Chapter 444: Outside the Palace

Time is in a hurry, a month is coming in a flash, and Duan Jian can finally walk out of the house blatantly.

The reason why it is blatant is that in the previous month, Duan Jian had secretly gone out countless times, but every time he was able to go out the back door to avoid people's eyes.

Of course, saying that, as for whether it really avoided the ears and eyes, no one knows, at least in this month, Duan Jian was invited by Liu Mian, Xue Ling and a group of friends to get drunk, but he was drunk in several green buildings in Luoyang City, and he didn't return all night, saying that no one knew, I'm afraid he really took everyone as a fool.

If it was before, Duan Jian dared to be so presumptuous and did not obey the Empress Dowager's decree as a fart, I am afraid that there would have been ministers impeached in the court, but this time, everyone seemed to be blind, turning a blind eye, not to mention impeachment, not even a single one who said strange things.

The reason why this is the case, in the final analysis, is still related to Lai Junchen, originally Yu Shitai was in charge of impeachment and inspection, but since Lai Junchen is in charge of today's Yu Shitai, the functions of Yu Shitai have completely changed, and it has become a department of spying, torture and arrest, as for the main responsibility, impeachment lawlessness has long been left behind.

But now, after being slapped by Duan Jian at the gate of the city, Lai Junchen completely recognized the reality, that is, in Wu Zetian's mind, he was still not as favored as Duan Jian, in this case, it was too late to find a way to consolidate his position, how could he have the heart to find trouble with Duan Jian.

For a while, Duan Jian was so invisible in the entire Luoyang City.

"Aha...... Hey, you said that this official is really not a person, he is tired and half dead every day, and he has to rush to the morning court in the morning, why are there so many fools in the world who want to be an official, it is really that day I was in a hurry, and I resigned and returned home, and I got up again every day on the three poles of the waterway. ”

Looking up at the sky, his eyes widened, and after a big yawn, Duan Jian said with a complaint in his heart.

If others listen to Duan Jian's words, I'm afraid that he will have the heart to kill, if other officials are tired, everyone will believe it, after all, those officials have countless national affairs every day to be busy, even if there are no national affairs, they have to be busy for their own personal benefits, he is good, in the past month, he has been completely reduced to a life like a pig, eating, sleeping, eating, even bothering to turn over, and still complaining like this, how can he not be hated.

"Hehe, Ah Lang don't complain, you still think this is in Jiangnan, every day Mr. Liwen helps you deal with affairs, you just need to make a decision, this is in the Shendu, even the prime minister has to go to the morning court every day, not to mention that you are a six-grade petty official, you don't want to go to the early court, unless you are released." While dressing him, Su Xiuer said with a smile.

Looking at the dark green official uniform on his body, Duan Jian's already bad mood became even more evil, if it weren't for the fact that the official hat on his head was not green, he probably really had plans to resign and not do it.

Complaining is complaining, even if Duan Jian doesn't want to go out anymore, seeing that the time for the court is about to come, he can only ride to the palace on horseback.

I have to say that in all dynasties, the dynasty with the best official welfare is the Great Song Dynasty, after all, although the Great Song Dynasty has mediocre force, but the economy is strong, some are silver, and in addition to the literati are too lenient, everyone who is an official is a small rich man, and the most relaxed control of officials is the Tang Dynasty, according to the statistics of later generations, the Tang Dynasty is only a regular holiday There are more than 100 days a year, all of which have caught up with the civil servants of later generations, and even many times, if the emperor wants to be lazy, he will also work out a few holidays, the famous Mid-Autumn Festival in later generations, Shangyuan, all of them have been reduced to regular festivals since the Tang Dynasty, and if this kind of treatment is placed in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, I am afraid that it will be envied, jealous and hated by the Ming officials.

As the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang City is the most qualified city in the whole world to compete with Chang'an City, although Luoyang City is limited by the influence of topography, not as magnificent as Chang'an City, but after decades of construction since the founding of the country, and Wu Zetian's vigorous regulation during this time, a gorgeous atmosphere, the magnificent Luoyang City has appeared in front of people's eyes.

