Chapter 70: Go to the Upper Courts!
(Recommended reading: Xiao Yi was very busy, first he fought wits with Shizhong-Fu Wan, and then fought with the old monk of 'Yixiu', and after saying goodbye from Tianyi Temple, he personally sent the three daughters of the Cao family back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was naturally warmly welcomed by Cao Cao, Cao Ang, Cao Pi ......, father and son.
The family set up a small banquet in the back hall, and drank another meal, until the treetops on the moon, Xiao Yi returned to his Hou Mansion with four points of drunkenness, and drank Cai Wenji's 'lotus seed soup', then hugged the beauty and fell asleep.
"Wake up! Wake up! ~~ Wake up! ”
In the haze, Xiao Yi felt that there was a voice calling himself, which made him very dissatisfied with his sleepiness, the sky was big, the earth was big, and he didn't sleep big, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu came, he couldn't deprive him of the right to sleep, so Xiao Yi turned over, stretched out his big hand and grabbed a ball of softness, pinched it a few times, and finally suppressed the voice,...... Go back to sleep!
"Oops! ~~~You...... You wake me up, ~ ah! ”
With an annoyed moan, Xiao Yat felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, screamed, and finally woke up from his sleep.
"Why are you biting me?" Taking advantage of the dim light in the bedroom, Xiao Yi found Cai Wenji lying on top of him, biting his shoulder with a small cherry mouth, tearing back and forth vigorously, and then looking at the sky outside, it was pitch black, and it was just the appearance of the third watch, it was a good time to sleep?
"What, I didn't enjoy it just now, do you still want it?" In the middle of the night, he was woken up by the beautiful woman next to the pillow, what else could he do, Xiao Yi's big hand went down the beauty's back, all the way to the mellow high hill, the wonderful feeling made him refreshed, and his body was fully recovered, and he began to move.
"Xiao Lang......, don't, don't, not now~~"
Cai Wenji's body is very sensitive, and when she touches it slightly, she will tremble, but this time it is different, she gritted her teeth, desperately held down Xiao Yi's big hand, and then struggled desperately, trying to escape from the wolf's mouth.
"It's not this, so what are you biting me for?"
Xiao Yi felt that the beauty in her arms was indeed struggling, not the ** who 'wanted to welcome or refuse', this is strange, she didn't sleep at night, and she didn't love, did she want to count the stars with her?
"My Grand Governor, you can't make any more trouble, the third watch day has passed, you should go to the early court!" Cai Wenji's little face was flushed, they were all young men and women, and the friction of her body seduced her heart, but now she can only endure it.
"Going to court? …… On what court? "I don't think I've ever heard of these two words so unfamiliarly, what does it have to do with me?
"I really don't know how you became the governor of the capital, the Han family system, every five days, today is the fifth day of the expedition, it happens to be the day of the court, get up quickly and prepare, if it's late, it will make my colleagues laugh at it."
Being late to the last dynasty, although it is not a big crime, it is also a loss of honor and will be made fun of, of course, it is not Xiao Yi who is being teased, but Cai Wenji.
Chinese are like this, men's mistakes are often borne by women, 'the king is not early in the dynasty', there must be concubines in the harem, the minister does not go to the dynasty, there is naturally a 'fox spirit' in the family dragged on the bed, it just so happens that Cai Wenji is a famous beauty in Xuchang City, just afraid of bearing the bad reputation of 'inseparable from men', she urged Xiao Yi to get up so hard.
"I, the Metropolitan Governor, was killed with an iron-hoofed scimitar, and I was not elected at the court meeting!" Patting his forehead depressedly, Xiao Yi realized that being an official is hard, it is necessary to go to the early court, I knew that this was the case, yesterday it was better to agree to the master of 'Yixiu', stay in the temple as a monk, and see what kind of comfortable life people live, worry-free, worry-free, no worries, three full, one sleep, one pillar of incense every day, and live together!
The ironclad general crosses the pass at night,
Courtiers wait to leak five colder,
The sun is three poles and the monk can't afford it,
It's better to be rich than to be idle!
Touched for a while, Xiao Dadudu made another 'Wen Copying Gong', and put this 'Pipa Record' of the Yuan Dynasty poet Gao Ming on himself, and the fit was just right.
"The amount of elegance of the metropolitan governor is extraordinary, it really makes the concubine physically and mentally moved!" Cai Wenji's eyes are about to drip water, for a talented woman, poetry is extremely lethal, let alone her own lover?
The two teased on the bed for a while, Xiao Yi was a carp and jumped up, no way, the charm of the beauty is too great, if you don't get up, I'm afraid it will really be thunderous.
The life of the aristocracy is **, even the clothes don't have to be worn by themselves, with a greeting, immediately four maids ran in, respectively carrying copper basins, hot water, silk scarves, green salt, washing for Xiao Yi, there is no toothbrush, toothpaste, after washing the face, it is very luxurious to rinse your mouth with a glass of green salt water, this is still the top nobles to enjoy, ordinary people are even reluctant to eat coarse salt, let alone rinse.
