Chapter 216: Court trivia one two three

  Chapter 216 Trivia in court one two three

Chang'an City is very different tonight. Gu Qingci finally found a little bit of peace in this bustling Xiongcheng. He has been busy since the first step in this city not long ago. One night, he played the piano and watched the girl who had been full of youth leave slowly.

  Every time he stays with Tsing Yi, he feels very relaxed. This is felt from the depths of his soul. He no longer feels lonely, and Tsing Yi can always understand what he is thinking with a slight smile.

   "It's very rare to have a confidant in life!"

After playing the song, the figure in Tsing Yi disappeared into the thick night, and then he slowly turned around and entered the door with the piano in his arms. He didn't know that the moment he turned around, the figure in Tsing Yi slowly reappeared at the corner of Qingshi Lane. The smile seems to hold back the spring, a touch of calm, a touch of gentleness.

   This night, Gu Qingci slept soundly.

   This night, Tsing Yi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

In the early morning of the second day, the spring rain that had been lingering for several days suddenly stopped, and the beautiful sun suddenly came out from behind the rain. When the sun shone in Qingshi Lane, an oriole on the treetop called softly , and then flew away with fluttering arms, a carriage quietly set off from Qingshi Lane, and slowly drove towards the imperial city.

This time, Gu Qing resigned early and was not in a hurry. He had time to appreciate the most majestic palace in the world. City, a majestic pass standing in the center of Daxia.

Gu Qingci looked up at the majestic imperial city. On the scarlet city wall, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were like ink dots, with a flat expression. He couldn't help but marvel at those strong men who were hidden in the depths, and Gu Qingci could occasionally feel a little breath , How mighty Yan Bo was back then, able to walk directly into the imperial city one by one, if it weren't for Mr. Wu Que, perhaps today's Great Xia would be a different scene.

  Entered the city gate, got out of the carriage, and ran into an acquaintance head-on, Di Yun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.

  Gu Qing resigned first and said: "Master Di."

  Seeing Gu Qingci, Di Yun hastily returned the gift, saying: "Master Gu, good morning!"

   "Master Di earlier!"

  Gu Qingci smiled lightly, and walked up the long white marble stairs leading to the Jinluan Hall together with Di Yun.

Di Yun looked at Gu Qingci silently, and sighed in his heart, whether it is the vigor of a young man or the demeanor of a scholar, they all have an absolute performance in this young man. Suddenly, he felt as if he was really old .

Along the way, Gu Qingci once again saw the civil and military officials of Daxia. This time, he didn't look around like the last time. Instead, he looked at the people he saw with interest. These people, all of them They are the most powerful people in the Xia Kingdom, and behind each of them represents a turbulent force.

It is actually a very boring thing for a hundred officials to go to court. They are all high-ranking officials playing some trivial matters like the emperor, or some speech officials joined a certain official, or the emperor was arguing with people from Yushitai. , generally speaking, it is a group of people in a meeting, there is no difference.

Gu Qingci is not interested in these things, but he found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, there is still a clear path above the imperial court, and the biggest dividing line is the difference between civil and military. A certain general proposes a policy, but the civil servants disagree, or a certain speech officer reads a certain general's book, and then the general has to refute it.

The court of Xia Kingdom is also a very interesting court. The general style of generals is to speak with fists, and there will be people who roll up their sleeves and want to fight at every turn. However, the civil servants in this court are not weak at all. Sleeves, when they quarrel, are almost comparable to the vegetable market on Suzaku Street.

  The smaller ones, take the six departments of the imperial court as an example, each department is not in harmony with each other, and they will fight over some things.

  Emperor Xia was also very helpless sitting on the dragon chair, and he couldn't really make people fight, so he could only rely on authority to maintain the appearance of the court.

   After a long time, it finally became quiet. Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Gu Qingci stepped forward to accept the seal!"

  Gu Qingci knew it was his business, so he stood up.

  The father-in-law of the Yubi Supervisor took out the imperial decree that had been sorted out a long time ago, and began to speak some official words. It was nothing more than saying that Gu Qing resigned from Changling County to resist foreigners, and then asked for an decree for the soldiers. After some praise, it was a reward.

   "In view of Gu Qing's unwillingness to take up the post for the time being, I canonize Lantian County, a mansion, 3,000 acres of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold, thirty maidservants, and sixty servants, hereby!"

  The **** Xuanzhi handed over the imperial edict, Gu Qingci took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

In fact, Gu Qingci is not very clear about what kind of reward he should get, but he doesn't care, he doesn't think the emperor will fool him in this situation, and he is not very interested, so don't give it to him. It's all right, he didn't really want this credit.

  However, he could tell from the surprise in the eyes of some other courtiers that the reward given by Emperor Xia should be very good, otherwise, it wouldn't make those people jealous now.

In fact, what Gu Qingci didn’t know was that no matter which country it was, except for the fact that it might confer titles arbitrarily at the beginning of the founding of the country, as long as the country is stable, it’s not easy to get titles. two.

  Because titles are different from official positions, they can be hereditary.

  The title of title is divided into five classes. Every time it is inherited, it will drop by one class, but it is very stable. No matter how great the official position is, it cannot be said to be hereditary.

  After the issue of Gu Qingci’s canonization was finalized, the court meeting was basically over. Not long after, all the officials withdrew from the court. However, although Gu Qingci did not delay much, it was already noon when the morning court ended.

  Now in the court, the people who have dealt with Gu Qingci are actually only Di Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, and college students. However, after Gu Qing resigned from the Jinluan Palace, many courtiers said polite words, congratulations and so on.

   People who have sharp eyesight, enough is enough.

This approach is just to make people familiar. After all, Gu Qingci has only been knighted for only two decades now, and basically everyone knows that Gu Qingci has been determined to be Gu Qingci by default when he walks the world in Xia Kingdom, with unlimited potential. It is worth making friends.

   Although Gu Qingci doesn't like this kind of occasion, but as the saying goes, you don't reach out and don't hit people with smiling faces. He responds politely to everyone who greets him. However, he has already declined the invitation to be a guest.

The carriage drove slowly, walking on the street, the sun was shining brightly, it was warm, but also a little cold. This is a small alley, only a figure on the opposite side gradually became clear. After seeing the person coming, Gu Qingci frowned , said to the groom: "Stop."

  The groom is not Gu Qingci's servant, but Gu Qingci specially hired him. He turned around and said, "Is Mr. Gu going to get off the car here?"

  Gu Qingci nodded lightly, took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the groom, saying: "You go away first, I have something to do."

The groom took the money with hesitation in his eyes, but Gu Qingci had already left. He raised his head and looked at Gu Qingci's back, just in time to see the person in front of Gu Qingci walking out of the small alley. Suddenly, his expression changed. Changed, hurriedly pulled the carriage and left.

  Gu Qingci did not expect to meet this person on the way home—Xiao Yi, the chief executive of the big house!