As a symbol of imperial power, the palace is also extremely magnificent.

Outside the palace gate, it has long been a lively scene, after all, the entire Tang Dynasty Xiang Duan Jian, a lazy person who doesn't even want to go to the early dynasty, I'm afraid it's really rare, and it's more that the officials still attach great importance to the early dynasty.

"Ah, Brother Duan, it's been a long time, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are becoming more and more heroic."

As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, Duan Jian heard a sound of greeting from the side, turned his head to look, Duan Jian smiled, he didn't stay in Chang'an City for a long time, and there were not many people in the officialdom, after all, although he was famous, but his official position was too low, and he didn't deserve too much attention from him.

Among these people, only Xiao Yi was an accident, as Duan Jian's former boss, the two had the deepest friendship because of their work together.

"Xiaguan visits Xiao Mingfu, ah..... No, I should call you Young Eunuch Xiao now. Seeing Xiao Yi, Duan Jian also smiled and greeted him, but he was not so sharp when he spoke, after all, whoever was talking with a big bun in his mouth would probably not be able to make a profit.

Seeing Duan Jian nibbling on the bun and saluting to himself, Xiao Yi not only was not angry, but said with a smile on his face, "Okay, you and I are old acquaintances, what is the Ming Mansion, the young eunuch, if you can, you can call the old brother, and so-and-so will be quite satisfied." ”

Two years have passed, and Xiao Yi has also been promoted from the Chang'an County Order of the fifth rank to the position of the young eunuch of the Shaofu under the fourth grade.

You must know that this young eunuch of the Shaofu is the top fat shortage of the imperial court, the government of the total hundred skills, the leader of the middle shang, the left shang, the right shang, the weaving and dyeing, the five departments of palm smelting, and the smelting superintendent, the zhu coinage superintendent, and the mutual market superintendent.

It can be said that all the things made by Datang are under his management, don't look at the official position, but the status is noble, even the prime minister, the prince of the country has to say hello when he sees it, after all, both the prime minister and the prince of the country also need all kinds of objects.

After chatting, the strangeness that the two had not seen for many years was gone, replaced by a more familiar relationship, and even when they talked about the rise, the high-pitched laughter of the two attracted the attention of the people around them.

"When I was in Chang'an County, I felt that my brother was not an ordinary person, and sooner or later I would have to soar, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, in just two years, my brother went from a white body to sit on the position of these six products, I am afraid that in the future, my brother will need to take care of my brother!"

"What is the eldest brother saying, the younger brother is just lucky, just caught up with a good time, if the eldest brother is here, I'm afraid it will be much better than the younger brother, the younger brother is young and doesn't know how to measure, and the eldest brother will need a lot of support in the court in the future!"

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't dare to say anything else, this period in the court, a certain still knows a little bit or two, if the elder brother doesn't understand anything, just ask, a certain knows everything.

Hmmm........."

When the two were talking happily, they suddenly felt that something was wrong around them, and when they turned around, they didn't know why, and the officials around them who were originally talking in groups of three or five in a low voice suddenly stopped one by one, and there was not even a single fart.

After looking around, the two of them understood the reason.

Not far away, a horse was walking slowly, and there was a figure sitting upright on the horse, it was none other than Lai Junchen, who had been slapped by Duan Jian at the city gate.

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Great Imperial Meeting, the rest of the early Dynasty officials below the five-rank official rank do not need to come, Duan Jian is of course an exception, originally he should have participated in the Imperial Conference on the second day after coming to Luoyang City, but it was the New Year's Day, and later he was grounded for a month by Wu Zetian's holy decree, until today, when the locking period arrived, he rushed to the Imperial Meeting, and it was impossible for Junchen to participate in the Imperial Meeting, but he couldn't stand that he was Wu Zetian's confidant, and under the special approval, He was also honored to join the ranks of the daily court.

'The shadow of a man, the name of a tree. ’

If Duan Jian was famous in Chang'an City before, then the current Lai Junchen is famous in Luoyang City, this reputation is not blown out, but smashed out with the heads of countless high-ranking officials and magnates, at first there were still people who were not convinced, but later most of these unconvinced people became tools to increase his reputation, so far, no one dares to underestimate him, until now, he has become a real ruthless person in Luoyang City who can cure children crying.

