It has been ten days since Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, arrived in the capital. During these ten days, Xu Xiao did not visit anyone, and no one went to Xiamawei post office to submit a famous stab. It stands to reason that Xu Xiao, as a king with a different surname, is not bound by the "Zongvasor Law". There are nearly ten thousand officials, large and small, and it is best to follow suit on weekdays, that is, on the day when the rankings are released, there are not a few officials who were previously unknown in the new sciences and made friends under the guise of fellow villagers. By the side, there is no one
In fact, after a little thought, it becomes clear that in general, Zhang Shoufu led the civil servants, Gu Jiantang led the generals, and the Qing Party established itself and won a group of "stragglers".
Only with the gradual rise of the second generation of "leftovers", the earlier hatred and antagonism began to fade away, and began to integrate into the earlier three-legged confrontation. Among the eight old countries, there were divisions again. Western Shu was the closest to Qingzhou, so most of them were absorbed by the Qing Party. Chu Duo scholars naturally favor Zhang Julu, who was born in the Great Yellow Gate, the chief assistant of the dynasty, while Dongyue and other barbarian places with strong folk customs prefer General Gu Jiantang, who also thinks that this gang can fight immediately Younger generations who are under horse's poetry are more appetizing. As a result, most of the old chief ministers and the pillars of the older generation of the country are at odds with Xu Xiao. The new generation of popular officials is influenced by their ancestors and the Spring and Autumn National War. Even if they rely on rare goods to live in, they will not take the initiative to seek refuge with the King of Beiliang who lives in a corner, and most of them are divided up by the four major factions on the surface.
Of course, if Dazhu Kingdom took the initiative to look favorably, I believe that no one would refuse this great honor. Didn't Jin Lanting, a petty official in Yongzhou, become the extremely noble Dahuangmen just by relying on a letter of recommendation from Dazhu Kingdom
This morning, Xu Xiao was not late, and when he got out of the carriage, he was already wearing a blue satin five-clawed dragon python robe. In the past, when all the officials went to the court, almost all the first assistant Zhang Julu walked in first, and they always stepped on the end No one dared to cross the thunder pool behind the entry-level General Gu Jiantang.
In addition, as for who will be the second and third to enter the palace next time, I don't care too much. Generally speaking, it should be based on seniority and rank, but the battle between factions in the court is becoming more and more fierce, and it seems that there are no rules. According to the rules, most of the Gu Dang are warriors, and they look down on the defeated generals and the old people who have lost their country the most, and they don't respect the Qing Dang. However, the most powerful Zhang Dang has always been gentle and courteous. If the four factions include the two major variables of foreign relatives and eunuchs, the total Speaking of it, it really is a chaotic situation, entangled endlessly. Most of the officials in today's court meeting learned that General Gu went to Liangliao two days ago, and he was destined not to come back in a short time. This disappointed many bystanders who were looking forward to the big fight between the two famous spring and autumn generals in the Hall of Preservation and Harmony. Probably because the tigers have no leader, Gu Dang, who was used to unreasonable scrambling to get in, is very low-key today, not in a hurry to pass Zhengnan Taianmen, but staring at the old lame man in blue satin python robe.
Gu Dang stood still, and Zhang Dang stood at the door with his hands in sleeves as if waiting for someone because of Zhang Shoufu. Shoufu didn't enter, but a hunchbacked old man was walking in front of him.
Xu Xiao, who was in the tuanlong python robe, smiled and asked, "Scholar Wen, why didn't you carry the coffin to court today?"
Wen Shouxin was quite courageous, he snorted heavily, and ignored the cynicism. Earlier, he asked the old slave of the mansion to carry the coffin to the court to ask for death, impeached Beiliang King Xu Xiao for ten capital crimes, and begged His Majesty the Emperor to take his life for his life, only in exchange for Xu Xiao's death. It can be described as a feat, who among the officials and common people in the capital does not give a thumbs up? Originally, some colleagues in the Zhang Party who were slanderous about his promotion to the University of Martial Arts Hall also completely turned silent, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhang Shoufu's layout. The most violent. Zhang Julu is surprisingly not very concerned about this kind of internal friction, as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, he never intervenes. Over the years, only a handful of people have been kicked out of the Zhang Party, and their fate is tragic. They are either sent to the frontier or never hired.
