Weiyang Palace is a very special palace.
At least it's very special in this life.
From Han Taizu Liu Bang to Han Ping Emperor Liu Kun, to Wang Mang, to Gongsun Shu, to the dozens of emperors that followed, and finally to Qianliang, almost all the emperors who chose to make their capital in Chang'an did so in this already small Weiyang. He ascended the throne in the palace palace.
Although Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and even Xingqing Palace in Chang'an City are larger than Weiyang Palace, emperors of all dynasties unanimously set their throne here.
But now, Weiyang Palace belongs to Daqi, which started in Guandong.
Due to the edict of Empress Liang, the entire palaces in Chang'an City were reduced to ashes by fire, and Weiyang Palace was no exception.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. The entire Weiyang Palace palace complex was redesigned and rebuilt. This task was handed over to Yuan Kai, who was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and a descendant of Qianliang's family of master builders.
As a result, this palace is much larger than the original Weiyang Palace. It is dominated by the majestic elegance and simplicity of Qin and Han Dynasty architecture, supplemented by the characteristics of grand scale, majesty, luxury and exquisiteness that have been formed since Qianliang.
The design started when Emperor Taizu captured Chang'an in the fourth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. Construction started in the sixteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign and was completed in the first year of Emperor Xianqing's reign. It took twenty-eight years and consumed three generations of Yuan Kai, Yuan Jian and Yuan Bisha. After a lot of hard work, the second largest palace in Daqi finally stood in the world!
"I'm waiting for you to enter the palace through Xi'an Gate. Although it will take a while to walk to the front hall, you have already entered Weiyang Palace." Ignoring the hints in the eyes of the censors in the Wenban class, Jia Hui whispered. Explaining to Xu Le.
From time to time, Xu Le would act as if he had suddenly realized something, and he would always ask a question at the right time. After getting the answer, he would show that ecstatic look.
Although I know that Xu Le is complimenting me, this feeling of being a teacher and showing off to others is really great!
As for the looks from the literary class next door that kept telling me not to speak and to follow etiquette.
It doesn't matter, anyway, the most is a fine. This year is the seventh year of Tiansheng, and my salary has been fined to the twelfth year of Tiansheng. In other words, these five years are considered to be working for the emperor in vain!
If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry. Since you won’t see your salary in five years, let’s just let it go!
Can these censors kill themselves or what?
If you have the guts, I will deduct my salary until the 60th year of Tiansheng!
"Ahem, that's it!" Yun Yu, who had finally returned to Chang'an after her vacation, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped Jia Hui, who was getting more and more excited.
"And you, get the better of me too!" Yun Yu glared. Xu Le, who was being pulled by Jia Hui, immediately felt his legs weaken and his calves trembled. He quickly apologized to Yun Yu and then seemed to run away. I ran to the back where I should go.
When the Literary class team saw this, they just covered their mouths and smiled softly, but the Wu class team had no such worries. Of course, a few people looked up to the sky and laughed and kept teasing Xu Le.
Of course, as we all know, Xu Le is from Jia Hui, so even in the martial arts class, few people dare to laugh out loud. Those who dare to laugh out loud are all with Jia Hui, and there are even several people who are with Jia Hui. Xu Le served as a soldier under Jia Hui.
The picket censor almost fainted after hearing the loud laughter!
He simply didn't take him as a picket censor seriously!
Although the place has been changed, the procedures for going to court are still the same.
The whip was sounded three times, and accompanied by the solemn music of "Chaohui Music", the two civil and military teams wearing court uniforms of all levels held wat boards and stepped in all directions, solemnly walking in the middle of the front hall of Weiyang Palace - Xuanshi Hall. On the white marble steps until entering the hall, the civil and military personnel consciously lined up on both sides of the hall.
Among the civil servants, Li Yan, the first assistant, is still at the head of the class.
Jia Hui, carrying Taizu's sword at his waist, was sitting at the head of the martial arts class. Only Yun Yu could stand alongside him. In front of them were the kings accompanying him on the hunt to the west.
There's just one person missing.
A burst of ritual music came from far and near, and Zhu Wenwu arranged his clothes for the last time.
The first person to enter the Xuanshi Hall was still Xia Shouzhong, but he was several shades darker than in the previous months.
There was no way, the Second Saint took the Supreme Queen, the Queen Empress and other direct royal family members to go crazy in Guanzhong!
Even the Great Court Meeting has not been held since entering Tongtong Pass.
If two warring countries had not come to Daqi this time and asked the Han emperor to come and administer justice, which was in line with the emperor's goal of "reviving Daqi's international reputation", otherwise the emperor would not have brought it back to Chang'an!
