Volume 1 Chapter 134 Officials
The two talked closely, so they switched ox carts and sat together.
A team of Taiping cars carrying rice in front of them were inspected, so the truck, the doorman still inspected it, and when it was Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan's turn, they were immediately released by just showing the exam card.
Passing through the two city gates, the urn city between the city gates is a long straight street up to 100 steps wide, new taverns, old teahouses, high and low eaves overlapped, pedestrians are dense, shops open windows and doors to welcome customers, dense stalls selling all kinds of groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables.
The rarest thing is that there are old trees everywhere, either on the side of the road, or in the courtyard, or on the corner of the street.
The two women looked at each other and were surprised: "It's warm."
Ye Qing smiled, this is actually a large array that envelops the entire imperial capital, the white marble city wall that stretches for hundreds of miles is the ritual, and the imperial city is the core, with # Thousands of miles of three rock lava veins and seven spring spiritual veins as the source.
"Adjust winter to spring, summer to autumn" is a bit exaggerated, but it is not difficult to go up or down about five degrees, especially to take care of the north of the city - the concentration area of the imperial palace, government office, and Taoist workshop.
Most of the Taoist products are harsh on the environment, and millions of people outside the imperial capital are engaged in large-scale chemical business, and they are still in the human realm, and the north of the city is already a blessed land in the world
"The essence of this capital is the greatest place in the world for the benefit of people, otherwise how can it be known as the place where the nine nights are connected? Legend has it that there is a way to heaven at the spiritual eye of the underground molten vein and water vein array, but no one has ever seen it. Ye Qing introduced with a smile: "This is not a matter of one generation, it took three dynasties to repair and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build, and the one who must be qualified to see must be the important minister of the country......
I secretly thought in my heart, in the L century of the earth, there is no such exaggerated project, this is the privilege of the Dao Law manifestation world.
"It's too much" Fu Chengshan didn't smile at this time, and said coldly.
Seeing Ye Qing stunned, he continued: "I said that this is too much, it is said that this project cost 30 billion taels of silver, although it is shared for thousands of years, this is not a small number, and even the previous two dynasties reduced the national ancestry, there is this reason - the former Emperor Deqing is about to die and is still cultivating, I really don't know what the reason is for the road, is it for enjoyment, the people's livelihood of the country is gone?"
"Don't look at the prosperity of the imperial capital, but the states and counties are different, the population is multiplying, the land is annexed, the tenant rent is too heavy, the government is corrupt, the rent is resistant, and there are even sporadic killings and rebellions - there is more and more anger in this society. Speaking of this, Fu Chengshan exhaled deeply: "If this Baiyujing project is not completed, I, as a son, will resolutely write to the imperial court to depose this project and avoid the mistake of the society."
Ye Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Fu Chengshan at this time, he was still an angry young man, seeing that he was still resentful, he exhaled roughly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Land annexation is a matter of no way, even if there is no land, there is also an asset annexation ......."
Seeing Fu Chengshan's eyes, Ye Qing ignored it, remembered the events of his previous life, had some thoughts in his heart, and said slowly: "As for this project, enjoyment is a trivial matter, or there is a deep meaning. ”
Seeing that Fu Chengshan seemed to be unbelieving, Ye Qing coughed lightly and said: "Think about it, this great project, inherited for thousands of years, has gone through three dynasties, how many important ministers, how many people with lofty ideals, how many heroes and heroes, what you can see, they can't see it? Why is there only the voice of the people, but not the voice of the court?"
"Besides, in the past three dynasties, thirty-seven generations of emperors, there are virtuous and foolish, but no one has proposed anything for the sake of enjoyment?" Ye Qing said this with a smile, then withdrew his smile and sighed: "The water in here is deep, you should not move lightly, so as not to be convicted inexplicably, besides, even if you want to play, you have to figure out the beginning and the end, and it is not for people to be confused about the playing......
Speaking of this, Ye Qing smiled wryly, and didn't say more, but his heart was cold, if he guessed right, then thousands of years ago, Daojun had already expected the catastrophe and made all kinds of preparations.
As I said, the water is too deep.
Fu Chengshan listened, was stunned for a long time, and sighed in his heart: "Sixteen years old, now only seventeen years old, just like this, how does this Ye Qing's mind grow?"
Seeing that Ye Qing seemed sad and happy, he asked, "What are you still thinking?"
Ye Qing waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you see, it's going to rain, I don't know if Lu Dao can get to the Ministry of Rites."
The sky is overcast, shrouded in the imperial capital, it looks dark and gloomy, the coachman also saw it, and hurriedly drove forward, but although the road in the south of the city is wide, but there are too many pedestrians, and it is too crowded, so it is necessary to prevent accidents at any time, the coachman carefully drives the carriage through the gap between cattle and horses, and everyone no longer talks.
When we arrived in the north of the city, the flow of people became sparse, and the last one stopped across the street, and the coachman smiled: "Childe, we can't go any further."
Ye Qing let Jiang Zinan still sit in the car, and walked over with Fu Chengshan, and before he passed, he listened to the sound of the rain of "brushing", and there was a sound.
It's just that the eaves here are wide and thick, and it is rare for rain to hit the body, but Ye Qing knows the road, and after a short time, the eaves and arches, and the golden triple building door appears in front of him.
The two governments and seven offices of the imperial court are in the imperial city, Ye Qing did not dare to watch the dragon vein of the imperial city at this time, which is very easy to encounter the counterattack of the dragon qi, but as a lifter, there is no problem to look at the center of the country.
