The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

In order to report the matter to Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng brought Yun Yanhui with him the next time he entered the palace.

When he went in, it happened that the officials were talking with several ministers, so Bao Zheng asked Yun Yan to take it outside and go in by himself.When I saw it, not only the Prime Minister Wang Feng, but also several old ministers were inside, and there was Yun Yanhui's uncle Zheng Yu Zheng Zhiyuan.

Bao Zheng greeted everyone with a nod of his head, and after they finished their work, he told about Kaifeng Mansion's plan to run a government newspaper.This matter is more structured, so he did not choose to write a letter, but to speak in person.

It just so happened that the members of the Privy Council were also there, and when they listened, they immediately expressed their disapproval.

Bao Zheng finds it very strange, you run your mansion newspaper, and I run my mansion newspaper, and then it will be fine for you to interrogate the place where there is no violation of laws and regulations. Is it worth objecting?

The people in the Privy Council said, Nima, you also know that it will be brought to us for trial. We are already busy enough, isn't this increasing our workload?

Bao Zheng thought, well, since that is the case, why not give it to the court for trial?

According to the management of the previous dynasty, in fact, the Dibao was originally edited and reviewed by the Zouyuan. It was only when Emperor Taizong of this dynasty changed the system, and the Zouyuan just issued and copied it.

The members of the Privy Council knew that Bao Zheng was attacking them as soon as they heard it, and even shook their heads.

Bao Zheng curled his lips, and he almost didn't say the phrase "occupying the latrine and not shitting".

Renzong propped his chin, "Oh, Bao Qing's idea is good, but the Privy Council really..."

Bao Zheng said abruptly: "It's not my minister's idea, it's actually the idea of ​​Zheng Zhiyuan's nephew."

Everyone else was taken aback, thinking that it was Zheng Rong's idea that he said it, and even Zheng Fan himself changed from watching the show to being stunned, and only after hearing it did he realize that he was panting.Everyone couldn't help looking suspiciously at Zheng Yun, Zheng Yun's nephew?What does this have to do with the Zheng family?

Even Renzong thought about it for a while, and then remembered, isn't Yunyan back to that guy Zheng Yun's nephew.This Yunyan was too narrow-minded when he returned, because he said that he was uneducated, so when he returned, he wanted to get a mansion to report it.The idea is good, how about the quality?

Zheng Yun obviously thought of this too, and was speechless for a while.

Bao Zheng, this is pulling people to stand in line at the scene.

However, Zheng Yan listened to it with great interest, and actually thought it was a good idea, so he immediately said, "This kid is ignorant, but he is still dedicated to his duties, and he can do something for the Kaifeng Mansion."

Pulling Zheng Xun into the water became a start. After being dragged by both sides, other people also wet their trousers and had to join the battle.

Renzong watched in silence for a long time, and when they were tired from the quarrel, he said calmly: "Okay, in my opinion, this matter is a good thing, so I allowed the Kaifeng government to handle it. Since the Privy Council has no time, let an old Hanlin do it for you."

The old Hanlin that Renzong ordered was surnamed Hu. He knew the Privy Council as a scholar of the Imperial Academy.In this way, even if the quality of the editor-in-chief Yunyan's report is not good, the old Hanlin can still look at it.

Renzong asked himself, is he good enough for Yunyan to return to this kid?

And with such a double background, even the Privy Council can't say anything.Special approval by the government, but the people approved are qualified and have enough status, so there is no room for criticism.

Renzong immediately sent Hu Hanlin to tell him about the manuscript review. He is a veteran, so he still needs to ask for his opinion.If he doesn't want to, he can't force it.

At this time, the member of the Privy Council said cheekily that he hadn't seen Zheng Zhiyuan's nephew yet, so he asked to come and see?

Everyone is an official, and they can laugh and talk immediately after the quarrel.

Zheng Yan smiled twice, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Because of Zheng Ling's relationship, many people thought that the two of them had reconciled - but in fact, it did ease a lot.

That being the case, let Xuan Yunyan come back.

After Yunyan came back, everyone realized that Zheng Rong's nephew was so young.

"Well, I don't think I've seen it in the court. Where is the official position now?" asked the Privy Council.

Yun Yan returned to salute the elders, and replied honestly: "Temporary workers are here..."

Bao Zheng casually added the meaning of a temporary worker, "I recruited him, a petty official with no rank or rank, and he has never taken the imperial examination."

Everyone: "..."

What's the situation, the juniors of Zheng Yun's family are going against the sky, and they entered the Hanlin Academy of Painting, and they went to Kaifeng Mansion to be small officials.

Renzong smiled slightly: I haven't let everyone know, not only have I never taken the imperial examination, but I have never even read a book.However, people just want to run newspapers, what's wrong?

After caring about the juniors for a while, Hu Hanlin also came, with a white beard, and was given a seat when he came.

Renzong told Hu Hanlin about it.

However, Hu Hanlin feels that there are more important things to do in this old man's time. Such a mere mansion newspaper will waste half an hour of my week?Not so good?

