In the early hours of the morning, the fourth watch, that is, it was about less than three o'clock.

However, sedan chairs appeared on various streets in Beijing.

However, when the night watchmen saw these palanquins, none of them were surprised, on the contrary, these husbands, who were responsible for both telling the time and serving as early warnings, gave way to these palanquins, as if they were afraid of offending them.

Absolutely.

Because, these sedan chairs are not ordinary sedan chairs.

In addition to a few four-person blue sedan chairs, more are eight-person sedan chairs, and each has a sedan chair officer and a sedan chair officer.

The Qing court has a system, and officials of the fourth rank and below are allowed to take the blue sedan chair, and the officials of the third grade and above are allowed to take the green sedan chair!

Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule. If an official has reached the rank and has not earned a lot of income, he can do what he can, and it is not considered a violation; But if the grade is not up to but in order to look good, you have to take a high-grade sedan chair, then even if you violate the system, once you are reported out, you will not only be punished, but if it is serious, you will be dismissed and confiscated.

At this time, these green and blue sedan chairs only show one thing, that is...... The civil and military officials are going to the early court.

In fact, the early dynasties did not happen every day. Otherwise, you have to get up on the fifth watch and the fourth watch, that is, you have to get up from bed at one or two o'clock in the morning every day, and no one can stand it. Therefore, the days of the third, sixth, and ninth days of each month have been used as the time of the early dynasty.

And today is the day when Kangxi wants to go to the early dynasty!

……

Chen Xijia, the head of the household, sat in his green sedan chair, with his sleepy eyes still a little loose, and his body shook with the swaying of the sedan chair, feeling very comfortable.

He is gloating over what happened to his comrade, Isan'a, a squire in the Ministry of Works.

"I told you a long time ago, don't worry, don't worry, but you just won't listen. If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss and show your eyes...... Okay now, right? Now I was beaten in the dark by someone's 'crutch', and I can only be a man with my tail between my legs...... Idiot! ”

Recalling the last time in the early dynasty, Ethan Ah was trained by Kangxi with Lefu's case, and was embarrassed in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Chen Xijia felt a burst of amusement. However, what made him feel even more ridiculous was not this, in his eyes, Isan Ah actually didn't know how to learn a lesson, but instead wanted to attack and retaliate against Ma De is a really funny and stupid move.

"Alas, how come people in this world are so ignorant of advance and retreat? …… Ethan, Esan, sooner or later, you have to die of your rotten temper, Suo Etu is gone, Tong Guowei won't work hard to protect you! ”

Chen Xijia secretly felt sorry for Isang's dissuasion, there are not many comrades who can maintain a little friendly relationship with him now, although Tong Guowei seems to value him a lot, but, after all, before he and Isanga took refuge in the past, Tong Guowei already had a large number of subordinates, so many people want to follow Tong Guowei, the prime minister, to get more benefits, and he is weak, if even Isang'a, an old colleague, has to be cut because of recent events, then his future life will be even more difficult.

"Beam-clear-standard!" Chen Xijia hatefully spit out a person's name. Better do it than wish it done. Ethan Ah was too anxious, Heilongjiang had just shown a little head, and he wanted to jump over to reap the benefits. I thought that Yu Zhong and his gang were all rootless trees, and they couldn't keep their "territory" in Heilongjiang at all. But who would have thought? Yu Zhong and his gang actually hugged together, and Ma De came forward, through the incident of Chen Huang and others, they beat him together, made him disgraced, and almost turned over? …… What is the big breach of the Yellow River? In which year will the Yellow River not burst? Le Fu is so able to govern the river, doesn't he have to plug it every year? How could anyone believe this kind of excuse? …… Chen Xijia sneered slightly. As a waiter in the Ministry of Works, Isan Ah is actually a position with a lot of oil and water, and in the past two years, Kangxi has begun to build Changchun Garden, and the accounts of the Ministry of Industry are very large every day. However, who told him that he recently had a new Ministry of Industry book named Chen Tingjing? With this Chen someone watching, he Ethan Adon said that his ability is limited, even if he has outstanding ability? Can he beat Chen Tingjing, that old fox?

