After the golden autumn, the Tang Dynasty ushered in another good harvest year. The people of Chang'an gathered together warmly in teahouses and restaurants, discussing Bai Ya's return from the Yellow River, and guessing where she would go to become an official. Generally, only those with second rank had the opportunity to serve as governors, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were also Gongsheng who petitioned for orders for the people and directly became the precedent of governors.
The governorship is not a real job. After you become famous, you will be rewarded based on your merits. Even so, after all, this year's imperial examination champions are only in the sixth rank at most. This is also a precedent.
While everyone was discussing, news came from people in the palace that Bai Ya had entered the court and had an official position. She was a doctor in the Treasury Department and was on the fifth rank. Everyone was shocked. Bai Ya not only broke the precedent, but was also assigned to an important position.
¡¡
"Is the fifth rank a high official?"
Jiang Qichen looked at everyone's excited faces and asked blankly. The young people in the mountains also knew little about official positions, and the emperor did not look down on them and was equally confused.
"My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is only a third-rank official. The Prime Minister I know, grandpa, was the highest official in the previous dynasty, and he is only a third-rank official."
Teng Ruoyu took over the words. She was also the most qualified person to explain this kind of thing.
"The old man who fought with us must be a first-class guy."
"That was the teacher of the late emperor. The position of Taifu is of course the first rank. The three princes are all the first rank, but there has been no Taibao in the Tang Dynasty. The Taifu disappeared and the Taishi died at the hands of the Grand Master. Now the biggest officials are the generals everywhere. The second rank or from the second rank. They do not participate in political discussions, but the fifth rank has to go to court."
Jiang Qichen still didn't understand, but he also became happy. Bai Ya finally got his wish and became a high official. He turned his eyes to Bai Ya and looked at her seriously. Bai Ya was a little coquettish: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Looking at your face, I will be able to recognize you next time I see you."
Bai Ya laughed loudly and said to Jiang Qichen: "I just came back, but I'm sure someone will come to give you gifts soon. I don't want to see him. I want to go somewhere and you can accompany me."
"OK!"
¡¡
Day Restaurant!
It¡¯s a place in Chang¡¯an where both civilians and bureaucrats are willing to come for a drink. The food here is mediocre, but the wine is good. Moreover, regardless of superiority or inferiority here, people come on a first-come, first-served basis.
This month, when the restaurant opens, a young man will inevitably come in and drink until the restaurant closes. Bai Ya brought Jiang Qichen here, but was stopped just as she was about to enter.
Jiang Qichen said ostentatiously: "This is my Lord Bai, today is his first day as an official."
The waiter kept smiling, but refused to give in. "The Prime Minister is here, it's time to take a seat."
Jiang Qichen was rejected and muttered: "I just said that this fifth-level official is not a high official." Bai Ya was not angry, but said: "I don't see that one day our roles will be reversed. You want to lend me this Tigers, foxes pretend to be powerful. Unfortunately, my tiger is not powerful enough."
"Hey, let's wait a moment."
"No need to wait."
Bai Ya saluted and explained to the waiter that he was here to find someone. The waiter heard the description and took them to a single room. A handsome young man looked at the sachet in his hand with drunken eyes. The door was pushed open, and the young man shouted loudly without raising his head: "What are you doing? Didn't I pay for the drink?"
"Mr. Bai, this woman said she is your sister."
The young man raised his eyelids and laughed: "Bai Ya, come to see my joke, welcome, welcome."
Bai Ya told the waiter to leave, sat at the wine table, poured a glass of wine for the young man, and said gently: "Bai Yan, you can make mistakes in life, but you can't make them again and again."
"I am right."
"After your father died, you left the Bai family and moved into the home of your in-laws. You didn't care about the life and death of the Bai family. This was a mistake."
"I was fifteen years old that year, and I met Xiaohuan by chance. She was two years older than me, and I still fell in love with her at first sight. I wanted to marry her, but she said that Li Chuanshi only had her daughter, and the family wanted to recruit a son-in-law. I asked my father We discussed it, but my father wouldn't allow it. The next day, I prepared to be like Chang'an and insisted on getting married, but my father wouldn't allow me to be locked up at home."
