Chapter 93: Behind the Award
When I came back from Youwuwei in the morning, I found that the gate of the palace was open. The boy who usually came out to lead the horse looked panicked. When he came out to greet me, he almost stumbled over the threshold. The atmosphere was very wrong.
As soon as he came up, he reported to me: "Little Marquis, please go to the main hall quickly, a big shot is coming."
"Oh?" I don't know who is coming, but the main door, which has not been opened for a long time, is so wide open to welcome him. The etiquette requirements in the early Tang Dynasty were not as strict as those after the Song Dynasty, unless it was a large-scale memorial ceremony such as welcoming the door god during the New Year.
There are not many times when you need to open the front door to greet people. When visiting relatives and friends, no matter how noble your status is (except for official visits from superiors or personal visits by powerful royal figures), you have to enter through the side door. It’s not that the host doesn’t respect the guests, it’s just that
Just tradition.
I hurriedly entered the main hall. There were several old men sitting inside, all wearing official uniforms. Judging from my experience in the Tang Dynasty for nearly a year, I couldn't tell why. Guang Jianying was cautiously supporting me. He saw me coming in.
, several people stood up and bowed their hands to me in a polite manner. When Ying saw me coming back, she came over and whispered: "The distinguished guests from the imperial court who have come to honor your husband, please don't neglect me. I am leaving." After that, Ying handed over to the guest.
Everyone bowed, apologized, and went out dignifiedly.
A gray-haired man in his fifties asked kindly with a smile on his face: "Is this Mr. Wang Xiu of Cangwu County? I'm Shangguan Yi. These guys are secretaries, superintendents, and important attendants," he said.
As soon as he introduced me, "This is Mr. Liu Wu Liu, Mr. Zhang Shuchang Zhang..."
No need to think about it, no matter who comes here, they are all big guys who can't be offended. Especially this old uncle with a friendly face named Shangguan Yi, who is currently Zhongshu Ling and a powerful figure of the third rank. In a few years, he will have to fight with Wu.
The empress is a celebrity who is trying to fight with others. No matter who she is, she should greet her respectfully and say nothing, "I've met Uncle Shangguan, I've met Uncle Liu, I've met Uncle XX..." Juniors have this advantage, no matter what.
No matter how big or small the official position is, when you go up, you don't shout about your job title. You first call him uncle or uncle affectionately and close the distance first. It means that there is something wrong behind him, and they can't bear to have trouble with a junior.
Sure enough, several big guys took great advantage of me by calling me names. Some of them squinted their eyes and smiled, smoothed their beards and nodded, and there was also a fat old man with white skin who kept slapping his eyes at me, which made people feel bad.
Liang. He has a beard, but he’s not a eunuch. How come he has this hobby? Since it’s a reward, why don’t the legendary eunuchs appear? There are several old men competing with each other in their long beards. Isn’t it the same father-in-law who has won the title on TV?
He shouted softly: "Pass the imperial edict, xxx will receive the edict, is this the case?"
After being seated, Shangguan Yi still looked friendly and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Wang Xian's nephew is a great talent, military and military strategy, and full of knowledge. When I saw him today, he was indeed a young talent with extraordinary appearance. Today, the Holy Lord issued an edict.
The reward is for you. I and several colleagues boldly accepted this assignment. My nephew, please accept the reward first, so as not to let down the good intentions of the Holy One."
How to do it when receiving orders? I haven't accepted this thing yet. Do you want to kneel down to receive the incense table as shown on TV? It's unreliable. Since I came to the Tang Dynasty, I have found that everything is different from what was shown on TV. If you do something different, it will be a joke.
It doesn't matter, what should I do if I take him out and chop him off? He stood up and was stunned for a long time. He was at a loss and had no idea.
"Haha..." When several big bosses saw my embarrassment, they saw the clues and looked at each other and laughed, "Don't panic, don't panic. Not everyone can get this grace from the Holy One. I am in the court."
For many years, I have not been blessed with a good nephew." Shangguan Yi stood up with a smile, turned to the fat old man and said: "Brother Chonglian, you are the most qualified here, could you please give some advice to my good nephew so that I can make friends with you?
Got an errand."
