The next day, Zhang Xiyang got up late and didn't open his eyes until near noon. After more than a year of military service and war, and the life of crazy temptation to fight every day on the edge of death, this teenager's adrenaline surge felt exciting and also felt a little tired, and now in the environment of the palace, Zhang Xiyang was completely and completely relaxed, and slept very deeply.

Walked off the bed, stretched out, the small yellow door outside the hall heard the movement and put the food that was still exuding hot air on the table in the outer hall, and the washed clothes were sent in together, the broken hat was densely sewn by the palace maid with the same color of fine thread, almost the original crack could not be seen, the armor was put on a hanger specially placed on the armor, the faint smell of blood was still there, Zhang Xiyang smiled slightly, it could be seen that someone repaired his armor overnight last night and oiled it, sniffed it gently, he was a little obsessed with this taste, The taste of the battlefield is also the taste of a warrior, I knew that I had worn a full set of heavy armor, but then I shook my head, a complete set of heavy armor added up to almost seventy pounds, plus my own identity, all the way back to the capital from the frontier, not to mention the time, the bare horse had to run to death dozens of horses.

Breakfast was a big bowl of porridge, a few dishes of side dishes, steamed white steamed buns, and a plate of desserts.

Zhang Xiyang ate very comfortably and full, and when he rubbed his stomach, a palace maid brought fruit and tea, and he withdrew with a slight blessing, Zhang Xiyang blushed a little, where can you see such jasper in the army.

Momentarily embarrassed, he was bumped into by Chen Zhong, smiled jokingly, and made Zhang Xiyang blush.

"How about resting at night?"

"Back to Manager Chen, the rest is excellent. I don't know when the last general will be able to return to Su Shuai's place. ”

Chen Zhong smiled and asked, "So eager?" ”

"Back to the manager, when he came, Su Shuai had an order to return quickly, and he didn't dare to delay."

Chen Zhong sat down and looked at the dishes on the table and said, "In the end, it's a young man, who has a good appetite." ”

"Your Majesty has already issued an edict yesterday, and you will be on duty in the palace in the future, and the North Palace Guard Camp is being assigned to the East Palace Guard, have you forgotten?"

Zhang Xiyang was speechless for a while, and then he remembered and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Chen Zhong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you don't have to be so cautious, Your Majesty has always been generous to me who has made great meritorious contributions, and your stay in the palace last night is a great grace, so you should be good at doing errands." ”

Zhang Xiyang thanked him again and again.

"Okay, our family is also here this time for His Majesty's dictation."

When Zhang Xiyang heard this, the heart he had just put down immediately lifted it again and fell to the ground.

"King Zhao will go south on behalf of His Majesty and the crown prince to comfort the soldiers in front of him, and Zhang Xiyang will accompany him and accompany King Zhao to practice archery."

"Weichen commanded, thank you Your Majesty Longen."

"Well, get up."

Zhang Xiyang, who was instructed, packed up and prepared to leave the palace, although the emperor appointed himself as a guard camp, but he also had to arrange his own stay. Thinking that his little pawn could actually stay in the palace and wake up with someone waiting for breakfast, Zhang Xiyang quietly pinched himself hard, hey, it hurts, it's true.

Out of the palace gate, there are green trees and flowers for the sea, and the delicacy of the scattered is exquisite under the arrangement of everyone in the palace.

Yesterday was in a hurry, and now I have the heart to enjoy this scenery, the days in April are not so hot, and sometimes the wind blows and it is a little cool.

Naturally, it can't be Chen Zhong who led the way, the small yellow gate that was assigned lowered his head all the way, his steps were a little broken and a little anxious, and occasionally he would meet the big eunuch of the 24th Bureau of the Inner Palace, and the two of them bowed down and waited on the side of the road, Zhang Xiyang was a little curious, how did he keep his head down, and he knew that the person who came over was older than his own official?

Young people's acceptance of shameless questions is still quite high, and there are so many pretentious people who don't know how to pretend to understand, of course, they also feel uncomfortable and stubbornly find a topic.

