Chapter 26: Fork Aiqing out!
'Hello, please defeat the poetry of the queen of poetry! ’
The sleeping man opened a pair of peach blossom eyes, revealing the eyes of a knife dog, and then rolled up the quilt, covered himself with his head and head, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the sky was bright.
The courtiers were already waiting outside the palace gate, dressing each other, grooming, and grooming.
After one courtier was tidying up, he asked the other courtier, "Lord Chen, what do you think of me?" ”
The boy who asked Master Chen to carefully check it for him: "The official hat is right, the clothes are not wrinkled, the shirt is not dirty, the shoes are not muddy, and the waist buckle is in the center, yes, they are all neat." Lord Zhou, can you also take a look for me? ”
"It sees." This is called Lord Zhou's courtier, and he hurriedly and meticulously helps him look at it.
After reading it and confirming that it was correct, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both relaxed.
This scene was repeated every day in the morning, and it is the same today.
After Wu Dingbang, like the other courtiers, checked it and waited patiently.
With the chanting eunuch announced: "Ascend to the court, the ministers will meet you." ”
The ministers straightened their backs and entered the palace gate in a procession.
At this moment, a minister was late, and he had an accident halfway and arrived at the last minute.
The rest of the courtiers looked at him with sympathy.
The minister hurriedly inserted himself into the queue, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief while quickly tidying up his appearance.
He whispered with a sad face and begged his colleagues in front of him to wait if they could block him, and he still wanted to make a face.
The person in front replied in a low voice: "Lord Lin, I will do my best, but you also know that Long Live Lord he ......" eye poison!
This Lord Lin is also a capable person, and after saying thank you in a low voice, he continued to tidy up his clothes with excellent psychological quality and straightened all the way.
When I arrived in front of the main hall, I just finished straightening it, stuffed the sweaty handkerchief into my sleeve, and followed the ministers to salute in unison:
"See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
When I knelt down, I looked down and saw that it was broken, and there was a foot of mud leaking!
Wei Chi Gong sat on the throne of the palace and said downward: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
The ministers in the palace thanked them and stood up worriedly;
The guards outside the hall were eyeing each other and waiting for him.
The most stressful moment of the daily pilgrimage meeting has arrived!
When the eunuch announced that he had a book to start playing and no book to retire from the court, Lord Lin shrunk himself into a ball, hid behind the minister in front, and tried his best to hide his muddy shoes under his robe, and lamented in his heart why the adults in front of him didn't gain a little fat.
Wei Chigong sat on a high place, taking in all the movements below, and after sweeping around, his eyes fell on a certain place.
He said slowly: "Come on, fork Lin Aiqing out." Then he picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
The guards outside the hall had already prepared, and when they heard the rumors, they entered the hall like the wind, and dragged people out with one left and one right.
Master Lin was shocked, and struggled to take out the recital book from his arms: "Long live Lord, the minister has a performance today, please be forgiving!" ”
"Huh?" Wei Chigong paused to drink tea, and his eyes fell back on Lord Lin: "In this way, then be tolerant of one or two......"
The guards pause.
Hope appeared in Lord Lin's eyes, and he wanted to thank him.
The rest of the courtiers were amazed, could there be a turnaround?
Wei Chigong put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "Leave the book, and the people will go out!" ”
The courtiers put their minds at ease, long live the lord is still the long live lord, huh, I haven't been forked out, I passed this pass today!
This scene was played out once in a long time, and the courtiers were used to it.
For the sake of the country, Wei Chigong can tolerate the crooked and cracked jujubes of the courtiers, but the appearance cannot be messed up at all, and the rituals in front of the palace are not good, so how can he govern the world.
In fact, since he ascended the throne, he has made a clear will, opened up his speech, selected talents, and did not judge people by their appearance.
No matter how ugly a person is, as long as he has the ability, he can be recommended, and the imperial examination should not turn away candidates because of physical illness and ugly appearance.
Although there was a famous minister Lian Musu in the previous dynasty, and the first township test was a famous example of understanding the Yuan with a lame body, the concept of "the appearance is an obstacle to admiration, and the physically disabled cannot be an official" of the scholar doctor for 1,800 years has still been handed down and has become a potential rule.
As soon as Wei Chigong ascended the throne, he directly broke this unspoken rule and sent a positive signal that Ren Xian could use it unprecedentedly.
Many talented people came from all directions, and in three years, they were very effective, and a large number of talents were selected for the imperial court.
The courtiers were incomprehensible to the emperor's eccentricities while feeling the emperor's grace.
Even if his face was half disfigured, looking at the vicious and hideous courtiers, the emperor could talk and laugh without changing his face, how could he not bear a little mud on the court clothes?
It's weird, it's weird, but it doesn't affect the Holy Saint!
At the same time, the sound of bangzi broke the silence of the Qunfang Palace.
Immediately afterwards, a palace maid knocked on the door: "Mama Li is here, please gather all the little masters!" ”
Hearing Mama Li's name, the show girls were suddenly frightened awake, and they began to freshen up and change their clothes in a panic.
After a period of chaos, wait for the large army of show girls to come to the self-cultivation hall to take a look.
Ooh! Someone came a long time ago and had a cordial conversation with the person next to him!
The show girls moved their eyes to the side again, and they all asked: When did Wu Li and Wang Shiyu get involved?
Wang Shiyu is a well-known talented woman in the capital, good at writing poetry, and Li Ruoyi is a handkerchief friend.
Zhou Yuzhen was also stunned, she wasted a lot of energy last night before she reintegrated into the elite group of show girls, how did Wu Li do it?
Li Ruoyi only looked at Wu Li fixedly, and the blue and black under her eyes revealed her uncalm heart.
Wang Shiyu saw everyone's misunderstood eyes, especially seeing that Li Ruoyi's eyes didn't distinguish between her, she was anxious.
No, she didn't, she took the initiative to get together with the surname Wu, and it has nothing to do with her.
And they didn't talk about pleasant things!!
But there was no chance to explain, with the arrival of everyone, Mama Li saw that the show girls were all in a state of mind, and there were all kinds of postures: some had not worn good clothes, some had half combed their hair, some resolutely refused to wear the clothes of the Shang Gong Bureau, and so on.
Mama Li suddenly darkened her face and started the day's homework with a reprimand.
Wang Shiyu was rarely not among the trainees, but she felt that she was being targeted, which was more uncomfortable than being reprimanded.
By whom? The surname Wu!
She woke up before dawn this morning, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and freshened up and went out to see.
Before he went out, he heard the sound of bangs.
Under the service of the maidservant, Wang Shiyu gritted her teeth, decisively put on the dress distributed by the Shanggong Bureau, and then knocked on Li Ruoyi's door, and only left when she heard the response.
Wang Shiyu thought that she would be the first to arrive, after all, she had already freshened up.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the meeting place, I found that there were already people waiting there.
Wang Shiyu's eyes were cold, it was her again-Wu Li!
She heard Mama Li and Lihua chatting about something, and they didn't know how long they had been chatting with Mama Li, and there was a trace of gentleness on the serious Mama Li's face.
