Chapter 75
Once he jumped over the Dragon Gate, it was like entering a new world for Mu Qing.
He is the Duke of Xie Yuan, and from now on, everyone around him will inevitably call him "Mu Xianggong", and if he does not kneel down when he sees the official, he will not be convicted of death if he is not treason and rebellion, which is the special rights and interests granted by the Great Zhou Dynasty to scholars. Even if you stand on the street with a pen and shout at the official, she doesn't have much else to do but listen.
But as long as the head is not stupid, he will not do this.
The noise of gongs and drums outside the courtyard almost made Mu Qing's whole person move, but he didn't go crazy in the end, but maintained a faint smile on his face, ushered in the people who congratulated, received congratulatory red envelopes and distributed thanksgiving money, these were done meticulously, and there was no gaffe in the middle.
Because, Li Qianyu was standing beside him, looking at him, looking at him, those eyes were dark and swarthy, so that Mu Qing's little tail that had just been cocked fell at that time.
"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, this is what you said." The crowd of Dao He had gradually left, and when only Li Qianyu and Mu Qing were left in the room, the sixth prince said lightly while sipping tea.
Mu Qing was so tired that he still blushed a little when he heard Li Qianyu's words, coughed dryly, and then lay his whole body on the table, just tilting his head to look at Li Qianyu beside him: "There were so many people just now, I see that you haven't eaten anything, do you want to make some food to eat?" β
Li Qianyu put aside the teacup and looked light: "Don't bother, it's not too early now, if you want to get out of the city before dark, you have to go and get the paperwork now." β
Mu Qing sighed: "Brother Li, look, I'm so tired now, can we go again tomorrow?" β
"No, there are a lot of affairs in Beijing, so it's better to go earlier."
Mu Qing secretly said "dictatorship" in his heart, but he still stood up and went to change his clothes. He naturally knew what Li Qianyu was worried about, although the eldest prince died, his only heir was personally named the eldest grandson of the emperor by the emperor.
If Mu Qing is not mistaken, such a thing also happened in a dynasty called Daming, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne as the emperor's grandson, and Zhu Di seized the throne in the name of the Qing monarch a few years later, and Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts are unknown. It's just that Li Chengming is different from Zhu Yunwen, he is about the same age as Li Qianyu, and he is smart and wise, if there is no Li Qianyu, he will be a generation of kings.
And Li Qianyu, what he needs is great achievements, what he needs is to expand the territory, and the first thing to get rid of on the road of this man is Li Chengming.
Mu Qing could guess the reason why Li Qianyu was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly packed up and went to the mansion.
After acquaintance, the examination should be taken in the capital, and talented people from all over the country must be in the capital to participate in the big examination, and those who are among the best can participate in the palace examination and become the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
When I arrived at the palace, it was the middle of the day when the sun was hot, and there were only two servants guarding the door at the entrance of the palace. One of the officers leaning against the wall with a grass in his mouth saw Mu Qing from a distance, but he immediately raised his waist.
They may have thought of making things difficult for Mu Qing at the beginning, but at that time, it was because Mu Qing was just a student, so they naturally had no taboos. But now Mu Qing is the master of Xie Yuan, as long as he does not die by himself, he will be a safe official from now on, and he is naturally much stronger than the errand officer who has no grade, and Da Zhou's favor to the scholar is really good, and the two errand servants are naturally unwilling to be cleaned up by Xie Yuangong, who seems to be indifferent but actually moves without blinking, so they come forward with a smile.
"I don't know what happened when Duke Xie Yuan arrived?" The servant with the grass in his mouth looked a little chunky, spit the grass from his mouth aside, and then asked with a smile.
Mu Qing didn't care about their respectful expressions, smiled, and showed the humility of the scholars who read the sage books to the fullest: "Please inform the eldest brother that the students want to meet the prefect." β
The messenger hurriedly pushed another tall and thin officer beside him, and the messenger turned and ran into the door. Not long after, he ran back again: "The prefect is invited." β
"Tired lead the way." Mu Qing smiled, but the short and fat officer took Mu Qing one step ahead and walked inside.
The tall and thin servant watched the two of them enter the door, and his face did change, and he spat angrily: "Dead fat man, I'll go to the matter of soaking your legs, and you will do it yourself, it's really bigger than the sky." β
The janitor in the gatehouse was so old that he had to squint at noon, which would make him wake up and hear a voice, so he opened the window: "What's the noise?" β
The tall and thin officer hurriedly smiled: "Old man, are you up?" Look at my eyes, I am definitely thirsty, so I'm going to get you some tea. β
The janitor coughed, and his shriveled eyelids raised slightly: "Find some hot, this age can't drink cold ones." β
The tall and thin officer hurriedly brought hot tea, and the janitor drank it, feeling comfortable, and then remembered the question he had just asked: "Who is here?" β
"It's Xie Yuangong who came, saying that he was coming to find the prefect, and he just went in."
The janitor narrowed his eyes slightly, but he sat up and put on his shoes, and was about to get up, but he paused again, turned his head to look at the tall and thin officer: "You, come, go and deliver a letter to the Qian master book, just say that Mu Xianggong is afraid that he is here to ask for documents this time, and he is afraid that he will leave in a while as soon as the list is released, so let him hurry up and send it." β
The tall and thin officer was stunned, and then stood up, only to hear the voice of the janitor coming again.