Xiao Huangmen didn't look back, still lowered his head, but Zhang Xiyang heard a light laugh and was a little bitter: "Team Zhang is laughing, the villain is just the nine-grade little yellow gate just mentioned, and the one who can walk around in this palace is not higher than the villain." ”

Zhang Xiyang shouldn't have said what was good for a while, scratching his head, he always felt as if he was asking the other party's sore spot.

Xiao Huangmen said: "The palace is not as good as the army, what is needed here is to observe words and colors, and then to be able to and so on, but the vast majority of people will not be able to find a way to learn the words and colors in their lives." ”

Zhang Xiyang blurted out and asked: "Can this be said to be a confidant and a confidant in the art of war?" ”

Xiao Huangmen thought for a while, and then Yile said: "It's the extreme, you know yourself and your opponent." Captain Zhang is really quick-witted. ”

Zhang Xiyang hurriedly humbly said: "Where is the Huangmen reputation, and I don't know the surname of the Huangmen?" ”

Xiao Huangmen stopped suddenly, turned around and asked in surprise, "Team Zhang is asking what is the name of our family?" ”

This question made Zhang Xiyang a little confused, and nodded a little inexplicably.

"The little one is a eunuch, and it's just a small yellow door from the ninth grade."

Zhang Xiyang looked at Xiao Huangmen, who was looking at him, was silent for a moment, smiled slightly, hugged his fists and bowed down and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency." ”

"Honorific? Since he didn't dare to be, Xiao's original name was Lu Shuyu, and the palace was called Xiaoyuzi. ”

"Lieutenant Lu."

"Team Zhang."

"Please."

"Please."

Zhang Xiyang had a feeling that Lu Shuyu, who was leading the way in front, had a slightly straighter back.

Along the way, Lu Shuyu introduced some royal delicacies to him from time to time, and chatted with each other on the way when no one was around, Zhang Xiyang didn't know how much help a move in today's unconsciousness would be in the future.

Soon the two walked to the gate of the palace, and Lu Shuyu checked the information with the sergeant on duty and motioned for Zhang Xiyang to go with him.

Zhang Xiyang asked, "Why did the lieutenant go out of the palace too?" ”

Lu Shuyu said: "Team Zhang is entering Beijing for the first time, and many places are not familiar with it, and I am afraid that these places in the Ministry of War will not know, so the ancestor ordered us to take Team Zhang Zheng to go through it and get everything done." To tell the truth, we have been in the palace for almost ten years, and the ten palaces that have come out in the past ten years are still the blessing of the Zhang team, and the prosperity of this Beijing is far better than other places. ”

"Then there's Lieutenant Laurle." Zhang Xiyang said with a smile.

"It's okay."

The most prosperous in Pingjing City is the downtown of Jian'an Street, from the time when Pingjing City was still called Yedu, there are all kinds of shops on both sides, the middle road is one hundred and fifty meters wide, five miles long, but there is still a flow of people, the bustle in the noise is incomparable to any place.

Zhang Xiyang came from the southeast, although the three states in the southeast are heavy tax places and have always been prosperous, but after three years of fighting, no matter how beautiful the bowl is, it has leaked, and the people's livelihood in various places is worried about how to talk about prosperity? As for the northwest, except for the rice shop, the most prosperous place there is an iron shop, and the others are all lined up behind.

The big girl and the little daughter-in-law on the street ran out of the rouge shop with a smile and entered the ready-to-wear shop next to it, the little two of the restaurant stood at the door and courteously solicited customers, and when they met the rich old patrons, they immediately gave a sigh of hey and then showed a little exaggerated smile and then ran away and bowed over, the auspicious words in the mouth changed, there were always a few words that made people listen to the joy of the heart, and the children were playing in the sight of adults, and the flow of people on the street from time to time was touched and bumped into something that could not affect their fun at all, It is easier for small children to be happy, simple, and more likely to focus.

