Of course, it is the kind of "white body" that is specially noted and added in parentheses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since you have gone down the mountain, you must go to the official department to cancel the leave.

As for the home...... That place, Yang Tianhong will have to get it back sooner or later.

......

The Ministry of Officials is one of the six departments in charge of the world by Da Chu. All matters related to the appointment and promotion of officials are the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials.

Five guards and servants Hua Jun took their luggage and horses, and found a secluded teahouse nearby to sit and wait. Yang Tianhong took the official documents used to prove his identity, and walked into the red lacquered gate of the ministry alone.

Menzi is a middle-aged man over forty years old with a flattering smile on his face at any time. A set of black and red low-class official uniforms is worn on the body, which is not majestic at all, but gives people an inexplicable sense of joy as a harlequin on the stage.

He seems to be naturally familiar with everyone. There were several people in front of Yang Tianhong who needed to meet the chief officials of the ministry, and the men were all very attentive and greeted them one by one, bringing everyone in with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and greeting them with a smile. It was as if the officials were his own home, and these people were relatives and friends who came to visit.

Soon, it was Yang Tianhong's turn.

Menzi's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest, he looked at the name card handed over by Yang Tianhong, and his whole face almost smiled into a flower: "It turned out to be Lord Yang, Jiu Yang! Jiu Yang! The Supplement Hall of the Ministry of Officials is inside, and the third corner of the corridor turns left, please! Please come in!"

The two words "long admiration" made Yang Tianhong a little ridiculous. He deliberately put on a dull and serious face, and said coldly: "Why, have you heard my name before?

The smile on Menzi's face was still the same: "The hussar general is famous, and as his son, of course you are also a well-known hero. To tell you the truth, I admire your resignation for a few years. The word "long admiration" is definitely not an empty praise, but a real one. ”

Yang Tianhong was a little surprised.

Five years ago, not many people in Kyoto should know about his resignation. Emperor Shunming suppressed this matter in a very small circle, and his father had long since died, even among the nobles, not many people remembered him.

A guard at the door of the Ministry of Officials still remembers my name?

Menzi saw the doubts in Yang Tianhong's heart, and continued to smile: "In our business, being well-informed is the most important thing. Of course, there is one more important point, which is that the eyes are poisonous and the heart is black. Hehe, the so-called eye poison refers to the identity of the other party can be seen at a glance. The so-called black heart refers to being able to remember the news from a long time ago. Many things are just a few words, but you may be able to use them when. For example, Lord Yang, the matter of resignation five years ago was occasionally mentioned in the community, and I remember it, so now I recognize your appearance and know what you want to do when you come to the ministry. ”

After listening to Menzi's explanation, Yang Tianhong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly took half a step back, clasped his hands into fists, saluted, and said seriously: "I have been taught!"

Menzi waved his hand again and again: "Where! This is just my experience, how can I be taught? Lord Yang, you are too humble. ”

Yang Tianhong showed a smile on his face, casually took out a small jade bottle from the Qiankun bag, and handed it to Menzi.

"This is a Body Forging Pill, and it is useless to me. The ancients said: There is a teacher in every word. To be taught today, there must be a gift. Thank you very much. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Menzi to answer, Yang Tianhong turned around and walked into the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Officials, and walked in the direction that Menzi had pointed out.

Guiyuan Sect is far away from the world, and Mingfeng Mountain and the outside world are fundamentally two different worlds.

In the mountains, there are also people who are sophisticated, but they are far less obvious than in the world.

Menzi's words made Yang Tianhong regain the long-lost memory of the world that he had left for five years.

The word "teachable" is by no means an exaggeration of humility.

That forging pill was indeed a gift that Yang Tianhong sincerely used as a thanksgiving.

He reminded himself that although he had already built a foundation, although he had obtained the Five Elements Divine Body by chance, and although he had already been the focus of attention in the eyes of his elders, he was still just an ordinary person here, in the world, before he got a prominent status.

Menzi held the jade bottle in his hand and stared blankly at the direction where Yang Tianhong's figure disappeared in the distance.

