Seven years of Sejong

紫禁城

"Step-step-"

Surrounded by the prosperous and prosperous imperial city, a cloud of purple air lingers in the clouds, and there are carriages passing by on the bustling avenue in front of you.

In the yelling of the market restaurant.

Zhang Jia and Agui, who had a face that hadn't opened, were squatting bored alone on the road leading to the city gate.

On one shoulder he carried a broken flagpole that was only held up by the soldiers at the gate of the city, and with the other hand he impatiently buttoned his dirty shoe uppers, and even sat on the city tower to pick up dirt from the ground. leak.

The loess in front of him was splashed by him, and he was scattered all over by the hoofs of passing horses.

In the next second, Zhang Jia and Agui, who was sitting on the side of the road, ate a mouthful of dirt, jumped up and poohed twice.

——Looking at the idleness of this hairy kid, he looks like a street ruffian.

Although he was wearing a brocade mandarin jacket made of very expensive material at first glance, with auspicious animal gold locks around his neck, and high-quality boots made for him by his mother-in-law with white jade inlaid on the soles, he looked like a Unbearable mud.

If it wasn't, there would have been a few little followers greeting him from afar from the opposite side.

He also brought tea, snacks and the like every half an hour. This kid named Zhang Jia Agui might not be able to stay in this crappy place for a moment.

"Master! Master! Eat quickly, this is the dim sum that Fujin asked us to bring to you from the house. Bazhen cake and lotus root noodle are all your favorite food!"

"Hey, why did you come here! I'm starving to death, bring it quickly!"

Seeing the little attendants bring out snacks for him from the food box, Zhang Jia and Agui got a little excited, but after he turned his head and finished eating, he became listless again when he knew that his tightness had not been released yet. ,

He is twelve or thirteen years old.

But he is already one of the best little devil kings in the capital. He has always been the only one who causes trouble, and nothing troubles him.Whenever this kid haunts, it will inevitably cause a disgraceful riot in the capital.

His Ama is Acton, and he is one of Sejong's most trusted ministers of culture and affairs.

Because he was born as a Jinshi back then, and now he is also a university scholar and the official of the Imperial College, everyone said that Acton's son must also be a learned civil servant in the court in the future.

But it's a pity that when Zhang Jia and Agui's hair has almost fallen out when Zhang Jia and Agui are about ten years old, the people outside will almost understand.

His father is educated, and it is entirely his own business. It has nothing to do with Zhang Jia, Agui, a brat who is doomed to be uneducated after being born out of a mother's womb.

The son inherits the father's business.

This kind of thing has only existed in the dreams of a middle-aged man who is already in his early years and is easy to be impatient.

It is even more difficult for a kid like him to sit down and read a book quietly.

But if you don’t study, you can have individual aspirations. A man’s aspirations are not limited to this, but when his Ama asks him about the knowledge of his only son at home, he will definitely get a heart-wrenching answer.

Acton: "Have you thought about what you plan to do in the future today?"

Zhang Jia Agui: "Eat, drink, and sleep."

Acton: "Bastard! How can you be as useless as a pig? What about your ambitions! Didn't you swear to your mother-in-law yesterday at home that you want to get a good job in the future!"

Zhang Jia and Agui: "It's a waste of brains to test for fame. You and those high officials are bald. I'm not good enough. I want to learn how to string candied haws. I heard that selling candied haws can earn [-] yuan a day, and I can also play in the street. , I find it quite interesting."

It was obviously the words spoken casually from the mouth of a little furry child, but it was able to poke at his Ama angrily like an adult.

But if he is said to be a child who was born bad to the bone, he is not.

Zhang Jia and Agui knew in her heart that his father was not a civil servant with smooth sailing, that year, when he was still young, his Ama'eniang was thrown into prison because of the incident in the court, and he almost couldn't wait. until he grows up.

In the case of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, his father was framed and implicated the whole family.

Zhang Jia and Agui were still young at that time, but he still remembered that when everyone came home to welcome the imperial decree, his father knelt on the ground and got the phrase "kill the prisoner".

The words from Sejong's mouth to kill the prisoner almost killed everyone in Zhang Jia's family.

If it wasn't because his father had a brain, he was able to escape from that crisis, and once again won the trust of the Holy Spirit, maybe it wasn't that he didn't even have a snack right now.

personal fate.

