Chapter 397: Five Watches to the Dynasty

To say that the greatest reward given to him by the imperial court in previous years was the right to open a mansion in Chang'an, so there is also a Shenhou Mansion, and now the Shenhou Mansion, but it is just in name only, Jinyiwei will no longer take over those cases in Dali Temple, and the family background of the Shenhou Mansion has also been arranged by Deyi to get into the palace, and now Jinyiwei is still floating in Liaodong, some are under Xue Rengui's hands, and some are still running grocery stores in Pyongyang.......

His Majesty Li Er also saw that Xuan Shijing wanted the Jinyi Guard to withdraw, so he didn't break it, there were only one hundred and eighty people, not to mention that it was left by his father, so His Majesty Li Er didn't take this matter to heart, a marquis, and it didn't exceed the rules to raise these one hundred and eighty guards under his control.

As for the 500 soldiers in Dongshan County, Xuan Shijing didn't know that His Majesty Li Er already had a contest in his heart, if there was no conquest, it would be a pity that the 500 people were placed in Dongshan County, so His Majesty Li Er planned to get these 500 people into the Xuanjia Army.

Five hundred elite soldiers, together is an invincible sharp knife, divided in the army, that is the best whetstone.

"The husband is already so brilliant in the court at this age, and there are only a handful of people in the court who are in a high position at the age of the husband, so the concubine feels that the husband's official position is afraid that it will not move obviously, even if it is a reward, it is just some gold and silver treasures, these are dispensable things for our house, and the rest is only the husband's title." Jin Yang said.

"Title......." Xuan Shijing smacked his lips: "Now the Tang Dynasty has fewer and fewer titles, it's just a Goguryeo, not so much." ”

"The husband still has the accumulation of the past, and besides, this reward can be said to be a turning point in the career for the husband, whether it is for the husband or for the father, it is worth paying attention to, after all, the credit of the husband is not only the fact that he has leveled Goguryeo in front of him." Jin Yang said.

For His Majesty Li Er's thoughts, others may only guess one or two, but if Jin Yang wants to guess, he can guess at least five or six, and Jin Yang's guess is not unreasonable, but if it is really implemented, it depends on the early dynasty tomorrow.

At the fourth watch of the next morning, Xuan Shijing was woken up by Jinyang, waited for Xuan Shijing to wash, changed into official robes, and took a carriage into the palace after breakfast at home.

Last night, a heavy rain was hearty, until Xuan Shijing went out, the sky outside was still gloomy, with a drizzling rain, from the Daozheng Square to the gate of the imperial city, the street was washed clean by last night's rain, and the air was also filled with a fresh smell of earth.

The streets of Chang'an City are very clean, but the more you go in the direction of Taiji Palace, the more water there is, and it has always been difficult to remove the water in the palace, not to mention the heavy rain that just fell last night.

Today's imperial palace is built by the former Sui, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian advocates frugality, so the palace is also very simple, the construction of the palace in the city of Chang'an is also exquisite, according to the gossip of Zhou Yi, based on it, built the entire Chang'an City.

The ancients liked to do things first, especially to do big things, the ancients looked at the sky at night and found that Ziweixing was located in the center of the northern sky, surrounded by stars, the noble emperor lived there, the emperor as the son of heaven, the monarch on the earth corresponded to the stars in the sky, so Ziweixing is usually called the emperor star, is the emperor's representative star, and Ziweixing is the North Star, when the palace was built, the Taiji Palace where the emperor lived was therefore arranged in the northernmost position of Chang'an City.

However, the northernmost part of Chang'an City is the lowest place in the entire Chang'an City, and the Taiji Palace is in the lowest depression, so in summer, once it rains heavily, a lot of rainwater will accumulate around the entire Taiji Palace and cannot be discharged.

This is also the reason why the more the carriage goes to the Taiji Palace, the more water accumulates on the ground.

On the fifth watch, after the guards of the imperial city proofread the deed, the gate of the imperial city opened on time, and the officials waiting outside the imperial city entered the imperial city in turn.

Entering the palace from the imperial city, the carriage was driving on the ground, and Xuan Shijing could hear the sound of the wheels of the carriage running over the stagnant water, but the stagnant water was not too much, but it was just the hub of the carriage.

Entering the gate of the palace city, facing the Taiji Palace, when he arrived at the gate of the palace city, Xuan Shijing had to get off the carriage and walk.

In ordinary times, officials generally ride horses to the court, except for some elderly people who are not in good health, but when it rains on a cloudy day, the carriage has become the first choice of officials, who is willing to ride a horse and drench in the rain? Before entering the hall, the official uniform was wet thoroughly, which damaged the official etiquette.

After entering the palace, it was not yet dawn at this time, Xuan Shijing asked the coachman to drive the carriage to wait outside first, and then he walked towards the Taiji Hall with a lantern and an umbrella.

The officials waited outside the hall as usual, but because of the weather, His Majesty Li Er specially asked the eunuch to come out to deliver the decree, so he didn't have to wait under the steps outside the hall, so the officials all stood under the corridor outside the Taiji Palace, collected the umbrellas, and extinguished the lanterns.

The coachman held an umbrella for Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing stepped on a low stool and got off the carriage, and when he got off the carriage, the stagnant water on the ground had no soles, and he was very uncomfortable walking on the road, but even so, he had to wait outside the Taiji Hall to go to court.

When Xuan Shijing arrived at the corridor outside the Taiji Palace, there were not many officials here, Xuan Shijing may not recognize them, but they all knew Xuan Shijing, and now Xuan Shijing is in the limelight in the court for a while.

Such a promising young man, still have to stammer? Therefore, as soon as Xuan Shijing arrived, many officials came over and whispered to Xuan Shijing, not asking for anything else, but first mixing up their faces and then talking.

Xuan Shijing also politely returned the salute with these people, chatted for a word or two, and waited for the court, anyway, he had nothing to do.

It wasn't until Cheng Yanjin and other officials arrived outside the Taiji Hall and came to Xuan Shijing's side that these officials dispersed from Xuan Shijing's side.

Cheng Yanjin looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted Xuan Shijing's shoulder: "The kid is good, he has improved a lot." ”

"The little nephew is not too young, if he doesn't make progress, then he will really become a rotten wood." Xuan Shijing smiled with a smile.

"Your father is happy to see you so promising in the spirit of heaven, the Xuan family has you as a kid, it is difficult to think about being underdeveloped, Goguryeo is doing a beautiful job." Cheng Yanjin praised without hesitation: "It's comparable to the old man." ”

Xuan Shijing is embarrassed, is he praising him this time? Still boasting.

Soon, the bell rang, and the hundreds of officials waiting under the corridor lined up to enter the Taiji Hall in turn.