Bai Ya knew about these things. When Bai Yan came to discuss it with her, she chose to ignore it. At that time, Bai Ya, who was focused on the family, did not care about her younger brother's feelings at all. She firmly believed that compared with admiring a woman, the only son of the Bai family should be the head of the Bai family.
"It's all over."
"No, you don't know anything."
"How come I didn't know that you were imprisoned for several months and took advantage of your father's sudden illness to secretly go to Beijing and become your son-in-law?"
"I just said you don't know anything."
?Smoking and drinking, with a proud smile, he was laughing at Bai Ya for being a fool. Jiang Qichen watched from the side, pulled Bai Ya up, and said seriously: "Let's not talk to him anymore. Let's go home. Everyone is waiting for you to celebrate."
"That's right, Mr. Bai, go home and have a drink, and then while you're drunk, have a wedding with this villager."
After hearing this, Bai Ya slapped Bai Yan. Bai Yan went to grab Bai Ya's hand, and was about to succeed, but his hand was grabbed by Jiang Qichen. Jiang Qichen was rarely serious: "What are you going to do?"
Bai Yan shook Jiang Qichen's hand away, applauded, shook his head and said, "Sure enough, Jiang Qichen, who defeated Li Chuanshi, has some eyesight." After hearing this, Bai Ya understood and looked at Bai Yan like the white and tender hands of a scholar: " My hands were painted with poison.¡±
Bai Yan put his hand into the wine glass, and the white wine changed color instantly. Bai Ya's beauty turned pale: "Who turned you into this?"
Sighing, drinking poisonous wine, meditating, Bai Yan's behavior was incomprehensible, but he was thinking, and then said quietly: "After I was imprisoned by my father for several months, Li Chuanshi came to our house and told his daughter about the separation from me. Afterwards, I suffered from the pain of lovesickness, and then he gave me a glass of water, saying it was rare in the world. After I drank it, I became the poisonous body I am now."
Bai Ya is very smart. She didn't dare to think about it, but she couldn't control it and looked sad. Jiang Qichen helped Bai Ya and asked, "Bai Yan, is your father's sudden illness related to you?"
"If he is dead, no one will stop me from entering Beijing."
Bai Ya was so angry that she trembled all over, pointed at Bai Yan's nose and shouted hysterically: "He is your father."
"So what? People are selfish. What can I do for myself? Don't speak for him. He has carefully cultivated you since childhood. In fact, he has already arranged a way to marry you to General Gu of Jizhou as a concubine. If If he hadn't died and the marriage plan had been aborted, would you have been as happy as you are now?"
"He did this not for you, but for the Bai family."
"I don't think so. After seeing Xiaohuan, I knew that my life was born for Xiaohuan."
"Where is that woman? Judging from your virtue, I must have dumped you."
When Bai Yan heard this, his expression instantly became very sad. He shed tears and said, "She is dead. She was killed by Li Zhi."
Bai Ya didn¡¯t react for a moment and was stunned. Bai Yan said faintly: "Li Zhi is very smart. He knows that if Xiaohuan is alive, as long as he says a word, I will risk my life to save Li Chuanshi. Therefore, before Li Chuanshi is defeated by you, he must first Renbu sent someone to assassinate Xiaohuan. Without Xiaohuan, I would not have saved Li Chuanshi, but I would avenge Xiaohuan. I would make the Tang Dynasty bleed into rivers. I would save tens of thousands of people, no, tens of millions of people. Buried with Xiaohuan."
Bai Ya was so anxious that she cried: "Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Qichen pulled Bai Ya and said seriously: "He said it very seriously."
Bai Yan wiped away his tears, looked at Bai Ya, and said as if taking an oath: "Now is Xiaohuan's funeral day. After seven or forty-nine days, the Tang Dynasty will bleed." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
