Chapter 110: The Winter of the Eighth Year of Jian'an
In the winter of the eighth year of Jian'an, today's dynasty is the last heyday of the dynasty before the beginning of winter, almost all the foreign officials of the imperial court Zhushi also entered Beijing with the general trend, including Gu Tang, the general of the Zhenguo, Wei Shuyang, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, and the rest of the generals who are still in the palace have also put on their court clothes, following the torrent when the sky is dark, and the Gaomen mansions in all directions are folded into the imperial road, and slowly pour into the imperial city gate.
The center of the world's arch guard, Zhongjingcheng, also ushered in the most lively day in winter the next day, and the imperial road from the south gate of Zhongjing City into the imperial city, as long as eighteen miles, is undoubtedly the longest central axis in the world, the design of both sides of the imperial road is extremely exquisite, integrated into the way of the heavens, the building related to the royal luck, looks like a natural array.
In front of the main gate of the imperial city is a huge square, and in front of the square is nine white jade bridges, the river under the bridge is called the dragon whisker water, the common people say that the water veins of the capital city are condensed into the dragon whiskers here, where the big Han luck gate is.
An unassuming carriage along the royal road, today the morning of the Dynasty specifications of Qiwei, after the jade bridge, the square is almost no place to stand, full of all kinds of carriage stations full of all kinds of servants, the Han into a hundred years of inheritance, the early dynasty parking also has a lot of unwritten rules, according to the rank of the position of the division, the high carriage stays, the closer to the imperial city wall, the humble people in turn gradually drift away, many official positions are not up to most of the civil and military officials are familiar with the state of affairs of the court, simply walk to the court, do not hurt the harmony, do not quarrel with who to occupy the position and the face is red, the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is not easy to be an official in Beijingγ
There is a magnificent lineup of no less than 1,000 people, including the white-haired old man who has never been able to cross the hurdle of the five-rank official, and the four-grade member who has a bright future in the year of establishment, and the proud son of the sky who holds a power in the year of not being confused, as well as the royal relatives in python robes. The pillars of a dynasty gathered in the imperial city on this day. It seems that even Zhongjing City is dyed with a trace of purple gold.
The hour has not yet arrived, the city gate is closed, has not yet opened, more than 1,000 people who are qualified to enter the court and enter the gate have stood in their respective positions one after another, the servants have already withdrawn from the square, retreated to the outside of the jade bridge, all of you are commanding adults in front of people on weekdays, no matter how big the name is, are anxiously standing outside the city waiting for the sound of opening the city gate, there is no shortage of slippery people are still talking in multiple circles, wanting to use this rare scene to know a few more people who may be helpful to their careers, but most of the officials have felt a thunderstorm coming to the city, holding their breath and concentrating, exceptionally quiet, occasionally thinking, whispering, is also careful to squeak only to those close to him.
The carriage came a little late, and was even blocked on the royal road into the imperial city, and it was extremely difficult to see the stitches, so it had to stop far away and walk down a man in white who was suspected of being impolite. More than a dozen officials who were afraid of missing the court meeting hurriedly ran by, and they didn't even have time to take a look, and a middle-aged man ran particularly hard, panting, and just passed by the white-headed man, so he bent over hard, put his hands on his knees, and sweated profusely. When he lowered his head and panted like a cow, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man next to him walking slowly, with an uncommon jade belt tied around his waist, a very thin ring on his left hand, and a person with a flaunting figure behind him.
The man doesn't look at the cold appearance, but he is also a good man with a warm heart, if he goes up to persuade him, maybe he can meet a helpful person in the officialdom, gritted his teeth, followed up, and asked in a low voice: "This young master, let me say more, according to your speed, I am afraid that you will be late today." β
The man in white turned his head with a smile, and glanced at the man who seemed to be dressed as a fifth-rank official who had just entered the court, and knew why he looked like he was nearly fifty years old and still only a fifth-rank petty official.
"Thank you for reminding me, it's too crowded in front, and I'm standing at the end anyway, so I'm not in a hurry, just take a look from afar. The man in white smiled kindly at the middle-aged man, quickened his pace, and tried his best to maintain the same speed as him.