After staying in a place like the Ministry of Officials for a long time, my knowledge is naturally extraordinary. Although Menzi had never seen the Body Forging Pill, he had also heard of such a wonderful effect. It is said that only wealthy families have this kind of elixir, not to mention the high price, but also the miraculous effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.

Taking a deep breath, Menzi put away the jade bottle, and made a deep gesture in the direction of Yang Tianhong's departure, muttering to himself with surprise and surprise.

"The son of the hussar general really made an extraordinary move. This young man, the family must be very rich. ”

......

Lu Hanming is the duty officer of the Ministry of Officials.

Most of the men who have entered the age of not being confused already have their own lives and goals. I also tend to regret and regret my past experiences. Lu Hanming is no exception, but in any case, a person like him, who was a high school jinshi more than ten years ago, was released to become a magistrate, and now he has been included in Beijing and has become a member of the ministry, the starting point and knowledge are far higher than ordinary people.

When Yang Tianhong walked into the hall, Lu Hanming was reading a copy of "The Legend of the Martial Arts".

Appearance is beautiful and ugly, and it plays a crucial role in people's first impression. The same is true for Yang Tianhong. Although Lu Hanming is past middle age, he is still in good health, with a wide official robe tied to his body, supported high by his broad and strong shoulders, without the usual obsession of sitting officials, his eyes are sharp, and he is full of spirit, giving people a sense of strength and health.

Lu Hanming does not like a lazy and sedentary life. Smelling the chickens and dancing, fighting the sword and singing, is a habit he has retained since he was a teenager. To be able to become a Beijing official of the Ministry of Officials, the grade is also higher than that of the county order in the past, but Lu Hanming still misses the past days. At the very least, they can contact the people as a county commander, know more about the people's suffering, and can do more tangible things for those people.

Putting down the book in his hand, Lu Hanming's sharp gaze fell on Yang Tianhong, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Yang Tianhong did not wear a formal official robe, but a civilian costume, which looked incompatible with the majestic officials and halls.

According to the "Great Chu Criminal Law", on formal occasions, whether officials meet their superiors or subordinates, they must dress properly.

The Ministry of Officials is not an ordinary Shuntianfu Yamen. It is impossible for ordinary people to come in, even if they are nobles with transcendent status, they must honestly obey the rules here. What's more, the name card submitted by Menzi before clearly reads: "Yang Tianhong, a loose official, returns to the Ministry of Officials to cancel his leave." ”

The world is as big as the Seven Kingdoms.

The officials of the seven countries must go to the official department to report their leave. According to the criminal law, the official must wear official robes and follow the necessary etiquette. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to the officials and disrespectful to the emperor.

Could it be that this young man in front of him is the queen of a certain distinguished noble? That's why he dares to be so profligate and arrogant?

Thinking of this, Lu Hanming's complexion suddenly became ugly.

He threw Yang Tianhong's name card aside, and asked in a cold and majestic voice: "What do you think is the place where the officials are? Why don't you wear official uniforms? Where do you put Your Majesty and the law?"

Yang Tianhong showed a wry smile on his face.

It's not that he did it on purpose, it's that he can only wear such civilian clothing. When he was cut off before, he was already a commoner. However, Emperor Shunming took pity on his deceased father, the hussar general, and left a ten-year covenant for himself. Therefore, on the documents of the ministry, there is still Yang Tianhong's name. Of course, this document is specially endorsed by the inner court of the palace and is only valid for ten years.

He calmed down, saluted again to Lu Hanming, who was full of cold faces, and said seriously: "I don't have an official position at present. As for the sale of fakes...... Please also check the relevant documents and read them to understand. ”

Lu Hanming is not a person who is blindly strict and does not know how to be flexible at all. Although he did not feel very good about Yang Tianhong, who was dressed as a civilian, he still called the official attaché and, according to Yang Tianhong's words, took the confidential documents with special marks from the treasury.

It bears a special stamp from the inner courtyard of the palace. Seeing this, Lu Hanming was secretly taken aback, and his attitude towards Yang Tianhong had changed.

By the time he finished reading the document, Lu Hanming's indifference was gone, and his gaze became very gentle.

