The rise of the poor

Chapter 317

In the middle of the night, the whole world is sleeping peacefully.

There was a rush of hoofbeats from the southeast of the capital, and the horses, dressed in uniforms, whizzed by. Under the cold moonlight, the cold light reflected from the waists of the soldiers and horses could be faintly seen.

It was already midnight at this time, and the entire capital was under night ban. The guards of the Nancheng Bingma Division set up fences at the intersections of the streets, and patrolled the streets at night with weapons and sticks. No one was allowed to pass.

Just as the soldiers and guards of the Nancheng Bingma Division were about to find a place sheltered from the wind and drink some wine to warm up, they heard a rush of horseshoes getting closer, and soon saw a group of people riding their horses. , one of them speeded up his horse and galloped over, with spring knives embroidered on his waist and hips, and a token with tassels in his hand.

"Jin Yiwei is on an errand according to the order, open the way quickly!" The Jin Yiwei who came on horseback, holding a token, shouted at the night patrol guard of the Nancheng Bingma Division.

Nancheng Bingma Division was in charge of patrolling the night tonight with a small flag, a total of more than ten people. The small flag officer who led the team saw the token with tassels in the guard's hand, his face turned pale, and he was shocked. This kind of token is not an ordinary Jinyiwei token. He glanced at the Jinyiwei team from a distance, and vaguely saw a big man in a bullfight suit surrounded by Jinyiwei. Remove things that block the way.

In the old system of Ming Dynasty, the first rank of bullfighting, the second rank of flying fish, the third rank of python, the fourth and fifth rank of unicorn, the sixth and seventh rank of tiger and buffalo, this bullfighting uniform, doesn't it mean that the master came in person? !
The little flag officer didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ordered his soldiers to clear the road, but the more anxious the more chaos, and because the fence was too heavy, the people from Nancheng Bingmasi were in a hurry, and they didn't move the fence properly.

"cough"

The Jin Yiwei at the back also gradually approached, and the man in his forties who was surrounded by a bullfight uniform coughed lightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with the situation in front of him.

Hearing the sound of coughing, Jin Yiwei, who was holding the token, was shocked.Without even thinking about it, he put the token in his arms and flew off the horse like a big bird, as if the toes hadn't touched the ground yet.Then he jumped up again, and the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, and he came to the crowd of Nancheng soldiers and horses carrying the fence.

"rise!"

The Jin Yiwei let out a low growl, with blue veins flashing on his forehead. Under the surprised eyes of Nancheng soldier Ma Sibingwei, he grabbed the entire fence, and with a strong wrist, he pushed it to the side of the road with several soldiers.

The Jinyiwei team behind didn't even look at it, so they rode their horses along the gap and passed the intersection.

Immediately afterwards, the Jin Yiwei who opened the way also got on his horse and chased after him.

In fact, it only took a minute or two from the time when the Jin Yiwei showed his token to when he roared away.

The people from Nancheng Bingmasi, who were watching the night at the street, watched the pair of Jinyiwei whizzing by, and didn't react for a while, until two unlucky guys who were pushed to the side of the road together with the fence touched their feet and yelled twice. Sound, these talents just reacted.

"Head, what is Jin Yiwei doing under orders in the middle of the night?" Someone looked at the back of Jin Yiwei whizzing by.asked a sentence.

"If you don't want to die, don't ask!"

The little flag officer gave the man a hard look, and then ordered his subordinates to clean up the road thoroughly. Those masters who failed to keep it all had to go back. Who knows what kind of imperial mission this master is running. In this dynasty, Jin Yiwei is extremely powerful. Much more powerful than Dongchang, I dare not touch the bad luck of these people.

Not long after, a group of uninvited guests came to Nanshun Tiangong Courtyard in the capital city, and it was this group of Jinyiwei who rode horses from the street.

According to the rules of the Gongyuan, in order to maintain the fairness and seriousness of the imperial examinations, after the examination begins, that is, after the candidates enter the venue, the gate of the examination room will be tightly locked, and it will not be opened until the candidates start to leave after the examination, except for the examinees. Can't enter or leave, and it will be closed again after the candidates leave the field, this time it will not be opened until the examination papers are finished and the rankings are ranked.

I thought that Jin Yiwei would be deflated, but when Jin Yiwei showed a handbook, the Gongyuan opened the door.

"Stay at the door. Don't let a single ant crawl out without my order!"

