Chapter 010 Pai Liang knife on the court
Yonghong six years at the end of the autumn, today’s great dynasty, is the last winter before the last great dynasty, in addition to the six kings to the capital, almost all the court outside the pillar of the government are also with the great potential hidden potential “roll” into the capital, which is rumored to be completely surrendered to the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the General Gu Jiantang, the Spring and Autumn General Lu Shengxiang, the rest of the great generals still in the honor have also been Dressed in court dress, in the darkness of the day at the time to follow the torrent, from all sides of the high mansions folded into the imperial road, slowly surging to the imperial city gates.
Tai’an City is the center of the world arch, become the new woman waist of the Royal Road, 16 miles long, is undoubtedly the history of the most spectacular a central axis, nine warps and nine wefts of the front and back of the city, integrated into the way of the sky, the central axis of the architectural complex than the successive dynasties have come to the thick and vast.
Lower Mawei post house is located between the inner and outer city, from the central axis of the Yonganmen flyover is only half a mile away, the river under the bridge is called Longshu ditch, the people say it is the capital of the water vein to this and condensed into a dragon’s whiskers, can be away from the sun dynasty Chong fire, it will be a bridge to subdue the water to subdue the dragon. A not ostentatious carriage along the Royal Road, slowly sailing to the Imperial City outside the Zhao family urn, the first door of the Imperial City, each side of the tree is named Shixi Wen Zhenwu of the two houses, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and other Yamen belongs to the Wu that is the yin, is located on the left side of the Zhenwu after the Square, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Hanlin Households and other belongs to the text that is the yang, is located in the right side of the Shixi after the Square, the Shixi Wen two words from the old man Song’s hand, and now also replaced with a new plaque. Today’s early morning specifications strange great, Zhaojia urn near almost no place to stand, parked all kinds of horse-drawn carriages and stations full of all kinds of servants, away from the Yang Dynasty twenty years of peace, the early morning parking matter also has a lot of unwritten rules, according to the rank of the rank of the high and low divisions, high horse carriage stays from the imperial city wall the closer the position of the lowly ones in order to move away, many official position is not on the top of the civil and military officials are familiar with the state of affairs in the court, and simply walk on the court! The first time, not to hurt the peace, not to argue with who grabbed the position and red in the face, the foot of the emperor, in the capital for the official is not easy ah.
No less than a thousand people of the magnificent lineup, which has white hair but never been able to step over the five officials of this hurdle of the old man, there is a year but the future is bright has been a four-person officer, but also the age of confusion is holding a power of the pride of the sky, there is the status of the yellow and purple nobles, wearing python robes of the relatives of the royal family, some people jokingly say, if there is a land god can be in each morning, haphazardly killed a pass, the Liyang dynasty will have to The people said that if there is a land god who can kill a bunch of people at every morning court, the Liyang Dynasty will have to be hurt. There are also jokes, just these officials hanging pendant jade are given in the bag, that is a great wealth. There is also a rumor that you recognize the hundreds of nearly a thousand faces outside the city gates, you will clear up the veins of the Liyang Dynasty.
Bieye’s Zhang Julu led the Zhang party, General Gu Jiantang as the head of the Gu party, Sun Xiji left the capital after the group of dragons without a head of the legacy of the party, the collapse of the Qing party, which is only a rough division of the surface, within the intricacies of each of the Prince’s party, the party of the relatives, the party of the Hanlin Huangmen, the party of the State Crown Prince Prison, the party of the magistrates, the party of the grace of the shade of the party, the party of the new science and technology scholar, or the deep-rooted and enduring, or thinning of the mountain lost power and decline, none of them dares to say that! No one dares to say that he or she can be in this big muddy pond of mixed fish and dragons, even if it is the chief minister Zhang Julu also dare not. The city gates are closed, not yet opened, qualified to enter the door of the Ho Ho more than a thousand people one after another in their respective positions, there is no lack of slippery people are still mingling with a number of circles to talk, but most officials feel a thunderstorm want to wind full of the city’s breath, closed air and concentration, extraordinarily quiet, occasional epiphany, whispering, but also be careful only to the side of the “party”! ” squeak.
