Chapter 2865 Horses trample on the Yamen
Dozens of people rode out of Chongrenfang and went straight to Yanxi Gate on the east side of the imperial city along the street. The six imperial departments and most of the central government offices were all within the imperial city.
Along the way, the people were walking on the street when they suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves mixed with the noise and shouts coming from far and near. They were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped aside and watched helplessly as this group of cavalry roared towards them and then swaggered in front of them. And go.
If there was a carriage that could not be avoided, the cavalry separated the queue into two and galloped past from the left and right sides. The horseman Herod who was driving the horse was so startled that he screamed and almost stumbled.
The noble man in the carriage was so angry that he opened the curtain and wanted to curse, but was stopped by the coachman: "That's Fang Erlang traveling!"
The noble man then swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips.
There are two people in Chang'an city who must not be offended. One is Zhao Guogong Changsun Wuji. This man is vicious and despicable, and he often strikes behind the scenes and cannot be avoided. The other is Fang Jun, although he is not as scheming as Changsun Wuji. , but this guy didn’t give you a chance to come back, he knocked you down right in front of you, showing no mercy at all...
Pei Xingjian rode in the queue and watched this group of cavalry swaggering through the city. Not only did he smile bitterly, but he had reached the status of a prince. Who is not mature and calm and cherishes his feathers? Fang Jun is so unscrupulous and unscrupulous.
Thinking about it again, I am actually a playboy, but compared with Fang Jun's swagger, he is as well-behaved as a three-year-old child...
A group of people and horses arrived at the gate of Yanxi, frightening the soldiers guarding the gate to draw their swords out of their sheaths and prepare for the attack.
Are you trying to break into the palace to rebel?
When he saw Fang Jun clearly surrounded by a group of cavalry, he relaxed a little. This man would never rebel.
Just looking at this posture... I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble.
The guard captain stood up fearfully and respectfully performed military salutes from a distance. After standing up, he loudly said: "I wonder where the Duke of Yue wants to go?"
Fang Jun sat on the horse, holding the reins in his hand, and replied: "I am going to the official department to do something. Please get out of the way quickly. Don't delay!"
The gatekeeper said carefully: "The Duke of Yue should know that galloping horses are strictly prohibited in the imperial city. I dare not stop the Duke of Yue because of my humble position. But please be considerate of me, otherwise I will not dare to let you in..."
There is only a sky street that separates the imperial city from the palace city, and it is where the central government offices of the empire are concentrated. Although officials are not allowed to ride horses to go on duty, they are strictly prohibited from galloping, because if they are not careful, pedestrians will be injured, and everyone here The passers-by are all court officials.
This is the rule, Fang Jun nodded, turned over and jumped off the horse.
All the soldiers also jumped off their horses, and the captain who guarded the gate breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped aside, bowed and said: "Master Yue, please!"
Fang Jun said "hmm" and entered Yanxi Gate surrounded by everyone.
The guard captain had just put his heart back in his stomach, but when he looked back, he immediately lifted it up again. I saw Fang Jun and others leading the horses through the city gate, and then they all jumped on the backs of the horses. The whips crackled, and the horses raised their four hooves. The hoofbeats were rumbling and they galloped away in the direction of the officials.
"Mom! What do you want to do with this stick?"
The captain who was guarding the gate slapped his thigh, cursed, and then quickly ordered the people around him: "Go to the Ministry of War quickly and inform the Jingzhao Mansion that the Duke of Yue has entered the imperial city on horseback and gone straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
As for the Ministry of War, which was staffed by Fang Jun, and Jingzhao Mansion, which was created by Fang Jun, it didn't matter to him whether these two yamen were in charge of this matter.
In short, after pushing away the responsibility, the rest can only ask for blessings. I hope that the second master Fang will never cause a big incident...
……
The Eastern Han Dynasty began with the establishment of officials at the Shangshutai, who were in charge of the election of temples and rituals. Later, it was renamed the Xuanbu, which was responsible for the appointment and removal of officials. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei changed its name to the Ministry of Personnel, which was responsible for the appointment and removal of civilian officials, as well as the legal system. It was subordinate to the Shangshutai. Let Shangshu be the chief. During the two Jin Dynasties, there may be an increase or decrease in the number of ministers and officials, and they may also be in charge of the election of military attachés. In the Southern Dynasties, it became a custom and was placed as one of the six departments of Shangshu Province. By the Sui and Tang dynasties, after many reforms, the Ministry of Personnel had ranked first among the six departments.