It is the most illusory and elusive thing in the world.

This kid vaguely knew this since he was a child.

And speaking of why his father sent someone to drive him here, and squat down like a fool to let him be punished here, there is another reason.

Because yesterday when he was playing outside with everyone in the mud all over his body, it happened that his father was finally receiving someone in the front hall.

This man, Agui, also knew, because he had kowtowed at the door many times in the past few days, waiting like a pug to see his father.

Saying it looks like a pug is a bit of an understatement.

But Ah Gui heard that people inside and outside the house were talking about that person.

Every time the other party comes to the door, they bring a lot of gifts with a very respectful attitude.

Although those so-called 'gifts', in the eyes of a child like Agui, are not even comparable to what the little follower behind him usually rewards, but it can be seen that it is the poor boy who always bows his head and sits at the door All of the people.

It is said that this is this year's Xinke Scholars.

But he was born in a humble family, and he was not a descendant of the nobles in the capital, so he couldn't find any contacts in the capital, so he had to ask for help, and one of them was Agui's father.

He begged a lot of people these days, but it was useless in the end, so he came to beg Agui's Ama because he had no choice.

Such a person is probably just a mediocrity who is eager to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

Even if it is to study and test for fame, it is just to climb up to become an official with one mind.

Ah Gui and Ta Ama are very shrewd.

At first, he didn't want to let go of his face to meet such an unhealthy person, and he was afraid of causing some trouble.

But seeing that this young man has been here for many days in a row, he has just been awarded a Jinshi, but there is only an old servant behind him, and he can't even afford a pair of good shoes, so he let go of his face and met him once .

This is not only to make this person give up and leave early, but also to preserve friendship in the future. What if this person remembers his kindness to Acton?

When Ah Gui came back that day, he happened to see this scene.

But when he ran in to find something amidst the panicked obstruction of a group of servants, he saw a young man wearing a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, dressed plainly and even a little poor, who happened to be separated from the Songhe in front of the hall, and used his hand Open the curtain and come out.

Before this, Agui had never met this young Jinshi who wanted to stay in the capital and take root as an official.

That day, the Xinyiwu flowers in front of the yard of Agui's house were in full bloom, but when this man came out, it seemed that the scenery of the whole garden lost some color.

The young Jinshi himself, in fact, is not at all like the outsiders say, he is a lowly philistine who only wants to be an official.

When he saw people, he was not very happy or angry, and ordinary people couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but this young scholar with a relatively quiet personality didn't seem to like children, so they didn't have much conversation after this meeting.

Obviously, he was only wearing poor civilian clothes, but he was more impressive than many people in noble clothes.

His Ama was nodding at the back at that time, and was about to come out to send this person out again.

The two were talking politely, but Agui, who bumped into them, was taken aback. The young Jinshi just lowered his impressive eyes, and looked down at Agui at the door.

Unbeknownst to Ah Gui, this was the only serious meeting between him and this person since then.

His Ama scolded him afterwards, and Agui, who was still young, said indifferently, "This man is not a high-ranking official, and it's not like you said that this new scholar is not a promising person."

But then, he, Ama, changed his words to him for the first time.

"No, this time, everyone in the capital may have misjudged this young Jinshi."

Ama said emphatically.

"Misunderstanding? Why?"

Agui is more confused

"You silly boy, what did I see in this person's eyes today?"

"I saw the most steadfast and most precious ambition in a person's heart."

"..."

"I just asked him why you want to be an official. Do you know how he answered me?"

"He said that he wants to uphold the justice in his heart, so he must stay in the capital and remain an official."

"You, Ama, I have been an official for so many years, but I can't say such a thing. If there is a will, there will be a way. This person will definitely not be a vulgar person in the future, and he will definitely achieve something in the future. I helped him at this time. He In the future, the sky will rise, you, Ama, and I, maybe even with you, a kid, may be able to enjoy the glory."

Agui's father said these words calmly, but he was also extremely decisive.

It was as if he had seen clearly the fate of this person in the future.

Ah Gui didn't know where his Ama's self-confidence came from, but after that, he, Ama, seemed to be stimulated, and asked him a question, and asked him to carry it under the city gate every day. Wait until he figured out what his ambition is before letting him go.

ambition.

