After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

Shen Ji went home and rested for half a month before going to Quancao to report for leave. Not long after that, her new appointment documents were also issued: she moved to the secretary of the province, Jiazhi History Museum, and bestowed a silver fish bag on Fei Fei.

Zuoshu Lang and Zhuo Zuolang belonged to the rank of officials of the Secretary Province, and they were only used for the transfer of official ranks by civil servants, while the Naoshi Museum was a sweet pastry for many newcomers who had just entered the officialdom.For example, after the imperial examination fraud case in the sixth year of Kaibao, Song Zhun, who was the first in the imperial examination, was appointed as secretary Lang, and also served as Zhishiguan, and other Jinshi did not have such treatment.

Zhishiguan is a post in the museum, and its daily work is to write calendars, congratulate articles, organize books, etc. in one of the three museums. At the same time, when the emperor wants to compile some books, the officials with the post of the library often have a great opportunity to participate.

Don't look at this job as idle, in fact, this post is the place where the imperial court reserves talents and earns qualifications. Those of you who can climb to the high position of ministers have not survived the qualifications in the third hall?

As for the scarlet silver fish bag, this was used by officials above the fifth rank in the Tang Dynasty to prove their official position, identity and status, because only officials above the fifth rank could wear scarlet official uniforms and silver fish charms.Officials above the third rank wear purple official uniforms and golden fish charms.

When Zhao Boss established the Great Song Dynasty, fish charms were rarely used, and fish-shaped silver bags were replaced, that is, "fish bags".

However, it has been nearly [-] years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and it was only in the past two years that Mr. Zhao followed the example of the Tang Dynasty and started to give fish bags.Moreover, the fish talisman in the Tang Dynasty was only used to prove the official position and identity, but the fish bag in the Song Dynasty represented a kind of favor. Only Zhao's cronies and close ministers had the opportunity to be given a fish bag.

Even Boss Zhao's own son couldn't get a fish bag, but Shen Ji got a scarlet silver fish bag, which is really enviable.

After Shen Ji was promoted to an official position, Empress Song reminded Shen Ji to ask for an imperial order for Li Yunyao. This was originally an imperial order intended by Boss Zhao. Zongzheng Temple did not have a card process, and passed this invitation very quickly. Li Yunyao also received the imperial order of "Wen'an County Monarch".

Of course, there are also high and low points between "county monarchs" and "county monarchs", which are mainly based on the level of the county.The counties of the Song Dynasty were divided into Chi County, Ci Chi County, Ji County, Ci Ji County, Wang County, Song County, Shang County, Zhong County, Zhongxia County, and Xia County, a total of ten grades. ①

Wen'an County, where Li Yunyao was granted the imperial order, is the seat of Bazhou, and the county level is Shang County.

The Shen family had double happiness coming, oh no, plus Shen Yilu's [-]th birthday, it was actually three happiness coming, so Shen Yilu, who had been keeping a low profile and cautious all his life, held a birthday banquet with a high profile.

Having said that, this birthday banquet did not invite too many people, and almost all of them had close contacts with the Shen family.

Since Shen Ji has returned to Beijing, she is naturally in charge of entertaining the guests.This is a wind direction, and it is also a signal. People with a discerning eye can see that Shen Yilu is going to let go and let Shen Ji succeed him to support the Shen family.This time, why didn't Shen Yilu use the birthday banquet to continue paving the way for Shen Ji?

You have to know that even if Shen Ji is getting the favor now, as long as Shen Yilu retreats, the influence brought by him as the prime minister will greatly fade away, and there will be more and more people who can help Shen Ji less.With Shen Ji's upright personality, it's easy to stumble in the future if no one protects him.

At the banquet, everyone had their own thoughts.

At this time, the three brothers Zhao Boss, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Tingmei, and the two princes Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang also sent congratulatory gifts.

It is naturally impossible for the three eldest brothers Zhao to come in person, but the two princes came to the door in person.Zhao Defang had a good time with Shen Ji, so it's not surprising that he would come here in person, but it's easy for people to think too much about Zhao Dezhao coming in person, not to mention that he came here to give gifts for Boss Zhao.

