1.17 New Year's Day Meeting

Before dawn, Liu Bei was woken up by Sister Juan'er. Bathe and freshen up, and wear court clothes.

Imperial clothing, also known as "clothing". It is a dress used in major ceremonies such as the Great Ceremony, Qingcheng, New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and the issuance of edicts, reading, entering the table, and passing on the system. The style is 'clothes system' (upper and lower clothes, the four basic forms of Hanfu: clothing system, deep clothing system, robe system, and skirt system). In the pre-Qin period, leather cloth and Xuanduan were used as court clothes, and they were all made of fifteen liters of summer cloth, that is, two feet and two inches containing 1,200 strands of ramie cloth. The Western Han Dynasty was subdued by the Qin system, and it was also Xuanse, and it was only in the leader part of the border.

In the second year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, according to the system of crown clothes in the Zhou Dynasty and with reference to the Qin system, a series of systems such as crown clothes, wear, ribbons and court clothes were formulated. Its vermilion clothes and court clothes have become a model for future generations.

Nowadays, court clothes include Liang Guan, Red Luo Yi, White Gauze Zhongdan, Blue Decoration Collar, Red Luo Dress, Green Yuan, and Red Luo Knee Cover.

Such a grand dress, Liu Bei rarely wears it. Today, he was put on by the seven maids and took a look in the mirror. Full of Han style and Han etiquette.

Liu Bei is eight feet long, and his face is like a crown of jade. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dragon nose hanging gall. Gestures, neat and easy. Angran's husband, both civil and military. The eyes of the seven maids are like spring water, gradually making waves. Such a masterpiece, who grew up with each other since childhood, how can he not cherish it.

Fortunately, Huangmen ordered Zuo Feng to send Xiao Huangmen to lead the way. Liu Bei, who had just entered the court, breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriages and horses they rode were also from the forbidden middle school. The left and right accompaniments are imperial tigers. Xiao Huangmen often communicates back and forth, and they have long been acquainted with each other. Rao is like this, and when he saw the Linxiang Marquis in court clothes walking out of the mansion, he couldn't help but be impressed.

Such a character. Sure enough, it's a heavenly unicorn.

Then he bowed forward and lifted the curtain. Liu Bei boarded the car and entered. Xu Rong, Cheng Pu, and Shi Lian, the three generals, each led the elite cavalry and embroidered clothes, held torches high, and protected them from the side.

To be able to participate in the New Year's Day meeting, the left and right neighbors in the colony are honored. The doors were opened, and they stood in front of the stairs with their beautiful wives and concubines to see off the townspeople. The little yellow door that followed the broken steps all the way was also happy.

Out of the road, into the royal road. There were many cars and horses on the road, and people and horses neighed. The horsemen on both sides held torches aloft and formed a dragon. At this time, when you enter the city, you are all participating in the New Year's Day. The endless convoy is also the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty.

Entering the city from the Upper East Gate, there are especially many carriages and horses. There is also a sprinkler truck in front of it, and it is stepping up to sweep the streets.

The speed of the car is not fast. The little yellow door that trotted all the way can finally take a breath.

The royal road in front of the North Palace. The vehicles lined up and stopped on the side of the road, and the Han officials dressed in court clothes got out of the car one after another. Holding the 朝篏 (chÑo hù), greeting each other, three by two, walked towards the palace gate.

The North Palace has undergone additional repairs and additions by the previous kings, and is now a large-scale and magnificent palace complex. There are palace gates on all sides, and the south palace is the same as the god of the four directions. That is, the south is the Suzaku Gate, the north is the Xuanwu Gate, the east is the Canglong Gate, and the west is the White Tiger Gate. The main hall located on the central axis has Wenji Palace, Anfu Palace, Hehuan Palace, Deyang Palace, Xuanming Palace, Pinghong Palace. The palace is majestic, the gate is high and steep, and the momentum is magnificent. In addition, on both sides of the central axis, there are nearly 20 palaces.

One of the most magnificent is the Deyang Hall. Forty-three miles away from Luoyang, Yanshi City, especially can see the Deyang Hall and the Vermilion Bird Que, and the gloom is connected with the sky.

Eastern Han Dynasty Great Fu, Li You "Deyang Palace": "Open the third order and participate in the meeting, wrong gold and silver in the two wings; Enter Qingyang and peek at the general chapter. The passage of the household. …… Zhou Pavilion is very different, and the building is close to the door. Saga, blue lock forbidden door; The corridor wing wing ......" Hou Han Shu also has: "(Deyang Palace) around the circle of 10,000 people. His Majesty is two zhang high, all are made of aragonite altar, stirring swamp water in His Royal Highness, painting house Zhu Liang, jade step gold pillar, carved wisps for the palace to be good, toilet to green Weng Cui. ”

It can be seen how magnificent the Deyang Hall is.

