Early landing in the world of martial arts

"Hey, it's normal for a busy person like Mr. Gu to forget this kind of thing. I heard that Mr. Gu handled another big case in the capital last night? It's really scary for young people."

Master Feng chuckled, his wrinkled old face was wrinkled and wrinkled when he smiled, making it a bit permeable.

"My lord, please don't blame me. After the next court, the younger generation will personally come forward to ask you to make amends."

Gu Changan apologized with a smile, but he kept complaining about the old guy's small belly in his heart.

"The temple in the old man's house is too small to accommodate the big Buddha, Mr. Gu. This time I came here just to see how sacred it is."

After Master Feng finished speaking, he signaled the driver to let the carriage drive forward, and the two carriages staggered.

After lowering the curtains of the car window, Master Feng's expression was a little gloomy.

"That old man Feng's temper is just so weird, you don't have to worry about it."

As soon as the carriage in front left, a slightly plain carriage followed.

"Old man Jin Youde, and the old man can be regarded as colleagues, if Mr. Gu does not dislike it, just call the old man Mr. Jin."

This time protruding from the window of the carriage is a smiling face full of harmony, which makes people feel like a spring breeze when they see it.

"I've seen Mr. Jin, the boy is very polite."

Gu Chang'an arched his hands.

I don't know why, when I faced Lord Feng just now, even though I felt a little slander in my heart, I didn't feel as uncomfortable as I did when I faced Lord Jin.

"Mr. Gu, if you encounter any difficulties when you come to the capital for the first time, you can come to me, Mr. Jin. Although there are many years between you and me, as officials in the same dynasty, mutual assistance and mutual benefit is the truth. What do you think?"

Jin Youde laughed and said, Gu Changan could only nod his head in agreement.

The former was about to say something more when suddenly a bell rang throughout the capital.

That was the clock chiming. When the bell rang, it represented that the Xuanwu Gate was about to open, and the officials of the major courts should also be ready to enter the court.

"Unfortunately, morning court seems to be a little earlier than usual today, Mr. Gu, why don't you go in with me?"

Jin Youde laughed.

He looked about the same age as Master Feng, and tremblingly got out of the carriage with the support of the coachman.

"No need, the boy is new here, how dare he walk side by side with the adults, let's go in last."

Gu Changan also got off the carriage, but Lord Jin beside him had not yet entered the Xuanwu Gate, which was occupied by a large number of court officials.

Only a few old men in big red robes entered calmly.

The imperial court did not stipulate that entry must be based on the rank of officials, but this has formed an unspoken rule in a subtle way.

"Gu boy, what are you talking about? Although this old man Jin said that his stomach is bad, you should still go in with us. Not for yourself, but also to make the emperor wait a little longer."

Lord Feng appeared behind Gu Changan at some point, and coughed.

Although he looks the same age as Jin Youde, his body is much tougher than the latter.

Gu Changan was in a dilemma, but many officials behind him just looked at the three of them, waiting to follow them in.

Gu Chang'an, who couldn't resist the two stubborn old men, could only nod his head, and followed the two elders into Xuanwumen.

"Gu Chang'an, this is your first time to face the saint. You have memorized how many steps there are in Xuanwu Gate. I hope that when you come back in the future, the number of steps will remain the same."

Master Feng suddenly said such a nonsensical sentence.

Gu Changan didn't understand what he meant, but he could only nod his head.

Under the Xuanwu sect, Gu Chang'an was unusually dressed in a black official uniform.

On the left and right sides is an old man in red robes.

All civil and military officials behind him are like a surging river entering an urn.

Chapter 243

Naturally, there are not only these two first-rank officials in the court, but most of them were sent to the states to monitor this year, and they were not in the court.

So much so that in the early dynasty, the first-rank Dahongpao is three or five big cats and kittens, gathered together, which is unique among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Although he yelled to go to the morning court, but the Holy Majesty hadn't come yet, the team seemed a little disorganized.

Among the few remaining senior officials, Lord Feng and Lord Jin are also high-ranking and powerful people.An aura unconsciously formed around them, surrounding the juniors, keeping a distance, but not too far away.

But at this time, Gu Changan was surrounded by such a group of old guys, like watching monkeys, pointing at each other and making comments from time to time.

"I heard that there will be a heroic son from Qingyang Prefecture. If he is really famous, it is better to meet him. Mr. Gu is very similar to when I was young."

The old man who was beside the blue-robed man looked him up and down.

"Master Hu was famous for his beautiful temples back then, but after all, the years are not forgiving. As the saying goes, how many heroes and beauties have gone to the Internet with white hair and chicken skin."

Mr. Jin was very supportive, as if no matter who the object was, he could follow the other party's words and praise that person to the sky.

"Boy, my name is Feng Yuesheng. I didn't tell you before. Don't get me wrong. I just looked down on you. I thought it was just relying on Xu Fengxian's name, but now I feel that you are a junior after all. I care too much about you. mean."

"The old man has a lot of beard, and the beauty is not something that was young in the past. It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Although he said so, Master Hu had a happy smile on his face.

As for the rest, the red-robed lord ignored Gu Changan, some fell asleep with their Chinese books in their hands, and some bowed or raised their heads, pretending to ignore them.

Most of them are in the imperial court and belong to the neutral faction. At this time, they don't know what the interests behind Gu Changan's entry into the city are, so they don't dare to get close to them indiscriminately, lest they will cause trouble if they say a few more words upper body.

