Great Song

It was still pitch black outside the car window, and the fifth watch hadn't arrived yet, let alone people on the street, not even a ghost.Zhen Qiong took a look on her stomach and felt sleepy. He had never woken up so early before.

Resisting the urge to yawn, Zhen Qiong turned her head and said to Han Miao: "Brother Miao, don't be afraid, the palace is fine, it's just a bit bigger, and it's a bit tiring to walk. I heard that our Dachao is far away. , when the time comes, follow the flow and go through a process, and you can eat."

Han Miao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.You also know that this is a grand court meeting, not a banquet hosted by a rich man in the country?Just remember to eat, how decent!But miraculously, the little tension in his chest was completely dissipated by this commotion.So he laughed: "With Qiong'er here, how can you be nervous as a husband?"

Hey, he loves to hear that!However, after looking Han Miao up and down, Zhen Qiong still sighed: "Brother Miao is really too plain, it would be great if he could wear bright clothes."

Today's Zhen Qiong is wearing a robe.This one was bestowed by the Son of Heaven, with a crane cloak and star pattern, wide and long, trailing the ground.Bird feathers of various colors are attached to the fur robe, making him look like a fairy bird that has fallen into the mortal world, gorgeous and reserved, with a high-spirited bearing.On the other hand, Han Miao is only wearing a blue shirt. Although his figure is tall and straight, his demeanor is elegant, but he is also simple.In this grand court meeting, civil and military officials all have to wear court clothes, such a suit is simply shabby.

Han Miao smiled when he heard the words: "Without an official status, how can I go beyond the rules? It's not surprising that there are many scholars in the Great Dynasty who are dressed like this. Besides, my clothes are also more energy-saving."

When Zhen Qiong heard this, she really nodded her head: "That's right, I don't know how long I'll be standing today. It's better to save effort."

His body is more than ten catties heavier than before.Thinking of having to stand for a long time before being seated, I couldn't help feeling a little envious of Han Miao.

With reassurance, Zhen Qiong stopped being entangled, and chatted with Han Miao without saying a word, and was reminded of many precautions by him.The main residence of the Han family is in the southwest near the outer city, so it's really not that close to the imperial palace.But after entering the inner city, there were more people on the street, all of them were officials and officials riding horses with lanterns.Because it is Yuanzheng, there are no hawkers hawking breakfast along the street, and it is much quieter than before.

Although he is just a Taoist priest, the lantern of "Baoying Guanzhu" in front of the car can make many people give way.It didn't take much effort, and the carriage arrived in front of the palace gate.

The two got off the car, and immediately a servant greeted them: "Mr. Tongxuan, this way please."

The Great Dynasty is not like the Chang Dynasty, it needs to line up, and the number of worshipers is also more, so it is natural to divide the queue in advance.Zhen Qiong didn't take it seriously, took Han Miao, and followed the little yellow gate to the front of the team on the other side.Here are all monks and Taoists who are going to participate in the Great Court Assembly. When they see Zhen Qiong wearing a crane cloak and a golden crown on his head, they can't help but turn their heads to look.Don't talk about demeanor, just relying on appearance, this small way can overwhelm a group of people, not to mention that they still have the title of "Mr."Putting it in front of a group of temple masters and abbots, one must be at the head of the line.

This position is not suitable for Han Miao.Zhen Qiong couldn't help but glanced back, only to see Han Miao stopped where he was and smiled at him, with approval and anticipation in his eyes.That unhappiness disappeared immediately.Zhen Qiong waved up her sleeves, walked slowly past a group of senior monks, and stood firmly at the front of the queue.

Being so young, yet having such a high status, really makes people hate him.But in the team, there wasn't even a single one who showed disdain or looked arrogant.The master of the Grand View Temple like Shangqing Temple can also be expelled from the capital for offending this trail.He was just a virgin then.Now that Mr. Hao is given, and the household is awarded, who dares to act rashly?

Not to mention, without incense, Baoying Temple has become a temple that people in the capital must worship in their hearts, and there are countless shrines erected in their homes to worship the "Thunder Lord".This is a "good man with the right way" that everyone respects from the emperor to the Li Shu.Those who can manage Taoist temples and temples, who is not a figure with all faces, how can they make enemies at this time?

