Chapter 201: Early Dynasty
Early the next morning.
Wu Qing was woken up by Taiping from his sleep and asked about the time, and the time had passed. Wu Qing was furious, this is more than three o'clock in the morning in the future, it is a good time to sleep, and he muttered, and then turned over and fell asleep.
Seeing that Wu Qing was sleepy and hazy, and fell asleep again, Princess Taiping pushed, Wu Qing's body was heavy, how could she push it, so she said: "This morning, if you can't afford it, you will be late." ”
Wu Qing woke up instantly, sat up very reluctantly, and said, "Kiss one!" ”
Taiping felt novel, so he kissed Wu Qing on the face and said with a smile: "Why are you like a child, okay, it's time to get up now." ”
Wu Qing got out of bed, his own maid came in with hot water and official clothes, after Wu cleaned and rinsed, the maidservants put on the official uniforms, the official uniforms of the four grades were dark crimson, the waist was twelve gold belts, with fish bags, and the top of the head was two crowns, holding elephant wats.
Princess Taiping leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the end from the beginning, and said with a smile: "Ah Lang is dressed like this, it really has the air of a book." ”
Wu Qing frowned and said, "If you get up so early every day, I don't know how many years you will live less." ”
Taiping said with a smile: "Now that there is one day in two days, it is not much every month, if Ah Lang thinks it is too early, I will say to my father, let him specially exempt you from going to the court." ”
Wu Qing stepped forward, held Taiping's face, kissed it, and said: "If you really tell the emperor, I won't become a laughing stock in the court, okay, I'm just talking, for you, I just work hard." ”
At this time, only the drums in the direction of the imperial city could be heard.
"Knock, knock. Boom! ”
Immediately afterwards, the drums in Jishanfang also sounded, but in a moment, the entire Luoyang City was in a drum sound.
Wu Qing straightened his official uniform. Then he went out of the room, and his own slave brought the sweat and blood horse, Wu Qing rode on the horse, and the slave led the horse out of the Wu Mansion.
After leaving the house, Wu Qing saw that on the main street, there were already officials who began to walk outside the square. Someone saw Wu Qing and bowed his hand, and Wu Qing also bowed in return. Wait out of the workshop. didn't go far, he saw the officials of the previous dynasty congested at the Tianjin bridgehead, and Wu Qing understood why those officials were walking. So Wu Qing got off the horse. Let the servants bring back the sweaty horses so that they can be served. Only then did we walk towards Tianjin Qiaotou.
Arrived at Tianjin Qiaotou. Wu Qingda frowned, there will be traffic jams in this era! That's right, it's a traffic jam, the imperial court allows elderly officials to take carriages and ox carts in the court, and officials above the third rank are all high-powered, who doesn't want to show off their status, they must take a luxury carriage, which is like a luxury car in later generations. In this era, the carriage was a status symbol.
Wu Qingzheng was looking ahead, only to hear a voice behind him calling him. Wu Qing turned around and looked, but he didn't see anyone, and then he looked closely, and there was a carriage behind him, Wu Chengsi lifted the curtains and looked at himself.
Wu Qing arched his hand and said, "Cousin! ”
Wu Chengsi is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a high-ranking official of the third grade, and the highest official position among the Wu clan, but his title is only a county man, while Wu Qing is the Duke of Zhou. Therefore, the two have always been at odds with each other, and Wu Sansi wants to be independent, so the Wu clan is now divided into three branches. On the surface, he was peaceful, but in secret, he didn't make a stumbling block, not to mention that when he was in Shangyuan County, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi actually sent someone to kill him, and this Liangzi had already been settled. But as long as the queen of heaven does not die, then the three martial arts will not break openly.
