The New Year is over, and everyone is still immersed in joy. Although the restaurant has opened, there are not many customers, and Qinghe and Liqiu will only go to the restaurant every day near noon. Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and there are only six days left before the big wedding. All the necessary items in the house have been prepared, just waiting for the wedding day to come.

Wanyue has been instructed to go down, and there is no major event not to disturb the rest of the voyage. Therefore, Yuanhang will sleep until three o'clock in the morning every day before getting up.

"Young master, young master." Tang Ling didn't care about knocking on the door and pushed the door in directly, shouting loudly, he was too anxious and was knocked to the ground by the threshold, and he didn't care about the dust on his body, so he got up and ran to the inner room.

Zhengxiang, who was sleeping in Yuanhang, was suddenly woken up by Tang Ling's shouting, and asked in a daze while lying on the bed: "What's the matter, I haven't woken up yet." ”

"Young master, hurry up, there are many people outside the house, saying that the holy decree has arrived. The master sent me to call you, everyone is already outside the door, young master, go quickly. Tang Ling said in a hurry without stopping.

"What? Divine decree? Yuanhang sat up suddenly, was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does the holy decree say?" ”

"How do you know that the little one knows, the master is waiting for you to receive the order, quickly! Fast! Tang Ling stomped his foot and hurriedly urged.

Yuanhang jumped out of bed and hurried to find his clothes.

"Where's my clothes? Tang Ling. "The voyage rummaged around but couldn't find it.

"Don't look for it, it's too late." Tang Ling kept stomping his feet anxiously.

The voyage ran outside, the cold wind blew, I couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly ran back to the house, grabbed the quilt and ran out.

When I ran to the main entrance, I saw an official in a blue shirt standing in front of him with a roll of yellow cloth in his hand. Behind him stood an old acquaintance, the envoy of the envoy. Behind them, Yan Song, the Lord of Zhizhou, and Du Zhiyuan, the garrison of Jingzhou, were all standing behind. On both sides of the courtyard stood many officers and soldiers. Tang Yuanwai took a few ladies to kneel in the front, and Wanyue, Qinghe and all the subordinates knelt in the back. Yuanhang ran to the front and knelt down under the quilt, wrapped the quilt hard, and said, "Xiaomin Ye Yuanhang, come to receive the order." ”

When the official with the decree in his hand saw Yuanhang coming to receive the decree wearing a quilt, he didn't know whether to announce it or not. The envoy of Zhan also frowned when he saw it, and said to the man: "Gonggong Ye, read the holy decree." ”

Yuanhang heard it below, it turned out to be a eunuch, and he actually had the same surname as me, which was really unlucky.

Ye Gonggong cleared his throat, opened the holy decree and said: "Decree: Ye Yuanhang, a student from Jingzhou, is knowledgeable and talented. Today, he won the first place in the national trial. When the special announcement Ye Yuantu received the order, he immediately set off to see the driver without delay. The sixth day of the first month of the second year of the Indian language. ”

"The little people take the order." After the voyage thanksgiving, he stood up and took the holy decree, hurriedly stuffed it into the quilt, grabbed the corner of the quilt with his hand, and said: "My lord has worked hard all the way, please come into the house and rest." ”

"No, the Holy Decree is clear, and we will leave immediately." Father-in-law Ye said in a thin voice: "Our family is waiting in the Zhizhou Mansion, and after an hour, we will set off to return to the Houtang Mansion." After speaking, he rolled his eyes at Yuanhang, turned around and left first.

Yan Song and Du Zhiyuan hugged their fists at Yuanhang and said, "Congratulations to Ye Gongzi for the title of the gold list." ”

The voyage was polite to them, and the two adults also left the house.

The envoy stepped forward and said, "Ye Gongzi, it's really you, I haven't heard of anyone wearing a quilt to receive orders." ”

"Hehe, the exhibition envoy smiled, please come into the house." After Yuanhang finished speaking, he dodged and made a gesture of please.

The exhibition envoy sat at the top of the living room, Yuan Hang sat on the side, and Tang Yuanwai and others could only stand aside.