Riding on a horse, looking down at the group of high-ranking officials in front of him, the eyes caused the people who were being watched either hurriedly dodging or showing flattering expressions.

In this regard, Lai Junchen is extremely satisfied, who would have thought that he is a little prankster, who is spurned all day long, and a kid who lives by abduction and abduction, actually has such a day when he makes hundreds of officials bow down.

If it was the old days, Lai Junchen would enjoy this feeling until the time came to enter the court, but today, his good mood was completely ruined.

He saw a person, a man in many awe, flattering expressions, the only look of disdain, if it was the past, he would definitely stare at the triangular eyes viciously, and keep in mind the officials who sent out this kind of look, in the future, find a way to destroy his whole family, so that he no longer dares to show this kind of look, but now, this kind of thought he also thinks about it in his heart, because this person is not someone else, but the arrogant boy who gave the same slap when he saw him for the first time, but did not have a, Duan Jian.

Come over with high spirits, go to hide silently like a rat crossing the street, such a huge contrast, not to mention that Junchen is not used to it, even the courtiers are a little unaccustomed.

This is probably a typical slave mentality, after being squeezed for a long time, you will become accustomed to naturally enjoying the life of being squeezed.

"Hey, as the saying goes, the wicked still need the wicked to grind, this Luoyang City, one counts as one, I'm afraid only you can let this person hide."

Xiao Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, hey, my brother's words are unfair, how can the little brother be a wicked person, the little brother is a good person, this is called righteousness, those evil demons naturally dare not violate, you can't deliberately destroy the reputation of the little brother!" Duan Jian exaggerated his defense, and his arrogant tone made many ministers and Lai Junchen next to him roll their eyes for a while, and secretly cursed 'shameless' in their hearts at the same time.

"Shop around ........"

The so-called evening drum and morning bell, with the three bells ringing, announced the beginning of a new day, and many courtiers also tidied up their clothes and prepared to enter the court according to the level of the team.

At this time, another interesting thing happened, when the dynasty was in power, all officials were in the ranks of the clan, even if you won the trust of the emperor or the queen mother, and the official position was not enough, it was impossible to go to the front of others.

And this time it was not a big court meeting, it was just an ordinary small court meeting, and the people who came to participate were all officials of the fourth rank or above, and when Junchen came to Junchen, a seventh-grade official, of course, he could only stand at the back of the line.

In the past, this is in the past, but today is different, there is one more Duan Jian, it stands to reason that although Duan Jian does not have a specific position now, the grade is still six, according to the rules, the whole should stand in front of Lai Junchen, for a while, the two rivals have met.

"Come on, come on, let's get back, give a place to so-and-so."

It's not the first time Duan Jian has been to the court, and he still understands the rules of the court, so he waited until everyone stood in line before he walked to the back of the line, came to Junchen's side, and shouted at Lai Junchen.

Looking at Duan Jian, Lai Junchen couldn't wait to cut him with a thousand knives, do you say that there is such a bully, I admit that I am not as good as you, but I have already avoided it, you still don't give up, you really think I am a vegetarian.

Of course, Lai Junchen is not a vegetarian, on the contrary, he still eats meat, and he still eats bloody meat, but in front of Duan Jian, he can only change to a vegetarian diet.

He took two quick steps back, twisting his face to the side, out of sight.

Looking at Lai Junchen, who was angry with his own face, Duan Jian was extremely happy in his heart, thinking about his previous life, such a villain actually brought himself two green hats one after another, allowing himself to be a bag, and the reputation of incompetence has been passed down for thousands of years, and now he has the opportunity to change all this, and it is not good to find a chance to retaliate back, then I am so sorry for the opportunity God gave him.

Stand in line, follow the officials in front, take standard square steps, and slowly walk towards the Qianyuan Palace, while Lai Junchen, who followed behind Duan Jian, looked at Duan Jian who was twisting his big buttocks, and forcibly resisted the idea of kicking up, and moved forward with difficulty.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
