Chapter 122: Entering the Palace on Duty
In the Zuixian Tower, Lin Xiu was drinking wine, watching Fang Yiai, Li Dejian and Qin Huaidao discussing where to go after graduation, each of them was full of enthusiasm, while Lin Xiu was reluctant.
"Brother Xiu, why don't you pass the exam on purpose, so you can continue to class." Fang Yiai made a suggestion and muttered: "If you really do that, you're sick."
Lin Xiu gave him a blank look and snorted: "Of course I can't do that, and I can't pass the graduation intentionally. Isn't it a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Brother Xiu likes to be at ease, and it is really difficult for you to be on duty in the palace. But I think you can develop well in the preparation house and perform outstandingly, and then let the room replace you with good words. Then you can adjust the outside world, and that's also free." Qin Huaidao suggested.
Li Dejian said: "Whether you stay in Chang'an City or external service, whether you are studying in the Imperial College or on duty in the palace, you are just jumping from one cage to another. The biggest problem of Xiu's brother is that he has no goals in life, so he can't do anything he can satisfy his satisfaction and is relatively lazy."
"So, I also seem lazy because I have no life goals?" Fang Yiai asked.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiu shook his head and said, "No, your life goal is to be a salted fish, and laziness is your life goal."
Fang Yiai:…
Then, Lin Xiu smiled and responded to Li Dejian: "I really have no goal. I don't want to be a prime minister or a general. Even a Taoist priest takes one step at a time. But it doesn't matter. One day, I will find what I want to do."
"Yes, there will be such a day." The four of them raised their glasses and drank.
Five days later, the graduation examination of the Imperial College was officially started.
The exam is divided into articles and riding and archery, which is completely different from the imperial examination. After Lin Xiu got the article exam questions, he sighed and turned out to be writing a poem. This is simply too simple. It is impossible for Lin Xiu to pretend that he can't do it. Who doesn't know that Lin Xiu's poetry has profound functions?
Poor Fang Yi loves her, scratching her ears and foreheads, and she looks like she sighs, and she has no clue.
The article is followed by riding and shooting, which is much simpler and everyone can easily pass the level.
The next day, the graduation results were reduced.
Just when Lin Xiu thought Fang Yiai was sure to fail the exam, he didn't expect everyone to pass the graduation exam. At this time, Lin Xiucai understood that the so-called graduation exam was just a decoration, and he would probably pass the blank paper. After all, no student who could teach in the Imperial College was not the legitimate son of the powerful. Going to school was just a process. Even if he did not succeed in learning, he could still enter the officialdom.
In this way, Lin Xiu and others graduated.
After resting at home for a few days, Fang Xuanling suddenly found Lin Xiu and said, "Lin Xiu, go to the preparatory office tomorrow to report. Young people want to make a career and stay at home all day long. How can they be worthy of the good time?"
Lin Xiu nodded and asked by the way: "By the way, uncle, where is Fang Yiai?"
"He, go to Jinwuwei for the time being. I'll let Lu Chuanhai take good care of him so that he can cause big trouble!" Fang Xuanling introduced.
Lin Xiu didn't ask again. With Fang Yiai's urinary nature, he would cause trouble everywhere he went.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiu changed into Qianniu's official robe and went to the left Beishu Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Li Junxian was waiting. When he saw Lin Xiu, he immediately showed his joy: "Lin Xiu, I finally hope for you!"
Lin Xiu hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "General, please be polite. Lin Xiu is here to pay homage!"
Li Junxian smiled and said, "If you are your own people in the future, don't be polite. Let's go, I'll familiarize you with the environment of the prepared mansion and meet your colleagues!"
In this way, Li Junxian personally led the way. Lin Xiu met other colleagues, who were respectful and respectful when facing Lin Xiu. No one dared to doubt Lin Xiu's ability. Although he was Fang Xuanling's concubine, he was highly favored by the holy people.
After meeting his colleague, Lin Xiu asked, "General, I wonder what my position is?"
Li Junxian smiled and said, "Follow me and protect the saint."
"What?" Lin Xiu was shocked. He thought that he could guard somewhere in the palace at most and be able to guard the Zichen Palace and Taiji Palace, which were rare. He never expected to directly guard the saint.
What is the identity that you have to be able to guard the saint? This is the saint's confidant!
Li Junxian said: "The saint values you very much. Cherish this opportunity. Let's go and enter the palace with me. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment in the palace. In addition, I will tell you some rules to avoid ramming the saint!"
"Yes!" Lin Xiu nodded.
Then, Li Junxian led Lin Xiu to become familiar with the palace environment and finally came to Zichen Hall.
Outside Zichen Hall, there are guards who can be used as guards here. The eight generations of ancestors investigated carefully and had no problem with their identity.
Lin Xiu jumped over this step directly.
When entering Zichen Hall, Lin Xiu secretly glanced at it and found that there were many internal officials in the hall who were serving the saints. There was no guard in the hall, and only Li Junxian could guard the hall, but now there was one more Lin Xiu.
"My memory, Lin Xiu, pays homage to the saint!" Lin Xiu bowed seriously.
Li Shimin was handling official business, and he said no hunching his head, as if he didn't pay attention to Lin Xiu's arrival.
Li Junxian gave Lin Xiu a look, and the two stood on both sides of the Dragon Case, one left and one right, and began the guard mission.
This is no different from standing guard, but the position of the station is quite special.
At first, Lin Xiu didn't dare to look around and looked directly, but after standing for half an hour, he felt a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Li Shimin secretly and found that Li Shimin was still handling official duties. Sure enough, being an emperor was a tiring job.
After a while, Li Shimin finished handling the affairs. The eunuch in charge, Wang De, brought tea. Li Shimin took a sip and leaned against the dragon couch to rest.
"Lin Xiu, for the first time I went to the palace to be on duty, can you still adapt?"
Suddenly, Li Shimin looked at Lin Xiu and asked with a smile.
Lin Xiu replied respectfully: "Reporting to the saint, I am very adaptable. Being able to serve by the saint is a blessing I have cultivated for three generations!"
"Haha, just adapt! If you don't know anything, ask Jun Xian or Wang De. In addition, although I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am easy to get along with and don't have to be so restrictive." Li Shimin smiled.
Lin Xiu responded with a fist, but he didn't dare to take his words seriously, otherwise he wouldn't even know how to die.
Next, Li Shimin asked and asked, Lin Xiu responded respectfully, and before he knew it, he actually talked for a long time.
It was Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who asked for a meeting, and then interrupted the conversation between the two.
When Changsun Wuji and others entered the palace and saw Lin Xiu, they were all shocked, especially Changsun Wuji. He knew that Lin Xiu had entered the Zuo Bei Mansion, but he never expected that he would go through many rules and be on duty directly by the saint. This kind of thing had never happened before.
