Chapter 211: Becoming an Official
Zhu Houxi, whose expression on his face did not have any unnecessary changes, was quite satisfied with Li Wenxuan's answer in his heart. Subsequently, the two began to discuss some of the classics in Taoist books. Li Wenxuan, who was a little relieved, was glad that he had been working hard in this regard. He answered Zhu Houxi one by one.
At the same time, Li Wenxuan felt for the first time what it means to live like a year, and what it means to live and die hanging by a thread. He has a strong sense of crisis, and the unsteadiness in his heart makes him always feel that if he is not careful, his future may be ruined and he will die. He is a person who has died once, and if he dies again, he is not a stranger, but he can't affect his family, after all, the Ming Dynasty has a precedent for exterminating the ten clans.
Zhu Houxi naturally had a little affection for the young man in front of him who was not much different from his age, after all, the two had common topics and hobbies. Li Wenxuan didn't drag his feet when he answered his question, which was enough to show that he had a certain level of cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have prayed for rain.
In the face of such a Taoist talent, Zhu Houxi wants to keep it for his own use. He didn't express his position immediately, waved his hand, and ended his first meeting and conversation with Li Wenxuan. The great eunuch who understood the meaning of the master, led Li Wenxuan, who stood up again, all the way out of the hall.
Li Wenxuan, who felt that his legs were not good and sour, was on his knees on the ground for too long, and secondly, he still had lingering palpitations in his heart about this meeting, after all, he couldn't understand what Zhu Houxi was thinking. I can't help but worry that he will anger Long Yan, and he will deeply feel that the unequal status will inevitably cause great psychological pressure.
Li Wenxuan, who left the palace, did not let the people from his family follow, so he had to walk back. Zhao Tian'er, Lin Ruoxi, and Su Meiniang were not calm in their hearts as soon as they heard that he had entered the palace to face the saint. Seeing the emperor is different from seeing other people, after all, the other party has the power of life and death in his hands. This time, they had gathered in the hall and waited eagerly for him to return.
Li Wenxuan, who had walked a long way to return home, didn't want to move as soon as he sat on the circle chair, and the dirty clothes that had long been wet with sweat were also stained on his skin. He drank the tea, quenched his thirst, and then breathed a sigh of relief. I really felt physically and mentally exhausted when I saw the emperor this time, after all, the most personal feeling was that I had walked a lot, and I was highly concentrated.
Zhao Tian'er, Lin Ruoxi, and Su Meiniang, who were almost unanimously interested, surrounded him together, and asked one after another what the current emperor looks like? Is the palace big? Isn't it resembling the rumored splendor? Are all the bricks and stones of the floor made of gold? And so on and so forth.
"I'm tired of being like this. Can't you three just be quiet? Li Wenxuan, who drooped his head, did not answer their questions, but had a feeling of wanting to rest, and he was powerless.
Su Meiniang, who is very good at looking at the direction of the wind, smiled and massaged his shoulders and said, "Husband, I have worked hard to enter the palace this time." Let the slave serve you well. Zhao Tian'er, whose belly was getting bigger and bigger, did have something inconvenient, so she no longer asked this and that, but let Ning Xiang help herself to sit on the circle chair next to her.
Lin Ruoxi, who walked to the side and sat down, didn't ask any more gossip questions, temporarily restrained her curiosity about the palace in her heart, and turned to the topic. I believe that Li Wenxuan will not go to see the emperor to talk about boring topics: "Xianggong is fortunate to meet His Majesty this time, I don't know what you all said?" ”
"The topic we revolve around is about monasticism." Li Wenxuan was quite impressed by Su Meiniang's massage, and at the same time told the truth about his experience at the time: "During the whole process, the husband spent it in a highly tense and depressing atmosphere. I'm really afraid that if I say something wrong, it will even affect you. ”
Zhao Tian'er, who couldn't understand it at all, looked at him with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Brother Wenxuan, you can't be lying, right?" Is the emperor really as terrible as you say? ”
"Haven't you heard of what it means to be a companion like a tiger?" recalled Li Wenxuan, who didn't feel easy at all at that time, and really couldn't understand that the protagonists in film and television dramas could talk and laugh when they saw the emperor for the first time, without any psychological pressure, and even as soon as the protagonist's halo was opened, he could do whatever he wanted.
"It's finally over. From now on, let's live in the capital well! After a pause, Li Wenxuan, who didn't want to think about his own holy affairs, comforted himself on the one hand, and gave the three of them a blow in advance.
Li Wenxuan, who had not yet rested, suddenly saw Zhao Han is leading another unknown eunuch into the room. He was about to ask, but before he could speak, he was asked to kneel down and accept the order. Li Wenxuan, who was very helpless in his heart, had no choice but to follow the other party's intentions and lead the family members present to kneel to the ground together.
