From the East Fourth Archway to the Imperial City, there are many shops on the way.

At this time, the sky is faintly bright, and when it is almost time, there are already many early shops that have begun to open for business.

Immediately, I saw an official man wearing a red unicorn costume holding the crown hat on his head with one hand and running down the street.

The neighbors, and the traders who get up before dawn and start their business, they all know who this is, and this is also a scene of this street.

The official man wearing an official uniform and a black veil on his head will never swagger through the street in the market, and as an official master, he will inevitably sit in a sedan chair.

But this young official is a strange man, every morning you can see him pacing the street gracefully, waving his hand to greet them in a friendly manner with the people who run the lowly business, and sometimes he will spend a few pennies to sit on the bench next to the stall and drink a bowl of wontons.

is obviously a heavenly figure, but it seems to have fallen into the world, this sense of contrast comes to a very inexplicable feeling, and I inexplicably feel that this official is a good official.

Usually when I see those officials traveling, even if no one beats the gong and drum and holds the sign of avoidance, at least there should be a small square sedan chair, and people sit in it and sway.

Even if you want to do something or buy something, you will instruct those little servants who are waiting to be sent to go there, how can you personally come forward to deal with these people, this is called official etiquette.

And this one can get along with them easily, never put on a show, and get close to them when he looks at them.

Some stall owners even shouted at the top of their voices: "My lord, you run slowly, but don't fall." ”

Xia Yuan, who didn't pay attention to official etiquette, didn't have time to respond, even if he waved his hand casually, even if he said hello, he didn't know what an official ceremony was.

Although he has betrayed the class in this life, he just hired some subordinates to covet a comfortable life, and he did not have any contempt for these people because of the difference in class.

Everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, who can be more noble than whom?

At this time, he took a step and ran wildly on the street, he even threw aside the so-called official etiquette, and in a trance there was a feeling of returning to his previous life as a social animal, at this time there were five minutes left to clock in to work, and he would be deducted two hundred if he was late.

Didn't dare to stop all the way to Chengtianmen, Xia Yuan was dressed up, took a few breaths of air before stepping in, and waited until he reached the noon gate of the Forbidden City, at this time the vermilion gate was still closed.

However, a group of court dignitaries have arrived, and almost all the Hanlin have gathered here, waiting to enter the palace.

Luckily, not late.

Those bigwigs of the imperial court, or the head of the Hanlin Academy, all stand in front of the Hanlin scholars, and those with low grades and shallow qualifications like Xia Yuan are of course standing at the back, standing with those compilers and editors, or scholars.

Seeing him, Li Tingxiang stepped forward and bowed, "Xia Guan has seen Xia Xima." ”

After seeing the ceremony, he looked at Xia Yuan again, "I haven't seen you for many days, and Brother Xia feels that Brother Xia seems to be a lot haggard." ”

Xia Yuan was stunned and instinctively touched his cheeks, "Am I haggard?" ”

"I look a lot haggard."

Xia Yuan bowed his head thoughtfully when he heard this, he didn't know what the reason was, it was possible that he was tired from running all the way, and it was more likely that in the past few months, Xiao Chuzi had learned ventriloquism

The color is the poison that pierces the intestines, and the color is the steel knife that scrapes the bones.

Silently reminding himself.

He decided to reduce the number of times in the future, once every two days.

Of course, no matter how haggard it is, the scene is in place.

So Xia Yuan Zhengse said: "As a subordinate official of the prince in the Zhan Mansion, he is busy every day, and he has to worry about the prince's studies, and it is normal to be haggard." ”

Li Tingxiang's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "But the last time Brother Foolish asked you, Brother Xia's answer was clearly that he was very comfortable staying in Zhan Shifu, and he had nothing to do all day, so he was idle and panicked." ”

"Oh." Xia Yuan's face did not change, "It was not busy at that time, and it was only in the past two months that I have been busy." ”

As he spoke, the scarlet door creaked open.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and straightened their clothes, led by the cabinet minister, and everyone rushed in through the palace gate on the side.

Xia Yuan silently calculated the time, feeling that this time it was a little later than last month's feast, about half an hour later.

Last time, I started to enter the palace as soon as I arrived, that is, it was five o'clock in the morning, and this time it may be five thirty or five forty.

Enter along the noon gate, turn right and pass through the left gate, and you will see the building complex where the Wenhua Hall is located.

Magnificent and magnificent, giving people a sense of majesty and majesty, you can see it as soon as you enter the Zuoshun Gate, and if you look back along this building, you can faintly see a blue-green tile building complex behind the oblique back.

There is the East Palace, the Wenhua Hall is the place where the crown prince views the government, and Zhu Houzhao's lecture will also be held here on weekdays, but it is not in the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, not even in the hall.

The main hall Wenhua Palace, the apse is the main hall, the two halls are on both sides of the corridor, or called the corridor, Zhu Houzhao usually sits in the corridor to attend classes.

Classes in the hallway...... In later generations, many classmates have enjoyed the treatment of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Youzhu had already entered the Wenhua Palace, sat down on the first place, his face was long, and he was not very happy when he looked at it, not only that, but his face was full of tiredness and exhaustion, and he was tossed for half a night last night, which was really difficult to handle.

What's even more infuriating is that the two goods actually said that they would not go back, and they had to stay in this palace, saying that it was safe here.

And Zhu Houzhao was already sitting next to him, constantly rubbing his eyes with his hands, looking at it in a daze, although he was not tossed last night, but he didn't sleep very peacefully, this morning for this month, he was shouted by the eunuchs in the East Palace before dawn.

Seeing his own father enter the palace, he couldn't hold back half of his energy, and rubbed his eyes by himself.

Zhu Houzhao was tired, and Emperor Hongzhi was even more sleepy, so he sat on the chair silently, and waited until a group of ministers brought Hanlin fish into the hall, and then he cheered up a little and straightened his waist to accept everyone's worship.

After saluting the emperor and the crown prince who were seated in the palace, they then stood in their respective ranks.

With extremely sour eyes, Zhu Youzhu said faintly: "I really didn't sleep much last night, I'm afraid I only slept for more than an hour, I thought I would send someone to the noon gate to tell Zhiqing to wait for the postponement of this month's lecture, and I felt that something was wrong, so I came to tell you in person, this is the end of today's month's speech, and I will do it another day."

Looking at the ministers who were looking at each other, Emperor Hongzhi sighed faintly in his heart, he didn't want to delay, but he really couldn't resist, and now his eyelids are fighting.

Not to mention that this sutra feast is a lecture, and one by one Hanlin scholars will explain the four books and five classics one by one.

These things are long and boring, and if they were fine on weekdays, but today he felt that he couldn't hold on, and he would definitely fall asleep.

And if you fall asleep in the monthly talk, you will lose your monarchy, what will these ministers think?

So let's postpone it.

"There should be some people among the Qingqing who live in Xicheng, last night, I don't know if anyone heard the movement of the Shouning Marquis Mansion?"

Shouning Hou Mansion?

Hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao, who was rubbing his eyes, suddenly became energetic.

At this time, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up and said with a calm face: "Your Majesty, the old minister lives in Xicheng, and he sleeps lightly when he is old, and he seems to have faintly heard the sound of gongs and drums last night, but he thought he was dreaming and didn't take it seriously, I don't know if this is a movement from the Shouning Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Not bad."

Zhu Youzhu nodded slightly, and continued: "Last night, a group of thieves took advantage of the night to sneak into the Shouning Marquis's mansion, looting the goods and leaving, Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo were humiliated, and entered the palace overnight to see them.
