Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2865
Dozens of riders rode out of Chongrenfang and went straight along the street to Yanxi Gate on the east side of the imperial city. The six ministries of the imperial court and most of the central yamen were all in the imperial city.

The people along the way were walking on the street, when they suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes mixed with the clamor and shouts galloping from far to near, they were so frightened that they hurriedly avoided the side, watching this group of cavalry roaring towards them, and then swaggering in front of them. and go.

Some of the chariots couldn't dodge in time, so the cavalry split into two and galloped past on the left and right sides. Herod, the charioteer's ass, neighed in shock and almost kicked.

The nobleman in the carriage was so angry that he lifted the curtain and wanted to curse, but the coachman stopped him firmly: "That's Fang Erlang traveling!"

Only then did the nobleman severely swallow the swear words that came to his lips.

There are two people in Chang'an City that must not be offended. One is Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji. , but this guy didn't give you a chance to return to the world, he knocked you down face to face, and didn't show mercy at all...

Pei Xingjian rode along in the queue, watching this group of cavalry swaggering through the city, he not only smiled wryly, but his status has reached the status of the Duke of the state, who is not old and calm and cherishes his feathers?It is rare to be as unscrupulous as Fang Jun.

Thinking about it again, I am actually a dude, but compared to Fang Jun's ostentation, he is as obedient as a three-year-old child...

A rush of men and horses went straight to the gate of Yanxi, and the soldiers guarding the gate were so frightened that they drew their knives out of their sheaths one by one, and stood ready for battle.

Is this really trying to break into the palace to rebel?
After seeing Fang Jun surrounded by a group of cavalry, he breathed a sigh of relief. This man will never rebel.

Just looking at this posture... I'm afraid it's going to cause trouble.

The captain guarding the gate stood up in fear, and gave a respectful military salute from a long distance away. After standing up, he said loudly, "I don't know where the Duke of Yue wants to go?"

Sitting on the horse, Fang Jun held the rein in his hand, and replied: "I'm going to the official department to do some business, so please get out of the way quickly, don't delay!"

The captain guarding the gate cautiously said: "Duke Yue should know that galloping horses are strictly forbidden in the imperial city. I dare not stop the Duke of Yue, but please be considerate of my humble position, otherwise I dare not let you in..."

The imperial city and the palace city are only separated by a heavenly street, which is where the central yamen of the empire is concentrated. Although officials are not allowed to ride on horseback, it is strictly forbidden to gallop on horseback, because the slightest carelessness will injure pedestrians, and every person here Pedestrians are court officials.

This is the rule, Fang Jun nodded, turned over and jumped off the horse.

All the troops of the soldiers also jumped off their horses, and the gatekeeper captain heaved a sigh of relief, stepped aside quickly, bowed and said, "Duke Yue, please!"

Fang Jun gave a "hmm" and entered the Yanxi Gate surrounded by everyone.

The captain guarding the gate just put his heart back in his stomach, but when he looked back, he immediately brought it up again.I saw Fang Jun and the others leading their horses through the city gate, and then jumped on their horses one after another. With the sound of "cracking" the whip, the war horse raised its four hooves, and with the sound of rumbling hooves, they galloped away in the direction of the officials.

"Mother! What do you want to do with this mallet?"

The captain who guarded the gate slapped his thigh, cursed, and then hurriedly ordered his left and right: "Go quickly to the Ministry of War, Jingzhao Mansion has reported that the Duke of Yue has entered the imperial city on horseback, and headed straight for the yamen of the Ministry of Officials!"

As for Fang Jun's people in the Ministry of War, and the Jingzhao Mansion was created by Fang Jun, it doesn't matter to him whether these two yamen are in charge of this matter.

In short, if the responsibility is pushed away, the rest can only ask for blessings. I hope that the second master Fang will never make a big deal...

……

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shangshutai set up Li Cao, who was in charge of the election of shrines and sacrificial affairs. Later, it was renamed Xuanbu, which was in charge of the appointment and removal of officials. During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei was renamed the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the appointment and removal of civil officials. Let Shangshu be the chief.The two Jins were established along the way, and the leader Lang Cao may increase or decrease, and he is also in charge of the election of military officers.It became a custom in the Southern Dynasties, and it was set as one of the Six Caos of Shangshu Province. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, after many reforms, the Ministry of Officials had already jumped to the top of the six departments.

