Chapter 118: Parade of Officials

Not only Zhu Youcheng, but even many people in Beijing are very much looking forward to the days of parade in the streets, the reason is very simple, because first, there are too few entertainment projects in Beijing, and it is rare to have a lively onlooker; Second, I heard that Zhu Youcheng is a beautiful man, so I want to watch it even more.

The Ministry of Rites prepared a white horse for Zhu Youcheng. The horse was born beautifully, snow-white, without a single stray hair, and its eyes were black and bright. When Zhu Youcheng rode the yellow horse saw such a beautiful horse, he couldn't even move his steps, so he just took the horse's head to arch the white horse's neck. It's a pity that this white horse is very arrogant, and he doesn't pay attention to the yellow horse. Only then did he notice that the white horse was a mare, and it was no wonder that the yellow horse was entangled like a fly in blood.

Zhu Youcheng saw Huang Huma's unambitious appearance and comforted: "It's prettier than you, but you run faster than it." ”

The yellow horse seemed to understand him, spread his hooves, and ran. The Ministry of Rites is in the middle of the city, and if it is allowed to have fun, it will be terrible. Zhu Youcheng pulled the reins, and the yellow husper stood up. It's a shame that Zhu Youcheng's legs are clamped tightly, otherwise he will fall off.

Zhu Youcheng hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I know that you are very strong." When the official is over, I will discuss with the Ministry of Rites and take the white horse home, kick it if you want, bite it if you want. ”

Wang Tu stood beside him, his face turned into a flower, and said, "Master Zhu, this horse will be given to you." There are a lot of horses in the Ministry of Rites, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. However, it is customary to ride the streets on a white horse, and it is best for Lord Zhu to change to this horse tomorrow. ”

If you have a cheap advantage, you will not be punished, and the bad people's marriage is too lacking in morality, so Zhu Youcheng naturally nodded and agreed.

The yellow horse seemed to understand the conversation between the two, and put his face on it again, pestering the white horse.

Ignoring what the two animals were doing, Zhu Youcheng entered the Ministry of Rites to discuss the procession.

It turns out that after the three tripod armor, that is, the champion, the list of eyes, and the list of flowers, there are qualifications to praise the official parade on the street, that is, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials hold the holy purpose in front of the road, followed by the drum honor guard, the champion or the Bangyan, Tanhua is dressed in a red robe, a hat with a palace flower, and rides a high-headed horse through the lively streets of the capital. Because of the holy decree, both officials and the common people must perform the ritual of kneeling three times and bowing nine times.

When the champion was parade on the street, he originally struck three gongs, but Zhu Youcheng was also a member of the fourth grade, so the gong should be five and a half gongs. What is a five-and-a-half-stick gong? When you finish striking the fifth stick, cover the gong with your hand and stop the echo of the gong.

As for the honor guard card, there are more, in addition to the official title card - two Siye cards, a calm envoy card, there are three yuan and the first card, two champion cards, two will be yuan cards, and two solution yuan cards, and finally there is a six-yuan card, several more than the ordinary champion card. These brands had to be produced in a hurry, so the date of the official announcement was postponed by two days.

------------------

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Early in the morning, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to urge.

Zhu Youcheng didn't dare to slack off, and rode Xiaobai out of the door - Xiaobai is the name Zhu Youcheng gave to the white horse.

Xiaobai and Rhubarb - that is, the yellow horse, these two animals are locked together, and they actually have feelings. Seeing that Xiaobai was leaving, Rhubarb was a little reluctant, Zhu Youcheng comforted: "Rhubarb, it's not to send Xiaobai away, but to go out to run errands, and I'll be back later." ”

Rhubarb seemed to understand Zhu Youcheng's words, and rubbed his hand with his nose, which was regarded as a response.

Zhu Youcheng traveled all the way, and came to the Ministry of Rites after a while. I saw that the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials were already waiting there, and the drum band and the guard of honor were all ready.

Seeing Zhu Youcheng coming, the officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly took Zhu Youcheng to the back hall.

Feng Menglong is now the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he is very familiar with Zhu Youcheng, and when he saw that it was inconvenient for Zhu Youcheng to change clothes alone, he stepped forward to help. Feng Menglong helped him take off the python robe on his body and put on a fourth-grade red robe. This red robe was also freshly made, because Zhu Youcheng was not enough and could not wear the regular official robe, so the Ministry of Rites sent someone to tailor it for him. The clothes are easy to make, but the official supplement is not easy to do, and the Ministry of Rites invited an embroiderer to embroider for two days and two nights before embroidering. This is Zhu Youcheng, the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if someone else is replaced, the Ministry of Rites will not pay attention to this kind of thing.

Zhu Youcheng's civil official position is from the fourth grade, and the military attache official position is also from the fourth grade, so the Ministry of Rites prepared for him is a civil official supplement for the fourth grade, and the complement is embroidered with Yun Yan. The craftsmanship of the embroidery girl is really amazing, these two cloud geese are vivid, and they are almost about to spread their wings and fly out of the complement.

