The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Also, in which era did the leaders not come last?Liu Tao nodded upon hearing this...

Chapter 160 Participating in the court meeting for the first time

Liu Tao doesn't plan to complain about the social etiquette of later generations. After all, society has evolved over 5000 years and has gone through too many changes.Just now, he once thought that the court was to wait in a fixed room until the official court ceremony before entering the hall.

It seems to be called Dianmaofang or something, after all, he doesn't know much about relevant historical documents.Generally speaking, modern people don't know how to find out how the Han Dynasty went to court and what the court etiquette was like.

If you are interested in the Three Kingdoms, it is already the limit to do a little research on historical figures, and casually look through the relevant figures.

If I had to say it, Liu Tao knew almost everything about the Three Kingdoms through an encyclopedia.As for "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", "Three Kingdoms" and "Zizhi Tongjian"...of course I don't read them, but I read excerpts from an encyclopedia at most.

To put it bluntly, he hasn't really read the text of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but just watched the TV series.Then learn about the Three Kingdoms through games, animations and movies.

By the way, why am I emphasizing this?Liu Tao was a little puzzled, his brain recovered, and his thinking also diverged... Of course, this is definitely not the case, and he forced himself to excuse himself for not knowing etiquette!

Anyway, he was like this, following Zuo Feng.Fortunately, after Zuo Feng collected the money, he would be willing to tell Liu Tao how to go along the way, what he could do, or what he shouldn't do, which saved a lot of trouble.

For the matter of turning off his head, Liu Tao felt that the money was really a good deal.After all, Lu Zhi, as a master, never taught him what to do, and he probably thought that he was not qualified to go to the palace to receive the award... Well, this is the teacher, right?

At the entrance of the main hall, there are visitors. They belong to Guang Luxun, and they are officially called those who are called to do things. They receive a salary of four hundred stones.Zuo Feng is just Xiao Huangmen, Xiao Huangmen is not Huangmenlang, so he can only bring Liu Tao here.

"This general, but he doesn't know any position?" The interviewer saw Liu Tao with a very strange expression on his face, so he stepped forward to ask.

"Zheng Guishi, in accordance with His Majesty's will, Liu Tao, Sima of the Ministry of Proclamation, enters the palace to be rewarded." Zuo Feng stepped forward and showed his waist badge.Of course it was not his identity badge, but a waist badge used to announce the decree, which to a certain extent represented the emperor.

It was also the first time Liu Tao saw this thing, but he didn't find it strange. If there is no token, how can he prove the authenticity of the oral order?

He Jin was tricked into it by He Hou's verbal orders, he couldn't really believe what the eunuch said, right?That's true, how did such a fool become a general? !

"So that's it, Liu Sima, please follow me into the hall." The visitor looked at the token, nodded knowingly, and signaled Liu Tao to follow him in.

From the moment they entered the main hall, they came to the end of Xilie in small steps, signaling Liu Tao to take a seat.

Inside the main hall, on both sides of the main road, there are a large number of cushions, on which civil and military officials sit and wait for His Majesty to arrive.Meritorious officials, generals, and other officers sit in the west row, facing east; civilian officials line up in the east from the prime minister down, facing west.

Although it is sitting on the ground, at least there is no need to stand, no wonder there is no need to wait in the dormitory.Speaking of it, Liu Tao did remember that it should be after the Song Dynasty that the monarchs and ministers discussed politics standing up.

Why do you have to complain so much? What Liu Tao wants to complain the most is that he has made a lot of contributions, so why should he be the last seat closest to the door?This position is somewhat contemptuous...

"Bie Sima is actually qualified to enter the palace..." As soon as he sat down, a mocking voice came from not far away.

Liu Tao didn't know who was talking, but it was obviously not someone he could provoke, so he obediently kept his mouth shut.A husky-like Teddy, mixed in with a pack of wolves and foxes, is really stressful.

But the key words are mastered, and the other party obviously looks down on other Sima.Why do you look down on it? Liu Tao analyzed it. It should be that this position belongs to a very established relationship.

Being very established means that there is no salary, and it may be dissolved at any time.It is said that the crusade against the Yellow Turbans is over, and his other Sima may face disbandment... Meow, now I understand, no wonder Liu Yan and Zou Jing gave it so happily!

"Deran, why are you here?" Not long after, Lu Zhi happened to enter the hall, followed by another official who should be a general, and he could vaguely feel the military aura on his body.

"Reporting to my benefactor, Your Majesty ordered me to enter the palace and be enshrined." Liu Tao got up quickly, and then replied truthfully.

"Oh, so that's the case, I said why you moved into the palace a few days ago..." Lu Zhi was stunned, and casually introduced to the people around him, "This is my favorite student, Liu Tao of Zhuojun, whose name is Deran. When I was young, I studied the scriptures under my school, but I never expected to rely on Wu Xun to be famous and well-known to Your Majesty."

"Oh, he is Liu Deran who regained Zhongshan County, defeated Zhang Bao in Quyang, and was the first to ascend the city under Guangzong's command?" The man immediately looked at Liu Tao curiously after hearing this.The first feeling is that you are young, and the second feeling is that you have a strong sense of literati.

"This is Huang Fusong, General Zuo Zhonglang, why don't you come forward to pay respects?" Lu Zhi introduced the people around him by the way, and of course ordered with a bit of blame.

