It was still chilly in the early morning of February, and the sky was brighter later than in summer and autumn. At the fifth day, it was as dark as ink, and dim candlelight had already lit up inside the window lattice.

Qiaoniang was carrying a washing-up wooden basin and went in and out of the door. In the sound of the water pounced on the water, Geng Qing, who was facing the bronze mirror in the room, tied a new robe, with a green robe with narrow sleeves and wrists, a wide single shirt covering her waist, and a round square-hole jade pendant hanging around her waist, looking at the bronze mirror, showing her elegance of a Confucian scholar.

"Sir, Dachun is waiting outside the yard."

When Qiao Niang shouted outside, the little girl looked to the direction of the door and walked out in a blue robe with a wrist covering her single shirt. She tidied her cuffs while walking, pinching Qiao Niang's face, which made the little girl bulge her cheeks and followed her downstairs with shame and annoyedness.

Wang Jinqiu got up early and cooked the breakfast. When Geng Qing came down, he served a bowl of porridge and brought it over with the pancakes, and told his son to "Don't go to the palace with an empty stomach", "The emperor told you not to eat anything, it would be impolite." "If you have enough food, you won't be greedy..." and so on.

Huhululululululululu...

Under the eaves, Geng Qing sat on a low stool, holding a bowl, swallowing the pancake in big mouthfuls. Hearing his mother's words, he smiled without explaining. Since the rice was brought, he still had to take the old man's wishes.

After eating, Geng Qing walked back and forth in the yard for a while, then walked out of the yard and got into the carriage and sat in the carriage. Dachun quickly gave the bowl of porridge that had been drunk to Widow Zhang, shook the reins with both hands, and drove out of Yong'anfang while drinking the carriage.

The streets are deserted, and occasionally there are people with lights on. Most of them are busy getting up early and getting pancakes and mutton bone soup sold on the street in the early morning.

After passing Guanglufang and Xingdaofang, Zhuque Gate was faintly in his eyes. The long streets gathered on both sides were frequent. When they arrived, officials of all sizes got off the carriage in front of Zhuque Gate. They immediately smiled and wrinkles appeared on their faces, and greeted their colleagues who also got off the carriage.

When Geng Qing came down, there was a voice shouting not far away: "Brother!"

It was Li Cunxiao who stood in the crowd with tall figure, looking particularly eye-catching. When he heard his words, the civil and military officials around him looked at him, and stopped looking, and withdrew their gaze to continue talking with their colleagues.

On this side, Geng Qingxun looked at Li Cunxiao's outfit today, with cloud patterns embroidered at the corners of the tailor, but he didn't come over. He just moved his mouth and signaled that there was another person next to him, with a heavy face, a long whisker under his chin, a long lip, a flat extension of Hu, and a powerful figure, which was slightly shorter than Li Cunxiao.

Geng Qing probably knew that it was Cunxiaochang's adoptive father Li Keyong, whom Cunxiaochang mentioned. The latter seemed to notice his eyes, looked at Geng Qing, nodded with a majestic head, and stopped looking, and whispered something to Li Cunxiao. He led the other party to another middle-aged man with two generals, and talked vaguely before he realized that the other party was caught by the river and Wang Chongrong.

Soon, several military governors, including Zhu Wen, gathered together. The military men spoke heroically and loudly. The faces of other Chinese military officials around them showed displeasure on their faces, but they did not dare to come out to blame them.

Most of these people were promoted recently. Huang Chao had dismissed officials from the fourth rank and above, and most of them were later confiscated and their families were later exterminated. Now that Li Yan returned to the court, the old ministers who surrendered to the pseudo-dynasty were naturally not needed. They could only be promoted from below and act as a storefront. After the imperial examinations are over the next year, they will be replaced and filled.

"Ji Chang."

At this time, someone came over from the side. Geng Qing looked at the other party and hurriedly bowed and said that the person who came was all white in his beard and hair. It was Zheng Ting. Zheng Xiang was busy and experienced wars of all sizes for two years, much older than when he saw him at the Prince Consort's Mansion two years ago.

"Qing, I've met Zheng Xiang."

"You have also been the prime minister, so you can do a lot of courtesy. Let's say that we have a good official position."

Perhaps the yellow thief was destroyed, and the emperor returned to the court to make the old man happy. His always serious expression was not too big or too much at this time, but he looked at Geng Qing and nodded.

"Not bad... Lao Yu read that right, the Huang Thief was defeated, you made a great contribution!"

"A little bit of power can be used to eliminate the Yellow thieves, mainly because the military governors of each town are good at using troops. Otherwise, this strategy will be difficult to work."

"modesty."

The old man nodded in admiration. In the officialdom, the most feared young officials who are full of energy can still lead to many people. Although the dark-faced young man in front of him is not considered a handsome man, he is also a rare genius. Being able to do things so humbly is a good seedling for being based in the court.

The atmosphere was harmonious between the old and the young. During the period, Zhu Wen, who was standing on the side of the governor, wanted to come over. Seeing Zheng Ting was there, he had to give up. He hugged Geng Qing from afar, smiled and signaled, which was considered to be a greeting.

Soon, the gate of the imperial city opened, and the eunuch walked out of the side gate of Zhuque in scattered slashes and Gao Xuan and the civil and military officials entered the palace. A group of civil and military officials who were mixed together had just found their own position and lined up to enter the city gate.

"Ji Chang, follow me." Zheng Ting didn't go to grab any position, and walked slowly behind. Geng Qing followed with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Secret Zheng, please."

The two walked behind and entered the imperial city with the team.

.........

The sky was blue and dark, and in the dark colors, the bells jingled at the corners of the palace eaves, and the palace maids and eunuchs walked under the eaves like dragons.

In front, Li Yan looked tired, as if he had not woken up yet. He raised his arms while walking. The two little eunuchs were busy tidying up the dragon robe and crown for him, and blowing away the dust on his steps.

"Big partner, do you remember what I said in the Chengdu Palace last year? I want to be a wise king and can't be lazy anymore. Look at the palace left by my ancestors and how the yellow thief was harmed. I feel distressed. If I continue to have fun, maybe some thief king will break in these halls..."

The emperor walked into the side hall, and the guards around him bowed. Li Yan, who was walking towards him, waved his hand and asked them to raise their heads, and then continued to move forward.

The words continue.

".........This time I was lucky. The palace left by my ancestors was quite complete, and my concubines were intact. It was a real luck. It was a pity that Gu Changshi took it. In the future, I made up my will—"

The voice stopped, and he stood at the door of the side hall, watching the eunuch slowly open the door leading to the main hall, and put down his words of affirmation.

“—Being a good emperor starts today!”

After the words came, he kicked open his robe and the ambitious emperor stepped into the Tai Chi Hall. Soon, he waited for the civil and military personnel outside the hall to recruit them into the hall, and stood on both sides, and gave a great gift to see you.

Sandalwood wafted on the incense burner, and the imperial steps extended upwards. Li Yan sat down on the dragon chaise. Tian Lingzi, the Privy Councilor who had already prepared the imperial edict, spread his brocade and read out the words of the yellow thief's past crimes and the surrendered ministers had no integrity, which made Zhang Zhifang, who was standing at the end of the team, blushed.

The rewards and imperial edicts are read out. Geng Qing and a group of people like to slaughter right and wrong. Wang Feiying, Qin Huaimian and others can only listen outside. After all, they are white and cannot enter the court unless there is another reason.
