Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 317 Late Night Brocade Clothes Arrive

  Late at night, the whole world is sleeping quietly.

  There was a rush of hoofbeats from the southeast of the capital. Dressed in uniforms, the horses galloped past. Under the cold moonlight, the cold light reflected from the waists of this group of people and horses could be faintly seen.

  It was already midnight at this time, and the entire capital was under night ban. The garrison 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 ordered to run an errand, quickly open the way!" 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.

  The old system of the Ming Dynasty, the first grade of bullfighting, the second grade of flying fish, the third grade of python, the fourth and fifth grade of unicorn, the sixth and seventh grade of tiger and biao, this bullfighting uniform, does that mean that the master came in person? !

  The little banner 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 of Nancheng Bingmasi were in a hurry, and they didn't move the fence well.

   "cough"

  The Jinyiwei 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 Jinyiwei let out a low growl, with blue veins flashing on his forehead. Under the surprised eyes of Nancheng soldier Ma Sibingwei, he grabbed the whole 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.

  Actually, it only took a minute or two from the moment the Jin Yiwei showed his token to the time 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 question.

   "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. 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 Gong Yuan opened the door.

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

  The middle-aged man in the Jinyiwei wearing a bullfighting uniform, accompanied by several Jinyiwei, entered the Shuntian Gongyuan, and gave orders 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, loyal to 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 courtroom saw the person, and quickly got up from their seats to greet him.

  Why didn’t Xu Jie, Yan Maoqing and others come forward to greet them? It’s not easy to come. This is a famous person beside the current emperor. This person is not only as simple as being high and powerful, this person is extremely smart, but also proficient in power politics, 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 eighteenth year of Jiajing, it was rare for Emperor Jiajing not to practice alchemy. 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?

  So, whether it was Xu Jie or Yan Maoqing and 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 reading the papers, and my lord has ordered me to come to condolences to you all."

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

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

  After a few words of simple politeness, Lu Bingyan returned to the main story and asked Xu Jie and 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 examination has just ended, and the draft list has just been filled out." Xu Jie replied with a smile.

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

"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.
