Chapter 070: Heavy Rain in the Valley

After the late Emperor of Beimang ascended the throne, he thought he had done four great things, unifying the royal tent of the royal court, creating more than 600 post stations, drilling wells where there was no water, and setting up a red army to guard the cities and towns of the major military towns. The current female emperor usurped the throne but not to change the government, in these four things continue to work carefully, but also conscientiously do two things, do not military and civilian, that is, the local military and civilian property is separated, and then is the tax and household registration, and other things such as the establishment of the Department of agricultural persuasion, compilation of the “Nongsang Series of Essentials”. North Mang’s civil official system is far less than the Spring and Autumn in the Central Plains that perfect, any one thing, the emperor himself to spend a great deal of energy to personally, so in Xu Fengyen’s view, wearing a dragon robe is really unattractive, the family has a difficult to read the scripture, away from the Yang Dynasty’s Zhao son of the emperor’s rule, the degree of diligence, it is only high, allegedly these years down to the daily average of the Zhu batch of text reaches thousands of words to know that this is a family world of the emperor! Instead of pursuing the writings of the literati scholar. Other not to mention, only is the court, the daily pro sitting in front of the door to deal with all the three provinces and six departments of the Division of the size of things, let those who think that when the emperor is just three palaces and six houses of the people listen to and fear.

It is late spring, the rainy season, heavy rain, splashing in the city of Tai’an.

Previously, the capital did not post the Tianshi scorpion charm ban custom, just with the green word Chancellor Zhao Danping’s power in the capital, as well as the folk praises, especially after the example of the Son of Heaven, the city has a vermilion sand book talisman scorpion ban custom, ordinary people go to the Taoist temple to spend tens of dollars to buy talisman, broke the money to discuss peace of mind. Wealthy families naturally have access to the Taoist real person hand-painted charms, and the high mansion, are the capital of the old gods in the heart of the clever fairy sent the Taoist children to take the initiative to send stacks of red charms to the door, which is no different from the warmth of the Qingming Valley rain between the gift of tea. At this time, there is still a small period of time from the dawn of the fifth night, a man wearing a big red python suit walking in the deep palace, holding a few and unusual scorpion ban talisman is very different from the yellow background of the Zhu Dan talisman, the other hand hanging down in the sleeve, lifting an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.

Slowly through the corridor across the road, to the north door of the Palace Xuanwu go, the man without eyebrows without beard, a head of snow white hair, two strands of long hair such as snow hanging in front of the bright red python robes, holding a charm to explore the sleeve of the hand, roughly see just pruned and clean, such as a woman’s fairness and slenderness, fine look at the cuffs even have wireless red wire such as a slender snake twisted torso fluttering. Although it is only the rain, about the sake of the near lake, after a sudden rain, near the sound of frogs. North Gate Xuanwu has a more drum room as well as the error of a carved leakage room, each selected by the diligent eunuch on duty, although white hair such as frost, the face but well-maintained look only middle-aged look python clothes eunuch footsteps were silent, as a walking in the night in the rat cat. Palace qualified to wear a red python coat eunuchs only a few, in terms of official rank, to the four-person Sili palms seal eunuch and from the four-person Sili pen eunuchs several big eunuchs as the leader, the Imperial Palace of the City of Tai’an is said to be a vast 100,000 eunuchs, although it is an exaggerated number of false, but also sideways to illustrate that the world’s family of the name of the Zhao family of the eunuchs of the more. This close look at the attire has been enough to be called sable temple eunuchs came to the Xuanwu Gate, posted a painting of the male chicken pecking scorpion Zhu Dan talisman, he can not read, naturally, can not recognize those subtle talisman in the end what is written, young into the palace before the money to enter the teaching school or private school, into the palace, after, with the master, so busy that can not care about learning to learn the text and literacy, and then later, the master has become the nine or five, probably to avoid suspicion, he also did not go to read a few books. A few books of the mind.

Standing under the door, looking at the talisman written by the Longhu Mountain Zhao Danping pen, the big eunuch’s lips slightly moved, said no one can hear the three words, “Ghost Drawing Talisman.”

