The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 65 Germination (for the first order)

Standing at the foot of the imperial city, Sheng Yuan looked up, and for the first time clearly felt the majesty and magnificence rushing towards him.

The city wall made of gray stone bricks several feet high stands quietly under the blue sky, white clouds and sunlight.

Standing still, it faintly reveals the vastness, thickness and majesty.

Sheng Yuan, who was less than the height of an adult's legs, felt a little small standing here.

Although the quaint city walls are covered with traces of hundreds of years of time, there is no trace of vicissitudes.

Probably it is the sparkling fine river flowing in the middle, like a flexible ribbon encircling it; maybe it is the rows of green weeping willows in front of the city root, swaying their branches gracefully and vividly; maybe it is the people passing by Lively expressions, talking and laughing.

These smart animals, vivid people, and birds, hawks and falcons who are probing their heads on the branches, singing on the wall, or soaring in the sky, make this majestic and majestic building full of vitality.

The vermilion gate and the dazzling brass-yellow door nails give the city wall a touch of brightness.

Sheng Yuan sat back in the carriage, poked his head out of the window, blinked and watched curiously as the carriage stomped into the outer city.

Like the layout of Kyoto, the imperial city is also divided into three parts: inner, outer and outer.

"The outer city is mostly where the government offices are located, such as the Clan Mansion, Six Ministries, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Tongzheng Shifu, Zhanshi Mansion, Hanlin Academy, Dali Temple, Guozijian, Zhongshu Ke, Qintianjian, Imperial Hospital, The six subjects are all located here." Aunt Qi hugged Sheng Yuan and introduced it to her in a gentle voice.

Sheng Yuan looked at the government buildings lined up on both sides of the main road, and listened to Aunt Qi's detailed introduction of the criss-crossed streets and lanes, her little mouth couldn't close her mouth in shock, and said that this place is really too big.

When entering Zhongcheng, Aunt Qi smiled and introduced: "The layout here is also different. There are not only the elders' deliberations, but also the official offices of the Twelve Supervisors, Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus, commonly known as the 24 Yamen. There are also several On the street selling goods, government officials can buy all kinds of food and books on the street, which is no different from the street market outside the city.”

Roar!It's quite lively!
The Imperial City Zhongcheng introduced by Aunt Qi is quite different from what she thought.

She thought it was very solemn and solemn, but who would have thought that it would be such a world of fireworks.

Aunt Qi saw that she was a small person, her eyes were wide open, she was startled for a while, and she was surprised for a while. That small appearance was very rare, so she couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing, the biggest thing is to say that it is in the imperial city." city."

She touched Sheng Yuan's small face, and remembered what the empress had told her, so she asked Sheng Yuan in a gentle voice: "Sister Yuan, count the time, now it's time for all the ministers to come down, do you want to go over?" see?"

Sheng Yuan is someone who likes to watch the excitement, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Aunt Qi looked at her with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Sister Yuan, it's not easy to take a sedan chair at Yuqiao, do you want Auntie to hold you?"

This kid Sheng Yuan is a little familiar, after the time he came out of the mansion, he was a little familiar with Aunt Qi.

But even so, she was quite self-aware and still pointed her fingers in embarrassment, saying: "But, I'm too heavy for you to lift, and every time Daddy hugs me for a while, he'll cry tired."

Seeing her like this, in Aunt Qi's eyes, she couldn't love her enough, so she just hugged her up and weighed her with a smile: "It's okay, Auntie, I am strong, not to mention you, even your father can carry it." get up."

"Wow!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect to be able to feel flying high in Aunt Qi's arms, and immediately shook her head happily and cheered.

Probably a cute child can always make people feel relaxed. Aunt Qi walked into the side of Yuqiao with Sheng Yuan in her arms.

Yuqiao is the collective name for the area between the inner city and the middle city.

Because it first connected the middle city and the inner city, the whole area was built with white marble arched steps, so it was named Yuqiao.

