Chapter 1221: Golden Horse Gate Waiting for Edict
On the way back to Chang'an City, Zhang Xuezhou met a little eunuch summoned by the palace.
This made him hitchhike back to Chang'an City.
After some clichΓ©s, Zhang Xuezhou had a general understanding of the matter.
Compared with his search for a chance encounter outside Chang'an City, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was not bad to be summoned by the new emperor.
Kong Zhong and the others saw the new emperor more smoothly than Zhang Xuezhou imagined.
He originally just tried it, but he didn't expect that Kong Zhong was really capable and could meet the new emperor directly.
Kong Zhong has this kind of ability, but Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have this kind of ability.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou entered the palace several times while lying down, he knew the general layout of the palace area, but he did not have the permission to enter Sima Gate, let alone reach Weiyang Palace.
Only when the new emperor passed the edict, Zhang Xuezhou was qualified to officially enter this area.
In the sound of the carriage running, it was already midnight when we arrived at the palace area, that is, around nineteen o'clock.
By this time it was already dark, and the snowflakes were falling again.
Zhang Xuezhou's head hung down for a while, and when he looked up, he was already a few points old.
He got out of the carriage and followed behind the hurried little eunuch, and when he passed through the two corridors and stepped through an extremely wide square, Zhang Xuezhou had already stepped into the Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the East Sima Gate Bus Sima Ling Dongfang Shuo has been brought!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed!"
Weiyang Palace is not only a large hall, but also a side hall and a small hall, and there are courtyard areas in these buildings.
When Zhang Xuezhou arrived, the new emperor was holding a sword and swinging it slowly.
It can be seen that the new emperor has some difficulty dancing the sword, and he is panting when he collects the sword.
If he walked the rivers and lakes with this kind of swordsmanship, Zhang Xuezhou was sure that the new emperor would be very fast.
He glanced at it, and when the little eunuch finished panting and reporting, Zhang Xuezhou also saluted.
"Okay, you Dongfang Shuo, you are not a small official!"
Xindi was not relieved because Zhang Xuezhou bowed and saluted, as long as he thought of this guy's nonsense, Xindi felt that he was congested.
Although Kong Zhong and others brought benefits to him by mistake, Zhang Xuezhou's atmosphere must be killed, otherwise I don't know if there will be any disasters in the future.
Ordinary petty officials really don't have anything to do with this, after all, petty officials have few contacts, and they can't make rumors if they want to.
But Zhang Xuezhou has been in and out of Anle Palace for a long time, and if his mouth is not scored, he will not regret taking the medicine when he is cleaned up by Anle Palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged," Zhang Xuezhou shouted.
"Wronged?"
Before the new emperor reprimanded, Zhang Xuezhou called Qu.
The new emperor swept his eyes, only to feel that Zhang Xuezhou's twenty-year-old face was devastating, almost like a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old person, which made the evil breath in his heart stagnate.
"What have you wronged?" Xindi asked.
"The minister took Zixu as an example, and wanted to do the thing of Zixu's loyalty to the king, and show his talent to the court, but unexpectedly fell into the martial arts position of Sima Ling at the city gate" Zhang Xuezhou sighed: "The minister is not only difficult to give full play to his talents, but also wastes time running around every day for these six hundred stones, and now he is seriously ill, and the minister feels wronged!" β
"This official ......"
"This official can't give full play to the talents of the minister," Zhang Xuezhou said: "If Your Majesty is not willing to reuse me, just let me go home, I don't want to earn this 600 stone in vain." β
"Oh, what talent do you have?" Xindi said with interest.
"Chen began to read at the age of thirteen, learned "poems" and "books" at the age of sixteen, went to school to astronomy, and went to study geography, and ...... at the age of nineteen"
"Wait, you're reading that book that didn't exist, right?"
Xindi felt that Zhang Xuezhou's talent should be bragging, and even dared to brag naked in front of him, which was not to put the ability of the characters in the story on his head.
If it weren't for the fact that the new emperor had read through the false biography written by the other party, he would really have believed the other party's evil.
"Your Majesty, the minister and Zixu are the same, we all have a heart to serve the king" Zhang Xuezhou shouted: "We are loyal to the monarch for a lifetime, without the slightest distraction, we will follow Your Majesty in the court in this life!" β
"Loyal!"
