Chapter 301 The errand of pretending to be a grandson
When Li Chengxian greeted him, Li Chengzhi realized that the official who came to send him the documents and official uniforms was not low-ranking: Kao Gonglang, the minister of meritorious service in the selection department, from the fifth rank.

From the fact that the fifth-rank Kao Gonglang came to teach in person, this honor is high enough.

After talking about some rituals and drinking a glass of mulberry wine, Kao Gonglang took his leave and left.Before leaving, Li Cheng first prepared two copper collars, but Kao Gonglang insisted on refusing to give him his resignation, it was just an excuse of righteousness.

Li Chengzhi looked at it and pouted secretly: When I took my glass beads just now, why didn't I see you so serious?The light in those eyes seemed to be electrified...

Fearing that Li Chengzhi didn't know the importance of entering the officialdom at the beginning, after entering the door, Li Chengxian whispered to him: "It is the emperor's imperial seal, but it must be handled by the selection department. It is very precious to be a gentleman and a virtuous corporal. Someday my brother If there is a flaw, I still want to express my gratitude... You take these copper collars in case you need them..."

"Brother is right!" Li Chengzhi was not polite, and took it over.Not to mention that when his cousin went to get the copper collar, he quietly untied two glass beads from the silk ribbon and stuffed them into the kaogonglang.

Not to mention being a civil servant, he learned it just by watching TV and movies. How could Li Chengzhi not know this truth?
For things like gift giving, of course, the fewer people there are, the better.There are too many people, how do you ask them to charge you?
"My younger brother is also lucky!" Li Chengxian laughed again, "When I started my family for my brother, I was at the ninth rank. After six years of hard work, I became the eighth rank. Cheng Zhifu started his family at the seventh rank, saving at least seven or eight years of time compared to my elder brother... …

After the hundred officials take the exam after autumn, my brother will definitely be awarded a title for his meritorious service in Jingzhou, and I will be even more envious of my brother..."

What is it?

Looking at the official clothes and hats on the cases, Li Chengzhi had a strange expression on his face.

Hou Xinglang?
Leisure is quite leisurely: you don’t have to go to the office during the day, you want to make ice and ice, you want to burn glass...

It's also quite cool: it's hard to be hot on such a high observatory, and you can definitely sleep until dawn.

You said you can't sleep?

I can recognize no more than three stars in total, why don't you let me sleep?
Three are a bit exaggerated, at least the North Pole, Qiming, Beidou, Nandou, Morning Glory, Weaver Girl, etc. can still be found.

Li Chengzhi felt that it was extremely strange: Which one did the emperor seal for him if he felt that he couldn't do it?
Don't think it's easy to see the stars!
The duties of the Taishijian are: divining auspicious omens and calamities, counting good and auspicious occasions, reciting misfortunes and taboos, explaining doubts and dreams and divinations, controlling the weather during the farming season, and performing the legal time...

The things in the old yellow calendar seen by later generations are all within the scope of the eunuch's duties, and everything is calculated by stargazing. What does Li Chengzhi know?
Forget it, just mess around, anyway, it’s a foreign worker!
Seeing that it was about to go to the court, Li Chengxian urged him not to miss the time, so as not to leave a bad impression on the chief official when he saw things on the first day.

Li Chengzhi nodded again and again, and sighed secretly again.

If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.I only thought that the Taishijian was just a sixth-rank yamen, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of housekeepers' mothers-in-law?

Since the founding of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, there have been many changes in the calendar. First, the "Jingming Calendar" in the Three Kingdoms period was used, and then the "Xuanshi Calendar" created by Zhao Bandit, a native of Guohuang, was used, but they were not very accurate.

Since last year, the emperor ordered Taichangqing Liu Fang, Taishi Ling Zhao Sheng, Tai Le Ling Gong Sunchong, Taimiao Ling Pang Fuling, etc. to re-deduce the calendar.

He also ordered Cui Guang, the son of the state to sacrifice wine, to lead the Taixue, the four doctors, etc. to gather detailed investigations and calculations.

These people are now all gathered in the Taishijian. Except for those doctors and students, the rest are all Li Chengzhi's immediate superiors, and there are also veterans of several dynasties such as Liu Fang and Cui Guang.

Don't think that apart from Liu Fang and Cui Guang, the rest are just "Ling", and their official positions are similar to those of Li Chengxian's upcoming promotion.

He is "fixing" and Li Chengxian is "giving". I have to make a metaphor, just like the group of consultants from the State Council. Regardless of the low salary, in terms of professionalism and profound knowledge, he can be an ancestor.

There are also a bunch of tough guys like Yang Shu, who would dare to mess with Li Chengzhi?

The more he thought about it, the more he was wrong, he always felt like he was being targeted by the emperor, as if he was going to force him to pretend to be his grandson?

Just pretend, who let himself beat his younger brother's teeth?

Li Chengzhi was full of resentment, and under Li Chengxian's guidance, he wore official uniforms.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, official uniforms at all levels have been distinguished by color, including the crown (official hat), pendant (jade pendant), and ribbon (ribbon when adorning jade) and so on.

But "Wei-Jin demeanor" is not called for nothing. I just despise you no matter what etiquette you have.Therefore, it has been passed down from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially after the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains, that the Dagon Mian system has become useless.

