Rise From the Humble

The morning breeze carries the sun, and all things can be seen.

When Zhu Ping'an entered the library, the sky outside had just dawned. The soft morning sun sent a ray of light through the doors and windows of the library. A touch of water vapor condensed on the young leaves outside the window, as if inlaid with a layer of crystal. rhinestones.

After entering the library, Zhu Pingan first went to get a pot of water from the water tank outside, put it on the coal stove to boil a pot of hot water, and then while the hot water was boiling, he cleaned the room and put away pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and office documents. Wait for it to be tidied up and arranged neatly.

After cleaning up, a pot of hot water was boiled, and a cup of hot tea was poured and carried to the third floor. Because the third floor was slightly brighter, Zhu Pingan planned to take advantage of the morning light to read "Yongle Dadian" for a while, and because he had to take the sea route home in a few days, Zhu Pingan found two volumes of "Yongle Dadian" that recorded marine aspects from the third floor. "I sat in front of the window and started reading.

Well

After opening it, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be a little shocked and found that "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Great Wilderness Eastern Classic" were also included in this volume of the Yongle Canon on the ocean. The Classic of Mountains and Seas has more than 20,000 words. Zhu Pingan is a fast reader. He finished reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas in about 20 minutes. Although this book is absurd, it also contains many ancestors' imaginative ideas about the ocean, and it can be regarded as the pioneering work of ocean culture.

However, it is useless and irrelevant to reality.

After reading The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zhu Ping'an skipped these weird and strange classics and went directly to those realistic maritime classics, such as those on marine life, hydrology, islands, etc., especially ship logs that focused on navigation and travel notes. We have an understanding of ancient navigation, such as ship speed, wind direction, etc.

Be prepared and be prepared for any danger. Having so many skills is not a burden. At the very least, when a certain dark girl has questions, she can use this knowledge in exchange for some delicious food. Presumably Li Shu, a pampered young lady, would definitely bring the Li family's cook on board.

While Zhu Ping'an was immersed in the Yongle Ceremony, Master Li Moli, the head of the Hanlin Academy, came to the Hanlin Academy for the first time. Li Mo Mr. Li came earlier, and most people had not come to work yet, so Li Mo came to the Hanlin Academy.

Li Mo's trip was to supervise the Imperial Academy. Although the focus of his work was on the staff department, the Imperial Academy was still under his jurisdiction after all, and he had to take responsibility. Li Mo is a hard-working official. Although he has a somewhat stubborn personality, he is very responsible for his work. Every time he goes to work, whether he goes to the Ministry of Justice, the Hanlin Academy, or other yamen, Li Mo always has to arrive half the time in advance. hours, and this time is no exception.

Li Mo was in a low mood today. Yesterday, the emperor was deceived by Yan Song and his son, and he issued a decree to temporarily relax the sea ban regardless of the risk of Japanese invasion. Isn't this putting our Ming Dynasty in danger? It is annoying and hateful that Yan Song's gang members are seeking personal gain without caring about their family and country.

In addition, the Hanlin Academy under his control also produced a poisonous weed called Zhu Ping'an. He openly agreed with Yan Song and his son, and also used the absurd method of doubling the treasury to confuse His Majesty. The reason why Your Majesty issued the decree to temporarily relax the sea ban is more related to this poisonous weed. It has something to do with it!

Last night, this poisonous weed was talking and laughing with Yan Shifan freely!

The Imperial Academy, the prime minister of the country, cannot allow a mouse droppings to spoil the pot of soup.

Worried, Li Mo stayed up all night and came to the Hanlin Academy early. After entering the Hanlin Academy, Li Mo patrolled around the Hanlin Academy and found that most of the officials of the Hanlin Academy had not yet arrived at their posts. Li Mo sat for a while, and then people from the Hanlin Academy came one after another, but Zhu Ping'an was never seen. The little Yan Party arrived.

Li Mo also went to see the library, but there was no one on the first floor of the library.

Then Li Mo's face turned dark. Today's young people really think that if they hug someone else's lap, they will have a bright future. They really think that if they hug someone else's lap, they will be lawless! I remember that I had specially educated him last time, but I forgot about it just a few days later. Not only was he late, I was actually late!

Come to think of it, it's not just today, it's probably the same for Xiao Yan Dang a few days ago!

How could such a lazy person gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy! This trend must not be encouraged and must be severely punished.

