On the right side of the inner city of Luoyang, Yang Ming rode Chiyan on the way to the Lang Office.

Chiyan is the jujube red horse he "borrowed" from Zheng Hun's mansion at the beginning.

Later, I learned from Zheng Hun that because of this horse's fierce nature, no one usually dared to approach, so he was tied to the stable alone, and it turned out to be his mount by mistake.

Because the horse was so fast that it looked like a flame from afar, he took that name.

Along the way, many scholars came up and took the initiative to greet Yang Ming.

Originally, Yang Ming didn't want to be too ostentatious when he didn't take the carriage, but now it seems that he will be the focus even if he walks on Luoyang Street.

He went to the back and simply led the horse forward, which was slightly less noticeable.

Walking slowly, he also had time to look around.

Today's sun is shining, the white clouds in the sky, the warm spring breeze blowing, blowing the willows on the roadside, the passers-by are bustling, and the scenery is picturesque.

In the distance, a flock of birds suddenly flew up and broke into the white clouds, like newly sketched strokes, adding a sense of comfort.

At this moment, Yang Ming suddenly felt a palpitation.

In the next second, the whole ground shook.

It's an earthquake! Those are the frightening birds!

Yang Ming has already experienced two earthquakes in Luoyang after crossing, but the scale is not large, and only some ruins have been shaken.

But this time the tremor was noticeably stronger than the previous two.

The crowds on both sides of the road suddenly became chaotic, and many people ran out of the alley shouting.

Chi Yan also shook the horse's head restlessly, and Yang Ming stretched out his hand to reassure.

At this time, he is on the avenue, and it is safest not to move.

At this moment, a carriage spun out of control and sped away from behind him.

The already chaotic crowd screamed even more, and they avoided both sides of the road.

Yang Ming turned around when he heard the sound and saw a child crying in the middle of the road.

Seeing this, he turned over and got on his horse, slapped his legs on the horse's belly, and Red Flame rushed out.

Before the carriage hit the child, Yang Ming reached sideways and picked up the child from the ground.

The carriage whizzed by, and the difference was only a moment, and it was really thrilling.

He lifted the reins of his horse, and by this time the earthquake had stopped, and a few houses had collapsed.

The screams did not stop, and although the earthquake stopped, the carriage did not stop because of the loss of the Emperor, and rushed forward uncontrollably.

Yang Ming put the child on the side of the road, then turned the reins, and slapped the horse's belly with both legs vigorously, urging the horse to chase away.

The horses were speeding fast, and the crowds on both sides of the road came to their senses, and at this moment they saw a ball of fire flying towards the carriage.

After a few breaths, Red Flame had caught up with the carriage.

Yang Ming saw that the face of the person sitting in the carriage was pale, and he only clung to the wheel, he should have been frightened by the sudden situation.

He pulled his right leg out of the stirrup, climbed onto the back of the red flame and crouched down, then took a deep breath, looked at the road ahead, and jumped onto the horse of the carriage.

This time it was really thrilling, but after all, Yang Ming was a person who had already been on the battlefield, and his mentality and timing were just right.

When he got on his horse, he pulled the reins continuously, and the horse slowed down for a moment before his front hooves hung in the air, and then stopped.

At this time, the carriage saw that it was about to hit the pedestrian again, and Yang Ming took a long breath after stopping.

The crowd burst into cheers.

This rescue parking can be described as thrilling and exciting.

Yang Ming glanced back at the people in the carriage and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

One of the other party came back to his senses, shook his head, and forgot to thank him.

Yang Ming didn't care, seeing that the other party was fine, he jumped off the horse and turned to look for Chiyan.

When he walked back to his place, he found someone there to appease Red Flame, and although Red Flame shook his horse's head from time to time, he did not resist.

This made him look quite curious.

When the other party saw him returning, he put down the reins and saluted him: "I just saw that the young gentleman was brave enough to save people, and I admired him very much, so I took care of the horses on my behalf." ”

"Thank you." Yang Ming returned the salute and looked at the other party, only to find that his eyes were clear and his bearing was extraordinary.

"In the lower plain Huaxin, the word fish." The other person then introduced himself.

Hearing the word Hua Xin, Yang Ming bowed his hand to the other party and returned the salute: "Under Yang Ming, the word Bird." ”

This Hua Xin is not a small person, the three dukes of Cao Wei in history, although he presided over the ceremony of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and was criticized by later generations, but he was an honest and honest person, and Wang Lang and Zhong Xuan were listed together.

"But Yang Ming, who killed Zhao Yan to divide food and starve people?" Hua Xin's face was shocked when he heard this.

Yang Ming's head was bowed, the plain belonged to Qingzhou, and it was not surprising that he would ask such a question.

"I said why I went out today and saw a dry magpie chirping in the treetops, because I wanted to meet a nobleman." Hua Xin smiled when he saw this.

Yang Ming was a little embarrassed by what he said, and after giving up, he was ready to get on the horse and leave.

"Where is Bird going?" Hua Xin then asked.

"Report to the Lang Bureau." Yang Ming replied.

"There is such a fate." Unexpectedly, Hua Xin was overjoyed when he heard this.

Yang Ming glanced at the other party's age again, which was almost the same as himself, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you go to the Lang Office too?" ”

Hua Xin smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Ming also gave up his move to get on the horse and led the horse to walk with Hua Xin.

