Chapter 32: See Li Yuan
The carriage runs smoothly on the streets of Chang'an City, and Suzaku Street is located on the central axis of Chang'an City, starting from the main gate of Chang'an City, Mingde Gate, and finally ending at the main gate of the Imperial City, Suzaku Gate.
Different from the gentleness of the carriage, Li Yaojian was nervous in his heart, with a hint of excitement.
What is nervous is to face the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the emperor who stands on top of the world. I don't know if it's not easy for him to get along with the old man, he doesn't know how to speak, and he doesn't know if his head will move as soon as he is not small.
In ancient times, Mo said that ordinary people, even lower-ranking officials, could not see the emperor for the rest of their lives, so Li Yaowei was fortunate to be summoned by the emperor today, how could he not be excited?
There is another reason, Li Yuan, is the 46th ancestor of Li Yaoji. Li Yaowei was able to meet his ancestors, the epoch-making figure who founded the country and established one of the most prosperous dynasties in China. How can you not be excited?
"Shall I call the ancestors? Or is it called Your Majesty? Li Yaowei was distressed.
……
……
Under the walls of the tall imperial city, there are five gates, this is the Suzaku Gate, each gate is guarded by soldiers, and most of the pedestrians who come to play will stop and look inside the city gate, hoping that one day they can also enter.
Li Yaoyu got out of the carriage and showed the edict issued by Li Yuan, and the guards were slightly surprised before letting them go. Hike through the Vermilion Bird Gate, it is the Imperial City of Chang'an, dozens of golden and splendid, magnificent palaces are arranged on both sides of the Chengtian Gate, green tiles and blue bricks, Qionglou Yuyu, swimming dragon and flying phoenix; The generals of Wu Ben and the tiger ornament eagle, and the Wenchen of the ceremonial crown and the purple silk red Luo, came and went.
In addition to the prime minister and other close ministers of the emperor, the offices of the middle-level civil and military officials of Chang'an are all here, which is the periphery of the political power center of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yaowei did not hesitate and walked directly to Chengtianmen.
"Li Gongzi, please come with me." After the eunuch checked Li Yaoji's edict, he bowed his hand to him.
This is Tai Chi Palace! Li Yaojian looked at the big palace in front of him and thought. Guards with spears and spears were stationed everywhere like benchmarks, and there were several marches patrolling back and forth. Dozens of large and small palaces, attics, pavilions, magnificent, is the top of the Tang Dynasty's powerful families, living royal relatives, concubines, concubines, veterans and important ministers; And these palaces, like stars and moons, surround this magnificent palace in the center. This palace is the Taiji Palace, the center of power in the country, the center of dominating the world, and the national symbol of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yaowei's heart was very surging, and he came to the center of the palace in the prosperous Tang Dynasty to meet Li Yuan! What an honor it is for me to meet the emperor for the first time!
Follow the eunuch around several palaces, pass through several palace gates, and finally arrive at the Liangyi Palace. Li Yaoyu was already sweating at this time, but fortunately, I would have been the first person to enter the palace tiredly. Li Yaowei complained in his heart, but he became more and more nervous as he stood at the palace gate and waited.
"Li Gongzi, Your Majesty declares you."
Li Yaoyu took a deep breath, eased his mood, and slowly entered the door.
Li Yuan was sitting behind the bookcase, on the dragon chair, looking at the paperwork. His old age is beyond Li Yaoji's imagination, but Li Yaowei is not surprised, Li Yuan Jinyang raised an army against the Sui, fought for many years, and later ascended the throne as the emperor.
This is the ancestor of my Li family. Li Yaojian thought.
"The grass people knock to see Your Majesty."
"Get up."
"I heard that you are only eight buckets high, you are very wise, and you have seen through the private minting of copper coins, I am very curious, and I specially summoned you to come to see if you are really worthy of your name." Li Yuan's eyes were like torches, and the coercion of the Son of Heaven on his body made Li Yaojian feel a little furious in his heart.
"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are only shallow in their studies, and it is all a fluke that outsiders use false rumors to privately mint copper coins."
Be modest, be modest.
Li Yuan smiled and suddenly took the case: "Luck? How do you know that fake money can be dissolved in vinegar? Do you know that this is a crime of deception? ”
No way! Li Yaowei was angry, I am modest, do you understand! With a sincere expression, he said: "Your Majesty, this method I saw from the book by chance, and it can be regarded as a fluke. ”
Fortunately, Lao Tzu is witty!
"Haha!" Li Yuan suddenly laughed, "Calm and calm, it is rare to be wise in a hurry." ”
I just don't know what to react to, Li Yaoyu thought to himself. He understands now that film and television dramas are all filmed blindly, and many things cannot be copied.
"I have read your poems, your talent is acceptable, you have made meritorious contributions to solving cases, and I will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and I will give you 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of silk, and 100 acres of fertile land. Awarded the school book of the Bunkan. I don't know if you're satisfied? ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but seeing that evil and righteousness are human duty, I do not ask for praise; Besides, I am only a shallow learner, and I only know three or two verses, so it is difficult for me to be qualified for an official position. He also suffers from soul loss, like a newborn child, who does not know etiquette, fears of losing the face of heaven and tarnishing His Majesty's holy name; Please retract your order. ”
Li Yaowei is very sincere, he really doesn't want to be an official, and he can't stand the rules and regulations of officialdom.
Li Yuan frowned, "Everyone studies for fame, but you don't need fame and fortune." Do you think that these profits are not as good as your wealth? ”
"Don't dare. It's just that reading and writing is what I like, and fame is also floating for me. ”
"You are starting a newspaper in Chang'an, not for fame?"
"The world's scholars are as dense as a cow's hair, but they are always in front of the door, I only hope to build a courtyard for all readers, so that they can communicate and learn from each other, so that everyone can gain something, and there will be more and more talents in Datang, more and more refined."
"Good. I believe you, because of the poems and lyrics you have created, the workshop has begun to include the teachings. It's also a credit, you don't want to be an official, I don't force you, I will award you as a doctor of Chaosan, from the five grades. But there is no money. ”
He didn't need it, "What is Dr. Asasan for?" ”
Li Yuan sighed, "It's just a nominal loose official." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yaowei knelt down to thank him.
……
The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day!
This is Meng Jiao's mood, and it is also Li Yaoji's mood now.
Returning home happily, Fifth Yao and Xiaoxuan saw him so happy, and they also understood that his trip must be fine, and their hanging hearts were finally let go. Li Yaowei hugged the two daughters and kissed them a few times. "There is also good news. The emperor looked at me pleasing to the eye and gave me an official position as a doctor of the court. ”
"Really?" Fifth Yao and Xiao Xuan exclaimed, "Great! ”
Fifth Yao kissed him for the first time, and Li Yaowei felt honored. "It's just a loose official, and he has no position."
"It's okay, at least it's a big official!"
Sanguan is a title that indicates the rank of an official in ancient times, without a position; Those who hold positions are called ministers. Similar to the ranks and ranks in the modern army. Loose officials can also be selected by the ministry or appointed by the emperor to obtain positions.
Li Yaowei likes to be leisurely, and Li Yuan did what he wanted. The five-grade Chaosan doctor belongs to the thirteenth rank of civil officials, and Li Yaowei can be regarded as having reached the noble class at this time.