So, all the monks and veterans nodded to Zhen Qiong with warm smiles.Zhen Qiong didn't pay much attention to the person, just nodded.Brother Miao has explained to him that he must be graceful and not lose his dignity in front of the court.Usually it's fine, but today I brought my family with me, so I have to put on a show so that I can make people look good.

Standing in front of the team, she waited for half an hour, until Zhen Qiong's legs were sore from standing, before the palace gate officially opened, and all civil and military officials entered in line.

Today's imperial city is very different from the past.There are so many guards of honor that it is frightening, two steps away, there is a tall guard of honor standing on the side of the road holding a big battle of Huang Hui.There were many streamers and cloaks, the dragon flags fluttered, and the sky had not yet fully lit up. The flames in the huge brazier were burning, adding to the solemnity and majesty.

Zhen Qiong followed closely behind the servant, walked to the outside of the Daqing Hall, and stood in her place.At this moment, the huge square was already half full, and there were palace guards holding big battles of yellow flags everywhere, and countless officials, crowded together in one place.However, with so many people, no noise could be heard.The sound of footsteps, bonfires, hunting of flags, and the shouts of servants became the only sounds left in front of the hall.People can't help but raise their minds and create tension.Fortunately, Zhen Qiong had also seen the world, so she resisted the urge to turn her head to look for Han Miao, and just kept her face down, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

When the sun finally rose, the elegant music was played, and the emperor wearing the crown came to the main hall and ascended to the throne.Civil and military officials, clan envoys, and monks and Taoists like them all worshiped and danced to the emperor, shouting long live.Afterwards, Zhongshu and the officials of the six ministries presented the Shangji and various auspicious signs of Zhufang Town, as well as the tributes from various states and feudal clans.

A sound was transmitted, resounding inside and outside the hall, and mountains of tributes were piled up in the south of the hall.After the ceremony, the emperor descended and entered the East Pavilion on a chariot, and all the officials came to stand by the table.

Zhen Qiong also has a place in the hall, although it is a bit biased, but among all the monks, it can be regarded as the only one.At this moment, following the little yellow gate, he quickly came to the hall and stood by the table.When she was in place, Zhen Qiong became a little impatient, wondering when Han Miao would come?After waiting for a while, the Lanshan shirt finally appeared in front of my eyes.This place is no different from the outer court, the hall is full of red robes and scarlet robes, beam crowns and brocade ribbons, and the scholar's uniforms with green borders and white clothes are a bit eye-catching.However, this level of clothing did not make Han Miao look cowardly, just like in the past, he walked over with a smile.

Zhen Qiong's heartbeat quickened suddenly. Fortunately, the big clothes hanging on the ground were enough to stagger him, which reminded him of the demeanor he was going to put on today. When someone came to his side, he stood behind him on the right. Set your pace.Because the emperor rewarded two people to sit at the same table, he naturally had a table, but it was a little later.With so many people watching, it was difficult for Zhen Qiong to turn her head and talk. After thinking for a while, she lowered her hand and groped back furtively.However, a hand stopped him halfway, the slender and strong fingers squeezed his hand like a warning, and then held it quietly.

The wide sleeves of the robe obscured everyone's sight, and even the ceremonial officials who monitored the demeanor of all the officials did not notice this insignificant movement.But after only holding for a moment, the hand slipped from the palm.Zhen Qiong's mind was empty, and she almost didn't turn her head to look around.

Fortunately, at this moment, the music sounded again, and the emperor, wearing the crown of heaven and the crimson gauze robe, entered the palace again and sat on the throne.All officials worship Wushanhu, just like before.After the salute, the Taiwei will hold the title and kneel down to Shangshou.The shout of "Long Live the Thousand Years" was like thunder, resounding through the hall and shaking the sky.Even Zhen Qiong couldn't help holding her breath and lowered her head.This is the majesty of the emperor, and there is no room for people not to bow their heads and ears.

The emperor raised the wine bar, and all the officials worshiped Wu Shanhu.After drinking, all the officials will be given wine, and the officials will worship and accept it.Zhen Qiong raised her glass and drank it without hesitation.I didn't taste the taste of the imperial wine, but I felt cold.But at the moment, who cares about this?

