Chapter 20: Pass the Five Levels

Xu Boyi said: "Ah, this general ......"

The man smiled slightly and said, "The surname Xiong, Xiong Wei, is a guard officer on duty in the Qianqing Palace, and he is not worthy of the title of general." ”

This person said very politely, Xu Boyi didn't take it seriously. Because this Han general is a special group in the Jinyi Guard, all of them are descendants of the emperor's relatives and meritorious heroes, even if a small soldier is released, it is very big.

As for the commander of this Han general, he must have a basic hardware condition: he must have the titles of duke, marquis, earl, etc., or the identity of the emperor's relatives such as the commander of the horse.

Xu Boyi was not familiar with this General Xiong, but he knew that this General Xiong was at least an earl, or some relative of the royal family. Therefore, Xu Boyi still respectfully called him a general, and said, "General Xiong, please open the palace gate, our family is going out." ”

When Xiong Wei heard this, he said with a sad face: "Oh, Father-in-law Yu, once the door of this palace is locked, you can't open it casually." ”

Xu Boyi patted the waist card hanging on his waist to enter and exit the palace forbidden, and said, "Our family has a waist card for entering and exiting the palace!" ”

Xiong Wei said with a smile: "Father-in-law, when the time comes, the palace ban will be locked." What waist cards don't work! ”

Xu Boyi said: "Our family is the person around the emperor, what is the general to worry about?" ”

Xiong Wei snorted and said: "Back then, the great eunuch Cao Jixiang was also a person around the emperor, but it turned out to be not ......, haha, just kidding, just kidding, don't be surprised by Father-in-law Yu, the palace is forbidden to be locked, entry and exit are strictly prohibited, this is the rule of the imperial court, Xiong doesn't dare to offend, that's going to lose his head." ”

Xu Boyi was anxious when he heard this, he made a thousand calculations, but he didn't calculate this. In fact, even if he calculated, he wouldn't take it seriously beforehand. In his opinion, the sky and the earth are big, the emperor is the biggest, and the emperor gives an order, even if officials in remote places like Guizhou dare to disobey the yang and the yin by taking advantage of the convenience of the emperor who is far away, at least no one at the feet of the Son of Heaven dares to disobey.

But he had never been out of the palace at night before, this kind of once-in-a-century thing, no one usually talked about it, how did he know that there would be so many rules. Xu Boyi hurriedly said: "Doesn't the waist card work?" Our family is in a hurry to serve the holy oracle and leave the palace, can't this palace gate go out? ”

When Xiong Wei heard it, he left the palace with a holy decree. didn't dare to slack off, so he pointed: "If my father-in-law really has a hundred thousand urgent events, it's not that he can't leave the palace, it's just that he ......."

Xu Boyi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "But what? ”

Xiong Wei said: "Father-in-law, you have to ask the emperor to issue a warrant, and then write a document to open the palace door at night, and hand it over to the minister on duty in the cabinet for approval, as long as the cabinet is approved, Xiong can open the door." ”

When Xu Boyi heard this, he also got an order from the emperor. couldn't help but have a sad face, and asked: "General Xiong, our family is indeed sent by the saint when he leaves the palace, if he goes back, please ask the saint to decree." I'm afraid that I will displease the saints, can't we be accommodating? ”

Xiong Wei shook his head again and again, and said solemnly: "I can't do it, the rules in the palace are strict." How many heads does the bear have? Don't dare to offend the rules! ”

Xu Boyi said that Xiong Wei just refused to be accommodating, and Xu Boyi was helpless. I had to turn back to the Qianqing Palace with hatred.

Emperor Wanli thought that the beauty he had been thinking about for a long time would be available tonight, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he had no intention of reviewing the chapters, but the night was long, and there was really nothing to do, so he had to find a Tang legend book, leaning on the pillow, lying on the Luohan couch to spend time.

