Chapter 103: The Peak of Power
The palace of the king of the county celebrates
Clever artists make everyone laugh
Stepping onto the Lingfeng Pavilion in the South Park, Han Yanxuan raised his eyes and looked around, his thoughts flying. To be honest, even he didn't expect such a happy ending today. Since he entered the officialdom in the eighth year of the main road, he has been a subordinate official in a local state and county, although he was born as a relative of the emperor and the country, but after all, he has no direct and solid backer, and he has to rely on his own hard work every step. Although he has been repeatedly blinded by others because he has not been a scholar and the first rank, he has never wanted to let it go, and he has been diligent in his work, diligent and thrifty, and he does not dare to make the slightest mistake. Among them, he was sent by the Zhige Sect for six years, but his grade was adjusted by one level. Very early on, he was thinking that it would be good to be a supervisor at the road level in this life. It's better to be a modest, high-grade, well-paid, and not too busy. During the reign of Guangzong, the political affairs were deserted, the imperial court did almost nothing, and the upper and lower factions were in a wilting atmosphere. Therefore, I was once shaken about whether this beautiful dream could be realized.
The world is unpredictable. From the first year of Qingyuan, it suddenly became smooth, and in just five years, a prefect who was only in charge of etiquette reached the peak of the power of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the official system of this dynasty, civil and military officials and members of the royal family are divided into six grades and ten grades according to their titles, of which the king is the highest class, divided into three levels: king, heir and county. And the king, the heir of the king is generally the prince and grandson, the foreign surname of the minister has outstanding merits, after the death of the posthumous also posthumously named the king, that is also very rare, the living minister with a different surname, named the king of the county, is the highest title, since Gaozong, the minister with a different surname is the king of the county, so far there are only three people, the first two are Han Shizhong, the king of Xian'an County, and Zhang Jun, the king of Qinghe County. According to the official rank, there are 29 levels of civil officials, and the first level is the first level of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions; Military attachΓ©s are divided into regular officials, remote county officials and idle officials, and the main officials are divided into six levels, and the festival degree envoy is the highest rank, and the rank of young master and young master is added. When Zhao Ruyu, who was born in the champion, was the prime minister of Zuo, he was only a second-class doctor and a doctor of Guanglu, and he did not have a title. Not comparable to him at all.
Now he has reached the extreme of being an official and a minister, regardless of his official rank, title, or grade. Although there was no actual dispatch, it was not the Prime Minister's privy envoy or anything, it was not that he was incapable, but that he did not want others to accuse him of occupying the position as a relative. In fact, there are advantages to not having an actual position, you can manage everything, you don't care about anything, and you don't have any responsibility for what is right or wrong.
Thinking of this, Han Yanxuan couldn't help but feel a little proud.
After a while, a few people were invited to come, and while they were talking, the third lady came in with a slender waist.
After the salute, Han Yanxuan blamed her:
"Full of flowers, don't you see a guest here? What are you doing recklessly?? β
This is Mrs. Wang, one of the four county ladies of the Han Mansion, who always wears flowers on her head, loves to talk and laugh, and is very favored by Han Yanxuan, with a nickname full of flowers.
"What the prince said is that Yujing shouldn't disturb the Yaxing of several masters. Please forgive me for the eighth and ninth masters, Lord Su, and Lord Zhou. β
The eighth master and the ninth master are Han Yanxuan's two younger brothers, Xianzhou and Yangzhou, and Su Zhou is Han Yanzhou's former subordinates, and now, Su Shicheng and Zhou Yunluan, who are serving in Beijing.
Han Yangxuan is Han Yanxuan's younger brother, so he opened his mouth and replied:
"Sister-in-law, don't be polite, our brothers will gossip and chat with the prince, it's not a big deal, if you want to have any intimate words, we will avoid it."
Manhua smiled and said:
"Where there is any whispering, there is no saying here. It is the first happy event in life to pay homage to the king, and several of our sisters said that the prince wants to take us to be lively and lively, and celebrate well."
Han Yanxuan said: "This time I was named the king of the county, one is the protection of the ancestors, and the other is the emperor's grace. If there is any kind of celebration, it will be too public, and people will speak. β
Han Yangxuan interjected, "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, our brothers also talked about this just now." Seventh brother, in short, it is a great thing, and it is appropriate for the family to have fun. If someone says that we are publicized, we will publicize something, what is in the way of you, if you have the ability, you can get a king to try, even if you use the strength to eat milk, you can get a founder, even if thank God. β
"Okay, okay, the ninth master is too good at talking." The head is full of flowers and smiles.
In the spring season, the county king's mansion invites relatives, friends and colleagues to watch and play in the name of the completion of the ancient spring. As a result, South Park was once again unprecedented, with an endless flow of people.
The nobles of the kings and grandchildren, the high-ranking officials and magnates tour the mountains and rivers, enjoy the flowers and scenery, gather in groups, or chant poems and paint, or play against the qin, or fight cocks and set up bets, so they are not at ease.
The ladies of the gold wear gold and silver, ringing, listening to music and watching plays, joking and juggling, singing and dancing, which is dazzling.
In addition to having fun, you can taste fine wines and enjoy the delicacies of the mountains and seas and famous snacks.
Su Shicheng found an artist who pinched clay figurines from outside Lin'an City. It was very interesting, I saw him, holding a ball of yellow mud in his hand, pinching and pinching it around constantly, and then, using small scissors to cut a few strips of cloth, using a brush to draw a little bit on the clay figure, and soon pinched out a Guan Gong. This mud Guan Yu is nine inches long, the beard is two inches long, the face is like a heavy jujube, the lips are greased, the red phoenix eyes, the silkworm eyebrows, the appearance is dignified, majestic, as if alive.
What's even more amazing is that the clay man buckles a few ropes on the clay figure, and when he lifts it from above, he can make various movements, and with the sound, it is like a puppet show.
Han Yanxuan was pulled by the flowers and looked at it with interest. He asked the clay kneader to be made by the people on the spot. After a while, the clay figure followed Su Shicheng's appearance, pinched out one, and after dotting, he put it up for a performance, just like a real person.
Mantouhua, Tan and Chen's three ladies hoped to pinch out a plain county king, although Han Yanxuan was not very willing, he did not openly oppose it.
The clay man stared at him for a moment and shook his head:
"I can't handle that."
Manhua asked curiously:
"Why? Don't be afraid, our prince won't do anything to you! β
The clay man replied with trepidation: "Madam, it's not that I'm afraid, the prince has a noble status and is kind to the people, even if the grass people can't pinch well, they don't care." The grass people don't know how to pinch, this prince is not an ordinary person, but a god descends to earth, no matter how the grass people are, they can't look like a god. β
When Han Yanxuan heard this, he laughed, "Since the old man doesn't want to pinch it, don't force it." Just pinch the others. β
The clay man immediately thanked him, "The grass people are the best at pinching the people in the market, men, women and children." β
Han Yanxuan looked at a clay figure that the old man had just pinched out, and asked the clay figure:
"Old man, what do you call this clay figure?"
