Chapter 396: It can't be more low-key
In the palace of the Han Empire, the West Mansion, as Emperor Liu Hong's favorite place on weekdays, is naturally heavily guarded.
Lang is a regular way to enter the office, the rank of official promotion, although so, it does not mean that Lang can immediately become a court official or a local official. In the Han Dynasty, after most Lang officials entered Beijing, they would be ordered to enter the palace to guard the palace for the emperor like ordinary soldiers.
Of course, most of the Lang officials definitely did not have this opportunity, they may be on duty in the palace without the emperor saying a word, and finally, when the time comes, they will receive an edict from the imperial court, change their official positions, and start their official careers. There are only a few lucky people who can get the emperor's appreciation in advance among the imperial elites who enter Beijing every year, and there is no doubt that Jia Xu at this moment is this kind of lucky person, and he can have this luck, which is naturally inseparable from Fuquan who recommended him.
At this moment, Jia Xu was wearing a crown of Jinxian, wearing armor, wearing a battle robe, holding a soldier, standing in a corner of the West Mansion as usual. The front of the Jinxian crown is seven inches high, the back is three inches high, and the length is eight inches, the Han system, the prince wears three Liang Jinxian crowns, and those who rank below 2,000 stones to the doctorate all wear two Liang Jinxian crowns, and from the doctor below to the private disciples of Xiaoshi, they all wear a Liang Jinxian crown. Because Xiao Lianlang is not an official with a high rank in the Han Dynasty after all, Jia Xu only wears one liang at the moment, and I believe that when he is transferred and reassigned, he will definitely be able to add another one.
Thinking that today is the day when his friend Fuquan returns victoriously, there is a dark smile on his face, it seems that he can have a good chat with the emperor today, should he take this opportunity to seek more favor for himself?
In fact, Jia Xu has also been in the palace for Lang for many days, and with his temper, he has long understood what Lang officials should do and what loopholes there are in the palace system, and he has naturally learned a lot of experience. For example, the duty of "Lang" is to guard the forbidden middle, but the position is divided into important positions, if you are willing to spend some money, you can get a good job; For example, if you want to be lazy, you don't have to abide by the five-day holiday system, just spend money to take care of Shangguan, and then just find a reason to say that you can get by, and you can go out at will, which is quite self-contained...... As long as you can afford to spend it, it's much easier.
After learning about the filthy affairs of the palace guards, Jia Xu, who was "wise and self-protecting", naturally did not let himself be wronged, and directly found Shangguan and asked for the best location in the West Mansion to be on duty, so that he didn't have to bask in the sun in summer and stay in a windy place for a long time in winter.
Of course, Jia Xu got into a good place, but he didn't spend a penny, in his opinion, if he spent money to sit, he would be too sorry for his Jia Wenhe's brain. After he entered the palace, he was named by Emperor Liu Hong, which had already surprised the palace what his background was, and then Liu Hong called him several times in a row, and after Jia Xu understood the filth of the palace guard, he did not hesitate at all, and went directly to the Shangguan to ask for a good errand.
And that Shangguan also didn't understand how big Jia Xu's background was for a while, although everyone knew that Jia Xu was recommended by Fuquan, but the emperor actually recruited him after he entered the palace for Lang, which made everyone incomprehensible, and they all suspected that this was Liu Hong instructing Fuquan to use the filial piety quota of Bajun to promote Jia Xu as Lang.
Therefore, with all kinds of speculations, in line with the idea of not being afraid of 10,000, but afraid of what happens, Shangguan was afraid that Jia Xu would really have Liu Hong's signal behind him, so he hurriedly gave Jia Xu the best errand without a single child, and even others who came to ask for errands, after knowing that Shangguan gave Jia Xu, they didn't dare to say a few words, and even went to Jia Xu for trouble.
After that, invisibly, in the entire palace, because Jia Xu was valued by Emperor Liu Hong, and under the influence of his superiors who gave him the best errand under pressure, they all respected Jia Xu a little, and this was exactly the effect Jia Xu wanted, he didn't want to waste his excess energy in this palace where there was struggle all the time.
The sound of footsteps in the distance gradually, Jia Xu subconsciously looked over, but saw Zhang Rang, the waiter in the middle of the room, walking slowly, after a moment of thought, then the corners of his mouth smiled, straightened his posture, looked straight ahead, and put on a focused appearance that didn't seem to be attracted by the sound of the outside world at all.
"Officer Jia Lang, Your Majesty has summoned you, and you will come with Gu quickly." Zhang Rang glanced at this serious, selfless, and impartial Jia Xu, and after saying something, he immediately turned back. Originally, he wanted to knock on Jia Xu in advance and find some reason to remind him whose territory this palace was, but when he saw Jia Xu's appearance, he didn't have any idea.
"No!"
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, Jia Xu replied coldly, and without saying more, he did not immediately follow Zhang Rang, but waited for Zhang Rang to walk away, and then walked towards the direction where the emperor was. Thinking that this eunuch can also be called "lonely", Jia Xu has a thought of the injustice of this world in his heart, although he often admonishes himself to be calm in doing things on weekdays, not to be jealous and greedy, but thinking that this eunuch can also be crowned a marquis, he can't say that he is angry in his heart, because he also wants to be a marquis in his heart.
In this era, it is an idea that everyone will have, and no one will really be indifferent to fame and fortune, unless they have experienced countless struggles and understand that they have no chance and will never be able to fight, they will be willing to be a hermit. Obviously, Jia Xu is not this kind of person, he used to be dark and calm in front of outsiders, and he had ambitions that only he knew in his resourceful body.
Fortunately, he now has a great opportunity to realize this wish, but if he wants to realize it, he has to plan and fool around, and everything is how to talk about the emperor next.
Thinking of the emperor Liu Hong, who often beckoned him to talk about border affairs, thinking of the strategy he proposed for the Northern Expedition he set three years ago, thinking of Fuquan leading foreign troops into Beijing, thinking of the emperor's various arrangements in recent days, and the momentum of the main battle between the government and the opposition, Jia Xu knew that this was his chance, and he had to be high-profile, so he couldn't keep a low profile like before, otherwise he would have no chance.
