Chapter 274: Jin Jian (II)
Zhang Yi hurriedly returned the salute, for these two scholars who were valued by the master, he didn't dare to climb high, let alone put on a shelf, he was smiling all the time, and at this time he became more and more friendly with a smile, and even said: "Don't dare, don't dare!"
Laughing, the three of them entered, and the guy had already left.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Yi no longer beat around the bush, and said to the future: "The two gentlemen are both from home, and Mr. He has traveled thousands of miles, and the journey has been hard. ”
"My lord is grateful for the two diligent kings, specially sent me to send Cheng Yi, the lord said, this money is nothing, although the gentleman's friendship is as light as water, but this is water, Jinling City is not easy to live in, the cost is large, the two will be the face of the saint in the future, there is something to deal, always have some decency. ”
Said very directly and refreshingly, with a generous attitude, the two servants took out the two letters of silver and handed them over to the two, and the two did not postpone it, and hurriedly thanked Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi finished his work and said goodbye.
Zhang Yi went out, and each of them had a piece of silver, and when he tore it open, he saw that it was all snow silver ingots, five taels each, and ten taels each.
Just as he was about to laugh, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.
After a while, the man who led the way returned to the courtyard, and ran directly to the door, shouting inside: "Mr. He, Mr. Ma, there are two father-in-laws from the palace!"
Hearing what the guy said, the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan were stunned, and Zhang Yi, who was about to leave, was stunned.
"Two gentlemen, listen to the voice, someone in the palace is coming here, let's go out to greet you!" Listening to the approaching noise, Zhang Yi came back and reminded him.
He Xin and Ma Yuan glanced at each other, nodded and walked out, and when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they happened to see a group of people walking over.
It can be seen that following behind is to watch the excitement, far away, a few soldiers in armor who walked in front, protecting a white-faced man, came to them.
As soon as the white-faced man spoke, he heard that it was a eunuch in the palace, with a shrill voice and a smile on his face.
"Yo, Steward Zhang is also there?" The eunuch obviously knew Zhang Yi, glanced at him, and immediately said.
Zhang Yi looked at the person who came, and hurriedly bowed: "It turned out to be Father-in-law Qian, the villain has seen Father-in-law Qian!"
Zhang Yi is the housekeeper of the prime minister's family, and he knows this person, this person is the father-in-law Qian who often comes to the mansion to call people or pass orders, and has a nine-grade official body.
"Steward Zhang is too polite, I wanted to talk to you a few more words, but the Sprinkle family came this time, but there is a will!" As he spoke, Father-in-law Qian looked at the two who rushed over and asked, "Are you congratulatory letters and Ma Yuan?"
The two of them hurriedly came over and promised: "Exactly!"
At this time, the innkeeper and the shopkeeper got the news that there was a eunuch from the palace who had come to deliver the message to the two guests in the inn.
This is the first time that the edict has been passed on in their inn, and the innkeeper and the shopkeeper listened to it, and they were more excited than the parties concerned, and for a moment, they didn't know how to know, but they also made a simple incense case for them.
Gonggong Qian nodded, and stood south behind the incense case: "Congratulatory letter, Ma Yuan listens to the order!"
"Congratulatory letter, listen to the oracle!"
"Ma Yuan, listen to the holy oracle!"
And at this time, everyone present, no matter who it was, knelt down with a "snap".
Gonggong Qian read the edict: "The king has a decree, a congratulatory letter, Ma Yuan, and he is knowledgeable, and he has a special order to see him immediately, and he admires this!"
Not only the two of them could hear it, but the people kneeling in the distance could understand it.
The people did not know about the inner city a few days ago, and although they heard the rumors, they only laughed, but now they only felt that these two were really good, and that the king knew about them and summoned them.
At this time, a face with a Chinese character hidden in the crowd changed color slightly after hearing this purpose.
The man's gaze was fixed on the eunuch, as if he wanted to see something on his face, but in the end he found nothing.
Congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan, someone had already prepared a carriage for them, and when they left the hotel, Father-in-law Qian got into a carriage, the two got into a carriage, and more than a dozen riders were sick and protected, leaving the Cai family inn and heading towards the inner city.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when the group of people walked to the palace gate, the sun rose high, and they stopped at the palace gate for a while, and someone came to check, and saw that it was the person summoned by the king, and they were quickly released.
Walked into the palace below, and when I entered the palace, I saw a large group of chamberlains and palace maids, all saluting to Grandpa Qian, and the two didn't dare to go over to see more, so they waited silently, and after a while, they entered a palace again.
At this time, it was snowing again, that is, snow particles, sprinkled with the wind, and a thin layer was spread on the ground at this moment, even so, the yellow glazed tiles on the palace, the copper crane and copper unicorn in the courtyard were still luxurious.
Father-in-law Qian stopped laughing at this time, made a wooden face, and led the two to a place.
There is a hall here, not big, but there are more than dozens of people to meet, and Father-in-law Qian ordered at this time: "When you get to the palace, don't lose your manners!"
The two responded, but suddenly felt that their legs were a little weak, this is the palace!
I followed into the hall, the ground was full of bright gold bricks, and there was a magnificent decoration, with a brilliant royal atmosphere, I followed carefully and entered the back study.
Before walking in, I couldn't see that there were so many books inside, it looked antique, and the furnishings were less luxurious and more elegant.
The brazier was placed against the corner of the wall inside, crackling and burning incense in the incense burner, and the whole room was filled with a refreshing warm fragrance.
