In waiting hall of Administrative Office lanai, Zhang Yu wears the traditional scholars Celestial Xia clothes, sits calmly is waiting there. 治署外廊的一间候厅之内,张御身着传统的士子天夏衣冠,坐在那里静静等候着。 In big space, only then he alone sits here. 偌大的空间内,只有他一个人坐在这里。 In outside great hall has in a hurry sound of footsteps from far to near, then the waiting hall front door was shoved open, at most 20-year-old young minor official walked, the vision is looking like to him, both hands lift bow with hands clasped, said: „Joint Administrator Zhang, all gentlemen asked you to enter the hall to chat, please along with me come.” 外面大堂之中有一阵匆匆脚步声由远及近,而后候厅大门被推开,一名至多20余岁的年轻吏员走了进来,目光对着他看来,双手抬起一揖,道:“张参治,诸公请你入堂叙话,请随我来吧。” Zhang Yu stood up, lifts the hand also to have a ritual, said: „Has the work.” 张御站了起来,抬手还有一礼,道:“有劳。” „Does not dare.” “不敢。” young minor official polite, side over one step, the position of making way entrance, serious expression said: „Please.” 年轻吏员客气一句,侧过一步,让开门口的位置,正容道:“请。” Zhang Yu walked from waiting hall, young minor official leads the way in front. 张御自候厅内走了出来,年轻吏员在前面引路。 Administrative Office is in the inner city terrace the largest constructions, the inner space is extremely broad, two people proceeded the small little while along the spatial broad corridor, this stopped before a giant entrance. 治署是内城台地内规模最大的建筑,内部空间极其广阔,两人沿着空广的廊道往前走了小半刻,这才在一座巨大门庭之前停下。 young minor official said at this time: „Joint Administrator Zhang, here goes in toward, was the Discussion Hall lanai hall, after you accepted people inquiry here, has walked forward, can then enter in Great Discussion Hall, I inconvenienced into, halted in this.” 年轻吏员这时道:“张参治,这边往里进去,就是议堂的外廊厅了,你在这里接受民询之后,一直向前走,便可由此进入大议堂中,我不便入内,就在此止步了。” A Zhang Yu nod, then pushes the door to walk into toward , after taking a section of road, what appears before him is a porch hall corridor, the both sides are rows of assume the stepped stone platform seat, this moment above sits more than 30 people scattered, the men and women have, looked that the attire compares Jane/simple to be simple, some places are also having the patch, but washes and starches is very clean, irons is very smooth. 张御一点头,便推门往里走入进去,走了一段路后,出现在他面前的是一座廊厅过道,两侧是一排排呈阶梯状石台席座,此刻上面零零散散坐着三十余人,男女都有,看去衣着比较简朴素淡,有些地方还打着补丁,但都浆洗的很干净,也熨的很平整。 This inside many people are young, but many people are actually a full wind and frost, exposes is thick outside both hands joint, full is a callus, but the body skeleton somewhat is some distortions, but the muscle relatively is quite sturdy, could see that here most people are take the physical strength to live to live. 这里面不少人年纪不大,但许多人却是面满风霜,暴露在外面的双手骨节粗大,满是老茧,而身躯骨骼多多少少都是有些变形,而肌肉却相对比较壮实,看得出这里多数人是以体力活为生的。 This more than 30 people actually mostly people from Protectorate most low level, but actually cannot underestimate them because of their status, to a certain extent, they decided today's Scholar Selection result. 这三十余人其实大多都是来自都护府最底层的民众,不过却不能因他们的身份而小看他们,在某种程度上,他们决定了今天士选的结果。 Any person who participates in Scholar Selection, will experience three inquiries, government inquiry, academic inquiry and people inquiry. 凡是来参与士选的人,都将经历三询,府询、学询及民询。 If in three inquiries has not passed, then Scholar Selection misses with him. 三询之中若有一个不曾通过,那么士选就与他无缘。 But in three inquiries „people inquiry”, is to come from the people dialogue of folk low level with these. 而三询之中的“民询”,就是要与这些来自民间底层的民众对话。 These people ask that his some words, or asked his some oneself issue of concern, his reply will decide these people's to his sense and judgment. 这些人会试着问他一些话,或者问他一些自己所关心的问题,他的回答则将会决定这些人对他的感官和判断。 In the past, some scholars that participate in Scholar Selection much can pass with ease „academic inquiry” and „inquire”, but cannot „people inquiry” this pass/test. 在以往,有不少参与士选的士子能轻松过去“学询”和“都询”,但是偏偏就没能过了“民询”这一关。 