There is no need to learn from Baiguan to get off outside the palace, Liu Bei's car drove all the way into the palace and got off nearby. Xiao Huangmen has been accompanying Liu Bei. Take him to take a shortcut, pass through the left door, and arrive at the Deyang Palace.

The New Year's Day Party is a grand opening event. People come and go, and the scene is unprecedented. Among them, Han and Hu are accompanied, and the local accents are mixed. Crowded with people, magnificent.

At this time, His Majesty and the civil and military officials had not yet appeared.

Gathered around the main hall, most of them were the barbarian, Qian, Hu, and Qiang envoys who came to pay tribute, the county and the country's officials, and the clan Zhuliu who attended the meeting.

Standing on the middle step in front of the hall, commanding a group of small yellow gates to arrange for the pilgrimage team to enter the ranks in turn, is it not the Yellow Gate Ling Zuo Feng.

I really can't squeeze in. The little yellow door had to tiptoe and call from afar.

Zuo Feng raised his head when he heard the sound, and at a glance he saw the people of the Linxiang Hou who stood out from the crowd.

What a 'Liu Bei among people'.

This whispered to his relatives, under the protection of the guards in the forbidden middle, through the flow of people, and rushed to meet Liu Bei.

was about to bow on the ground, but was held up by Liu Bei: "There is a labor order." ”

"Where is the prince? The slave and maid hated to fly out of the palace to meet the prince. Unfortunately, everything is complicated, and it is really difficult to get out. I hope that the prince will not be blamed. ”

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "It's okay." Why should you and I be so polite? Serious matters. ”

"So the slave and maid will go and go back." After Zuo Feng saluted, he stepped back and turned around, and the flow of people went away.

No wonder it's so confusing. In addition to going back and forth to the court, the officials who did not move according to the soldiers, and the clan Zhuliu who participated in the meeting many times. The most chaotic are the barbarian, crow, Hu, and Qiang envoys. The Southern Xiongnu and the three counties of Wuhuan who belonged to the Han court were fine. The barbarians, peasants, Hu, and Qiang who came from afar, especially the Western Regions missions, were very noisy. Zuo Feng's face was as usual, not unhurried. Although he is young, he is in an important position. can be called a high power, and he is already a leader among internal officials.

Under the dispatch of the Yellow Gate Order, the chaotic crowd finally began to diverge.

"Ten thousand people around the circle, Your Majesty is two feet tall."

The meaning of this sentence is that the Deyang Hall can accommodate 10,000 people around it. It does not mean that the temple can accommodate 10,000 people.

So:

Zhu Liu of the clan stands on the west side in front of the hall, facing east.

The envoys of the Man, Chen, Hu and Qiang foreign domains stood on the east side in front of the hall, facing west.

The county and state treasurers stood on the south side in front of the palace, facing north.

The three teams participating in the New Year's Day meeting surrounded His Majesty in the front hall of the Holy Majesty, surrounded on three sides.

The vacated atrium is a civil and military official.

The atrium refers to the middle part of the temple under the front steps. It is the place where the ministers stand when they salute the court or the knighthood.

"On the first day of the first month, the Son of Heaven is fortunate to be in the Yang Palace, Linxuan."

Linxuan, which means that His Majesty does not sit in front of the main hall but the palace. There are thresholds on both sides of the near eaves between the front hall of the hall, such as the Xuan of the car, so it is called 'Linxuan'.

In other words, the entire ceremony was held in the open air outside the temple. Deyang Hall only serves as a background.

Liu Bei has a special identity. is not only a member of the Han family, but also a servant of the Yellow Gate and a captain of Hu Cai, and a general of the Han Dynasty. He will also participate in the planning of the township. Therefore, the east, west, and south teams can all be accommodated. Xiao Huangmen led Liu Bei straight to the west side of the front of the hall, and was listed in the ranks of the clan Zhu Liu.

Grace is evident.

Seeing Xiao Huangmen, he personally led Liu Bei into the ranks. The clan's lords whispered one after another, not knowing what kind of person it was.

To be lined up. Looking up at the sky, the dawn is dawning.

The bells and drums sounded, after the tee.

His Majesty brought the ministers, ministers, generals, doctors, civil and military officials, into the venue.
