Don't be clouded

Ji Bieyun rested in this garden for six days, during this time Prince Xian and Xu Yang often came to see him, Fang Muzhi took the time to visit him twice even though the spring was coming.

On the contrary, it was Guan Chen, who didn't show up again after guarding him all night.

It's hard to get used to the people who used to secretly follow him and ignore him now.

He asked Xu Yang if something happened to Xuanqing Temple, but Xu Yang also looked blank, saying that it was as usual, except for the Thousand Monks Meeting, there were more pilgrims.

Ji Bieyun suppressed the doubts in his heart, thinking that Master Guanchen was too busy.

Someone from the palace came to visit once, brought a lot of supplements, and told him to relax and recuperate, and it would not be too late to enter the palace to thank him after he recovered.

Having said that, Ji Bieyun also knows how to measure.Seeing that he was seriously injured, Emperor Yuan Hui was willing to wait for him for a few days mercifully. If he really kept the Holy Majesty waiting for a long time, then he would be disrespectful to the Holy Majesty.

Therefore, on March [-]th, Ji Bieyun had already set off for the imperial city before even the Venus star had set off in the eastern night sky.

Xu Yang accompanied him into the carriage, lifted the curtain to look at the dark night, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked me to teach you the number of sacraments, have you memorized them all?"

Ji Bieyun felt as if he had become a child, and he had to listen to the advice of adults in everything, and he didn't feel disgusted, but rather strange.But thinking about it the other way around, my birthday has just passed, and I haven't even reached the year of weak crown in a strict sense, so I'm really not mature enough.

"Remember, walk slowly, and don't look anywhere except staring at your toes. I will answer what your Majesty asks, but don't have to answer too detailedly." He spit out a series of words like memorizing articles when he was a child. .

Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction, but murmured, "Why do I feel so flustered..."

Ji Bieyun glanced at him, "I went to the palace to thank you, and I wasn't escorted to the execution ground, why are you panicking?"

"That's what I said, but all the civil and military officials in the court are in the hall, maybe the person who harmed you is standing there." Xu Yang paused, "Aren't you a lamb who has joined the wolves?"

When Ji Bieyun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and turned his head away.

"Lamb? Do you think I look like one?"

Xu Yang raised his eyes and saw that although the young man's face was smiling at the moment, he was more ruthless than ordinary people when he was on the competition stage, and he really didn't look like a lamb.

But he changed his mind and said again: "You can't use a knife to deal with those ministers, right? The swords in their hands are invisible."

Ji Bieyun still kept a smile on his face, "It's okay, I can learn slowly."

Xu Yang looked suspicious, "I've seen your expression now, it's exactly the same as when you lied to me in Xuanqing Temple that you would beg for mercy."

He smiled deeper and sat upright again.

The carriage passed through the inner city and came to the most central city in Chenjing, and stopped when it was still some distance away from the tower.

This is the Yong'an Gate in the south of the imperial city. It is tall and majestic, built with royal dignity, and guarded by heavy soldiers.Two rows of courtiers lined up neatly in front of the city gate, all of them standing with their hands down, no one was talking sideways.Every ten feet on both sides of the line stood a servant with a lantern, bending over and waiting.

Ji Bieyun glanced at the situation in the distance from the gap in the curtain of the car, lowered the curtain, turned his head and asked, "Isn't the Imperial City guarded by the Beiya Forbidden Army?"

Xu Yang also glanced quietly, nodded and said: "Yes, looking at their armor, it should be the Yulin Army who is on duty in the south of the imperial city today, and the Longwu Army has gone elsewhere."

After Ji Bieyun came to Chenjing, he learned that the current military system is no different from that of four years ago.

The troops stationed inside and outside the capital are divided into two yamen, the north and the south.

The Beiya is the forbidden army directly under the emperor. It is mainly responsible for guarding the imperial city and the safety of the emperor himself. It is subdivided into the Habayashi Army and the Longwu Army.

The Nanya, the Twelve Guards of the capital, belonged to Daliang's army, led the army and horses from all over the world, and together with the troops from all over the country who came to Beijing in turn, were responsible for the security of the entire Chenjing.If there is a war, they will be transferred to the front line.

The Twelve Guards actually only have six departments, and each department is divided into left and right guards. The right guard commanded by Prince Ruxian in name corresponds to a left guard, and there are five other departments, including the left and right guards.These six groups are added together, and they are collectively called the Twelve Guards.

The emperor asked him to choose from the southern and northern yamen this time, which is bound to affect his position and future.

In the eyes of others, his choice is almost without suspense.

The world is now stable, and there will be no more wars for at least a few decades.

The twelve guards of the Nanya can only be confined in the capital, doing idle errands, receiving a monthly salary that is not too small but not too much, and may not be able to climb much higher in their entire lives.For those who are dedicated to advancement, since there are not many ways to obtain military merits, the Southern Yamen is naturally not as good as the Beiya.

As the emperor's personal soldiers, the Beiya Forbidden Army is mostly in front of the imperial court, and their number is much smaller than that of the Nanya. It is not too difficult to be a general.

As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely choose Beiya.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly he heard Xu Yang calling him.

"The civil and military officials have entered, get out of the car quickly, and don't miss the hour."

Ji Bieyun responded, opened the curtain of the car and walked into the cool night.

A servant led him to the gate of Yong'an, and also held a palace lantern to illuminate the path under his feet.

