It just so happened that Hubu Shangshu was the chief examiner this time, and Zhou An was very sure that he would get an official position.

Zhou An came to the household department and asked the gatekeeper to pass it on, and when the doorkeeper saw that it was Zhou An, he immediately passed it on.

When Hubu Shangshu heard that Zhou An was coming, he immediately sent his officials to greet him and welcomed Zhou An into the living room.

Zhou An and Hubu Shangshu turned over politely, Zhou An applied for an official position, Hubu Shangshu did not immediately agree, if other Jinshi applied for an official position, Hubu Shangshu may agree immediately, but Zhou An is different, now Zhou An has the title of the first genius of the Great Yuan Dynasty, made ancient poems and tunes, known as the poetry saint Qu Sheng, without the consent of the emperor He could not give Zhou An an official position.

However, Hubu Shangshu gave Zhou An an answer that he needed to report to Zhou An after going to court tomorrow, so that the current emperor could decide Zhou An's official position.

But as soon as this sentence was spoken, a loud voice came from the mind of the head of the household: "You brought Zhou An to see me now." ”

When Hubu Shangshu heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, bowed down and said, "Obey the will, and now I will take Zhou An to see you." ”

The Emperor's voice was no longer in his head.

Hube Shangshu wiped the sweat on his forehead, he really didn't expect the emperor to pay attention here, although the emperor controls the national fortunes of the Great Yuan Dynasty, as long as he is in the national capital, he can use the national fortunes to monitor everyone in the national capital, but the emperor is hidden monitoring, and this time in order to see Zhou An's appearance, it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to Zhou An.

"There is a decree in the saint that you should go to see him, please come with me. Hubu Shangshu said to Zhou An.

"Please Shangshu lead the way. Zhou An saw what Hubu Shangshu knelt on the ground and said, so he naturally understood what it was, and happily agreed.

Hubu Shangshu took Zhou An to the outside of the imperial city, and Hubu Shangshu said: "By the will of the saint, take Zhou An to face the saint." ”

The guards retreated to both sides, letting Tobe Shangshu and Zhou An in.

"Follow me, don't wander around, or you'll be arrested as an assassin by the Praetorian Guards. Tobe Shangshu said.

"There are also assassins who assassinate the Holy One. Zhou An said in surprise.

"There are a few cases every year, but all of them are arrested by the Janissaries. Tobe Shangshu said.

"Who are these assassins, they are too bold. Zhou An said.

What kind of place is this, this is the center of the Great Yuan Dynasty, a place where the strong stand together, there are many congenital masters, especially the imperial city, which is the place where the Great Yuan Dynasty congenitally gathers, come here to assassinate the emperor, isn't this looking for death.

Zhou An wondered if these assassins were pumping their brains.

"Find out what kind of power these assassins are? Zhou An said.

"It's not sent by those wild places overseas, they don't really want to kill the saint, but they are here to spy on the reality of my Great Yuan Dynasty. Tobe Shangshu said.

"I've heard that the warriors of my Great Yuan Dynasty are fighting overseas, so is overseas talking about those wild places overseas? Zhou An said.

"Yes, overseas are all barbarians who have not been civilized, but although they do not follow the religion, there are many strong people, and the number of strong people is only a lot more than my Great Yuan Dynasty, so they are the great enemies of my Great Yuan Dynasty, and if you encounter it in the future, kill them with all your might, don't leave them any chance to kill you. Tobe Shangshu said.

"Are people overseas so strong? Zhou An has not met anyone from overseas, and he has some doubts about the strength of overseas people.

"It's not strong, it's very strong, although I haven't met anyone overseas, but I know that what is cultivated overseas is different from what we practiced in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the legend says that people from overseas practice witchcraft, which is very strange. Tobe Shangshu said. 315 Chinese Network

"What is witchcraft. Zhou An asked.

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard that it's similar to the Dark World Method, except that the Dark World Method is used by ghost luck, and witchcraft is used by witchcraft. Tobe Shangshu said.

"I'm going to see witchcraft in the future and see if it's really as good as you say. Zhou An said.

"It's time to go to the study, don't talk anymore. Tobe Shangshu reminded him.

Zhou An nodded.

Hubu Shang came to the upper study, knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Long live the saint, long live, long live, I have brought Zhou An." ”

"Let Zhou An enter the house. The Emperor's voice came.

Zhou An pushed open the door of the upper study and walked in.

I saw an old man sitting on the dragon chair, this old man had a black and white beard, wearing a yellow Kowloon imperial robe, wearing a crown, and looked at Zhou An who came in with a majestic face.

The crown is the crown worn by the emperor, and there is a long crown plate at the top of it, called "Yan". Yan is usually the front circle and the back of the circle, which is used to symbolize the round heaven and the earth. The front and rear eaves of the extension are hung with a number of strings of beads and jade, and the colored threads are worn through the group.

The difference in the amount of crown and the material is a sign to distinguish the noble from the low. It is said that the purpose of Zhizhan is to "conceal the light", which means that the king sees things and cannot "observe them for understanding", that is, a person who is a leader must have insight into the general situation and be able to tolerate small flaws.

Zhou An bowed deeply to the emperor and said, "Long live the saint, long live, long live." ”

"Bold, why not kneel. Next to the emperor was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old eunuch, shouting sharply.

"The grass people have stepped into Confucianism and Taoism, and they can not kneel in the face of the saints. Zhou An said calmly.

Confucianism has a very high status in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and those who practice Confucianism and Taoism naturally have a certain status, Confucianism and Taoism play an important role in the Great Yuan Dynasty, because it is relatively simple to become a great Confucian, as long as you comprehend the righteousness of Haoran, become a Jinshi ranked among the top three, and get the blessing of the national fortune, as long as you get these three things, you can become a great Confucian, so in the Great Yuan Dynasty there are still more Confucians, but the life span of Confucianism is very short, and the lifespan of ordinary people is about the same.

Therefore, there is a law in the Great Yuan Dynasty that stipulates that when you see the emperor, you can not kneel, which is the privilege of Confucianism, and there is also a hidden meaning that those who practice Confucianism and Taoism can not kneel.

"You're bold. The Emperor's voice came.

"It's just a matter of facts. Zhou An said.

The scene was silent for a few seconds.

"Hahaha, yes, worthy of Zhou An, with arrogance. The Emperor laughed.

The eunuch next to him was dumbfounded when he heard the emperor say this, he originally thought that the emperor would be very angry and blame Zhou An, but in the end he praised Zhou An.

Xie Shengshang complimented. Zhou An said.

"Do you know why I called you? The Emperor said.

"I don't know. Zhou An shook his head and said.

"I called you here for three reasons, one is that it is rumored that you are very young and I want to see what you look like, but I am surprised to see that you are really so young, generally the minimum age that can come to you is thirty or forty years old, and you are more than ten years earlier than others. ”
