Going to court is a chore.

The most bitter thing is to eat. Shen An didn't like the food in the palace, so he mostly brought it himself.

He carried a small food box in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand, standing in front of the imperial city and sighing: "It's all white lanterns, the light is miserable, a group of people surround the imperial city, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a zombie siege!" ”

At this time, a familiar voice behind him asked, "What is a zombie?" ”

Shen An said casually: "It's just that people die with green hair and become hard corpses, the kind that can still jump, it's very fun." ”

Syllable!

Shen An put down the food box, covered his head and turned around, and Bao Zheng behind him said angrily: "I have been thinking about these ghosts all day long, what kind of system they have become!" ”

Shen An pointed left and right, and said aggrievedly: "See for yourself whether it looks like it." ”

On the left and right were officials, who stood under the city walls with lanterns, and their faces looked a little blurry and dull because it was dark......

Bao Zheng suddenly felt a little cold on his body.

As soon as the city gate opened, the ministers rushed in.

"Shen An, you're in the wrong place!"

Some people are still making fun of this, Bao Zheng was worried that Shen An would scold people when he was young, so he said: "If others say it, they will say it, and everyone can get closer if they say it a few more times." ”

Who said that the old bag is stereotypical and impersonal?

This is clearly a human spirit!

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Zhen yawned covertly, and then listened to everyone's announcement.

When it was Bao Zheng's turn, he briefly explained the situation in Kaifeng Mansion yesterday, and finally made a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, it's a little early, and it's still dark when the hundred officials arrive at the edge of the imperial city, can you let people light some lanterns on the head of the city?"

"Why?"

Zhao Zhen felt very strange, because Lao Bao was the most extravagant and wasteful, didn't he fall asleep today?

Bao Zheng said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, a group of people are standing under the city with lanterns, looking a little strange. ”

"Really?"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Zhen was interested, and he was going to take a look tomorrow morning.

"Shen An is doing things safely, Zhu Qing will see how to reward ......"

But before that, he had to explain Shen An's affairs.

As the so-called clear distinction between rewards and punishments is the way to prosperity, Shen An has made a contribution, how can this be rewarded?

"Your Majesty."

Shen An came out in Xiao Qing's jealous eyes and said, "Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, you are so frightened to suddenly come out of the white body. Stabilizing grain prices is just a trivial matter, and the minister never dares to take credit for it, and implores His Majesty to retract his life. ”

Zhao Zhen stroked his beard and nodded slightly, thinking that although this son was young, he acted steadily and had superb skills, and he was the seedling of some famous ministers.

"You're humble, and that's a good thing. But I remember you owe a poem...... Don't shirk today, do it quickly. ”

The emperor's words staggered the matter of rewarding Shen An, but it made Wen Yanbo and the others feel slightly cold.

Is the official family optimistic about Shen An?

Xiao Qing was so jealous that he almost couldn't control his emotions, he felt that Shen An was his opponent in his previous life, and he continued to pit himself in this life.

But on second thought, he smiled to himself again.

This is Shen An's opportunity, but writing poetry is not something he wants to do. But the emperor's order is here, you can try to prevaricate with.

Bao Zheng also felt that this matter was a little troublesome.

Evaluating a person's knowledge, sticking to the scriptures and ink meanings naturally cannot enter the eyes of these important ministers, only poems and articles, these two are the criteria for judging a person's talent.

Su Shi wrote an article last year during the imperial examination', which attracted Ouyang Xiu's praise, and even derived an idiom - to get ahead.

What about Shen An?

There's nothing this guy can handle, right?

As for those two poems, the first one was too angry, and they had already scoffed at it. And the second poem of Yongmei was said to be too heavy in twilight.

Shen An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is young and lacks urgency, but he has a few lines of poetry that have no beginning and no end." ”

Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and said, "Say it quickly, otherwise I will let you go to Changchao every day." ”

This punishment was so powerful that everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Shen An couldn't help but look like earth when he heard this, if he really wanted him to go and squat over there every day, it would really be better to live than to die!

So he hurriedly said, "The minister has." ”

He frowned slightly, looking like an old pedant, but in fact he was unconsciously pretending to be an old Chinese medicine doctor.

"The court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the ...... of the Tianzi Hall"

It's a bit straightforward, and it doesn't have any meaning, but it's better than apt.

Isn't Shen An the Chaowei Tian Shelang, and then suddenly pulled by the emperor to his side.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, feeling very comfortable.

"There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant."

……

Shen An walked in the palace and felt that those eyes seemed to be a little strange.

He didn't know what a glory it was to have spread his four lines of poetry all over the court, and to be Tian Shelang and ascend to Tianzi Hall at dusk.

Then Zhao Zhen even let people pass on this poem, which was very grand.

"You've got a firm foothold, and if you don't make a mistake in the future, you may be able to get a glimpse of the political hall. However, you also have a shortcoming, that is, the imperial examination, those who are not named outside the Donghua Gate are not serious officials, so the old man asked you to go to the imperial examination at that time...... Hey, that's it, Shen Bian is in front, but you can't go. ”

Bao Zheng felt that he saw a pearl gradually being dusted away, revealing a little light.

But if this pearl wants to shine, it has to continue to work hard.

"You need to be more diligent and make more credit than others......"

Shen An knew this, so he expressed his humility today.

If the courtiers are compared to the masters of a prestigious university, then Shen An is a child who only graduated from elementary school.

"You have rashly broken into the court and stood on the side of the Son of Heaven, you must be cautious and cautious, otherwise today's glory will become tomorrow's disaster......"

Shen An turned around, then bowed in thanks.

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "In the past, everyone thought that you were still a fortunate minister, but after the food price was calmed down, even if you were integrated, the rest had to depend on your own actions and work hard." ”

He patted Shen An on the shoulder, and then left the palace alone.

Shen An looked at his back and suddenly asked, "Bao Gong, do you have a guillotine?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head.

Shen An laughed and said, "I'm crazy. ”

There's nothing dog-headed, but there's a living old bag.

He looked up at the blue sky and felt the infinite breadth of his chest.

"Cool!"

After going down, before leaving the imperial city, Shen An saw Zhao Zhongjiao.

"Congratulations."

Zhao Zhongjun stretched out his hand with a smile and was slapped back by Shen An.

"Congratulations on what?"

Zhao Zhongjun turned around and walked side by side with him, and said: "I, Weng Weng, said that you are now on a firm footing, and Xiao Qing is still a fortunate minister, so I drank too much at noon and danced happily......"

Cho Yun let dance?

Shen An didn't dare to imagine that picture, it must be too beautiful.

Zhao Zhongjun's face twitched, and he said, "My father said that he was blind, and said that you were a young man. ”

Back home, Zhuang Laoshi took his family to greet him.

"Congratulations to the young master for becoming famous in the capital."

"Congratulations to my brother......"

Shen An looked at these family members and felt warm in his heart.

If he has a firm foothold, it means that the Shen family has taken root in Bianliang, and in the future, it will gradually flourish with branches and leaves, and the roots of the tree will be deep......

Shen Bian, did you see that?