Dismounted from the Mawei that carriage came a little late, see the needle are extremely difficult, only to stop far away, walked down a man in white with the suspicion of impropriety. More than a dozen officials afraid to miss the meeting of the officials hurriedly ran through, even too late to look on, a middle-aged black fat man ran especially arduous, panting, only with the white man brushed shoulders, on the laborious bending down, hands on the knees, sweating profusely, look at his uniform on the official patch, is the fifth grade of the heavenly policy priests, but also is considered in the Qing Shui Yamen Guo Zi Jiao ranked number of the important members, after all, the left priests of the Huan Wen is also only from the third grade, but this pouting that bulge of the drums, the priests of the heavenly policy priests, the priests of the heavenly policy priests. But this fat man pouting that bulging uniform almost collapse open big ass, really can not be called elegant, he bowed his head and gasped like a cow, the corner of his eye glimpsed the side of the man slowly forward, the waist tied with an uncommon jade belt, which makes the official camp no talent only practiced a pair of fiery eyes of the black fat man on the strange, it is not possible to be Zhao’s family clan in the head of which a room of the distant branch of the descendants of the Zhao family, if not Zhao’s family and when the first emperor of that room from a far away Relationship is very far away from the dragon children and grandchildren, are not here to land on foot on the court, but when he stared at the eyes again, shocked, actually copied the honored style of Dragon Dragon clothing, five-clawed python dragon, not to reduce a python not to reduce a claw, the black fat man rushed to raise his head to look at the end of the examination, more and more wondered, a young man early in life, black fat man don’t look at the grooming is shabby, but is also an old-fashioned, good man, a clenched teeth, followed up the front, asked in a low voice: “This master, allow me to say a word, you this body python robe, I have never heard of, do not take the risk of unauthorized use, if this master inherited the title of the former dynasty which prince, this body of court dress, but also can not be put on the front and then walk a few steps, there are a number of magistrates and eunuchs of the Secretary stared at.”
Fatty’s words were too not six hundred preachy. It was no wonder that he could only be pressed to work as an official in the State Prison where it was extremely difficult to get ahead.
The white-haired man turned his head to look at him and smiled. The black fat man is perhaps the nature of the bull’s-eye, chattering endlessly, “this master, you can not really do not pay attention to ah, some years ago there is a distant county king’s son, have not seen the world, no one told him the rules, the results of the old calendar to the court, did not enter the door to the python robes, the day of the downgrading of the two ranks. Today is more than ten years to the most important one of the court meeting, master you can really listen to my advice, turn back to hurry to change into a court dress, would rather be late to be punished, but also do not be wrong to be beaten ah. I look at you this body python clothes, put aside in today’s Yonghong years, also on the dynasty Zaifu and some of the temple cabinet university professor can wear on the court.”
The white-headed man frowned and walked forward in silence.
Walking in his right hand side of the black fat man glimpsed the young man waist hanging knife, a slap hard slap on the thigh, with their own family was robbed general crying face: “I say this master, you can really dare not be small again, wear a knife on the temple, you this is ……”
White head and white python clothes, naturally for the first time in his life to participate in the Liyang dynasty of Northern Liang Shizi Xu Fengnian, laughed softly: “Mr. Priest is saying that I am looking for death?”
The black fat man smiled, waved his hand vigorously, and said awkwardly, “I can’t afford to be Mr. Sacrifice Wine nor Mr. Sacrifice Wine.”
In the State Children’s Palace is equivalent to a part of the minister of the black fat man, finally did not continue to ill-advisedly bring up the crop of usurpation, in the end did not lack of eyesight to the bottom of the pot. However, obviously worried about the spillover, the black fat man subconsciously with Xu Fengnian pulled away from a distance, but it is really conscience tormented, walked for a few moments but fifty or sixty paces, and then whispered with a bitter face: “I say that this master, I take the liberty to ask a question, where do you work, in the imperial court can be a solid backing, and can you talk to a certain noble in the palace? If the latter two are not, I really advise you not to venture to the morning court, the capital is not compared to the place ah, rigid rules and so on.”
Xu Fengyen, who had a Northern Liang sword, laughed softly and said, “It is indeed my first time to enter the capital, no one has reminded me of the rules, my father is alive at home, and these clothes were temporarily sent to the residence by the court, so I should not have broken the rules. As for the matter of the sword, if it is really bad rituals, I will eat back as a lesson, the big deal is not into the city door without the temple, slipping away from the capital, anyway, into the capital, did not see any Ministry of Rites officials to receive.”
I heard that the python coat is the court’s newest gift, the black fat man as a relief, just as this newborn calf does not know the tiger ferocious young man on the board will be stopped outside the city gates, this moment to make up for the thumbs up praised: “other than to say, this master courage courageous enough.”