In the past few years, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao, the nephew and uncle, have gradually developed from a private competition to a party struggle on the surface, and Boss Zhao contributed to this.For him, Zhao Guangyi is still his close brother, and Dezhao is also his own son, so he will not favor anyone.As far as Da Song was concerned, he had to choose a suitable successor for Da Song, so he did not immediately remove Zhao Guangyi's arms, but let him "compete fairly" with De Zhao.

Now Boss Zhao asks Zhao Dezhao to give Shen Yilu a congratulatory gift for him, this signal is already obvious enough, presumably his heart has gradually turned towards his son.

Shen Yilu was a bit overwhelmed with receiving the congratulatory gift, and after the birthday banquet was over, he said to Shen Ji with a distressed face: "I'm afraid I won't be able to become an official as I wish this time."

Sure enough, after Shen Yilu wrote a letter requesting to be appointed, Boss Zhao rejected his request, and persuaded him earnestly, saying that he was old and strong, and could stay in this position for many years, and the court could not do without him.

Shen Yilu's repeated requests to become an official were all rejected, and he knew that Boss Zhao must want him to stay and play a role in maintaining stability when the throne changes.

Of course, the premise is that he can survive Boss Zhao.

No matter whether Shen Yilu can become an official or not, Shen Ji still has to go to work.

Before dawn, Shen Ji was woken up by Li Yunyao in her sleep to freshen up, put on her light crimson official uniform, and rushed to the palace with Shen Yilu who was wearing a purple official uniform.

This early in the morning, of course it was not time for work, but the officials in Beijing had to go to the palace to go to the court in addition to their daily errands. This was not a small challenge for Shen Ji who had just returned to Beijing to work.

After the court was over, Shen Ji went to the History Museum after having breakfast in the palace.

The address of the third hall is in the southeast corner of the palace, next to it is the Daqing Hall where the grand ceremony is held, the opposite door is the Secretary Department, and the north is the Yanyi Pavilion, the Lecture Banquet Hall and so on.

Shen Ji came to Yimen to sign in, put up the sign with her name on it, indicating that she was on duty today, and then walked into the office of the History Museum under the leadership of the small official.

The History Museum has not been repaired for many years, and it looks a little dilapidated. The eaves and corner floor tiles are covered with moss, which is quite interesting.

There are not many officials in the history museum, and the chief is "supervising the history of the country", but often this post is a part-time job of the prime minister, and the real person in charge is "judging the affairs of the history museum".This post is selected from the four members of the "Historical Compiler", and most of the time the other three are only part-time.

And under the Judgment of the History Museum and the Compilation of the History Museum is the Zhishi Museum.In other words, there are actually only two staff in the huge history museum who are doing practical things.

The reason why it is said that there are two positions in the museum, not two people, is that the number of positions in the Zhishi Museum is variable. After all, talents cannot be restricted by specific numbers. The number of people in the Zhishi Museum depends on which talents the emperor thinks are worthy of reserve.

When Shen Ji came in, he glanced over the on-duty sign hanging at the door, and found that there were about a dozen people on duty in the history museum, but at the moment they were either reading books in the library pavilion or writing. calendar.

The job of writing the calendar is done in rotation. This month it will be completed by two or three people, and the next month will be replaced by another two or three people. Therefore, it is really free to be on duty here.

I am used to being busy in Daizhou, but Shen Jichu is still a little unaccustomed here, so I have to take the initiative to find things to do, and in my spare time, I will use my position to look at the books in the history museum.

Her father held a post of "supervising national history". To put it bluntly, she worked under her father, so the colleagues in the history museum did not do anything to exclude newcomers in front of her. Colleagues get along with each other It's fairly peaceful.

However, not all colleagues are so harmonious——Shen Ji met Hu Dan, who was also a colleague of the same year, on the second day of joining the history museum.

As the number one scholar of the year, Hu Dan was very high-spirited and very proud. He was a general judge in Shengzhou at the beginning, but this year he moved to the left to pick up relics and went to the History Museum.