Walk out of the palace gate and walk through the 200-meter-long net street is the downtown of Jian'an Street, after walking this five miles to the left turn is the Yamen Fang, the bustle that is still boiling is gone after turning a corner, you can only listen to a sound.

The six yamen are all connected together, and there are separate alleys, and the Zheng people are too lazy to think of the name, so they directly call it the six alleys. The yamen of the Criminal Department and the Military Department were the last and second-to-last at the end of the alley. Compared with the coercion of the Ministry of Officials, the elegance of the Ministry of Rites, the busyness of the Ministry of Households, and the thunderbolt of the Ministry of Works, the Punishment Department even seems gloomy. The pure black tone is mysterious, and with the fact that almost no one in the criminal department came out of the dungeon alive, and the emperor of Dazheng stipulated that the civil prosecutor needs to be subjected to fifty boards first, but if he comes to the six alleys of Zhuguanfang in Pingjing City, there is no fear or hesitation from beginning to end, then he only needs to take twenty boards, and after the end, the criminal department must have an explanation to serve the public, of course, it is not excluded that there is that kind of boldness, but there is no grievance, who wants to come here to find bad luck, and there is a special squad at the entrance of the alley of Liubu Lane, and there is a special squad to do such things.

Zhang Xiyang followed Lu Shuyu through the downtown and entered the Liubu Alley before he felt clean, and it was strange to say that it was still noisy to the ear, but when he entered the Liubu Alley, he suddenly became quiet.

Lu Shuyu looked at Zhang Xiyang and looked around to look puzzled, and asked with a smile: "Team Zhang Zheng didn't understand why he suddenly cleared up after walking less than a hundred steps to this place?" ”

Zhang Xiyang replied: "The lieutenant is really nuanced, it is precisely this doubt, this place is extraordinary, and the sound becomes ordinary after only a hundred steps without a high wall obstruction, I don't know why." If the march encounters such a place, even a veteran can easily make a mistake. ”

Lu Shuyu smiled and said: "How is it possible, the quietness here is just the use of special materials, but this kind of material is here except for the palace, intermittently collecting materials for a hundred years, almost the entire Dazheng has been turned over to have the current scale, how can there be so many other places." ”

"And the yin atmosphere here is very heavy, if you think about how many people can die in the prison of the Criminal Department in the past two hundred years and how many people have died here, even if Qianchu is also a criminal department, this is more than two hundred years, it is inevitable that there are some grievances, ordinary people don't talk about going in, even passing by feel infiltrated, and naturally feel quiet."

Lu Shuyu continued: "The main torture of the criminal department, the main soldier of the military department, and the suppression of this momentum by the military department, otherwise I really don't know how frightening it will be." ”

"I see." Zhang Xiyang couldn't help but sigh.

"Here, this is the military department."

The Ministry of War is very easy to recognize that only the doorman of the Ministry of War in front of the six departments is a lacquered red hard leather armor, soap boots on his feet, a leather pocket on his head, a red feather on the vertical hat branch, a straight knife with the standard in the army on his waist, one hand on the waist and the other hand on the handle of the knife, coupled with a burly appearance, it looks very mighty.

Lu Shuyu took the waist card of the celebrant and Chen Zhong, the proprietor of the ceremonial supervisor, was naturally unimpeded, and the guards at the door respectfully watched the two enter the gate, and the captain on duty at the gate also ran quickly to report to the hall official.

No matter where it is, someone is always easy to do, Zhang Xiyang stood there and watched Lu Shuyu skillfully light up the waist card, and the director of the Zhengliupin of the Wuxuan Division immediately took the book and ran to the office of the Yuanwailang, and then the Yuanwailang took the three of them to the public room in Langzhong, and in less than a cup of tea, all the formalities were ready, and then went to the Arsenal Division to get the armor and blade, and you can also try on the pieces that fit and fit.

Zhang Xiyang, who walked out of the gate, looked back at the gilded characters on the gate were still strong and powerful, and the soldiers at the door were still mighty, and then raised his hand to look at the hundred refining straight knife in his hand, and the words "team" on the waist card, hey, the emperor's grace is mighty!
