In ancient times, there are two kinds of court rituals, one is the ceremony of the emperor and the minister to handle government affairs in the court, mainly involving the place of listening to the court, listening to the court, and the rituals and special regulations related to listening to the court. The other is the emperor's court meeting of civil and military officials, princes of the kingdom and foreign envoys at festivals such as Yuanzheng and Winter Solstice, and receiving congratulations from the ministers, etc., which is called "Great Chaoyi", or "Gift of Chaohe" and "Chaohe". The Chang Dynasty was set up to govern the state government, and the occasion of the pilgrimage did not deal with the state affairs, but the specifications of the great court ceremony, that is, the gift of the court, were higher than those of the Chang Dynasty. And Cai Ji and Liu Bei participated in the first court ceremony after Xu Du, which was the great court ceremony of Yuan Zheng, that is, the Zheng Dynasty.

There is a saying, "When the rooster crows, the morning is profitable." Whether it is a regular dynasty or a positive dynasty, the reason why "chao" is called a dynasty is because hundreds of officials usually have to enter the court in the early morning. The first great dynasty after the Han Emperor moved the capital to Xudu was naturally no exception. So on this day, the night was not bright, and the stars were in the sky, so Cai Ji led Pang Tong out of the county residence to the imperial city. At this time, Xudu Street was already full of traffic and pedestrians. In front of the palace gate, there were even more civil and military ministers like Cai Ji who were dressed in court clothes and holding wat boards.

"The first year of Yuanzuo, the auspicious day is good. It is a Jiahui, and this is a high hall. Respect and humility are listed, and there are rules and regulations. The clothes are fresh and clean, dark and yellow. Pure and drunk, sitting in the light. Treasure and miscellaneous, full of rounds. The sheng chime is set up, and the zither is full of tension. The sad song is loud, chewing on the Qing business. Looking down at Wenxuan, looking up at Hualiang. May Pauls be happy, and a thousand years will be common. Laughter and entertainment. Royal Glory. The longevity test is boundless. ”

Cao Cao's fourth Cao Zhi once described the grand scene of the Luoyang Imperial Palace during the Cao Wei period in his "Zhenghui Poems". Due to the turbulent times and the new relocation of the imperial driver, the great dynasty in the second year of Jian'an could not be compared with Cao Wei, who was in his heyday more than 20 years later, both in terms of scale and momentum. But at the moment, the country is still Liu's, and Cao Zhi is still just a four-year-old child. So for Cai Ji and Pang Tong, who went to court for the first time, the crowding scene in front of them alone was enough to make the two excited.

Thinking of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and other famous generals, wearing the same court clothes and standing in the same place, Cai Ji couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and praised sincerely, "Shiyuan, look at this is the world"

"Hmm." Although Pang Tong, who was holding the congratulatory gift, simply responded, it could be seen from his intently intently expression that this young strategist under the age of eighteen was obviously also infected by the majestic and festive atmosphere of the scene. It must be known that just a year ago, Pang Tong was just a teenager studying in Jing and Yangzhou. Even because of his quiet personality and unattractive appearance, he is just an unknown junior in Jingzhou. But at this moment, he, Pang Shiyuan, was wearing a court robe and holding a congratulatory gift outside the palace gate. At this moment, Pang Tong only felt that Jingzhou was far away from him, and only the tall palace gate in front of him and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty were left in his eyes—no, as the lord said, the world was in front of him

And just when Pang Tong's heart was surging, Cai Ji restrained his initial excitement and began to look at the courtiers around him. Although Cai Ji knew the deeds, exploits, and even the time of death of some of them well. However, Cai Ji has no clue what the characters recorded in the history books look like. At this moment, she only felt that there were bearded uncles wearing similar court clothes everywhere. According to Cai Ji's aesthetics, even if a man looks frustrated, as long as he wears this kind of black court dress, he can bring out a bit of majesty at first glance. So it's really difficult to judge who's who is just by appearance.

Fortunately, through a bearded uncle, Cai Ji still swept a young and familiar figure, that is Cao Ang, who is the ruling Jinwu. saw that he was also wearing a black court dress, and he was chatting with a civil official in his thirties with a handsome face. The four words "Han official prestige", through guò Cao Ang and the civil official, are vividly reflected from the two perspectives of civil and military.

It seemed that he sensed that someone was looking, and Cao Ang, who was talking and laughing, subconsciously tilted his head, and inadvertently met Cai Ji's line of sight. Cao Ang, who had never seen Cai Jinan's appearance, was stunned at first, and then a smile of surprise appeared on his young face again. I saw Cao Ang turn around and nod and say a word to the civil official, and then strode towards Cai Ji's side.

"I've seen Cai Fujun. The prince came really early. Cao Ang clasped his fists and bowed to Cai Ji competently.