Because of its control over the power of selection, honors, and examinations for civil officials across the country, it has become the veritable No. [-] in the world!
Walking along the long street of the imperial city, there are row upon row of central yamen, one next to the other, it seems that the gates of the official department are larger than other yamen...

The sky is gloomy today, and the snowflakes are scattered sparsely. Although it is not big, it is also gloomy and cold.

The gates of the yamen of the official department are closed, and the gatekeepers are hiding in the side rooms on both sides of the yamen. Fortunately, the official business is no longer handled in the yamen as the year approaches, but the officials will finish all the affairs accumulated in a year, even if they can't The endings are also sealed up, and they will be dealt with after the next year. Therefore, only officials from the headquarters enter and exit the huge yamen, and there is no need to go out to enthroned for questioning.

"I don't know what's wrong with winter today. It snows one after another, freezing to death."

"It's okay. Since the beginning of winter, the Jingzhao Mansion has searched for dangerous houses and repaired them in cooperation with the local government. Although there have been several heavy snowfalls, the people inside and outside Chang'an have not heard that the houses collapsed and died of freezing. It’s been a good year.”

"The most important thing is that this year ends well. There are bumper harvests everywhere in the Guan, outside the Guan, Hexi and Dongdong. The people have food, so that they will not become homeless. Otherwise, as in the past, whenever a disaster occurs in a place, the people They were displaced and flocked to Chang'an, there were refugees everywhere in and outside the city, it was as if they froze to death in a heavy snowfall, tsk tsk, it's too miserable."

A few doormen were gossiping, they took off the kettle from the stove, poured boiling water into a teapot, and in an instant, the fragrance of tea wafted out, rich and mellow, it was actually a first-class tea.

There are seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, and the door of the dignified "No. [-] Department of the World" is not so easy to be. If you have no identity background, how can you get your turn?
A few people huddled by the stove, each holding a big tea cup, sipping tea, very comfortable and leisurely.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes outside, rumbling from far to near, someone said: "Well, I don't know which family's prodigal son is riding fast in the imperial city. The officials have their jobs again."

The rest of the people didn't respond, they just stared, because the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, until there was a "boom", the ground in the ear room seemed to shake, and the dust on the beams fell rustlingly, hitting several people. Menzi was in a panic.

"what's the situation?!"

The few people were startled, they quickly put down the teacups in their hands, opened the door and went out, dumbfounded.

The two huge doors have fallen from the door frames and fell into the yard. Two horseshoe marks are clearly visible on the heavy copper-wrapped door panels, and a person is riding in slowly from outside the door, and his mouth is not clear. He stopped and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the road was slippery on a snowy day, and I couldn't slow down in time, so I am very sorry for the door that crashed. Alas, you two are doorkeepers? Don't stand stupidly, lift this door aside and throw it away Hurry up and find someone to replace it with a new pair of gates, and go back to Liang Guogong's mansion to withdraw how much money you spend, and I will definitely not let you guys bear the responsibility."

The corners of the eyes of several gates twitched.

The speed of the horse was too fast, and there was no time to slow down, so you hit the gate of the official department?
This is simply an anecdote through the ages.

In particular, although the words are bright, the expression and tone are too arrogant. This is the official department, do you think it is a vegetable market?
This gate represents the face of the officials. Is that something that can be solved by paying a few dollars?
You are here to find trouble!

At that moment, a young and vigorous man took a step forward, and was about to point at the man's nose and reprimand him, but just as he took the step, he was pulled back by his colleague. Amidst his doubts, the colleague stepped forward , bowed, saluted, and accompanied the smiling face: "Look at what you said, Mr. Yue, it's all because the small door didn't open for you in time, otherwise how could it be like this? The door of our official department is of course very important, but don't hurt me. kicked your mount's hooves."

At this moment, all the officials in the yamen were startled by the bang just now, and they all came out of the guard room, and saw that the gate of their yamen was knocked into the air by someone riding a horse, one or two of them had brilliant expressions.

When everyone saw clearly the young man in brocade who was still riding a tall horse at the door, they were shocked.

No one would believe that the horse was too fast and accidentally knocked into the gate. Seeing this guy on the horse's back proudly, with one hand constantly playing with the whip, he knew that things would never be so simple .
