Chapter 352 Entering the Palace
The wind is a bit cold at night.

Bai Yuan stood alone in the cold wind.

His great-grandmaster had long since disappeared.

Xu Dingchun suddenly had the urge to test his lightness skill, so the two of them ran around Kyoto ten times.

The result was obvious. Bai Yuan would never see Xu Dingchun again. His master ran so vigorously that Bai Yuan did not give the old man any chance and was still left behind.

Bai Yuan shook his head helplessly.

He turned around and prepared to go back to the Zhaixing Tower.

Xu Dingchun already knew his decision, so things would go much more smoothly tomorrow, although there would be almost no obstacles in entering the Censorate.

The reason why he wanted to enter the Censorate was very simple.

Because the censors in the Censorate have several advantages, two of which meet Bai Yuan's needs.

First, the salary of the censor is high.

This salary refers not only to money; that is just a detail.

Those who can serve as officials in Kyoto are naturally martial artists of high level, and their salaries are naturally elixirs, magic irons and martial arts techniques.

Xuanyang's officials can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the powerful officials, and the other is the noble officials.

The real powerful officials are government offices like the six ministries, which have plenty of lucrative benefits. Although the salaries given by the court are not high, they can use other means to gain benefits and bring blessings to the family. These positions are the ones that all the major families must fight for.

In addition, there are many noble official positions in the court.

The best of these official positions is of course Wenyuan Pavilion, which is a great place to accumulate personal connections. Although it has no power or influence, it is an excellent stepping stone.

In addition to Wenyuan Pavilion, there is the Censorate.

Although the Censorate had great power, it was almost impossible for them to cash in. If someone broke the law knowingly, the emperor would not let him off easily, and expropriating all nine generations of his family was a routine operation.

But precisely because the Censorate has little money, it offers the most overt benefits.

Not to mention that the rank of the censors in the Censorate is mostly half a level higher than that of other government offices, and all their treatment is a full level higher.

For example, an ordinary third-rank official only has one chance to enter the No. 2 inner storehouse of Tianzi to select martial arts, but a third-rank official of the Censorate can directly enter the No. 1 room of Tianzi, which is equivalent to the treatment of a second-rank official.

Bai Yuan was originally a peasant with no family influence, so entering the Censorate was a good choice for him.

And as far as he knew, there were many master-level experts imprisoned in the Black Prison of the Censorate.

The Censorate supervised all officials, and those who committed crimes would be imprisoned in the notorious black prison.

If the Dali Temple's water dungeon holds the most criminals, then the prisoners in the Censorate's black dungeon are the strongest.

After all, those imprisoned are all court officials, so how could their realm be poor?

The Censorate is a hassle-free job for others, but for Bai Yuan it is an excellent place to kill monsters.

No matter how much money you have, can it be better than strengthening points?

As for official career and power, as long as I am strong enough, the court can also be transformed into my shape.

Bai Yuan has a cheat, so he is not panicking at all.

The next morning.

This time, Fang E got up very early. When Bai Yuan pushed open the door, she was already standing at the door obediently.

"Master, are you really going to see the Emperor?"

The little girl's eyes were sparkling.

He is the true emperor, a great man.

When she was in Danshan, she dared not even think about this existence, and now her master is going to meet the emperor!
When Fang E heard the news, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

"Master, come on."

"."

Bai Yuan was speechless. He raised his right index finger and tapped Fang E's little head.

"I might be back a little late, so I'll have to ask the store to deliver the food and put it on my bill."

"OR"

Fang E held her head pitifully and let out a sound.

Bai Yuan walked downstairs with amusement. It really felt good to bully the little loli.

When he walked downstairs, a carriage had already stopped at the entrance of Zhaixing Tower. The driver saw Bai Yuan and hurriedly shouted, "Master Bai, please get in the carriage."

Bai Yuan was a little surprised.

Upon asking, I found out that this carriage was arranged by Guo Yingru, the old minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

It's really well thought out.

Since the carriage is already here, there is no reason not to get in it.

Bai Yuan stepped straight into the carriage.

With a clear "go" from the driver, the carriage started slowly.

Needless to say, this carriage would attract a lot of attention, because in Kyoto, only officials of the third rank could drive a carriage in a parade.

"Master Bai."

When the old minister saw Bai Yuan getting off the carriage, he greeted him with a smile.

The Ministry of Personnel has an unwritten rule that anyone brought into the palace can be considered half of their own.

Such rules are well known to everyone in the officialdom of Kyoto.

The ways in which those small circles in Kyoto divide their own people are even more bizarre.

Guo Yingru: "Let's go, it's almost time to go to court."

Bai Yuan nodded and followed Guo Yingru into the imperial city.

The Xuanyang Palace gave Bai Yuan a feeling of grandeur.

The city walls are huge, the palaces are huge, and even the stone lions in front of the palace are a full ten feet tall.

The suffocating and oppressive aura is revealed everywhere. Ordinary people would probably be frightened to death by the royal majesty before they even see the prince charming.

Guo Yingru took Bai Yuan through one palace gate after another, and finally stopped in front of a palace gate where a corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony could be seen.

There was already an old eunuch and three young eunuchs waiting here.

When the old eunuch saw Bai Yuan and Guo Yingru appear, he took the initiative to greet them.

"Master Bai, we meet again."

This old eunuch was none other than Eunuch Chang who had gone to Lingzhou before.

"Eunuch Chang."

Bai Yuan returned the greeting.

The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the eunuchs around the emperor, cannot be offended easily.

When Eunuch Chang saw that this young official from Xuanyang, who was now at the peak of his career, was so polite to him, he smiled even more.

"Master Bai, please wait patiently here. His Majesty will summon you when the time comes."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Going to court is Xuanyang’s most important thing, and of course it is impossible to discuss Bai Yuan alone.

That's why he was brought here by Guo Yingru.

Guo Yingru laughed and said, "Master Bai, I will leave first."

"Thank you, Master Guo."

There are many rules for Xuanyang’s court sessions, but they are much better than those of the previous dynasty.

It is said that in the previous dynasty, all officials above the sixth rank in Beijing had to attend court, which lasted the entire day, and they had to attend court every day regardless of rain or shine.

This led to a significant slowdown in the officials' progress in martial arts cultivation, and eventually resulted in the bizarre situation where officials in Beijing were inferior to those at the local levels.

Emperor Xuanyang Taizu respected martial arts, so he made drastic changes to the court meetings.

Not only did it only need to be held once a week, but only important officials above the third rank could attend, which broke the previous awkward situation.

Guo Yingru was the Minister of Personnel, a third-rank official, which qualified him to attend the morning court.

Bai Yuan was standing outside the palace gate chatting with the old eunuch.

It was not until noon that a loud shout was finally heard.

"Xuan Baiyuan enters the palace!"
