"Official positions below the fifth grade are not allowed to enter the court!"

At the gate of the Chang'an Palace, the two teams of Yulin Army stood upright, wearing elite chain mail, and their eyes were all proud, but the leading member of the palace gate guard general was full of bitterness, and carefully said the sentence just now.

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass the general, there are rules in the palace, and you are not allowed to enter the court below the rank of five-rank official."

This explains again, and in more detail than before.

Li Yun's face was calm, and he nodded warmly: "This king is not difficult for you, the rules are the rules, except for the period of the two annual court meetings, the five-grade officials are indeed not qualified to enter the court......"

These words made the palace gate general breathe a sigh of relief.

Cheng Chumo next to him looked a little disappointed.

Everyone has their own pursuits and ideals, even if it is a second stunned, then they hope to be able to get ahead by themselves, his four good partners are now five-grade officials, only he is still a poor white body, although there is a small prince on his head, but in fact, he does not have any official titles.

Li Yun watched coldly from the sidelines, taking in Cheng Chumo's expression.

The palace gate general next to him was obviously also a shrewd person, and he also saw the loss on Cheng Chumo's face, the palace gate general hesitated, and suddenly cautiously said his idea: "Although Cheng Xiaoguo Gong has no official position, he is a concubine personally given by His Majesty to marry, although he has never been married, he still has an identity ......."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said with a hint: "If Cheng Xiaoguo Gong wants to enter the palace to greet the elders, he will immediately go to the palace gate to report the record, but the time to enter the palace must wait until dawn, and you can't go in on the fifth watch day like now, and the people who enter the palace on the fifth watch can only be courtiers, and they can only enter the area of the Taiji Palace." ”

These words made Cheng Chumo a little moved, but then he shook his head a little frustratedly, and said in frustration: "I have also entered the palace a few times, and every time I greet the elders, if I use this excuse, then I... Then I'm ......"

He didn't speak, obviously not wanting to express his disappointment. Using this excuse to enter the palace has no meaning of entering the court in a dignified manner.

"Don't bother!"

Li Yun had been watching coldly, and finally spoke, his tone was still calm, but with an unquestionable firmness, he said: "Cheng Chumo entered the palace just to come to the early dynasty, he didn't go to meet the elders, he was to participate in the early dynasty......"

The general of the palace gate suddenly turned bitter, and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, the last general does not have this ability." ”

"This king has!"

Li Yun smiled slightly, and suddenly reached out to his waist, but when he heard a crisp sound, a white light suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he looked at Li Yun again, he had already lifted a three-foot long sword in his hand, and asked the palace gate general lightly: "This sword, do you recognize it?" ”

The palace gate general's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly agreed: "Know, know, naturally know, this is the sword of the Son of Heaven given by His Majesty, and only King Zhao can be in charge of it in today's world." ”

"Good!"

Li Yun laughed and said, "It's good to know!" ”

He turned around suddenly, gently put the Son of Heaven Sword on Cheng Chumo's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Chumo, you kneel down on one knee." ”

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled by Li Yun's intentions, but he was still obedient and really knelt down on one knee in front of the palace gate.

It happened that at this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and there was also the sound of wheels rolling on the ground, which was the military generals of the Tang Dynasty who came to the court, or rode horses or cars to the palace gate.

When it was, the sky was not bright, but the lanterns and torches were burning in front of the palace gate, and the area in front of the door was as bright as day, Lao Cheng and a few horseback nationals were bragging and farting, and suddenly someone said softly, pointing to the palace gate and saying: "Cheng Zhijie, look, is that your boy?" Why did he get down on one knee with a sword on his shoulder? Hey, no, the man with the sword is King Zhao, the King of Zhao in Xifu of Hebei Province......"

Lao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes rubbed to look over.

But in front of the palace gate, two teams of Yu Lin Wei stood tall, and in the middle of the two teams of Yu Lin Wei, there were two young men standing and kneeling.

Li Yun held the Son of Heaven Sword and rested on Cheng Chumo's shoulder, and said in a leisurely voice: "Cheng Chumo, you hold your head high and look at the teacher!" ”

Cheng Chumo hurriedly raised his head and looked at his master in a daze.

Li Yun also looked at his apprentice.

His tone was obviously very flat, but his soft voice was like a thunderbolt in his ears, and he said: "Your Majesty gave me the Sword of the Son of Heaven, and I have an overview of the ten officials and people of the Tang Dynasty, but in the past two years, I have never used the Sword of the Son of Heaven as a teacher, and I have always told myself that this is the authority of the Son of Heaven, and I have no right to act on my behalf, but today is different, and I have to break my own rules for the teacher......"

He paused slightly when he said this, and suddenly snorted lightly in his throat, and said with a solemn face: "Today, there is a young man Cheng Chumo, a person from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, born in the Lu Guogong Mansion, the son of Yan, although he is white, but he has made outstanding achievements, three years ago the displaced people fled to Chang'an, Cheng Chumo made salt for the country to share, two years ago he went to Hebei, and ate and slept with the people, as the eldest son of the country, often stayed in the fields, dug irrigation canals for the people, stood barefoot in the water in the cold winter, dog days, robbed the crops, withstood the scorching sun with a bare back, peeled several layers, the king asked, Who can be the son of meritorious people in the world? ”

With these words, Li Yun's voice was very loud, and those princes in the distance stopped their horses one after another, looking at the scene in front of the palace gate with solemn eyes.

