Xiao Han's time to go to court was already urgent, but he was delayed for a while by Cui Renxuan who suddenly came out.
When Xiao Han just left the house, he saw that there were people walking towards the palace just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left on the road, so Xiao Han became more and more guilty as he walked. In the end, he could almost be said to be running wildly. , Zhang Qiang and the others behind them were somewhat unable to catch up with Xiao Han.
There is no reason why Xiao Han shouldn't be nervous. After all, being late here doesn't mean you can be fined ten yuan...
Perhaps modern people envy the ancient officials who had three wives and four concubines, shouting and drinking, but the judges probably only saw thieves eating meat, not being beaten!
This time is no different than later, when you work from nine to five, and you can take a day off if you have something to do.
The current emperors are all working diligently. As soon as the sky breaks, that is, after six o'clock, they will start going to court. This is still winter. If it is summer, it will be even earlier!
Fortunately, maybe there were too many people in attendance today. When Xiao Han rushed to the palace gate in a hurry, he happened to be stuck on the last wave!
After checking his waistband, Xiao Han took a deep breath and hurriedly walked forward among a pile of blue official uniforms. In the distance, Zhang Qiang and the others were out of breath running. They were even worse than Xiao Han. After all, All Xiao Han had to do was run around empty-handed, while they had to carry a box of gold!
Zhang Qiang saw Xiao Han follow him into the palace from a distance, and felt that all his strength was suddenly drained. He didn't care whether the ground was dirty or cool, and sat down on the ground. He wanted to know who it was now. You say you can move gold without sinking it? Let him try it! Can't kill him!
Daxing Hall is as chaotic as ever! There were crowds of people everywhere, coughs, greetings, and even scoldings.
Xiao Han followed the person, dodged a familiar petty official, and walked around to the side, found the familiar pillar and sat down. He had two cushions to himself, which were soft and warm. , which made Xiao Han, who had been freezing all morning, hooked up!
After moving his buttocks and finding a more comfortable position to lean against this big pillar that no one could hold, Xiao Han began to doze off in a daze.
Xiao Han found a good location. This pillar belonged to a small blind corner, just at the far side of the palace. Except for Xiao Han, the "elder of the three dynasties" would come over. As for the others, they were eager to listen to the holy words and sharpen them one by one. He raised his head and leaned in front of Li Yuan. With his horns like this, they wouldn't even take a glance at him.
When Xiao Han went to court before, it was basically like today. He slept here with the old man and slept until the meeting was over. But today for some reason, the old man didn't come over. But that's fine. Xiao Han was even more lonely by himself. The music is so pure, you don’t have to listen to people snoring, and people will fall asleep almost within a few minutes of sitting down, which is more effective than attending classes at school!
China's imperial palace almost represents the highest achievement of Chinese architecture, whether it is appearance or interior!
However, the ancients were clumsy and restrained, so looking from the outside, this palace is just taller and more splendid. There is nothing strange about it, and it is not even as good-looking as some castles in the West.
But that’s not the case. In the palace, everything you think of and can’t imagine is there!
For example, the steps of this Daxing Hall are extremely high. Including the palace, they are dozens of meters above the ground! It makes Xiao Han crawl* every time, and the cold north wind blows from the back mountain and rushes directly into the main hall. Just thinking about it, you know that it must be very cold!
But it happens to be very warm!
Of course, the unusual warmth was not due to so many people in the hall keeping it warm, but because it had floor heating!
Yes, you read that right, it really has floor heating! Technology thousands of years later is being used today, which really makes people admire the wisdom of the ancients!
Daxing City, also known as Chang'an City and Luoyang City, which are almost the two largest cities in the world today, were both designed and built by Yu Wenkai, and the Daxing Palace was also designed by this legendary architect.
Under this magnificent and huge palace, there are countless vacancies and flues. Before going to court in winter, the eunuchs would light a fire to warm themselves up. People in it would not feel cold at all!
In summer, ice spring water from the mountains is led underground to cool down the palace, so the temperature inside Daxing Hall is always suitable.
Xiao Han didn't sleep well last night. He dreamed of the beautiful Xue Pan in the first half of the night. Just after having the sweet dream for a while, Xue Shou came out, pinched his neck and asked why he wanted to pick up his sister. As a result, Xiao Han was frightened. I broke out in a cold sweat and woke up immediately.
When I finally fell asleep again, I dreamed of two bastards, the Marquis of Xiangcheng and Cui Renxuan, and the three of them immediately got into a drunken fight! Anyway, I didn’t sleep well that night! When I got up in the morning, my calves were still shaking, so I took this opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
Since the number of people today was no less than that of the Great Court, the hall did not become quiet until Li Yuan went to court. It was not until the eunuch in charge stood on the high platform and cracked the quiet whip that the buzzing noise below quieted down.
