In the early morning of the next day, the carriage of the Ministry of Rites was waiting outside the Chaolai Inn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xiyun was meditating and practicing in the house, but no one went upstairs to urge him, and when he woke up from his meditation and went downstairs, the official of the Ministry of Rites who came to pick him up had already drunk a whole pot of tea in the inn.

There are other tea guests in the inn, seeing him go downstairs, they all looked at him, yesterday Zhang Xiyun's name has spread all over the imperial capital, and today there are even many people who come here, just to see the style of the champion of martial arts.

"This good-looking young man is the champion of the current dynasty?" said everyone in the inn.

"Sure enough, he is a hero and a young man, but just looking at it, he feels that he is different from those gentlemen in the imperial capital, and there is a world of difference. ”

"You look at the lord who came to the Ministry of Rites, and he waited in the inn for a full hour, but you didn't see any impatience at all......"

"I heard that it was Zhuang Yuanlang who entered the house to practice, but the lord of the Ministry of Rites didn't send anyone upstairs to urge ......."

When the official of the Ministry of Rites saw Zhang Xiyun go downstairs, he hurriedly got up to greet him, but he was relieved in his heart, if he waited any longer, then I am afraid he would have to order another pot of tea.

Although his official position is not high, if this champion is not Zhang Xiyun, even Pang Hong, as long as he has not yet faced the saint, he will not be considered to be in an official position, and he would have sent someone upstairs to urge.

It is rumored that this Zhang Xiyun was personally recommended by Lord An, not only Tianqiong walked, but also decided to enter the Qin Tianjian as an official.

Moreover, the champion of this dynasty is extremely talented, and he is already well known in the imperial capital, if he disturbs his practice, this official of the Ministry of Rites and Rites is afraid that he will not be able to afford it, so he finally decides to wait in the inn, and until the last moment, he will not urge.

The officials of Qin Tianjian held real power, but they could cut first and then play, and it was precisely because of this that they were feared by the courtiers of the Long Court.

"Yang Qi of the Ministry of Rites, I have seen Zhang Zhuangyuan. ”

Zhang Xiyun hurriedly replied: "I have seen Lord Yang, I have waited for a long time, and I ask for forgiveness for the mistake of neglect." ”

"What did Zhuangyuanlang say, in the future, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, Zhang Zhuangyuan doesn't need to be so polite. Yang Qi replied.

"I didn't know that Lord Yang would come so early, Lord Yang should have someone go upstairs to wake me up. Zhang Xiyun pretended to blame.

Yang Qi smiled: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, it's still too early when I came, the Ministry of Rites has been busy recently, and now I can drink tea slowly in the inn, which is already a blessing for the champion." ”

Zhang Xiyun smiled when he heard this, and glanced at the place where Yang Qi was sitting before, the teapot lid was placed on the table, and there was no tea in the teapot, and he said in his heart that Lord Yang had really been waiting for him for a long time.

"It's not too early now, so we ......?" Yang Qi asked.

Zhang Xiyun looked at the lobby of the inn, but did not see Yan Jiujun's figure, retracted his gaze and smiled: "Then it will bother Lord Yang." ”

The two walked out of the inn with a smile and a smile, and the carriage was gone.

The Imperial City of Imperial Capital is the center of power on the five continents and is also regarded as a symbol of the Dragon Court.

It is rumored that the entire imperial city has 9,999 palaces, and the ground is paved with good white jade, until the carriage drives into the imperial city, Zhang Xiyun knows that the rumors are true, and the imperial city of the imperial capital is magnificent, which can be called the most in the world.

The most important and the most magnificent of the Imperial City of the Han Dynasty is the "Three Palaces and Four Gates", which is rumored to have the meaning of the Han Gaozu metaphor that the three sects and four gates are under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Court.

The gate where the carriage drove into belonged to the main gate of the four gates, the 'Noon Gate', in addition to the Dongsheng Gate, the West Qianmen, and the Shenwu Gate.

And the so-called three halls are Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, and Qinghe Palace.

Weiyang Hall is the first of the three halls, and it is also the main hall of the upper dynasty on weekdays, in front of the side of the other two halls, in the center of the entire imperial city.

Just entered the imperial city, the first thing Zhang Xiyun saw was the majestic Weiyang Palace, the golden glazed tile roof, the towering dragon golden laurel trees on both sides, the delicate carved white jade railings, the endless carved beams and paintings, although there is a curling fog to cover, but also vaguely visible on the eaves of the two flying dragons that seem to want to break free, goodbye to the carved cloud dragon and phoenix on the pillar, Pan Longzhu props up the main hall.

However, this Weiyang Hall is not where Zhang Xiyun can go now, and the martial arts are carried out in the Qinghe Palace.

The carriage was speeding in the imperial city, Zhang Xiyun raised the curtain of the carriage, looking at the scenery of the imperial city, and couldn't help but feel excited.

After about a pillar of incense, they arrived at the long road outside the Qinghe Palace.