Thinking of Chen Tingjing, Chen Xijia thought of his current boss, that is, Liang Qingbiao, who was recalled from his hometown by Kangxi a few years ago and became the head of the household department. This Liang Qingbiao was a jinshi in the former Ming Zhenzhen period, not only surrendered to the current Qing Dynasty, but also surrendered Li Zicheng before, which is not a thing. However, this Liang made great contributions to the two major moves of the Kangxi Dynasty, that is, the pacification of the three feudatories and the recovery of Taiwan, and as a result, he became a close confidant of Kangxi and had a deep foundation in the court. So, it's very rough to speak. Although he didn't dare to keep up with the minister of the study, there were very few people in the court who were taken by him. And it is very unfortunate that this Liang Shangshu is not an incorruptible master, and he knows that his appointment this time may be "the last glory in his life", so he stretched out his hand very long...... Now, he's almost squeezed into the household to the point that he doesn't even have the right to speak in the household.

"Liang Qingbiao, Liang Qingbiao, since you are not benevolent, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite...... Hmph, this official finally got a lot of bad debts for you, and when the time comes, see who can help you cover it. Chen Xijia narrowed his eyes. There has always been a battle between the courts, either you die or I die. Yesterday he called him a brother, and today he has made it clear that there are many examples of cars and horses doing your life and death. If he wants to "get out of the position", he has to get rid of the ass sitting on top of his head...... However, he begged Tong Guowei several times for this matter, but there is still no movement. Thinking about it, Tong Guowei is now the first auxiliary minister of the DPRK, but compared to the momentum of Mingzhu and Suo Etu, it is not a little worse, Liang Qingbiao can speak in front of Kangxi, he does not dare to start.

"My lord, there is a sedan chair in front of you blocking the road......"

Just when Chen Xijia was thinking about how to stab Liang Qingbiao's bad things in front of Kangxi, his sedan chair officer opened the sedan curtain and said to him.

"Huh? Maybe it's an official of the previous dynasty...... Just follow behind. Chen Xijia said.

"My lord, I can't follow ...... The sedan chair was lying across the ground blocking the road, and we couldn't get through......," said the sedan chair officer.

"Huh? What's going on? Chen Xijia was stunned for a moment, the green sedan chair he was riding in had stopped, and then, he heard the sedan chair official "get off the sedan chair", and the sedan chair was put on the ground.

……

"My lord, it's a blue sedan chair, somehow, it seems to have been broken...... There was no one around, and there was only one sedan chair left! On Chen Xijia's order, the sedan chair officer went to see the sedan chair blocking their way, and came back to report.

"What about the blue sedan chair? Broken? Chen Xijia was even more confused. When officials go out, how can a sedan chair suddenly break? Didn't the palanquin drivers check beforehand? It's impossible, if the court officials are dropped because of this, will those palanquin drivers still be mixed?

"My lord," the sedan chair officer smiled suddenly, and said, "The little one saw a footprint on the side of the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was probably broken by someone kicking it down......"

"Kicked?" It's a strange thing. Chen Xijia got off the sedan chair and hurriedly walked two steps to the side of the sedan chair, yes, there is indeed a footprint on the side of the sedan body of the blue sedan chair that is a little new, the number is not small, he reached out and touched it, and the sedan body of the footprint part is still a little broken, which shows how ruthless this foot is!

"Who are these people, this is?" Chen Xijia couldn't cry or laugh. Kicking the official's sedan chair, it is a shame that someone can do this kind of thing.

Chen Xijia stood there looking at the sedan chair, and his sedan guide also followed, bent down and looked inside the sedan chair that had fallen to the ground, and then took out something from the sedan chair.

"My lord, here's a twist!" The sedan chair officer said to Chen Xijia.

"Folding?" Chen Xijia figured out the reason in his mind as soon as he turned his head. Obviously, this recital was caused by the official who sat in the blue sedan chair after the sedan chair was kicked down, and the magazine that climbed out fell into the sedan chair, probably in a hurry to go to court, so he forgot to check it.