Cai Wenji took out a new set of red court clothes from the wooden box, and carefully changed it to Xiao Yi, the Han system - 'Xuanwen Chiwu', all the generals' costumes are red, with a jade belt around their waists, and the gold seal of the 'Governor of the Western Expedition' was hung, revealing a purple ribbon, and then nodded with a smile, the more he looked, the more satisfied he was - young heroes, nothing more than this!
Han officials in the last dynasty, the big seal must be worn with them, and the official rank is different, the material of the big seal and the color of the ribbon are also different, a total of four grades: the three princes and the like are gold seal purple ribbons, Jiuqing and two thousand stone officials are silver seal green ribbons, two dry stones below the copper seal black ribbon, four hundred stones and below the copper seal yellow ribbon.
It stands to reason that Xiao Yi's official position is the same level as Jiuqing, and he should use a silver seal and a green ribbon, but he has unparalleled military achievements and is respected as 'the first warrior in the army', so Prime Minister Cao Cao specially ordered him to 'cast a gold seal with a purple ribbon' to show his honor and favor.
In the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, hundreds of pro-soldiers had already finished marching, one by one, fully armed, holding lanterns and torches, Dian Wei and Xiaobin stood at the front with blades in hand, knowing that they were escorting the metropolitan governor to the court, and those who didn't know thought they were going to start a battle!
'Cabbage' also deliberately dressed up today, carved saddle, golden pedals, purple bridles, and a 'mighty bell' hanging around his neck, looking extremely handsome, seeing Xiao Yi come out, it also stepped forward and arched a few times with its big head, and didn't sleep lazy, it also had a little temper, and it scratched its neck and served fine wine, which made 'Uncle Cabbage' satisfied.
"Go, go to court!" Jumping on the horse, Xiao Yi greeted and rushed out of the waiting house with a swarm of guards, while Cai Wenji took a large group of maids to bow down and send them off.
"Wushou's Mansion" is the first place on Baihu Street, very close to the palace, "Cabbage" trotted for half a column of incense, and even a drop of sweat came out of it, and it arrived at the palace gate, but this does not prevent it from inviting merit and benefits, no matter how far or near, after all, it is out to run.
Xiao Yi lived close, but came very late, the carriages and horses of the civil and military officials had already gathered here, some of the generals who were also the first time to go to the court, they were even more excited and didn't sleep all night, and they didn't sleep for a night, and they ran over to wait, all with black circles under their eyes, and they were asking the seniors about the etiquette of the court, for fear that something would make a mistake and make people laugh, seeing Xiao Yi coming, they all stepped forward to salute, some hugged their fists, some bowed, and some directly marched and saluted, and it became a mess.
"Okay, what's the waste, thousands of horses and thousands of troops have rushed out, and the last dynasty was nervous like this!" Xiao Yi reprimanded the generals, 'Han official prestige' can't be seen on them at all, good official uniforms are worn crookedly, all of them are worn as armor on the body, or the most neat thing that the big cow wears, at first glance, it is his wife to clean up, worthy of the origin of selling tofu, smooth and smooth, Zhang Liao's is much worse, it is said that his ancestors are basket weaving~~
"I'll wait to see the Prime Minister, Wan Fu Jin'an!"
Cao Cao's car was the last to come, he lived very close, and he didn't snooze, but as a big man, he had to be the last to appear, which could show that his dignity was not, I really don't know who set this rule.
"Your Excellency, well!"
"Xiao Lang is also here, very good!"
Cao Cao smiled, while greeting the officials, he naturally walked to the front of the team, the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, the upper auxiliary Son of Heaven, the lower rule of the people, the reconciliation of yin and yang, extremely noble, not to mention that the current Han court is the 'virtual monarch reality', the military and political power is in the control of Cao Cao alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the 'uncrowned king', who dares to compare with him!
The hundreds of officials are also lined up according to their grades, Wendong and Wuxi, Jingwei are distinct, because many people are going to the court for the first time, so Cao Cao specially arranged a ceremonial officer, who is responsible for helping those generals to sort out their official appearance, and by the way, a few guys who don't know where they are standing are stuffed into the team!
Xiao Yi's position is not bad, ranking among the more than a dozen generals, in front of him are some white-bearded grandfathers, and any one of them is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, with his age, standing here is already very conspicuous, so Cao Cao wants to suppress Xiao Yi's official position, Mu Xiu is in the forest, it is not a good thing!
"General Zuo, Xuande Gong!" Standing in a good position, Xiao Yi immediately found a surprise, it was Liu Bei who was lined up in front of him, and the other party was General Zuo and a member of the Han family, so he was naturally in the front!
"Oh, it's Governor Xiao!" Liu Bei had a wry smile on his face, according to his original intention, it was best to stand in the back and find a corner where no one paid attention to it to be the safest, but I don't know how to arrange it, I put him in such an obvious position, although he was favored, but it was also popular; What's even more hateful is behind him, when he thinks of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' staring at him from behind, Liu Bei is like a mang on his back, nervous!
"Boom! Boom! …… Whining! ”
Just when everyone was thinking about it, the fifth watch day arrived, and with a burst of bells and drums, the early dynasty began!
