Late at night, the whole of heaven and earth are sleeping quietly and peacefully.
A rush of hoofbeats came from the southeast direction of the capital, dressed in uniform costumes, whistling past with their horses, and the cold light reflected from the blades of this group of people’s waists could be seen under the cool moonlight.
At this time is already midnight, the whole capital are in the night ban, the south city military division of the garrison guards in the intersection of the street to stop up the fence, holding blades, sticks in the street night patrol, a cadre of people are not allowed to pass.
In the South City Division of the night patrol soldiers and guards are ready to find a sheltered place to drink a little wine to warm up, they heard a burst of rapid hoofbeats getting closer and closer, and soon saw a team of people steering horses, one of them accelerated the speed of the horse galloped over, the waist crotch of the embroidered spring sword, holding a tasseled token in the hands.
“The Brocade Guards are on an errand by decree, open the road quickly!” This Jinyiwei who came on horseback, holding the token, shouted to the South City Military Division’s night patrol guards.
South City Military Division is responsible for tonight’s night patrol is a small flag, a total of more than ten people, the leader of the small flag officer to see the brocade guards holding in the hands of the token with tasseled fringe, face pale, shaken, this kind of token is not a general brocade guards tokens, far away from the team of brocade guards to look at, vaguely see the brocade guards flanked by a big man wearing bullfighter clothing, where still dare to slow down, and immediately commanded his men to put the fences and other things used to block the road away.
The old system of Daming, first grade bullfighting, second grade flying fish, third grade python, fourth and fifth grade unicorn, sixth and seventh grade tiger and puma, this bullfighting suit, that is not to say that that master personally!
The small flag officer did not dare to delay for a moment, commanding his soldiers and guards to clear the road, but the more urgent the more chaos, but also because the fence is too heavy, the people of the South City Division of the Military Horsemen for a time, some hands and feet, but also did not move the fence well.
“Cough ……”
Behind the jinyiwei also gradually close, which was surrounded by the man in bullfighting clothes of more than forty years old, gently coughed, seems to be very dissatisfied with the situation in front of them.
Hearing the coughing sound, the brocade guard holding the token was shaken. Without even thinking about it, he put the token into his arms and flew off his horse like a big bird, his toes seemingly not yet touching the ground. Then he leapt up again, and in a sudden movement, he arrived among the people carrying the fence of the South City Military Division.
“Up!”
This brocade-clothed guard let out a low roar, veins flashed on his forehead, and in the gaze of the surprised guards of the South City Military Division, he grabbed the entire fence. Along with a few of the soldier guards, he pushed it to the side of the road in one fell swoop.
The group of brocade guards behind them didn’t even look at it before steering their horses along the gap and steering through the intersection.
Immediately after, this brocade guard who opened the way also turned on his horse and chased after them.
In fact, from the time this brocade guard showed his token to the time he whizzed away, it was only a minute or two.
The people from the South City Military Division who were patrolling the street froze and watched this pair of brocade guards whiz past, not reacting for a while, until two unlucky people who were pushed to the side of the road with the fence touched their feet and screamed, these people reacted appropriately.
“Head, in the middle of the night the brocade guards were ordered to do what errand ah?” Someone looked at the back of the brocade guards whistling past. Asked a sentence.
“Don’t ask if you don’t want to die!”
The small flag officer glared hard at that person, then commanded his men to clear the road completely, it is not guaranteed that those masters will have to return, in this dynasty, the brocade guards are powerful, much more powerful than the East Chamber, one does not dare to touch the mould of these people.
It did not take long, the capital city south of Shun Tian Gongyuan ushered in a team of uninvited guests, it is from the street horse from this team of brocade guards.
Tribute Academy rules. In order to the fairness of the imperial examinations, to prevent the examiners from fraud, the examiner into the Tribute House, until the end of the examination, set out the rankings can not come out. This can take as little as three to five days, or as much as dozens of days. Before the ranking of the examination is determined, the lock and key of the tribute courtyard shall not be opened.
However, when the jinyiwei showed an oracle, the tribute courtyard opened the door.
“Guard the door. Don’t let a single ant crawl out without my order!”
The middle-aged man in bullfighting clothes among the Brocade Guards, accompanied by several Brocade Guards, commanded the several subordinates accompanying him after he entered the Shun Tian Tribute Courtyard. This middle-aged man in bullfighting clothes, more than forty years old, tall in stature, giving a feeling of robustness and bravery, his skin colour was different from normal people, as if there was a fire in his body, his skin colour was vaguely fiery red, and he looked like a crane between his walks.
So, the accompanying jinyiwei separated a number of people manually according to the embroidered spring sword to guard the entrance of the tribute courtyard, faithful to their duties.
“Lord Lu personally arrived late at night, there is a loss to welcome you, there is a loss to welcome you.”
To the public hall inside the examiners, such as Xu Jie, Yan Maoqing and others, when they saw the visitor, they hurriedly got up from their seats and greeted him.
This person is not simple, this is today’s powerful, the Department of the world’s largest head of the Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei Commanding Secretary Lu Bing, this person is not only smart, but also adept at the power of strategy, in the past dynasty is the East Chamber of the Jinyiwei, but in the hands of the Lu Bing, the Jinyiwei will be the East Chamber of the East Chamber of the pressure to gasp. Under his wise leadership, the Brocade Guards has become the most terrible intelligence machine, but wherever there is any breeze in the capital, he is always the first to know. Not only that, Lu Bing and today’s relationship with the emperor is not ordinary, Lu Bing is the son of Jiajing Emperor’s nanny, the two are eating the same milk grew up, Lu Bing grew up with Jiajing Emperor, by the trust of Jiajing Emperor.
In addition, Lu Bing is also Jiajing emperor’s life-saving benefactor, Jiajing eighteen years, the emperor went on tour, Lu Bing led the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers to escort the driver. In Weihui, Henan Province, at four o’clock in the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace, and the escorting officials fled in a hurry, with no one caring about the emperor’s whereabouts. It was Lu Bing who rushed into the fire and carried the Emperor out of the fire. This kind of sacrifice to save the Lord’s behaviour, so that the Jiajing Emperor saw his loyalty, and from then on more and more favour, and constantly increase the rank and title, become the highest officer of the Jin Yiwei.
For such a person, full of officials how not to be afraid of it.
Therefore, whether it is Xu Shi or Yan Maoqing and others, all are up to welcome, mouth said all kinds of polite words.
“Lord Xu, Lord Yan, all the adults reading the scrolls toil and toil, the saint ordered me to come to console you all ……”
Lu Bing, however, did not have a bit of a stand, and greeted Xu Shi and the others with a very polite arch of the hand and a smile, greeting them.
“Where where where, Lord Lu late at night still have to do official work, it is only toil and toil ……” Xu Yi and the others politely said.
After a few simple polite words, Lu Bing got back to the point and asked Xu Jie and others, “I don’t know how the adults are doing this time with the reading of the scrolls, the saint has been reading it for several days.”
“Can be really coincidental, the marking has just ended, the draft list has just been filled out.” Xu Shi laughed back.
The examiner in the back placed the filled out straw list and the top ten Zhu scrolls together in a paper bag with various seals, and handed it over to Lu Bing with both hands at Xu Di’s gesture.
“Then I won’t bother you all, His Holiness is still waiting to resume his orders. I believe that all of you, my lords, will be able to go home and rest comfortably from time to time tomorrow.” After Lu Bing received the paper bag, he arched his hand and bid farewell to Xu Shi and the others.