However, Chen Xijia did not feel anything remarkable. Most of the passengers in the blue sedan chair are officials of the fourth rank and below, what big things can these people do? There are occasionally a few big people in the court who sit in a blue sedan chair, but who doesn't know these people's sedan chairs? Those who dare to kick these sedan chairs are probably not born yet.

casually opened the picked up notebook, and roughly skimmed the beginning, but Chen Xijia was stunned, "Quinine? What is this? However, as he looked down, he gradually became happy.

***********

Old man Fei This is the first time to participate in the early dynasty. In addition to waking up too early and feeling a little sleepy, it is more about feeling fresh.

However, this freshness of his was completely lost after his sedan chair was kicked down and he was thrown into a mess.

"Where did the lack of virtue come from? Why is it so boring? Actually kicked my old man's sedan chair! ......" Touching the cyan scars on his head, Old Man Fei wanted to grit his teeth a little. However, he really couldn't imagine who could be so boring, shameless, and ......

……

Old man Fei followed the sedan chair man and walked to the noon gate on two legs, so as soon as he arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of many officials who had already arrived. …… In these years, no matter how clear and clear the officials are, it is impossible not to sit in a sedan chair!

At this time, there were already a lot of officials in front of the noon gate, and so many eyes were focused on himself, no matter how calm Old Man Fei was, he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face. At this time, if someone comes forward to admit that he kicked over his sedan chair, maybe he will have to pinch it first to have a good time.

However, this embarrassing scene did not last long, and after Zhang Tingyu stepped forward and greeted Old Man Fei with his fists, the officials consciously turned their eyes away.

"Master Fei, why didn't you sit in a sedan chair?" Zhang Tingyu pulled Old Man Fei to his side, but after all, he couldn't hold back and asked.

"Well, how do you say that?" Old man Fei's face was hot for a while, but he didn't want to lie in front of Zhang Tingyu, so he told the truth: "I originally got a sedan chair, but I was kicked halfway through, so I had to come over by myself......"

"......" Zhang Tingyu was also stunned. Kicking a sedan chair? Who is so immoral?

"You don't see whose sedan chair it is?" After thinking about it, Zhang Tingyu said to Old Man Fei again.

"The black light is blind, I only know that it is a green sedan chair, and I don't know anything else......" Old man Fei smiled bitterly.

"What about the green sedan chair?" Zhang Tingyu thinks about it. I'm afraid that only those who ride in a green sedan chair dare to kick people. However, these people won't do such an inauthentic thing as kicking a sedan chair, right? Did you want to fall to death Old Man Fei? …… Zhang Tingyu looked at the old man Fei again and came to a conclusion: he would definitely not be able to beat the old man in front of him; Therefore, the possibility of attempting to kill Old Man Fei by kicking down the sedan chair is very small.

Zhang Tingyu's eyes turned around in front of the noon gate, but he happened to see a person who was also looking towards the place where he and Old Man Fei were, but after this person glanced at him, he hurriedly turned his gaze to the side.

"Huh?" Zhang Tingyu groaned slightly, but his heart lit up.

"Master Zhang, who was that just now?" Old man Fei asked beside him, daring to love him, he also saw the somewhat sneaky guy.

"That's ...... Isan'a, the waiter of the Ministry of Works," Zhang Tingyu paused, and then added, "He is ......one step ahead of you, Lord Fei."

*******

Seeing Old Man Fei and Zhang Tingyu looking at him incessantly, Ethan felt a palpitation.

I regret it!

Why can't you help it? Originally, he didn't know any Ferdinand's sedan chair, but his sedan chair driver knew the sedan chair driver hired by Old Man Fei temporarily. As a result, as soon as he heard that the person in front of him was one of Ma De's gang who caused him to be reprimanded by Kangxi, he suddenly became angry and asked the sedan chair driver to kick him over while he was overtaking him.

……

However, after kicking it, he regretted it!

Not to mention anything else, although Ferdinand and his gang are nothing in the court, in front of Kangxi, they are definitely more effective than him, the squire of the Ministry of Works. Although this matter is not a big deal, if this matter is stabbed in front of Kangxi, his experience will be even worse.

Why are you so breathless? Seeing Old Man Fei aiming at him again, Isana asked himself again.
