Zhang Mo naturally wouldn't fight, but he was blushing. He wanted to explain but was afraid of backfiring. He did misunderstand Zhang Mo just now, but this misunderstanding really shouldn't be misunderstood.

Zhang Mo also felt a little unnatural. This was indeed a misunderstanding, but she shouldn't have discovered the misunderstanding.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, Zhang Mo took a cup of water, put down the cup, and stood up, "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early."

"Oh, uncle, let's go slowly." He stood up and said goodbye.

When he reached the door, Zhang Mo suddenly turned around and said, "That's right."

His face was already red, and when he saw Zhang Mo suddenly turning around, he couldn't hide his nervousness, "What?"

"Earlier someone from the imperial court told me that your official uniform is being made by the imperial court and will be delivered tomorrow at the fourth update." Zhang Mo said.

"Oh, oh." nodded.

Zhang Mo stepped out, said good night and closed the door. He felt as if he had hit a deer and was extremely embarrassed.

He was extremely nervous, feeling flustered and short of breath, and his hands and feet were numb. He wanted to calmly think about the reason why he was so nervous, but he did not dare to calm down and think about it. He was afraid that the result he came up with would violate etiquette and be treasonous.

Don't think about anything and go to bed quickly.

I thought so, but I couldn't fall asleep lying in bed. Although Zhang Mo had left, there was still the faint fragrance of orchids in the room. I didn't dare to smell it but I liked it, I didn't want to but I had to.

Smell it, and struggle with it until the end, as if every breath you take is a heinous sin.

Thinking of getting up early to go to the palace tomorrow, I was worried that I would be slow to react if I didn't get enough rest, but the more I wanted to fall asleep, the more I couldn't fall asleep. I tossed and turned in the middle of the night. In the end, I had no choice but to raise my hand and tap the jade pillow behind my head, and let myself go.

A bit dizzy.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door. I stood up and saw the innkeeper standing outside the door.

"Sir, there is an official downstairs who wants to see you." The clerk bent down to inform him.

"Oh, they are giving me official uniforms, let them come up." He said casually.

After the waiter left, he left the door open to wash up and tidy up. Not long after, an official from the inner government came, respectfully left his official uniform and a bunch of accessories, and went downstairs to wait.

Putting down the cloth to wipe his face, he walked to the table and looked at the official uniforms sent by the inner government. This was a set of purple official uniforms. At this time, the official uniforms were all similar in style, and there was no animal embroidery on the chest from the Wu Zhou Dynasty. The official uniforms were

The uniforms of officials of the third rank and above are purple, the fourth rank is red, the fifth rank is light red, the sixth rank is green, the seventh rank is light green, the eighth rank and ninth rank are dark cyan and

Light cyan.

He is from the third rank, so he can also wear purple official uniforms.

He tried it on and found that the size was quite suitable. Many high-level masters in Longhu Mountain also wore purple robes when performing rituals, so he had a good impression of purple.

If there is an official uniform, there will naturally be an official belt. The belt is woven with gold thread and has jade pieces hanging in it. The belt is very elegant, but a little wide.

After tying up my belt, I picked up my official hat again. It was a small black gauze hat, similar to the Taoist's Taoist crown.

It's a bit similar, but with two more little wings.

There was also a pair of court boots. He was used to wearing Tao boots, and the long boots were a bit unfamiliar to him, but after putting them on, he found that the size was quite suitable.

There is a huge bronze mirror in the room. When I dress neatly and look at myself in the mirror, it feels quite like that. When I put on the wat board, it becomes even more like that.

Officials are required to hold a wat tablet when they go to court. He is a third-grade military attache, and the one he holds is an ivory wat tablet, which is smooth and smooth and feels good in the hand.

Finally, I discovered that there was a small golden bag left on the huge tray. When I opened it, I found a small long-shaped ornament with six small goldfish embroidered with gold thread. I was confused for a long time before I remembered the official waistband I had seen before.

Everyone has such a small bag. This thing is called a fish bag, which is also a symbol of an official's status. He is from the third rank and is a senior official, so he is equipped with a goldfish bag.

After tinkering for a long time, I finally got dressed. Worrying about wasting time, I hurried downstairs. Of course, I couldn't bring weapons with me. What I had in my hand was the ivory wat.

