Chapter 185 [Going to Work]

In Chang'an in April, spring is strong, and the morning air is wafting with a warm smoke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Fang wore a cyan court dress, wore a cicada crown on his head, a red belt tied at his waist, a seal bag hung on the belt, and a purple ribbon representing the identity of the princes, and walked slowly on the Huayang Street of the previous dynasty. When walking, two long vermilion ribbons dance lightly in the wind, smart and elegant.

Looking at Zhang Fang's formal attire, needless to say, it must be the last court.

This is Zhang Fang's first time in the court, and he did not take a car. Originally, Qili was very close to Weiyang Palace, and it was useless to take a car except to show his identity. What's more, it is the spring season, hiking the long street, the breeze is blowing, the body and mind are happy, such an enjoyment, Zhang Fang does not want to miss it.

There are three streets leading to palaces such as Weiyang Palace, and the central one is called "Chi Dao", which is the emperor's special passage and is not allowed to enter by ordinary people. Huayang Street is close to the road, and it is one of the main streets where the horizontal gate in the north of Chang'an leads directly to Weiyang Palace. Trees are planted on both sides of the street, and in spring and summer, the trees are shady and people walk under it.

On this road, the officials of the previous dynasty came and went, and most of them took chariots and horses. Most of those who wore vermilion paint were high-ranking officials of more than 2,000 stones; Most of the people with vermilion lacquer wheels were officials with more than 1,000 stones; And those petty officials with hundreds of stones either ride in ox carts or walk in carts with lanterns.

These cars are lavishly decorated, with long flags hanging next to the curtains, some of which are written with the official title of the owner, and some of which are printed with family crests, which is clear at a glance. Most of the names of officials and lords written on the long flags are nouveau riche or ordinary officials, while those with family emblems are eunuchs who have been officials or marquis for many generations.

Zhang Fang walked on the side of the street, watching the carriages pass by, silently remembering in his heart, overlapping the family crests with the information in his mind.

At this time, a carriage suddenly stopped, the curtain opened, and a middle-aged man who was also wearing a cyan court dress, wearing a cicada crown, a jade belt around his waist, a white complexion, and a well-maintained middle-aged man smiled: "It's Yi Xiao, not bad, this crown dress is very spiritual." Shi Han and Stone have been talking about you recently, so you might as well come to my mansion to get together in your spare time. ”

When Zhang Fang saw it, he hurriedly saluted and said: "It's Shi Shi's father, the little nephew is polite." ”

This person is the great Sima of Emperor Xuan, the high son of the Marquis of Leling, the captain of the horse, and the servant of Shi Dan. Stan is also a relative, but unlike Zhang Lin, the Marquis of Fuping, Zhang Lin is a real "concubine", and Stan is just a captain. In the Han Dynasty, the horse was the captain, and there was no meaning of "horse" in later generations, but when the emperor went out on patrol, he accompanied him left and right, thinking that he was riding.

Stan also has an official position: the prince's concubine.

Although this position is not high, it is only 600 stones, but it is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and he is the chief of the prince's attendants, and he is very dependent on the prince.

With the position of serving and riding a horse, he accompanies the Son of Heaven; As a concubine, he guards the prince. This Stan is completely able to eat both the old and the new, regardless of the old dynasty or the new dynasty, he is a very open character.

Zhang Fang's mind kept flashing Shi Dan's information, and he said: "The little nephew has not seen Shi Zhongzi and Shi Jiu for many days, and when he is resting, he will definitely pay a visit." ”

Shi Han is the third of the five-person group, and he was originally one of Zhang Fang's hardcores. However, when Zhang Fang had just returned to Chang'an and needed help the most, he was afraid of being burdened by Zhang Fang's bad reputation, and he had many suggestions for Deng Zhan's invitation, so Zhang Fang didn't bother with him. But since Stan has spoken, let's find an opportunity to get together, no matter what, they are all people in the same circle, and it is impossible not to deal with each other.

Stan nodded with a smile, looked up at the sky, and said, "The court meeting is coming, don't delay, we'll see you later." ”

The two saluted each other, the carriage drove away, and Zhang Fang also quickened his pace.

In front of Weiyang Palace, the palace gate was wide open, and officials rushed in. There are palace guards on both sides of the gate to check the official card, and then check with me before they can be released.

Zhang Fang was the first day of the court, and the palace guards saw him face to face, checked the official card and the seal, repeated several times, and then let him enter the palace.

Entering the palace gate, but seeing the long corridor full of cyan figures, although there is still some time before the court meeting, but the officials are all in a hurry, rather than sooner rather than late. There will be no prize for arriving early, but there will definitely be a penalty for arriving late.

In the Han Dynasty, the official uniforms of officials have not yet been divided according to grades, and the official uniforms of high-ranking officials of 2,000 stone and petty officials of 600 stone are basically the same, the difference is only in the color of the ribbon of the official seal: the purple ribbon above 2,000 stones; More than 2,000 stones are green ribbons; More than 600 stone is black ribbon; Below 600 stone is yellow ribbon. Basically, as long as you look at the color of the ribbon, you can understand the size of the other party's rank.

As for the color of the court clothes, they are rotated according to the four seasons, with cyan in spring, red in summer, yellow in autumn and black in winter. At this time, it is spring, so the road of Weiyang Palace is full of green shadows.

Walking to the end of the road, and then turning into the triple palace gate, the eyes suddenly opened up, and Zhang Fang finally saw the appearance of the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

As the tallest palace of more than 40 palaces in Weiyang Palace, the front hall of Weiyang is in the middle of the whole palace, sitting in the north and facing south, the height is equivalent to five floors, and the area is the size of three standard football fields. Climb the steps along the dragon tail road, carve the railing on both sides, stand on the cloud platform in front of the palace, raise your eyes and look up, the majestic and vast palace, the golden glazed tile, the thirty-two vermilion lacquer pillars, the armor that stands like a sculpture, and the four corners of the huge red copper tripod, all give people a strong visual impact.

Turning around to look at the southwest, looking over the palace wall, in the distance is the vast Cangchi Pond, the gradual platform in the center of the pond is like a small black dot, the long wind blows, with a faint moisture.

At this time, the sky is dawning, and an egg yolk-like sun jumps out of the horizon, reflecting the splendor of the golden walls of the cascading palace, like an oil painting.

The gimbal was already full of officials, divided into two shifts of civil and military, crowded, whispering to each other, and it was not noisy.

Zhang Fang naturally followed the civil officials, because there were too many officials in the previous dynasty, each had communication, and no one noticed the youngest new official.

At this time, a whisper sounded behind Zhang Fang: "Marquis Fuping, the matter of going to the Yumen Pass is a dereliction of duty, and I pray that the prince will forgive him for the crime of laxity." ”

The three words "Yumen Pass" touched Zhang Fang's nerves, and before he turned his head, through the word "Si Li" and the tone of the other party's speech, Zhang Fang already knew who the other party was.

Si Li's lieutenant Zhuge Feng.

This is a man in his forties, tall and thin, and even apologizes with a straight face. It really fits the image of "Director of National Security" in Zhang Fang's mind.

The two looked at each other, and Zhuge Feng continued: "Dunhuang County is engaged in Lu'an, and he has been removed from his post and arrested, and he will be beheaded after the autumn. ”

It may be that the "Director of National Security" has been in office for a long time, Zhuge Feng acted decisively, and his tone was unquestionable, as if everything should be taken for granted.

Zhang Fang smiled, raised his head slightly, and was about to speak.

Three clear chimes came from the bell room in the distance, and the court meeting began, and Zhang Fang began the first day of working in the Han Dynasty.