"You monkey, the old man has stayed in the government all his life, although you don't have any good intentions to me, but these days you are also dedicated, old man, I will help you. Don't be like a saw-mouthed gourd in front of the money master, can you be the leader, but it depends on the mouth of the money master's book to tell you. As he spoke, the janitor tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't care about that fat man, I don't want to think about the prefect, and I don't look at what kind of virtue he is, what kind of character the prefect is, and he can stammer." β
The tall and thin officer smiled in ecstasy, but the janitor reached out and patted him on the head. The tall and thin officer immediately restrained the expression on his face, but saluted the janitor: "Thank you, uncle." β
"Come on, don't thank me, I naturally didn't want to treat you badly when the young master valued you." The janitor sat back on the soft couch and looked at him with slightly raised eyelids, "You tell me your name, and if you become prosperous in the future, the old man will still rely on you." β
The tall and thin officer smiled: "My surname is Yu, and the young master named me Yu Peng." β
The gatekeeper looked at him and nodded: "The fish leaps over the dragon gate, Pengcheng Wanli, a good name." Alright, let's go. β
Yu Peng turned around and ran out in response, but the janitor looked at him a few times, and then lay down on the soft couch again, and fell asleep not long after.
================================================================================
The process of asking for documents was very smooth, and Governor Dong had no intention of embarrassing Mu Qing, and when Mu Qing said something, Governor Dong asked people to write documents for him and stamp them with official seals.
Mu Qing put the paperwork in his arms, and then got up and gave a long salute: "The student thanked the teacher." β
"Don't call Teacher Benguan." Governor Dong helped him up with a smile, and his voice was gentle, "The official would like to have a student like you, but your future is limitless, and the official can't hold it." β
Mu Qing knew that Governor Dong would not pull him into his pengyu. Maybe Mu Qing is a help, but if this is the case, Mu Qing's foundation in the future can only be in Guizhou, and they all know that Mu Qing went to Beijing to win the championship in one fell swoop, and Dong Zhifu is releasing people.
This is really releasing people, and he will not be left with any hind legs.
Mu Qing was really grateful, but he couldn't say anything. After all, this is all private talk in the officialdom, it is an unspoken rule, and it cannot be put out and said, if it is broken, it will lose that meaning. Mu Qing saluted again and thanked him before leaving the mansion.
But before he could get home, he heard someone calling him. turned around, but it was Qian Zhushu who was running towards him, and his face was sweating.
Mu Qing hurriedly stopped and stepped forward: "Master Qian, why are you in a hurry?" β
Master Qian took a few solid breaths. He was the one who highly recommended Mu Qing from the beginning, because he was Mu Qing's guarantor, and because he took a fancy to Mu Qing's talent. All kinds of help have been covered by a few words from Governor Dong's mansion until now.
Yes, just now, Master Qian listened to their conversation throughout the whole process, so he ran out to chase after him.
After staying with Governor Dong for a long time, Master Qian naturally knows what it means to observe words and feelings. He didn't know Mu Qing's details, but obviously, Governor Dong valued him, and Dong Feng's trip to Mizhou had nothing to do with him. This is a big man, or a big man in the future, and the money master book will naturally not let his hard-to-build network be broken.
"I was just thinking of waiting for you to talk, but I knew that you were walking so fast, and I came to chase you." After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Mu Qing's arm.
Mu Qing casually touched Li Qianyu's hand, that was called flirting, and Qian Zhushu held his arm so lightly, it was an elder's expression of kindness.
"This trip to the capital has a long future, I thought, let you bring a helper."
Mu Qing blinked, but said in his heart, could it be that Master Qian wanted to stuff people to me?
But he didn't wait for him to think about it, but he listened to Master Qian's book: "The capital is not as good as Guizhou, and I have also passed the imperial examination, although I have never won the middle school, I have spent some time in the capital." It looks glamorous there, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent, although the scholar next to you looks loyal, but I am afraid that he is too weak to be useful, and it is good to bring personal self-defense. β
Mu Qing said in his heart, if there is Lan Ruo, he will definitely be fine. But he still responded with a smile, just for the help of Master Qian so many times: "What Master Qian thought was not bad, but I was negligent." β
Master Qian nodded, and then pointed to a person shrunk not far away: "You come here." β
The man didn't know when he was hiding, and after listening to the words of the money master, he just scratched his head, and then walked out staggeringly. Mu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly to see clearly, although this person had taken off the clothes of the errand servant, his tall and thin figure was still very recognizable.
It's clearly the one who just saw the goalkeeper.
Qian Zhushu spoke unhurriedly: "His name is Yu Peng, he has learned some boxing and kicking, the eldest young master liked him very much when he was at home, I think it is good to let him follow you here, and escort him along the way." β
Mu Qing straightened his expression when he heard him mention Dong Feng. What kind of person Dong Feng is Mu Qing naturally knows, that is a wise and close demon character, and the person he likes should not be bad.
But when Yu Peng approached and smiled, Mu Qing shook the corners of his mouth.
The man laughed, and the little bit of uprightness just now disappeared immediately, and he was very angry, and his handsome face was set off by this smile, and he looked a little inexplicably obscene.
"Hello uncle." Yu Peng seemed to be a little nervous, but when he said this, he directly used the wrong name, and Mu Qing's eyes twitched for a while. Yu Peng also found out, so he laughed again, still with an inexplicable and obscene smile.
Mu Qing smiled on his face, but he was silent in his heart, he never thought that Brother Dong was so good......