One's lifelong ambition.

What is his ambition?

I have been carrying the flag here and thinking about it for so many days.

He has also seen so many people from all walks of life coming and going from the city gate, traffickers and pawns, but he still hasn't figured out what his personal ambition is.

If he stood here for a while, he would have to go back and be dragged by his father to take the exam. After that, he would be palmed and scolded by his father again, but Agui didn't think it mattered.

Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, he is a useless person in this life.

But to be honest, Zhang Jia and Agui just don't want to be like his father in the future.

But when his father asked him with a stern face, what are you going to do in the future?

This kid, Agui, choked his neck again and couldn't answer.

"I see that you just want to eat, drink and have fun all your life! You don't want to make progress! You are a rebellious son! Why did I, Zhang Jia, have such a wickedness like you! You want to be angry to death as a father!"

These words, however, also contained the anger in his Lord Ama Acton's heart.

But on this day, in the future, Zhang Jia and Agui felt that on the day that his personal destiny changed, something happened under the gate of the Forbidden City.

That day was a very special day.

In the entire capital, everyone knows about it except for a child like Agui who doesn't know anything.

Unknowingly, a lot of idle people gathered at the intersection, everyone was discussing with a special expression, as if someone would appear after a while.

Under the gate of the city, a soldier dressed in military uniform rushed ahead on horseback and blew his whip, but after a while, under the eyes of Zhang Jia and Agui, a figure like the stars and the moon appeared just like that.

That person walked in the front, and the person on the horse was vaguely a young man in black.

This person looked a few years older than Zhang Jia and Agui, probably about eighteen or nineteen years old, and should be about the same age as the young Jinshi Agui had met before.

Agui, who was still very short, couldn't see his face clearly because there were many people there.

But he could see clearly.

That person was full of light, and his eyes were dark. He was even more admirable than the young heroes he had heard from the storyteller.

He was dressed in a straight and handsome duke uniform with a jet black belt, a black horse, and long boots.

During the process, the young man in black didn't talk to others, he just passed by the city gate like a lonely and indifferent rider on horseback, he was still standing on his shoulder, only looking at the fierce claws but also the beautiful eyes like beads. eagle.

Many people followed behind him.

But he was the only one with a beautiful eagle on his shoulder, and that eagle with plump wings and sharp eyes completely surrendered to the unstoppable young man in black as if tamed.

"—"

The hawk's cry made Ah Gui a little confused.

This was the first time he had seen someone tame such a wild-looking eagle.

In the entire capital, only this black-clothed boy holding an eagle in the crowd completely attracted the young Agui's eyes.

Not purely because of this person.

Nor is it purely because of the eagle.

It was like being inspired by something hot, something flowing from the bottom of my heart.

Just like what his father said, this man also has ambition in his eyes.

Just like the young Jinshi he had seen.

"Then, who is that person riding a big horse in the front? He, what is that beautiful and majestic bird on his shoulder?"

Still just a young man, Zhang Jia and Agui blushed anxiously, squatting on the ground and stamping their feet at the little followers beside him.

"That's 'Eight Fang Erji', the sticky person, and the one in the middle is the youngest member of this generation who is the standby subordinate officer of Shang Yu."

"And that group of people is our famous 'Caidongqing' in Qing Dynasty."

Hai, Dongqing?

Standing alone at the gate of the city, the eyes of the young Zhangjia Agui, whose nose was still dirty and snot from his father's beating, suddenly lit up.

Next, his little follower said something to him.

It seems that what these people are doing is very dangerous. You are still young, so it is better not to know.

But Zhang Jia and Agui couldn't listen at all.

Because it was as if someone had woken up from a mind that had no ambition for so many years.

There was a bright light in front of his eyes, and his whole body was awakened with a 'buzz'.

Now he knew that he should go back and tell his father this time.

What exactly does he want to do in this life, and what is his personal ambition!

Walk all over the cloud cliff.

With the world in mind.

Just like the young Jinshi with firm eyes, like the group of people who left without looking back, and the guy called Hai Dongqing in the middle.

Since then, I am not limited to everything in the world, and I have broken out of the world since then.

This is the great ambition Zhang Jia and Agui pursued in this life!