"It is not feasible to have carriages and horses on the long road, and I asked Zhang Zhuangyuan to walk with me to the Qinghe Palace. Yang Qi said.

Zhang Xiyun nodded, he didn't know the rules of the palace, so he could only obey Yang Qi's arrangement.

He stepped out of the carriage and looked up, although the Qinghe Hall was not as majestic as the Weiyang Palace, it was still better than countless palaces.

I saw that the top of the hall is full of yellow glazed tiles, there is a gilded treasure top in the middle, the pillar of the hall is round, the dragon body is carved between the two pillars, the dragon head pokes out of the eaves, the dragon tail goes straight into the hall, the hall body corridor pillar is square, there is the head of the spitting water under the pillar, and the yellow glazed tile inlaid with green trimming edge of the top cover.

Qinghe Hall is a red vermilion lacquer gate, the top is hung with a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances inscribed 'Qinghe Palace' three big characters.

Under the blue, the golden-roofed red door of this Qinghe Hall is even more magnificent.

This long road is half as long as Xuanwu Street in Beishi, in addition to Zhang Xiyun and the others, there are also others who are heading towards the Qinghe Palace, most of them are Longting courtiers wearing official robes, and there are Wuju people who come to face the saint as usual.

Zhang Xiyun looked around, but did not see Fang Ran and the others, so he also withdrew his gaze and walked on the long road with peace of mind.

The officials on the long road looked at him from time to time, as if they were looking at him.

"Lord Fang, that person is the champion of martial arts in today's dynasty. ”

"Oh?" someone looked at him again, "Today's champion is still young last year......"

"Don't look at his age, but he is a real demon, in a few years, I'm afraid it will be another ...... of disaster"

Someone sneered and said: "Leaving the disaster? It seems that such variables as leaving the disaster are so easy to encounter, I don't believe that this martial arts champion is really so amazing!"

"When he left the dynasty and entered the court, many people said that he was just a tuberculosis ghost, you look at it now, don't say that the emperor's capital, it is the entire five continents, how many people dare to scold him for being a tuberculosis ghost to his face?"

Everyone was speechless, this is indeed an old thing, it is said that it was the official department who scolded the person who was a tuberculosis ghost, and more than ten years ago, the official department of the year had already returned to his hometown, but he was afraid that staying in the imperial capital would hinder the eyes of the emperor.

There is another person on the long road, and his official uniform is obviously different from everyone else, I am afraid that he is a big man.

"Lord Shangshu, the person who walked with Yang Qi in front of me is Zhang Xiyun. "There was humanity beside him.

This person is Huang Xu, the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xiyun in front of him, and said coldly: "The person recruited by Qin Tianjian is just not ...... I can't see."

Another man stepped forward, and he was side by side with the Ministry of Works.

"It was Zuo Jiang who went to deliver the decree yesterday, so don't be careless. ”

This voice is vicissitudes and cold, and the owner of the voice is Chen Ping, the current secretary of the ministry.

"Zuo Jiang, is it his own intention, or is it His Majesty's intention?"

Chen Ping turned his head, looked at Huang Xu and asked, "Is there a difference?"

Without waiting for Huang Xuan to answer, he continued: "Your Majesty wants him to go, that is, Your Majesty values this person, and Zuo Jiang is also happy to be a favor......

"If Zuo Jiang wants to go by himself, it also shows that His Majesty values this person, Zuo Jiang wants to leave a cause and effect, and he can be a favor. ”

Huang Xu's brows tightened, and he asked as he walked: "If it is really as you said, will I wait and watch Qin Tianjian ......?"

Chen Ping sneered: "If you want to completely bring down Qin Tianjian, I'm afraid it won't work just against our champion, the two most important people in Qin Tianjian, Nan Ruoan and An Luping, as long as they are there, Qin Tianjian will not fall......"

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, but he would rather risk being blamed, that is, he would not let Nan Ruoan resign from the prison......" Huang Xuan frowned.

"I have long felt that the Qin Heavenly Prison must have other purposes, not just to supervise the six departments and thoroughly investigate the forbidden Dan ......," Chen Ping continued, "But I have already started to secretly investigate the Qin Heavenly Prison a few years ago, and I have even looked through many historical records of the Dragon Court, but I still don't know what reason the Qin Heavenly Prison was established back then......

Huang Xuan had nothing to say for a while, and only said after a while: "I heard that Qin Tianjian's winter official Zheng Qin Yishan is now in Chishan City, and he even concealed his identity, but I haven't been able to find out the reason why he went to Chishan City. ”

"Qin Tianjian is in the imperial capital for one day, we are like a thorn in the back, Zuo Jiang himself also has many ulterior secrets, he just wants to control Zhang Xiyun......"

Huang Xu's face was gloomy, and he said: "After all these years, Qin Tianjian has added another official, the most terrifying thing is that this person has a deep background and is talented and evil, if he is not controlled, he will become a big trouble sooner or later." ”

"Then prepare a generous gift for him......"