Zuo Suyi was a kind of remonstrance official in Tang Dynasty, but now, it is only a transfer of official rank as a civil servant.But in terms of status, it is one level higher than Shen Ji's book Lang.

Shen Ji is enough to be favored, but Hu Dan's official rank is higher than her, which shows how bright the future is after the champion.

Hu Dan still does not change his vicious tongue and low nature, and from time to time he has to connotate and satirize Shen Ji who is protected by his father. After all, he thinks that Daizhou has a small population and the tax is not too high. Shen Ji's achievements are not obvious. He is not qualified to be favored by Boss Zhao at all.

He didn't mention the Iron Cannon at all, because he thought that the Iron Cannon was not among the civil servants' achievements.

When Shen Ji was in a good mood, he would tease him, as if he was watching a monkey show; when he was in a bad mood... Oh, Shen Ji was rarely in a bad mood, and the people in the History Museum sincerely admired his optimistic attitude.

I thought this would be the end of my days at the History Museum, but some rumors spread that Boss Zhao decided to compile a collection of various books like "Qunshu Zhiyao".

In fact, Boss Zhao didn't intend to revise the book on the spur of the moment. As early as after he destroyed the Liu Han regime and let Wu Yue accept the land and return it to the Song Dynasty, the court had already proposed such a proposal.However, the positioning of this book, how to compile it, and its size all need to be carefully considered. The project is huge, so it took one or two years to prepare.

Now that Boss Zhao has officially issued an imperial edict, the list of people involved in the compilation has also been announced one after another. Li Fang, Li Mu, and Hu Meng are the chief editors, and several talented Confucians such as Xu Xuan and Zhang Ji participated in the compilation.

Of course, this kind of huge book revision project cannot be completed by a dozen people. They mainly control the overall direction and the final editing and review work. There are still a large number of people who actually collect materials, transcribe, and proofread... Shen Ji is here among the group of people.

The book was originally titled "General Classes", and the ambition of the person who decided to compile this book can be seen from the name, he wanted to include all the books in the world.

In fact, the classification of "General Classification" is roughly divided into heaven, earth, people, things, and things, and each category is arranged according to classics, history, sons, and collections. Finally, 55 volumes were summarized. ②

What Shen Ji was in charge of was the bibliographic compilation of ancient book citations, that is, sorting out the names of the books cited when compiling the "General Classification" for easy retrieval.

It seems unimportant, but in fact it also mastered a part of the important work of compiling the whole book, which aroused Hu Dan's dissatisfaction, thinking that he was obviously talented, why was he assigned to do some chores like proofreading?

So he became more picky about Shen Ji, and often complained behind his back that the editors in charge of compiling "General Class" had a good relationship with Shen Ji, especially Li Mu, who was Shen Ji's teacher, and Xu Xuan often Exchanged literature with Shen Ji, so these editors must be biased.

Before he became a Jinshi, it was fine to offend people everywhere, after all, he never involved the ministers of the court.Later, he served as a general judge in Shengzhou, and he was at the same level as Zhizhou. No one restrained him, and he was like a fish in water. Even if he offended someone with his words, no one would punish him.

But now that he is back in Beijing, he is on duty at the History Museum, and often encounters the emperor's close ministers such as Zhongshu Sheren and Zhi Zhigao, but he is still so outspoken, kicking the iron plate as expected.

Although Li Mu and the others knew that he was gossiping behind his back, although they were unhappy, they didn't have the same knowledge as him.However, his colleagues in the history museum had long disliked him, so they quietly asked the magistrate to impeach him.

Boss Zhao still cherishes his talents, so he deliberately asked someone to investigate this matter, but he didn't know if he didn't investigate. After investigation, he found that he was targeting Shen Ji everywhere on weekdays. Shen Ji was in a good mood so he didn't care about him. But this fueled his arrogance, and he started to speak ill of his boss.

It is a serious crime to insult important ministers and superiors in the court. Boss Zhao demoted him to Dianzhong Cheng and Shangzhou Tuanlian Deputy Envoy, and drove him out of Bianjing.Shen Ji only found out about this under the celebration of his colleagues in the history museum.
