As Yan Shu became more and more famous, he was recommended by Zhang, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, took part in the national court examination, and finally was successfully admitted to Jinshi. Although many people were admitted to Jinshi in Song Dynasty, we should know that Yan Shu was only 15 years old at that time. In the Song Dynasty, being a scholar at the age of 65,438+05 was equivalent to being a doctoral student at a famous university at the age of 65,438+05, which shows that Yan Shu's talent and ability are really strong. Yan Shu's first official position in China was secretary of provincial affairs. The secretary's provincial affairs in the Song Dynasty refers to the staff who manage the book collection institutions in the Song Dynasty, and it is also equivalent to the current national book collection institutions, such as archives and libraries.
Because Yan Shu was knowledgeable and powerful, he was able to get the important task of the emperor and his official career was constantly improved. In "Yan Shu", he served as the official position of Fenglilang in Taichang Temple, and was promoted soon. He was directly promoted from the eighth grade official of Fenglilang in Taichang Temple to the sixth grade official of Guanglu Temple. After that, Yan Shu had to resign because her father died. However, Song Zhenzong did not let Yan Shu mourn for three years, so he was transferred back to Beijing. Thus, Song Zhenzong appreciates Yan Shu very much.
Yan Shu is not only a hero who has made great contributions to the country in the officialdom, but also a colorful scholar outside the officialdom. There is no doubt that Yan Shu is indeed a gentleman. Although he was demoted, he did not lose his position, but tried his best to develop his official position.