He looked up at the sky, but also a rainstorm, a pity for those new red peach blossom new green shoots, silent umbrella back to walk back. The fourth shift will come, near the carved leakage room, an old eunuch of the temple supervisor hurriedly took the green background of the gold lettering of the hour card to the more drum room ran, along the way the size of the eunuchs saw, regardless of the identity of the eunuchs have to stand sideways to show respect, that is, there is no cover the door of the eunuchs in the room to see, but also should get up. Eunuchs of the world’s eyes cloudy and foggy line of work, there are too many rules and regulations, there is a holy grace is a big eunuch bumped into the value of the temple supervisor eunuchs, the wrong knocking, the big eunuchs used to be the head of the class has become the Royal Horse Eunuchs of the seal, privately, father and son, eunuchs on duty was bitten back and killed alive, and then by the Han Diao Temple was informed that not only is this hot eunuchs, together with the Royal Horse Eunuchs of the seal! The eunuch was lynched and flayed, and this even the court ministers are horrified at the great event, the family affairs of the state affairs of the Emperor’s Majesty is used to personally, but also just a smile, for the Imperial Historian impeachment of the general snowflakes, to the widow’s family affairs of the four words dismissed. At this time, the old eunuch to the drum room to deliver the hour card originally immersed in all the eunuchs wherever they went in the respect and courtesy, saw the corner of the big red python clothes that a head of white hair, instantly hair blowing, do not dare to stay, just stooped down and bowed his head, big steps into small steps, but speed up the pace, making the speed does not increase rather than decrease. White hair red python eunuch slightly side shoulder, two identity of the eunuchs of a world of difference in this rubbing shoulders, the old eunuch has always been even the atmosphere do not dare to gasp. Boy, how he is not afraid, when that left behind the new prince into the palace, behind this, but a gas killed more than four hundred eunuchs who dared to privately discuss the identity of the prince, which is the heart of the twenty-four Yamen, one of the Bureau of War’s chief eunuch.

This red python eunuch with bloody wrist is naturally the head of 100,000 eunuchs, and is known as one of the three evils of the dynasty with the human butcher Xu Snapdragon and Huang Sanjia, the human cat Han Sable Temple.

The drums of the fifth night are sounding, that is, the dawn is breaking.

The first sound of water dripping from the nine quarters of the hourglass room, there are nimble little eunuchs rushing to the palace gate to report that dawn has arrived. Ten million big red lanterns almost in the same instant hung high, illuminating a palace bright, full of life. Han Diaoji gently walk in the middle of it, wait until the second sound of nine quarters of water, he just step to the emperor’s Royal Palace, after entering the room, always lowered his head, can only see a pair of yellow and purple boots from the Shangyi supervisor, remove the color of the significance of the noble, but also with the ordinary family of cotton shoes are no different. Inside the room, there is a royal purifier to serve that man to put on the positive yellow dragon robe, the man listened to the sound of rain outside the window, the sound of a gentle smile, “Valley rain rainfall, everything is clean and clear, a good omen.”

Bending down Han Diaoji, two strands of sagging hair almost touching the cool verdant stone floor, softly said, “Your Majesty, the sixth prince yesterday entrusted someone to send some rainy toon into the palace.”

The man did not make a sound, the atmosphere in the room was stagnant, only to hear the rumbling of the rain outside the window, for a long time, he laughed: “Although the rain before the fragrant toon is tender as silk, but he is obviously to send you this master husband, has nothing to do with me, you do not draw a snake to add to it.”

Han Diaoji bent lower.

The man took off a yellow and purple cotton shoe and slammed it on this big eunuch, laughed loudly, and said slightly helplessly, “Just bring three pounds over.”

The red python clad Han Sable Temple nodded, the white snowy tresses of his hair bending on the floor with him, picked up the cotton shoe, jogged a few steps, and handed it over to the hands of the imperial purifier, then retreated a few steps back, stood in place, and with the eunuch’s characteristic soft cadence, except that compared to some eunuchs who were feminine and oozing with a few more points of mellowness, he said in a low voice, “Your majesty, pardon me, but the Sixth Imperial Prince has only sent two pounds of fragrant toons. ”

The man who had only taken the cotton shoes and was ready to put them on by himself threw them over again, and scolded with a laugh, “Then bring both pounds, you, who are the Grand Master, don’t have this mouthful of good fortune.”

Palm treasure seal big eunuch and several are red python giant eunuchs have been waiting quietly outside the door, standing in the center line of the corridor, the wind blowing rain slanting, the heavy rain patting the railing, splashing into the corridor, the shoes quickly soaked through. These big eunuchs are eunuchs extreme four from the fourth grade, waiting to follow His Majesty the Emperor to the south, during which you have to first walk through a symbol of the boundaries of the Great Inner Dragon Road, and then around two palaces, before counting the folk so-called Jinluan Hall to participate in today’s morning court.

Before the dynasty, there will be a few newly promoted and up in the midway of the living room Lang into this team, are some young new faces, but even the big eunuchs have to smile to each other, and the past first-class dignitaries in the palace met their initiative to dismount from the sedan chair is the opposite.

