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 had been smiling, and at this time he was 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 in the future: "The two gentlemen are 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 the two of them each had a piece of silver, and when they tore it open, they were all snow silver chains, five taels each, and ten 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, there are people in the palace coming here, and the two of you should go out to greet them!" Listening to the approaching noise, Zhang Yi came back and reminded him loudly.

He Xin and Ma Yuan glanced at each other, nodded and went out, and when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they happened to see a group of people walking over.

Responsible, followed behind to watch the excitement, far away, walking in front of a few soldiers in armor, 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 down: "It turned out to be Father-in-law Qian, 1 Bu people have 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 more, 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 said yes, "Exactly!"

At this time, "the innkeeper and the shopkeeper received news that a eunuch from the palace had come to deliver a message to the two guests in the inn.

This was the first time that the edict was passed on in their inn, and the innkeeper and the shopkeeper listened to it, and they were more moved 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.

Father-in-law 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, the people present, no matter who they were, knelt down with a "snap".

Father-in-law Qian read it. Message: "The king has a decree, a congratulatory letter, Ma Yuan, known as knowledgeable, a special order to see it immediately, admire 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 national character face hidden in the crowd listened to this decree and changed slightly.

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 inner shì and palace maids, all saluting to Grandpa Qian, the two didn't dare to go over to see more, 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 commanded at this time: "When you get to the palace, don't lose your manners!"

The two of them responded, but suddenly felt that the two tuǐ were a little soft, 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 ancient, 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.

"Gentlemen, please wait here, the king will come over later." 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 the things involved in politics, but they did speak.

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 was the sound of footsteps from time to time, this was the voice of the patrol guards, and there were still a few guards standing at the door, all with serious expressions and motionless.

There is also a corridor corridor outside, and there are word girls and eunuchs standing all over the place, looking at this kind of "congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan, I only feel that I have been studying for ten years in the cold window, and the condensed breath is nothing here" was thinking, and I heard a sound of footsteps outside, listening to the sound, it was not shì wei who came over.

The sound of shì Wei's voice, which they have heard a little familiar, is the sound of neatness, every step, there is a sound of footsteps this time, some light and some heavy, some fast and some slow.

At this time, Youhe Xin and Ma Yuan "both raised their heads and looked at each other."

He, "The minister has seen the king!" As the salutes outside came and went, Father-in-law Qian greeted him in small steps, and went over to salute at the same time as the people came in. "Get up, have you 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 wearing a yellow robe, and under his feet was a pair of thick boots, "a red sè belt was tied around his waist", and his eyes were deep, and before they had time to think about it, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Wang Hongyi walked past them, as usual, sat in front of the bookcase, pulled out the pen holder, at this time, a eunuch immediately stepped forward, grinding ink, at this time, only then did he say lightly: Mr. Wawei, free from 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 this age is swept half of today, unheard of in history, if the world can be unified within 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, rigid and straight, this is the qi of loyalty, and the main xìng is strong.

Ma Yuan's breath on the top is much softer, the white gas lingers, and the middle vomits reddish, this is the breath of culture.

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." ”

, "Dao also, the instrument of the armillary sky, the beginning of the yīn yang, the second division of the virtue, the heart of the emperor, should be obedient to the heavens, do not make the gaps, the virtues are connected up and down, and the country of the concentric is also dispelled"

"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 you méng learning, so you can learn well, just fill it, remember to only open méng learning, not sī teaching, so as not to bring great disaster to you." ”

The two of them knelt down in a cold sweat and "snapped": "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 prince and the princess, 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 start the méng, you can't have no name, Lone will give you the official position of Zheng Jiupin Ru Linlang, reward each with 100 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 official uniform, as well as the palace card for entering and exiting, be careful, don't lose it." ”

and he sent out a eunuch.

The two responded, followed the eunuch out, only to see the snow huā getting bigger, all the way to the white jade and jade column, the majestic palace was heavy, and the nine major gates were all standing on duty, and they all became snowmen, standing in the snow without moving.

The two stepped on the snow, did not speak for a while, and did not stand until they left the imperial city, and then opened the small bag, which was a clerk's document to tell him, and his name had already been written, and there was a silver medal, which was a certificate for entering the palace, and finally there was a silver ticket, which was one hundred taels. @。