"Ye Gongzi is really talented! The emperor appreciates your sentence that if you make Jingzhou Ye Gong here, you will not teach the thieves to pass Liangguan. "The exhibition envoy fisted the voyage.

"Your Excellency has won the prize." sailed back, and said in his heart: I really can't remember the original poem.

"Seeing the driver this time, the son should be crowned an official and show his ancestor." The exhibition envoy smiled lightly.

"Lord Zhan, I don't know if I can postpone it for a few days to see the driver. Xiaomin is scheduled to get married at eighteen. Before the voyage was finished, Zhan Hu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ye Gongzi can't talk nonsense, the holy decree is child's play." Hurry up and get ready, we'll be on our way in an hour. Don't delay. ”

Yuanhang saw that Zhan Hu was resolute, and knew that he had no intention of saying anything more, so he sent Zhan Hu to the Zhizhou Mansion to wait for him.

Qinghe had already brought clothes for the voyage to put on, looked at him deeply, and turned around to prepare the clothes for the voyage.

"Master, time is tight, don't say much. Wait until I see the emperor return and get married. Yuanhang turned around, glanced at Wanyu, and said to Tang Yuanwai.

"Well, it's really a pleasure for you to get the first place in the exam, go to see the driver first, and the big wedding is not in a hurry." Tang Yuanwai's smile has not stopped since the holy decree arrived.

Wanyue had already cried, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy about the voyage or crying for parting with the voyage.

"Wanyue, you have to take care of the master, when I am not there, you are so tired, and the restaurant has also worked hard for you." Yuanhang walked up to her, stretched out his hand to wipe away the graceful tears, and admonished.

"Well, don't worry. Pay attention to your body on the road, go early and return early, I'll wait for you. Wanyo shrugged her shoulders and sobbed.

Qinghe sorted out the clothes needed for the voyage and returned to the living room, her eyes were red, and she knew that she had cried at a glance.

"Qinghe, take care of the restaurant, and go to Lord Zhizhou if you have something." Yuanhang hugged her and admonished.

"Well, you have to take care of yourself, it's cold and the road is far away, don't catch a cold." Qinghe felt that she was about to cry again, and hurriedly turned her head.

"Don't worry, Tang Ling and I will take care of me." Sail away and say goodbye to everyone one by one.

took Tang Ling and walked towards the Zhizhou Mansion. Tang Yuanwai and everyone were sent off outside the mansion until the figure of the voyage turned around the corner.

Outside the Zhizhou Mansion, a group of people had already prepared, just waiting for the arrival of the voyage. After saying goodbye to Lord Zhizhou and others, Yuanhang and the exhibition envoy set off in a carriage.

"Ye Gongzi, do you know?" Zhan Hu rubbed his hands in the car and said, "The two poems you made have been passed down as masterpieces in the back hall, and that poem of male and female love has turned everyone upside down. ”

"Don't dare, it's hard to do anything at will." Yuanhang said this, it is rare to feel that his face is hot, after all, it is a plagiarized work, and no matter how thick his skin is, he can't stand it.

"Childe is polite, whatever you do is like this, it's really my first talent." Zhan Hu continued to praise for some reason.

"Dare to ask Lord Zhan, what does the word right person of your waist card mean?" Yuanhang saw Zhan Hu move and reveal the waist card, so he moved casually and asked.

"Oh, this time I think you will also be an official, so I don't have to hide it." Zhan Hu took out his waist card and looked at it, and said, "There are three kinds of official positions in the Liang State. The civil official is called Sidu, and the waist card is the sky. The military attache is called the lieutenant, and the waist card is the ground. There is also a kind called the envoy, and the waist card is a person. The envoy is in charge of all things inside and outside the palace. For example, managing the eunuchs and maids in the palace, inquiring about news outside the palace, and supervising the ministers of the court and the central government. It is also the responsibility of the envoy to find good military generals for the country, so I recommend you to the emperor. ”

"Oh, I see." Yuanhang thought in his heart, it seems that the envoy has great power, and all he manages is real power.