You know, the emperor's Luanjia went as far as Wenxi to visit the Pei family ancestral hall!
Xia Shouzhong, who was fairer and a little chubby than before, is now darker, thinner and visibly more haggard, waved his fly whisk and shouted loudly, his skills even getting stronger.
The orchestra began to play, and "Danbi's Great Music" sounded. Under the leadership of Li Yan and Jia Hui, the civil and military ministers and accompanying envoys respectfully faced the emperor who was walking slowly with square steps.
Xia Shouzhong took a step forward: "Congratulations!"
Civil and military officials sang loudly in praise.
"Heaven assists virtue!"
“Congratulations!”
"Haiyu Xianning!"
"Three thumbs up!"
"Hail, holy bow!"
Zhu Wenwu shouted long live.
"I am in peace, all your ministers are safe." The emperor replied without joy or sorrow to the envoys from various countries who were accompanied by the civil and military teams in front of him.
Jia Hui always felt that he heard a somewhat suppressed smile in the emperor's solemn voice?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wen Wu stood up and sat upright.
After many days, Jia Hui finally met the emperor, whom he had not seen for almost half a month.
Well, like Xia Shouzhong, the emperor also tanned a lot.
But think about it, it is impossible for the emperor to carry Lu Bo with him for everything. There will always be a time when he faces the sun. In addition, it is summer and the sun is the most powerful time of the year. Even the emperor will be tanned. It's also normal.
"If you have something to do, leave the court if nothing happens!" After Xia Shouzhong finished shouting the last procedure, today's court meeting officially began.
It was customary for the first assistant Li Kai to make a summary of the entire month last month, such as "a total of 800 miles of newly built and repaired canals." A good harvest year!", "There was another flood somewhere. Fortunately, under the wise leadership of the emperor, the disaster relief was very fast. Within a few days, the affected people were moved away and the embankments were repaired."
It just costs a little more.
But the emperor didn't care much about this. Da Qi was very rich now, and a little money was not worth mentioning.
After the summary was over, Li Kai handed the memorial to a young eunuch and then retreated and sat down again. Next, the ministers of each ministry came to report on the work of each ministry last month.
The civil servants in the literature class naturally listened with great interest. After all, they had their share in these achievements. From time to time, some great immortals would even start to shake their heads after hearing the colorful memorials written by several ministers intentionally or unintentionally. stand up
On the other hand, the atmosphere here in Wuban is a bit gloomy.
It's not that he lost the battle, but that he really wasn't interested in what the civil servants said. Occasionally, he didn't dare to show it to the weirdos who listened with gusto. He was afraid that his brothers would stop playing with him, so he imitated them. He looked half-closed, looking a little drowsy out of boredom.
Boom!
A slightly dull crashing sound spread throughout the Xuanshi Palace, and the words that Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was about to speak were instantly choked in his throat as he was reporting to the emperor with an excited expression.
All the civil and military officials in the entire hall looked towards the location where the sound came from.
"How unreasonable, how unreasonable! Your Majesty, I impeach Lanling Marquis Gao Kecheng for the crime of misconduct in front of the palace!" The censor jumped out and remonstrated with the emperor indignantly.
Damn it, damn it!
It's okay for the Taiwei to ignore this constitution. After all, he has this qualification. Even if he doesn't abide by etiquette, he will be fined at most.
But how dare you, a dandy like you, who is lying on the merits of your ancestors and waiting to die, to misbehave in front of the palace!
The picket censor was very angry because of the non-observance of etiquette by Jia Taiwei and Wu Ban. He was very angry and refused to let anyone catch Gao Kecheng!
"Holy, holy, holy, holy, my lord." Gao Kecheng's voice was trembling as he rolled and crawled from the martial arts class to the center of the hall.
He was frightened by the censor's loud shout and was a little overwhelmed. His mind went blank. He completely forgot that he was a marquis and could ignore the censor's affairs.
His father's period of filial piety just passed last year, and he officially inherited his father's demotion of Lanling County Duke last month. This matter of Lanling County Marquis
He was originally a dandy waiting to die, but he practiced martial arts for three years out of boredom during the three years of mourning. He barely passed the emperor's assessment of the nobles and avoided being thrown into the military camp to endure hardships. fate
But who would have imagined that I had a few extra glasses of wine yesterday and was so sleepy that I almost fell asleep
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Lanling has only been a nobleman for a month, and he doesn't understand many of the rules of the court." A nobleman who was close to the Gao family was stunned when he saw Gao Kecheng. Being Gao Kecheng's mouthpiece, I wanted to excuse him by using the reason that those who don't know would not blame him.
