Chapter 109: Selected Books
The land of Jizhou is bloody, and the imperial city of Luoyang sings and dances.
It is the crisp autumn season, and there are already farmers working in the fields outside the city, and the war in Jizhou can not affect them. This year, the harvest in Sizhou is still not bad.
Suddenly, a yellow horse galloped over the ridge of the field with a man, and the wheat that had been sown so hard was not trampled by the horse's hooves, and the farmer, who had been busy all morning, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and glared angrily at the man's back, but when he saw the man's appearance, he hurriedly bent down, as if it was not his field that had been trampled on.
The man who was riding a horse was tall and anxious, wearing a soap-colored official robe and a mink crown on his head, and the most striking thing was that this person had no beard, and a bright yellow gold lacquer saber was tied to his ribs, and the sun shone brightly - the court had a system, and only eunuchs could wear yellow waist knives.
The soldiers guarding the north gate of the urn city were resting against the city gate hole, and suddenly heard the sound of kicking horses' hooves and the jingling of the horse bells, seeing that this person did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, he hurriedly crossed the halberd and planned to stop the galloping horse, but the soldiers around him pushed him away: "Don't stop!" We can't afford to mess with this person! ”
As he spoke, the man was less than ten steps away from the doorway, and quickly took out a seal letter from his bosom and glanced at it in front of the soldiers, and shouted: "A certain is the Yellow Gate in front of the Imperial Palace, and there is something important to meet the king in Xiyuan, so get out of the way quickly!" ”
The eunuch's horses did not slow down in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye they had knocked over two gatekeepers and entered the city, leaving behind a group of soldiers who were eating soil in place.
"Phew! Isn't he just a eunuch, what is there to be arrogant! ”
The little soldier got up from the ground with a halberd and patted the dust on his clothes, this young eunuch is too arrogant, there are twelve city gates outside the inner city of Luoyang, if it is not for His Majesty's call, no matter how anxious things are, they will not gallop into the city.
The soldier covered his mouth and looked around carefully, and there was no one else around the city gate except for these dozen or so people, so he pushed the doorman and scolded in a low voice: "Shut your mouth, don't cause trouble for Lao Tzu!" Do you know who that person is? Your Majesty and the eunuch Jian Shuo of the former guard, like Ma Yue, the captain of Changshui, who you often talk about, are your Majesty's cronies, and they are so red and purple! provoked him, your ancestors have been digging the graves of your ancestors for eight lifetimes! ”
The little soldier smiled in fright, straightened the light helmet on his head and stood aside, muttering in a low voice: "He is Jian Shuo?" It's really majestic, look at the golden saber......"
"It's hard to say that you want to be as majestic as him?" The soldier next to him smiled evilly and patted the soil on the shoulder of the little soldier, and quipped: "You also give a knife to the bottom to keep your three generations of glory and wealth!" ”
"Fuck off!" The little soldier raised his head disdainfully and said: "If I want to be majestic, I also want to be as young and promising as Captain Changshui, and fight for Your Majesty to get rid of rebellion!" ”
"Begging for an egg! Do you think Jian Shuo is a eunuch, so Ma Yue will be clean? The head of the soldier knocked on the helmet of the little soldier, and said disdainfully: "Ma Yue also relied on the eunuch ** to succeed, otherwise he is only a good family in one of the six counties What can he do in Luoyang?" In the final analysis, it was just a eunuch's knife, and the dignitary was killed in the end for a few years. Okay, keep the door honestly, don't keep dreaming of your spring and autumn season! ”
Jian Shuo and Ma Yue, these two upstarts in the imperial court in the past two years, Jian Shuo has been scolded the most is Liu Hong's loyal dog, and the name Ma Yue has caused controversy in the imperial court several times. In the past two years, these two young warriors have become the spokespersons of the Luoyang dream of small families in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, especially Ma Yue, after all, not every family is willing to send their children to be eunuchs, so Ma Yue, who from the wild land of Liangzhou, relied on the exploits of daring to fight and kill to the Luoyang official to two thousand stones has become a dream among the common people.