Does not have any other reasons, are because these came from the low level people to have the resistance and malice to them. 没有什么其他原因,就是因为这些来自底层的民众对他们产生了抗拒和恶感。 Actually these judgments often are very subjective, if not the folk has the enormous prestigious person for a long time , was very difficult to pass Scholar Selection. 其实这些判断往往是非常主观的,所以如果不是民间长期拥有极大声望的人,也就很难通过士选了。 And these low level people do not fear to offend the person, because they from being selected as that moment of inquiring, accepted the protection of Chief Commander directly. 并且这些底层民众根本不怕得罪人,因为他们从被选为询员的那一刻起,就直接接受了大都督的保护。 If there is any tries to control them or threatens their people to appear, they can by specific channel direct report government, have Chief Commander to act for them to uphold the justice at the appointed time. 若有任何试图左右他们或者威胁他们的人出现,他们都可以由一个特定的渠道直接报呈都府,到时自有大都督出面为他们主持公道。 But must say that presents everyone completely not by the influences of certain wishes, that is also not possible. However Protectorate maintains by all means minimum fair was OK immediately, finally can go through a strategic pass, looked at person of oneself Scholar Selection, this was also some test that must experience. 可要说在座所有人完全不受某些意愿的影响,那也是不可能的。但是都护府只管维持最起码的公正便就可以了,最终能否过关,就看士选之人自己了,这也算是必须经历的某种考验了。 But at this time arrival of Zhang Yu, triggered these people's low voice discussions. 而此时张御的到来,也是引发了这些人的小声议论。 „You looked, you look! This is Joint Administrator Zhang! Kills different god that in dock!” “你们看,你们看！这位就是张参治！就是在码头杀死异神的那一位！” „Is he? Recently has listened to the newspaper to raise him, probably he did many good deeds.” “就是他么？最近一直听报纸上提起他,好像他做了很多好事啊。” „Heard that he saved many people, but also in the south makes 100,000 people of native big tribe little darlings put down the weapon, is weeping and wailing to study our Celestial Xia language, this boosted our Protectorate's power and prestige greatly!” “听说他救了很多人,还在南方让一个十万人的土著大部落乖乖放下武器,哭着喊着来学习我们天夏的语言,这可是大大长了我们都护府的威风啊！” „In government some people are very bad, often told the lie to deceive people, but not necessarily really......” “都府里有些人很坏的,常说假话骗人,可不见得都是真的……” „He really attractively.” “他长得真好看。” „Yes, looks is a good person.” “是啊,一看就是好人。” Sits in the middle, the hair somewhat gray middle age robust man knits the brows, his stood up, said loudly: „everyone hear of I said one.” 一个坐在中间,头发有些花白的中年壮汉皱了皱眉,他站了起来,大声道:“诸位听我说一句。” He some prestige in the crowd, the sound gradually seemed to be peaceful. 他似乎在人群中有些威望,声音逐渐安静了下来。 The middle-aged robust man in the oneself position to Zhang Yu cupped the hands, was saying: „Joint Administrator Zhang, can I ask your several words?” 中年壮汉在自己位置上对着张御拱了拱手,道:“张参治,我可以问你几句话么？” Zhang Yu lifted the hand also a ritual, said: „Your excellency please ask.” 张御抬手还了一礼,道:“尊驾请问。” The middle-aged robust man looked about, said: „We have heard your past merit, if these real, we also admire very much, but to be honest, that left us is really far, a moment ago......” 中年壮汉看了看左右,道:“我们听说过你以往的功绩,要是那些都是真的,我们也是很佩服的,但是老实说,那离我们实在是太远了,就刚才……” He uses the hand to Discussion Hall direction one finger/refers, „a moment ago that three youngster of past, they once at the place taking office mistake, helping us do many good deeds, I also see one of them to chop firewood to light a fire for us personally, carry water the well drilling, no matter he sets the example, he at least did, but I want to ask one, what matter have you done for us?” 他用手对议堂方向一指,“就刚才过去的那三个年轻人,他们都曾在地方上任过事,帮我们做了不少好事,我还见过其中一人亲自为我们砍柴生火,挑水打井,不管他是不是做做样子吧,他至少是做了,可我想问一句,你又为我们做过什么事呢？” Some people whispered, „Joint Administrator Zhang does is the important matter.” 有人嘀咕了一句,“张参治做得都是大事。” The middle-aged robust man refutes immediately: „What is the important matter? What is the minor matter? Puts at our body matter, is the minor matter? Aren't we Protectorate's people?” 中年壮汉立刻反驳道:“什么是大事？什么是小事？搁在我们身上的事,就是小事么？