As for Mr. Feng and his party, either they can be more casual in the court because of their high position and weight, or they are good at both sides. They are still standing by your side at this moment, and they may have drawn their blades at you the next moment.

Although there are thousands of civil and military personnel in the court hall, only the red and purple colors and the bright yellow on the throne control the court's movements.

"Hong, I met Mr. Gu."

At some point, the middle-aged man in the blue robe also mixed into a group of big red robes.

Some petty officials around were talking about it, but no one said anything to criticize. After all, the emperor hadn't come yet, and it was all up to the individual to get together in battle.

But the ordinary blue-robed officials never dared to get close to this group of bigwigs.

"Eh? Master Liu, who is that person? How dare he sneak into the circle of Master Feng? Could it be their younger generation?"

A newly-promoted official asked quietly to his peers around him.

"Hush! Silence! I don't know if you are new to court, but that one was also a Dahongpao back then."

The companion beside him quickly waved to interrupt the other party's questioning.

"what?"

The newcomer was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, and said quietly again.

"My little brother has just been transferred back from the border. The news is different. Can you give me some pointers?"

He only remembered that when he left, as long as he was an official in a red robe, he would either be rich and rich, and enjoy himself until his death.

Either committed a heinous crime, was relegated to the frontier and exiled into the army, or was pressed into the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

This is really the first time I have seen this demoted official.

After all, it has been done by a high official. Small crimes can't be committed, and there is some credit. Big crimes should have been invisible in the court by now.

"This person was standing with Mr. Jin named 'Smiling Tiger' at the beginning. This...you have heard of it?"

"Master Hong Yuelian, the green pine lion?"

The man was taken aback, and blurted out a name.

"That's right! My lord said something wrong in the court, and he was relegated to the third rank. Although it looks desolate, it is still easy to crush small ants like us."

The man looked pitifully at the turquoise official robe on his body, standing on top of the temple, he could only be at the end.

"Boy, I've seen Lord Hong! But after a day of seeing him, Lord's complexion has improved a lot."

Gu Changan laughed.

In yesterday's visit list, this person was among them, but it was beyond the expectation of the governor.

This person didn't wait for Gu Chang'an's visit, but took the initiative to visit Gu Chang'an with gifts from his entourage, and also asked about the comforter's physical condition.It seems that the relationship with the appeasement envoy is quite good.

"Master Tokin's blessing."

Hong Yuelian turned his head and glanced quietly at Jin Youde, who was still smiling.

Several people casually chatted for a few words, and then dispersed with the sound of the emperor.

Hong Yuelian was still standing in a pile of blue robes, with a tall and straight figure, and the standing posture of the first-rank officials was a little casual, after all, the age alone could not be considered too much.

As for Gu Chang'an, Feng Yuesheng arranged him to be on the side of a first-rank official.

The emperor was only forty years old, and he was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon and python robe, which set off his extraordinary prowess.

"Upon—"

The accompanying eunuch yelled, like a rooster that sang the world loudly, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up instantly, completely different from the previous appearance when they were waiting to go to court.

All the officials bowed down together and shouted long live.

The emperor waved his hand to signal his body, and his eyes glanced down first, and he saw Gu Chang'an in a solemn black dress amidst the colorful colors.

"This is Gu Chang'an, Mr. Gu, right? He is the Xuanjing envoy selected by Fengxian? Sure enough, he is very handsome, not inferior to his demeanor back then."

The emperor laughed.

Gu Changan also had good eyesight, and when he heard the emperor calling him, he took a step forward.

Listening before, you don't even need to bow down.Now meeting face to face is naturally a big gift.

Kneeling down, he said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, Gu Chang'an, Xuanjing Envoy of Qingyang Prefecture, pays homage to His Majesty."

When the rest of the court officials heard the emperor's words, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to think.

What does it mean not to lose the style of the year?

What Xu Fengxian, who was famous in white clothes, did to the one sitting on the throne now, is like a bright mirror in the hearts of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

But now Gu Changan has the same demeanor as the former, what does this mean?

Could it be that he is also a material for rebellion?

Other officials had such speculations, so Gu Changan naturally had this concern in his heart.

In the imperial city, after all, he is not the white clothes of the past.

If the emperor had evil thoughts for a moment, it would be just a sentence to keep him in the capital forever.

"What a handsome junior, how is Fengxian's health these days? The old problems of the past should not be repeated now..."

The emperor said softly.

Gu Changan's heart skipped a beat.

Chapter 244 Making things difficult and testing

Do not face the monarch.

Therefore, Gu Chang'an couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly, nor could he judge what the other party was thinking.

It was a little difficult to figure out for a while.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that Hong Yuelian had asked this question before. He didn't say what he had in mind, but when he asked, his expression was concerned.

Gu Chang calmed down, slightly revised his answer to Hong Yuelian, and then read it to the emperor again.

The latter nodded, and asked Gu Changan to go back, saying that he would announce his reward before going down to court.

"My dear friends, if you have a book, you can play it, and if you don't have a book, you can retreat from the court."

Afterwards, the emperor looked down and said loudly.

Among the ministers below, there are quite a few who are eager to try, but without exception, they dare not speak up because of Gu Changan's odd number.

"Your Majesty, I have an instruction book."

A person walked out from the group of third-rank officials in blue robes, who was standing beside Hong Yuelian earlier.

With a beard and a rough face, it is rare among officials to dress like this.

If he took off his official clothes, he would not look like an official. I am afraid that some people would believe that he was Butcher Zhang from the West Market.

"Oh? Du Aiqing, what is the beginning?"