Putting on a mending uniform and tying a jade belt, the people in the hall cheered together, only to see Zhu Youcheng's sword eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and his expression was flying, and it was indescribably cute to wear a well-fitting official robe.

Zhu Youcheng rode on a white horse, the drum band struck five and a half gongs, and the honor guard went forward.

The people were already lined up on both sides of the road, and when they saw the officials leading the way with the holy decree in their hands, they knelt down and saluted, and the mountain shouted long live.

Only when the officials walked past did they stand up and discuss in a whisper.

A man who claimed to be a jack of all trades listened carefully to the sound of the gong, and was amazed, and said, "Did you hear that?" Five and a half gongs. Listen, one stick gong, two stick gongs, three stick gongs, four stick gongs, five stick gongs, listen carefully, this is the last stick gong, right, only half a stick. ”

The people next to him asked, "What do these five and a half gongs mean?" ”

"The seven-rank county official appeared, three gongs, six gongs appeared, five gongs appeared, and four gongs appeared on the fourth. Oh, Zhuang Yuanlang has been officially sealed four products, although it is from the fourth grade, but it is also the first case of the Ming Dynasty. ”

A sharp-eyed citizen pointed to the honor guard and said, "Wow, there are so many official titles in the champion." ”

Someone read: "Daming School of Administration, Daming Military Academy, Daming Jinyiwei Town Fu ......"

"You didn't read it wrong, how could there be a person in the Ming Dynasty who held both civil and military positions?" A scholar asked.

"Why not, the current Liaodong Governor Wang Zaijin Prince, who is also the Liaodong Economic Strategy, the Secretary of the Military Department, and the Right Deputy Imperial History, is both civil and military."

"Hahaha......," the scholar laughed loudly and said, "The three positions of Liaodong Economic Strategy, Military Department Shangshu, and Right Deputy Capital Yushi are all civil officials, and there is no military position." ”

The man's face turned red and said: "Zhuangyuanlang is both civil and military, and he has created a historical precedent, even if he combines civilian and military duties at the same time, it is not surprising." Look at the back of the brand, Guihai Kewen champion, another brand, Guihai Kewu champion. The two champions of civil and military, a unique case in the history of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the legend Zhu Youcheng is the reincarnation of Kuixing, and he came down to assist the Ming Lord, which is right. Daming ZTE is hopeful, ZTE is hopeful. ”

Such conversations abound in the crowd.

Women in the Ming Dynasty were generally more restrained, but seeing that Zhu Youcheng was a beautiful young man with a graceful demeanor and a gentle smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel excited, and some girls couldn't help but feel the heart of spring and quietly straightened out their cloud temples.

A middle-aged woman, seeing that Zhu Youcheng was as warm as jade, but sweating like pulp in the sun, and her heart was overflowing with motherhood, she took out an apple, threw it over, and said: "Zhuangyuanlang, the weather is too hot, please eat an apple to quench your thirst." ”

Zhu Youcheng saw that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so he leaned over and took the apple, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, took a bite, and arched his hand to the woman and said, "Thank you, auntie, the apple is so sweet." ”

This action was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the women on the street threw the fruit in their hands one after another. Zhu Youcheng couldn't catch so many fruits even if he had thousands of arms, so he had to let them fall to the ground and be trampled into mud by the honor guard who followed.

These fruits are both local and some high-priced fruits shipped from the south, both seasonal fruits and some out-of-season fruits that have been stored for a long time. However, some women did not do it very well, and even threw away the bananas they bought, which were bright green in color and looked like they were raw. You should be Zhu Youcheng a fairy, and the banana will be ripe when you touch it. If Zhu Youcheng doesn't know the banana and eats one, his tongue will not be numb for a few days.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but think of the allusion to the fruit throwing car, when the beautiful man Pan An in the Western Jin Dynasty went to the street, the woman was fascinated by his appearance and threw fruit into his car, and every time he could return with a full load. I knew that I could also enjoy Pan An's treatment, so let's bring a car out, and I think Xinwang, a guy who loves fruits, will be very happy.

Seeing that the women were all well-intentioned, Zhu Youcheng was inconvenient for the guards to stop him. He was a little glad that the season was spring, and the fruits were not too big. If it is summer, throw a cantaloupe or watermelon over, it will be miserable, by the way, I heard that there is a bigger fruit in Southeast Asia, called durian, which is as lethal as a mace, if you have a durian...... Zhu Youcheng shivered, but fortunately Zheng He did not bring back the seeds of this fruit when he went to the West.

The streets are full of melons and fruits, and the official parade has become a carnival.

At this moment, a tragic call came from the front: "Zhu Gongzi, I am wronged!" ”

The street was silent, the procession suddenly stopped, and Zhu Youcheng saw a woman kneeling in front of him through the crowd.

Who would tickle when he was proud? Don't you know that the most proud thing in life is the title of the gold list, praising officials and parading the streets?