It was not until Yuanhong was completely sinicized that the Han system was inherited again and the crown system was restored, but it was only a part: when only state ceremonies and grand sacrifices were stipulated, the grand court uniforms would be "different according to the grade".In normal times, when going to court, going to the Yamen, etc., you can wear ordinary clothes, that is, official clothes.

It was also determined by Yuan Hong that Jin is gold and gold produces water, so Wei Cheng's water virtue is black, and ordinary clothes are naturally black.

The following will be slightly different, and the civil and military crowns are different: Wen brings the virtuous crown, and the military wears the martial crown.

Military officers use the gold, beads, mink tail and other ornaments on the military crown to distinguish their grades.Civil officials are distinguished by the vertical beams on the top of the Jinxian crown: the three beams of the public, the second beam of the Jiuqing (first rank) to the doctor (the eighth rank).There is a beam below, but only students from the gentry, Taixue, Guozijian, Simen Primary School and other government schools can wear it.

So even though Li Chengzhi was from the seventh rank at this time, he was wearing the same official uniform as the first rank Gao Zhao: black robe, black boots, and a sage crown.

Li Chengzhi, who usually looks extremely handsome and always smiles when he sees people, now looks a little more majestic out of thin air after wearing this outfit, and he has a demeanor that is not angry.

The aunt and two aunts who combed his hair and crowned him were amazed.

How could Li Chengzhi be in the mood to listen to these compliments, he absent-mindedly said a few polite words, and followed Li Chengxian out of the mansion.

Thinking about it now, both Tai Le and Tai Shi belong to Tai Chang.The two brothers were both officials.

But before entering the surveillance business, Li Chengzhi had to go to the Meridian Gate first: his official position was personally appointed by the emperor, and although nine times out of ten he would not be able to enter the palace, even if he pretended, he would have to bow outside the imperial city.

After entering Tongtuo Street, the two brothers parted ways, one headed south to Taichang, and the other headed north to the imperial city.

It was still early, so Li Chengzhi went to Jingle Temple first to inform Li Rui and others that they had been appointed officials, and told Li Rui to go to Taichang Temple to find him if there was something urgent, then he saved his horse and walked towards Luhe Door.

It was also a coincidence that as soon as he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he ran into the two golden armor warriors who gave him and Yuan Yuexing the stick.Looking further away, there are two people stretched out on the bluestone slab under the sun, wearing a pair of shorts (big shorts) all over their bodies.

The two wrestlers recognized Li Chengzhi at a glance, and they had long respected him, and they politely said congratulations: "Your Majesty, this is the selection of officials, congratulations!"

"You're welcome!" Li Chengzhi looked around with a smile and saw that there was no one around. Naturally, he took out two copper collars from his sleeves and stuffed one in each person's hand.

"I haven't thanked the two generals for their mercy yesterday. I wanted to invite you to have a few drinks. But I don't know how long this election will be delayed, so I can only neglect you..."

The two wrestlers were a little confused.

I have only seen Zhang Qian being polite to them, but giving them gifts after being beaten, this is the first time today.

Could it be that Li Chengzhi had already expected that he would have to be rode in the future, so he wanted to give favors in advance?
How can it be so exaggerated, Li Chengzhi is just discussing the facts, and he is really grateful to these two subordinates for their mercy.

On such a hot day, it is really fifty sticks, not to mention whether it will cause tetanus or infection, just sweating every day is enough for him...

Without waiting for the two to refuse, he quickly winked, pointed to the two lying on the bottom and said, "What did these two do?"

A look of disdain suddenly appeared on the wrestler's face: "The shorter and stronger ones celebrate the old birthday of Andinghou and General Jishe. The taller and thinner ones are Yin Pingzi and Shi Rong who joined the army in Yuzhou...

The two exchanged wives and concubines and committed adultery, and the one son and three daughters they gave birth to were unknown... After being played by the censor lieutenant Wang Xian, His Majesty was furious and dismissed the two of them from their titles.They were also ordered to expose to the sun for three days, and every day at noon they were whipped fifty times..."

Li Chengzhi's eyeballs almost popped out: Good guy, you're good at playing, aren't you?

Another Marquis and one Viscount... Well, Marquis Anding, is the surname still Bao?
"The fake son of the former Lord An Ding and Jingzhou Inspector Baoyi?"

Hearing Li Chengzhi's question, the two wrestlers also reacted: "I forgot that you are also from Jingzhou..."

This Baoyi Li Chengzhi really knows: he was born in Shitang County, Anding, and was voluntarily sentenced to corruption and entered the palace because of his poor family.First, he was the Xiaohuangmen of Empress Dowager Feng, and then he was promoted step by step. He successively served as Shiyu Shangshu (Deputy Prime Minister), Dachang Qiuqing (Inner Palace Manager), and General Pingxi (Second Grade) outside, and then transferred to Jingzhou. To Anding Gong.

He died in the post of Inspector of Jingzhou and was succeeded by Hu Shichang.

As for Baoyi, who entered the court as important ministers, and came out as governors and generals, and were born in Guanzhong, there have been thirteen eunuchs since the time of Queen Mother Feng.

There are seven or eight who are still alive.

Eunuch... Li Chengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Bao Laoshou lying not far away...