The two said as they walked that they were almost outside the Qinghe Palace, and they didn't dare to continue talking about this, for fear that they would be heard by the eunuchs around the Han Emperor.

Zhang Xiyun had arrived outside the Qinghe Hall at this time, and there were also Fang Ran's brothers and sisters waiting outside the hall, and Jiang Qi was also beside him.

"Brother Zhang. Fang Ran also saw him, and the three of them walked towards him.

"When Zhang Zhuangyuan met his classmates, he had to chat a few words, so I said goodbye first. Yang Qi said.

They passed the martial arts together, and they can be regarded as classmates who study hard together as the world says, and Yang Qi's statement is not wrong.

"It's been hard work along the way, Lord Yang. Zhang Xiyun thanked Yang Qi and said goodbye to him again.

Yang Qi left, Fang Ran and the three of them walked to his side, and Fang Ran spoke: "Since yesterday, Brother Zhang is afraid that he has become the focus of idle talk in the entire Imperial Capital City, so he is not majestic. ”

Zhang Xiyun smiled lightly: "Don't want this majesty." ”

Jiang Qi behind Fang Ran inevitably slandered "hypocrisy", but he didn't dare to say so to his face.

At this time, Pang Hong and He Chang came together, but they didn't come, they just nodded to them from a distance, and their eyes were a little complicated.

"By the way, Brother Zhang has entered the Qin Heavenly Prison, I don't know what to do?" Fang Ran smiled, "I am extremely curious about the Qin Heavenly Prison, I only heard that there are transcendent things in the Imperial Capital City, but I don't know what kind of errand there are other things besides thoroughly investigating the Forbidden Dan case?"

"This ......" Zhang Xiyun was dumbfounded for a while, as if even he didn't know what Qin Tianjian had to do in addition to thoroughly investigating the Ban Dan case.

But from the old words of Nan, Zhang Xiyun judged that Qin Tianjian must have more important things to do, but he is not qualified to know now.

"Brother Zhang, you just entered the Qin Heavenly Prison and asked you to investigate the Ban Dan case, right?" Fang Ran couldn't help but hesitate when he saw that he didn't answer.

Zhang Xiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fang, you guessed it right this time, after meeting the saint today, I will set off for Chishan City tomorrow to ......."

Fang Ran and the three of them were all taken aback, and said, "Although Brother Zhang, you have great strength, but after all, you are only a mortal cultivator, how could you let you go to investigate the Forbidden Dan case so quickly?"

"Dan Chengtian is full of crazy people, when it comes to the forbidden Dan case, the Dan King will inevitably be dispatched, Qin Tianjian does this, it really seems that he doesn't take human life seriously......" Fang Yu also thought the same.

"It's not me who is here to investigate. Zhang Xiyun explained, "As the supervisor of the five senses, my duty is to assist the five senses in handling cases. ”

Only then did the Fang Ran brothers and sisters suddenly realize that if they were only co-organisers, the danger would naturally be much smaller.

Fang Ran sneered and said, "It seems that you Qin Tianjian really only recognize the Forbidden Pill, either to thoroughly investigate the Forbidden Pill, or to assist in the thorough investigation of the Forbidden Pill......"

Zhang Xiyun was about to explain, but he sighed again and retracted his words, thinking that after they had been officials for a long time, they would naturally know that this was not the case, otherwise how could there be so many people in the Dragon Court who were afraid of Qin Tianjian.

"It's noon. ”

A sharp voice sounded, coming from the Qinghe Palace, Xu is a eunuch, but his cultivation is probably also to the immortal road, otherwise this shout will not be like ringing in everyone's hearts.

"The ministers entered the hall. ”

The Wuju people have not really counted the ministers yet, so this is not them, but the six Shangshu and the rest of the important ministers of the Dragon Court who are waiting outside the Qinghe Palace.

At this time, Zhang Xiyun suddenly felt a chill behind him, and when he was about to look back, two tall men in official robes walked past him.

"It's so strong!" Zhang Xiyun said secretly, the two people walking by beside him brought him a great sense of oppression, and his cultivation was probably already in the realm of the Nine Palaces of the Immortal Road!

The two men didn't look at him, their eyes stared straight ahead, their eyes glowing with cold.

"The Ministry of Industry is still in the book!"

"Chen Ping, the secretary of the ministry!"

Fang Ran whispered the identities of those two to everyone.

Zhang Xiyun frowned, these two people seemed to be a little hostile to him, he believed that the chill he suddenly felt just now came from the gaze of these two people!

"What Deputy Yan Jian said is really good, there are indeed people in this imperial capital who don't welcome me......

He sighed in his heart, these two people are far from being able to compete with him now in any aspect, but he is afraid that he has somehow become a thorn in their side.

Zhang Xiyun slandered: "I have always wanted to be kind to others, but until I was hit by an arrow in the knee, no, it was countless arrows......"

"Wuju people enter the hall!"

The sharp voice sounded again, and the twenty martial artists who were waiting outside the Qinghe Hall were finally about to enter the temple to face the saint. (To be continued.) )
