Xia Xun didn't know that the early dynasty had opened, and hurried to the noon gate to check the waist card and entered the palace.

At this time, the civil officials have entered the inner hall from the left gate, and the military attache entered the inner hall from the right door, and stood in the south of the Jinshui Bridge according to the rank order, after the eunuchs whipped the whip, the officials of each department crossed the bridge one after another, and stood left and right under the Danqi of the Tianmen Gate.

The generals of Tianwei are all wearing shining iron armor helmets, holding swords on both sides of the royal road and behind the civil and military attaché class, His Majesty Dan's bells and drums are playing, and the brocade-clothed guards are covered with five umbrellas and four fans, and they are standing on the left and right from the east and west; There are two envoys, one holding the umbrella cover, standing on the seat, one holding the "armament", miscellaneous two fans, and standing in the middle of the seat.

The emperor took his seat, and then sounded the whip, Honglu Temple sang 'enter the class', the minister of civil and military affairs bowed three times, and the hundred officials began to play.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, large and small public and private matters were all handled by the public dynasty, and the early dynasty dealt with very complicated matters. Elections, grain distribution, proposals, prison executions, the opening of yamen, as well as disasters, rain, the number of prisoners, and many other miscellaneous matters, such as "buying cattle and farm tools" and "recovering stolen goods from family members". Even the officials and soldiers guarding the imperial city searched and found the stolen property of the inner government, and they had to play it right, and the emperor sent it down, which was indeed very cumbersome.

On the other hand, there are still relatively few things that military attachés can do correctly, because when it comes to confidential affairs in the army and important matters such as guarding the gate and guarding the gates, the generals are allowed to make announcements in private, and there is no need to say it explicitly in the court. Therefore, there is no need to mention the recent suppression of the White Lotus rebellion in Shaanxi and related matters that the government and the opposition have been concerned about.

Zhu Yuanzhang was officially promoted to the palace here, and he began to go to court early, and those few Fengxian officials who supervised the appearance and behavior had nothing to do, so they picked up a small book and prepared to leave. But the imperial envoy Wang Wenjie was just about to turn around, when he suddenly saw a military academy wearing the uniform of a guard with a sword in front of the emperor throwing off his steps and running towards this side, and couldn't help laughing: "Yo ho, you're really bold." ”

Wang Wenjie put away his smiling face, pointed at Xia Xun, and shouted: Everyone loves Thirteen Niang, everyone loves Mumu Milk, "Come on, this person is out of order, take it immediately!" ”

Xia Xun didn't know that he had made a mistake, this guy was specially ordered to enter the palace, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always had a donkey temper, who had always had a donkey temper, who deliberately vomited with the civil officials and made him disgusting, so he didn't go through the etiquette training, and the other guards on duty in the palace had to accept at least a month of palace etiquette learning, Xia Xun studied for a total of three days, and the main time was used to familiarize himself with the standing, walking, and the terrain of the inner court.

He pondered that if he ran faster, he would be able to catch up with the early dynasty, and he would deal with the early dynasty first, and then ask the emperor for leave. It's like we office workers want to take a vacation, and we always have to be relatively positive in front of the leader in the first few days.

The two picketing lieutenants rushed over and grabbed him, Xia Xun didn't know what he was wrong with, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing, I am the vanguard of the government army in front of the imperial station, and I am in a hurry to go to the court." ”

The supervising envoy Wang Wenjie has been a court discipline official for many years, and this old man is a master who is not recognized by his six relatives, otherwise he would not be allowed to be this official who specializes in cursing civil and military officials. As soon as he heard Xia Xun's words, the royal envoy picked up the thumb brother, and praised it in a weird way: "You have a kind of guard who stands in front of the palace, and dares to be late, so let the emperor wait for you?" is still running in the palace, are there any rules? ”

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "There is indeed something in the Xiaguan's family, it is too late, and I still ask the supervisor to forgive me." ”

The royal envoy sneered, "I forgive your sins? Isn't that a crime committed by the ruler? ”

He turned his face and shouted, "Master of Ceremonies, tell him which rule he has broken!" ”

The petty official of the Department of Ceremonies immediately took a step forward and said backwards: "Those who are chaotic in court clothes, noisy in laughter, misbehaved, slow in standing, improper in class, unceremonious, unceremonious, absent for no reason, wearing classes and battles, and eating and drinking in the corridor are guilty, and the magistrate can immediately order them to be arrested and punished!" ”

Wang Wenjie said vividly: "Heard clearly? It doesn't matter if you are a prince or a prince, if you violate the rules of the palace, the official has the right to punish you. Drag him aside and hit five boards! ”

This is really a good sight for the king of Hades, the little ghost is difficult, when he encounters such a tricky Feng Xian official, Xia Xun has no way at all, the royal envoy does not listen to his explanation at all, and immediately dragged him aside, and beat the five boards firmly, and then wrote down Xia Xun's name and official subordinates in the examination book, and led people to Shi Shiran.

Xia Xun was hit by five boards, although his butt did not bloom, but it was also painful, he covered his ass and limped and finally rushed to the front of the Fengtian Palace, and saw that the court meeting had already begun, at this time he dared to go in, so he had to find a place outside casually and stand still. By the time the early dynasty was over, it was almost noon, the civil and military officials retreated, the emperor drove to the harem, and the hungry Xia Xun took the opportunity to follow.

"Father-in-law of Xiaofuzi, father-in-law of Xiaofuzi."

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang entered the Jinshen Hall and saw one of his personal little eunuchs come out that Xia Xun seized the opportunity to shout to him. Cheng Jinyu is not worth it today, and he is most familiar with Xiaofuzi. Xiao Fuzi was only eleven years old, and there were six brothers in the family, because the family was poor, and he couldn't afford to support him, so he sent this little six children to the palace.

