After the half-monthly rest, it is normal to maintain the normal court time for two weeks.
However, due to the ostentatious behavior of the young Qing Emperor Shen Yi, the time for going to court every month became the day after Xiu Mu. In other words, the working hours of the imperial officials changed from about twenty-eight days a month to two days.
As for going to court after taking a rest on this day, according to previous regulations, the captains of the three armies did not need to go to the school grounds, but they also had to go to court.
Although Old Tang still has an official position, his official position is now under Yanzhou Mu, so he does not need to go to court. He saw the sword on Zuo Ning's waist, took a step forward, took the sword off his waist, and then cursed and said: "Do you still want to go to the palace with a sword?"
After saying that, Humu gave Zuo Ning a sharp look.
Zuo Ning didn't explain. He just wanted to go to the school grounds. Anyway, according to his speed, it would be enough time to go to the school grounds first and then turn around. He put the sword over there and let Shen Feihe keep it temporarily. It's not a problem, it can also serve as a supervisor, but now that the sword is held by Old Tang, it doesn't matter.
He smiled at Old Tang and took care of his flowing clouds and water-patterned clothes embroidered with gold threads on which a spread-winged goshawk was embroidered. The design of the large sleeves obviously made him feel slightly uncomfortable as he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Shen Yi tied the child seal from the mother-in-law's official seal on the right side of the jade belt around her waist, then turned around and hurried to court.
Looking at Zuo Ning's retreating figure, Old Tang smiled happily and said,
This little kid he had watched grow up has now become a talented person who can stand alone, just like his father.
...
"The newly-appointed Captain of the Guard?...!!! Yanzhou Huhu, grandson of Yanzhou Mu, son of An Yanhou, quasi-consort—Zuo Ning??!"
In front of the palace gate, an old middle-aged man looked at Zuo Ning, who was slightly embarrassed in front of him, and exclaimed: "I've heard about you a long time ago! Hahahahahahaha, when did I come to Beijing? I don’t know, come on, come on, let’s go together, hahahahaha, my name is Chen Yin, I am serving as Captain of the Yujun Army, just like you, I am in the fourth rank..."
It turns out that this middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples is the last captain of the three armies, Chen Yin.
Chen Yin has not changed at all since he became the captain of the Yu Army twenty years ago. It can be said that Chen Yin has absolute prestige among the Yu Army.
Twenty years without any stain on his political performance is enough to prove that this person is a veteran with sharp vision and good ability to command troops.
Facing his seniors, Zuo Ning still looked respectful and did not put on the airs of a lot of prefixes. He saluted Chen Yin: "I have admired the name of Mr. Chen for a long time, and this boy is Zuo Ning."
"I have admired you for a long time. You have admired everyone for a long time."
Before seeing the person, he heard his voice first. With such a rough and heroic voice, Zuo Ning knew who it was without even looking.
Shen Yunzhou was wearing a python robe, and he still looked carefree, but this time his whole body was neat and tidy. After covering his cynical face, he still looked like a serious prince.
Zuo Ning didn't say anything, smiled and bowed to Shen Yunzhou.
"Be respectful to your elders. This is the duty of the younger generation."
I still don't understand why, Zuo Ning, a martial arts master who is good at using Fang Tian's halberd, has a gentle, elegant and easy-going appearance, and even his personality is the same. On the battlefield, this is so deceptive. , tsk tsk tsk.
"Yunzhou, you are already a prince, but you are still just like a ruffian." Chen Yin looked at Shen Yunzhou with disgust, then stretched out his big hand and patted Shen Yunzhou on the back.
"Come on, let's go." Shen Yunzhou yawned, and then walked towards the main hall, like a migrant worker who couldn't wait to get off work before he went to work, while the two real migrant workers behind him could only helplessly He shook his head and followed.
...
"Your Majesty~, it's time to go to court today~"
Shen Yi was lying on the dragon couch. In front of him, a charming and delicate woman with silky eyes was lying on his chest panting, reminding him in a soft and weak voice.
He picked up Luo Yujiao in his arms and placed her on the other side of the bed. The orange quilt slid down Luo Yujiao's smooth and jade-like skin, revealing a pair of fair legs, with a faint red color on the inside of her knees. The indentation was particularly conspicuous on her snow-white complexion.
"Change."
"No~~"
After simply putting on the underwear scattered beside the bed and standing up with her tired body, Luo Yanjiao walked barefoot to the clothes rack on the side, took off Shen Yi's dragon robe and put it on Shen Yi.
Facing the beautiful woman in front of him, Shen Yi had an expressionless face, and there was no emotion in his tone: "Luo Zhixing has reached the age of marriage early, and there is still an only daughter in the family of the minister of official affairs who is waiting to be married."
Shen Yi must have known for a long time that Zhixing liked Princess Huaiyu, but now that the matter has basically been settled, since he has spoken so, Luo Yujiao could only silently pity her nephew in her heart, and then After dressing Shen Yi, he knelt on his knees and said delicately: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage."
After straightening his clothes again, Shen Yi stretched out his hand and lifted Luo Yanjiao's chin, leaned over and touched her crystal moist lips, and then strode away.
Luo Yujiao waited for Shen Yi to walk away before she stood up. She changed from her slender and frail demeanor just now and called the maid to serve her.
...
Liang Shuo looked at the three people walking towards him and cupped his hands with a smile on his face: "Prince, Mr. Chen, Captain Zuo."
Shen Yunzhou had good senses about this colleague with a tiger-like smile, so he nodded in response, and then said to Zuo Ning: "That is Simon Liang Shuo, Mr. Liang."
Since it is an elder again, no, what we are seeing now, and those we are about to meet must be elders, so a salute is definitely necessary, Zuo Ning thought, and then respectfully saluted this third-grade official: "I have admired Mr. Liang for a long time..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Yunzhou slapped Zuo Ning on the back, interrupting Zuo Ning's words, and then said speechlessly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, can you change the word?!"
Liang Shuo laughed loudly, and then waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I have long heard that Captain Zuo is the most brave among the three armies. Today I saw him, and he is unexpectedly handsome. He is young and not frivolous. He is a good material. You three, let's go in together. Go to the palace."
After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to Zuo Ning: "It just so happens that Captain Zuo can get to know his colleagues and serve as officials together in the court. Don't mess up the relationship. But if it's Captain Zuo, then it definitely won't be ruined. "
"Liang Gong was so complimentary. This is the duty of the younger generation and is not worthy of the Tao."
Then the four of them walked towards the Golden Palace together. At this time, many officials were already standing in the hall.
Zuo Ning took a quick look and found that standing at the front of the ranks of civil servants was an old man with an aging look. Although the old man looked old, he was full of energy and was not hunched over. He stood alone and quietly at the front with his eyes closed and meditative. He was incompatible with the officials chatting next to him.
Noticing Zuo Ning's gaze, Shen Yunzhou on the side was not as cynical as before, but said respectfully: "That person is the current emperor's master and prime minister, Gu Ji."
