Imperial City, Dong'anmen.

Since today is a great court once every six days, and all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Beijing go to court, the inventory of the imperial city gate is much stricter than usual, and the soldiers guarding the city gate are twice as many as usual.

Li Yuntian and Lei Ting stood beside the carriage loaded with green vegetables, their heads bowed and blending in with the crowd entering the city.

Some men in civilian clothes walked through the crowd with portraits of Li Yuntian in their hands, carefully comparing everyone who entered the city.

"What for?" A big man came to Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, glanced at the two of them, and asked expressionlessly.

"We are delivering food to the Ministry of Rites, and these military masters at the city gate know about it." Without waiting for Li Yuntian to answer, the vegetable vendor standing in front hurriedly walked over, nodded and said to the big man, "These two are my nephews and nieces and daughters-in-law in the countryside, and they came to Beijing to help me." ”

When the big man heard this, he picked up the portrait and looked at it, because Li Yuntian had a beard on his face, he was deliberately dressed in disguise, and the portrait was only seven or eight points similar to him, so his current image was completely different from the person on the portrait.

Lei Ting had already noticed that the portraits in the hands of those big men were somewhat similar to Li Yuntian, and she couldn't help but get nervous in her heart, so she deliberately stepped forward and grabbed Li Yuntian's arm, showing a scared look.

Seeing this, Dahan thought that the two were a young couple from the countryside, and then walked up to check the people behind.

Li Yuntian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has passed this first level, as long as he has deceived these plainclothes men, then the soldiers guarding the city will definitely not embarrass the vegetable sellers.

At this moment, Li Yuntian suddenly felt a hot pain in his arm, as if he had been pinched by Lei Ting, and couldn't help but look down at Lei Ting who was holding him suspiciously.

Lei Ting raised her eyebrows, glanced at the portrait of the big man nearby, and then blinked, as if to question him why those big men were holding his portrait in their hands.

Li Yuntian smiled bitterly when he saw this, and rubbed the pinched place helplessly, if he could sue Sù Lei Ting, he would have sued Sù a long time ago.

Sure enough, as Li Yuntian expected, when the carriage blocking vegetables came to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate simply checked it and let it go, and the vegetable vendors delivered vegetables to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites every day, and they were already very familiar with the soldiers at the city gate, so there was undoubtedly a lot less trouble.

After entering the imperial city, Lei Ting looked around curiously, this was the first time she had come to the legendary noble and mysterious imperial city, and she was curious about every building in the imperial city.

Li Yuntian quietly observed the pro-soldiers who would pass by from time to time, these pro-soldiers not only wore helmets and armor, but also some of them also held crossbows in their hands, which made the atmosphere at the scene seem a little solemn and depressing. The update is the fastest and most stable

Generally speaking, the crossbow bow is too lethal and too murderous, so the pro-army in the imperial city will not use it lightly, so as not to collide with Luanjia, and the imperial city is an inner city, and there is a capital city as an external barrier, and crossbow bows are not used.

But now the pro-army is rarely equipped with a crossbow, which makes Li Yuntian can't help but smell a breath of a big war coming, if it were him, he would definitely avoid the outside of the city and choose the location of the decisive battle with the Han King in the imperial city controlled by the pro-army.

Since you have to pass in front of the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go from Dong'an Gate to the Ministry of Rites, in order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Yuntian kept his head down when approaching the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Hey, do you see, this is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I heard that the Imperial History and the Eight Mansion Inspectors are here." The door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate quickly attracted Lei Ting's attention, Lei Ting stood on tiptoe and glanced into the courtyard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and said to Li Yuntian with an excited face.

Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, but did not speak, it was obvious that outsiders like Lei Ting did not know the relationship between supervising the imperial history and patrolling the imperial history, and mistakenly thought that the temporary inspection of the imperial history was also a kind of position in the Imperial Procuratorate.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, you see that you are young, and you have also read books, you should do something serious, don't mess around anymore, although I don't expect you to be the imperial history, but you have to take a fame, otherwise the book will not be read in vain." Seeing Li Yuntian's disapproving look, Lei Ting felt a burst of fire in her heart for no reason, and taught her an old-fashioned lesson.

"Yes, yes, the lady is reasonable, I will study hard behind closed doors when I go back, and I will definitely be named on the gold list, and I will also be a patrol of the eight mansions at that time." Li Yuntian didn't expect Lei Ting to compare this truth with him, but he was afraid that the vegetable vendor in front of him would be suspicious, so he had to say perfunctorily.

"Phew, you're really thick-skinned, do you think anyone can be the governor of the Eight Mansions?" Lei Ting didn't expect Li Yuntian to call her "lady", she couldn't help but blush, and sneered, "I look at you, at most, you are a magistrate!" ”

"Girl, don't look down on the magistrate, there is an imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that was raised by the Lord Banzai from the position of the magistrate." Hearing this, the vegetable vendor who was driving in front couldn't help but open his mouth, "And later I was admitted to the Shu Jishi." ”

"Grigs?" Lei Ting had never heard of this term, and it felt very unfamiliar.

"Girl, you know the Hanlin Academy, those Hanlin in it are the most learned in our Ming Dynasty, and only the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua can directly become Hanlin in each palace examination." Seeing this, the vegetable seller couldn't help but show off his knowledge, and said to Lei Ting quite proudly, "If the rest of the Jinshi want to become Hanlin, they must first become Shujishi!" ”

"Look at other people, they have all become Jijishi, and you still don't even have a fame, don't you feel that your previous time was wasted?" Lei Ting understood now, and couldn't help but say to Li Yunyuan.