Xu Xiao saw that the scholar of the Martial Arts Hall pretended to be deaf and dumb, patted his shoulder, and smiled kindly: "The imperial court needs a loyal minister like you. I heard that when the scholar of Wen University was a county official, he had a clean sleeve, was extremely clean, and even starved to death." I just heard the news in Beiliang and wondered why such an official is a low-level official. It is our Zhang Shoufu's fault. I never thought that it was only a few years before the death of Wen University scholar The two daughters have now become the University of the Martial Arts Hall in the blink of an eye. Where do the three halls and three pavilions rank? It seems that the University of Wenzhou still has a few daughters, and two more daughters. Doesn’t it mean that Zhang Shoufu has nothing to do? Not to mention the University of Martial Heroes, even the University of Baohe Palace is not the same as Mr. Wen's pocket? But it is hard to say, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Shoufu does not have many teachers. If an old Shoufu dies, he will have today's glory. Mrs. Dianwen is still not as good as him, huh? Can it be said that you two adults are both rich? Ha, this is nonsense. Both of your lords are prime ministers who are easy to pull boats, so don't go there. Go with your heart."
Wen Shouxin's face was flushed red, but he didn't dare to scold when he wanted to, feeling extremely aggrieved.
There are many Zhang Party officials around pretending to be angry, but not many people are really angry.
The chief assistant Zhang Julu was over fifty years old, but he didn't look old. The first person in the dynasty was especially praised for his appearance. He was born with purple beard and blue eyes, and was very majestic. He was nicknamed Bi Yan'er when he was young, and worked as an assistant for the old chief assistant. At that time, he was highly valued, but the old Chief Assistant was very patient and was willing to spend thirty years carving this piece of rough jade. He didn't overwhelm the seedlings and refused to promote him in the officialdom several times for his beloved disciples, and he even gave out the opportunity to be a big official in the frontier. I don't care about it, but Zhang Julu is more patient. He has been in the Huangmen for 30 years. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He has been patiently watching the political affairs of the temple. He just watches and listens, but he doesn't talk. Within two years after his death, he was promoted eleven ranks in a row, filling the vacant position of the old Chief Assistant, and even surpassing him in power.
Zhang Julu was ridiculed by Xu Xiao, but he didn't show any abnormality, and said expressionlessly: "Yang Guoshi once said that if he has a Buddha in his heart, he will regard everyone as a Buddha, and if he has excrement in his heart, he will treat things as excrement. It is said that the national teacher said this Dazhuguo was also there, I don’t know if Dazhuguo heard it in his ears or in his heart.”
Xu Xiao laughed loudly and said: "No matter what Yang Taisui said, no matter what you think, except for saying good things about me, I will treat him as bullshit."
Zhang Julu smiled lightly.
The main buildings behind the south gate of the imperial city are the three halls of the outer court and the nine palaces of the inner court. Among the three halls, the Palace of Preserving Harmony is the most expensive. For the ceremonies, His Majesty the Emperor usually went to the Tiangan Palace or the Yangshen Palace, just to show his solemnity to Xu Xiao, king of Beiliang, and the two early courts were set in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.
There are 18,000 dragon patterns in this hall, such as the dripping water on the roof tiles, the doors and windows of the outer eaves, and the golden pillars and caisson screens in the hall, which truly achieved the pilgrimage of ten thousand dragons. This is only the scale of the Hall of Preserving Harmony, spread out, there are countless dragon patterns in the imperial city.
The huge Taiwanese book in the Hall of Preserving Harmony presents the character "earth" facing south.
Starting from the south of the imperial city, the three halls are lined up on the central axis, without planting a single tree, to meet the emperor, the royal road is long, and the eunuchs and guards hide in the shadows of the strict buildings on both sides, as if there is only one person walking alone in the world, invisible There was a great pressure in it.
So when Xu Xiao, who was stained with countless blood, counted the number of steps to dispel his fear when he met the saint for the first time. The two consecutive emperors of the dynasty are both talented and powerful, and the emperor's mind is at its peak. No one dares to say that he is familiar with the holy will, which makes the courtiers feel like walking on thin ice.
Today, Zhang Julu, the blue-eyed child, intends to let Xu Xiao be the first to go to court, and Xu Xiao also did his part to walk into the majestic Que Gate first.
It seems that except Zhang Julu, everyone has forgotten that as long as the University of Baohe Hall is vacant for a day, the civil servants must respect Dazhuguo as the head.
