Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

At this time, Yan Liben said with a smile: "Zhongshu Ling, why don't you raise the sign for me?"

Xu Jingzong seemed to be protecting his beloved baby and refused to let go.

"No need, Minister Yan, you follow behind."

At this time, Lu Chengqing joked: "This is a special honor, and it must be the Xu Yan clan."

"Haha." How could Xu Jingzong not hear Lu Chengqing's sarcasm?

Smell it, there is a strong smell of vinegar in the air.

I know that you old bitch must be envious and jealous.

Do you think I will be angry? Then let go of the sign and you take it for yourself?

Ha, am I Xu Jingzong such a fool?

Insidious, Lu Chengqing.

Song Zhen looked around. This training session brought together 1,300 people and 62 civil servants, including not only officials of the sixth rank and above from the three provinces and six ministries.

It also included local officials from various states.

So, who is the one holding the sign in the local official camp?

Ahem, it was Lu Yang.

Song Zhen didn't deliberately trick him, he just wanted to do it!

Because he saw that the right prime minister was willing to raise the sign, what does that mean?

It means that not everyone can raise the sign! Only people with high moral character and prestige are qualified.

So Lu Yang realized and learned from the leader!

In addition, he was the Jingzhao Yin of Luoyang, the eastern capital, so it was the most suitable person for him to raise the sign!

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Song Zhen stopped trying to dissuade him.

He deliberately let the military generals train elsewhere, under the pretext of separating the civil and military, but in fact, to avoid being exposed.

Because the military general who raised the sign was actually Tian Qi, who was just an unknown soldier.

Tian Qi was not selected by Song Zhen to raise the sign, but was designated by Li Ji.

Li Ji liked Tian Qi at first sight, thinking that this kid was tall and mighty, and had an excellent image.

Song Zhen did not object. It was a good thing that Tian Qi could show up in front of Li Zhi more often.

This training session used carriages.

Four horses pulled carriages one after another and slowly drove into the palace square.

Of course, not everyone was qualified to ride in a carriage.

The carriage in the front row was occupied by three divisions and three officials.

The second carriage was occupied by two left and right ministers, Lu Chengqing and Xu Jingzong.

Originally, Lu Chengqing should have been sitting, but he was too embarrassed to let Xu Jingzong, who was holding a sign, stand.

The third carriage was occupied by nine ministers.

The fourth carriage was occupied by the six ministers.

The fifth carriage was occupied by high officials from the three provinces, such as the fourth-rank officials such as the Zhongshu Sheren.

The sixth carriage was occupied by the five supervisors and the junior ministers of each temple.

The seventh carriage was occupied by the assistant ministers of the six ministries and twenty-four departments.

The eighth and ninth carriages were occupied by the governors of each state, respectively. There were a lot of people and it was a bit crowded.

From the perspective of status, the Nine Ministers are definitely greater than the Six Ministers. Although they are all third-rank officials, there is a saying of "Three Dukes and Nine Ministers", which is understandable.

Song Zhen frowned slightly as he watched the civil servants enter.

It's too restrained. It feels like you are not going to the court to attend the ceremony, but to the execution ground.

"My colleagues, you don't have to be so nervous. It's true that such a gorgeous carriage feels like a prison carriage for you."

Song Zhen's joke embarrassed the ministers in the carriage.

The other ministers who were walking laughed.

Song Zhen adjusted the expressions on the faces of the ministers in the carriage one by one, and let them play freely and pose.

Xue Zhengqing understood, and he directly drew out the Tang horizontal sword, raised the sword forward, and pointed it majestically.

"How about it? Shouzheng, how about this pose?"

Song Zhen gave him a thumbs up!

"Old Xue, it's really good. This posture is very nice." Then he glanced at it and laughed, "My colleagues, you should learn from Xue Siqing."

Unfortunately, they are too proud to make such exaggerated movements and expressions.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the carriage of the Nine Ministers was much better with Xue Zhengqing, a live treasure.

They each posed in a posture that was more in line with their own department.

For example, Guanglu Temple Minister was holding a bronze ware for observation, Weiwei Temple Minister was wiping the ceremonial sword, Sinong Si Minister was holding a piece of rice, and Taifu Temple Minister was holding an abacus...

The funniest thing was the Shaoqing of the Imperial Household, who was driving a horse.

Why was the Shaoqing sitting in this carriage? Because the Imperial Household Minister had to help the Emperor and Empress drive the carriage.

Yan Liben on the other side had been secretly observing the carriage in front and found it very interesting, so he suggested: "Colleagues, how about we also act it out?"

"Hmm?"

Yan Liben got an easel from somewhere.

The easel is a product of later times. In this era, most paintings were spread out on the table. Presumably, it must have been from the hands of his apprentice Cui Mengzhu.

Seeing that the Minister of Works had already started, the Minister of Finance Yang Hongwu was not to be outdone. He took out a gold ingot from his pocket and tossed it up and down.

Xu Jingzong was in the second carriage. He saw that the group of young men behind him seemed to be having a lot of fun, and silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, I don't associate with them."

He was also the Minister of Rites. He really couldn't think of what embarrassing posture he would make if he sat in that carriage.

At this time, he heard Song Zhen calling him to get off.

"Xu Zhongshu Ling, get off the horse."

"?"

Song Zhen adjusted his expression and tried to be kind and friendly.

"Xu Zhongshu Ling, I've thought about it, I think you should not take the carriage."

"???"

"I suggest that you walk with a sign."

"???"

"Walk in front of the first carriage with three masters and three ministers, holding up the sign! By the way, the content of the sign should also be changed, three provinces and six ministries are not suitable."

"!!!" Xu Jingzong widened his eyes, he stammered, "I, can I?"

Song Zhen patted his shoulder heavily, and said earnestly: "You have to believe in yourself, Xu Zhongshu Ling, you can do it!"

"Okay, okay." Xu Jingzong got off the horse without saying anything.

This is a great honor, actually walking in front of a group of second-rank ministers.

Really, Thai pants are hot!

Although the three masters and three ministers are basically idle positions, their status is there.

Xu Jingzong is really grateful to Song Zhen, grateful that he let him be mighty and domineering at the ceremony.

This is an opportunity to be remembered for thousands of years.

Future generations will read in history books: "On the winter solstice of the second year of Xianqing, the Emperor and Empress granted a grand ceremony. Xu Jingzong held the sign, was in the front row, and led hundreds of officials and thousands of ministers into the venue."

"Wonderful!" Xu Jingzong really was. The more he looked at Song Zhen, the more he felt that this kid had a promising future.

Song Zhen had received professional training, and under normal circumstances, he would not laugh.

He nodded silently, asking all the cars, horses, and people to return to their positions and do the process again.

"Xu Zhongshu Ling, can you walk faster?"

"Hey, hey, hey, the sign is crooked! Straighten it, haven't you eaten?"

"Hold the sign above your head, so that it will be imposing!"

"Return to your position, and do it again!"