Xiao Fuzi is a very well-behaved child, Xia Xun stands in front of the left side of the throne when he stands on duty, and there is an official with a knife and a small yellow door in front of the left and right sides of the throne.

Xiao Fuzi turned his head to look, couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and hurriedly ran over: "Ouch, Brother Yang, why did you come." ”

Xia Xun poked his head into the palace and asked, "The emperor didn't ask about me, did he?" ”

Xiao Fuzi hid his stutter and smiled: "It's strange if you don't ask, you are the person under the emperor's nose, and suddenly disappeared, can the emperor not ask?" Today, the court officially promulgated the edict of the future scientific examination of the north and south rankings, this is what you suggested to the emperor, just for this, the emperor also has to come to you, just asked why you are not here? ”

Xia Xun couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, how to mention this to the emperor? Otherwise, go and meet the chief of Benwei first, maybe you can take a vacation without going through the emperor? The guards around the emperor, I'm afraid that the general of this guard won't fail to tell the emperor, right? Don't you have to go around to Zhu Yuanzhang at that time?

He was hesitating, so he listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions inside: "Well, let's take it to the imperial grandson for approval first, and if the imperial grandson can't decide, then he will come to see me." ”

"Yes!" A small yellow door agreed, walked out with a tall stack of concerto, and then listened to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Yang Xu, why is you late for the early dynasty?" ”

As soon as Xia Xun looked up, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked out, this old guy has such good ears? He can hear me so little?

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hear the whispers between him and Xiao Fuzi, but when he just sneakily followed the guard of honor to the palace, he had already fallen into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. Xia Xun didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly bowed down, Xiao Fuzi was originally ordered to go to the Ministry of Ministers to meet him, but seeing Brother Yang like this, he had nothing to do, so he had to look at him helplessly, and turned around to pass on the will.

Xiao Fuzi walked not far away, bypassing a few bushes of flowers and trees, and suddenly saw the little county lord of Zhongshan Wangfu was squatting behind a cluster of flowers, the little princess of Anqing giggled, staggered steps, looking for among the bushes of flowers and grass, as soon as he saw him coming, the little county lord raised his finger and made a silent gesture to him, Xiao Fuzi nodded understandingly, and continued to walk forward pretending to ignore it.

He took two steps, and suddenly remembered that Brother Yang and the little county lord's family seemed to have some relationship, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly turned back.

Ming'er was so anxious that she waved her hand to him again and again, and Xiao Fuzi smiled and said, "County Lord, Brother Yang Xuyang, it's too late today." ”

Ming'er was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said, "Is it too early or late?" It's too late, it's too late, what's the big deal. ”

At the moment of speaking, Princess Anqing had already followed the sound around the flowers, threw herself on Ming'er's back, hugged her neck tightly, and said with a smile: "Catch it, catch it, my sister was caught by me!" ”

Ming'er stood up with her on her back, patted her little ass gently, looked at Xiao Fuzi suspiciously, Xiao Fuzi rubbed her hands, and said with a dry smile: "This ......, the county lord, the palace has its own palace rules, and being late in the morning will be punished, and the slave maid looks at Brother Yang's worried look, I'm afraid it will ...... will be punished by the emperor. ”

"Oh?"

Ming'er rolled her eyes and said, "I know, you go and get busy with yours." ”

Xiao Fuzi said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, the slave and maid will go on an errand." ”

Watching Xiao Fuzi walk away, Ming'er said, "Let's go, Anqing, let's go and play with your father." ”

Princess Anqing rode on her back and shouted: "I don't want it, my father can't tell stories, and my father won't hide and hide with me......"

Ming'er comforted: "Today is different, do you remember the guy who ate your sugar man in one bite last time?" Your father is probably going to spank him, do you want to see it? ”

Princess Anqing quieted down, thought about it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh! Did you say that Yang has a big mouth? Look, look, sister, take me to see the spanking! ”

"Because of that, you're late for the morning morning?"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Xia Xun's reason and said with a calm face.

Xia Xun bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

"That woman, since you like it, why did you abduct and elope without knowing that the matchmaker was marrying in the first place?"

"In this ......, the emperor, the minister originally had a family affair in his hometown, and his wife had a subordinate, but he was a civil non-official at that time, so he was not qualified to marry the right person. The Peng family is also a big surname in Qingzhou, how could they be willing to let their daughter be a concubine? So ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "So you made this decision, ruined the chastity of other people's daughters' families, and forced their families to submit?" ”

Xia Xun sweated profusely, and his head was lowered lower: "This ......, Jinyi will start at night." Not so, just because ...... It's just that the minister has been away from his hometown for many years, there is no news, and his wife has a suspicion, and after the minister returns to his hometown, he ...... dissolved the marriage contract with the minister, so ......, it was only because the minister was on duty in the palace and didn't have time to go to Qingzhou to propose marriage, which caused this misunderstanding......"

Zhu Yuanzhang today officially promulgated the policy of dividing the north and south of the imperial examination, and solved the problem that the north and the south may be antagonistic and the world is uneasy because of the scientific examination in the future. Zhu Yuanzhang calmed his face and brushed his sleeves and said: "According to the laws of the imperial court, if you are absent from the court without taking leave, you will be deducted for a season!" ”

Xia Xun hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Can...... What about the minister's leave to go to Qingzhou? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was almost laughed at by him, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Muddy things, if you don't cure you of the crime of weathering, it is already cheaper for you, and you dare to get an inch and bargain with me!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and entered the Jinshen Palace, Xia Xun didn't stand or kneel, so he had to be stupid there.
