But when he met the lieutenant who announced the decree at the Jingshi Nancheng Post House, he knew that all this was different.

The Qianqing Palace played a single pair, which is unimaginable for a master from the sixth grade.

It wasn't until the lieutenant official who announced the decree said it twice that Sun Chuanting reflected it and bowed to accept the decree.

After receiving the order, the post man of the Nancheng Post House stepped forward to congratulate.

"Congratulations to Lord Sun, congratulations to Lord Sun."

Nancheng Post House is the largest post house in the Ming Dynasty, and officials who enter Beijing generally settle here, and the level of the post house is higher than that of ordinary post houses.

The post houses in Daming are mostly served by the officials, belonging to the sequence of not entering the stream, individual such as Tongzhou, Linqing, Xuanfu and other relatively large, and in the key position of the post house, the post is graded, but all are the last of the nine products.

And because the post house in the south of the capital is mostly the place where the officials who enter Beijing settle here, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the affairs are busy.

So at the beginning, when Sun Chuanting first arrived at the post house, Yi Cheng did not come to greet him, but just a post guard stepped forward to check the customs and check in.

But after hearing the news that the Son of Heaven was going to summon Sun Chuanting in the Qianqing Palace, the post man rushed over.

The post man of the Nancheng Post House is also surnamed Sun, and his name is prosperous, and he is an old official who has been transferred to the official for a long time, and he is used to looking at people's eyes.

Although the post of the Nancheng Post House is also a seven-rank official, but it is a miscellaneous official, when the meritorious and famous officials are selected, they would rather be a county or the other left second official, no one is willing to do the post of the Nancheng Post House, let alone Jinshi.

If anyone is given a post when they elect an official, it will be humiliating.

Therefore, the post of the Nancheng Post House is basically a channel for the old officials of the Beijing division to transfer to the official, and the post is a long time in the Beijing division as an official, and his work in the world is not an opponent for the general prefect.

So when he saw that Yi Cheng, who didn't want to see him before, he suddenly licked his face and rushed to flatter, Sun Chuanting thought that he was a petty official from the sixth grade, and he couldn't get into the eyes of others, which must have been caused by this Qianqing Palace.

Sun Chuanting happened to be the first to arrive in the capital, and he also wanted to know more about the direction of the capital, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"This official has just arrived in Beijing, I don't know where the joy that Lord Sun said comes from?"

The post man did not speak as an official, and a small official next to him stepped forward to explain.

"When the old man first arrived in Beijing, he didn't know that this magistrate entered Beijing with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and recruited the Son of Heaven to ask for the right person alone, and he will be promoted soon, and it is not impossible to catch up with the luck and even be promoted to the third level."

"A while ago, a prefect from the south of the country was promoted to the third level in less than two months since he met His Majesty, and now he has gone to Guizhou to serve as the governor."

Zheng Ruxin's affairs, Sun Chuanting naturally knows, although he does not ask about political affairs in Daizhou, Shanxi, but he still heard a little about the strange things in the officialdom, not to mention the strange things that were promoted to three levels in a row.

"Lord Yicheng has praised it falsely, this official has not done an inch, but he is just acting correctly on the order, how can he have the situation of Governor Zheng changing the land and returning to the stream."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he smiled and returned the salute.

Sun Chuanting knew that Zheng Ruxin's ability to be promoted to three levels in a row was naturally due to the fact that the Son of Heaven rewarded him for proposing to change the land and return to the stream, and he was promoted to the third level, so he was able to go to Guizhou to serve as the governor of Quanzhi and preside over the return of the land.

"Haha, it seems that Lord Sun doesn't believe the words of the lower officials, so the lower officials will prepare thin wine, and they will see after the old man Sun plays it right."

Seeing that Sun Chuanting didn't believe it, Sun Yicheng said with a smile in front of everyone.

Sun Yicheng had also been in the officialdom for ten years before, and he was not a rigid person, so he replied, "Then thank you for your auspicious words." ”

After speaking, he followed the lieutenant out of the post house and went straight to the Forbidden City.

However, as soon as Sun Chuanting left, the surrounding onlookers and helpers exploded, and after Sun Yicheng also left, he opened a gambling house on whether Sun Chuanting could be promoted.

There are even those who do good deeds, and they began to bet on how many levels Sun Chuanting can be promoted.

However, Sun Chuanting didn't have the heart to care about these, he didn't think that the Son of Heaven would play it alone, so he didn't prepare at all, and at this time, on the way to the palace with the Zhongguan, he started the draft.

Seeing Sun Chuanting's solemn face, the lieutenant didn't dare to disturb, so he took care of himself and led the way in front.

When he came to Chengtian Gate along the Chang'an Imperial Road and looked at the soldiers guarding the palace, Sun Chuanting knew that the sky had indeed changed.

I saw that the palace soldiers at the Chengtian Gate were all standing upright, motionless, like statues, and the weapons they were carrying had also changed their styles.

Although Sun Chuanting is a civil official, he was born in the Zhenwu Guard Station in Daizhou, and when he was a child, he was surrounded by martial artists, so he also knew the main weapons of the Ming soldiers.

In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary soldiers wore mandarin duck jackets and big hats, and troops with good conditions would give ordinary soldiers waist cloth and face armor, but there were no guards.

Most of the weapons used by ordinary soldiers are waist knives and spears, and there are also bows and arrows used, but the number is relatively small, and those who can match bows and arrows generally belong to the best among ordinary soldiers, and they will also get more silver.

Of course, the forbidden army guarding the palace city, Sun Chuanting also saw it before he resigned, and generally appointed soldiers such as Jin Wuwei and Yulin Wei with big shoulders and round waists, all of whom were people with bright armor and bright swords and guns, and they looked very bluffing.

Sun Chuanting, who came from the border area, knew that that kind of soldier had never seen blood, and was just a spectacle.

But the Miyagi guards that Sun Chuanting saw today were different, although they were also shrewd and strong, but vaguely, Sun Chuanting could feel a compelling murderous aura.

When he was a child, he felt this kind of breath on the streets of Daizhou, and it was the breath of being on the battlefield and killing people.

And the weapons of these guards are also different from the past, they look like birds, but they are much more delicate, and there are bright stabs on the top, and the barrel is very long, but it feels very light, and the guards carry it very well on one shoulder.

Sun Chuanting wanted to step forward to see clearly, but the guard's compelling momentum made him instantly remember that this was in front of the imperial city, so he dispelled this idea and only followed the lieutenant to drive forward.

When the lieutenant entered the Chengtian Gate, a sergeant guarding the gate walked over with a seemingly rhythmic step, one hand tightly pulling the strap of the bird on his back, and the other hand swinging rhythmically with the pace.

Although Sun Chuanting didn't know what kind of etiquette it was, he felt that it was very good-looking.

When he came closer, the sergeant clasped his fists and saluted, and then spoke.

"Please show your belt tag."

Sun Chuanting glanced at the sergeant in surprise, then at the lieutenant, and then waited for the lieutenant to scold the sergeant.

In the Tianqi Dynasty in Sun Chuanting's memory, the lieutenants who can come out to announce the decree are not ordinary people among the eunuchs, they are more or less famous and surnamed, at least they can see the Son of Heaven, and such lieutenants are not the ones who are guilty of these sergeants.