Because it has the power to select, award, and take exams for civil servants across the country, it has become truly the first in the world!
Walking through the long street of the Imperial City, you can see a row of central government offices, one next to the other. It seems that the gates of the official department are larger than other government offices...
The sky is gloomy today, and the snowflakes are sparsely floating. Although they are not big, they are also chilly to the bone.
The door of the official yamen was closed tightly, and the gatekeepers were hiding in the side rooms on both sides and warming themselves by the fire. Fortunately, as the New Year was approaching, no official business was conducted in the yamen. It was just the officials who had finished handling the many affairs accumulated during the year. Even if they cannot be concluded, they are all sealed up to be handled again after the new year. Therefore, only the officials of the headquarters come in and out of the huge yamen. There is no need to go out to the throne for questioning, and a few gates can still hide a little.
"I don't know why it's winter today. It's snowing one after another, and I'm freezing to death."
"It's okay. Since the beginning of winter, Jingzhao Mansion has been searching for dangerous houses everywhere, and jointly with the local government offices to repair them. Although it snowed several times, the people inside and outside Chang'an have not yet heard that their houses collapsed and they froze to death. It’s been a good year.”
"The most important thing is that this year ends well. There are good harvests everywhere in and outside the Pass, in Hexi and Hedong. The people have food and will not become homeless. Otherwise, as in the past, whenever a place is hit by a disaster, the people They were displaced and flocked to Chang'an. There were refugees everywhere in the city and outside the city. They seemed to freeze to death after a heavy snowfall. It's so miserable."
Several disciples chatted, took off the kettle from the stove, and poured boiling water into a teapot. In an instant, the aroma of tea wafted out. It was fragrant and mellow, and it turned out to be first-class tea.
There is still a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, and it is not easy to be the disciple of the "No. 1 in the world". With no identity and background, how can I get your turn?
Several people huddled next to the stove, each holding a big tea cup, sipping tea in a very comfortable and leisurely way.
Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves outside, rumbling from far to near, and someone said: "Hey, I don't know which family's prodigal son is riding a horse in the imperial city. After the New Year's Yushitai, those censors The officials have something to do again. ”
The remaining people did not respond, but just stared, because the sound of hoofbeats was getting closer and closer, until there was a "boom", the ground in the room seemed to be shaking, and the dust on the beams fell, hitting several people. The disciples looked embarrassed.
"What's going on?!"
Several people were startled. They quickly put down the teacups in their hands, pushed the door open and went out. They were stunned.
The two huge doors had fallen from the door frames and fell into the yard. Two horseshoe marks were clearly visible on the thick copper-covered door panels, and a man was riding a horse and slowly walked in from outside the door, mouthing something. He stopped and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, it was snowy and the road was slippery, so I couldn't slow down in time. , so I’m extremely sorry for the collision of the gate. Hey, you guys are the gatekeepers? Don’t just stand there and throw this gate aside. Hurry up and find someone to replace it with a new one. How much will it cost to go back to Duke Liang’s Mansion? Withdrawal will never let you take the responsibility.”
Several disciples' eyes twitched.
The horse was too fast and there was no time to slow down, so you knocked through the official's door?
This is simply an anecdote for the ages.
In particular, although the words were spoken brightly, the expression and tone were too arrogant. This is the official department, do you think it is a vegetable market?
This gate represents the face of the officials. Is that something that can be solved by paying a few dollars?
You are just here to cause trouble!
At that moment, a young and arrogant man took a step forward and was about to point his nose at the man and scold him. However, as soon as he took the step, he was pulled by his colleague. In his confusion, the colleague stepped forward. , bowed, saluted, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, Duke Yue, it's all because the small door failed to open for you in time, otherwise how could it be like this? The door of our staff department is of course extremely important, but don't hurt it. ”
At this moment, all the officials in the yamen were alarmed by the loud noise just now. They all walked out of the duty room. When they saw that the door of their yamen was being knocked away by someone riding on a horse, one or two of them had colorful expressions on their faces.
When everyone saw clearly the young man in brocade robe still riding a tall horse at the door, they were suddenly shocked.
No one believed that the horse was going too fast and accidentally knocked through the gate. Now that he saw this guy standing proudly on the horse, playing with the riding crop with one hand, he knew that the matter would definitely not be that simple. . (End of chapter)