Lao Cheng was also watching, but his eyes were a little stunned, and he suddenly felt that his shoulder was slapped heavily, and when he turned his head, he found that it was the second brother Qin Shubao, but when he saw the yellow-faced man, he looked relieved, and said in a deep voice: "Zhijie, your child has grown up." ”

Lao Cheng suddenly felt a little sad, and his dignified eyes became moist.

My son, grown up!

Before he knew it, he had done so much.

Parents from ancient times to the present day have a favorite of this one!

At this time, Li Yun's voice sounded again, and it came into everyone's ears leisurely, and said: "There are meritorious deeds in the world, meritorious deeds should be rewarded, my Tang Dynasty official is a system of recommendation, and the five grades or more are given by the Son of Heaven, this king will do a thing of transgressing the throne today, and I will use the sword of the Son of Heaven to give a five-grade official......"

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly became higher, and he said proudly: "There is a high apprentice Cheng Chumo under the King of Zhao in Xifu, who has made great contributions to the establishment of the country and the people, and has said since ancient times, and the virtuous do not avoid relatives, this king is the king of Xifu Zhao, and recommends my disciple to enter the court as an official, and then holds the sword of His Majesty the Son of Heaven, and gives Cheng Chu the post of the five products, there is a sword here, which will take effect immediately, from today on, Cheng Chumo is a dignified and upright five-grade official." ”

Wupinguan doesn't sound big, but it's actually really amazing.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the first and second products basically belong to the official positions of the elderly, and a total of five or six people have been awarded.

The five-rank official can enter the court, and he is already a bigwig-level figure, although Cheng Chumo can also mix more than the fifth rank by inheriting the title, but it has to wait until the old Cheng dies.

Cheng Chu was stunned and knelt on one knee, obviously stunned by Li Yun's gift, this former little overlord of Chang'an, there was a roar in his head at this time.

Li Yun slowly withdrew the sword of the Son of Heaven, inserted it back into his waist with a sonorous sound, and then followed with the scabbard, holding it in his hand and shouting into the palace: "From today onwards, this sword will be handed back, and in two years, this king will only use this ...... this time."

In two years, it was only used once!

This time it was used on Cheng Chumo!

Not far away, those princes were so envious that they all looked at Cheng Yanjin beside him, at this time Cheng Yanjin's eyes were moist, and everyone heard the creaking of his fists.

A prince in the crowd sighed softly, and said with great envy: "Back then, the little overlord of Chang'an, he was named a five-grade official in one day, hey, Cheng Zhijie, a good Cheng Zhijie." ”

At this time, the gate of the palace had been opened, and seeing that the time of the early dynasty was about to come, everyone did not dare to delay, and dismounted and walked to the palace gate on foot.

And Li Yun, who was in front of the palace gate, looked at the general again, and asked with a smile, "How is it now?" Can Cheng Chumo go to court? ”

The general of the palace gate took a deep breath, and couldn't hide his envy for Cheng Chumo in his eyes, and suddenly bowed his hand respectfully, and said solemnly: "The last general, Zhang Fangping, the palace Yulin Guard, respectfully invites King Zhao of Xifu to move into the palace......"

After speaking, he looked at Cheng Chumo again, and said solemnly again: "Please also ask Cheng Chumo, who is the fifth grade, to move into the palace as well." ”

This time, I didn't call Cheng Xiaoguogong, I shouted Cheng Chumo, who was a five-grade official job.

Cheng Chumo only felt a hot chest in his chest, and he couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart anymore, he jumped up from the ground and hugged Li Yun's old waist directly.

"Aha, master, master, the apprentice is so happy, the apprentice is really happy......"

This joy and excitement is just like the night when the salted fish was sold for the first time, when 2,000 homeless people bought food and returned, Cheng Chumo also laughed so wildly.

The two stunned people have only laughed like this crazy twice since they were young.

This thing jumped and laughed, and wanted to hug Li Yun again, Li Yun suddenly dodged away, and said with a disgusted face: "Greasy and crooked, being a teacher is not a rabbit." ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Cheng Chumo only knows how to smirk.

Li Yun glared at him, turned around and entered the palace gate.

At this time, those important ministers of the previous dynasty also came to the palace gate, and Cheng Chumo was still standing in place and smirking madly, Lao Cheng suddenly stepped forward and kicked his son suddenly.

Cheng Chumo found out his father at this time, and immediately shouted with joy, this goods has not been home for two years, and he opened his hands to give Lao Cheng a hug.

Lao Cheng obviously wanted to hug the child very much, but he avoided it with a stunned face and scolded: "Is the stinky boy blind? Don't salute when you see so many uncles and uncles? ”

As he spoke, he raised his foot again, ready to kick his son again.

However, at this moment, a leisurely voice came from the palace door, and said with a faint smile: "Lu Guogong, just one kick, you just kicked him, this king is considered to be exercising his father's authority, but you can only kick him once, not a second kick, otherwise this king wants to ask why?" ”

The king wants to ask why?

What a shelter for one's own disciples.

Although Cheng Chumo is Lao Cheng's son, his father has to have a saying for beating his son, if he kicks him one by one for no reason, it won't work.

Once a boy grows up, even his father and mother can't beat him at will, especially before this is the palace, and countless courtiers and nobles are watching.

Lao Cheng himself also came to his senses, and hurriedly put his feet back, the old goblin suddenly clasped his fists with both hands, arched at the palace gate, and said solemnly: "Minister Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, obey the order of King Zhao of Xifu." ”

In fact, Lao Cheng is the founder of the country, and he doesn't need to be at the mercy of a prince at all.