"It turns out that you are the late hussar general Yang Jing, the eldest son of Lord Yang. ”

Lu Hanming walked down from the top of the hall, came to Yang Tianhong, and with a smile, pointed to the chair placed on the side: "I didn't know your identity before, so I was a little neglectful." Come on, serve tea!"

If it were an ordinary official visiting, Lu Hanming would not behave like this at all. However, the hussar generals were so famous and successful that they still had a large number of admirers even in the vaunted civilian clique.

Lu Hanming is one of them.

Now, the son of the hussar general also makes Lu Hanming feel admired.

He picked up the confidential document that had been unsealed, and said with emotion: "If you hadn't come here to cancel the fake, I wouldn't have known that there was such a file in the warehouse." Twenty years ago, I was a high school junior. At that time, it was the time when the hussar generals won a great victory against the Northern Barbarians. Don't you know, at that time, the streets were full of cheers, the people were happy, countless people rushed to tell each other, and the temples around the country prayed to the heavens, thanking the hussar gods for my great Chu and pacifying the people. Even other Jinshi from the same high school as me have left articles praising the hussar general Shenwei. ”

Saying that, Lu Hanming turned his gaze to Yang Tianhong, which was full of gentleness and love: "I am willing to resign from my father's shadow, and I would rather regain the merit with my own strength, this courage alone is enough to show that you are the one who is brave and brave." Your father and I used to be officials in the same dynasty, and as an elder, you can call me uncle. ”

Yang Tianhong hurriedly stood up from his chair and bowed to Lu Hanming again.

The word "uncle" is not called in vain. Being willing to be an elder for someone means having to take care of someone for a lot of things. This is equivalent to taking the initiative to take irrelevant responsibilities on his body, if it were not for the worship and respect of the hussar general, Lu Hanming would not have said such a thing at all.

With a satisfied smile, Lu Hanming opened the document again and said seriously: "Virtuous nephew, there is still a crucial condition for your ten-year covenant with Your Majesty. That is, during this period, the cultivation realm must reach the fifth level of qi refining. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to obtain the official position that Your Majesty once promised, but you will also be charged with the crime of "bullying the king". ”

Five years ago, at the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Shunming promised: As long as Yang Tianhong reaches the fifth level of qi refining within ten years, he can be a martial lieutenant and lead a battalion alone. In addition, you can also be crowned from the six rank of the knight of the knight.

This is a reward in disguise, and it is also a kind of compensation for Emperor Shunming's unknown acquaintance who gave Yang Tianhong's uncle Yang Lian the position of Earl of Houshan, which caused Yang Tianhong to be abused for a long time.

But in any case, it is crucial to reach the fifth level of qi refining within ten years. Otherwise, there would be no rewards.

Yang Tianhong smiled and nodded, and said respectfully, "Please ask my uncle to let someone test my cultivation level for me." The stakes are very high, and Tianhong will never dare to deceive. ”

"Good!"

Lu Hanming summoned the attaché of the Ministry of Officials who was responsible for testing the strength of cultivation according to his words. The man pulled out a tray containing a fist-sized piece of clear crystal. Yang Tianhong gently landed the five fingers of his right hand on the surface of the spar, and secretly exerted his strength, and the inside of the originally transparent and white spar gradually released a soft and bright light that was incomparably red.

Using spars to test the strength of cultivation is a common practice of the seven countries in the world. This white hedron is widely distributed and is able to resonate wonderfully with the spiritual energy in the monk's body. As long as the detector's strength exceeds the fifth layer of Qi refining, the hedron will release a red brilliance. If it is below this level, the light will be orange or even dull.

Seeing the flickering red light inside the spar, the shock in Lu Hanming's heart also became particularly intense.

The confidential document is clear: five years ago, Emperor Shunming of Great Chu made a contract with Yang Tianhong. When he resigned, Yang Tianhong was only eleven years old. Now, five years have passed, and this son's skill cultivation has actually reached the fifth level of qi refining, which is half the time compared to the original agreement.

Sixteen years old, the fifth layer of qi refining.

Such a rapid cultivation speed can be called terrifying.

Throughout the Great Chu ...... No, looking at the whole world, how many people can do this at the age of sixteen?