Xiao Han only heard the sound of the whip in a daze and didn't care. Anyway, after exchanging the two people for a box of gold, he was fine today. He stretched out his hand to scratch the itch and chose a more comfortable position. His eyes He didn't even open his eyes, but still slept against the pillar. The warmth under his buttocks really made people fall asleep...
It's a pity that such a comfortable state was broken before it could last more than a stick of incense. The elders of the three dynasties who had just squeezed in did not know where they were, grabbed a cushion, moved to Xiao Han's side step by step, and shook it violently. Suddenly Xiao Han, who had just dreamed of dating a beautiful woman, woke up.
"Who is it? Don't bother me..." Xiao Han was awakened by a violent shake and had to force his eyes open. When he realized it was the old man, his eyelids immediately closed again.
"Hey! Wake up!" The old man was so angry when he saw Xiao Han like this. He was not polite anymore. He twisted Xiao Han's thigh with his hands and turned it hard. He saw that Xiao Han had completely closed his eyes and his whole body was shaking. Shocked, his eyes suddenly widened, his face turned purple, his hands and feet were trembling, and he opened his mouth wide. Just when he was about to shout, he felt something was wrong, and immediately covered his mouth hard, holding back the squeaking with great difficulty!
"Hiss... Old man, what are you doing, trying to twist me to death?!" After finally waiting for the burning feeling to subside, Xiao Han immediately looked at the old man with wide eyes. Could it be that the old man took the wrong medicine today? , I still worship crab as my teacher, why do I pinch and twist when I get up?
"Idiot, you still want to sleep!" Unexpectedly, the old man was even angrier than Xiao Han. His fingers were almost on Xiao Han's forehead, and he said with a bit of hatred: "Do you know, today there is How many people are preparing to impeach you, yet you still dare to sleep! You can still sleep! You... what can I say about you?"
"Impeach me?" Xiao Han pushed away the old man's pointed finger and asked rather strangely: "Why are you impeaching me? Going to court to sleep?"
"Idiot!" The old man couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Xiao Han hard on the head. He almost slapped Xiao Han in his crotch and almost slapped Xiao Han's hair! What's going on these two days? It's a bad year? Why does everyone want to hit themselves!
The old man ignored him and was not afraid that Xiao Han would fall out. He pointed his big hand outwards and sprayed saliva on Xiao Han's head: "Why are you so stupid! Don't you know what you have done? Or do you think others are fools? I just heard from there that someone wants to impeach you for being jealous of the Marquis of Xiangcheng and fighting over a woman. I want to see how you explain it later!"
"That's it? Do you always beat me?" Xiao Han's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't even say the curse words he had prepared!
I can't stand this kind of person who treats me well. Even if he does something that makes me unhappy, I'm too embarrassed to blame him! You have to say kindly: "Uncle, it's not enough for me to call you uncle! Don't worry about this matter. I've been tricked by others too. Besides, when they sue, they also sue the Marquis of Xiangcheng! Everyone knows that, I am a little viscount, but I am still forced to accept the challenge, how can you blame me!"
"Boom..."
Xiao Han had just finished speaking, and the old man looked like he wanted to say something else. Suddenly, there was a drum sound outside, and the hall that had been noisy just now immediately became silent. The old man did not dare to make a sound at this time, so he had to close his mouth first and stretch his head. He lifted his neck and looked towards the entrance of the palace!
Xiao Han had never heard of drumming in the middle of the morning. This is not a zoo! So we quickly looked towards the door together!
The dull drum beat rang for a moment. When the drum sound died down, Xiao Han saw a large group of people pouring in at the spacious palace entrance, and they were either purple robes or scarlet robes. They were obviously very high-ranking people. !
"What time is it now? Why is such a big official late? Why are there a group of people when he is late?" Xiao Han frowned and asked strangely.
"You are really an out-and-out idiot!" The old man almost hit the pillar in front of him in anger at Xiao Han's words!
He grabbed Xiao Han, pointed at the people who came into the palace later, and said: "See clearly, why are you late! That's the prime minister! You don't know Pei Ji or Liu Wenjing? They are going out of the city to meet King Qin." !”
"Welcome King Qin? Didn't they come back yesterday?"
"You can't go back after you come back? Then why do you have to eat after you have eaten?" The elder of the three dynasties had completely given up on Xiao Han. He scolded him, shook his head and explained: "Do you know, this is to welcome the great victory? According to the highest etiquette, when the army returns from a complete victory, the prime minister and the princes of the country must personally go out of the city to greet them! This is the rule!"
"Is there such a rule?" Xiao Han opened his eyes wide in surprise, looking at the adults returning to each train, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Then I am also a prince, why didn't you ask me to greet you?"
"You?" The old man, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, glanced sideways at Xiao Han, as if looking at a hotel clerk, and said with great disdain: "You just said that you, a little viscount, do you think you can be locked up? What's up!"