But this is just the opinion of the common people, and few of the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang look down on this barbarian.
Luoyang, Shangshutai.
Shang Shulang Luo Jun walked briskly in the corridor of the official temple, and behind him was Sima Lang, a young man who had been selected as a boy for three years, not to mention that Sima Lang was just fifteen years old, but his figure was almost as tall as an adult, holding a stack of books and slips and steadily following behind Luo Jun. Tong Zilang is an examination set up by the imperial court to select outstanding prodigies, selecting children between the ages of 12 and 16, once they pass the examination, they can become officials and officials, and those who are excellent can even be Shangshu and Shilang. Sima Lang passed the Tong Zilang exam at the age of twelve, and was later selected as a squire of Shangshutai.
Having such a top boss as Liang Hu is Luo Jun's misfortune and Luo Jun's luck.
He is just a small official of 400 stones, and his scope of responsibility is to draft some official documents, but because his boss is Liang Hu who practices calligraphy every day, he almost takes over the work of the entire electoral department and has practiced his skills. Although it is a bit of a hard work, it is also beneficial to have such a boss. If you change to any other elective department Shangshu, Luo Jun will not stay in Shangshutai for a full year, for no other reason, the election department is a job to offend people, there are many parties in the DPRK and China, no matter who you ask for an official will make others dissatisfied, whether it is a eunuch or a clear stream, Luo Jun is such a scholar from a small official, not to mention Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, Yuan Kui Yang Ci, even some juniors are not something he can offend.
But Luo Jun is not afraid, no matter who he has promoted as an official in the past year, Liang Hu can always resist all the pressure and let him let go of the work he should do.
When Luo Jun entered the courtyard, he saw Liang Hu practicing his eight-point characters by the Qingshui Pond. Luo Jun is a talented person, but he is full of respect for Liang Hu, an old man with a mixed reputation in the outside world, and stands under the tree next to him and waits for Liang Hu to finish writing.
Liang Hu writes very seriously, never being disturbed by others, Luo Jun is a quarter of an hour has passed, Liang Hu raised his head and suddenly said: "Ah, it's Xiaoyuan, when did you come?" ”
Luo Jun smiled lightly and said respectfully, "Shangshu, Xiaguan has just walked here. ”
"Just arrived." Liang Hu put down the wolf hair disapprenosingly, touched the carefully groomed beard and said with a smile: "You still walk so lightly, the old man didn't hear it." Is there something going on? ”
Luo Jun saluted respectfully, turned around and took the top book from Sima Lang's hand, unfolded it in front of Liang Hu and said, "This is the official document compiled by Xia Guan Yiten, please take a look." ”
Liang Hu took it with a smile and said, "Didn't I tell you, you don't need me to see these things, you just call the shots, I want to do the right thing." ”
The main thing Liang Hu said was the calligraphy he wrote to the Minister of Minister, the Empress Dowager of Heaven.
Saying that, Liang Hu still took a look, "Liu Bei of the Zhuojun Righteous Army, Captain of Anxi County." The general Peng Liu Biao was reappointed as the candidate of the Northern Army......"
Liu Biao...... One of the Eight Horses? He is a clan, I know, what about this Liu Bei? After asking, Liang Hu felt that it was a little redundant, and as he was talking, the cangtou of the official temple entered the courtyard and bowed down and said, "Shangshu, there is a letter from Xiyuan, and Your Majesty has called you over." ”
Hearing this, Liang Hu pushed the book back to Luo Jun, straightened the crown of his head with both hands, picked up the calligraphy that had just been written and dried, blew the ink on it, rolled it in his hand and walked out, and only halfway through did he remember that Luo Jun was still standing behind, turned his head and said to him: "You can decide those things, the old man will go to see Your Majesty first." ”
