I came from heaven [traveling]

After tidying up the official uniform on my body, I went back to the main hall of the pavilion, walked to Li Gongdu's desk with a little excitement, and said politely: "Master Gongdu, there are many rules and regulations in the palace pavilion. I don’t understand, please explain more.”

Seeing that I was so humble, Li Gongdu naturally greeted me with a smile, waved his hands and replied: "Zi Jiang, don't be so polite, you have entered my Chuanggong Pavilion, you only need to focus on the construction. "

"Then today I'm going to get started with the management of canals and diversions?"

"No rush, no rush, the plan to manage canals and divert roads has not yet been negotiated. Although you are a talented person promoted by the emperor himself, you still have to go through the process of the governor's cabinet. This is your badge. In the future Be sure to carry the waist badge when entering and leaving the palace, so that it can be inspected by the patrolling guards. Newly recruited officials need to report to the Ritual Pavilion and learn the rules and regulations of the palace. The guards at the gate will take you there."

I took my waist card and looked it over carefully. The brass round card is engraved with the cabinet position of the owner, including the name, which can be seen at a glance.After listening to the supervisor's arrangement, I comprehended and walked towards the door.The court rules are the most cumbersome, and I still have to study hard, lest with my too casual temperament, if I am not careful, I will make a big mistake and cause a fatal disaster.

After exchanging a few words with the guard, I followed his steps and walked towards the Lijiao Pavilion.One of the characteristics of the palace is that it is big. I walked for almost 10 minutes before I found the gate of the Lijiao Pavilion.The accompanying guards communicated with the guards of the Lijiao Pavilion for a while, and then left after making arrangements for me.

Ritual Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a place to learn etiquette, manage sacrifices in the palace, and hold civil and military assessments.Therefore, in my impression, this place should be a place where a group of old scholars with rigid thinking gather.Walking into the main hall of the Lijiao Pavilion, there are both men and women scholars, walking back and forth with scrolls in their hands, as if they are busy with something.However, it is a rare thing that there are female scholars in a place like Lijiao Pavilion.

After all, there were women in ancient times who did not go to the court, and lack of talent was a feudal rhetoric. It seems that Xuan Kingdom's tolerance for equal rights between men and women is already very good.

"What's the matter with you?"

A woman’s gentle question came from behind me, and I turned around and looked at her. The woman was wearing an official uniform with a red collar. This rank should be the same as that of Li Gongdu. If I guessed correctly, she should be the priest of the Lijiao Pavilion .The woman's long hair was tied neatly behind her head. Although she could not be said to have an astonishing beauty, she looked like a cultural person like me, a typical temperament beauty.

She held a brush in one hand and a book in the other, as if my presence interrupted her business.Quietly standing on the spot, waiting for my next words, I bowed and replied: "Next Ji Sijie is a Zijiang who just joined Chuanggongge. He received his waist card and came here to learn palace rules."

I answered truthfully, and the woman nodded knowingly: "Follow me."

In fact, logically speaking, this kind of trivial matter should be left to the people under her hands to handle it.However, the woman seemed to be very enthusiastic about what the visitor asked, so I followed her and walked towards a small tower building that was not high, and looked up at the plaque on the door - the library.

The woman pushed open the door and beckoned me to go in. I crossed the threshold and looked around curiously. The books in my collection were neatly arranged in row upon row.She led me to the deepest part of the building, where there was a row of wooden tables, probably a place for people to read and study.

"You wait here for me."

After finishing speaking, the woman withdrew and left. I stood on the table with one hand and waited boredly.After a while, the woman came back to me with a stack of books in her arms: "Look at these, after reading them, I will give a simple assessment. You only have one day to study the palace rules. If you fail, you will be re-examined by the Governor's Court." Are you qualified for your current position?"

What! ! !Shouldn't exception promotion be direct entry?Learning a palace rule and taking an exam?I raised my hand and beckoned to the woman: "I still don't know what to call the girl?"

"I am the Instructor of the Lijiao Pavilion, just call me Instructor Nangong."

It's so foreign, and it's still a double surname.I bowed politely again: "Then please trouble the Nangong priest."

Seeing that I had nothing to ask, the Governor of Nangong left the library, leaving me to chew on the book alone.Come, it's time to spread the knowledge of Xuan Kingdom to everyone.First of all, the book I'm holding is called the National Record and National Code, which records the big and small deeds of Daxuan since the founding of the country. This is not the point, so I won't explain it in detail.

The most important thing is that in the National Records and the National Code, the job system of the imperial court and cabinet is written in great detail. There are eight cabinets for the division of labor, among which I have a thorough understanding of the creation of labor, ethics and education, and the fourth army.

The Cabinet of Political Ministers is in charge of the law, justice, execution, rewards and punishments, the Pavilion of Zhisu is responsible for taxation, finance, land and agriculture, the Pavilion of Clans belongs to the royal family, and is responsible for the internal affairs of servants and medical care, and the Pavilion of Supervising Officials is dedicated to corruption of officials. The important affairs of each state's letter are also in charge of the chores in the city of Shundu.In the 24 prefectures of Xuan Kingdom, except for the Zongqin Pavilion and the Jizhou Pavilion, the other six pavilions have branches to manage local related matters.