"Each official position is divided into left and right, one person on the left and one on the left, and there is no limit on the number of places." Zhan Hu continued: "The officials in the imperial court are all at the top, and the state and state capital levels are also at the top, and the officials of the other counties and counties are at the bottom. ”

"Oh, then Lord Yan should be in the sky, and Du Shoubei is in the earth." The voyage suddenly came to an enlightenment.

"Yes, exactly." Zhan Hu nodded.

"Oh, Lord Zhan, I don't know what official position the emperor will give me?" Yuanhang asked with a smile.

"Haha, I don't know. However, the emperor told me that from your two poems, it can be seen that you are loyal to the country, and you will be reused. Zhan Hu said affirmatively.

"Xiaomin doesn't understand the official regulations, and he doesn't know how to use swords, guns, swords, and halberds, if Lord Zhan doesn't give up, I'll go to you." Yuanhang has already planned to mix up the position of a supervisory official, so why worry about not making a lot of money.

"Okay, if you propose it when you meet the emperor, I think the emperor will agree." Zhan Hu admires the voyage very much, and hopes that he can come to work under him.

"I have a group of people called the Dark Spirits. I sent them to protect your restaurant. If you can come, I'll hand over the dark spirits to you. Zhan Hu said as he pulled a wisp of his small beard.

"What does a dark spirit do?" Yuanhang asked curiously.

"The primary responsibility is to get information in the states, including assassinations." Zhan Hu leaned over and whispered.

"Assassination? Killer! Yuanhang shouted in surprise.

"Yes, if you can come to me, I will explain it to you in detail." Zhan Hu opened the curtain and looked at it and said, "If you go all the way, you can get to the back hall in three or four days." ”

The voyage was a little sleepy from the jolting of the carriage, so he stopped talking and leaned back on the carriage and took a nap.

At noon, passing by a post station, I got out of the carriage and prepared to have some lunch. Who knew that Ye Gonggong had no intention of staying at all, but just ordered to change the horses and continue to hurry. For lunch, I could only eat some flatbread in the carriage to satisfy my hunger. It wasn't until it got dark that the carriage stopped. Yuanhang's feet were weak, and his buttocks were bumped and unconscious. Holding the carriage station, in the yard of the post station, he saw Ye Gonggong hurriedly shouting: "Ye Gonggong, please come here." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Father-in-law Ye walked over and asked coldly.

"We don't need to be in such a hurry, right? If I do it again, I'll fall apart. Yuanhang said weakly while holding on to the carriage.

"I'll decide how to get there." Ye Gonggong didn't pay attention to the voyage at all.

"Since you have the final say, then tomorrow you go alone, and I will rush to the back hall by myself." Yuanhang is stubborn, no matter who you are.

"You dare to resist?" Gonggong Ye frowned, narrowed his eyes and asked.

"The small people did not dare to resist the decree and never resisted the decree." Yuanhang stood up straight and said, "The holy decree says that the departure will be immediate, and the small people dare not delay for a moment. But he didn't say that he was in a hurry all the way, I don't know if Gonggong Ye said that I resisted the will, where is the resistance? ”

"You are clearly misinterpreting the holy decree, and the emperor's intention is to rush back to the back hall as soon as possible." Ye Gonggong said angrily.

"Am I misinterpreting the decree? Are you saying that the emperor is confused and can't explain clearly in the holy decree? Yuanhang asked, straightening his neck.

"You ......" Ye Gonggong pointed to the voyage but was speechless.

"Tang Ling, come and help me into the post station to rest, and I will set off when I get up tomorrow." Yuanhang didn't even look at Ye Gonggong, and was helped by Tang Ling into the post station.

Zhan Hu walked up to Father-in-law Ye and said, "Father-in-law is not angry, he is a person valued by the emperor, we still don't have to rush for a while." ”

"Lord Zhan, this ...... Alas. Grandpa Ye sighed helplessly.

Zhan Hu was very happy in his heart, he saw the wit of Yuanhang again, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
