Chapter 201 200 Crisis

"Da da da da da da."

The dense sound of horse hooves broke the quiet night sky of Beijing. The horse team galloped out of Xiyuan with torches. One team rushed to a mansion in the city, while the other team turned south at Chengtian Gate and soon arrived at Zhengyang Gate.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict night ban system. If a horse was riding, it was not allowed during the day, not to mention at night. However, this team of knights was so arrogant that the night patrol soldiers dared not stop him from seeing it from afar.

The horse team did not continue to move forward in front of Zhengyang Gate, but walked left to the ticket door downstairs of Xizha. After putting a bronze medal in the hanging basket placed upstairs, the ticket door was slowly opened with a "squeaking" sound.

"Dongdongdongdongdong."

The sound of violently slapping the door panel sounded, and it took a while before someone could hear the room, "Who?"

As footsteps sounded, the people outside the door shouted loudly, "Open the door quickly, there will be an imperial edict."

"What imperial edict? We are here at Jiujiang Guild Hall, and the officials outside, you are afraid you have made a mistake."

This time the sound came from behind the door panel. It was obvious that the person was already behind the door, but I don’t know if it was already midnight or the sound of knocking on the door was too fierce just now, but the people inside were reluctant to open the door.

"Hurry up and open the door, the angel arrives and ask the Hanlin Academy Shuji Shi Wei Guangde to come out to receive the order."

The man outside continued to say viciously to the person in the room, but finally he called the door open.

As a door was opened, the people inside were still tidying up their clothes, and the back door of the lobby was also opened. Someone had already run into the inner courtyard to find someone.

"Sir, do you need to prepare an incense table for the order?"

The shopkeeper opened the door. Now he saw clearly the knocker's clothes. The Jinyiwei man had a little trembling with his feet for no reason, but he still asked with a thorn in his teeth.

But the Jinyiwei School Captain ignored the shopkeeper, but turned around and said respectfully to the person: "Sir, please come in."

While speaking, an official in blue official clothes had already walked into the Jiujiang Guild Hall.

"Go and report it, and ask the Hanlin Academy Shuji Shi Wei Guangde to come quickly to receive the order."

The man went into the house and looked at it. Although there were a few people standing in the corner of the house, it was obvious that they were not the ones he was looking for. But they were just a few shop assistants, and then urged in a bad tone.

"Sir, I've asked someone to go in and inform me."

In the inner courtyard, the sound of the shop clerk shouting naturally woke up the people in the courtyard.

It's June now, and it's hot, so it's hard to fall asleep. When the shopkeeper called out, he naturally woke everyone up easily.

"What's going on? Why are you still quarreling when you're late? Are you going to bed?"

Zhang Ke didn't fall asleep at this moment. After the door rang, he got off the bed and walked to the door and shouted loudly to the outside.

"Sorry, sorry"

The shop guy outside hurriedly apologized here.

The one who lives in this yard is a Jinshi from the current academic degree, and he can't afford to offend anyone.

"Squeak."

Zhang Ke had already opened the door and walked out. When he saw the shopkeeper standing in front of Wei Guangde's door, he asked curiously: "What's the matter? He still called the door so late, so if he could let someone rest."

"Mr. Zhang, I have no choice. An official came ahead and asked him to find Lord Wei."

The shop guy hurriedly explained.

He ran over from the front, only knowing that he was looking for Wei Guangde, but he didn't know what he was doing.

"What kind of official master? Where did you come from when you are so late?"

Zhang Ke was very unhappy. Of course, he was not the quarrels and rest in the middle of the night, but the official in the shop assistant.

Soon, the door on Wei Guangde's side also opened. He stood at the door wearing a shirt and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Wei Guangde was suspicious. He also heard Zhang Ke’s question just now, but he couldn’t figure out the situation.

"Mr. Wei, the young one doesn't know, they only know."

When he was talking about this, another guy ran into the courtyard. The young man came to Wei Guangde and bowed and said, "Mr. Wei, the master outside said that he was here to pass the order, so that you can go out and receive the order quickly."

"Receive the order?"

Wei Guangde was surprised. Well, now he must be unable to get out of his clothes, so he had to say "wait" and immediately turned around and went into the house to change his clothes.

Lao Kan had already opened the door at this time, looked at Zhang Ke and chose to go back and change his clothes immediately.

Although the will was not passed on to them, they also wanted to see what the will was passed on in the middle of the night?

In fact, everyone in the yard has come out now. Zhang Ji has already put on his clothes and waited outside Wei Guangde's door. As Wei Guangde's book boy, he must follow Wei Guangde.

Soon, Wei Guangde, Zhang Ke and Lao Kan were all dressed in official uniforms and went out. At this time, Xia Kefan had already dressed and walked out.

Xia Kefan is the oldest among several people, so he naturally moves slower.

Four Jinshi in Qingcheng came out to the front lobby. When Zhang Ke went in, he saw the person inside and said a little surprised: "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

"Mr. Zhang, let me disturb you for a rest."

At this time, the Qingyi official had already seen four Qingyi officials. Although they had no supplements on their chests, they also knew that they were all Jinshi in the current academic year.

