Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 24 Entering the imperial department, job arrangement!

early morning.

The sun rises in the east, and the golden sunlight fills the earth, and everything wakes up in the light.

Xu Yan refined the first ray of morning sun purple energy, then got up, took a high-grade Qi and blood pill, and started his daily martial arts practice after time travel.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the help of the golden finger, when practicing martial arts, various martial arts insights would continue to burst out, which made him feel addicted to solving problems, and he couldn't get tired of it.

In addition, every time you practice martial arts, you can personally feel the improvement in strength.

Xu Yan probably really couldn't hold on.

Because practicing martial arts is really hard and tiring.

For details, you can refer to the military training at the university. During the military training at the university, it took only half a month to cry father and mother.

If you make them stand up, fight, and practice martial arts every day, isn't it more painful than killing them?

Especially if you want to practice real kung fu, ordinary people practice three nines in winter and three days in summer. They have to practice for more than ten or twenty years before they can achieve small success and become a martial artist.

And those sons of aristocratic families, even with ointments and elixir as supplements, ginseng and deer antler as food every day, coupled with their own diligence and talent, it will take three to five years at the earliest to achieve some small success.

The most important thing is that you can't leave your fists and tunes. If you don't practice for one day, your hands and feet will be slow; if you don't practice for two days, your kung fu will be halved;

Reality is not a game. Once learned, it can be solidified directly like a game skill and never forgotten.

Therefore, even if you are powerful and honorable like a martial saint, you must persist in practicing, strengthen your blood, stand up and punch every day, so that your fists and feet will not be wasted, and your will and blood will be consumed by prosperity and wealth.

[Basalt pile, experience value +1, +1...]

Because today he has to go to the Imperial Palace to report to the Imperial Palace, so Xu Yan did not practice martial arts for too long. He only practiced the basalt pile for half an hour. Under the service of the maid, he took a bath, had breakfast, and wore brand new armor. Robe, went to the palace.

In fact, wearing such a suit of armor in this scorching May season is not an ordinary suffering.

But that's what the imperial court stipulated, and Xu Yan couldn't help it.

It can only be said that the seemingly glamorous job of Ouchi bodyguards is not easy to do, and only they can understand the hard work behind it.

Especially the guards of the imperial court, because they belonged to the emperor's guards, there are more requirements and taboos.

For example: grooming must be clean and tidy, breath must be kept fresh, drink less water before going to work, and it is strictly forbidden to leave the post to go to the toilet, even if it is windy, thunderstorm, rainy, snowy, hailstorm, or knifed, you must stand upright. Take good care of your post, and don't leave without authorization.

The other guards of the imperial palace can still find a place to be lazy when there is no one else, but the imperial guards of the Imperial Palace can't.

Because you work under the eyes of the emperor, once you are sent down by the emperor, you will be dereliction of duty, you will be sent to prison and dismissed from your post, or you will lose your head directly, the risk is extremely high.

to be honest.

After Xu Yan read the precautions and taboos of the Imperial Division last night, as well as the situation of the generals of the Imperial Division, he had the idea of ​​resigning directly.

It's not easy, okay?
The only good news is that today's Daqian Yuqiansi has almost been replaced by the Imperial City Secretary, and has become a gold-plated place for the children of the powerful and powerful in Beijing.

The Emperor Dagan didn't expect these young soldiers who had never been on the battlefield and didn't have much actual combat experience to protect themselves.

Therefore, besides guarding the gate, the work of the Imperial City Division is more of a face-to-face role. If something really happens, the Imperial City Division must be the first to step up.

Daqian Huangchengsi, also known as the Jinyiwei in another world, drives the guards directly in the palm of his hand, patrolling and arresting them!
Daqian Palace.

Yuqiansi, government office.

After Xu Yan came to Yuqian Division, he immediately went to the office of Pingyang Marquis Cao Qing, the commander of Yuqian Division, to report: "Humble post, Zhaowu Colonel Xu Yan, meet the general!"

Yuqiansi is one of the 26 personal guards of the Dagan Emperor, with one general, two generals on the left and right, 12 school lieutenants, and more than [-] civil servants such as military cao, recorded history, and minor officials, with a total of [-] personnel.

This number sounds like a lot, but it is actually less than one-tenth of the palace garrison.

In the entire Dagan Palace, there are more than [-] troops stationed in the twelve guards of the emperor alone.

If you add the Imperial City Division, Gongwei Division, Zhenmagic Division, Shangma Supervisor, etc., the military strength can reach almost 8 people.

There are eunuchs, female officials, harem concubines, etc., about [-].

All in all, all people add up to about [-], which is comparable to the total population of a county.

"No need to be polite!"

Cao Qing, who was also wearing heavy armor, opened his mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "It is undoubtedly an honor for our Imperial Division to be able to join our Imperial Division. This Marquis believes that our Imperial Division has a young hero like Captain Xu to join us." , I will definitely be able to serve the emperor better in the future."

"My lord is too praised, and my subordinates absolutely cannot afford such a compliment." Xu Yan is not a newcomer in the workplace, and he will definitely not take such a scene seriously.

He knows very well that the more polite the boss is to you, the more he is alienating you and not treating you as one of his own.

