Dawn lights up the sky, and the wind-blown clouds above the bustling city are red like fire, and the scorching sun's first kiss turns them crimson.

Today, she rests and does not need to go to court. Shi Min habitually gets up early and goes to the school grounds for morning exercises, horse riding, and archery. Every time she comes to the school grounds, she will think of Xing Boen and the others. There are their sweat and footprints here, but now she is the only one left. one person.

As a friend, she really wanted them to be by her side, but as a leader, she had to let them go to a place to practice, not because she was cruel, for their own good, and had to do so.

Lu Guanchu, who was at the side of the attendant, saw that His Majesty did not release the arrow after drawing the bow for half a day. He already guessed one or two things, but he still didn't say what he wanted to say. Meal matters", Xixia is resting today, the matter of the two of them naturally fell on Fanqiu.

Fan Qiu gladly took the order and left, even if the Chief Lu did not order, she was going to arrange it later, because usually archery is the last item that His Majesty practiced in the school grounds, at most one stick of incense, and now it has started for a while .

In fact, whether it is Lu Guanchu or them, they are just arranging and supervising, and the specific matters are handled by the palace servants, except for serving His Majesty closely.

After Fan Qiu left, Shi Min finally let go, and waved the blue flag after 100 meters away from the outer palace attendant to check, the arrow missed the red heart very rarely, Lu Guanchu swallowed back the words he was ready to applaud, and handed him a arrow.

When the arrow was shot, Shi Min knew he missed it, took the arrow again, took the bow, drew the bow, took aim, let go, the red flag waved this time hit the heart, "Your Majesty's arrow skills are really getting better and better" Lu Guan Chu congratulated with a smile.

Shi Minruo glanced at Lu Guanchu, took the arrow, and said slowly: "It's hard for you", it's hard for you to compliment me so insincerely, just ignore the arrow just now, and make her able to ride a horse before enthroning I don't know the same thing about shooting a moving target.

"Your Majesty forgives me for talking too much." Lu Guanchu put away his smiling face and confessed urgently. Although he knew that His Majesty would not lose his temper easily, if he really lost his temper, it would not be something she could bear.

Pulling the bow and letting go, hit the red heart again, looked up, the sun was dazzling, "Okay, get up", handed the bow to Lu Guanchu, turned around and went to the pergola, and as soon as he sat down, two palace servants with fans came up to fan the wind .

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that His Majesty was not really angry, Lu Guanchu's face resumed a smile, handed the bow to the palace attendant to put it away, and quickly followed him to pour tea, "Your Majesty, please use tea."

There is a pergola built in the middle of the northern edge of the school grounds, enough to accommodate dozens of people. Although it cannot block the east wind, it is still very practical for sheltering from summer, rain and snow. It is convenient for her to rest, and it is also a viewing platform.

This is the second time for her to rest. After practicing all morning, the back and chest of the originally clean, fresh and breathable summer silk and satin casual clothes are already soaked with sweat. A cup is better.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the former Prime Minister Xuanyuan Mote came to bid farewell to Your Majesty" Just as she was drinking water, a palace servant hurried over from the gate of the school grounds.

Shi Min stood up when he heard the words, "Wait outside the Xuan Wen Xuan Hall, take good care of it", "Yes, Your Majesty" the palace attendant took the order to leave.

"Back to Fengde Palace" It's inconvenient for her to see the minister in this state, she has to go back to wash and change clothes.

It was also here that she realized that the emperor, royal family members and officials don’t always wear three layers of inner and outer layers like those shown on TV anytime and anywhere, and they are almost the same type, style, and material from the beginning to the end. The gown has become a fixed impression.

In fact, otherwise, only auspicious clothes, court clothes and wedding clothes can be called royal robes. Ji clothes are the ones she wore when she ascended the throne, and are usually only worn by major sacrifices; court clothes are purple, with nine tail feathers embroidered on the front and back Round-neck robes are worn during court and major events, and may or may not be worn when meeting ministers.

The wedding dress is the same as the court dress, but it is only bright red, and it is worn once for marriage, and the corresponding crown, belt, accessories and shoes are also matched.But what she wears most is casual clothes, which are not so particular, and the color and style can be whatever she likes, as long as they are comfortable to wear.

Her dressing style is relatively simple and elegant, so most of her casual clothes are solid colors, with only some simple patterns embroidered on the edges. She is not as fond of gold borders as the first emperor, nor is she fond of embroidering various patterns like Wu Zong.

Therefore, after going to court, she will change into casual clothes and wear a small crown instead of wearing the heavy crown of the emperor, and she will not be restrained in the imperial robe. The gait is unsteady, the standing posture is wrong and shakes randomly, which damages the posture.

In addition to styles, there are also spring and autumn clothes, summer clothes and winter clothes. Spring and autumn clothes are moderately thick and usually wear three layers; winter clothes are thick and warm and generally wear four layers; summer clothes are light, thin and breathable and generally only wear two layers. Also wear clogs.

There are not so many styles of royal, noble and official clothes, only divided into court clothes, wedding clothes and casual clothes. Wedding clothes are the same as court clothes, but the color is different. It is bright red. Generally, court clothes are worn when facing saints and attending major events. They also wear casual clothes at home.

