Chapter 93 Imperial City [Please vote for me! 】
“Oh?” Come with me to Zhu Xie Division," Liang Yue replied.
The two people he was talking about were naturally Pang Chun and Chen Ju.
This was discussed with them when he went to the Imperial Guard Station to pack his things and say goodbye.
The position of the Zhuxie Division and the Prince's companion can be combined, but the position of the Imperial Guard is not so good.
The prince's accompanying salary is ten taels of silver per month, and he does not have to be on duty every day, and his time is free; the Zhuxie Secretary's monthly salary is eighty taels, and he does not have to be on duty every day, and his time is free; the imperial guard's salary is two taels of silver per month. , and we have to patrol the streets at midnight every day and in the morning and evening.
Putting the three together, it is naturally not difficult to choose.
After all, the Imperial Guard has little money and many things to do, so he only occupies a road close to his home.
But Liang Yue was still very reluctant to let go of the brothers stationed in the station.
Lao Hu has always taken good care of him, but as a junior guard stationed in the station, it is naturally impossible for him to leave.
With the outbreak of the Tower of Babel case, the commander-in-chief of Nancheng, Zou Fang, has been imprisoned for the felony of reselling arms. The structure of the Imperial Guard may change in the future, and maybe Lao Hu will also have the opportunity to be promoted.
Pang Chun has always been with him. He was really worried about leaving him alone in the imperial guard, so Liang Yue thought of bringing him with him.
Chen Juze strongly requested it himself.
“There are absolutely no women in this station, and it’s rare to encounter any major cases. If it weren’t for you two friends, I would have stopped doing this. I’ve long heard that there are many Xuanmen beauties in Zhuxie Yamen. , if you two go, you have to help your brother no matter what!" he said.
"It's okay to bring you along, but..." Liang Yue kindly reminded, "Xuanmen female cultivators in Zhuxie Yamen, you'd better not make any decisions. I'm a little worried..."
"Worried about them Are you fascinated by me?" Chen Ju chuckled.
"..." Liang Yue sighed silently.
It’s not good to speak ill of your colleagues before you even enter the door. But for the fellow apprentices and sisters in the Zhuxie Division, it is not easy to think about any of them.
I’m really afraid that next time I see Chen Ju, he will be round.
After hearing Liang Yue's words, Xie Wenxi thought for a while and said: "The Zhuxie Division's review is very strict. You must screen your identity and background layer by layer. Only if there are no problems can you enter. You can ask the person you recommend to come and report tomorrow. I'll see you. When I see them, the process is definitely not small, and they can only work as knife clerks and pen clerks. They start from side jobs that are not exposed to confidentiality. It is impossible for them to work as a leader like you."
< br>"I understand this." Liang Yue nodded and said: "There is absolutely no problem with their background."
The Zhuxie Division's review is mainly focused on Jiu Yang, and Pang Chun and Chen Ju definitely have no problems in this regard. .
Pang Chun is a descendant of Zhonglie, and Chen Ju is a descendant of the aristocratic family.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the clear eyes between the two of them, they couldn't be spies.
...
After staying at Zhuxie Yamen for a while, Liang Yue rushed to the imperial city again after noon.
This is the first time he has been close to the behemoth in the north of Longyuan City. From a distance, he can only feel the majestic majesty. Only when he is closer can he feel the majestic pressure between the tall green tiled red walls. Like a real dragon entrenched, it is indescribably shocking.
This is the real Fulong Abyss!
An imperial city contains countless spiritual treasures, formations, and powerful men. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the deepest vortex in the world.
But there are countless people who are eager to do this.
Of course he couldn't go to the main gate, but came to the small gate on the southeast side of the imperial city. After notifying the imperial guard guarding the gate, he waited for a while and then a carriage came to the door.
"Liang Bandu, here we come." A young eunuch pulled the carriage, who was the follower behind Wu Huaili yesterday.
Liang Yue said hello with a smile and got into the car under the guidance of the little eunuch.
The Imperial City was the place where the emperor worked. Shanhe Hall, where the Great Court Meeting was located, and Qinzheng Hall, where the Small Court Meeting was located, were both located here. There are also Wen'an Hall, Wu'an Hall, Enshrining Hall, Xiangguo Gate, Yinmajian and other places of esteem. You have to keep walking inward to find the palace where the royal family lives.
The palace where the prince lives is located in the east of the palace city, so it is called the "East Palace".
