Not long after, Bai Yuxian followed Bai Zheng in a carriage and arrived outside the imperial city gate.
As an official of the imperial court, Bai Zheng needs to enter the imperial city directly and then wait with all the officials outside the morning court hall of the palace to wait for the imperial court.
As for Bai Yuxian, because he is not an official yet, he only needs to wait for the announcement to be announced to the court as the No. 1 Military Scholar due to special circumstances, so Bai Yuxian can only wait to hear the announcement at the gate of the imperial city.
So when the carriage stopped at the entrance of the imperial city, Bai Yuxian also got out of the car and said to Bai Zheng.
"Jade Immortal still needs to wait here to hear the announcement. Uncle doesn't have to worry about Yu Immortal. He can just enter the palace first."
"Okay, so that Jade Immortal, you can just wait here with peace of mind."
When Bai Zheng heard this, he nodded without saying any more. He spoke directly to Bai Yuxian with concern and advice, and then took the lead in entering the imperial city. At the same time, on the way here, Bai Zheng also carefully said something to Bai Yuxian. Things that need to be paid attention to during court, especially the etiquette that need to be paid attention to when going to court.
It has to be said that although Bai Zheng's own abilities are limited, as the head of the Bai family, Bai Zheng's attitude and heart are undoubtedly qualified and upright, and he also has the intention to revitalize the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion. However, it is a pity that his own abilities are limited and there are too many hindrances. .
Watching Bai Zheng enter the imperial city first, Bai Yuxian waited quietly in the open space next to the entrance of the imperial city.
Along the way, we also saw many civil servants and generals who came to court.
Bai Yuxian didn't know most of these people, it was just the first time he saw them, but as long as these people looked at him, Bai Yuxian would bow to them one by one.
During this period, Bai Yuxian also saw his father-in-law Han Su, but the father-in-law and his son-in-law just nodded and signaled to each other without saying anything.
Other civil and military officials basically recognized Bai Yuxian when they saw her. After all, most of them had already seen Bai Yuxian during the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival.
With Bai Yuxian's face and reputation, Bai Yuxian may not be able to recognize who they are, but they still have fresh memories of Bai Yuxian, and even those who have never seen Bai Yuxian before can basically guess it.
Looking at the white jade fairy who is dressed in brocade clothes like jade and looks as graceful as a young master in troubled times.
Many officials were thinking, knowing clearly that Bai Yuxian was going to take off in the future, and today was the day when Bai Yuxian took off.
"Congratulations, Mr. Han, for finding a good son-in-law."
Officials who knew Han Su immediately whispered congratulations to Han Su. It was no secret that Bai Yuxian was Han Su's son-in-law and was about to marry Han Shiyin.
"Master Han is really enviable to be able to find such a quick and happy son-in-law. Don't forget me when the wedding comes, Master Han. I will come to ask for a cup of wedding wine."
"Yes, yes, when the wedding wine comes, Master Han, please don't forget us. We also want to come and ask for a wedding wine."
"sure."
Han Su responded with a smile.
On the contrary, Bai Zheng is nominally the head of the Bai family and Bai Yuxian's uncle, but no one cares about him at the moment.
At this time, another figure surrounded by many civil servants appeared. Looking at Han Su surrounded by many officials, he also smiled.
"I've wanted to drink this wedding wine for a long time. Master Han, don't forget the truth."
"I've met Mr. Li."
Seeing the person coming, Han Su and other officials quickly bowed and saluted.
But if the person who came was not Li Linfu, who could he be?
Han Su saluted and smiled.
"Li Xiang is willing to come to drink my daughter's wedding wine. It is really a blessing to me. I am lucky in my life. I can't forget Li Xiang when the time comes."
"Haha, okay, then it's settled."
Li Linfu immediately laughed loudly, and at the same time he couldn't help but think in his heart. It seemed that in the future, his attention to Han Su needed to be raised to a higher level.
After all, now that Bai Yuxian has become an official and is favored by the emperor, he obviously has a bright future, and Bai Yuxian is Han Su's son-in-law. In this way, as long as he wins over Han Su, he will also win over Bai Yuxian.
Moreover, Bai Yuxian was the person chosen by the Emperor himself for promotion, so he and he were naturally in the same camp, so they were naturally suitable for establishing a good relationship.
As for directly wooing Bai Yuxian, Li Linfu never thought about it, because Bai Yuxian was destined to have only one camp after becoming an official, and that was the emperor.