In this case, if you don't want to be alienated or wear little shoes, the best way is to take the initiative to close the relationship with your boss, instead of being complacent and taking your boss's kind words seriously.

"My lord can just call me to make a promise. Before I left the house today, my grandfather kept telling me that I want to join the imperial court, learn from my lord, and be loyal and responsible for your majesty..."

Xu Yan was extremely flattering, all kinds of beautiful words seemed to be free of money, he didn't have the arrogance that a teenager should have at all, and he didn't have the slightest pride in claiming credit.

In addition, he pulled the old man out, not to show off the background, but to tell Cao Qing that there are people behind him, and the old man still values ​​him very much, so Cao Qing should not fool him as a fool and a fool.

Cao Qing looked at Xu Yan in surprise, as if wondering why Xu Yan's performance was so different from the information he had collected, he didn't look like a playboy at all, but like a little fox, slippery It's not easy to deal with.

However, Cao Qing has been in court for decades and has become an old fox. It is impossible for him to change his mind just because of Xu Yan's temporary performance.

"How about the old Hou Ye's body come in?"

"My lord, thanks to His Majesty, my grandfather's body is still strong, but he can be eclipsed by the sun." Xu Yan replied respectfully.

"How is your father's condition, but he is still obsessed with history books as usual?"

……

"I think back then, I had a lot of friendship with your father, so in the future, you can just call me 'Uncle Cao' in private, there is no need to be so polite."

"Okay, Uncle Cao!"

Xu Yan climbed up the pole.

Although I don't know what the purpose of Cao Qing's nonsense is, but the county magistrate is not as good as he is now, who makes him the boss of Yuqiansi, so although Xu Yan is impatient, he can only cooperate.

Until we chatted about homework for a long time.

Cao Qingcai talked about the key issue and asked: "Imperial Secretary has a great responsibility, responsible for the safety of His Majesty and the nobles in the palace, and there are many areas that need to be guarded. I wonder what my nephew thinks?"

Yuqiansi said that he was the emperor's bodyguard, protecting the emperor's safety.

However, it is impossible for the [-] officers and soldiers of the Imperial Palace to follow the Emperor Dagan all day long, and most of them are responsible for guarding the gates of the palaces.

Some palaces, such as Qianming Palace, etc., not only frequented by the emperor, but also by the officials of the court and princes, princes, etc., the easiest way to get in touch with nobles, naturally they are the sweet pastries in the imperial court.

Some palaces, such as Lenggong Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Donghua Palace, etc., the emperor does not necessarily visit once a year. Except for the eunuchs and maids who clean the palace, there are no other people at all. Naturally, everyone in Yuqiansi is unwilling to go.

In addition, there are guarding the Yuqian Division's camp, responsible for the etiquette and rules training of the Yuqian Division's recruits, and guarding the Yuqian Division's granary and arms warehouse, etc., all of which require personnel to guard.

So, it doesn't mean that as long as you join the imperial court, you can become the emperor's bodyguard, and you can often hang around under the emperor's nose, be favored by the emperor, and be in the eyes of the emperor.

When Xu Yan heard Cao Qing's question, he couldn't help but suddenly realized.

This guy has been chatting with himself for so long, presumably it is to pave the way for his work arrangement.

But it was exactly what he wanted.

If he had to choose by himself, he would definitely want to choose an easier job, preferably the one that can eat and wait to die, and lie flat completely.

He didn't believe that since he had just arrived, he would be able to obtain important positions such as guarding the Qianming Palace and managing the logistics of the Imperial Division.

The former is easy to express oneself, facilitates promotion, and is reused by the emperor.

The latter is in charge of the logistics money bag of Yuqiansi, which is rich in oil and water and easy to make money.

Even though he, the Captain Zhaowu of the Imperial Division, was bestowed by the emperor, Xu Yan didn't think it would be his turn to do such a good thing. The most likely thing was to guard some unimportant palaces, and he was the one who couldn't rank among the many positions in the Imperial Division.

thought here.

Xu Yan made a decision in his mind, and said frankly: "This matter can be arranged by the adults, and I don't have any opinions on the humble job."

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to add: "It's just that I'm young and lazy, and I haven't been in the palace for a long time, so I'm not very proficient in the rules and etiquette in the palace. Nephew arranges a job that is easy and not easy to offend people."

Ok.

He almost didn't say it directly, and asked Cao Qing to arrange a clear water post for him, and let him guard the fish pond.

Cao Qing was stunned. Obviously he didn't expect Xu Yan to say that, so he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "You kid, how can you have such unmotivated thoughts at such a young age?"

"However, you are right. You are still young, and because of this incident, you have offended many people. It is good to arrange a casual job for the time being. When the turmoil is over, I will arrange an important job for you."

"Nowadays, the more leisurely positions in the Imperial Division mainly include: guarding the Imperial Division's camp, training recruits on etiquette rules, guarding the arsenal of the camp, guarding the Lenggong area, guarding the Donghua Hall, Jiaotai Hall, offering sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, the Ancestral Temple, and the Wuji Temple Wait."

"Look where you want to go, I'll arrange it!"