After drinking the wine, the emperor rewarded the imperial meal, and all the officials were seated.I have been going out since before dawn, and it is now already high in the sun after tossing around.Zhen Qiong couldn't wait to sit down with her chest stuck to her back, which was already hungry, and waited for the food to be served.It stands to reason that the meals in the palace should not be bad, but the Yuanzheng Grand Ceremony is more solemn and solemn than the other banquets, so the main course is pork.That is, the white meat used for sacrifices, without oil or salt, boiled hard.Zhen Qiong was dumbfounded when the waiter brought up the divided pieces of meat.After tossing for so long, just eat this?

However, someone poked her from behind, what else could Zhen Qiong do?With a bitter face, bite the bullet and swallow.I almost chewed my cheek sorely, and the gizzard fell into my stomach whole.Fortunately, there are other meals besides the main course.Unexpectedly, Zhen Qiong had just padded his stomach, and the emperor gave him wine again, and the process of drinking and bowing began round after round.What else is there to eat!Fortunately, Han Miao was behind him, otherwise Zhen Qiong would really get angry.

At this time, the emperor on the throne finally had some free time.After sweeping roughly in the hall, he saw the crane cloak that was completely different from the others.However, he didn't take a closer look at the increasingly handsome Xiaodao. Instead, he set his sights on the tall and straight scholar in the blue shirt behind Zhen Qiong.

Is that Han Jia Dalang?Looks pretty young too.Wearing this body, one can be neither humble nor overbearing in the palace, behave with restraint, and have an extraordinary bearing.It's a pity that I gave up the test and changed to a businessman, otherwise I would really be able to promote one or two.But Zhao Xu also knew that it was not safe for both of them to be in court.Zhen Qiong is afraid that he will not agree to let people go out to serve as officials.This Han Miao has never asked for an official position, and he is a decent person, so he can be rewarded.

After a round of drinking, it's time to reward.This is also the time to show God's favor, important ministers and envoys must be rewarded, and the items are even more strange.Zhen Qiong didn't even eat enough, so she drank a full stomach of wine, and was depressed, when she heard the emperor's oral order from the servant, rewarding Mr. Tongxuan with five urns of royal wine, ten catties of royal tea, two sets of clothes, and four pairs of boots.

Hearing this, Zhen Qiong regained some energy and immediately got up to thank her.Looking at the respectful Xiaodao, and the young man in white who bowed down to Xie En behind him.There was also a smile on the corner of Zhao Xu's lips.With the rewarded clothes, Han Miao can also change into the next time he enters the palace.

After the reward, the dynasty came to an end.All the ministers kowtowed, and the emperor withdrew from the table.Everyone followed their shifts and slowly exited the palace.

Her legs were sore, her back was sore, and she drank a lot of wine before she was full. Zhen Qiong was also extremely depressed.After leaving the hall, a low voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"It's not worth it."

It was Han Miao's voice. Zhen Qiong turned her head and met a smiling face.The face was full of joy, and even the eyes were shining, without any pretense.It turns out that Brother Miao likes participating in the Great Dynasty so much!Zhen Qiong couldn't help but also laughed, feeling all tiredness gone.Come to this grand ceremony, isn't it just for Brother Miao, as long as he is happy!

Han Miao thought more.The clothes given by the emperor are not only for Zhen Qiong, otherwise it should be called "Taoist robe".That doesn't prove that the emperor saw him and rewarded him by rewarding Zhen Qiong.This is much more direct and clear than the reward they received when they were newlyweds.And with the acquiescence of the emperor, who else can say that the two of them are not?

This reward even made him more happy than being able to participate in the great court and have a meal in the hall.

The two walked out with the flow of people just like this.However, before he could leave the palace, a servant rushed over and said to Zhen Qiong, "Mr. Tongxuan, Mr. Wang wants to meet the officials of Han."

Wang Xianggong?Could it be Wang Anshi?Why are you looking for Brother Miao at this time?Zhen Qiong turned her head in confusion.Han Miao thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Please also ask the nobleman to lead the way."
