After the first emperor of Beimang ascended the throne, he thought he had done four major things, unifying the imperial court, building more than 600 post stations, digging wells where there was no water, and setting up red army guards in major army towns. Today's female emperor usurps the throne but does not change the government. In addition to continuing to work hard on these four things, she has also done two things conscientiously, namely, separating the military and civilians, that is, the separation of local military and civilian finances, and setting taxes and household registration. Other similar establishments to encourage farmers Division, compiled "Nongsang Collection". Beimang's civil service system is far less perfect than that of the Spring and Autumn Central Plains. For any matter, the emperor himself has to expend a lot of energy to do everything personally. Therefore, in Xu Fengnian's view, wearing a dragon robe is really unattractive, and it is difficult for every family to read. According to the classics, the emperor surnamed Zhao of the Liyang Dynasty governed with a degree of diligence, and it is said that the average daily Zhu Zhu writing has reached thousands of words in these years. You must know that this is an emperor who owns the world, not pursuing Literati and scholars whose works are equal to their own body. Not to mention anything else, just the court meeting, sitting at the gate of the court every day to deal with all the big and small matters of the three provinces and six ministries and departments, makes those people who think that being an emperor is just Sangong and Liuyuan daunting.
At the end of spring, during the Grain Rain season, the heavy rain was majestic and splashed in the city of Tai'an.
Previously, the capital did not have the custom of posting the talisman of the celestial master banning scorpions, but with the rise of Qingci Prime Minister Zhao Danping in the capital, and folk praises, especially after the example of the emperor, the custom of cinnabar script talisman banning scorpions has spread all over the city. Ordinary people go to Taoist temples and spend tens of pennies to buy talismans, and they spend money to seek peace of mind. Wealthy families naturally have a way to let Daoist real people draw talismans with their own handwriting, and the tall mansions are all sent by the wise old gods in the Grand View of the capital to send stacks of vermilion talismans to the door. Giving tea is no different. At this time, there was still a short time before the dawn of the fifth watch, a man wearing a big red python robe was walking in the deep palace, holding a few yellow-bottomed vermilion talismans that were completely different from ordinary forbidden scorpion talismans, and the other hand was drooping. In the sleeve, I carried an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.
Slowly walking through the aisle to the North Gate of the Xuanwu Palace, the man has no eyebrows or beard, a head of snow-white hair, two strands of long snow-like hair hanging in front of the bright red python robe, the hand holding the amulet and exploring the sleeve, at first glance, is only trimmed. Such as a woman is fair and slender, looking closely at the cuffs there are wireless red threads like a slender snake twisting and swaying. Although it was Grain Rain, probably because of the proximity to the lake, after the shower, there was a lot of frogs nearby. There is a more bulging room in Xuanwu of the North Gate and a more sloppy one. Each has a hard-working eunuch on duty. Although the hair is like frost, this eunuch in python has a well-maintained face and looks like a middle-aged man. His footsteps are silent. Breathless, like a red cat catching mice walking in the night. There are only a handful of eunuchs in the palace who are qualified to wear red python clothes. In terms of official titles, the eunuchs headed by the fourth-rank eunuchs who handle the ceremony and the eunuchs who are the second-rank eunuchs hold the pen. Although Wan eunuch is an exaggerated imaginary number, it also shows that there are many eunuchs in the Zhao family that controls the world. This eunuch, whose attire was enough to be called Diaosi from a close look, came to Xuanwu Gate and pasted up Zhu Dan talismans with a picture of a rooster pecking at a scorpion. Before entering the palace, he had no money to enter a private school or a private school. After entering the palace, he followed the master and was too busy to learn to read and write. Later, the master became the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, probably to avoid suspicion, so he didn't have to study. Mind for a few books.
Standing under the door, looking at the talisman written by Zhao Danping of Longhushan, the eunuch moved his lips slightly, and said three words that no one could hear, "Ghost drawing talisman."