The gates leading from the Imperial City to the Palace City are much higher and the guards are much stricter. The palace walls are so high that you can barely see the sky at a glance. There are many shadows on both sides. I don't know what is hidden. At a glance, I can only feel that there is a faint and dazzling light.
After showing the badge for entering and leaving the imperial city, the little eunuch sat on the carriage shaft and reminded, "Liang Bandu, from now on you will be picked up and dropped off by the little eunuch when you come in and out, but you must not move around by yourself. This palace The inside is not as good as the outside. One careless step can lead to death."
"I understand." Liang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
"My name is. Wu Ji, just call me Xiao Wuzi." The little eunuch smiled and said, "We will often interact with each other when you walk in the East Palace."
"Wu Ji?" Liang Yue's expression was a little subtle, and he stopped laughing. Fortunately, it was not too offensive due to the car curtain, "Did Eunuch Wu give this name to Wu Huaili yesterday?"
" "Yes." Wu Ji said: "My godfather said this means no bonds. He hopes that I will be free and free in the future."
"It has a very good meaning." Liang Yue nodded. It will indeed be a lot more free."
"But how can people be free in the palace?" Wu Ji said with some envy, "I think people like you outside are unfettered."
I have.
I'm still saving it for later.
Liang Yue retorted silently in his heart.
The carriage drove along the wide road in the middle of the palace wall, made countless turns, and finally arrived at the East Palace.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw the prince, Wu Huaili and all the palace people waiting there. The protector that day was standing in the darkness on the side of the crowd, still inconspicuous.
"Liang Yue! You're finally here, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." As soon as he saw him get out of the car, the prince immediately stepped forward happily.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Liang Yue bowed and saluted.
Halfway down, he was immediately lifted up by the prince, "You are my savior, it's my turn to salute you."
"Prince, don't be shy. A humble position." Liang Yue was also polite.
While the two were chatting politely, the Taoist protector also came forward and asked, "I heard that Liang Bandu is a disciple of Taoism?"
"Yes." Liang Yue turned his head again and replied. "I wonder which lineage I am from, and which master's disciple?" The protector chuckled, "I am Hu Delu, who serves in the Consecration Hall, and now specializes in guarding the East Palace. In his early years, he was also a disciple of the Xuanmen branch, and maybe he can still compete with you. Go to the same door.”
"My safety has always been protected by Mr. Hu. He is an elder I respect very much." The prince introduced at the side.
“I’ve met Mr. Hu.” Liang Yue didn’t dare to be scornful when he heard this, and replied politely: “This junior is a descendant of the Xuanmen sword-playing lineage, my mentor is Wang Rulin, and his Taoist name is Shouyi Zhenren.”
He As soon as he heard the news, he knew that it was an indispensable step for Xuanmen disciples to recognize relatives when they were away from home. If he could establish a relationship with this first-grade priest in the East Palace, his future safety would be greatly guaranteed, so he was very eager.
When Hu Delu heard this name, his face suddenly darkened, "He?"
"Mr. Hu recognizes my master..." Liang Yue said weakly when he saw that the situation was not good.
“Hmph.” Hu Delu snorted coldly, then suddenly turned around and left, then walked away on his own.
"..." Liang Yuexin couldn't tell, he looked like a victim.
It seems that in the future, you should be more careful when mentioning Master’s name when you go out.
Backstabbing the top of the list will inevitably lead to "a few enemies."
Fortunately, the prince did not care about these grievances and grievances. He led Liang Yue forward and said as he walked: "Today is your first time entering the palace, so you won't be allowed to accompany me to class. Master Xu is extremely strict. I'm afraid you will follow me." You will be scolded if you fail to do so. I will bring you the lessons I have learned recently. You can review them and come to class with me next time."
"Okay, the prince's arrangement is really thoughtful. ." Liang Yue agreed again.
Before he came, he specifically learned that the prince's chief teacher was Xu Zhan'ao, the Minister of Rites, a Confucian scholar who was born in the Kendo Academy and had very high academic attainments.
He has reached the pinnacle in national policy, economics and history, poetry, calligraphy and painting. A painting and calligraphy work titled "Xu Shangshu" on the market can be worth more than ten thousand taels at most.
But after he became a high-ranking official, in order to avoid suspicion of corruption, he no longer sold paintings and calligraphy to outsiders. This was considered a great loss to the literary world.
"It's not okay to be careless. You are my only reading companion. I'm afraid you will also be scolded by Master Xu." The prince said with a smile.