"Don't dare, don't dare." The fat uncle stood up with a smile, moved a chair and set it up, and called me over. "It's just a reward, not a decree drawn up by the Holy Father. There is no need to change the official uniform, that's all." He pointed out.
Pointing to the chair: "Sit down, sit up straight, lift your chin, okay."
It sounded familiar, so I waited for him to say "eggplant". Everyone was very friendly, and it wasn't as scary as I thought. I just took a photo of him. Thinking of this, I felt relieved.
The fat uncle suddenly looked serious and nodded to Shangguan Yi, "Brother You Shao, please ask for the Holy Order." After saying that, he took a few steps away and stood with his hands down. The other three people also stood up respectfully, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Shangguan Yi carefully opened the sandalwood box on the table, took out a brocade scroll with both hands, and the kind eyes that had just come out suddenly made me shiver. Her soft and friendly voice became sonorous and powerful,
The imperial edict was read word for word.
Although the old man Shangguan read very hard, and his words were as clear and eloquent as talking about the Yangtze River, the terrifying official script was not something that a science student with my level of education could understand. As expected, it was not written by the emperor himself. It was too long, who
The emperor was so busy writing this game that he vaguely felt that it meant praise. It seemed that he had been praising me ever since Wang Xiu's generation, and it has been praising me. It probably means that I am credited with inventing the sand table, which makes it easier for soldiers to kill the enemy.
As for the formula of offering fire yao, there was no mention of it, probably to keep it a secret. It seems that Lian Ying also passed along a few words and gave him a title or something. Anyway, it is more tiring than the English listening test.
"Nephew Wang Xian, why are you so dumbfounded? I accepted the decree and thanked the Holy One for his grace." Shangguanyi rolled up the decree and put it in a box and handed it to me. She turned me around and bowed a few times in one direction, "Wang Xian
My nephew is now the 'Uncle of County County', and my wife has also been granted a fourth-grade imperial title, as well as my parents, so I can be said to be a proud ancestor. Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Then I ask my wife to come out and thank you?" When I was a child, I remember hearing a play about a domineering wife named Gaoming who was beheaded by a small county magistrate, so I was disgusted by the name "Gaoming" since I was a child. Unexpectedly
His wife has now become Mrs. Gaoming, and she was caught off guard.
"No, husband and wife are one. When you accept the decree, isn't it the same as when your wife accepts the decree?" Shangguan Yi smiled, took my arm and came to a few old uncles, "They said they were imperial officials, but actually
They are all people who devote themselves to learning. Unlike me, who is obsessed with power and officials all day long, he has long neglected his knowledge." He laughed a few times at himself, "Today, one is to convey the decree, and the other is to acknowledge it.
Let’s go to the door and meet people so that we can get close to each other and teach each other.”
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" My nephew is determined to be a disciple in the future. "After hearing that Shangguan Yi was able to say that he was addicted to official career without hesitation, I couldn't help but admire his magnanimity. This is what makes him proud.
The important person in charge is much better than those sneaky hypocrites. He won my favor with just a few words. Historically, he once took the blame for Li Zhi's post-abolition, and even killed him without any complaints.
Wu Zetian all admired his talent, learning and courage, and repeatedly exclaimed, "Is there any more cutscenes?" I asked carefully, feeling that receiving the imperial edict was a big event, and it wouldn't end so hastily, right?
"Come down," the fat white uncle paused here. "According to the rules, the person delivering the imperial decree has no reason to go out empty-handed." He turned around and made eye contact with several people, and said in a long voice: "What do you think? You Shao
Brother?"
"Haha..." Several old men laughed wildly. Shangguan Yi coughed with laughter and pointed at his nose and said: "Brother Chong Lian has the nerve to speak, and shamelessly comes to issue the decree, and then even blackmails him, so he is not afraid of the censor.
Taiwanese old man Hu Shen gave you a copy?"
"Don't mention Lao Hu. I saw him coming out when I was visiting Fuxiangzhai the day before yesterday. Seeing that the imperial censor was so interested, I hurried forward to say hello. The old guy pretended not to know me and ran away."
, the fat white uncle had a bad smile on his face, "Since that time, he has avoided me when he saw me, and even drove his car into the alley several times, haha...haha..."
