The next day, the atmosphere in Chang'an City suddenly became lively. Scholars, aristocratic children and even businessmen's children from the Sanfu Land, even Guandong and Guanxi, all started to make a commotion.
It was just dawn, and the North Tower of Weiyang Palace suddenly became lively.
The sudden increase in the flow of people made the guards who had been staying in the palace quite nervous.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to announce in the North Tower?" A general wearing the armor of a Confederate captain climbed onto the tower of Weiyang Palace, stuck his head out, looked at the turbulent flow of people below, and asked the soldiers around him.
"Captain Wang, Your Majesty has no intention of announcing anything in the North Palace..." replied an officer responsible for recording and delivering palace orders.
"Strengthen the alert!" the captain immediately ordered.
Beique was one of the most important places for political activities of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Its status was second only to the Gaomiao of Emperor Gao and the Ancestral Temple of Emperor Taizong.
Whenever the emperor dies, a new king ascends the throne, a general amnesty is granted to the world, an edict is issued on major military and state affairs such as crusade against rebellion, launching of war, etc., they are first announced in Beique.
In addition, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would also receive the princes who came for pilgrimage and the people who came to complain about their grievances in Beique.
For example, during the reign of the late Emperor, the origin of the story of Tiying saving her father was in the North Palace. It was here that Tiying beat the Dengwen drum to complain to the emperor.
Now, since the Emperor has no intention to announce something here, then these people are most likely here to complain.
Captain Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: "How big of an injustice is this, that so many people come to Beique... It seems that someone is going to be in bad luck!"
Thinking like this, he immediately followed the procedures prescribed by the late emperor and ordered the people around him: "Go down alone and ask the people below the tower what they want to do when they come to my North Tower. If they come to beat the Dengwen drum, tell them,
Only one person is allowed to approach the Dengwen drum. Once the Dengwen drum is sounded, the emperor will be alerted immediately. If there is no serious grievance, the Dengwen drum must not be sounded lightly, otherwise they will be punished for disturbing the emperor for no reason..."
So, a military academy accepted the order and walked down the tower.
Not long after, the military academy came back with a message: "Reporting to the captain, the people downstairs are not here to complain, they are going to the bus station to listen to the lecture!"
"Public bus department?" Captain Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and put his heart back to its original place, as long as he didn't come here to complain.
The Bus Station is near Beique, and it is only two to three hundred steps away from the Beique Tower where Captain Wang is on duty. He leads his soldiers to patrol there and passes there every day. Therefore, Captain Wang knows what the Bus Station is.
This kind of yamen.
It was simply the most deserted and idle place in Chang'an City.
Usually there won't be much excitement there for two or three years. On weekdays, there are only three or two servants in the bus department cleaning the guards and cleaning the door.
Generally, only when the famous people who are famous all over the world come to Chang'an after accepting the emperor's conquest, the place will become lively.
"Could it be that since I haven't gone out in the palace these days, some famous people have entered the court?" The king's captain guessed, and then he said to his left and right: "Gather a team of guards to come with me.
Go keep order!"
"No!" The officers on the left and right were also burning with gossip.
Inside the palace gate, they were almost having trouble holding back their thoughts. Naturally, no one wanted to miss the opportunity to go out in such an upright manner and meet a world-famous big shot.
Soon, a group of soldiers was ordered to assemble.
Lieutenant Wang led his officers and the group of soldiers, and walked down the tower in a swaggering manner, heading towards the bus station.
Before we even reached the entrance of the bus station, the road ahead was blocked.
Captain Wang looked at it and saw, what a guy, hundreds of carriages of various sizes had blocked the originally spacious road.
Because there is an imperial road next to the bus station, and only the emperor can walk on it, so these carriages are basically parked close to each other, densely packed together.
When Captain Wang saw this scene, he immediately ordered: "Come here, come up to me immediately and ask these carriages to stop where they should!"
There is no big problem if the carriage blocks the road, but if the blind man accidentally parks the carriage on the royal road next to it, then not only that fool will lose his head, but even he, the captain, will not be able to take advantage of it!
While leading the carriage owners to direct the carriage to several small alleys next to the bus station, Captain Wang also took the time to ask a few people on the carriage. He was also shocked by this question.
.
It turned out that Uncle Tian, who was famous all over the world, was going to lecture on the knowledge of Huang Laoxue at the bus station, and his highness would also be present.
Uncle Tian is naturally a figure that Captain Wang has admired for a long time.
Not to mention, there will be a prince attending the event!
There are only so many good things like being able to get close to members of the royal family a year. Captain Wang immediately became very motivated and felt energetic all over his body!
The Southern Army is no better than the Northern Army. As a palace guard, the Southern Army is actually a backwater. If you want to be promoted, you can only rely on qualifications.
As a captain, he might be a high-ranking officer in the county, but in the Southern Army he was only in charge of about 300 people, and he was neither above nor below.
Only by taking one step further and becoming a guard of a certain palace will there be some future.
However, changing from a captain to a guard, even the most humble palace guard, would take at least ten years!
But if you can get the respect of the royal family members and become their confidant, then it will not be difficult to change from a captain to a guard!
Not to mention, the coming His Highness is still very likely to become Liu De, the future crown prince!
In Wang Duwei's plan, as long as he performs well in front of Liu De and leaves a good impression, then when His Highness Liu De becomes His Highness the Crown Prince, opens a mansion and transfers him there, he will be transferred immediately.
General Qiandi, let alone a palace guard, it is not impossible to become a lieutenant or a general in the future!
Therefore, Captain Wang immediately put out 120,000 yuan of spirit and strength and began his journey of performance.
He even ordered a team of 100 soldiers to be transferred from the North Tower to maintain order.
Soon, the originally bustling, noisy and disorderly area around the bus station became orderly. No one dared to stab anyone in front of the heavily armed palace guard.
And this neat order also made many scholars have a good impression of Captain Wang.
However, there are also some people who hate this Wang Duwei in their hearts.
Lin Jing is one of those who resents Captain Wang.
"It's really a dog taking advantage of the mouse!" Lin Jing's face turned red as he looked at the Bus Department, which restored order in a short time.
Lin Jing was just the son of a small businessman in Chang'an. Because his family had some spare money, he read a little and became barely literate. After hearing about the examination, he had no idea at all and just came to join in the fun.
But a few days ago, someone came to him and promised him a huge profit. As long as he could do something, he would not only get a generous reward, but he could even be given a position as a county captain or a princess in the future.
Under the temptation of money and official position, although this matter may be a bit difficult, Lin Jing finally made up his mind to seek wealth through danger!
Originally, Lin Jing planned to take advantage of the chaos to cause something to happen, causing the situation to get out of control, or better yet, disrupting the lecture! But with the appearance of a large number of guards, his plan failed!
Just like Lin Jing, there were twenty or thirty people who came with the same purpose.
These people looked at each other, then quickly lowered their heads and squeezed into the nearby crowd.
Since it's not possible to cause trouble openly, we can only hide and play some dirty tricks!