There were eight eunuchs standing in the study, all of whom did not squint and said nothing.
"Wait here, gentlemen, both gentlemen, and the king will come over in a moment. Father-in-law Qian said, let them wait here.
No matter how bold the two are, they can only promise at this time.
Although they felt that the furnishings in the room were rare, the two of them did not dare to look at it indiscriminately, this was not a place to be presumptuous.
On the way, Father-in-law Qian chatted briefly with the two for a while, and what they said was trivial, none of which involved politics, but they finally spoke.
When I entered the study, I saw that Father-in-law Qian was standing with his hands down, and there was no longer the slightest appearance of talking and laughing.
In the corridor not far away, there were footsteps from time to time, which was the voice of the patrol guards, and there were several guards standing at the door, all with serious expressions and motionless.
There is a corridor aisle outside, and there are palace maids and eunuchs standing all over the place, looking at this, He Xin and Ma Yuan, only feel that they have been studying for ten years, and the condensed breath is nothing here, just thinking about it, I heard a burst of footsteps outside, listening to the sound, it was not the guards who came over.
The voice of the guards, which they had already heard, was a neat voice, and every step had a look at the specifications.
This time, the footsteps were light and heavy, fast and slow.
At this moment, Congratulatory Letter and Ma Yuan both raised their heads and glanced at each other.
"The minister has seen the king!" As the sound of salutes outside came and went, Father-in-law Qian greeted him in small steps, and bowed at the same time as people came in.
"Get up, they've been invited?" asked the man who had entered, his eyes falling on him.
At this time, He Xin and Ma Yuan were also observing the people who came in, although they were only taking a look at the time, they had already seen the people clearly.
The eyes of the two suddenly lit up, and they saw that the king was dressed in a yellow robe, with a pair of thick boots under his feet, a red belt tied around his waist, and deep eyes.
Wang Hongyi walked past them, as usual, sat in front of the bookcase, pulled out the pen holder, at this time, immediately a eunuch stepped forward and sharpened the ink, at this time, he said lightly: "Two gentlemen, no courtesy." ”
"Thank you, Wangshang!" He Xin and Ma Yuan thanked him, stood up, but secretly thought in his heart, this Wang Shangguo is young, I heard that he is only twenty-four years old this year, and he has swept half the world at this age, which is unheard of in history, if he can unify the world in a few years, this alone can be famous through the ages.
The snow light hurt his eyes, and he lit the lamp again, the light was bright and soft, Wang Hongyi looked at the two people in front of him, nodded slightly, and saw it in Wang Hongyi's eyes.
On the top of the congratulatory letter, a trace of white and red qi rushed straight into the sky, strong and straight, this is the spirit of loyalty, and the main character is strong.
Ma Yuan's breath on the top is much softer, the white gas lingers, and the middle vomit is reddish, this is the atmosphere of culture, the main person has a mediocre personality, and he knows people.
Just looking at it this way, there is still some style and foundation, Wang Hongyi smiled, saw that the ink was polished, and wrote on Bai Xuan with a pen.
"Set the rules, form the size, measure all things, record them in detail, summarize them, and push them to act, so it is said to be the way." ”
"The Tao is also, the instrument of the armillary sky, the beginning of yin and yang, the second division of virtue, the heart of the emperor, obey the heavens, do not make the gaps, the virtues are connected up and down, and the concentric ones are also the country."
"In virtue is not in people, virtue is always in and people alternate, it is the old virtue is always there, and the new virtue is Xinxin. ”
After writing and browsing again under the lamp, I was very satisfied, my words improved a little, I took out a small seal from my arms, the bell was on, rolled up, and began to ask some things.
Although he asked casually, it was not a big deal, but the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan were still sweating.
The two of them didn't stay in the study for a long time, Wang Hongyi asked a few words, and said: "If you want to open up a palace school, you will call it a study, and you need a few teachers to teach Mengxue, you can learn well, just fill it, remember to only open Mengxue, not teach privately, so as not to bring disaster to you." ”
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt down with a "snap": "Don't dare!"
Wang Hongyi didn't shout, stood up and paced, this is not to invite the prince and the prince, let alone the master and the Taibao, this is just enlightenment, I hope these two people can understand this, after a long time, nodded and said: "You get up, you enter the palace to enlighten, you can't have no name, Lone will give you the official position of the Nine Rank Ru Linlang, reward each with a hundred taels of silver, Lone will have a meal, you can retreat!"
In other words, in fact, Wang Hongyi's body is still weak, and he can't be the same as before, and he met with the cabinet in the morning, and he came back after saying a few words, and now he is waving his hand.
The two hurriedly knelt three times and bowed nine times and exited the study.
When they got outside, they were hit by the snow, and the two woke up from a big dream and looked at each other.
At this time, Father-in-law Qian came out again, gave the two of them a small bag, and said: "This is the farewell body, as well as the palace card for entering and exiting, be careful, don't lose it, and go to get the official uniform!"
and he sent out a eunuch.
The two responded, followed the eunuch out, only to see the snowflakes become bigger, all the way to the white jade and jade columns, the majestic palace is heavy, and the nine major gates are standing with guards on duty, and they all become snowmen, standing in the snow without moving.
The two stepped on the snow, did not speak for a while, the garment room is in the imperial city, not far from the palace, to pass through here, you need to pass through the hall first, when the two pass by the hall, they turned their heads again to see, they can't help but be shocked by the grandeur of the hall, thinking that they may have the opportunity to do things here in the future, in and out of this place, I can't help but feel more and more hot in my heart.