Ji Bieyun was dressed ceremoniously today, with three layers inside and three layers outside, the outermost layer was a deep coat with wide sleeves, which made him not look like a military general, but rather like a fledgling young civil servant.His shoulders were pressed by the clothes, and he was uncomfortably bound, and the wait seemed to be long.

After a long time, Ji Bieyun heard the summons one after another to the gate of Yong'an, announcing him to enter the hall for an audience.

Ji Bieyun sneaked a sneak peek in the carriage just now, and he could see the resplendent Dunhua Hall from Yonganmen, but now he was on the way to Dunhua Hall, but felt that the road was too long.

According to the rules, he only looked at his toes, and walked through one marble brick after another, before stepping on the steps after a long time.

After the servant led him to the last step, he left and stood respectfully by the gate of the palace.

Ji Bieyun stood in the middle of the entrance of the main hall, heard another singing and drinking in the hall, and then walked in.

The ministers of civil and military affairs were on both sides. Today was just an ordinary morning court, but in their eyes, there was something new at this moment.

The young man who is said to have shined at the Deng Que meeting appeared, and with just a cursory glance, one could notice that he was completely different from those rough generals.He has a cold temperament, but his body is thin and thin, and he can vaguely see his facial features, with his lips tightly pursed.The whole person is obviously restraining, but it's hard to hide the edge.

Ji Bieyun walked to the forefront of the group of officials, bowed to the ground.

"Grassman Ji Yao, I greet Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Emperor Yuan Hui's voice sounded younger than his actual age, his tone was plain, but not angry.

Ji Bieyun got up slowly and stood there with downcast eyes.

He could feel countless pairs of gazes gathering on him behind him, including directly in front of him, and he could tell how much inquiry was in those gazes without looking.

Emperor Yuan Hui seemed to be unable to find a topic to talk about, and after pondering for a moment, he said casually, "Is the injury on your body healed?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's already great." No wonder.The heavy dress was on his shoulders, and the wound that hadn't healed was aching again.

He endured his complaints and pretended to be a docile and good citizen.

"Then..." Emperor Yuan Hui hesitated again, "Has Ji Qing thought about any reward these days?"

The word begging for rewards is straightforward, as if the matter of ascending the palace is nothing to Emperor Yuan Hui, even if someone wins with his life, the rewards that should be given are all shamelessly begged by that person.

But due to the presence of civil and military officials, the Holy Majesty still used the word "Ji Qing" when addressing him, saving a bit of face.

Ji Bieyun didn't feel frustrated, he guessed before Emperor Yuan Hui didn't come to ascend the palace in person, the Holy Majesty had no interest in this kind of competition, maybe he was bored.

He quickly understood his position, and he simply didn't intend to take out the words of thanks he had prepared, and said directly: "Cao Min prefers You Xiaowei, and I implore Your Majesty to grant it."

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion in the originally silent hall.

He knew that in the eyes of many people here, he had already been branded as "not knowing what is good or bad", and it was impossible to tell how many people were laughing at him in their hearts.

Emperor Yuan Hui stroked the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, raised his half-drooped eyelids, and looked at the straight-backed young man not far away.Among the civil and military officials below, the first few rows were relatively quiet, and some people were already whispering in the back.

Most of the victors from previous years entered the Beiya, and the rest also joined the most prestigious left and right guards among the twelve guards.

Emperor Yuanhui was silent for a while, thinking that after all, the Dengjue Meeting was an ancestral system, and he couldn't disrespect the late emperor, so he deliberately misinterpreted: "The position of General You Xiaowei has already been filled, but since I promised to let Ji Qing be in the north and south There is no choice but to add another post in the Yamen."

Ji Bieyun directly avoided the steps handed over by the emperor, and replied decisively again: "Caomin dare not look at Shu, but only wants to be a general."

After he finished speaking in a leisurely manner, he heard the commotion behind him grow louder, thinking that it was not just these officials, the emperor might also feel that he didn't know what was good and what was wrong.

Sure enough, he heard a chuckle from above the hall.

"Come here, give me a golden knife."

A servant came up to him, holding a long knife with a sheath inlaid with gold, silver and jewels in both hands, and said softly: "My lord, accept the reward."

Ji Bieyun raised both hands in front of him, and took the heavy knife.

When the first emperor was around, he would reward the winner of the Climbing Que Club with a golden wrong knife every time, without exception.

At this time, he saw it with his own eyes, and felt that the knife looked fancy, and the beads on the scabbard dazzled the eyes.When facing the enemy, there is no need to draw the sword, just throw the scabbard into the sky, and the enemy's eyes will be blinded.

After bestowing the saber, Ji Bieyun thought that thanking En was over, but the emperor suddenly said: "Ji Qing is a young talent, I heard that his skills are far superior to the winners of the previous years, since he has held the saber, why don't you show it for us? "

Ji Bieyun's back was stiff.

He quickly guessed Yuan Huidi's thoughts in his heart.Asking a courtier to wield a knife in front of hundreds of officials is not admiration, but humiliation. This is to regard him as a busker in the busy city of Chenjing.Furthermore, anyone who enters Dunhua Hall is not allowed to wear a sword. If he really draws his sword in this hall, he will definitely be criticized.

Emperor Yuan Hui was too narrow-minded.

The military system refers to the Tang Dynasty, there are changes, it is not too strict, let's have fun