Wanli was watching the story of Tang Ranger when a eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, Father-in-law Yu is back." ”

"So fast?" Wanli was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Quick! Pass him in! ”

After a while, Xu Boyi entered, and Wanli said happily: "Xiaobai, why did you come back so quickly, Miss Yingying is already waiting in the front hall?" ”

In Wanli's thoughts, Xu Boyi went and returned so quickly, maybe Xia Yingying waited for her mother for a long time and didn't return, and went to the palace to look for it, and happened to meet Xu Boyi, so she naturally brought it in immediately.

Xu Boyi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, when the slave and maid left, the palace was already locked, and the slave and maid couldn't get out. ”

Wanli couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrote down an edict, stamped his own small bowl, and handed it to Xu Boyi.

Xu Boyi was afraid that Emperor Wanli would dislike him for doing things, so he didn't dare to say that there were so many rules, so he tried to be as brief as possible, took Wanli's edict, and immediately said: "Slave and maid, let's go, hurry up, and I must rush back as soon as possible!" ”

Xu Boyi said and hurriedly left the Qianqing Palace and rushed to the cabinet duty.

What a huge place in the palace, Xu Boyi was in a hurry all the way, anxious and tired, and he was already sweating profusely when he arrived at the cabinet duty, and the officials on duty here knew the full set of rules, although it was the first time he had encountered the matter of opening the palace door at night.

The official hurriedly rummaged through a pile of dusty yellowed paper and pulled out a printed piece of paper, which was an application for opening the palace gate at night, which listed in detail the time when the palace gate was opened, the reason for opening the palace gate, the person who approved the opening of the palace gate, how many doors to be opened, when to leave, when to return, and so on......

Xu Boyi took it and took a look, only to feel that his head was as big as a bucket, thanks to his full reading of poetry and books, full of knowledge, filling in this thing is not a problem, snatching the pen at the moment, scratching the pen and walking the dragon and snake, and after a while, he will fill in all the places he should fill.

The official on duty took a look at it and praised: "Good calligraphy!" ”

Xu Boyi was anxious, and it was not good to rush too much, so he just laughed dryly, and the official on duty carefully reviewed it, nodded and said, "Okay!" No problem, father-in-law, please wait a moment, and the official will send it to Scholar Yu for review. ”

Xu Boyi almost bit his tongue and exclaimed, "Do you want Yu University Scholar to review it?" ”

The official on duty looked at him strangely and said, "Such a major matter naturally has to be reviewed by scholars, how dare this official call the shots." ”

Xu Boyi smiled and said: "Cheng Chengcheng, okay, yes, Lord Lao hurry up, our family is in a hurry, in a hurry!" ”

Xu Boyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and licked his lips as he spoke, only to feel that his mouth was dry. The official on duty was not in a hurry, but walked slowly into another hall and asked the little yellow door waiting in the hall to wake up Scholar Yu.

The person on duty tonight is Yu Youding, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, Lord Yu is not young, and the night duty is actually to prevent an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with, although there is not a single urgent matter that needs to be dealt with overnight in ten or eight years, but this system cannot be abolished.

Therefore, Lord Yu took a nap on the Luohan couch in the pavilion at night, and asked Xiao Huangmen to wait under the hall. If there is a real emergency, call him up. Scholar Yu was woken up by the little yellow doorman, and said in surprise: "Is there something urgent?" ”

The little yellow man told him that there was an official on duty who asked to see him, and Scholar Yu did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got up and rushed to the front hall, and the junior official on duty came forward to meet him, told him about the matter, and then handed the emperor's edict and the application form filled out by Xu Boyi to Scholar Yu.

