"Brother, are you back so soon?"
As soon as she got home, Victoria Song came up to her with a smile.
"I met Ji Xuanfeng on the road. He was even more angry than me. The emperor, that idiot, directly sent people to assassinate him. The two of us had a brief exchange and decided to let him handle the matter."
Song Yuanshan in the courtyard nodded and said: "That's fine, after all, Ji Xuanfeng is the new emperor recognized by the royal ministers, it is better for him to take action than for you to do it yourself.
Although I, Xuanyi Wei, have nothing to fear, it is not a bad thing to have fewer conflicts with them. "
Song Xuan asked: "Tomorrow the new emperor will ascend the throne and I will attend the court meeting. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Song Yuanshan shook his head, "There's nothing to pay attention to.
Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty by Taizu, there has been a rule in the court.
If you don’t kneel down innately, you won’t worship the master.
You don’t need to salute or anything when you go, just find a place to stop and watch the ceremony.
You are the commander of the Xuanyi Guards. No matter how you behave in private, you are nominally the leader of the emperor's personal army. In the court, just remember to keep pace with the emperor. "
Song Xuan said oh, I understand, just go through the motions and continue fishing.
If the emperor doesn't want to deal with people, he doesn't have to worry about it. If the emperor wants to deal with people, he can just arrange the specific manpower to deal with it.
Thinking about it this way, the benefits are high, the pay is good, the workload is light, and no one can restrain myself. It's really satisfying to be an official.
...
The next morning, as soon as the genius was slightly bright, Song Xuan went out wearing a brand-new Xuanyi guard uniform.
The Great Court Meeting is held in the Taiji Hall once every half month. All officials of some importance in the imperial capital must attend unless there are special circumstances.
It can be said that the Taiji Hall Great Court Meeting was the highest decision-making body of the entire Zhou Dynasty.
Song Xuan was dressed in a Xuanyi robe, and no one dared to approach him along the way. When he came to the palace gate, he saw an overwhelming number of officials queuing up to enter the palace.
Song Xuan looked at the several long queues and estimated that the number of people was no less than a thousand. Moreover, officials would come from all over the imperial capital one after another, and the number might eventually reach as many as two or three thousand people.
As a qualified time traveler in the new era, although Song Xuan holds a high position, he has no intention of jumping in line.
It was the first time he participated in such a large court meeting. He chose a queue of military attachés and went there to queue up obediently.
The military attaché standing in front of Song Xuan had a thick beard covering his face and was wearing an official uniform. He had the impression that Li Kui had become a good man and became a county magistrate.
Seeing Song Xuan coming, he looked up and down curiously and whispered: "Brother, you look very unfamiliar. I wonder which yamen of Xuan Yiwei you are from?"
Song Xuan smiled and said, "From the Inspection Department."
When he heard that it was from the Inspection Department, the general's expression relaxed a little.
The Inspection Department was a big dyeing shop, and there were many second-generation ancestors who were waiting to die. Song Xuan looked young, and the general guessed that he was the son of a certain prince who lived there.
But to be able to get through enough to be qualified to attend the imperial meeting, it seems that the family must have stuffed a lot of money into it before they were really short of money.
"The inspection department is great. There is plenty of oil and water and it is not dangerous. Brother, do you have any connections? I have a useless son at home. Can you find some connections to find a position?
Don’t worry, I understand the rules. I will give you, my brother, not a single cent! "
Not everyone can enter Xuanyi Guard. There are many officials in the imperial capital, but if you can't find a suitable way, no one will dare to accept you even if you want to give money.
It was rare to meet such a young official of Xuanyi Guard who seemed to be of high rank today. This military general brother had his thoughts set on finding an iron job for his children and grandchildren.
Being an official is risky, and one day you might end up in the wrong position and have to move.
But Xuanyi Guards are different. They are almost independent of the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, the Inspection Department only needs to handle cases, and basically does not need to go into battle to kill enemies. As long as they don't commit suicide and go against their bosses, a good death is still very stable.
"Everyone line up and enter in order. Don't make any noise outside the imperial city gate!"
All around, royal guards were patrolling. When they saw someone making a noise from Song Xuan's side, two guards immediately came on horseback.
But before anyone could get close, one of the guards looked panicked and fell off his horse with a thud.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
The guards on the side were a little surprised.
His captain is a great master who has entered the Xiantian realm. How can he fall off his horse?
Who would believe it!
But the captain of the guard ignored him at all. He hurriedly got up from the ground and respectfully saluted Song Xuan with clasped fists.
"Sir, in your capacity, why do you need to line up here?"
As he spoke, he ordered the guards on the side: "Quickly, open the royal road in the middle, sir, please move!"
"Captain, is this appropriate?"
The subordinate guards hesitated.
The middle imperial road has always been qualified only by the emperor and the elders of the pavilion. Even princes, princes and ministers are not qualified unless they join the pavilion. There are strict requirements.
Song Xuan looked too young, and he was wearing Xuanyi guard uniform. No matter how he looked, he had no resemblance to the high-ranking elders in the court.
Song Xuan looked at the captain of the royal guard in front of him with a smile.
This person was the guard who accompanied the little eunuch who spontaneously combusted to announce the decree yesterday. It was a coincidence that I happened to meet him again when I came to court for the first time.
"I understand what this little general wants, but there is no need to make it special!"
Before the captain of the guard could speak, Song Xuan waved his hand, "This is my first time going to court. I mainly want to experience the atmosphere here. You can go ahead and do your business!"
The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, unsure whether the other party was just being polite or really meant it?
Commander Xuanyi Guard, with the other party's methods, if he neglected the other party, he wouldn't suddenly spontaneously combust and disappear into thin air, right?
Song Xuan frowned and winked at him. The captain of the guard suddenly knew what he was doing and turned around to leave.
I understand, the commander is going to pay a private visit incognito. He wants to mingle with the group and see who are not smart.
The boss's hobby is really special. He wants to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!
Song Xuan didn't know that his random actions would cause various associations in the eyes of the people below.
He has lived two lifetimes, and this is really his first time coming to court, so naturally he wants to go through the process properly.
After all, the first time always has some special meaning. Wouldn’t it be useless to go directly to the VIP channel without any sense of experience?
After sending away the guard captain, Song Xuan turned around and found that the dozens of people around him looked either surprised or in awe, and subconsciously kept a distance from him.
Obviously, everyone's first reaction was to stay away from him, a new but seemingly well-connected Xuanyi guard official.
Those scenes of provocation and trouble-making did not happen at all.
Somehow, Song Xuan felt inexplicably regretful.