Knowing that he was going to the palace to meet the saint today, Li Zongyuan prepared breakfast for him early. He even prepared breakfast for the officials and imperial troops who came to greet him. When he came downstairs, everyone was having breakfast, and Li Zongyuan prepared a table for him alone.

, there is a beautiful breakfast on the table.

Seeing him going downstairs, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted him without any airs. He waved to everyone and told them to eat quickly. He also ran to another table to eat. Li Zongyuan was very attentive and knew that he liked it through the lack of snacks in the room.

He eats sweets, so most of the food prepared for him is sweet soups and honeys.

The civil servants sat in sedans and the military attachés rode horses. The horses had been prepared long ago. After everyone had eaten, they got on their horses. The officials led the horses in front, and the imperial guards guarded behind.

From time to time along the way, you can see officials rushing to go to court. Most of them are court officials, and some are Wu Jinshi who entered the palace today to meet the Holy Spirit.

At this time, I began to feel worried. Before, I was free and free, but now I am afraid that I will no longer be able to do it. I will have to get up early every day to go to the palace and go to the palace early.

You are not allowed to ride a horse in the palace. You have to dismount outside the palace gate. The horse was taken away and the imperial army returned. The imperial army was to protect the emperor. They greeted and escorted the newly promoted Wu Jinshi only in accordance with the order and reflected the emperor.

Care for new Jinshi.

At this time, many Wu Jinshi had gathered outside the palace gate. They could not follow other officials directly into the palace, but had to wait outside the palace to hear the announcement.

Others who become officials are all passed through the first level. Even if they are a martial arts scholar, they were all Xingwu school captains before, and they all know the etiquette and rules of the officialdom. Only this batch of martial arts scholars are directly produced by Jianghu warriors.

I didn't know anything about etiquette and rules. Not only was I nervous, everyone was awkward and uncomfortable.

Although they are all Jinshi and have the same rank, they wear different colors of clothes. The top three Jinshi are from the sixth rank and wear green official uniforms. The second-grade Jinshi are from the fifth rank and wear light green uniforms.

Red official uniforms. The second and third highest ranking candidates are from the fourth rank and wear red official uniforms. Only the first place in the first rank wears purple official uniforms.

When they arrived, Yang Kai and Da Tou had already arrived first. Yang Kai was from the fifth grade. It was the first time he was dressed so neatly, and he seemed a little at a loss. Da Tou was from the sixth grade, and his official uniform was also tailor-made. He wore a small green official uniform.

On the body, the whole body is like the earth god in the earth temple.

The three of them met, looked at each other, and laughed awkwardly.

The others are not much better than the three of them. They are all members of the martial arts world. Few of them really want to be officials.

If you win, you have to be an official, and when you are an official, you have to wear official uniforms, especially Shi Xuantong from Shaolin Temple. He has no hair and can't hold up his black gauze hat, so he can only wear it with a rope. He is used to clasping his hands, but now he wears it instead.

Wat Ban, I don’t even know where to put my hands.

Seeing that everyone was nervous, I became less nervous.

Although he won without a fight on the last day, he had fought hard before. Several of the children in the imperial examinations had been beaten by him, and they would stay away from him when they saw him.

Since it was still early, no one came out to guide them, so everyone could only wait outside the palace gate. .??.

The officials who went to the morning court had a lot of disdain for this group of Wu Jinshi who came from a rough background, but they were quite polite to them. Regardless of whether they recognized them or not, they would nod in good faith. After all, they were officials from the third rank, and the officials who participated in the morning court were

He is above the fifth rank, and most of his official titles are not as high as his.

Shi Xuantong and Tanhua Yao Wenzhong, who are second on the list, do not have the same treatment as him, because there is a gap of two grades between the fourth grade and the third grade, and the promotion of officials above the fifth grade is very slow. After all, the higher you go up, the fewer positions you have.

There are many officials who stay in the fifth rank throughout their lives, so it is extremely difficult to advance from the fourth rank to the third rank.

Everyone gathered in twos and threes to discuss, and the topics they discussed were all the same. They were all guessing what kind of ministry they would be assigned. They were very concerned about this matter, but he had no way of guessing. Yang Kai didn't care at all that he would be assigned.

What duties should be assigned? The one who is most interested is Datou. He has already guessed where he will be assigned. According to past practice, those with bad appearance or abnormal posture are usually assigned to two places. One is assigned to three.