Scholar Yu frowned: "Yu Xiaobai is out of the palace on business, and he can be released!" ”

Senior Yu stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said, "Call him in!" ”

A moment of effort. Xu Boyi hurriedly came in, and Senior Yu said: "The emperor's edict, this official has already read it, what is the official doing when the father-in-law leaves the palace?" ”

Xu Boyi hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's not a secret, today there is a lady who is staying at Concubine Chen's place, and she suddenly fell seriously ill, and the emperor is calling the imperial doctor for treatment. The emperor ordered our family to go out of the palace to pick up one of her close daughters, in case something happens. It's good to have her family by her side. ”

Yu Youding raised his eyebrows and said, "I see! Well, in that case, the official is approved! ”

Xu Boyi was overjoyed. Hurriedly picked up the form and said, "Please sign the scholar." ”

Scholar Yu smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry." The old man can't do this alone. It is useless for the old man to approve it, and several other people must agree to it, so that the order to open the palace gate can work! ”

Xu Boyi was so anxious that he was in the house. But there was nothing to do, so I could only smile bitterly: "That...... How many adults do you need to agree? ”

Scholar Yu wrenched his fingers and said slowly: "Jinyiwei commands Dugufang, and he is in charge of the Han generals, the scattered horsemen and the avant-garde of the government army; Cui Xinyu, the commander of the Fifth Military Battalion, who is in charge of the Fifth Military Battalion's fork and knife circumference; Huang Rui, the commander of the 3,000 battalion, is in charge of the Red Helmet General and Mingjia General of the 3,000 Battalion......"

Xu Boyi almost burst into tears when he heard this, although his tears did not fall, but his voice was choked: "Then please invite the boss, hurry up and invite them!" ”

The three conductors came quickly!

In view of the large area of the palace and the fact that the three commanders were patrolling everywhere in accordance with the rules, the three of them came one after another, and it only took an hour in total, which was really very fast.

For example, the commander Huang Ruihuang, he is in charge of the forty police booths between the palace city wall and the tube river, each police booth is a hundred zhang apart, each has ten soldiers, Huang Commander has to inspect one by one, sign the inspection book, and then continue to inspect the next police booth, but he can arrive within half an hour, it is really very fast.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The three commanders did not have the slightest objection, and the emperor's edict and Yu Daxue also nodded, why should they object?

It took more than an hour for the three commanders to gather, and it only took half a cup of tea to listen to Xu Boyi's statement, express his agreement, and solemnly sign his name on the application form that opened the palace gate.

Xu Boyi sweated through his clothes, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, snatched the form, and said to the scholar and the three commanders: "There are scholars and three adults, our family is leaving, thank you, thank you!" ”

Dugu Fang asked loudly, "Where is Grandpa Yu?" ”

Xu Boyi hurriedly snatched it out without looking back, and said, "Get out of the palace!" ”

Cui Xinyu, the commander of the fifth military camp, said: "Father-in-law Yu, you can't get out of the palace like this!" ”

Xu Boyi had just stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and when he heard this, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell on his heels, he staggered two steps and stopped, turned around and asked in surprise: "Why can't you get out of the palace?" ”

Scholar Yu twisted his beard and replied leisurely: "This still needs to be approved and sealed by His Majesty the Emperor to be effective!" ”

Xu Boyi was stunned and said, "Didn't the emperor already give an order?" ”

Scholar Yu Zhengse said: "The emperor's edict is not a formal document, the old man saw the emperor's edict, so he was willing to seal and approve it, but this official document to open the palace door must be stamped with the official seal of His Majesty the emperor before it can take effect." ”

Xu Boyi looked at Scholar Yu in amazement, and after watching for a long time, he realized that this scholar was really not joking with him.

……

Emperor Wanli browsed through a book, yawned, slowly closed his eyes, the little eunuch next to him looked at it, quickly took a thin bed, gently put it on his body, Wanli was woken up by a slight movement, opened his sleepy eyes and said, "What time is it?" ”

At this time, Xu Boyi slipped through the door and flashed in, Wanli thought he was dazzled, and when he looked at it, it was really him, and he couldn't help but sit up happily and asked, "Xiaobai, you're back!" What about Miss Yingying? ”

Xu Boyi trembled and held up a piece of paper and stammered, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, please also ask the Emperor to stamp a seal on this official document, slaves and maids...... Slaves and maids can get out of the palace......"
