Chapter 442: The End of Qingping (12)
Shangyang Palace, Fragrance Palace, Qionglin Banquet are located here, overlooking the beautiful scenery on both sides of the valley. Pineapple
After the palace test gold list was issued, the Empress Wu gave the new branch jinshi a new cyan official robe, indicating that he had broken away from the civil nationality and became an official, starting from the Jingfu Gate of the Taichu Palace, crossing the horse and touring the streets, going around the city, and participating in the Qionglin banquet in Shangyang Palace.
Such a moment of scenery, since the young Qinlou Chu Pavilion to join in the fun, the singer and dancer Qing Qi people and the red people, the congratulatory road, seeing the handsome young Jinshi, is even more boiling, throwing colored silk, throwing fragrant fruit, screaming to show goodwill, cheering, excited, with the good family girl next to the road also followed the enthusiasm of a little bit, some bold, the sachet and brocade with the hand are thrown out.
The fly in the ointment is that among the new science and technology scholars, the three who came out on top are not very likable in description, and they are older, all of them are bearded characters, which makes the celebration of the whole city a little discounted.
The timing of Quan Ce's arrival was very thrilling, and the street parade team arrived at the square in front of Shangyang Palace almost at the same time, his body has not recovered, although he is eager, but he does not dare to take risks, the movement of spurring the horse is not slow, in the eyes of the onlookers, it is very chic and elegant.
"Kwon Lang-kun ......"
"Champion Hou ......"
The Qinglou woman standing on the Gushui Bridge had the best vision, and recognized Quan Ce for the first time, and immediately went crazy, jumping and shouting loudly, waving the Jinpa fan, the scales were like clouds, almost covering the sky and the sun.
The people near and far heard their coquettish voices, you pushed me, tiptoed, looked in front of the palace gate, regardless of whether they saw it or not, followed by a blind shout, the women of the Qinglou did not shout at this time, there was a loud singer raised her head, and all the singers echoed and sang "If the two feelings are long", the warbler song and swallow dance, provoked the onlookers and couldn't hold back the applause, the song echoed, boiling and rebellious, and a little more excited than the jinshi passed.
That champion Lang is over fifty years old, but it is rare to be a cheerful character, but also quite obedient to the right policy, deliberately stopped the colorful horses, paused the street procession, the power of the horse in front, and raised his hands high, high-fived and harmonious, the Jinshi behind him was excited, many people also clapped and danced, the people around were even more excited, and the shouts were earth-shattering.
Quan Ce didn't have time to respond, he drove his horse to the palace gate, the palace gate guards scattered with brushes, and the courteous Chunguan Yamen Etiquette Officer, with a lovely smile, stepped forward to hold Yu Xiaoyao, and said in a low voice, "Champion Hou doesn't need to panic, Cui Shilang is serious and conscientious, he should still be strictly checking the details of the ceremony, and the Champion Hou can calmly go to the Fragrance Palace."
Quan Ce nodded slightly, slightly relieved, Li Li is the eunuch of the palace, and if the announcement of the will is delayed, he will definitely not be able to hide it, Cui Rong should have been summoned by Li Li, deliberately delayed time for him, straightened his clothes, straightened the Zhanlu sword worn on his waist, held the sun and moon in his left hand, shook off his right hand, and strode into the palace gate.
Seeing his back walking away, the ceremonial official coughed lightly and shouted, "Champion Lang, all the jinshi, please get off the horse and line up, tidy up your appearance, this official is ordered to teach you court etiquette, and listen carefully, don't make mistakes."
The surrounding spring officials and yamen officials beat gongs and drums to maintain order, and the bustle of the square in front of the palace gate came to an end.
In front of the Fragrant Palace, there are already many important ministers standing on duty, all the prime ministers of Fengge Luantai are all here, and the six departments and nine secretaries of the three provinces are all there, but there is no trace of the generals, and when the power comes, many people show a look of surprise, obviously the news of calling him to participate in the Qionglin banquet is very well blocked.
There was a commotion in the shift, many people were moving and retreating, Liang Wang Wusan, who was standing in the first place, thought slightly, waved his hand, held Quan Ce's hand, and showed a friendly face, "Don't be busy, the champion Hou is a close minister, His Majesty summoned him, presumably to be with him, but he doesn't have to wait with me to stand on duty, if the champion Hou doesn't dislike it, how about waiting for the order by the king's side?" ”
Quan Ce reciprocated with a smile, "listen to His Highness's arrangement", tied his clothes, and stood on the side.
Before long, the new branch jinshi also went to the front of the palace to line up.
The sound of the tiger roaring sounded, and the Luan Yi guards dressed in auspicious clothes were arranged in layers, stepping on the drums of Yale and taking their respective positions, solemn and majestic.