Si Dajong served as the cell leader, and secondly, he was assigned to the horse herding prison as the horse hunter.

At the fifth watch, the imperial eunuchs and eunuchs came out to lead the people. According to the order of the top three, the three people walked in the front, the number one winner was in the middle, the second place winner was on the right, and the top pick was on the left.

There are twelve people in the second class, three in a row, and four columns follow. There are forty-five people in the third class, three in a row, and fifteen columns are the last.

Everyone entered the Daming Palace through the self-built Fu Gate, and then headed north, passing the Longshou Canal and crossing the Jinshui Bridge, and continued north to Hanyuan Hall. From Longwei Road on the west side of Hanyuan Hall to Tongqianmen, they continued north to Xuanzhengmen.

Then go to the inner corridor of Rihua Gate and wait for the summons.

This journey lasted for almost half an hour, and everyone was dizzy. During this period, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony explained to everyone in detail the etiquette of the audience, including what to do after entering the palace.

How to salute, how to express gratitude, how to withdraw, all details, no matter how big or small, is left out.

At this time, the door of the main hall was closed, and it was obvious that the emperor and the civil and military officials were discussing matters in the hall.

After waiting for a while, the palace door opened, and the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, "In the first year of Dashun's martial arts competition, Enke became a Jinshi and entered the palace to express his gratitude."

The civil and military officials of the early dynasty were already lined up in the palace. After hearing the eunuch's call, everyone immediately stepped up to the palace and walked at the front. From a distance, they saw the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sitting on the dragon chair in the north. Even though he had been there last night.

I have seen this person before, but he is wearing a dragon robe today, solemn and majestic, and he is completely different from the person who was chatting and laughing yesterday.

Under the command of the eunuch who presided over the ceremony, everyone stood and knelt down and thanked the emperor loudly. Xuanzong respected Taoism and Wu Zhou respected Buddhism. The imperial court had long had an ancient system in which Taoist monks did not kneel when they saw the emperor. Therefore, all the Taoist monks among Wu Jinshi performed the ritual of head-turning and namaste.

.

In the face of everyone kneeling down to express their gratitude, the emperor just replied with an expressionless expression and bowed down.

Then the eunuch took out the pre-prepared imperial edict and began to read it out. There were only sixty top three martial arts scholars. The first thing he read was the duties of the top three military Jinshis. Most of the forty-five top three Jinshis were divided into the Yulin Army and the Shence Army.

Several people were assigned to the Shaofu, but most of them were assigned to the Yushitai, where they were appointed to serve the Yushi from the sixth rank.

It was a pity to see Datou being assigned to the Yushitai. The Yushitai is commonly known as the Duchayuan, and together with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, it is called the Three Law Departments. Datou, the sixth-grade imperial censor, is just a false position. He will probably be sent there after he goes there.

Look at the prison.

After that came the twelve people from the second class, mostly from the Yulin Army and the Shence Army. Only two people were assigned to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and Yang Kai was also assigned to the Yushitai, serving as a fifth-grade servant.

history.

At this time, he began to realize that something was wrong. The Shi Censor was appointed from the sixth rank, and Yang Kai's appointment as the Censor from the fifth rank was a downgrade.

Before he could react, the eunuch began to read out the top three positions. Yao Wenzhong, the top pick, was appointed as the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, and Shi Xuantong, the top pick, was appointed as the young eunuch of the Shaofu.

After the two men's duties were read out, the next step was to do it, but the eunuch who announced the order did not read out for a long time. Instead, he looked at the expressionless young emperor with a surprised look on his face.

Seeing that the emperor had no reaction, the eunuch could only continue to read out, "The third son of the first-level martial arts champion will be the real supplement to the imperial censor's official position."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Not only the civil and military officials of the entire court were shocked, but they were also horrified and shocked. The imperial censor is the chief official of the censorship station, and the censorship station is not only responsible for supervising the impeachment of civil and military officials, but also in charge of the criminal law department.

He handles cases, lives and deaths, and his power is far superior to that of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

Before the uproar subsided, an official came out holding a scepter and said, "To report to the emperor, I believe that it is not appropriate to fill in the missing name on the turban."

After this person spoke, someone immediately came out to echo, "I second my opinion, the third son is young and has just entered the official career, so he may not be able to hold a big position."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."