At this moment, Lu Hanming decided that Yang Tianhong would definitely be able to successfully build a foundation in his lifetime.

To verify the practice, it is necessary to have more than three attachés of the official department, and at the same time the recognition is valid. Soon, a special document stamped with the seal of the ministry was handed to Yang Tianhong.

Watching Yang Tianhong put away the paperwork, Lu Hanming continued: "Virtuous nephew, the position of Zhongwu lieutenant is a martial position. Now, all military affairs are in the hands of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. Although His Majesty promised you to lead a battalion alone, the specific military affairs still had to be submitted to the East Palace by the officials and arranged by His Royal Highness the Great Prince. This is quite timely, and I will try to push it as much as possible. When you get home, don't be anxious, I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is news. ”

Yang Tianhong nodded in thanks. This is the extra care from the elders. That's right, it's one thing to receive an official position, it's another thing to make specific arrangements. If no one takes care of you, it's normal to sit at home for ten or eight years. This is the way things are in officialdom, if someone favors you, you can rise to prominence. If no one pays attention to it, even if you have an official position, you will still be excluded by everyone and have to sit on the cold bench to the side.

In the meantime, Lu Hanming personally sent Yang Tianhong out of the official hall.

When leaving, Lu Hanming held Yang Tianhong's hand vigorously and told him repeatedly.

"The hussar general is the god general of my Great Chu, as his son, you have such ability at a young age, and your father must be at ease under the Nine Springs. Your Majesty has taken care of you and cultivated you, and you can make some achievements to prove yourself and benefit the people. ”

Yang Tianhong only felt a shock all over his body, turned around, and bowed down to Lu Hanming: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, this is my duty, and I will never dare to forget it." ”

Back in the hall, Lu Hanming found that there was a small and delicate jade bottle on the desk where he was working.

With surprise and curiosity, Lu Hanming walked over quickly, picked up the jade bottle, and found a note pressed under the bottle.

It was Yang Tianhong's message.

"The little nephew went down the mountain in a hurry and didn't bring anything else, so he had to give this Yuan Qi Pill to his uncle, and please accept it with a smile. ”

The following is specially noted: "This Dan is refined by the little nephew himself, not for bribery, but for the uncle to remember the deceased father's feelings in the same dynasty, so it is a gift." ”

Lu Hanming held the jade bottle in one hand, looked at the note, and smiled with emotion.

......

Yangfu has been divided into outer and inner mansions.

The inner mansion is naturally inhabited by the Xu family and others.

The outer mansion is a place where Yang Tianhong specially explained when he left five years ago and gave a group of veterans to live.

It was almost noon, Yang Dashan was holding a bucket-sized sea bowl and squatting on the steps at the entrance of the outer mansion to eat.

The elixir given by the young master five years ago was really magical, Yang Dashan, who was over seventy years old, grew new teeth, his white hair became completely black, and the speed of running was not comparable to that of young people. In the eyes of the surrounding neighbors, Yang Dashan is obviously the best example of rejuvenation.

The people of Chu are fierce, and there are many people who collect weapons. Due to the fact that there were enemies on all sides, the laws of the state of Chu did not consider the people with weapons to be rebellions, and people with swords and shields could be seen on the streets at any time.

On the ground more than five meters away from Yang Dashan, there was a strong man with a round waist and big shoulders.

Outside the Yang Mansion, there is Pingkangfang.

Ma Wu is a tyrant in Pingkangfang. Casinos and loan sharks were the most lucrative businesses under his name, and he also raised dozens of big men to work as thugs.

Since you are a bully, you must look like a bully.

Yang Laosan is the best shaver in Pingkangfang, and he doesn't know which life he has cultivated the blessing, so he actually asked for a daughter-in-law who is like a flower and jade. The woman was inadvertently bumped into by Ma Wu, and the next day, there were a few guests who made trouble at Yang Laosan's shaving head, saying that Yang Laosan had cut his face with a razor, and the blood flowed down from the top of his head, dripping all over his body, and the red horn was very scary, and a large group of idlers and guests surrounded there, shouting for Yang Laosan to lose money. If not, Yang Laosan will be beaten to death.