At this time, I saw in the eyes of heaven that the rolling golden gas gathered up, and the gas turned into a rich blue and purple, although it was not as good as when it was in its heyday, it also had a great gas phase.
The vermilion gate was open, and a row of armor soldiers stood solemnly, their eyes were flat and did not squint, Ye Qing saw a look, he didn't realize it when he cultivated shallow in his previous life, but now he looks like the same kind of induction.
These horizontal classes in front of the palace all have the peak strength of martial arts, and they are not as good as first-class masters when they are put in the rivers and lakes, but they are really more than ten people fighting in battle formations, and the so-called first-class masters can only be abused, which is not counting Taoism.
"The exam-taker showed the gold medal and waited in line. At this time, there was an eight-grade civil official who shouted in a low voice, guiding the lifter to a side hall, at this time, there were already some lifters waiting in front, everyone bowed down one by one to obey the order, and walked towards the hall step by step, Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan also followed in at this time, not daring to say more.
These civil officials in the Ministry of Officials are all wearing scarlet robes, and they are all eight-grade, and the eight-rank is only a low-level petty official in the capital, but they still have a sense of superiority in the central department, and their attitude towards Ye Qing and these outsiders is also light, but the speed of handling is not slow.
After a while, I entered the hall, as soon as I entered, I felt warm, there were calligraphy and paintings hanging inside, a seven-grade official was sorting out the documents in front of the case, there was a golden rooster on the case, this is the supervision of the magic weapon, according to the grade and have different effects, but the appearance is basically the same.
A few officials of the eight or ninth grades around carefully checked the documents and pasted small signatures one by one.
"It's really enjoyable" At this time, even Ye Qing scolded secretly, when he entered here, not only was there no cold at all, but with the warm breeze, it was also a little hot, which was equivalent to the earth's central air conditioning.
A group of people stood in front of the copywriter, and some people were a little stupid and looked around like they were going into the city, but soon, it was Ye Qing's turn.
At this time, Ye Qing handed over the household registration deed file, this seven-grade civil official, flipped it over, raised his head, and said in surprise: "Xie Yuan, sixteen years old?"
"I'm a student, but I'm seventeen years old this year. Ye Qing bowed, and handed over a letter of recommendation, gold medal, and gold seal issued by the state government.
The golden rooster magic weapon on the copywriting "snapped" and pecked on the seal, showing Ye Qing's appearance, and at the same time, there was a fluctuation in the dark, which was the gods checking the breath.
After a while, the golden rooster raised his head and proved his identity, and the seven-rank civil official was a little emotional, looking very easy-going, looking at Ye Qing and saying: "Fifteen-year-old middle boy, seventeen-year-old middle talent and juren, you are really energetic, all in one go."
"But if you have this talent, why don't you be a twelve-year-old middle school?"
"Thanks to the auspicious words of the adult, there are twelve-year-old middle school children, and it is the Fu brother in the back" Ye Qing didn't know whether the words of the seven civil officials were positive or negative, but they didn't matter, they just answered.
Besides, how can I be a child at the age of twelve?
The person in the back was a little impatient, but when he heard that the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him was still a state solution, it was not caused by a tender face or Taoism, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The seven-grade official looked at Fu Chengshan again and said: "Another prodigy, if it is a human collection"
He laughed again, then took out a document from the case, added them one by one, and said: "February 18 is the palace exam, you have to remember it." ”
"Also, you don't have an inn yet, the imperial capital is mixed, you newcomers, it's best to go to a few inns designated by the imperial court, the cooks, the courtyard, and the manpower are all clean, and the protection of the armor soldiers, it is worry-free, if something happens outside and the exam is delayed, it is self-inflicted." ”
This is a pointer, although Ye Qing knew the way, but he still listened patiently to what he said, and responded: "Yes, thank you for your advice, the students are grateful." ”
At this time, all the formalities are completed, and a jade plaque is in hand.
This jade plate has a dragon pattern, with a kind of fluctuation, Ye Qing knew that with this jade plate, during the examination period, many places in the imperial capital can be entered and exited.
The guards and gods who patrol will also pay extra attention to safety.
After taking it, he went out of the official office, and after waiting for a few minutes, Fu Chengshan came out and took the jade plate: "This is the third time I have got this jade card, if I don't win this time, I will be ashamed." ”
Ye Qing smiled: "Brother Fu is so talented, how can he always be on the list-by the way, where does Brother Fu live?"
"Since it is a designated tribute store, it is so safe. ”
"Let's go together. ”
went out and walked along the eaves, but it didn't rain, and when I got outside, I saw the car parked at the intersection, and the driver and family members were also sheltering from the rain, so Ye Qing held the jade card in his hand and shook it, and the eyes of Jiang Zinan and Zhou Ling suddenly lit up: "This is the palace test jade card?"
Saying that, he leaned up and looked at it, and he couldn't put it down, Fu Chengshan was a little surprised, but this is what a young man looks like, and he was really too old just now.
Zhou Ling asked after a while, "Childe, are you going to find an inn?"
"No, the imperial court has an inn dedicated to receiving people who enter Beijing, which is not far from an auspicious place, and it is free to stay......"
"Is it so good?" Influenced by their son-in-law's style of behavior, they don't believe that there is a free lunch in the world.
"You will know the reason when you see it...... Ye Qing finished speaking, and waved his hand: "Brother Fu, please"
"Please"
The two of them got into the car and ran into the distance.