Immediately, the eunuch who took out the holy decree read it out with a serious face. After listening carefully to his recitation, Li Wenxuan really didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. According to the meaning of the holy decree, he was named a real person of Qiankun by Zhu Houxi, the deputy supervisor of the sixth rank of Qin Tianjian, and he also became a deputy department-level cadre from no administrative level at any level.
Li Wenxuan, who received the decree with both hands, wanted to give a big red envelope to the eunuch who came to deliver the decree. After sending the other party away, he returned to sit in the circle chair again, unfolded the holy decree in his hand and read it several times. He didn't go as crazy as Fan Jinzhongju, but he knew very well what Qin Tianjian was doing. The work there is to observe the celestial phenomena, calculate the solar terms, and formulate the calendar.
Li Wenxuan, who was a professional counterpart to his previous life, couldn't help but feel a little lost. This is an out-and-out cold yamen without any oil and water. If you go to Qintianjian by yourself, even if you go to drink tea, chat, and retire. Other than that, he really didn't know what else Lu Dao could do. This is the National Meteorological Bureau of later generations, although it is also a cold yamen, but the role of existence is still quite obvious, after all, weather prediction can be related to the travel, production and life of the masses, as well as national defense, and so on.
Lin Ruoxi, Su Meiniang, Zhao Tianer, and the slaves and maids present who couldn't help but congratulate them together. Zhao Tian'er, who was the happiest, asked urgently with a happy eyebrow: "Brother Wenxuan, you are also an official." I just don't know if the deputy of the Qin Heavenly Prison is higher than our lord in Guixi County? ”
"Guixi Zhixian is the seventh grade, and Xianggong is the sixth grade, which is two levels higher than the other party. The former is a magistrate, while the latter is a Beijing official. Lin Ruoxi, who was standing on the side, gave her an answer, and said intentionally: "Even if you win the Jinshi in the imperial examination, you are generally awarded the official who is released from the seventh grade." Only the top three who win the champion, the top eye, and the tanhua will be retained in the Beijing Hanlin Academy, and the grade will not exceed the sixth grade at most. Xiang Gong is an official of the six grades, and he is indeed regarded as having received the emperor's grace and the favor of the Son of Heaven. ”
"Husband, you don't seem to be very happy?" Su Meiniang noticed that Li Wenxuan was expressionless, so she asked.
"It's miserable!" Li Wenxuan, who shook his head, put the holy decree in his hand on the table next to him, and sighed.
Li Wenxuan didn't care too much about whether Qin Tianjian belonged to the Leng Yamen. What makes him unhappy is that he is an official, so he has to go to the court. When I talk about the last dynasty, I feel that it is a handful of bitterness and tears. At three o'clock in the morning, I got to gather outside the noon gate, queue up, roll call, and then enter through the Jinshui Bridge, and at five o'clock in the morning, it was officially started. Only fourth-grade officials are qualified to stand inside the house, while officials like themselves can only stand in the open air outside. After finishing the work, they have to go back to their respective yamen offices. Even if you don't have anything to do, you can't just slip back to catch up on sleep.
Li Wenxuan, who thought that he would have to rush there at three o'clock in the morning, estimated that he had to get up before one o'clock in the morning. If you still have to write a recital or something, you basically don't have to sleep. As soon as it was dark, he had to go to bed and sleep with his mother-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get up. If it is winter, it will be one struggle after another and a struggle of ideas. The emperor can not go to court for 20 years, but the courtiers don't think about it. Even if he knew that Emperor Lu Dao would not come, he had to go through that form.
"It's not good to be an official? It's the first time the slave family has heard of it. Su Meiniang, who didn't know what was going on in his head, was immersed in the joy of becoming an official eunuch all of a sudden. She has always believed that being an official is tens of millions of times stronger than being a common person, and she also recognizes that everything is inferior, and only being an official is high.
"That's it, that's it." Zhao Tian'er, who echoed it, couldn't help but be excited when she thought that Li Wenxuan was an official who was bigger than the county lord, but she also couldn't understand what he was thinking at the moment.
Compared with Lin Ruoxi, who was full of excitement between the two of them, she believed that this start would not be high, and asked tentatively: "Is Xianggong unhappy that he went to the cold yamen?" ”
"Not really. Originally, I thought that His Majesty would give me a Taoist temple in the capital, after all, Taoists should go to the place where they cultivated and alchemist. I never thought that he would make me an official. Li Wenxuan, who thought that he was going to make a big adjustment to his current schedule and rest time, was reluctant to sleep as long as he wanted.
Lin Ruoxi, who was relieved at once, boldly guessed: "Presumably, today's son thinks that Xianggong can handle this important responsibility, so he will appoint you to go." ”
Li Wenxuan, who understood that the wood was in the boat and could no longer be changed, smiled and said, "Accept your auspicious words." ”
