Chapter 274: See you in Jin (Part 2)
Zhang Yi quickly returned the gift. He did not dare to sway these two scholars who were valued by the master, nor did he dare to put on airs. He had always smiled, but at this moment he smiled more and more intimately, and he kept saying, "I dare not!"
While chatting and laughing, the three of them entered, and the guy had already left.
Once inside, Zhang Yi no longer beat around the bush and said his future intention: "Both gentlemen came from home, and Mr. He traveled thousands of miles, and the journey was hard."
"My master is grateful to the two who are diligent in the affairs of the king. They sent me to send Cheng Yi. The master said that this little money is nothing. Although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, this is water. It is not easy to live in Jinling City and the expenses are high. The two of them will meet the saints in the future. If you have any questions, you must be decent."
He spoke very directly and readily, and had a generous attitude. As he said, the two servants took out the two silvers and handed them over to the hands of the two. They did not postpone and hurriedly thanked Zhang Yi.
After Zhang Yi finished his work, he bowed and said goodbye.
Zhang Yi went out, and each of them had a silver letter. He tore it apart and saw that it was all snow-white silver ingots, five taels each, and ten letters each.
Just as I was about to joke, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.
After a while, the guided man returned to the courtyard, ran directly to the door, and shouted inside: "Mr. He, Mr. Ma, there is a father-in-law from the palace who comes to find two!"
When he heard what the clerk said, Congratulations and Ma Yuan were stunned, even Zhang Yi, who was about to leave, was stunned.
"Two gentlemen, listen to the sound. Someone in the palace is coming here. You should go out to greet me!" Listening to the sound of noise, Zhang Yi came back and said with a reminder.
The Condor and Ma Yuan looked at each other, nodded and walked outward. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they happened to see a group of people coming over.
It can be seen that following behind was watching the fun. A few soldiers wearing armored clothes walking in front of them, protecting a white-faced man, came to them.
As soon as the white-faced man opened his mouth, he heard that he was a eunuch in the palace, with a sharp voice and a smile on his face.
"Oh, butler Zhang is here too?" The eunuch obviously knew Zhang Yi, and he glanced at him and said immediately.
Zhang Yi looked at the person coming and bowed quickly: "It turns out it's Eunuch Qian, the villain has seen Eunuch Qian!"
Zhang Yi was the steward of the prime minister's family and recognized this person. This man was the grandfather Qian who often came to the mansion to call people or pass the imperial edict. He had a ninth-rank official.
"Butler Zhang is so polite. I wanted to talk to you a few more words, but the Sa family is here this time, but there is an order!" As he said that, Eunuch Qian looked at the two who were rushing over and asked, "Are you congratulatory letters and Ma Yuan?"
The two of them came over and agreed to the promise: "That's right!"
At this time, the inn owner and the shopkeeper received news that there was a eunuch from the palace who came to pass the order to the two guests in the inn.
This was the first time that the inn was issued an order in their inn. When the inn owner and shopkeeper heard this, they were even more excited than the person involved. After a moment, they didn't know how to know, they even created a simple incense case for them.
Eunuch Qian nodded and stood south behind the incense table: "Congratulations, Ma Yuan obeys the order!"
"Congratulations, listen to the decree!"
"Ma Yuan, listen to the sage!"
At this time, no matter who was present, they knelt down with a "bang".
Eunuch Qian read the oral order: "The king has an order, a congratulatory letter, Ma Yuan, has always been knowledgeable, and he ordered him to see him immediately, and I admire him!"
Not only did the two understand, but the people kneeling in the distance could understand.
The people didn't know about the inner city a few days ago. Although they heard the rumors, they only smiled. Now they only felt that these two were really great. Ju Neng was known by the king and summoned.
At this time, a face with a national character hidden in the crowd changed color slightly after hearing this.
The man's eyes were locked in the eunuch who was sent to the order, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but in the end he found nothing.
Someone had prepared a carriage for them in the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan. After leaving the hotel, Eunuch Qian got on a carriage, and the two got on a carriage. A dozen riders were sick to protect them. They left the Caijia Inn and headed towards the inner city.
There was nothing to say along the way. When the group arrived at the palace gate, the sun rose to the heights. They stopped at the palace gate for a while. Someone came to check and saw that it was the person summoned by the king and quickly let it go.
Walking down into the palace, when you enter the palace, you will see a large group of eunuchs and palace maids saluting Eunuch Qian. The two of them dared not go over and look at each other, and waited without saying a word. After a while, they entered another palace.
It was snowing again at this time, and snow particles were falling scattered with the wind. At this moment, a thin layer was laid on the ground. Even so, the yellow glazed tiles in the hall and the copper cranes and bronze unicorns in the courtyard were still luxurious.
At this time, Eunuch Qian stopped joking and took the two of them to the same place with a blank face.
There is a hall here, not big, but I have received more than a few dozen people. At this time, Eunuch Qian ordered: "Don't lose your etiquette when you get in the hall!"
The two responded, but suddenly felt that their legs were a little weak. This was the palace!
After following into the hall, the ground was filled with gold bricks that could be seen, and it was decorated with magnificent royal aura. I followed it carefully and entered the study room behind.
Before entering, I couldn't tell that there were so many books inside, which looked antique, with less luxury and more elegant decorations.