He looked up at the sky, and there was going to be a heavy rain, but it was a pity for those newly red peach blossoms and green shoots, so he walked back silently with an umbrella. The fourth watch is approaching, and when the Kelou room is approaching, an old eunuch on duty hurriedly ran to the Genggu room with a time card with gold characters on a blue background. To show respect, even the eunuchs in the room who had not closed the door should get up when they see it. In the eyes of the world, the eunuch is a profession that is covered by clouds and mist. There are too many rules and particularities. Once, a great eunuch of Sheng Enzhenglong bumped into the eunuch on duty and missed the knock. That great eunuch used to be the team leader It has become the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor, and father and son match each other in private. The eunuch on duty was bitten back and beaten to death. Later, Han Diao Temple learned that not only this eunuch who was in great demand, but also the eunuch with the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor were lynched and skinned , And this kind of big event that even the court ministers are terrified, His Majesty the Emperor, who is accustomed to handling family and state affairs, just laughed it off, and dismissed the impeachment of the censor's officials as a widow's family affairs. At this time, the old eunuch who was going to the Genggu Room to deliver the time card was originally immersed in the respect and courtesy of all the eunuchs wherever he went. When he saw the white hair in the big red python robe turning around the corner, his hair exploded instantly. , not daring to stay, just bent down and bowed his head, making big steps into small steps, but speeding up the pace so that the speed did not increase but decreased. The white-haired red python eunuch slightly slanted his shoulders, and the two eunuchs with very different identities passed by. The old eunuch didn't even dare to breathe. Hey, why isn't he afraid? When the new prince who was left behind by the people entered the palace, the one behind him killed more than 400 eunuchs who dared to discuss the identity of the prince in private. Among them was the confidant of the twenty-four yamen The eunuch, the leader of a war bureau.
This red python eunuch with bloody wrists is naturally the head of one hundred thousand eunuchs, Renmao Han Diaosi, who is also known as one of the three evils of the dynasty along with Rentu Xu Xiao and Huang Sanjia.
When the five watch drums sounded, it was dawn.
At the first sound of water dripping in nine quarters, a young eunuch with quick legs and feet rushed to the palace gate to announce that dawn had arrived. Thousands of red lanterns were hung high almost at the same instant, illuminating a palace brightly lit and full of life. Han Diaosi walked gently among them, and when the second sound of Jiukeshui came, he happened to arrive in front of the emperor's imperial court. After entering the room, he kept his head down, and could only see a pair of yellow and purple boots from Shangyijian. Except for the color that implies nobleness, it is no different from the cotton shoes of ordinary families. The man in the room was served by Yujing people to put on the yellow dragon robe. Hearing the sound of rain outside the window, the man laughed softly.
Han Diaosi bent over, with two strands of drooping hair almost touching the cool bluestone floor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince asked someone to send some toons before the rain into the palace yesterday."
The man didn't make a sound, the atmosphere in the room was stagnant, only the rumble of rain outside the window could be heard, after a long time, he smiled and said: "Although the toon is as tender as silk before the rain, he obviously gave it to you as a master, and it has nothing to do with me, you Just don’t add to the liking.”
Han Diao Si stooped lower.
The man took off a yellow and purple cotton shoe and threw it on the big eunuch, he laughed and said helplessly, "Just take three catties."
Han Diaosi in red python clothes nodded, Bai Xue's hair was bent on the floor, picked up the padded shoes, trotted a few steps, and handed them to Yuqian Jingren, then retreated a few steps, stood in place, and used the eunuch's special With a soft voice, but compared to some eunuchs who are more feminine and permeable, they are a bit more mellow, and whispered: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the sixth prince only gave two catties of Chinese toon."
The man who had just taken the cotton shoes and was about to put them on by himself threw them over again, and scolded with a smile: "Then bring two catties, you are a master, you are not so lucky."
The eunuch Zhang Baoxi and several giant eunuchs who were all red pythons were already waiting quietly outside the door, standing in the middle of the corridor, the wind blew and the rain slanted, the heavy rain hit the railing, splashed into the corridor, and the shoe uppers were soon soaked. These great eunuchs are the ultimate eunuchs from the fourth rank to the fourth rank. They are waiting to follow His Majesty to the south. The Temple of the Golden Luan to participate in today's morning court.
Before the court, there will be a few newly promoted living men who will join the team halfway. They are all young and new faces, but even the eunuchs have to smile at each other. It was the opposite when Nei met them and dismounted from the sedan chair.