The official ranks are arranged according to the color of the official uniform. The black collar is the largest, Zhong Bogong is the only one, the purple collar is the second, Ziqing and Shaoqing are two, the second purple collar (light purple) is the chief general of the Fourth Army, and the red collar is the chief of the Eight Pavilions. The second red collar belongs to the governors of 24 states, the officials of the Eight Courts, the lieutenants, and the deputy generals of the Fourth Army are all yellow collars, etc... Oh my god, it’s so complicated. I can’t remember it as a science student. life.

At about the time when I was exhausted from reciting, the Nangong priest walked in. She looked relaxed, and it seemed that she had already dealt with the matter at hand.

"Ji Zijiang, have you memorized it?"

I looked depressed, looked at her pitifully, and shook my head.The priest is a gentle woman. Seeing me frowning, she smiled and took the national book and the national code away from my hand. I thought she was going to start to test me, and when it was over, she would go back before she tasted the sweetness of a civil servant. It's time for the house, when the time comes, Tantai Qin will definitely strip me alive.

To my surprise, the Nangong priest didn't test me, but flipped through the book like telling a story, patiently explaining the boring content in detail, that's right, it sounds much more interesting .I don't know how long it took, but she went through the whole book completely.

"It should be more or less understood by now."

I nodded, and she began to ask questions. It seems that I was overthinking. Nangong is not tricky, and she just gave out sub-questions.After asking no more than ten questions back and forth, I answered in one breath, and she smiled with satisfaction: "You can go back to Chuanggong Pavilion."

"It's over?"

"Ah."

"So simple?"

"You are lucky today. You met me. If you ask other people to cross-examine, it may not be so simple."

"Thank you, Esprit, for teaching me!"

At the beginning of the year, I ate the Want Want gift package, so this year's luck is very prosperous? !

......

The weather was not good, and before we walked out of the library, we could only hear the sound of pouring rain, and I was a little embarrassed standing at the door with the Nangong priest, so we had to go back to the building and wait for the rain to stop.Since I have nothing to do, I changed the topic: "I didn't expect the Lijiao Pavilion to be so busy."

Instructor Nangong raised his hand and covered his mouth with a chuckle: "The martial arts test has just ended, and the results of the test need to be counted and handed over to the Governor's Office to arrange for new officials to be hired. The cultural test is supposed to be next year, but His Majesty has given grace to hold an exceptional one." The whole country can participate in the exam, regardless of whether it is a commoner or a prisoner. One has to take care of the martial arts exam, and at the same time prepare for the En exam according to His Majesty's request, so it is natural to be dizzy from the busyness."

Wait, Enko?This matter has to be remembered for Xu Yangyan, and he will be dragged to participate even if he dies.I have to work it out with Tantai Qin.After chatting for a while, seeing the rain outside, I stood up and said goodbye: "The rain is about to stop, I won't disturb Lord Bishop, Esprit will leave."

......

Because there is no news about the canal diversion, I run errands in front of Chuanggong Pavilion every day. The building area of ​​the palace is huge, and it has been raining a lot recently, and there are endless things to repair other courtyards. , Doing a job with a salary is not free food after all, right?

After a busy day, when it was time to leave the palace, a group of artisans in Chuanggong Pavilion discussed that Ji Zijiang would be able to help repair the harem soon after joining the job. Today, according to the plan, Concubine Du Gui's Fengxiu Palace was refurbished. It is rare to be able to advance It's still early when the project is finished, why don't we go to a good restaurant in the upper city to have dinner together and relax.Everyone hit it off, and even Li Gongdu followed our wishes.

I thought it was no different from a department dinner, I'm afraid I was too naive.Because the good restaurant they talk about is no different from Chunsheng Restaurant. When I got off the carriage, I saw Yingying and Yanyan standing at the door of the restaurant, waving small handkerchiefs prettily.Damn, what should I do?You can't really recruit prostitutes, can you? !The workers walked forward in twos and threes, and one of the rowdy guys put his arm on my shoulder: "How is it, isn't it good here?"

Seeing that I didn't answer with a look of embarrassment, the guy next to me suddenly smiled lewdly and said, "Could it be that Ji Zijiang hasn't eaten meat yet?"

"interesting..."

My embarrassing smirk doesn't make a smirk, is it meat?Fuck you, grandma, I'm a vegetarian!

"The girls here are well-known good guys in the entire imperial city. They are all beautiful and good at singing and dancing."

Hearing our conversation, other craftsmen also joined in the fun, talking to each other.Just when I was about to be pushed into the restaurant, a carriage stopped in front of us.The golden tripod is whitewashed and the wood carvings are fine. I don't know this carriage. I think this carriage is about to recognize me. The curtains of the windows were lifted, and my nemesis stared at us with his head high, and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Gongdu reacted the fastest, and hurriedly led everyone to kneel down to salute: "Meet Your Highness the Princess."

Tantai Nemesis waved his hand to signal that there is no need to make a big salute, and before he could speak, a small head rushed to her chest and shouted at the window: "Brother Ji!"