The queen of martial arts arrived, dressed in a grand robe of gold and purple staggered, dragon and phoenix, and walked slowly down from the top of Luanyu, the skirt dragged more than a zhang behind, the gait was high-spirited, the phoenix eyes were like electricity, and the weather was thousands.
"Ministers and others meet Your Majesty" The ministers and jinshi bowed down in unison.
Empress Wu raised her chin high, glanced at the ministers, looked at the trembling jinshi for a while, a light smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and her wide sleeves waved, "Get up, Quan Ce, come forward"
This order can be heard by the courtiers in the Zhengdan feast, not to mention the Qionglin banquet, the face is not different, but there is a slight commotion in the Jinshi group, fleeting, it is rumored that the champion Hou is favored, and when he sees it today, he deserves his name.
Quan Ce stepped forward, and a cold gaze shot at Empress Wu's side, and he glanced at it, it was Zhang Changzong, who was wearing the uniform of the captain of the Blue Silk Army, his body was getting weaker and weaker, wearing heavy armor, and his waist couldn't stand up.
"Today should be a grand event for Wenchen, although you are a martial artist, but you are a literary name, accompany me to meet these rising stars, but also broaden your horizons, and rest proud of your talents" Empress Wu took Quan Ce's arm and walked side by side, while walking, while explaining the reason why he was summoned, like a rather compassionate elder, the supreme majesty of Fang Cai dissipated without a trace, "I seem to have not seen you for a long time, my body is better?" ”
Quan Ce adjusted his stride, synchronized with her, and responded with a smile, "The minister is already very good, but Aunt Taiping is not at ease, so she insists on detaining the minister in the house to recuperate, and the minister has been ordered to retrain the army guard for a long time, but he has not even gone to the government office, and he is embarrassed."
Since she wants to show the royal family's affection, Quan Ce is naturally happy to cooperate.
When Empress Wu heard this, she laughed, reached out to stroke his back, and scolded, "Your aunt is all for you, and Hugh is willful."
The ministers and Jinshi lowered their heads and accompanied them, only listening and not looking, this is also where the etiquette lies, only Zhang Changzong ignored these, his eyes stared at the back of Quan Ce, as if he was about to breathe fire.
Quan Ce was so clever, taking the opportunity to step on the Danqi after supporting Wuhou, he swept sideways, and took in the resentment in his eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he smiled coldly.
Empress Wu's body was slightly unstable, Quan Ce hurriedly reached out and hugged her lower back, and then dodged away, between the lightning and flint, almost no one noticed, only Zhang Changzong was about to tear his eyes, and the smile on the corner of Quan Ce's mouth was even worse.
Empress Wu glanced at him, led him to the throne, stretched out his hands, and said solemnly, "On this auspicious day of the moon, I have won the world's talents, Qing and others are fortunate to enter my court, the court is fortunate to welcome Qing and others, ten years of cold windows, this is the end, a hundred years of fame, Yu Si restarted, and Wangqing and others forged ahead, served the court, and did not lose hope"
"The ministers are willing to be loyal to your majesty and the court," the scholars responded.
The banquet is like flowing water, according to the fixed program, the top three have a chance to show their talents, all of them are long speeches, official articles, quite complicated, and the power and policy are dazed, but by the side of the Empress Wu, everyone is watching, and even being lazy is not successful, so he can barely support it, and take the opportunity of toasting to leave the side of the Empress Wu, mixed into the feast, and made up his mind not to go back.
"Champion Hou, Jinke Talent, can you still see it?" I don't know when I came to Quan Ce, the old-fashioned and square old man, there was a hint of narrowness in his eyes at this moment.
"Well, the champion is excellent" Quan Zhi avoided the important and light, looked at Wei Chuhou and smiled, drank a cup of wine, and staggered by.
There are more than 1,300 people who should take the examination in this department, more than 200 people in the gold list, and the advantages of the five surnames and seven other wealthy lords are still there, among which the Xingyang Zheng family and the Zhaojun Li family are the most outstanding, and there are more than 40 people on the list, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the list, and more than 50 people are Shangguan Wan'er, Ge Hui and Taiping, and the two princesses of the daughter are in the bag.
Although these people are not weak in their own talents, and they are all Hongyi's generation, they can all be on the list, and Wei Chuhou's eyes are precious.
Between the staggered plans, the power strategy slowly got drunk.
Seeing Wei Chuhou being surrounded by the Jinshi in the center, with a straight face, he couldn't help laughing, the so-called things must be opposed, and people who never participated in the court struggle faction, once they chose the person to rely on, they acted more radically than those courtiers who were old in fighting.