Although he didn't know who Wei Guangde was, he knew that the person he was looking for must be among them when he came out of the Jinshi. In fact, he must have seen it when he was circulating the list before, but he had long forgotten it.

It was faintly clear that the youngest of the four had already emerged because the other three were already standing behind him.

"Wei Guangde received the order."

Without hesitation, he turned around and took a blue and yellow imperial edict from a captain behind him, and said in a serious voice.

"My minister Wei Guangde received the order."

At this time, Wei Guangde could only lead the lead and kneel down, without the incense table. Obviously, he was in a hurry to follow the power. Lord Li, who was delivering the order, did not ask someone to prepare anything else.

"The imperial edict: According to the heavens, the emperor was appointed as the Hanlin Academy's Shuji Shi Wei Guangde and his abilities were both gentle, kind, respectful and frugal, and was promoted to the Hanlin Academy's review. He hoped to be diligent and diligent. He also appointed the Hanlin Academy's review Wei Guangde as the deputy envoy of the border patrol, inspecting Suo Town and the passes along Xuanda."

Just as Wei Guangde was about to kneel down to receive the order, he heard the voice of Lord Li again in his ears, "I'm here."

As the imperial edict was finished, Wei Guangde knelt down according to the ritual and took over the imperial edict with both hands. Now he became an official, becoming the fourth person in this imperial examination to be awarded an official.

According to the Hanlin Academy, although it is only from the seventh grade, and the grade is lower than the Jinshi, it is normal for the seventh grade, but this is from the seventh grade of the Hanlin Academy, which is also expensive.

However, these are all about Lao Kan, Zhang Ke and the others. Wei Guangde was surprised at this moment. He couldn't figure out why Emperor Jiajing had this decision. He directly appointed himself as an official, seriously breaking the official rules for hundreds of years.

If Shujishis don’t leave the hall, they will be given official positions?

The last imperial edict of the imperial edict shows that this imperial edict was planned by Emperor Jiajing, not a normal promotion procedure for officials. It was proposed by the Ministry of Personnel to submit a memorial to the Secretary for Lecture and Lishu to issue a redemption.

When did I become so familiar with the emperor? Why didn’t I know?

Also, what happened to the final appointment?

Patrol the border?

Altan's army is about to enter, and there will be another Gengxu change. How could he arrange for himself to patrol the border at this time?

Isn't this a death sentence?

No wonder I was so kind-hearted that I had appointed an official position to do it.

While Wei Guangde was thinking about it, Lord Li, who announced the order, had already smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lord Wei, this holy favor is really enviable."

"I've never thanked Lord Li for his unremitting efforts. I'm still on a business trip so late."

Wei Guangde hurriedly retracted his thoughts and replied.

"Mr. Li, you are tonight."

Zhang Ke behind him had calmed down from his previous shock at this moment. Although he was surprised that Wei Guangde was not going to be promoted normally, he was even more strange that the imperial edict would be issued so late.

"I'll be delivered to the military department tonight, and I'll send it to you right away."

Lord Li smiled.

"Mr. Li, the imperial edict said that I am the deputy envoy of the border patrol. I wonder where the envoy is?"

Wei Guangde had to seize the time to ask the questions in his mind at this moment. It is estimated that Lord Li will go back and reply soon, but he will not stay here for too long.

"This time, the border minister is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Lord Weng Puweng, and Lord Wei is the deputy envoy. I have some things to tell Lord Wei."

Speaking of this, Lord Li glanced at Wei Guangde, who had already frowned slightly, and continued: "This patrol is very hasty. Tomorrow morning, you and Lord Weng will go to the three camps of the capital to select accompanying guards. After the selection is completed, you must set off immediately.

I believe I already know the news sent back by Xuanfu in the north. This border patrol is of great importance and is related to the safety of millions of people in the capital. Before I came, Mr. Xu and Shangshu Nie both explained it, so that you must be careful and careful."

Wei Guangde felt quite aggrieved at this time. He had not even passed his internship period, so he was asked to take office. He would do the most dangerous job of patroling the border. Who should I ask for advice?

I was holding an imperial edict in my hand, so it was impossible to say no to me at this time. If I wanted to give up, only Lord Li's voice was heard.

"At the hour tomorrow, you will arrive at the Beijing Camp."

Speaking of this, Lord Li glanced at Zhang Kecai behind Wei Guangde and continued, "Mr. Weng's mansion should have received the order at this time. You will go to Jingying and Master Weng to get along with him. After clicking the guards, set off immediately.

The specific strategy, after you meet with Lord Weng, he will tell you, and I don’t know all of this.”

After saying that, he bowed to Wei Guangde again and said, "Please ask Lord Wei to rest early. It will be very hard to travel tomorrow. Don't miss the time."

Before Wei Guangde could react, he turned around and left. Zhang Ke behind him quickly surpassed him at this time and caught up with the Lord Li who was passing the order.

The two of them went out and mumbled and didn't know what they said. When Zhang Ke came back, they rushed into him and whispered. Wei Guangde understood what he meant, and the four of them quickly left the lobby and returned to the back yard.

All four of them entered Wei Guangde's room, and all the followers were left outside.