"Are you on an errand in the yamen?" the old man accentuated the word yamen, successive emperors had their own close guards and secret investigation agencies, he saw the sword on Lin Ji's shoulder, his eyes suddenly lit up, maybe there was something he didn't know.
The middle-aged man waited for the man in white to answer, and when he saw the man in white shaking his head, he was still slightly disappointed.
"But I'm afraid you can't go to the early dynasty with this dress, right? There are a lot of rules in this imperial city. The middle-aged five-grade official reminded him kindly again, and subconsciously took a few steps away from him.
The man in white laughed softly: "This is the first time I have entered Beijing, no one has reminded me of the rules, my father is no longer here, as for the clothes are still in the hands of the people behind me, I have been in a hurry all the way, and I haven't had time to change them, just find a quiet place to change them for a while, there should be no broken rules." As for this sword, it's just my personal habit, and if I really want to enter the morning dynasty in a while, I'll hand it over to the people behind me, and you don't have to mind. β
The middle-aged man looked relieved, but he looked up and down again at the young man in front of him, listening to his words, he should not be an official in Zhongjing City, so where can the rich and noble son come to the early dynasty.
After all, the middle-aged man is still an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years, and at this time, he gave a thumbs up and praised the man in white: "Don't say anything else, your courage is really big enough." β
The man in white walked with the middle-aged man and slowly walked up the jade bridge.
It's not that they want to be slow, it's that the crowding in front of them is abnormal, and they really can't get up fast.
But when they arrived at the square, it was smooth in an instant, and even faintly cleared a path for the two of them.
Although the middle-aged man said that he was poor and white as an official, he could also enter the court, which is a gap between officials, even if he stood at the door of the main hall and looked at the face of the pen from a distance, it was an extremely honorable thing.
How many Beijing officials have never entered the court in their lives.
The further he went, the more the middle-aged man felt that the atmosphere was strange, which made him, who was accustomed to being ignored and despised jokes, feel uncomfortable, straight forward, he and the man in white who didn't know where to come out, just like splitting the river and cutting the waves, some of the powerful officials who originally looked at him with their nostrils facing the sky had complicated eyes, their faces were extremely stiff, and they tore out of the queues on both sides, and then they thundered and then retreated a few steps back, and the tide flowed backwards.
It didn't take long to reach the center of the square, and the gates were still not open.
The man in white summoned the attendants behind him, handed him the sword in his hand, and put the official robe he held in his hand on his body.
Not afraid of the surprised eyes of others, after tidying up his clothes, he patted his cuffs with satisfaction.
And the middle-aged man was speechless in surprise after seeing the pattern on the official robe, and even stumbled back a few steps.
Because on the man in white, there was a dark blue court robe, and on top of the court robe was a fierce unicorn, which was staring fiercely at his chest, as if he was about to devour himself.
"One...... A first-class military general. Without even thinking about it, the middle-aged five-rank official searched out two people from his memory who could wear Qilin official robes, one was Gu Tang, the general of Zhenguo, and the other was Lin Jinrong, the martial marquis who had already been ranked as the third duke.
But Lin Jinrong has long since passed away...... And his son is hereditary, so of course this person's name is self-evident.
The middle-aged man patted his head with some regret, everyone in the world knows the delicate relationship between Canghai City and Dahan at this time, and the middle-aged man even regrets what he said to Lin Ji.
Lin Ji looked at the man who was still very familiar with him just now, but had already disappeared into the crowd at this time, glanced at the unicorn in front of him with a wry smile, and stopped talking.
Outside the main gate of the imperial city, there is a fan-faced scene, and the momentum is amazing.
The big shots led by several Shangshu and the great general Gu Tang stood at the forefront of the team.
Liao Jie had already retreated to Baiyuqiao at this time, waiting there for Lin Ji to retreat from the C Dynasty according to the plan.
The gap behind Lin Ji disappeared, surrounding him.
Alone.
It is the same as the situation of Canghai City and the 300,000 Lin family army.
Lin Ji was expressionless, and thought silently in his heart: "Dad, this time it's my son's turn to go through this experience." β