Renzong tried his best to facilitate this matter, because Hu Hanlin admired Bao Zheng very much, so he said that this is what Bao Zheng strived for, and the big smuggling case of the Ansu army that your old man also cared about a while ago was also the one who proposed the idea. The classmates made great efforts.

The others all said "Huh" together, because it was Zhao Yunchu who ordered it, so those who did not understand the case carefully probably thought it was all due to Zhao Yunchu.Zheng Yun knew about it because he had inquired about it, but he hadn't spread it outside.

"Sure enough, a hero born a boy."

"Nephew Uncle Xiao, nephew Uncle Xiao..."

Hearing the latter sentence, Zheng Yun had some smiles on his face.What a pity, this is his nephew, it would be great if it was a direct descendant.Zheng Yun also fantasized about how he would teach such a son or grandson.

When Hu Hanlin heard this, he slowed down a lot, walked up to Yun Yanhui, and wanted to take the school exam, Bao Zheng had already seen it.

Hu Hanlin didn't know Yun Yanhui at all before, and he just came here. He didn't know that he hadn't studied for a few years. When he heard that he had gone to the border to handle a smuggling case, he reported his heart to the mansion. The first impression in his heart was good, and he subconsciously I felt talented, because most of the officials these days passed the Jinshi examination, so I asked him, "Why do you study and become an official?"

——This sentence is originally a very common question, and it is not new at all. Many scholars and officials have asked themselves or been asked.The easiest and hardest to answer.

But when Hu Hanlin asked about Yun Yanhui, it made the other people feel a little happy. This kid has never been an official.Renzong and the others thought even more that they hadn't read the book for a few days.

Just as Bao Zheng wanted to clarify, he didn't want Yun Yanhui to spit out a few words in a loud voice: "Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the living people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their expressions changed a little, and then they looked back at Yunyan differently, especially Hu Hanlin.

Of course, not including Renzong, Bao Zheng and Zheng Yun.

Renzong: "..."

Just because Yun Yan didn't quote classical Chinese in official documents doesn't mean he hasn't learned Chinese in modern times. Last time he used the "Gou Li" sentence flexibly.

These four sentences just now are the famous sayings of Zhang Zai, a great Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, but at this time, Zhang Zai should be only fifteen or sixteen years old.Of course, "early" in modern times, Yun Yanhui had already learned these four sentences.

These four sentences are simple and meaningful, and the simple explanation is to establish the correct spirit for the world, educate the people to make them work hard for their own destiny, and continue the doctrine for the sages. The last sentence is easy to understand, and it will bring peace to all generations.

Later, this became the goal of many scholars, and it was almost flooded, but now, it can still make people feel deaf.

Except for Yun Yanhui, all the people present are well-educated people, and they are more immersed in people's livelihood and government affairs, so they naturally understand the meaning of the words more deeply.

Hu Hanlin pondered for a long time, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded, "Very good." He turned around and bowed to Renzong, "For young people to be so interested, the old minister is willing to review this weekly report for the Privy Council."

He was stunned. If everyone in Song Dynasty had such an ideal, we would not worry about being rich and powerful.

Renzong: "..."

Hu Hanlin took over the task, and Lao Huai left in relief.

The rest of the people were about to praise Zheng Yun's nephew, but they found that Zheng Yun had a dazed expression on his face.

Renzong was full of absurd feelings, but he also held a sliver of "expectation". After all, there was no rule that illiterates cannot have great ambitions. Looking at Yunyan, he replied, "You never said, do you still have such ambitions?"

Yun Yan bowed her head in embarrassment: "Reporting to the officials, I'm sorry, I, I just bragged..."

Everyone: "…………"

Renzong held his forehead, "You..."

He was really in a daze, just now he had a slight doubt, so he just said, Yun Yan is a person who writes all the documents in plain language, not to mention anything else, can he continue to learn for the past?Following a recipe is almost the same!

Zheng Yun and Bao Zheng also couldn't laugh or cry, their relationship was just to fool Mr. Hu!

However, there is no regulation in any Song law, so you can't brag.If he didn't admit it, he could still be classified as lying in front of the emperor, but he admitted it, and he was not the emperor who lied, what can he do with him?

Yunyan thought about Renzong's words, but she was holding back!

Renzong nodded him a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end, because even if it was bragging, these few words are worth pondering, "You, get out."

Yunyan smiled back and withdrew.It feels so good to run after pretending.

……

Now that the relationship has been established, Yunyan will organize an editorial team when he returns. Among the six Cao Caos in Kaifeng Mansion, Shi Cao is the most leisurely, and he often comes to play with pens, so he appointed several of them to be editors.

Then, an official document was issued to the governments of Chiji County and each branch, stating the matter, and asking them to select the best correspondents, who must have a certain level of education, be younger, and have a brighter mind, and then send them to Kaifeng Prefecture for short-term training.

This is a good job. I can live and eat in Kaifeng Mansion for free for a period of time, and I will have an excuse to come here often in the future. In this way, the quota is really a competition.

As for whether they can be qualified for the task of a correspondent, it is completely out of their consideration.

What's so difficult about writing a residence newspaper?