Jia Hui listened to the quarrel behind him and nodded secretly.
Very good, let’s use the excuse that those who don’t know are not to blame to reduce the punishment.
As for exemption from punishment, it would be difficult. Didn't you see that the emperor frowned?
While I was listening to the reports from the people below, imagining that the country I governed was prospering, suddenly there was a dog thief who fell asleep while listening, and hit his head on a pillar to make a sound, interrupting the report.
How did you say that jingle?
The leader picks up food and turns around the table. The leader toasts you but you don’t drink.
The leader listens to the cards and you draw them yourself, and the leader sings K and you cut the songs.
When the leader drinks, you put the brakes on; when the leader raises a glass, you drink first.
When the leader opens the door, you get in the car; when the leader walks, you take a taxi
The emperor has been embarrassed in front of so many people, especially so many envoys. If I don't punish you, do you really think that the emperor is a good man?
This man is a master who has fought with many gangs!
"Did Marquis Lanling ever go to school?" The censor interrupted the nobleman's speech.
"Of course I've done this before."
"Uncle, do you know that if you fall asleep in school, you will get slapped on the palm of your hand! What's more, if you go to court, if Marquis Lanling really goes to school, how can you not know that this ignorant boy knows that he can't do it in school? Sleeping rules!" The censor interrupted again.
As soon as the words of the picket censor came out, not only the military generals who had always despised the civilian censors, but also some of the civil servants in the literary class frowned and looked at the picket censor with red faces.
Gee, this censor is obviously on top!
Jia Hui sighed helplessly.
Normally speaking, in such a big occasion, especially one where outsiders are present, it is only right to expose such a trivial matter as soon as possible, or Gao Keli will immediately plead guilty, and the emperor will let the small punishment and the big admonishment pass.
Or when the earl jumped out to excuse him, the censor used the donkey to fool him.
But this censor is obviously unwilling to give up!
"Haha, Liu Bingxian, this matter is indeed the fault of Marquis Lanling, but after all, Marquis Lanling has not been very familiar with the rules since he succeeded to the throne." At this time, an old civil servant in the literary class was pushed out by several colleagues. He is senior enough, so I thought that coming to picket the censor would give him some face.
"Then why come to court? Since you are not familiar with the rules, how about practicing at home before going to court?" Liu Yushi did not accept this trick at all. He was already fantasizing about defeating a marquis and becoming a rookie in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. great prospects.
Oh, those who stand in the way of my official career will kill people, and those who stand in the way of Buddha will kill Buddha!
"You!" You are so ignorant!
The old civil servant did not expect that Liu Yushi did not give him any face. He could only curse inwardly and returned to his seat with some weak pity.
This man is useless!
"Your Majesty, Lanling Marquis Gao Kecheng has violated the etiquette in front of the palace, disrespects the etiquette and laws, and despises the court! If we don't severely punish him, how can we correct the atmosphere of the court? Please take away Gao Kecheng's title!"
Before the next person who ran out to relieve the siege could speak, Liu Yushi pushed the fallen jade pillar from the Jinshan Mountain and knelt on the ground, looking directly at Lord Dan behind the emperor as if he was about to die to remonstrate.
There is no way. To be honest, looking directly at the king is the same as stabbing the king in the face. There can be no mistakes at this time.
Seeing Liu Yushi kneeling on the ground with a look like "Sir, if you don't agree, I will be killed on the imperial steps", the whole court fell silent.
Jia Hui looked at the front of the literary class with a surprised expression. Lin Ruhai looked dull. Seeing that Lin Ruhai repeatedly felt the gaze and looked towards him, Jia Hui made an expression towards him.
"How could there be such a fierce general in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Whose general is this?"
As if he understood Jia Hui's face, Lin Ruhai sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.
I do not know!
Suddenly, another look came from the imperial steps, and Jia Hui quickly looked over and understood the look.
He saw that the emperor was also winking at him, but it was blocked by the twelve strings of beads on the Pingtian Crown, which meant that Jia Hui was close, otherwise he would not be able to see clearly.
Quick, Jinyu, get rid of him!
"Alas" Your Majesty, there is no need for that!
Jia Hui sighed and spoke helplessly, characterizing the matter.
"Gao Kecheng, the Marquis of Lanling, has not been fully familiar with the rules of court meetings for a long time. It is not strange for those who don't know. Once he is punished, he must be judged by a saint!"