"Ah?" Liang Yue was a little surprised, "Am I the only one?"
"Yes." The prince smiled a little shyly, "Master Xu is already strict, and because of my status Specially, when Master Xu wants to scold me, he won’t say it directly, and he will attack the people around him. Even the previous companions couldn’t bear the pressure and ran away.”
Liang Yue secretly paid attention. This level of "harshness" may be more severe than you think.
Then the prince led Liang Yue to a place in the back garden.
This should be the horse farm of the East Palace, with a large open grassland in front of it, lush and green. There is a row of stables on the right, and there are more than ten horses with extraordinary blood tied in them, all of them have bright eyes and strong energy.
“Yesterday I heard that Liang Bandu came to the Imperial City from the south of the city. It’s a long journey, so I plan to give you a spirited horse to travel with.” The prince waved his hand, “Choose one of the horses here and ride away. "
"This is not good." Liang Yue immediately replied: "The prince has already given many rewards, and it is a great grace to invite me to accompany him. How can he receive more gifts?"
"Hey, why are you being polite to me?" The prince smiled with his chubby cheeks, and some flesh on his sides trembled. He looked very honest and honest, "These horses were given to me by others, and I usually can't ride them so much when I go out. , it costs a lot to feed, so Liang Bandu will raise one for me, and you will return it if I need to use it in the future."
He said so, and Liang Yue seemed to be disrespectful if he refused to accept it. , so I had to agree.
But he was a little frightened when he suddenly accepted the gift. I thought in my mind, I might as well choose the worst horse to prevent the prince from bleeding too much.
Every horse here is an extraordinary species. Some have dragon scales on their bodies, some have horns on their heads, and some have already developed thunder and lightning cloud patterns, which can release magical powers. Every time they breathe out of their noses, they will be filled with clouds and mist. Wandering, comparable to a Qi Refiner.
Liang Yue glanced around and spotted a horse lying on the ground in the corner and taking a nap.
The horses nearby are all vigorous and powerful, but it is the only one rolling around lazily, looking not full of energy. And it doesn't look weird at all, it just has a black mane and only four hooves are pure white, which looks a bit unique.
So Liang Yue pointed at it and said, "I want the sleeping one."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Everyone in the palace looked at the prince, and the prince's cheek twitched inexplicably.
Liang Yue realized that the wind was in the wrong direction and hurriedly said: "Ah, I made a mistake. I'll change it."
"No, Liang Bandu really has extraordinary eyesight!" The prince looked at Liang Yue's eyes were full of appreciation, "Is there anything in this world that you don't understand?"
"Huh?" Liang Yue showed a strange look.
"This snow-stepping dragon colt was given to me by the Northern God General three years ago. It is full of pure dragon blood, but it has no manifestation. It is easy to be mistaken." The prince introduced: "Only those who are truly knowledgeable can see it. When it comes out, all its spiritual energy is on its four hooves, and it is galloping like a cloud in the mist, and can travel eight thousand miles in a day!
Do I know what I am doing?
He said: "No, I'd better change it to another one. I can't take away what others like."
"No need!" The prince said: "The BMW is a gift to the hero. This snow-trotting dragon pony is here. I am not able to gallop in the palace, and I am worried about it every day. From now on, let him follow Liang Bandu and go out to explore!"
When he said this, you could see that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were drooping downwards, obviously he was extremely reluctant to give up.
But there are palace servants over there leading the horses out to prepare, and it is impossible to regret it.
......
Liang Yue couldn't help but panic when he saw this situation.
As the saying goes, if you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.
The prince's due thanks were all given yesterday. You are so enthusiastic today, don’t you have any trouble to leave to yourself?
This idea didn’t linger in my mind for long before I knew the answer.
After chatting for a while, after entering the main hall and taking a seat, the prince spoke again: "I won't beat around the bush with Liang Bandu. In fact, I have something here that only you can do. I don't know if you are willing." Don’t want to do me a favor.”
Sure enough, he came.
Liang Yue stood up and said: "Prince, just give me your orders and do your best in your humble duties."
"Since you prevented the Tower of Babel conspiracy, my father ordered the Yinma Supervisor to investigate him, including matters related to the Ministry of Works." The prince said: "I have no reason to intervene when it concerns the Ministry of Works, but as you are responsible for preventing this case, The biggest contributor to this case, it would be absolutely reasonable for him to cooperate and help."
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "I wonder if you are still willing to participate in this case and help me conduct a thorough investigation. Ministry?”
Good morning.