"Junior Liu Tao, pay your respects to your lord!" Liu Tao hastily saluted, not as a military post, only a fool would use a military post.As Lu Zhi's disciple, he saluted Huangfusong.

The word "adult" is used to refer to parents and elders in this era, and it is extended to the title of officials in later generations... It should come from the concept of "parents and officials".

"Deran is young, but he has made outstanding achievements many times. It is not surprising that he was awarded the title in the palace." Huangfusong nodded, and his voice was louder, so that the surrounding officials could hear, "My dog, how old is he?" It is similar to Deran, but far inferior."

"Since it is His Majesty's will, then you should sit here carefully and don't look around... Besides, there is no need to sit upright at the beginning, and it will not be too late when the visitor informs His Majesty of your arrival." Lu Zhi finally stepped forward. , exhorted in a low voice.

He didn't expect that Liu Tao could actually enter the palace and be conferred, otherwise, he would have told him about the etiquette and doorway.Now I can only briefly mention a few words, and the rest depends on his own wit...

"Thank you, teacher..." Liu Tao thanked him back, Lu Zhi nodded, followed Zhu Jun and Huangfusong to his place.

Liu Tao just sat down, of course sitting cross-legged.In fact, he was already planning to complain just now. According to the etiquette, formal occasions are sitting upright, which is the so-called kneeling. It is probably because this can clamp the legs so as not to cause embarrassment under special circumstances...

It's just that the knee and calf are very stressed, and the cushion is not comfortable. It has already made him numb just a few minutes ago.

This kind of sitting posture can only be lifted when the court is over... I suddenly feel that the court meeting in this era is really insane.Or is it that His Majesty the Emperor deliberately arranged this to force the ministers to end the court meeting quickly?

Suddenly, all the ironic whispers around seemed to fade away.Even if they are still talking about the topic, they deliberately bypass him.

Liu Tao quickly realized that just now Lu Zhi emphasized that he was his disciple, and at the same time Huangfusong purposely spoke louder, not just talking to him, but more telling the people around him, "I've covered this person"...

Chapter 161 On the Rewards for Deeds

What Lu Zhi and Huangfusong said just now actually meant standing up for him.Leaving aside Lu Zhi, Huangfusong was more likely to be introduced to him by Lu Zhi and to make a personal relationship, so he came forward to take care of himself.

The two heroes of the crusade against the Yellow Turban are both speaking to Liu Tao, so unless there are officials with more than [-] shi, ordinary officials can't embarrass him anymore.And officials with more than two thousand shi will not care, a division is divided into Sima.

Liu Tao doesn't care what other people are like, he just keeps his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and waits with peace of mind.

About three quarters of an hour passed, and the time was more than halfway to Mao o'clock, that is, there were still about 5 minutes left at six o'clock in the morning.One after another, some officials changed from sitting cross-legged to sitting upright.

Noticing this, Liu Tao also changed to sitting upright. Under the cover of the robe, sitting upright from the front should look very dignified.After all, when you are sitting, you will subconsciously straighten your waist and lift your chest slightly.

"Quiet, Your Majesty..." the visitor shouted, but in fact the whole hall was silent, it should be a routine.

Not long after, Liu Hong, followed by Lang Wei, entered the main hall.

A group of officials performed the first salute one after another. Anyway, during the whole process, no one dared to raise their heads. Liu Tao didn't know when he would be able to raise his head, so he could only maintain this posture.He waited until the other officials around him seemed to raise their heads, and then he followed suit.

Calculating the time, it should take about three seconds for the emperor to pass by before he began to raise his head.I could vaguely see the official on the opposite side with his head down, maintaining a sitting posture, and he simply lowered his head not to look around.

"Today's court..." About 1 minute later, Liu Hong's voice came, and he should have been sitting on the dragon chair at this moment, "The main thing is to reward the heroes of the crusade against the Yellow Turbans... Taiwei, report the results of this battle and military exploits."

The tone of voice was still the same, with a slight lack of breath, and at the same time, there was a hint of sleepiness and impatience.

The three armies, the specific combat achievements and gains, have been reported in three days.The Taiwei's Mansion sorted out and summarized, and after getting the decree, he immediately got up and read it out.

"Zuo Zhonglang general Huangfu Song's department... Yu Changshe met with You Zhonglang general's department, and defeated Bocai Huangjin... Beheaded... Those who have merit..." The Taiwei first reported the results of Zhu Jun's battle, and List of heroes.

Starting from the first merit, after all, there is only one first merit; after that, there are major achievements and minor achievements.There is no need to report here for the decapitation of one level and two levels, it is too time-consuming.

Speaking of which, is it okay to confer rewards before Zhu Jun comes back?Or, since the war zones are different, there is no problem in splitting the rewards?Liu Tao was a little puzzled, but now is not the time to talk, so he can only continue to listen.

As expected, Huangfu Song's radical achievements naturally belonged to Cao Cao, the cavalry captain who came to support him, and other school captains also received awards.

"The result of the military exploits check is in line with the battle report." Taiwei finished this sentence, indicating that the military exploits of Huangfu Song's tribe had been reported.

Immediately, with regard to the drafting of the rewards, he continued to announce, "Huangfu Song is to be named General of Wei, Marquis of Duting... Cavalier Cao Cao is Prime Minister of Jinan..."

Remember that Huangfusong was not the general who rode on the left chariot, led the Jizhou herdsman, and was named Huailihou?Cao Cao hasn't changed, but Huangfu Song?Liu Tao was a little surprised when he heard this.