Seeing Wu Qing, Wu Chengsi snorted coldly and said, "I thought my cousin you were sitting in a carriage, by the way, cousin, you are the general of the inspection school Yu Linwei, that is Zheng Sanpin, why didn't you take the carriage?" The imperial court stipulated that those above the third rank had to take a carriage. Oh, I see, my cousin's General Yu Lin Wei is just a both, no, cousin, aren't you a servant of the ministry? Let me think about it, the servants are only four grades, but they can't take a carriage. Cousin, do you want to come to your cousin's carriage and sit and watch? ”
Wu Qing's face was pale, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, what are you arrogant, it's just a Ministry of Rites, so it's starting to be angry? Wu Chenghei has a cousin, and it is clear that he does not recognize the identity of Wuqing's Wu family's son-in-law. Wu Qing wanted to fight back, but after all, he didn't say anything, and stared at Wu Chengsi for a long time. It wasn't until the people and cars in front of him began to move that Wu Qing gently stroked the horse's head and said, "Good horse, good horse!" Then he turned and slipped into the crowd.
Wu Chengsi snorted coldly and said fiercely: "It's just a wild seed, I want to steal from my Wu family's descendants, and I want to be beautiful!" ”
"Not leaving?" Wu Chengsi ordered.
The servant raised his whip and whipped it on his horse, and the horse trembled for a while, and fell on his knees in the middle of the road.
In an instant, there was an uproar, and the entire carriage scattered from the middle, only to see that the body was broken inch by inch, becoming a pile of waste, and Wu Chengsi was buried in the middle.
I could only hear Wu Chenghe's scream like a pig, "Someone, help, there are ghosts!" ”
For a time, the officials of the previous dynasty gathered in the center, amazed and discussed, but did not come forward. Because it's so weird, and many officials are very disdainful of Wu Chengsi and Wu's family, so why don't you watch it for a while.
Wu Qing could hear the shouts behind him, raised his eyes and looked up, and couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect his internal strength to achieve such an effect. In addition to the ecstasy in his heart, his body trembled.
This is internal strength! Destroy the car invisibly!
It wasn't until half an hour later that Wu Qing came to the outside of the end gate, outside the end gate, the court officials flattered each other in twos and threes, complimented each other, discussed with each other, in short, they had everything to say.
Wu Qing didn't know many court officials, so he was alone, raised his eyes to the end gate of the imperial city, and just waited for the end gate to open and go to the Qianyuan Palace.
At this time, the sky was just bright, and the drumming in Luoyang had stopped, Wu Qing could feel that the air in Luoyang in the morning was so fresh, compared to the dirty air of those cities in the previous life, it was really a pleasure, so he took a deep breath.
"The squire seems to be very comfortable!"
A voice came from behind him, Wu Qing turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man, dressed in a six-grade dark green official uniform, Wu Qing arched his hand and smiled: "Such an early morning, such a scene, such a magnificent, how can it not be pleasant?" ”
"Zheng Xiwen, the examiner of the subordinate department, has seen Wu Shilang!" The middle-aged man arched his hand.
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Zheng Yike, the examiner of the merit tester in the last Yuan Dynasty? ”
"It's my father, after my father was demoted that year, he died soon after." Zheng Xiwen said.
Wu Qing was very emotional, Zheng Yi judged himself to be the head of the state, but he was implicated and degraded, and he never wanted to go in his heart, but he forgot about it when he was busy. Wu Qing's face was sad, and he said: "When the old gentleman was degraded because of me, Qingshi really didn't want to go. If there is any difficulty in the future, just look for me, and I can do it to help you. ”
Zheng Xiwen said gratefully: "Then Xiwen will thank the waiter first, and I hope to work with the waiter in the future." ”
Wu Qing nodded, the examiner of the Ministry of Officials is directly under the management of the Ministry of Officials, and it belongs to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they will work together in the future.
At this time, the gate of Duanmen slowly opened with a dull friction sound, and Youji shouted: "The emperor and queen of heaven are coming to the court, and hundreds of officials will go on the pilgrimage to see you!" ”
So Cui Zhiwen, the highest-ranking Zhongshu Ling, led the civil officials and the crown prince Li Zhe to lead the military attaches into the Duanmen Gate in turn, and slowly walked towards the Qianyuan Hall behind the Zetian Gate.
At this time, the first rays of sunlight in the sky shone, and the imperial city was bathed in a morning light, which was sacred! (To be continued......)