"So, Ziyu is the first to arrive in Luoyang?" Yang Ming asked.

"I only arrived yesterday, and I never thought that there would be an earthquake today." Hua Xin smiled bitterly.

Yang Ming also laughed when he heard this, and he remembered that the earthquake was a natural disaster at this time, and he didn't know which Sangong would be unlucky.

"Speaking of Bird's apprenticeship with Zheng Gong, he is considered to be the same door as me." Hua Xin said at this time.

Yang Ming looked at Hua Xin suspiciously: "Ziyu is also a disciple of Gong Zheng?" ”

Although he knew Hua Xin, he only knew about it when he made videos for Wang Lang, which was relatively limited.

Hua Xin shook his head, and continued: "When I was young, I used to apprentice with Zheng Gong and Ma Rong Ma Gong and Chen Qiu Chen Gong. ”

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, Hua Xin was still a disciple of Ma Rong and Chen Qiu?

Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhike have both become Confucians, and they are a round older than Hua Xin in terms of age!

In this way, this is still his "uncle", maybe add a small word in front of it.

This relationship brought them closer and more topics to talk about.

Yang Ming knew that Hua Xin was a native of the Tang Dynasty in the Plains, and he went to Luoyang to study when he was young, and it was also at that time that he apprenticed to Ma Rong and Chen Qiu, but he soon returned to the Plains and worked as a local official.

Chen Qiu's disciple was promoted to filial piety by the Chen family Taishou in Xiapi, which is very characteristic of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The two of them had already arrived at the Lang Office while talking, and after handing over the documents one after another, they went to report separately.

Lang Guan is a talent reserve, and naturally it is impossible to just take a temporary post, but to go to the three princes and nine secretaries to experience.

Otherwise, a person who does not have any administrative ability goes to the local governor or order, and the county will soon be in chaos.

It must be known that Cao Cao was a Lang official for three years before he became the northern lieutenant of Luoyang.

And among these places for exercise, the best and the best thing that Lang officials want to go to at this time is naturally Shangshutai.

Shangshutai was originally only a subordinate department of Shaofu, and Shangguan, Shangyi, Shangshi, Shangyu, and Shangxi were collectively called Liushang, because they were in charge of sending and receiving documents and keeping pictures in the palace, so they were called Shangshu.

Later, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to better control the court, he has successively given the right to be in charge of documents, provincial reading of chapters, and conveying the emperor's orders, and his status has increased day by day.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, in order to divide the power, expanded the Shangshutai institution, making it the nominal "China and Korea".

Because all the officials of Shangshutai, including Shangshuling, were not high-ranked, which was convenient for the emperor to control, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty essentially relied on it to remotely control foreign dynasties, which was also the actual power center of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So if you can go there, you can get in touch with the core of the entire empire, see all kinds of people and things, and absolutely gilded place.

This is also the reason why at Yang Ming's wedding, Wang Lang and his attendant are also worthy of Yang Ming's introduction.

Secondly, there is Shizhong Temple.

The temple was only established last year, mainly responsible for reviewing the documents of Shangshutai, because Liu Hong thought that the rights of Shangshutai were too large, and it was set up to divide the rights of Shangshutai.

And in terms of location, both are located in the Imperial Palace, the difference is only that the Shizhong Temple is located in the south of the Pavilion, closer to the palace gate, while the Shangshutai is located in the north, closer to the Forbidden Center, that is, closer to the Son of Heaven.

From these, it can be seen that the status of Shizhong Temple is not much smaller than that of Shangshutai.

Yang Ming became a Langzhong after the report and also received his whereabouts.

It's not Shangshutai, it's Shizhong Temple.

This result is not surprising.

Previously, when he was in Mengjin, Wang Xiu had predicted that Cao Jie would make things difficult for Yang Ming in Shangshutai, but that was based on the premise that the situation in Luoyang was relatively stable.

Now that Cao Jie and Shangshu are fighting fiercely, Cao Jie naturally will not let him, the "pioneer of resistance to eunuchs", enter.

However, this also shows more and more that Liu Hong's current attitude is responsive to Cao Jie and other eunuchs, and this battle over scripture and learning has long been a trend of mountains and rains coming and the wind is full of buildings.

With the appointment of the Lang Bureau, Yang Ming prepared to report to Shizhong Temple.

When he went out, he didn't see Hua Xin, and he didn't know whether he went first or was still in the Lang Office.

He didn't care, and rode straight to the palace on the red flame.

……

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were four kinds of Lang officials: Langzhong/Shangshu Lang, Shilang, Zhonglang, and Yilang.

The first entry into the Lang Department is Langzhong, the rank is 200 stones, and Shangshu Lang is another name in Shangshu Tailang, with a rank of 400 stones;

After Shang Shulang has completed three years, he is called Shilang, and his rank is still 400 stones;

After Langzhong meets certain requirements, he can be promoted to Zhonglang, with a rank of 600 stones;

The rank of the councillor is 600, and most of them are celebrities or high-ranking officials.

The chief officer who manages the Lang official is the middle lang general, and there are five official Zhong Lang generals, left middle lang generals, right middle lang generals, tiger Ben Zhong lang generals, and Yulin Zhong Lang generals, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones.

Above the Zhonglang General, the highest official of the Lang Department is Guangluxun, who is in charge of the guards at the palace portal.