The highest point of Yuqiaojie Road is the court hall, which is the place where courtiers go to court to perform their affairs.

The three spacious jade steps leading to the court hall are the main road of the jade bridge, and the platforms on both sides of the main road divide several winding jade roads with twists and turns.

These small roads are lower than the main road, and there are low jade pillars carved with exquisite patterns on both sides as intervals.

The palace maids of the inner eunuchs passed by in groups, and each set foot on the path leading to the destination. The group arrived but scattered far away. From a distance, there is a sense of a group without chaos, which is very beautiful.

Of course, there were very few people passing by the side of Yuqiao at this moment, only Aunt Qi was holding Sheng Yuan, and a few servants and maids stood at a slightly higher place beside her.

Here you can clearly see the courtiers walking down the main road.

Sitting in Aunt Qi's arms, Sheng Yuan was dishonest, stretched her little head and looked around Yuqiao, and kept sighing with her little mouth: "The vision here is so wide, it feels like looking out on the vast river."

She said it seriously, but Aunt Qi wanted to laugh when she heard it: "You little guy, I heard from your father that you only saw the lake not long ago, so how do you know how vast the river is?"

Sheng Yuan was not angry when questioned, and looked at Aunt Qi very seriously, and discerned: "Why do people say that scholars can know the world without going out? It is because they are knowledgeable and knowledgeable! Although I did not go to Jiangshang personally, there are countless The predecessors and ancestors have been there, and they can explain clearly!"

Her serious appearance is very cute, let Aunt Qi see it, she wished she could grab her little paw and kiss her hard.

While speaking, the main road of Yuqiao suddenly became lively.

In the blink of an eye, a group of officials in purple robes and red robes stepped out, in groups of three or five, either silent, whispering, or laughing and arguing.

Sheng Yuan saw that the group of purple-red robes in front of him was actually mixed with a little dark green and light green, and immediately after "colorful purples and reds" appeared in his mind, the phrase "a little green among thousands of flowers" popped up in his mind.

At a cursory glance, these officials saw that there were a lot of flowers, and Sheng Yuan was dazzled, but if you look closely, you can find that they are all dressed in different clothes.

Some are purple robes with jade belts and five-beam crowns, while others are purple robes with gold belts holding elephant wats; some are dressed in red robes with fish bags, and some are red robes with gold belts and hold wooden wats.

Aunt Qi saw that Sheng Yuan said everything right, she couldn't help being surprised and curious: "Miss Yuan knows so much?"

Sheng Yuan got acquainted with Aunt Qi, so she couldn't help but show off her true nature, I saw her proudly holding her head up and showing off: "Daddy taught it, once you teach it, you will remember it!"

Aunt Qi is such a shrewd person, she could tell from just looking at this little guy that she was waiting for praise, and immediately cooperated with her to write a series of good words, saying that she was smart.

When Sheng Yuan heard this, he was satisfied, but at the same time he covered his face with his chubby hands in embarrassment.

She is shy.

Aunt Qi was trembling with joy, and it took a long time to calm down, and then she sighed softly: "Sister Yuan, you said...we stand here and see them so high-spirited; then...if we stand there and look at them, what should they be?" How do you feel?"

"Huh?" Sheng Yuan unconsciously put down her little hand when she heard the sound, feeling a little dazed.

But Aunt Qi asked her persuasively: "Sister Yuan, if there is a chance in the future, you should go there too, okay?"

Sheng Yuan looked at her blankly, not knowing whether he nodded or not.

The little girl only felt that there was an indescribable heaviness behind the soft voice.

She couldn't help but look up at the main road of Yuqiao.

The sky at this moment doesn't seem to be any different than usual.

But the sky of this day seems to be very different from the clear blue.

The clouds float carelessly in the sky like tulle; but it seems that at this moment, at this moment, they are frozen together with the bright sunshine into eternity.

　Haha, the first update of V is here, and there are four more updates.