The rules have been set since Taizu: 20 floggings per day for being late for no reason, an extra grade for being late for 3 days in total, and 100 floggings for 20 days.

Today, we must take the Xiaoyan Party as a model and regulate the rules of the Hanlin Academy!

After Li Mo returned from the library, he went to the hall with a dark face to check the sign-in book, wanting to see when Xiao Yan signed in! If you are late several times, you must be severely punished according to the rules.

"I'm here to pay my respects to you, Your Excellency."

Li Chunfang, Yuan Wei and others in the hall saw Li Mo arriving with a dark face and couldn't help but stand up to greet him.

"No need, where is the sign-in sheet? Bring it to me." Li Mo waved his hand and asked Li Chunfang and Yuan Wei.

"My lord, please watch." Li Chunfang handed the sign-in sheet to Li Mo with both hands, then poured a cup of hot tea diligently and placed it on the table beside Li Mo.

Li Mo nodded, then sat down and read the sign-in book.

Li Mo turned the pages from back to front, looking at today's sign-in status first. Turning from the last page, he really didn't see Zhu Pingan. Then he turned another page forward, but still didn't see Zhu Pingan's name. Li Mo's face couldn't help but get darker.

Yuan Wei on the side was a little uneasy. He was not sure why the dean had checked the sign-in book. He drank too much with Yan Shifan last night and had a hangover that made him late today... But what made Yuan Wei relieved was that Li Mo was flipping through it. When I checked in on the last page today, I didn't say anything, but continued to scroll down.

"Huh?"

When Li Mo turned to the first page of today, the elegant calligraphy of "Zhu Ping'an Mao Shi Chu Mo" came to his face with a sense of awe-inspiring righteousness. He was caught off guard and Li Mo couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Converted to modern time according to Ming time, the first quarter of Mao hour is around 5:15.

I don't go to work until six o'clock tomorrow.

"Sir?" Li Chunfang and others were a little surprised.

"Nothing...Zishi, could this sign-in book be forged or signed on behalf of others?" Li Mo shook his head, then raised his head and looked at Li Chunfang and asked. Zishi, this is Li Chunfang's calligraphy.

"My lord, absolutely not. The sign-in book is of great importance. The officials on duty have always set an example and strictly supervised, and they are under the supervision of the imperial guards. All the officials do not dare to make any mistakes. They sign in and make the book strictly according to the scale shown on the clepsydra."

Li Chunfang shook her head with an affirmative look on her face, pointed at the clepsydra that stood aside for timing, and said to Li Mo.

"Um."

Li Mo nodded. He also knew in his heart that in the Ming Dynasty, the factory guards, as the eyes of the emperor, monitored the world. The dinner they had today would be heard in the sky that night, not to mention the check-in status of the Yamen. Who knows if the guards sweeping the floor outside are Jin Yiwei? The Holy One can no longer bear to deceive the emperor and ignore the superiors. Those who cheat have been severely punished by the Holy One. No one dares to cheat again.

Li Mo continued to move forward, turning to the previous day, and found that Zhu Ping'an arrived at the Hanlin Academy at the earliest time. He was among the first to sign in for several days in a row. Li Mo also recognized Zhu Pingan's font, and the sign in note was indeed signed by Zhu Pingan himself.

However, since I signed in so early, why didn’t I see Zhu Ping’an in the library?

Could it be that this guy was doing one thing to the outside and another behind his back? He came to the Yamen early and signed in but then went to find a place to sleep?

Li Mo got up and checked again in the Hanlin Academy. He also looked in the duty room of the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't see Zhu Pingan.

So Li Mo went to the library again. There was no one from Zhu Ping'an on the first floor, only a sweeper. Although it was common, Li Mo didn't recognize his name.

"Well, come here, let me ask you, have you seen Zhu Ping'an working here?" Li Mo stopped the sweeping old Li and asked.

"Back to Mr. Li, Mr. Zhu is reading on the third floor. Wait a moment, sir. I will go up and call Mr. Zhu." Old Li came to Li Mo with a broom and bent down and replied.

"No, I'll just go up and take a look, you can go and do your own business."

Li Mo waved his hand and dismissed Lao Li, then he went upstairs quietly. When he got to the third floor, he saw Zhu Pingan in front of the window, holding "Yongle Dadian" in the morning light, watching with gusto. Zhu Pingan must have been very absorbed in watching it. , didn't notice Li Mo who went upstairs at all.

After watching for a moment, Li Mo gently went downstairs with a complicated expression.
