Dawn!
Outside the main gate of the Di Residence.
Di Renjie was dressed in an official robe and walked in front in high spirits.
As for Di Yun, he followed behind him with his eyes closed.
It was the first time he woke up so early after traveling for 21 years.
There weren't many people on the streets. Just like in his previous life, other than the businessmen who went to prepare, there were only these officials left.
The Emperor and officials of the Great Tang had suffered too much.
Especially the officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven. They were truly bitter and could not be lazy at all.
The people in the capital were more comfortable. Not only did they have food and drink, but their income was still relatively high compared to other areas.
"Hurry up. You're already an official, yet you're still so lazy.”
Aiya!
" Brother, you have a carriage," Di Yun said helplessly." I got it for you from a third-grade official's carriage."”
"Which way?"
Di Renjie shook his head helplessly and said,""Just a mile."
"Brother's carriage is of a higher standard than the other third rank officials such as the minister of Taichang Temple, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, and the chancellor of the country.”
"Keep a low profile, lest you get jealous."
The corners of Di Yun's mouth twitched as he rolled his eyes at Di Renjie.
Now, she finally realized that she would be envied.
"Alright, let's go!"
Just like that, the two of them headed to the east gate of the Imperial City, which was the Sun Gate.
"By the way, I had such bad diarrhea last night and my stomach was so uncomfortable.”
"Huaiyu, what about you?"
When Di Yun heard this, he was stunned at first. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly!
Di Renjie did not see this detail.
"Alright!"
After walking for a while, they passed through the Imperial City and arrived at the south gate of the Imperial Palace, which was also the main gate.
It was named after Empress Wu Zetian, the 'Zetian Gate'!
There were already many civil and military officials waiting in front of Zetian's main gate.
"Good morning, Lord Di!" Zhangsun Wuji smiled warmly.”
Di Renjie returned the greeting without losing his manners.""Good morning, Lord Zhangsun!"
"Di Renjie, I, Old Cheng, came to welcome you yesterday. I stood there for almost two hours and you didn't even greet me.”
"Is this how an acquaintance is treated?"
"Tonight, you must get drunk. You must punish yourself with three jars of wine.”
Di Renjie looked at the general who was even bigger than him and laughed.
"State Duke Lu, my Big Brother Cheng, as you know, after His Majesty came, he left.”
"Tonight, I can punish myself with three cups, but three jars will make me drunk.”
"I'm not you. I'm a scholar.”
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes at Di Renjie."Scholars have dirty hearts. Humble. Do you think I don't know your martial arts?”
"Three years ago, you were working in Ningzhou Province, and so was I.”
"At that time, we encountered a group of robbers and attacked at the same time.”
"I, Old Cheng, admire your swordsmanship.”
"If we hadn't fought against the enemy together that time, would we have known each other?”
Di Renjie immediately said modestly,"You're overpraising me."”
"I learned self-defense from a wandering swordsman for three months.”
"How would I dare to embarrass myself in front of Brother Zhijie?”
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin asked in disbelief,""Three months?"
"Are you sure? Just three months?"
" Three months? Do you think you can do that?"
"I taught him for three months and then practiced it myself!" Di Renjie smiled faintly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Renjie couldn't help but think!
Why was his family so fated to meet a 'wandering person' who was elusive and rarely seen in a lifetime?
Uncle Wu's youngest son was taught by a wandering Taoist priest.
And he was taught by a wandering swordsman he met six years ago.
His younger brother Di Yun was also fated with the word 'Wander', so he knew many wandering experts.
Especially the wandering Hu merchants, he had met them for a long time in the past.
In the past, the fresh food and whatnot were all bought from traveling Hu merchants.
As he thought about it, he looked at his younger brother who was standing there looking around.
Sigh!
The more he looked, the more helpless he became!
He was still idling around in the palace.
As long as he fought for a bit, the old Taoist Wandering would not look down on him. Instead, he would look at Uncle Wu's youngest son, Wu Yong.
"Huaiyu, what are you looking at?"
"Brother, the city wall is so tall and imposing," Di Yun hurriedly replied.”
"This house is so big. The glazed tiles are so grand!”
"I've never seen such a magnificent building!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he also gave a thumbs up to Yang Guang, the Sui Ming Emperor who built this palace.
"It's right to come out and experience more!”
"Come, let me introduce you."
"These are the ministers you didn't greet yesterday.”
Sigh!
After answering, Di Yun jogged to Di Renjie's side.
Immediately after, he greeted the ministers who were still in the circle and had a longer life than Li Er.
The most famous ones were Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji was still the same old Minister of Personnel.
Cheng Yaojin, on the other hand, was doing very well. He was already a second-grade general.
"Not bad, not bad. This young man has a bright future.”
Looking at Cheng Yaojin's sly look, Di Yun only wanted to say to him," I don't believe you!"
However, he still greeted him respectfully,"State Duke Lu, you flatter me?”
"No!"
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji's eyes widened.
"Huaiying, you just said that your brother came to court because he was also conferred an official position?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the seventy to eighty people present all looked at Di Yun.
There were elders, middle-aged people, and even the younger generation whose father had been demoted.
There were both old and middle-aged!
And they were divided into four teams!
First, the ministers who were loyal to Wu Zetian from the bottom of their hearts were mostly from poor families.
Secondly, the people of the aristocratic family groups should maintain the mindset of putting the family's interests first.
Third, the Zhenguan minister was loyal to the country, but on the surface, he was loyal to Wu Zetian.
The fourth was the Martial Royalty. On the surface, they were loyal to Wu Zetian, but they always wanted to replace her.
Di Yun looked at the seventy to eighty pairs of eyes and immediately gave each of them a seat.
These people with different standpoints and factions had an incomparable tacit understanding at this moment.
Their expressions were the same: astonishment, shock, disbelief, and so on!
Soon, there were some voices in the crowd.
The source of these voices were mostly descendants of hereditary families, aristocratic families, and imperial families.
Their shrewdness was not as deep as the old and middle-aged ministers.
They dared to make a sound because they thought that Di Yun and Di Renjie couldn't hear them.
However, Di Renjie couldn't hear it at this distance, but Di Yun could hear it clearly.
"You can be an official just like that?"
"With this aptitude, he can be conferred an official position?"
"And an official who is qualified to go to court?"
"Biased!"
"That's right. Aunt's elbow is specially siding with outsiders!”
Cough cough!
At this moment, a vigorous and mature cough came from behind.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Young man, it's not good to gossip behind others 'backs!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Even the descendants of the imperial family did not dare to say anything more!
