Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 150
"Master, it's time for you to get up!" Zhang Hu knocked hard on Chu Ci's door, afraid that he would not wake up.It is marked on the calendar that today is the morning court.
Chu Ci got under the quilt, covered his ears with a pillow, and continued to sleep soundly.
Kou Jing, who was on the next bed, rolled over and got out of bed, tore off Chu Ci's quilt, and pushed him: "Brother Ci, wake up, wake up, there is a grand ceremony today."
"Sleep for a while..." Chu Ci turned over and lay down on the bed, not wanting to get up.He visited home yesterday, and after dinner, he chatted with Wen Hai and Mrs. Wen for a long time, and hurried back home before the curfew.
Because of his high spirits, Chu Ci never fell asleep, and Kou Jing, who was on the bed next to him, chatted until late.Now suddenly asked him to get up, of course he can't get up.
Kou Jing couldn't help it, he got up and put on his clothes, then picked up the torch and lit the candle.
He opened the door and said to Zhang Hu: "Dahu, you go and prepare breakfast and other things first, and he will get up later."
Zhang Hu nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to get something.
Kou Jing went outside to fetch a basin of water, then soaked the veil and wrung it dry, took it in her hand, turned Chu Ci who was lying on the bed with her other hand, put the veil directly on his face and rubbed it .
"Wake up, wake up!" Chu Ci cried out sadly, pushed away the veil on his face, opened his sleepy eyes, tried to get up from the bed, and put on the clothes Kou Jing handed over as if wandering.
After tidying himself up, Chu Ci felt that he really woke up.
"Brother Jing, you have to get up so early even if you're tired." Chu Ci held a bowl of porridge in his hand, looked at Kou Jing who was sitting at the table helping him peel eggs, and said shyly.
"It's okay, as usual, I should get up in a while."
Although Kou Jing's official title is from the fifth rank, but he is a military post, so he doesn't need to go to the court.
After eating, Chu Ci took his things and stepped into the carriage.Zhang Hu hung the lantern in his hand on the carriage, then yelled, and drove the carriage to the main entrance of the palace to wait.
It was around four o'clock in the morning at this time, and there was no other light in the surroundings except for the faint yellow candlelight on the carriage. Occasionally, a carriage from another family passed by, breaking the loneliness that shrouded the surroundings.
Chu Ci lifted the curtain and looked at the starry sky.If someone wants to ask him at this time, have you ever seen the capital at four o'clock in the morning?Then he can proudly answer that he has, and from today on, he can meet once every ten days!
The Great Dynasty was set on the fifth day of the fifth month. The fifth day of May last time was canceled in advance because of the Duanyang Festival, so the Ci of Chu was not completed.Today is the first time he has attended the morning court since he became an official, and he was a little excited when he said it.
After walking for about half an hour, Chu Ci came to the main gate of the palace.
There are already many officials standing here, and everyone is scattered, chatting here and there.Chu Ci looked around in a daze, and found that he didn't see any acquaintances except them offering wine, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
In fact, he can't say that he doesn't know anyone. For example, Mr. Zhang Songnian, the teacher of the rural examination, Mr. Mu Yuanxiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Mr. Wen, who just met yesterday, can all be regarded as his acquaintances, but they and others He is unfamiliar.He is a sixth-rank official, if he goes up to say hello to them, he will definitely attract criticism. Why don't he just stay in the area where the sixth-rank officials stand and see if he can make friends with the court. Someone speaks.
Chu Ci was like a radar, trying to send a friendly signal to the officials standing alone.With his efforts, finally a person came over.
This person looks gentle, and he should have been an official for a few years.He slowly walked up to Chu Ci, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "My lord, have we met before?" He didn't know why, Chu Ci always stared at him.
"No, but it's fate to meet each other. I didn't know each other before, but I can get to know each other today. My name is Chu Ci, and my name is Huaijin. I am currently the Secretary of the Imperial College. Dare I ask my brother Gao's name?" Chu Ci said with a smile.
"I don't dare to do it. My surname is Ye Minghang, and my name is Xingzhou. I am currently the deputy of Qin Tianjian."
Qin Tianjian, a group of ancient astronomers, although they don't have precise instruments, they can still observe celestial phenomena, formulate calendars, and can predict more accurately.
What's more funny is that Qin Tianjian is usually related to the god stick, but he doesn't know that he is a real scientist.
Moreover, the position of Qin Tianjian is generally hereditary, and the supervisor cannot be transferred to another official, and the officials there cannot be promoted unless there are special circumstances.
"Brother Chu, are you the number one scholar in this discipline?"
"It's down."
"I have admired him for a long time, and I have read Brother Chu's masterpiece. I am so lucky to meet a real person today."
"Haha, brother Ye has won the prize."
While the two were chatting, suddenly a eunuch came out from the palace gate and asked them to line up according to their ranks, because the Holy Majesty would be summoned soon.
Naturally, the two ministers on the left and right stood at the top, then the third gentleman, then the third scholar, and then the six ministers and others.A sixth-rank official like Chu Ci is naturally at the bottom.
At the right time, the gate of the palace was wide open, and the officials lined up and filed in.Walk through the long aisle, cross the wide square, and then come to the Golden Luan Hall, waiting for the emperor to visit.
Oh, no, I was wrong, Chu Ci was standing outside the Golden Luan Hall.
He was a little confused, how could he stand outside the hall and listen?So what can he hear?
But if you think about it, every time there is a great dynasty, officials of the sixth rank and above in the capital must participate. Once this number of people is counted, it will be terrible.Although the Golden Luan Hall was big, they couldn't force their way in, so they could only stand outside bitterly.
Chu Ci thought, fortunately there are still people lined up in the corridor. If you are standing outdoors, the summer sun is hot and the winter wind is cold, it is really unbearable.
They waited for about a quarter of an hour, and finally heard the kind voice of the chief eunuch.
"The Emperor is here."
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The ministers knelt down in unison and shouted long live.
"Loves are free from courtesy," said the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"If you have something to play, you can leave the court if you have nothing to do." The voice of the chief eunuch sounded again.
"I have a book to play..."
"I have a book to play..."
The world has been peaceful recently, and nothing major has happened, so these ministers reported on small things, which can be regarded as following the procedure, so that the once-in-ten-day court will not appear so deserted.
Chu Ci secretly yawned a few times.These ministers are chattering, and they have to write so much about things that can be clearly stated in two or three sentences, and they still hide it. Often a few sentences can't get to the point, which makes people want to sleep.Can you have some exciting news to relieve your fatigue?
"I have a book to play. I heard that the new Si Yeke of the Guozijian treated the students and misappropriated the funds allocated by the household department to the canteen for other purposes, causing the students to starve. These behaviors are really bad. I hope that the Holy One will severely punish them. Loan, as an example to others."
"..." Chu Ci choked speechlessly, his broken mouth!
Chu Ci got under the quilt, covered his ears with a pillow, and continued to sleep soundly.
Kou Jing, who was on the next bed, rolled over and got out of bed, tore off Chu Ci's quilt, and pushed him: "Brother Ci, wake up, wake up, there is a grand ceremony today."