The morning of this dynasty follow the old rules, the emperor himself, excluding natural disasters, cold and heat a day without interruption, but for the vast majority of rank is not high for the Beijing officials, is not how tiring, only need to participate in five days once a great dynasty and the new dynasty, those who live close to the imperial city of a few of the powerful and wealthy piled up on the street of the officials, probably four more get up, the rest of the officials every great dynasty, if you can not afford to buy the closer the more the more the imperial city is the more Inch of gold mansion compound, I’m afraid to have to move in the middle of the night, through the small half of the capital in order not to delay the meeting. Today’s heavy rain, civil and military officials went out with raincoats, this time wearing raincoats waiting for the gates to open, because it is a big dynasty, not only is the Prince and Marquis extra horse harnessed by the side of a team and nearly a thousand Beijing officials, many hereditary officials also come to the morning court as a rule, there are one thousand and four hundred and five hundred people, densely packed standing in the rain outside the gates of the Imperial City, the size of the raindrops hitting in the umbrella, thumping sound.

This is a picture of a peaceful and prosperous world that is unique to the waiting for a leakage of the dynasty.

This huge empire, which had never been seen before, had countless governmental orders handed down to them to reach every corner of the territory.

After the bell is rung, these powerful court officials in Beijing will abandon their umbrellas and go forward. After the city gates, no noise is not allowed to spit, close to the Imperial Court has a sick cough that is allowed to leave the court, the former often also varies from person to person, low-grade officials once found, will naturally be monitored by the guards and eunuchs expelled, in the past, many of the ancestors built the merit of the children of the Lord officials also do not care about this, step into the temple before the way forward, will be with the officials of the world to whisper, say something less than respectful words, until after the reign of Chief Zhang, this bad habit has been cleansed, but also the most important thing is that they have to be able to do the work. This kind of bad habits can be cleansed, each time the court will therefore more and more solemn and solemn. Dahuangmen Jin Lanting umbrella and stand, still lonely, most of the Beijing officials who are quite unhappy with this person are privately teased “not a crane in the flock, but a chicken in the flock”, especially the carp jumped the small Shi clan Huangmen Lang an early morning, but diarrhea, almost suffocated to death, but fortunately, Huangmen Lang unlike the officials below the fourth grade only kneeling outside the palace can not be Into the temple to face the saint, was seen by His Majesty the emperor, specially allowed him to leave the class, only did not make a big joke, so this is not easy to sell familiar Xuan and a few big names to pull on the relationship of the Huangmen Lang, thoroughly become the capital of the eminent personage before and after meals to make fun of the talking points, especially Huan Wen led by the state son of the left Altar to go to the Guangling Road as a strategy to make a large seat in the capital, the only one of more than four officials are willing to let the yellow door of the Jin into the house! The door of the temple court ministers are also gone, who let this kid good death bias and northern Liang close?

In order to replace the identity of the big yellow door hesitantly stepped into the capital of the Jin Lanting, has long lost the beginning of the scholarly spirit, polished edges, for the overwhelming cynicism also no longer care about the heart, he clearly remembered when he was invited to the door by Huan priest the next day of the court meeting, the eyes of those who are jealous of the envy of the eyes. Jin Lanting stretched out a hand to the umbrella, the rain hit his palm, a burst of pain. Has been to oil-paper umbrella to cover the face of his slightly raised umbrella, looking at those every acquaintance piled up will mean a small mountain of a hundred state officials, listening to their laughter, this is the Beijing officials collectively excluded from the acquaintance of the Xuanlang gently tiptoe tiptoe, because of his status of noble, the great dynasty to be strictly in accordance with the rank of the order in order of the fish pass through the door to be able to close to the Imperial City main gate, and so Jin Lanting saw a few conspicuous umbrellas, one of them was One of the umbrellas is the tall and therefore exceeds the normal umbrella a few inches of the first minister Zhang Julu, under the umbrella, in addition to this “three hundred years of unique pillar” of the big man, there can not go to the court but insisted on going to the court under the door of the province of the Left Minister Sun Xizi, presumably the first minister of the Lord is worried about the body of the Sun old Minister, to help hold the umbrella to block the rain, this is a great honor, compared to His Majesty the Emperor! Permission for the old servant to sit in the chair of the court is not bad at all.

Jin Lanting retracted his cold hand, lowered his eyes, and clenched his fists.

He quietly looked at a minister not far away who was also from Northern Liang, the Minister of Ceremony, Yan Jiexi, who was a member of the imperial family. The latter, who was originally the state pastor of Northern Liang’s Lingshou Prefecture, happened to look at him as well, and the two sides bounced apart as soon as their lines of sight touched.

Jin Lanting did not reveal his eyes, took a deep breath, and his eyes were resolute. He wants to be an admonishing minister.

And today will be his impeachment of misguided traitor, is to bring him into the capital as an official of the Northern Liang King Xu Snapdragon!

He knew that after the morning court, no matter whether the heavy rain stopped or not, he would shake the court and his reputation would be full of honor.

And at this time, Xu Fengnian turned into the Orange State.
