Zhu Bai's matter.
How could he stop them?
When Zhu Bai heard this, his face immediately became distressed.
Empress Ma smiled and said.
"Chongba, isn't this a little inappropriate?
Bai 'er was indeed a little young.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"Sister, don't the people of the Imperial Academy always say that the accomplished are the teachers!
Our Bo 'er is more knowledgeable than them now, so he can naturally become a doctor of the Five Classics.
Moreover, this was something that he had begged for, right?
We can't turn a deaf ear to the feelings of the ministers, right?”
There was a hint of mockery in his words.
Hearing this, Empress Ma nodded.
"This is the first time in the Ming Dynasty.
Bai 'er, since your Imperial Father said so.
Then you can be a doctor of the Five Classics for now.”
Then, she reminded Zhu Bai about the working hours of the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing this, Zhu Bai was stunned.
It's really hard for Da Ming to be an official.
If he really became a Hanlin, he would have to wake up more than two hours early.
Moreover, he didn't have many holidays.
"Imperial Father, does that mean that I won't be able to rest in the future?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.
"Why not? Three days.
Winter Solstice, Spring Festival, and my birthday.”
Hearing this, Zhu Bai only felt that the officials of Great Ming were in a very miserable state.
They only had three days off in a year.
This situation would only improve after a long time.
Before leaving, Empress Ma even reminded him.
Let him wake up early tomorrow.
It was his first day in office, so he couldn't be late.
"Understood, mother."
Zhu Bai cupped his hands in farewell.
He deliberately ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and left angrily.
The other party wasn't angry and just laughed at the side.
In his heart, he thought that he would chat with Xu Datang and these old brothers in the future.
With Zhu Bai as a topic of conversation, he could show off.
"Our Zhu family still has the seed of a scholar!
Look at all of you, you're all boorish.”
……
Zhu Bai walked out of Empress Ma's bedchamber and walked towards his own courtyard.
But on the way, he met Zhu Rong.
The other party said shyly.
"Twelfth brother, your brothers have discussed this.
Can you teach us in the future?
Don't let Song shi come over."
When Zhu Bai heard this, he only felt mentally tired.
The other party would rather let a nine-year-old child be a teacher than be beaten with a cane.
"How did you know?"
Zhu Rong's face lit up.
"This matter has already spread, saying that twelfth brother is now a Hanlin.
Your sixth brother, eighth brother, and ninth brother all said that they wanted you to teach us.
You're also a scholar, aren't you?”
Towards this, Zhu Bai could only flee.
He was not in the mood to be a teacher for a group of princes.
Moreover, it was obvious what the other party was thinking.
They just felt that Zhu Bai was the younger brother, so it wouldn't be good to hit them with the ferule.
The princes didn't care if they could learn anything in the main hall.
Seeing the other party run away, Zhu Rong hurriedly shouted,
"Twelfth brother, you haven't promised me yet!”
When Zhu Bai heard this, he only ran even faster.
What was this?
He finally returned to his own courtyard.
Zhu Bai could finally heave a sigh of relief.
However, in the next moment, a black shadow ran towards him.
It was the little Zhu Yunwen.
He hugged Zhu Bai's thigh and said happily.
"Twelfth Uncle, my mother said.
You can teach me in the future!
You're also a Hanlin, aren't you? But can you not hit my ferule!”
For Zhu Yunwen, there was no better teacher than Zhu Bai.
She looked close.
Zhu Bai shook her a few times but did not manage to shake Zhu Yunwen off.
He said helplessly.
"I can't live like this anymore!"
……
At the same time.
Zhu Bai's reputation had completely spread throughout the Imperial Court.
All the ministers were discussing this matter.
In the Ministry of Central Affairs.
Hu Weiyong felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was gilding his son.
"Lord Prime Minister, how did His Majesty convince the Imperial Academy?”
Lee Shan Chang shook his head.
"Not really. A few days ago, there were indeed some changes in the Hanlin Academy.
His Highness the Xiang Prince had indeed proposed some new knowledge, which seemed to be somewhat different from Confucianism.”
Hu Weiyong was a little puzzled.
"This subordinate has heard of it before. It's called the Heart Study.
However, what great principles could a nine-year-old child say?
Could it be that the Hanlin Academy was trying to deceive people? Borrowing the identity of a prince."
Lee Shan Chang nodded.
He felt that it was possible.
Outside the Ministry of Central Affairs.
It was not a place that was well-informed.
The ministers only felt that this matter was extremely absurd.
The nine-year-old Hanlin was simply the greatest joke in the world!
The Hanlin Academy was not just a position.
It was also a symbol.
They represented the best candidates from the imperial examinations.
Many officials who did not know the truth thought that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's doing.
He forced the Imperial Academy to submit a memorial and appointed the prince as the Imperial Academy.
Soon, the discussion regarding Zhu Bai.
The news continued to spread from the imperial court.
Some of the nobles in the capital, even scholars and scholars, were discussing this matter.
Zhu Bai's name also stood out among the princes.