In the early days of this dynasty, the old rule was followed, the emperor came in person, except for natural disasters, the severe cold and scorching heat continued throughout the day, but for most of the low-ranking Beijing officials, it was not too tiring, and they only needed to participate in the grand court once every five days As well as the Shuo Wang Dynasty, those officials who lived on the streets near the imperial city where the rich and powerful got up at about four o'clock, and the rest of the officials would spend every big dynasty. In the mansion compound, I am afraid that we will have to leave in the middle of the night, and pass through a small part of the capital in order not to delay the court meeting. It rained heavily today, and all civil and military officials brought raincoats when they went out. At this time, they put on raincoats and waited for the gate to open. Because it is a big court, not only princes and princes and nearly a thousand officials in Beijing, but many hereditary honored and scattered officials also came to the morning court as usual. There were fourteen to five hundred people densely packed in the rain outside the gate of the imperial city, and the raindrops the size of soybeans hit the umbrella surface with a bang.
This is a unique picture of waiting for the leak in the peaceful and prosperous age.
In this unprecedented and huge empire, countless government orders were handed over to them to reach every corner of the territory.
After the bell rang, these powerful court officials would abandon their umbrellas and move forward. After passing through the city gate, no noise or spitting is allowed, and those who are sick and coughing in front of the imperial servants are allowed to leave the court. The former is often different from person to person. The children of honored officials also ignored this. Before stepping into the palace, they would whisper and say something disrespectful to the officials of the world. It was not until Zhang Shoufu took power that this bad habit was eliminated. So more solemn and solemn. The Jinlan Pavilion of the Great Yellow Gate stood with an umbrella, still alone, and most of the Beijing officials who were quite displeased with this person privately laughed at "not standing out from the crowd, but standing out from the crowd", especially the little gentry Huangmen who jumped like a carp Lang once had diarrhea in the early morning court, and almost suffocated to death. Fortunately, Huang Menlang was not like officials below the fourth rank who only knelt outside the hall and could not enter the hall to face the saint. There was no big joke, so this Huang Menlang, who finally managed to get in touch with several big shots by selling cooked books, completely became the subject of teasing and talking among the dignitaries in the capital, especially Huan Wenyao, who led the Guozijian Zuo Jijiu. After going to Guangling Road to serve as an envoy, the only official in the capital who was willing to let the Jinhuangmen enter the gate of the fourth-rank and above officials disappeared in a large capital. Who made this kid go to Beiliang close
Jin Lanting, who stepped into the capital confidently as a replacement for the Great Yellow Gate, has long since lost his original academic vigor, polished his edges and corners, and no longer cares about the overwhelming cynicism. He clearly remembers the first time he was invited by Huan Jijiu. The second day will be met, those jealous and envious eyes. Jin Lanting stretched out a hand to the outside of the umbrella, and the raindrops hit the palm, causing a burst of pain. He had been covering his face with an oil-paper umbrella, and he held up the umbrella slightly, looking at the various officials whose every acquaintance gathered together meant a small hill, and listening to their chatter and laughter, this acquaintance Xuan Lang, who was collectively excluded by the Beijing officials, lightly He stood on tiptoe lightly, because of his noble status, he had to enter the palace in strict order according to rank, and he was able to get close to the main gate of the imperial city, so Jin Lanting saw a few conspicuous umbrellas, one of which was tall and surpassed ordinary people Zhang Julu, the first assistant with a few inches of umbrella, under the umbrella besides this big man who has been "a pillar of his own for three hundred years", there is also Sun Xiji who can not go to court but insists on going to court. It is a great honor to hold an umbrella to protect the body of old servant Sun, which is no worse than His Majesty allowing the old servant to shoot on the seat facing the court.
Jin Lanting withdrew his cold hands, lowered his eyelids, and clenched his fists.
He quietly looked at Yan Jiexi, a minister not far away who was also from Beiliang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was a relative of the emperor. The latter, who was originally the state herdsman of Beiliangling Prefecture, also happened to look over, and the eyes of both parties bounced away as soon as they touched.
Jin Lanting retracted his gaze without showing any trace, took a deep breath, and his eyes were firm. He wants to be a courtier.
And the treacherous official who is about to be impeached by him today is the Beiliang King Xu Xiao who brought him to Beijing as an official!
He knew that after the early court, no matter whether the heavy rain stopped or not, he would shake the court and the public and be famous all over the world.
At this time, Xu Fengnian transferred to Orange State.
