Chapter 202 Main Hall
When he saw someone coming, Xiao Yichen hurriedly walked out of the crowd, hurriedly walked in front of the old man, bowed to the end, and said with a little joy: "Students meet the teacher." ”
"Hahaha, what kind of student, you kid just like this set of grinding and chirping face kung fu. Grabbing Xiao Yichen's arm, the old man laughed loudly, and the palm of the big fan also slapped Xiao Yichen's shoulder.
Twisting his head slightly, sticking it to Yu Xiaoxiang's ear, Xing'er said softly: "That's the old man of Dingguo Gongcheng Plastic Tiecheng." The commander-in-chief of the Star Army of the previous generation has been fighting on the battlefield since the time of Emperor Taishang, and he can be regarded as the commander of our Royal Highness. ”
Yu Xiaoxiang nodded lightly when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be a little more interested in the old general in front of her. Just looking at Xiao Yichen standing in front of that old man Cheng, he actually felt a little happy.
Originally, Xiao Yichen's height was 1.87 meters, and most people would not look short in front of them, and his figure would not look thin. But now standing in front of this old man, he is like a child who has not grown, especially the sound of bangbangbang
However, Old Man Cheng didn't feel it at all, and after happily "beating" Xiao Yichen, he said: "The old man has read the battle report, if you encounter this kind of weak chicken rebel army in the future, let the old man go!
"If the teacher goes into battle, those rebels are afraid that they will be scared to death directly in the starship. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, the teacher is still at home for a long time, and the province has scared the rebels, so what can I do with the military exploits of those generals under the command of the students?" Xiao Yichen smiled and began to pat his ass again.
"Hahaha......" was instantly photographed very happily, and Old Man Cheng's big hand began to "beat" Xiao Yichen's shoulder again, "Look, the life of the Holy Monarch is good! Give birth to a handle, can fight, treat, and speak! The group of bastards in the old man's house, except for causing trouble all day long, it is useless to fart, I knew that if I married a few more girls, maybe I could give birth to a boy like you." ”
Before these words fell, another person came behind the two, and shouted in disgust: "Old horseman, no matter how many girls you marry, with your IQ, can you give birth to an immortal like the Third Highness? Don't put gold on your face, hurry up and go home, and the baby will go." ”
This voice naturally attracted Yu Xiaoxiang's attention, and without her questioning, Xing'er looked at the old man in the red robe who was thinner than Xiao Yichen, about the same age as Old Man Cheng, but also vigorous, and said softly: "This is Mu Ying, the protector of the country, the old man Mu, the chief of staff of the previous generation of the Xingchen Army Unified Command." Don't look at the two old men as soon as they meet and fight cocks, in fact, the relationship is very good. Now, Old Man Cheng still holds the title of Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Old Man Mu leads the direct advice of the military affairs of Zhongshu Province. These two official positions are considered to be exclusively for the elderly, but they can also have contact with military affairs and can go directly to the heavens, which is also more important. ”
Sure enough, it was just the few words that Xing'er spoke, and the two old guys were about to start full martial arts, if it weren't for Xiao Yichen in the middle, pulling one by one, maybe the Yijian would have to be pulled out and cut people.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yu Xiaoxiang asked in a low voice: "The military department is still a pensioner, shouldn't it be in charge of the military?"
"Theoretically, yes, but in practice it is only to give advice when His Majesty needs it. The one who really holds the real power is still the commander-in-chief of the unified command of the Xingchen Army. The difference is that the secretary of the military department never leaves Beijing, and the commander-in-chief has to inspect various places from time to time. That is, the former has actually been disconnected from the real army, while the latter manages and mobilizes all the armed forces of the empire. Xing'er explained softly, which can be regarded as solving the doubts of the curious baby.
Just when everyone was making a commotion, the door of the main hall of Guangming opened, and a middle-aged waiter who Yu Xiaoxiang had never seen walked out accompanied by several attendants, and after scanning the crowd, he shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, the hour has come, the court officials are lined up, and they will enter the temple to face the saint." ”
"Go, follow behind His Highness. As soon as she heard the words of the waiter, Xing'er gently tugged on Yu Xiaoxiang's cuffs, and followed behind Yue'er with low eyebrows, followed by Xiao Yichen, who had already walked forward.
Looking down and peeking around, he found that the officials were lined up in eight teams, and the civil officials in black official uniforms, led by Yuwen Xiucheng and Nangong Wen, were standing at the front of the four teams on the left. And the military attaches in red official uniforms followed behind Xiao Yichen one after another. At this time, the purple-gold official robe on his body was particularly conspicuous, and the only posture with a maid and an inner attendant also became the focus of everyone. It's just that the court officials have also become accustomed to Prince Lingxiao's style, and no one has set their eyes on Yu Xiaoxiang and others.
"Ministers, please see the Holy Monarch, Your Majesty has a long life!"
After everyone had finished standing, they saw the waiter at the door of the store waving the dust in his hand, and everyone's greetings sounded at the same time.
"All the ministers enter the palace!" Another shout sounded, and thousands of officials, who were in the queue, slowly walked up the white jade stairs on both sides, and began to move towards the main hall one by one.
Yu Xiaoxiang, who lowered his head, noticed that just those steps on the ground were also carved with countless auspicious clouds, and their work was exquisite, and they were never inferior to the so-called works of art that they had seen before. The cultural heritage of the ancient empire and its huge financial resources can be seen from this.
Yu Xiaoxiang, who entered the main hall for the first time, carefully raised his feet and crossed the tall threshold that was large enough to reach his calves, only to find that the ground was all made of purple gold, and it seemed that in order to prevent slipping, there were many strange moire patterns on it. In the entire hall, there is not a single column, but the area is enough to accommodate 10,000 people, and I don't know what material it is made of. There were also many gold-armored warriors around the hall, but instead of holding swords, they held strange weapons that looked like spears in both hands, but the top looked like a large watermelon. Yu Xiaoxiang knew that this was the warrior in front of the palace that Xing'er had said before, also known as the golden gourd warrior.
At the innermost end of the main hall is the Imperial Terrace, which is high above. Like the outside of the hall, it is divided into three steps, each with nine steps. The top is naturally the Purple Gold Throne, with a dragon chair placed on the right side of the next order, and a dragon chair on the same side of the next step.
Originally, I thought I was going to stand at the bottom of the steps, but I didn't expect Xiao Yichen to stride up the first nine steps, and sit down on the dragon chair generously. And Yue'er had already made a look, letting Yu Xiaoxiang follow her side and stand behind Xiao Yichen.
"The old slave knocked to see the Third Highness. The inner chamberlain, who had been arrogant outside the hall before, trotted in front of Xiao Yichen at this moment, and after kneeling down and saluting, he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you want to have a cup of tea first?" Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are still in the apse at the moment, and I am afraid it will take some time to come out. ”