Li Yuntian had an urge to burst into tears, he was sure that the imperial history in the vegetable seller's mouth was talking about him, why did you say that you were a vegetable seller who was fooling around with so many useless things for no reason, so that he was innocently implicated and was taught a lesson by Lei Ting.

"Girl, people can't be good-looking, I can't guarantee that this little brother can also be a great minister in the future and become an important minister of our Ming Dynasty." The vegetable seller saw that his words caused a conflict between the young couple, and hurriedly started a round.

Lei Ting wanted to mutter a few more words to Li Yuntian, but when she saw him drooping her head, she swallowed the words that came to her lips, and even she didn't know what was wrong with her, why she became such a mother-in-law, as if she was a resentful woman.

As one of the six departments of the Daming Hall, the vendor's pawn naturally could not enter from the main gate, and the vegetable vendor drove the car to a side gate of the Ministry of Rites, and the doorman guarding the door did not come forward to interrogate and let the vegetable seller drive the carriage in, and stopped in the courtyard of the kitchen of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Yuntian and Lei Ting carried vegetables from the carriage in an orderly manner, and while the vegetable vendor was chatting with the miscellaneous servants of the Ministry of Rites, he took out two bags from the vegetable basket and led Lei Ting to quietly leave the courtyard and slip into a utility room with no one in the courtyard next door.

"Hey, can you tell us what the hell we're going to do now?" After entering the room, Li Yuntian and Lei Ting changed clothes across a shelf, and when they changed their clothes, Lei Ting came to Li Yuntian and couldn't help asking.

"Enter the palace!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to sort out the clothes on Lei Ting's body, and quietly spit out two words from his mouth.

"Into the palace?" Lei Ting was stunned, then her face changed, and she looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, "You are crazy, that is the palace, you think it is a vegetable garden, you can enter it casually, and you will be arrested by those pro-soldiers as soon as you arrive at the palace gate." ”

"See, this seal is basically exactly the same as the seal that supervises the imperial history, as long as you rely on it, those pro-soldiers don't dare to do anything to us." Li Yuntian smiled and took out the small copper mark from his body, shook it at Lei Ting, and said confidently.

"It's just such a broken mark, and they won't reveal it when they check it." Lei Ting felt a little funny, and couldn't help but step forward and touch Li Yuntian's forehead, wanting to see if he was sick and confused, and he wanted to do such a crazy thing.

"The seal of the imperial history is different from the seal of an ordinary official, not only is it small in size, but it also has a yellow ribbon tied at the end of the handle."

Li Yuntian brought the small copper seal to Lei Ting's eyes, showed her the yellow ribbon tied on the handle of the seal, and explained to her in an orderly manner, "Those pro-soldiers have only heard of the appearance of the imperial seal, and few people have seen it, let alone recognize it, so they will definitely not arrest us." ”

"What are you going to do? Trespassing on Miyagi is a big crime. Lei Ting felt that Li Yuntian's thoughts were clear, not like he was sick, so he removed his hand from his forehead and asked with a puzzled expression, "Although those pro-soldiers don't know that your copper seal is fake, but entering the palace requires the emperor to summon it, how can you enter?" ”

"When you get to the palace gate, you'll understand." Li Yuntian tidied up the black gauze hat on his head and smiled at Lei Ting, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life." ”

When Lei Ting heard this, the corners of her mouth squirmed and wanted to ask, but seeing that Li Yuntian's expression was relaxed and his tone was very tight, she then gave up, just like Li Yuntian said, she didn't believe that Li Yuntian would risk his life.

Seeing that Li Yuntian's black gauze hat was a little not worn, Lei Ting subconsciously reached out to help, to be honest, Li Yuntian's official robe fits very well when worn, if the beard on his face is removed, it can undoubtedly be described as Yushu Linfeng.

What Li Yuntian asked Lei Ting to do was very simple, that is, to lead the way in front and take him to the gate of the palace gate, so that a lot of trouble could be avoided on the way, giving people the illusion that he was going to enter the palace to do something.

After explaining to Lei Ting, Li Yuntian was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, as if he was rushing to this utility room, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly pulled Lei Ting to hide behind a shelf in the corner.

Soon after, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a courtier's costume and a young woman in her twenties pushed the door open and slammed it shut.

"Baby, you're going to kill me." After closing the door, the middle-aged servant hugged the young woman tightly in his arms, kissed her head and face, and the monkey hurriedly pressed her on the table next to her and took off her clothes.

"Will the fruits in the yamen still use my family in the future?" The young woman reached out and pressed it on the middle-aged official's hand, stopped his movements, and asked delicately.

"Use, use, in the future, the fruit in the yamen will be packed by your family, come on baby, I'm in a hurry." The middle-aged official swept the young woman's hand away, panting and untying the young woman's belt.

"!" After hearing the conversation between the two, Li Yuntian couldn't help but be quite speechless, he didn't expect to meet two ** people inadvertently, and it also involved the use of power for personal gain.

Lei Ting's cheeks were flushed, she was a big girl who had not been out of the cabinet, where had she experienced such a ** scene, and there was a big man like Li Yuntian by her side, which really made her feel embarrassed and shy. One