我们难道不都是都护府的子民么？” He has turned the head, looks at Zhang Yu, „Joint Administrator Zhang, do you think?” 他又转过头,看着张御,“张参治,你以为呢？” Zhang Yu nodded, agrees saying: „The Protectorate's foundation, then lies in the 3 million people in area, since old times civil, was never what minor matter.” 张御点了下头,同意道:“都护府的根基,便在于疆域之内的三百万子民,自古之民事,从来就不是什么小事。” „Right, even Joint Administrator Zhang also acknowledged that this is not the minor matter.” “对吧,连张参治也承认这不是什么小事。” The middle-aged robust man looked at the surroundings, probably fought a successful battle, the imposing manner is soaring, he looks to Zhang Yu, stares at him saying: „Then Joint Administrator Zhang, what you made, can say?” 中年壮汉看了看周围,好像打了一个胜仗,气势更加高昂,他又看向张御,盯着他道:“那么张参治,你又做了些什么,可以说说么？” A Zhang Yu slightly thinking, said: „Before I not such as, that several have been the business government official in the place, but I had written many articles in the newspaper, believes that also helped a lot of Protectorate's people.” 张御微一思索,道:“我倒未曾如之前那几位在地方上做过事务官吏,不过我在报纸上曾经写过不少文章,相信也帮到了不少都护府的民众。” The middle-aged robust man knits the brows: „Writes an article?” He shakes the head, said: „Joint Administrator Zhang, article thing we cannot understand, what relations then has with us?” 中年壮汉皱眉道:“写文章？”他摇了摇头,道:“张参治,文章这东西我们都是看不懂的,那跟我们有什么关系么？” Zhang Yu sound of talking tranquil say/way: „The article word usage terminology that I write is quite simple, so long as is the people of literacy can understand . Moreover the thing that writes many are also related with the livelihood of the people, I observe everyone, this/should also has to look.” 张御语声平静道:“我写的文章用词用语较为简单,只要是识字的人都能看懂,而且写的东西也多是与民生有关,我观诸位,也该也都是有看过的。” The middle-aged robust man is somewhat puzzled, said: „Joint Administrator Zhang, you depending on what recognized that we have read your article?” 中年壮汉有些不解,道:“张参治,你凭何认定我们都看过你的文章？” Zhang Yu puts out a hand, to the period of five days in one side attendant indicated, the latter understands immediately, hands over pen and paper. He holds in the hand, brushed to write down several characters above the white paper, then put down the pen, looked up the person to the place, said: „Govern writes an article, habitually using the pen name is ‚Tao Sheng’, before once many publication in the press, recently, written has about Xia ritual.” 张御伸出手,冲着候在一侧的役从示意了一下,后者立刻明白,将一份纸笔递过来。他持笔在手,在白纸之上刷刷写下了几个字,而后放下笔来,抬头看向座上之人,道:“御写文章,惯用笔名是‘陶生’,之前曾有不少刊登于报端,最近一篇,写的则是有关于夏礼的。” „What?” “什么？” The middle-aged robust man is startled, waits for big eye looks at he, said: „You, you...... are you Tao Sheng?” 中年壮汉大吃一惊,等大眼睛看着他,道:“你,你……你是陶生？” In the seat sent out one to call out in alarm immediately, many people were standing up cannot help but, looks at that excited and some cannot believe he. 席座上顿时发出了一阵惊呼,许多人都是不由自主的站起,激动而又有些不敢相信的看着他。 In them, what many person manager is weaves cotton cloth and mine, dock transporting and other work, day after day practical training, making the situation that the body is damaged very serious. But since Tao Sheng that appears after Xia ritual, the pains of many people are not only alleviated, and also recovered the health gradually. 他们之中,有不少人从事的是织布、挖矿、码头搬运等工作,日复一日的劳作,使得身体受损的情况非常严重。可是自从陶生那一篇关于夏礼出现后,许多人的病痛不但得以缓解,并且还渐渐恢复了健康。 After Xia ritual and breathing technique announced that did not say exaggeratingly, benefitted the Protectorate myriad people, but received the biggest advantage, was they, therefore Tao Sheng of heart to disseminating this etiquette was very grateful. 在夏礼及呼吸法公布之后,不夸张的说,惠及了都护府万千子民,而其中受到最大好处的,就是他们了,所以心底对传播这套礼法的陶生十分感激。 But they do not know that who Tao Sheng is. 可他们并不知道陶生是谁。 During they imagine, thinks that possibly is some elder that has the profound knowledge, has not thought, unexpectedly will stand in front young scholars. 在他们想象之中,认为可能是某一位拥有渊博的学识的长者,可万万没想到,居然会站在面前的这一位年轻士子。 