Chapter 010: What is the courtesy
As soon as he heard that the old man (although he didn't look old at all) was back, Yang Qing was anxious to inquire about the officialdom of the court, and immediately changed his clothes under Xiang'er's service. After two days of driving, he didn't bother to take a shower, and his body was greasy and uncomfortable, Yang Qing thought about having to soak in the evening.
Speaking of which, although the clothes of the Tang Dynasty look very elegant and free (the Hu suit is tighter and does not count, here refers to the traditional Hanfu), but in fact, there is a more terrible place that Yang Qing is not used to - basically the robes are round-necked. It's late July (lunar calendar, all of which will be counted like this in the future), and the summer in Chang'an is still relatively hot. Now Yang Qing misses the modern V-neck T-shirt and short-sleeved shirt.
After changing his clothes and walking to the middle courtyard with Xiang'er, Yang Qing looked at Xiang'er's beautiful figure and suddenly remembered a question: I have been in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten days, although I have not seen many people, but the women in the Tang Dynasty film and television dramas in the Tang Dynasty who were often dressed in low-cut clothes in the TV in later generations were stunned and didn't notice anything, everyone covered them tightly. Like Xiang'er's current lady's dress, with a small cross-collar long-sleeved skirt, there is a white coat inside, which covers the neck, not to mention the chest, although Xiang'er's crisp breasts are at least the size of C-cup in terms of shape, or in the case of wearing a corset......
In Ezhou, when the old man has friends to visit the inn, his mother has to avoid it without exception, and it seems that the openness of the Tang Dynasty refers to culture and ideology, and there is no openness between men and women......
Seeing Yang Qing looking up and down on the side of his head, Xiang'er was embarrassed, and secretly slowed down a step or two and pulled behind Yang Qing's side. Shy, but also a little proud, fortunately I changed my clothes just now, and the son just looked at people for a long time! However, that look was a little ...... Scary......
Yang Qing understood as soon as he saw Xiang'er's actions, but his usual cheekiness in front of Xiang'er was as if it had never happened, and he took the lead towards the small hall of the middle hall without being affected.
It can be seen that Steward Ding is very attentive to the first meal of the hosts in Beijing, and he has a banquet. There are just three people, and a table full of dishes, including Lingnan-style hometown dishes, fashionable and exquisite Chang'an dishes, and steamed wontons with Hu cakes as the staple food. There is more wine, pear blossom spring. Yang Qing wanted to try it, but Mrs. Yang ruthlessly stifled this tempting idea on the grounds that he had not recovered from his injury.
However, Yang Qing's mind was not on eating and drinking, he was in a hurry to communicate with the old man about the changes in the political situation in the Tang Dynasty, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't have time to appreciate the exquisiteness of the dishes at all.
Yang Wang saw that there was something wrong with his son, thinking that Yang Qing didn't remember the appearance of the boss since he lost his memory, and he was anxious to see his eldest brother. Although the two brothers have different temperaments, they have always been friendly in their relationship, and Yang Wang has always been relieved by this. said to Yang Qing: "What's wrong with Qing'er? But thinking about your big brother? He asked someone to say that he couldn't leave today, and that the door of this workshop was closed at night and he couldn't come over, and he would come over with your sister-in-law after the end of duty tomorrow. Don't worry. ”
"That's great. Qing'er misses her brother a lot, and she can't wait to see it at this moment. …… Father, I have something to ask you. Okay? ”
"Oh? Something to ask me? Okay, come, let's go to the study and talk. ”
Steward Ding personally brewed a pot of fragrant tea, quietly closed the door and went out. Sandalwood curls, and the father and son sit opposite each other with candles.
"Father went to the Ministry of Officials today?"
"Hmm. Today's main purpose is to visit Li Youxiang, who is also in the Ministry of Consular Officials. How? Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? ”
"Qing'er has something unclear, so I came to ask my father. I heard Steward Ding say that my father was promoted to the house this time, and there was a Yang in the court who contributed a lot. Father went to the Ministry of Officials today to report, has he ever seen this Lord Yang? ”
Yang Wang pondered for a long time and slowly shook his head: "I haven't seen it." But I heard a few along the way as I went north. Our house was originally the private residence of Song Hun in the imperial history, and Song Hun was exiled to Chaoyang County after being reported and verified for greedy ink. And the person who reported it was Yang Zhao, the squire of the military department. After the Song Hun incident, the saint was furious and ordered Yang Zhao to take over the post of Zhongcheng in the imperial history. This is not surprising, but it is really incomprehensible to hear that this Yang Zhao tried his best to preside over the preparation of his father's ministry a few months ago, and now he has given me this mansion by the Holy Minister. ”
Hearing that the old man had no clue, Yang Qing was even more confused: "What is the origin of this Yang Zhao?" Isn't it amazing? ”
"It's not that powerful." Yang Wang pursed his lips disdainfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip and continued: "He came out of the army, originally a small new lieutenant, and then attached to the Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong, made an interview envoy, and entered the capital to pay tribute. Because the noble concubine Niangniang is her sister, the saint appointed her to join the army as the Jinwu soldier Cao, and she can enter and leave the forbidden center at any time. Yang Zhao was good at speculating in the camp, and within a year of entering Beijing, he was promoted to more than a dozen positions such as Wailang and Yushi. In the eighth year, Tianbao moved to the Taifu Qing and the military department, which can be described as a steady progress. ”
Climb fast! This should be Yang Guozhong, how can you call Yang Zhao?
"Why did Yang Zhao come here so much to please his father? Could it be because everyone is from Rongzhou and their surname is Yang...... By the way, does our Yang family have anything to do with the maiden family of the noble concubine? ”
Yang Wang looked at Yang Qing with appreciation and a little surprise: "You also thought of this?" That's what I have to say. However, the concubine Niangniang is from Puning County, and our Yang family is from Weilong. As far as I know, our Yang family has nothing to do with the noble concubine. So I'm even more puzzled. However, as expected, this Yang Zhao will definitely take the initiative to come to me in the near future. "Thoughtfully.
Yang Qing fell into deep thought when he heard this. The current court should still be under the control of Li Linfu, but this Yang Zhao jumped very fast, and he had an aggressive posture, he wanted to bring down Li Linfu, and it made sense to pull people around. However, his father was newly transferred to Beijing from the local government, and he did not have many deep connections in Chang'an City, so was it worth his efforts to win him over? It seems that it is because the position of this official is extremely important and sensitive, Yang Zhao has entered the military department, and I heard that Ji Wen of the household department is also complicit with him, and now he may want to do it in Li Linfu's backyard, the most important official department.
Thinking of Yang Qing's strange performance today, Yang Wang looked at his son strangely and asked another puzzle: "But Qing'er, why did you suddenly talk to me about this today?" You used to be fond of playing, and although you were still interested in military books, you weren't keen on fame. ...... is this today? ”
Being asked by Yang Wang like this, Yang Qing began to struggle in his heart.
If you want to get close and get the power you want, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty is a place that cannot be bypassed, and his father is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the assessment, evaluation, appointment and dismissal of all officials in the world. Do you want to give it a go? How do you make sense and feel seamless?