If I directly win over Bai Yuxian, I am afraid that I will make the emperor unhappy. Besides, there is no need. As long as I continue to maintain the relationship with Han Su and firmly pull Han Su into his camp, then Bai Yuxian will naturally Will be on his side.
Soon, all the civil and military officials arrived one after another.
Prince Li Heng and a group of civil and military officials also arrived one after another and followed behind Prince Li Heng. Looking at the clearly distinguished members of Li Linfu's group on the other side, especially looking at Han Su next to Li Linfu, Prince Li Heng's eyes flickered.
The appearance of Bai Yuxian gave Li Heng a sense of crisis. He and Li Linfu had been fighting for many years and had long been on the same level.
In terms of power, his side was supported by generals such as Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming, which almost represented the power of nearly half of the military generals of the Tang Dynasty, while Li Linfu's side was firmly gathered with the power of civilian officials, which almost represented the power of the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty.
To a certain extent, the current battle between him and Li Linfu also represents the civil and military battles in the court.
He controlled the main power of the military attachés in the court, and Li Linfu controlled the main power of the civil servants in the court.
But now that once Bai Yuxian becomes an official and becomes the new commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, he will directly get involved in the military power, and it will also be a powerful Forbidden Army stationed in the capital. As Han Su's son-in-law, Bai Yuxian is also a student of the Imperial College. A natural follower of civil servants, so he would almost always be on the side of Li Linfu's camp.
This would have a great impact on the fight between him and Li Linfu.
squeak--!
ah--!
Soon, with the sound of the huge palace door opening, the morning ceremony officially began.
"Xuan, all officials come to the Hajj to see you!"
Upon hearing this, all the officials entered the hall one after another, standing on both sides of the civil and military sides. As the emperor Li Longji appeared, they all paid their respects.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"Long live your majesty!"
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The officials stood up again.
Li Longji sat high on the dragon chair, looked down at the civil and military officials of His Highness, and said slowly.
"It will be played in advance."
"I have this report, and the governor of Jiangnan came to report that autumn floods occurred in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, causing serious disasters."
"I also have my own memorial."
The ministers who had something to report immediately stepped forward to start the memorial.
After this set of procedures was completed and no one from the civil and military officials came to report, Li Longji spoke again.
"Since you have nothing to report, I have something to tell you today to see what you think."
"Yesterday, the Jinke Military Examination ended. Bai Yuxian, the number one scholar in martial arts, has both civil and military skills. It is rare in ancient and modern times. I want to build a new forbidden army. I plan to appoint Bai Yuxian, the number one scholar in martial arts, as the new commander of the forbidden army. What do you think?"
After speaking, Li Longji looked at His Highness the civil and military officials as if seeking advice.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." An official immediately walked out of the hall and said: "Bai Yuxian is indeed a young and talented young man with both civil and military skills. He is a rare talent, but after all, he is too young and has no experience, so he acted so rashly. Appointing him as the commander-in-chief of an army, I think it is a bit too rash, so I might as well appoint him as a subordinate position first, and the commander-in-chief will choose another general. After Bai Yuxian has been trained for some time to see if he is really talented, it will not be too late to appoint him again. "
The person who spoke was an official of medium height and an official from Prince Li Heng's faction, named Wang Wenru. Naturally, he had been instructed to say this earlier.
"Your Majesty, I think the words of the King are unconservative."
Seeing the opposition from Prince Li Heng's group, some civil servants from behind Li Linfu's group immediately stood up and expressed the opposite opinion.
"Since ancient times, our Tang Dynasty has been a meritocracy and has always used talents in an eclectic way. This is why our Tang Dynasty is so glorious and prosperous today. Although Bai Yuxian is young, he is the best among his peers in both civil and military skills. Such talents are rare in ancient times and modern times, and I believe that they should be entrusted and reused, so that His Majesty's sagacity can be shown."
"What the two dear ladies said makes sense, but what about the other dear ladies?"
Li Longji's face remained calm and he spoke again.
"Your Majesty, you might as well call the White Jade Immortal to the palace first so that everyone can see this person with their own eyes, and then we can make a custom order."
At this time someone suggested again.
"That's fine. In that case, let's announce that Bai Yuxian, the number one scholar in martial arts, will come to the palace first."
Someone immediately shouted outside the hall.
"Xuan, Wu Zhuangyuan Bai Yuxian comes to the palace!"
"Xuan, Wu Zhuangyuan Bai Yuxian comes to the palace!"
"."
The sound continued from outside the main hall door to the palace gate.