At this time an attendant holds the paper up so that everyone can see. 这时役从把张纸拿了上来给众人过目。 Above writes four characters, the above is „Xia ritual” two characters, is quite bigger, under is „Tao Sheng” two characters, appearing is slightly smaller, the tip conception, is in which the place of revolutions refraction falling, is exactly the same as the newspaper first both sides typefaces. 上面写有四个字,上方是“夏礼”二字,比较大一些,下方则是“陶生”两字,显得略小一些,无论是笔锋笔意,还是其中的转折顿落之处,与报纸首位两端的字体可谓一模一样。 Arrived this, no one has again does not believe. 到此,无人再有不信。 On the middle-aged robust man face revealed the ashamed color suddenly, his looks at Zhang Yu, opens mouth, anything has not said that finally was only the body is stiff, both hands gathered, good ritual of the standard incomparable ancient Xia. 中年壮汉脸上忽然流露出了羞愧之色,他看着张御,张了张嘴,却什么都没有说出,最后只是身体板正,双手一合,行了一个标准无比的古夏之礼。 Sitting the people in the seat is also one after another stood up, everyone in the newspapers or the friend relatives and friends place with Xia ritual that learns, sincerely to his ritual. 坐在席位上民众也都是陆陆续续站了起来,所有人都用报纸上或是友人亲朋处学到的夏礼,诚心诚意对着他一礼。 Zhang Yu stands in same place, lifts the sleeve, both hands join the palms in greeting, has a ritual earnestly. 张御则是站在原地,把袖一抬,双手合掌,认真还有一礼。 Afterward he puts down both hands, passed through the porch hall under people gaze, and is walking toward Great Discussion Hall of end place. 随后他放下双手,在众人目注之下走过了廊厅,并往着尽头处的大议堂走去。 Defends the guard bottom of porch sees him to come, in the vision were many color of one point of respect, originally before newcomer does not arrive at the gate, they will not open the door, but their two is actually one step ahead of time, the front door shoves open oneself is watching, but also to rear colleague earnest nodded. 守在门廊底端的护卫见他过来,目光之中却是多了一分敬重之色,本来来者不到门前他们是不会开门的,可是他们两个却是提前一步,将自己守着的大门推开,还对后方的同僚认真点了下头。 Then the guard in single layer corridor sees them so, looked at each other one, turns around, makes an effort to open that two leaves of heavy/thick front door inward. 而后一重廊道之中的守卫见他们如此,对视了一眼,也是转过身来,用力将那两扇厚重的大门向内推开。 In Great Discussion Hall, some people report from the porch early upwardly, mention last recommended selected scholar have crossed outside the hall porch hall, at this moment is coming toward the main hall, the spoken language that meanwhile will just now record presents, glances to elders Kuang and Yu. 大议堂中,早有人自边廊向上呈报,言及最后一位被推举的选士已过外堂廊厅,此刻正往大殿而来,同时还将方才记录下来的言语送呈上来,给况、余两位长者过目。 In the seat the person nod, this was the last gentleman lifts the candidate, waited for this arrival, must be have a result. 席座上之人都是点头,这是最后一位士举人选了,等这一位到来,应当就能有一个结果了。 At this moment, above the Great Discussion Hall hall gate transmits a depressed sound, then opens slowly inward. 就在这时,大议堂的厅门之上传来一声沉闷响动,而后缓缓向内打开。 Yang Ying at present one bright, dances with joy saying: „mister came!” 杨璎眼前一亮,欢欣鼓舞道:“先生来了！” Discussion Hall approaches by gate edge, three physique tall and straight youngster are sitting there, they are selected scholar that three academy recommend. Three people at this moment were unconsciously the body, looked in the entrance direction, the preparation took a look at oneself the opponent earnestly. 议堂边靠近门旁的边缘处,三个身姿挺拔的年轻人正坐在那里,他们是三座学宫推举出来的选士。三人此刻都是不自觉挺了挺身躯,往门口方向看去,准备认真打量一下自己的这位对手。 As the front door opens, above seat Celestial Xia various scholars, is the government government official, or Commandant An Youting, was transfers the eye to look. 而随着大门开启,席座之上无论是天夏诸士,还是都府官吏,亦或是都尉安右廷,都是转目看了过去。 After seeing only the front door, the number heavy long corridor has turned toward the far-end to extend, can see indistinctly, wears the Celestial Xia clothes, resembles under glistening jade light covers youngster, is stepping the calm step, walks gradually from the distant place. 只见大门之后,数重长长的走廊一直向着远端延伸出去,隐约可以见得,一名身着天夏衣冠,似在莹莹玉光笼罩之下的年轻人,正迈着沉稳步伐,自远处缓步走来。 ...... …… ...... ……