The middle-aged man in the bullfighting uniform among Jin Yiwei, accompanied by several Jin Yiwei, entered the Shuntian Gongyuan, and gave instructions to the accompanying subordinates.This middle-aged man in a bullfighting suit is in his forties, tall and tall, giving off a strong and brave feeling. His skin color is different from ordinary people, as if there is a fire inside his body. Like a crane.

Therefore, the accompanying Jinyiwei sent several people to guard the gate of the Gongyuan with embroidered spring knives in their hands, faithfully performing their duties.

"Master Lu came in person late at night, and sometimes he was greeted from afar, and sometimes he was greeted from afar."

Xu Jie, Yan Maoqing and other examiners in the Zhigong Hall, when they saw the visitor, quickly got up from their seats and greeted him.

Why didn't Xu Jie, Yan Maoqing and others come forward to greet them? It's not easy to come here. This is a famous person beside the current emperor, and he is also the biggest leader of Jinyiwei who is powerful and in charge of prisons. Jinyiwei is in command of Shi Lubing.This person is not only as simple as being high and powerful, this person is extremely smart, but also proficient in political tactics, very skillful, Jin Yiwei has been carried forward in his hands.In the past, Dongchang suppressed Jinyiwei and shouted at Jinyiwei, but in Lu Bing's hands, Jinyiwei in turn overwhelmed Dongchang.The factory supervisor of the East Factory would kneel when he saw Lu Bing.He said that Jin Yiwei's construction was watertight, permeating the entire Ming Dynasty, and whenever there was any trouble, he would know it as soon as possible.Not only that, Lu Bing has an unusual relationship with the current emperor. Lu Bing is the son of Emperor Jiajing's nanny, and the two grew up eating the same milk. Lu Bing grew up with Emperor Jiajing and was deeply trusted by Emperor Jiajing.

In addition, Lu Bing was also the savior of Emperor Jiajing. In the 18th year of Jiajing, it was rare for Emperor Jiajing not to practice alchemy. He went out of the capital to inspect the world.When we visited Henan, one night, for some unknown reason, Emperor Jiajing’s palace caught fire, and the raging flames engulfed the palace in an instant. The dead fellow Taoists did not die, and all the accompanying officials and guards fled for their lives. .Only one person not only did not escape, but bravely rushed into the sea of ​​fire wrapped in a wet quilt, and rescued the disgraced Emperor Jiajing who was half-dead from fright without thinking about his own life.When escaping from the flames, Lu Bing was burned, but Emperor Jiajing didn't burn even a hair. Lu Bing's act of sacrificing his life for the savior was too obvious compared with the fleeing official guards.Why didn't Emperor Jiajing dare to move, why didn't he favor him, so he continued to promote Lu Bing to the highest rank of Jinyiwei.

The individual is in a mess, the emperor's favorite is in a mess, and his subordinates are in a mess, how can the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty not be afraid.

Therefore, whether it was Xu Jie, Yan Maoqing or the others, they all got up and greeted them, saying all kinds of polite words in their mouths.

"My lord Xu, my lord Yan, your lords have done a lot of hard work in reviewing the papers, and my lord has ordered me to come and condolences to you all."

Lu Bing did not put on airs at all, and greeted Xu Jie and others with a smile and a very polite greeting.

"Where is it, Mr. Lu has to go on business late at night, and it is hard work." Xu Jie and others said politely.

After a few simple words of politeness, Lu Bingyan returned to the subject and asked Xu Jie and the others, "I don't know how your lords are doing with the examination papers this time. Your Majesty has been studying for several days."

"What a coincidence, the grading has just ended, and the draft list has just been filled out." Xu Jie replied with a smile.

The examiner at the back put the filled draft list and the top ten Zhu Juan together in a paper bag with various seals, and at Xu Jie's signal, handed both hands to Lu Bing.

"Then I won't bother you. The Holy Majesty is still waiting for his return. I believe that you can go home and rest comfortably tomorrow." After Lu Bing took the paper bag, he cupped his hands and asked Xu Jie and the others. people say goodbye.

After Lu Bing left Shuntian Gongyuan, he rode his horse non-stop to Xiyuan, where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy. Shuntian Gongyuan closed the door again and locked the keys, waiting for Emperor Jiajing's approval tomorrow. It also completely ended the mission of the test, and you can go back to each house and find your mother.