Xu Fengyen and the black fat man walking together, slowly walking in this section of the central axis of the end of the imperial road, although the black fat man when the official when the penniless, but at least it is into the stream of the State Crown Prince Prison Qinggui, there are still qualified to move forward to dozens of steps away. Don’t underestimate the meaning of these dozens of steps, how many Beijing officials, the first time into the dynasty face the holy rankings at the bottom of the list, standing in the farthest, the last time is still so miserable. Even a step and a half step closer to the city gate is a great fortune, or why do they say that outside the door of the court, the most can be fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. The more forward, the black stout fat man, the more I feel the atmosphere odd up, which makes the State Prince Supervision Tianze priest used to being ignored contempt jokes, uncomfortable, straight line forward, he and his side do not know which nooks and crannies out of the young son of the world, such as splitting the river chopping the waves, some of the original view of his nostrils skyward of the power of the officials are complex eyes, face unusually stiff, torn out of the two sides of the queue, and then the bombardment retreat and then retreat again! A few steps, the tide flows backwards. Black fat man has seen most of the State Prison colleagues face, is thinking of sneaking in with the usual shut up and pretend to be a grandson, and saw the State Prison left priest Huan Wen Huan old man surprisingly this time did not go with the first minister to get together a bunch of people to go, laugh and look at their own, which makes the most afraid of Huan priests of that old vixen unique smile black fat man creeps out.
This because of the grooming naturally poor and fell into the laughing stock of the small priests approached the State Scholarship large team, was privately known as Huan master of the left priest adults patted the fat man’s shoulder, laughed: “Wang Copper Furnace, not bad ah.”
Many colleagues around the Imperial College also have a playful look, which makes the obtuse black fat man more and more confused, the dry and thin left priest smiled and said: “Copper furnace ah, when to get on this big boat in Northern Liang, deep hidden well, in the future, don’t forget me this bad old man.”
Wang copper stove in two and two Shang puzzled, puzzled to ask: “old master, say what, under the official hear do not understand ah.”
Huan Wen squinted at the young man who was supposed to die twenty-one years ago, skimmed his mouth and joked, “Look at that one, you are not all the way to wonder why that boy dared to wear a white python robe and also dared to wear a sword to the court?”
Wang Copper Furnace nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, “Right, right. I have advised him for half a day, that young master just laughed with me and didn’t listen to advice, making me anxious.”
Rao is the left priest through the eunuchs, spread on such a knowledge is not aware of the elm lumps subordinates, also have a little bit of tears and laughter, a slap on the shoulder of Wang Tongforge, “you this fool, eighty percent is to go to help compile the new calendar edited stupid, do not see this way to see you see the plague with the same?”
Wang copper stove anxious face red, so a black charcoal face can let people see the red, can be seen that its urgent fire, “Master, don’t sell secrets with small. Again not through the bottom, I will say that my stomach hurts, do not dare to go to the morning court!”
The left priest laughed out loud, “That kid is the son of Northern Liang who was said to have taken the heads of Xu Huainan and the fifth raccoon, you, you, this trip to fox and tiger is a once in a century occurrence.”
The black fat man’s legs were soft, fortunately there was Huan Wen to assist him, the old man gasped and laughed, “Hurry up and stand up straight, I’m a big old man, I can’t help you with this two hundred pounds of autumn fat.”
Wang Tongforge stretched his neck to look at that look is only the snow white back, such as the mother of a dead man said: “Master, I really have a stomach ache.”
The left priest Huan Wen in the capital officials traditionally known to protect the calf, scolded with a smile: “Shameful thing, thanks to a body of talent and your body meat, etc., later you will follow me.”
Wang Copper Furnace legs swinging, disheveled oh a sound.
Outside the main gate of the Imperial City presented a fan scene with amazing momentum.
Headed by Chief Minister Zhang Julu and Great General Gu Jiantang.
There were even King Zhao Bing of Yanzhi, King Zhao Yi of Guangling, King Zhao Suo of Jiaodong, King Zhao Ying of Huainan, and King Zhao Heng of Jing’an, the five great clan kings.
There was also Chen Zhi Bao who changed into a brand new bright red python suit.
Behind the young man in the white python suit even more seams disappeared, surrounding him in the middle.
Isolated.
The same situation as Bei Liang and the 300,000 iron horsemen.
Xu Fengnian’s face was expressionless, his heart murmured, “Xu Snapdragon, this time I’ll walk for you!”