The brazier was placed against the corner of the wall inside, and the burning sounded, and the incense burned in the incense burner, and the whole room was filled with a refreshing and warm fragrance.
There were eight eunuchs standing in the study, none of whom were looking squinted.
"Two gentlemen, please wait here. The king will come over after a while." Eunuch Qian said, asking them to wait here.
No matter how bold the two of them were, they could only turn to promise at this time.
Although they were reluctant to watch the decorations in the room, they did not dare to watch them randomly. This is not a place to be stubborn.
On the way, Eunuch Qian and the two chatted briefly for a while, and they all talked about trivial matters, without a single word involved politics, but finally spoke.
When I entered the study, I saw that Mr. Qian stood with his hands hanging down, no longer showing any signs of chatting and laughing.
In the corridor not far away, footsteps came from time to time. This was the sound of patrol guards. There were several guards standing at the door, all of whom were serious and motionless.
There was also a corridor outside, and there were palace maids and eunuchs standing there. Looking at this, the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan felt that the aura condensed by the ten years of hard work in the school was nothing here. Just as he was thinking, he heard a sound of footsteps outside. He heard the sound, and it was not the guard who came over.
The voices of the guards were already familiar with them, and they were neat and tidy. Every step was very standard.
The footsteps this time were light and heavy, and fast and slow.
At this time, Congratulations and Ma Yuan both raised their heads and looked at each other.
"I have seen the king!" As the greetings came one after another, Mr. Qian took a small step to greet him, and went over to salute him while the person came in.
"Get up, the person has been invited?" asked the man who came in, his eyes falling in front of him.
At this time, He Xin and Ma Yuan were also observing the person coming in. Although they were just having a meeting time, they had already seen it clearly in the future.
The two of them suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they saw the king wearing a yellow robe, a pair of thick boots under his feet, and a red belt tied around his waist. His eyes were deep. Before he could think about it, he immediately knelt down and bowed.
Wang Hongyi walked past them, sat in front of the desk and pulled out the pen holder as usual. At this time, an eunuch immediately stepped forward and grinded the ink. Then he said lightly: "Two gentlemen, please don't give me a favor."
"Thank you, the king!" Congratulations and Ma Yuan thanked you for your kindness, stood up, but thought to himself that this king is young. He heard that he is only twenty-four years old this year, and he has swept half of the world at this age. It is unheard of in history. If he could unify the world within a few years, this alone would be famous for his eternity.
The snow light was hurting the eyes, and the lights were lit again. The lights were bright and soft. Wang Hongyi looked at the two people in front of him and nodded slightly, only in Wang Hongyi's eyes.
On the top of the congratulatory letter, a trace of white and red air rushed straight upwards, and was strong and straight. This was the spirit of loyal advice, and the character was strong.
The aura on Ma Yuan's top was much softer, with white air lingering and slightly red. This is the aura of culture, which means that this person has a moderate personality and is extremely aware of people.
But when he looked at it this way, he still had some style and foundation. Wang Hongyi smiled. Seeing that the ink was polished, he picked up the pen and wrote it on the white pride.
"Determine rules and form dimensions to measure all things, record them in detail, summarize them in summary, and follow them in a way, so it is said to have attained the Tao."
"The Tao is the ritual of the sky, which first divides yin and yang, and then divides the virtues of the emperor. The heart of the heaven and the fate are not allowed to be made. The virtues of the whole world are connected, and the same heart is the country's destiny."
"In virtue is not in people, virtue is always there and people alternate, so the old virtue is always there, and the new virtue is full of prosperity."
After writing, I browsed it again under the lamp. I was very satisfied. My words improved a little. I took out a small seal from my arms, put it on, rolled it up, and started asking some questions.
Although I asked casually, it was not a big deal, but the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan still sweated.
The two of them didn't stay in the study for a long time. Wang Hongyi asked a few questions and said, "I want to open a palace school, so I call it a study. I need several teachers to teach elementary school. You have good knowledge. Let's just add it. Remember to only open elementary school and not teach it privately, so as not to cause you a big disaster."
The two of them were sweating coldly and kneeled down with a "slap": "I dare not!"
Wang Hongyi didn't scream, and stood up and paced. This was not to invite the prince's tutor, nor the grand tutor's guarantor. This was just enlightenment. I hope these two people could understand this. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Get up, you can enter the palace to enlighten me. You can't be without a title. I will give you the official position of the ninth-rank Rulin Lang, and you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. I will have to eat. You should step down!"
By the way, Wang Hongyi was still weak and could not be in charge of the same position as before. When he saw the cabinet in the morning, he also said a few words before coming back. Now he waved his hand.
The two of them quickly knelt three times and kowtowed nine times and left the study room.
When they got outside, they were hit by snow, and the two of them woke up from a big dream and looked at each other in a glance.
At this time, Mr. Qian came out again and gave the two people a small bag, saying, "This is a palace sign for provoking your body and entering and leaving. Be careful, don't lose it, and go and take the official uniform!"
Another eunuch was led out.
The two responded and followed the eunuch out. The snowflakes grew bigger, and the white jade railings and towering palaces were piled up. The nine gates were erected with guards on duty. They all became snowmen, standing in the snow without moving.
