Sometimes, Yang Fan really admires how these Beijing officials have the courage to survive. In the middle of the night, I have to get up and put on my court clothes, rain or shine, and the four seasons should not be. Yang Fan closed his eyes, and put the python robe on his body in a daze, which others didn't dare to hope for, the size was a little unsatisfactory. Ancient clothes don't pay attention to slim or slim, this waist can be stuffed into a person again. Yang Fan used the jade belt he sent to buckle, and he was finished. This cuff is still very fat, it is estimated that those people in the Ouchi imperial system are lazy, and the unified system directly adopted, regardless of whether you are fat or thin.

When they got downstairs, the official in charge of the diet had already sent someone to prepare a snack. Generally, the morning court starts early on the fifth watch, but the minister must wait at the noon gate on the fourth watch, so the time is relatively long. There was a large stack of rich dim sum on the table, and Yang Fan picked some hot ones and asked while eating, "Did the Holy Lord ever tell me when to enter the palace?" ”

The lower-level official who received him had already been frightened by Yang Fan's outfit. Originally, when he learned that it was Yang Fan, the six-grade officials trembled a little, but now, when they saw this python robe and the marquis, they even trembled their hands.

"What about you?"

"Huh? Oh. Manage...... The father-in-law of the celebrant will pass on the holy message, so that you can enter the temple with the courtiers. This...... Here's the location. ”

In the early dynasties, there were also a lot of rules. Taizu set the rules, during the Hongwu period, not all high-ranking officials went to the court, but officials in Beijing could go to the court, breaking the drawbacks that audio-visual can only pass on from high-ranking officials. But later, I thought that there were more than 100 numbers, and sometimes even more. Even outside the hall, there was a large crowd of people around, which was a little annoying. I don't have that much time to report to you about this, to report that. This system was simply abolished.

Therefore, in general, the court, that is, the cabinet scholars, the six Shangshu, the squire, the imperial history of the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple, and the six departments add up to thirty or forty people. So the question arises again, how do these dozens of people stand? Generally speaking, it is to stand symmetrically and the Venerable One is in front. The leaders on the left and right are generally the scholars of the East Pavilion and the scholars of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the six Shangshu and the squire are behind, and then the Inspectorate and Dali Temple. In the end, the most spit stood by the door, lest it be too excited, and the spit flew to the emperor's face.

The Ming Dynasty respects the left, so the position of the left is generally the first assistant of the cabinet. And this time, the position that Zhu Youzhen arranged for him turned out to be the position on the left, didn't this make him and Zhou Yanru raise the bar.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, you ...... Have you eaten well? Don't go again. But it's going to be three watches. ”

"Well, let's go." Yang Fan swallowed the last crab bun.

……

……

As soon as Yang Fan came out of Honglu Temple, he saw two carriages waiting outside the gate of the mansion.

"Come and sit down, I'll give you a ride." The voice is somewhat familiar. On the side, the official may not be able to see who it is, but Yang Fan can see it very clearly, the old man looking from the window. Then he ordered: "I will be Sun Lao's carriage over, you don't have to follow." ”

"This ......" makes sense. Yang Fan's current identity is still a Mongolian envoy, and the safety of this transfer is the responsibility of Honglu Temple. But what people are wearing, this official is not blind, but a purple and gold python robe, a python robe, is that what ordinary people can wear? So he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only watch Yang Fan get into Sun Chengzong's carriage, and then drive towards Donggongshengmen.

"Long time no see."

"Don't come unharmed, Old Sun." Yang Fan returned the salute, there was no light in the car, and he could only look vaguely, but Yang Fan could see it very clearly, that pale face.

"I didn't expect that."

"What didn't you expect?" Yang Fan asked rhetorically.

"I didn't expect you to have such a great ability to become an envoy to Mongolia." The carriage went on and on, but slowly, as if to give the two enough time to talk.

"Is Sun always happy for me, or is he angry?"

The night was dark, giving Sun Chengzong a chance not to see Yang Fan's face. After half a ring, Sun Chengzong said, "It's both." I know that you are just delivering a message for this Lin Dan, but what the people in the court will say depends on your wisdom. I'm old and don't have that energy, and if I take care of so many things, it's time for your juniors to take the lead. In terms of qualifications, Zu Dashou, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are the most suitable for the post of governor of Jiliao, but Hong and Lu are mostly skilled in fighting with thieves, and they have no experience in fighting with Houjin. Zu Dashou, as you know, can be a general, but he does not have the qualifications of a handsome talent, and he is not Fan Wencheng's opponent. ”

"So what?"

"So the old man elected you."

"Me?" Yang Fan was a little surprised, he originally thought that the marquis was the greatest reward for himself, but he didn't expect that there would be a governor of Jiliao, which was a bit incredible. The generals of the Ming Dynasty have no status at all. Civilian generals are somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty. And Yang Fan was not born in the imperial examination, not even a military attaché. At the beginning, there were still objections to Feng Bo, but this time he was made a marquis, and he was added to the governor of Jiliao, which ...... Inevitably, it will be a little difficult to convince the public.

"The Holy God gave you this position, that is, I fully believe in you, and it depends on you whether you can bear it or not." Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand, patted Yang Fan's shoulder, and said, "Your vision is far higher than theirs. Huguang's defense line, I remember correctly, it was built five or six months ago, and it is as accurate as the Daling River, and sometimes, the old man doubts whether you really have the ability to predict the future. ”

"The Central Plains is difficult to mix, and the uprising needs food, if it were me, I would also go to Huguang." Yang Fan said, "This Governor of Jiliao, Yang Fan is really not qualified enough, and it is difficult to be ordered." ”

"You also said that although he listened to the saint at the beginning, although he can't be crowned a marquis, this Jiliao governor is also unbearable? The marquis is indeed a compliment, but he does not have the slightest real power. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many marquises who have been divided, and now there are many people who want to eat and starve to death, and they have no rights. You wanted to do this at the beginning, but now you have to taste the bitter fruits. ”

"Isn't it okay if I don't deserve it?" Yang Fan said with a smile. It's been a long time to come to Chengtianmen today, and the two are chatting. "The riots in the Central Plains, at the festival in the near future, will announce to the world, promote the new crop, and when the time comes, win the hearts of the people, and reduce taxes to appease the people. You also know how much military pay is spent on the Jinning defense line every year, and I also know this, but there is no way, you can't give up the land to others. ”

The carriage stopped at the left gate of Chang'an, "Go, don't go, the early dynasty will begin." ”

"Aren't you going?"

"What am I going to do?" Sun Chengzong said, "If you come, I'm relieved, it's time to go back." ”

"What kind of Hou am I sealing?"

The carriage turned around, and Sun Chengzong's voice came from the carriage.

"Ning Guohou." (To be continued......)
