Yang Zuan can also be regarded as Li Yuanjia's direct subordinate.

After all, it was a habit of the Tang Dynasty for a prince to serve as the shepherd of Yongzhou, but it was also a habit for the prince to be in name only and ignore the facts. As the governor of Yongzhou, Li Zuan was actually the highest official of Yongzhou. As early as after the emperor's order was issued, Li Zuan gave Han

The palace sent a greeting card, but it was rejected by Li Yuanjia.

Li Yuanjia's attitude was very clear. He and his "officials" did not intend to meet in private.

So today was Li Yuanjia's first day in court. As a subordinate, Li Zuan naturally wanted to come over in advance to say hello, and also to know where he was standing in the Daxing Hall later.

Li Yuanjia opened the curtain next to the carriage and glanced ahead.

Approximately in his fifties, with a medium to thin build, a somewhat sallow complexion, sparse hair, and a slender beard... By the standards of the future, he is a typical villain. If it is more precise, he should be a

The image of a bad guy who comes up with ideas, such as a master or something.

But Li Yuanjia knew that Yang Zuan was no ordinary petty official.

The rank of Governor Yongshi was not low to begin with, not to mention that this Li Zuan was a Jinshi during the Daye period of the former Sui Dynasty. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was appointed the magistrate of Chang'an and was given the title of Chang'an County Prince. Later, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which he only started in the past two years.

He took up the post of Governor of Yong Dynasty. However, Li Yuanjia knew about this Yang Zuan because he impeached Xiao, the big boss in the court, two years ago, which brought the Duke of Song, who was ranked ninth in Lingyan Pavilion, to disgrace.

In short, this is a guy who is very good at being an official.

And as far as Li Yuanjia knows, Yang Zuan is still a very capable guy. Although many people think that he is vulgar and loves to use cruel officials, in Li Yuanjia's opinion, as long as an official can do good things, he is a good official...

So when Yang Zuan came forward to greet him respectfully and expressed his joy and expectation for King Han's appointment as the shepherd of Yongzhou, Li Yuanjia got off the car and smiled politely: "Yang Changshi, don't ask for it."

You’re welcome! Although I have assumed the post of Yongzhou Shepherd, I may not be able to spare much time on weekdays, so I have to rely on Yang Changshi for many matters."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about matters within your official duties."

After hearing what Li Yuanjia said, Yang Zuan felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Princes who serve as Yongzhou Shepherd generally don't care about things. This is a common practice. The previous Jing King Li Yuanjing also did the same. But no matter what, Li Yuanjia is Yongzhou Mu after all. If he is young and energetic and really wants to show his prestige, he will be in government affairs or

Yang Zuan would really have a headache if he expressed himself in other aspects.

Fortunately, judging from the meaning of these words, King Han had no intention of intervening.

A big stone fell in his heart, and Yang Zuan's impression of the King of Han in front of him suddenly improved a lot. Next, while waiting for the palace door to open, the two of them stood in front of the carriage and chatted quietly.

"Ms. Fang, is this the King of Han?"

Just when Li Yuanjia was communicating with his "first general", not far away from them, Wei Zheng, who had just got off the carriage, saw them, then walked to Fang Xuanling and whispered: "A few days ago,

I did meet him once in 2008, but compared with now... haha, I can't recognize him at all."

"Well, that's him."

After meeting Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling nodded and said nothing more.

To be honest, he has quite complicated feelings about his future son-in-law. On the one hand, he feels that Li Yuanjia is very smart and has chosen a smooth path for himself; on the other hand, he feels that such Li Yuanjia is destined to remain in obscurity for the rest of his life, and his daughter

Somewhat aggrieved...

Without waiting for Fang Xuanling's answer, Wei Zheng was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "What? Don't you want to come up and say hello?"

"Look, the door is about to open."

Shaking her head, Fang Xuanling replied in a low voice.

Wei Zheng raised his head and looked over. Sure enough, at the Chengtian Gate not far away, a strong man had already walked up to a big drum and the morning drum bells were about to ring!

Yang Zuan also discovered this, and he quickly reminded Li Yuanjia: "Your Majesty, the palace door is about to open!"

"Haha, thank you Yang Changshi for reminding me!"

"Dong! Dong dong..."

When the drums on the Chengtian Gate sounded, the gate of the Imperial City was rumbled open from the inside. Taking a long "hiss" breath, Li Yuanjia's heart suddenly started beating. The Imperial City, the high wall,

The door, and the seemingly endless central axis behind the door, a mighty imperial aura rushed to his face instantly, causing Li Yuanjia who took a breath to hold his breath for a moment!

Ha, this is the glorious Tang Dynasty!

When Li Yuanjia came to his senses, he had already walked into the palace gate, and was striding towards the Daxing Hall directly in front with his head held high...

…

After entering Daxing Hall, Li Yuanjia quickly found his place.

Before going to court today, of course, he had people explain it to him carefully and was fully prepared. For example, in order to prepare for this day, Li Yuanjia learned for the first time that "going to court" was the beginning

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was even interesting to know the origin of the idiom "turn a deaf ear".

At that time, the courtiers had a beautiful jade hanging from each side of their official hats. When they were resting, they could plug their ears with the jade, just like ear plugs, which was called ear plugs. When officials usually went to court, wearing ear plugs on their hats was a kind of

Etiquette, because in the palace they have to look up to the king and cannot look left or right, and if they shake their heads, they will be slapped in the ears and face, which is also a kind of punishment...

However, the civil and military officials at that time were not so clearly distinguished.

The real implementation of the arrangement of Wen Zuo and Wu You started in the Tang Dynasty. So after entering the main hall, Li Yuanjia naturally walked into the ranks of civil servants, then walked to the front and looked at the row

The waiter in line hesitated.

He had known for a long time that all officials in the Tang Dynasty attended court sitting, so it was not surprising at all.

However, Li Yuanjia was a little confused about where he sat. The first-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty did not have to go to court, and the only second-rank official, Shangshu Ling, had been vacant because Li Shimin had served there.

That’s it. In other words, in addition to the prince, there are also the ministers, ministers, servants, ministers, servants and other second-rank officials...

The prince has a higher status and is of the same rank.

However, it is completely different for a prince who has joined the job. Unless your official position is so small that it makes people feel shabby, then you can calculate it according to the grade of the prince. Otherwise, it will be calculated according to the official position held.

Yongzhou Mu, from the second grade.

In other words, on the first day Li Yuanjia came to court, even if his title of prince was not taken into account, just by virtue of his position as Yongzhou Mu, he was already at the top of the official hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty.

To put it simply, Li Yuanjia, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, has actually reached the peak of his life.

However, his status did not help him find his seat. After hesitating between the second and third rows for a long time, he saw an old man in his fifties waving to him and smiling softly.