So the ministers she met, except for those who were secretly summoned by the governor who ordered them not to wear official uniforms, the others were all wearing official uniforms, just because the materials were different in different seasons.Officials at the beginning of their official positions can go to the Ministry of Officials to receive two sets of official uniforms in spring and autumn, summer and winter. After that, they will only be issued embroidered patterns every year, which is also two pieces each.

As for whether officials use it to make official uniforms for tailors or for their families, it is up to them. In fact, the Hua Dynasty was all inclusive at the beginning. During the Wuzong period, there was a short-term financial crisis due to the Eight Kings Rebellion. It was decisively changed to only issue patch patterns, which saved a lot of expenses, and later became a regular practice.

Otherwise, even if Wu Zong didn't change it, she would change it like this when she came to her place, because it saved money.By the time she finished washing and changed into a set of clean casual clothes and rushed to Wenxuan Hall, it was already half an hour later.

When she saw Teacher Xuanyuan again, she realized that the teacher was much older than before she became prime minister. Her temples were gray and the wrinkles on her forehead were clearly visible. This was the testimony of her hard work for the prime minister for four years.

But hard work and credit are not necessarily equal. Xuanyuanmo is full of talent. She is a good teacher, but she still lacks some courage and decisiveness when she is a prime minister. In addition, she slowly and deliberately empties the power of prime minister, so naturally she can't make any big achievements. , "When is the teacher going to leave?".

After His Majesty announced at the court that civil servants could retire and return home when they reached 65 years old, she, who was already over seventy years old, immediately made another memorial to ask for her farewell and return home. Accurate.

Now she is unofficial and light, her face has never been relaxed, and she is wearing comfortable casual clothes. It took three days to hand over the work and pack the luggage, and it was finally completed yesterday, so I came to the palace early this morning to express to His Majesty. farewell.

"The old minister is going to leave in the afternoon. After this farewell, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see His Majesty's beauty again. The old minister can only think about it at home, pray for His Majesty, and be loyal." Xuanyuan Mo had already choked up after speaking, and if it wasn't for His Majesty, tears would have flowed down his face.

Shi Min is her only student. She almost watched her grow up to this age. She likes this studious, respectful, and polite student. She puts more energy and thoughts on her than her own children; she is also her monarch. , the resolute, courageous and courageous emperor, she wants to be loyal to the court, but based on her understanding of His Majesty, leaving is the greatest loyalty she can do.

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely visit you when I have time." Shi Min didn't expect that the teacher would be so sad because he would not see him in the future, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, the king of a country, how can you leave Fandu rashly? Please stop thinking about it, otherwise the veteran will not feel at ease even if he leaves." Xuanyuan Mo suddenly stood up and loudly advised, for fear that His Majesty would really visit him.

Seeing such a teacher Xuanyuan, Shi Min seemed to have returned to the time when he was studying in the Si Xuefang.

After getting a definite answer, Xuanyuan Mo sat back again, but looked at His Majesty who was handsome and radiant, and thought: "Your Majesty, I watched you grow up, your forbearance, your ambition, your ability All the veterans can see that the position of prime minister looks beautiful, but it is actually feared by the imperial power. Since taking the post of prime minister, all veterans have been trembling, lest they make mistakes and act like teachers and ministers.

After the old minister knew that you had plans to cancel the post of prime minister, he wrote a letter of resignation. I didn't expect that you would stay and not send it. Blame you, but be proud of you.The old minister believes that you will be a good emperor in the future, and leaving is the last thing the old minister can do for His Majesty. Although it is regrettable, I am very relieved'.

Shi Min, who saw the teacher's thoughts clearly, was moved and ashamed. She did plan to cancel the position of prime minister, so she deliberately and slowly removed the position of prime minister. The teacher cooperated actively from the beginning to the end. I thought it was because the teacher was thinking of retiring and returning home, but I didn't expect it to be like this!

"Measuring the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain" probably refers to her now. She got up and walked in front of Xuanyuan Mo, "Please accept my gift, teacher." Xuanyuan Mo, who didn't know what she was going to do, hurriedly heard the words He stood up to stop him, but was fixed there by His Majesty "I order you to stand there and don't move", and he was bowed by His Majesty.

Shi Min rewarded Xuanyuanmo with an imperial pen and ten taels of gold, and took her to have breakfast together. The two talked a lot, and she realized that the teacher had not changed, and that she had always been herself, and that the one who was jealous and suspicious had always been For herself, with a guilty heart, she personally sent the teacher outside the Chengtian Gate, which she will never forget for a long time.

For a minister like Xuanyuan Mo who is still loyal even after being wronged, she sincerely admires it. Most of the people here, except for Sikong Yu and Yang Zhihong, have a heart of loyalty and patriotism. Heart, the people want very little, food and clothing, and the justice they deserve, she will devote her life to fighting for it.

In addition to Xuanyuan Mo, there are more than a dozen court officials who have resigned due to age and returned to their hometowns. Local officials have received 33 copies so far. According to the number of officials verified by the Ministry of Officials, there are a total of 350 officials who meet the conditions for resignation. After returning to their hometowns, they can still receive half of their salary when they were on the job. Although they cannot become rich and powerful, they are more than enough to live in a well-off life and have no worries about food and clothing.

One afternoon in mid-July in the fourth year of Tianfu, Yan Yinuo and Bu Qianxue, who had been exhausted and busy all the way, suffered from the summer heat, finally arrived in Fandu. Wang Peiming and Bi Ye, who were treated like prisoners, lost weight even more. It was a few degrees darker. ?