Faced with the other party's somewhat awkward accosting, Cai Ji held back a smile and returned the courtesy, "Reward." Early in the morning. ”

Cao Ang was reminded by Cai Ji like this, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, not knowing how to talk to him next. At this moment, I saw that the civil official who was with Cao Ang just now stepped forward happily and said to Cai Ji with a smile like a spring breeze, "This must be Cai Fujun from Donglai County." In the next Shangshu order Xun Yu. ”

As soon as Cai Ji heard that the young Wenchen in front of him was Xun Yu, the chief strategist under Cao Cao, Xun Wenruo immediately restrained his thoughts of joking with Cao Ang, and turned to return the salute respectfully, "I've seen Xun Lingjun." ”

"Cai Fujun is polite. I have heard that Cai Fujun is young and promising, and when I saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation. Xun Yu was polite with Cai Ji, but also quietly looked at the young girl in front of him, who was only twenty-eight years old.

In other words, Xun Yu has heard of Donglai Cai Anzhen's name. Whether it is Cao Ren and Xi Zhicai's description of the battle of Huangxian, or the various messages sent by the spies later, or the words in Guo Jia's letter when he refused, they all outlined the posture of a prodigy in the world for Xun Yu. But when Xun Yu saw the real person at this moment, he immediately overturned all previous speculations. Cai Anzhen is indeed young, but she is by no means as simple as a prodigy. This is as good as Liu Xuande. That kind of ambition is not something that can be concealed by a humble gesture or tone. But that's why it's worth using.

Cai Ji didn't know that Xun Yu had brought her and Liu Bei all the way in two or three sentences. She still wanted to say a few more words to Xun Yu to get closer to her, but before she could open her mouth to answer, she heard the drums not far away. So Cai Ji raised his head and followed the prestige, only to see the tall palace gate slowly open, and with the voice of the ruling person, hundreds of officials and bureaucrats began to crowd.

Seeing this, Xun Yu immediately owed a slight debt to Cai Ji to show goodbye. Although Cao Ang was a little reluctant, he didn't forget to invite Cai Ji before leaving, "Cai Fujun, my father will have a dinner with the mansion tomorrow, and I invite the mansion to enjoy the light." ”

"Cao Sikong set up a banquet, and the government should attend." Cai Ji agreed. By the time she straightened up, Xun Yu and Cao Ang had already walked away. Looking at the backs of the two, Cai Ji couldn't help but remind Pang Tong beside him, "Shi Yuan, that Xun Lingjun just now was Cao Cao's mastermind. ”

"But the one who mentioned to Cao Cao 'Serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate'?" Pang Tong stared at Xun Yu's back and asked.

"It's this person. Not only to welcome the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu also put forward the 'Central Plains Theory' as Cao Cao's strategy to dominate the Central Plains. It can be said that without Xun Wenruo, there would be no Cao Mengde," Cai Ji explained to Pang Tong with emotion.

Pang Tong's ears heard Cai Ji's high evaluation of Xun Yu, and he couldn't help but secretly clench the tray in his hand, and swore in a low voice, "Don't worry, lord." The system is by no means inferior to Xun Wenruo. ”

"This mansion Shiyuan will one day be able to surpass Xun Lingjun. But before that, we will take this trip to Xudu. Cai Ji turned his head and encouraged Pang Tong with a smile.

After hearing what Cai Ji said, Pang Tong immediately regained his previous respect, and instead lowered his head and agreed in a low-key manner, "Oh." ”

According to historical records, the court ceremony of the Han Dynasty was determined by the uncle Sun Tong of the Western Han Dynasty. That is, when the sky is about to dawn but not yet dawn, the 35 "palms and guests praise and accept things" will be treated with the ceremony, and they will be guided by the times; When the courtiers enter the temple gate, the court Chen train rides, guards, and guards, and places weapons and banners. Once the voice is taught, it tends to show respect. The so-called "tendency" is a kind of etiquette in ancient times to walk briskly to meet His Holiness in order to show respect. Even if you are a general galloping on the battlefield, you have to take small steps to meet the emperor with low eyebrows. Not only that, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the last dynasty, sacrifices and banquets had to "take off their shoes", which means that hundreds of officials were not allowed to wear shoes.

Cai Ji and Pang Tong, who went to court with the civil and military bureaucrats, were naturally no exception. After all, even Cao Cao has not yet obtained the privilege of "sword walking in the palace" at this time. However, stepping on the spotless ground of the palace at this moment, Cai Ji was still secretly glad in his heart that Liu Xie, the little emperor, was quite kind, and did not let the ministers even take off their socks like those monarchs in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to be barefoot and face on this cold day.