Zhang Xuezhou boasted a set of cowhides, but Zhang Xuezhou mentioned the most important one of the new emperor's employment standards.
The new emperor did not expect any ungodly talents from young officials, but he did need young officials to be of the same heart as him, and he also needed the other party to contribute their loyalty.
This is also the only advantage that young officials have over the elderly.
If you can't see this advantage of yourself, and try in vain to rely on other talents that are far inferior to high-level officials, it will indeed be difficult to get into the eyes of the new emperor.
This is not only Emperor Jing's advice, even if it is the ancestor who founded the Han Dynasty, the standard of the other party's employment is also the word 'loyalty'.
Gaozu raised troops in Pei County, and most of the famous generals who eventually followed Gaozu to fight the world came from Pei County.
This is not a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in Xiaopei County, it is completely instilled by massive resources.
Even if the qualifications are poor, these people have their own brilliance in the end.
What the corresponding emperor values is not the ability of the moment, but the character that is enough to rest assured.
Suddenly hearing Zhang Xuezhou say that he was loyal, the new emperor's heart couldn't help but shake, only to feel that the previous evil spirit had subsided without a trace.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have Zixu's talent, but with the other party's loyalty, Xindi feels that it is enough.
The new emperor has always been willing to cultivate loyal officials, and he also likes officials who are loyal to him.
Of course, this guy has a big problem with his body, and Xindi doesn't know how long the other party's loyalty will last.
This made the new emperor hesitate a little.
He likes loyalty, but needs a lasting loyalty.
If Zhang Xuezhou is loyal for a few days and burps, he feels that the period for maintaining this loyalty is a little too short.
"Dongfang Shuo, how is your health?"
It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou finished boasting that the new emperor asked about this most concerned question.
"My body ...... I met today, and I said that the minister can live to be a hundred years old," Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest and said.
Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to exaggerate how miserable his body was in front of the new emperor, and took the opportunity to ask for some cheapness, but this thought was just in his head, and Zhang Xuezhou forced it back.
Earning cheap can be earned later, and his current task is to change positions, and it is best to seek the addition of "giving things to the matter".
If you want to achieve your goal, you can't sell miserably and ask for a reward, and even show that you are competent for the position.
This made Zhang Xuezhou pat his chest hard, indicating that he was very capable of staying up and would definitely live for a long time.
"But I heard that you were rescued in Anle Palace for more than ten days?" Xindi was suspicious.
"The rescue was successful" Zhang Xuezhou said: "The minister can now walk, jump, write, draw, and box......"
"Forget it, don't demonstrate!"
Watching Zhang Xuezhou punch halfway, Xindi felt that Zhang Xuezhou's level went out to explore the rivers and lakes, and the biography could only be written to the fifth part.
"You're really well?" Xindi reconfirmed.
"There may be a little bit of a problem, but the minister is not afraid" Zhang Xuezhou said: "The minister is just difficult to bear the daily hard work, and he is not qualified for the position of bus Sima Ling, and he wants to ask for a civil job to contribute to the court!" β
"Civilian, oh, civilian, it's fine!"
Zhang Xuezhou's wish is very small.
For Xindi, it's just a gesture.
"This guy used to run a business in a vicious country, and he fished out the secret book of the full moon scimitar, I thought he was good at martial arts, but I didn't expect to be a civilian!"
Xindi's arrangement is undoubtedly a bit off.
But this is also his previous understanding of Zhang Xuezhou, which led to Zhang Xuezhou taking over the military position of a bus Sima Ling when he first entered the imperial court.
He thought about it for a moment in his heart, and then he had already found a clerical pit for Zhang Xuezhou to support the elderly.
"I can give you the position of Golden Horse Gate Bachelor," the new emperor said with a smile: "But to get this position, you need to be assessed, you have to answer a question, and you can take up the post if you pass the question!" β
"No problem!"
Zhang Xuezhou should take a bite.
He only felt that the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty was so bad that he could become an official as long as he answered a question from the emperor.
The bureaucratic system is very backward and bad, and there is no need to make meritorious contributions and write papers in reality, but this is really friendly to Zhang Xuezhou.
What he is best at the moment is not force, but cognitive and verbal abilities.
