Chapter 20: The Early Dynasty
Recommend the masterpiece "Overseer": The people are still there, the country is still also, there is no distinction between north and south; All in all, in general, not a thing.
Xu Ping felt that he had just laid down, and before he even had time to dream, he was woken up by Lin Suniang.
Reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Suniang who was sitting on the bed next to him, neatly dressed, and even the jewelry had been properly arranged, Xu Ping thought he was dazzled.
Rubbing his eyes, he saw that it was really Lin Suniang sitting there. Looking out the window, the moonlight was hazy, counting that it was still early before dawn, and couldn't help but say to Lin Suniang: "You haven't slept all the time?" Wasn't it late at night after last night when we wer-after? It's still early in the morning, why are you up? ”
Lin Suniang blushed and said to Xu Ping: "This morning, if you don't get up again, your father-in-law will come to call you!" ”
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was going to go to the early dynasty with his father today, and it was no longer the time when he used to be in Yongzhou with his own temperament. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to sit up from the bed.
Lin Suniang didn't speak, silently helped Xu Ping get dressed, waited for washing, and said softly: "Go early and come back early, just eat back, don't eat out with your father-in-law." ”
Xu Ping agreed, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly hugged Lin Suniang.
Lin Suniang blushed suddenly, and before she could react, Xu Ping had already gone out with a smile.
Xu Zheng was already waiting there in the courtyard, and when he saw Xu Ping coming, he said: "The early dynasty is the first priority and a major event for the courtiers, you are the first day today, don't get up so late in the future!" ”
Xu Ping smiled secretly in his heart, he was going to make up the numbers, and when he went to ask for leave today, he would start as long as he wanted in the future. In the middle of the night, don't you understand how to toss people, and let people live a normal life!
Outside the yard. Gao Daquan and Liu Xiaoyi each led a horse, and when they saw Xu Ping's father and son coming out, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Xu Zheng and Xu Ping turned on their horses, gave the two of them a command, and left the house.
Xu's house is not far from Yujie, and there are drum tower servants of Kaifeng Mansion in the streets and alleys. There was no need for people to follow, the father and son drove out of the alley, came to the street by the Bianhe River, and went all the way east.
At this time, it was the middle of the day, and even the darkness before dawn had not yet arrived, and the road was quiet, only the wind blew through the Bianhe River, and the gentle sound of water reached the ears. It's also the coldest time of the day when the wind blows. Xu Ping couldn't help but shudder.
Tianfeng City is still asleep, the road is quiet, and there is no one in the shadow.
Xu Ping had a very strange feeling and was a little flustered. At this hour, he hasn't been there for many years, and the darkness around him always feels like the world has changed.
The hours of the early dynasty were supervised by Qintian, and they were very particular. But Xu Ping couldn't accept it anyway. What time is this? With the concept of his previous life, it is not yet four o'clock in the morning. Who can stand it when you get up at this time every day? No wonder the emperor is unwilling to go to court every day, who can stand this kind of life!
Slowly approaching the royal street, it began to be lively, and a shop selling various snacks has opened. Very open officials come here and will drink bowls of ravioli. Eat a bun and have something in your stomach to drive away the morning chill.
Xu Zheng has always not eaten at this hour, he rushed to the Wende Hall early and came out to eat after the dispersal. Xu Ping naturally obeyed his father in everything. Act with his habits.
The two corridors of the royal street suddenly increased in people, and they were all officials who wanted to rush to the early court. Many of the big people who go to the vertical arch hall do not take the royal street, and most of the people who walk here are court officials like Xu Ping, who are not in a box, which is naturally much shabby than going to the vertical arch hall.
is not a box officer, easy is easy, but only the capital, the price in Kaifeng City is expensive, and it is really not easy to live. Most of them also rode horses like the Xu family's father and son, and many rode donkeys, and some people couldn't even afford to hire donkeys, so they spread their legs and walked.
Xu Zheng didn't pull almost once in the morning, and he also met a lot of people, and there were constantly people to greet him along the way. Xu Zheng returned the salute one by one, and did not forget to introduce the son next to him to everyone who greeted him, Yongzhou came back just now, and he was going to take the academy exam in a few days. As for what Xu Ping did in Yongzhou, he doesn't need to say it, now it has already spread in the capital, and even the common people know Xu Ping's name. The people of Kaifeng City are waiting for a few days, Li Foma and other cadres of Jiaozhi monarchs and ministers are escorted from Yongzhou to Kaifeng City, and the emperor is surrendered on the tower of Xuande Gate, which will be a big day in the capital.
Following Xu Zheng's command, Xu Ping saluted his father's so-called colleagues and friends one by one. In terms of official rank, Xu Ping is definitely at the top of this group of people, and he doesn't have to keep the election, he doesn't have to work so hard, the treatment is what these dreams of. Seeing this kind of big man claiming to be a junior in front of him, many junior officials were flattered.
It's a mess, and before I know it, I arrived at Xuande Gate. With the flow of people, Xu Zheng and his son dismounted and entered the Xuande Gate together, and went east to the Wende Palace.
There are also east-west gates, and they are formal gates, and most of the ceremonies related to the gates are held here. However, the emperor easily did not go to the Wende Palace, and the gate here only had a ceremonial function.
As his father went to the gate to sign and draw a pledge, Xu Ping thought about coming to ask for leave after retiring from the court, but he had to think about how to tell his father with an excuse. Xu Zheng is very precious to get such a chance to go to court, if he knows that his son has come once and asks for a long vacation, I am afraid that his face will not look good.
Since there is nothing serious, the early dynasty in the Wende Hall is messy, like the vegetable market, and the officials who come here are chatting with their friends, and they don't care about what position. The Imperial Observatory and the gate staff were not surprised, and they didn't bother to play the pressure, just look back and forth and don't do things too much.
According to the official position, Xu Ping should be in the forefront, but there are few people here who stand seriously, so Xu Ping had to follow his father and silently nap in the Wende Palace.
When Xu Ping was traveling in the world, he was suddenly slapped by his father and hurriedly opened his eyes.
I saw a young man in his twenties and thirties standing in front of him, full of surprise: "Yunxing, I heard that you are going back to the capital in the next two days, but I didn't expect to see you here!" ”
Xu Ping saw that it was Wu Yu of his own year, and hurriedly saluted: "Chunqing, are you also returning to the dynasty to report on your work?" ”
Wu Yudao: "One is to report on work, and the other is to participate in this year's big department, so I will spend more time in the capital." ”
"I see." Xu Ping's mouth should be harmonious, looking at Wu Yu, he was also a little envious.
This is the real talented person, the provincial yuan of the fifth year of Tiansheng, Jinshi Jiake, especially self-satisfied, but also to participate in this year's system. If you don't get a third-class, I'm really sorry for his hard work. The system is different from the Jinshi course, which requires a particularly high breadth of knowledge, and Xu Ping did not even dare to think of participating in the exam with special learning methods.
The third class of the system is equivalent to the treatment of the champion, as long as the entry level is equivalent to the jinshi, Tianyu is the examination expert of their Tiansheng five years jinshi in the same year. (To be continued.) )