After a short time, Cai Ji and the others came to the bottom of the palace, and waited to see Lang Zhong, who was in charge of the palace gate, standing on both sides of the steps, with hundreds of people on each step. Heroes, princes, generals and military histories are displayed in the west and stand in the east; The civil officials and prime ministers are displayed in the east and stand in the west. Although Cai Ji doesn't know martial arts, her identity at the moment is Taishou, so she was arranged to stand in the ranks of military generals. What's even more coincidental is that standing in front of her is Liu Bei, who had just met in the Yang Mansion that day. Of course, both of them are facing the saint for the first time, so they can't enter the main hall for the time being.

It is true that Cai Ji and Liu Bei have known each other for a long time, but on such a solemn occasion, the two still maintain a posture of watching each other's nose and nose and heart, and they don't care about each other. Not long after, there were chamberlains singing Liu Bei's name and introducing him into the palace. After another half an hour, Cai Ji's ears also heard the loud voice of the inner servant, Xuan Donglai, Taishou Cai Ji, and Cai Ji came to see him-"

Cai Ji took a deep breath and settled his mind. Then he led Pang Tong, walked up the stairs expressionlessly, and slowly walked into the hall. At this time, the main hall was full of people who left their names in the annals of history, but Cai Ji never squinted, let alone looked up at the Han Emperor on the throne of the main hall. And the court of the Han Dynasty is the heart of the world after all, even if many civil and military officials present are full of interest in Cai Ji, the girl Taishou. But on such a majestic occasion, there was still no one who felt the discordant sound, let alone speak lightly like those generals of Yuan Shao's Mansion. In this way, Cai Ji walked to the center of the main hall in a solemn silence, and then bowed his head three times, leaned down on the ground, and shouted to the Taoist minister Donglai Taishou Cai Ji to see His Majesty. ”

Cai Ji didn't dare to look directly at the Son of Heaven, but Liu Xie, who was the Son of Heaven, could look at Cai Ji generously. It is true that Liu Xie has learned from Wu Shuo that Cai Ji does not want to stay in Xu Du. But for the girl Taishou in front of him who is the same age and has many legendary stories, Liu Xie is still full of curiosity. He even wanted to end the morning dynasty as soon as possible so that he could meet Cai Ji alone. However, due to the presence of Cao Cao and other officials, Liu Xie did not look too frivolous. So the young man at this time just said as usual, "Aiqing is flat"

"Thank you." Cai Ji took advantage of the gap between getting up and glanced at the throne in front of him with the corner of his eye. As expected, at the top of the throne sat a young man dressed in a crown and wearing a tiara. Although Liu Xie's face could not be seen clearly through the crown, from his upright posture, it could still be seen that this young son of the Han family was not the only one. In addition, under the left hand of the young man, a middle-aged man with a short figure and a beard stood quite abruptly. Judging from the position he was standing, the clothes he was wearing, and his arrogant demeanor, Cai Ji couldn't help but guess that this person was most likely Cao Cao.

And just when Cai Ji was secretly speculating about the identity of this man, he heard the jade voice of the young son of heaven in his ears again, "Aiqing has worked hard all the way from afar. ”

"Xie Majesty xià cares." Cai Ji said and motioned to Pang Tong behind him to step forward and present a congratulatory gift, "Your Majesty, this is the Donglai congratulatory gift and the Donglai County Accounting Book." Please also take a look. ”

As soon as Cai Ji's words fell, there was an uproar in the hall. Although according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the representatives of each county should also report to the emperor on the local annual income and taxation in the Zheng Dynasty. However, in the turbulent times, except for the two prefectures of Yan and Yuzhou under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao, the rest of the prefectures and counties did not submit the "upper accounting book" that recorded the local financial situation. In other words, the current Hanting has long lost control of local finances. Therefore, regardless of whether the number given by Cai Ji is true or not, her attitude alone is enough to prove to the people of the world that she is loyal to the Han family.

Although Liu Xie is young, he still understands this truth. At this moment, in the face of loyal ministers from afar, Liu Xie naturally did not hesitate to praise, "Cai Qing is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty"

However, before the young Son of Heaven announced the reward for Cai Ji, he saw the bearded man standing on his left hand, and he took the lead to step out and play, "Minister Cao Cao has a book." ”

Sure enough, it's Cao Cao. Cai Ji secretly exclaimed in his heart. But at the same time, she was also curious about how Cao Cao would react to the young emperor on the throne when he interrupted Liu Xie's speech like this. However, to Cai Ji's surprise, Liu Xie seems to have long been accustomed to this situation. But seeing that he was not angry at this time, he said to Cao Cao with a smile, "Cao Qing, please speak." ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately bowed respectfully to Liu Xie on the seat and said, "Minister Cao Cao is the Taishou of Donglai and Cai Ji as the assassin of Xuzhou. ”

Huh~~~ The most critical point of Xudu's trip has finally been launched, and the bird ~~~ personally said that the previous conspiracy was dripping ~ so tired~

The little phoenix probed again: My lord is facing the saint for the first time, do you have pink tickets, recommendations, and collections?
