The old man Li Yuanjia who greeted him knew none other than Wei Zheng, the mirror of the ages.

A few years ago, the two met.

However, Li Yuanjia changed from thirteen or fourteen years old to eighteen or nineteen years old, and Lao Wei, who had changed a lot, couldn't recognize him at all, and could only rely on guessing to judge his identity; And Wei Zheng has only changed from fifty years old to fifty-six years old, except for the gray hair and wrinkles, there is basically no change, Li Yuanjia can recognize this big guy at a glance.

In fact, not only Wei Zheng, but also these ministers in the DPRK and China are difficult to forget as long as Li Yuanjia has seen them, after all, in addition to the historical aura on their bodies can leave a deep impression, it is more mainly the credit of the traverser Golden Finger - as long as the change in that face is not too big, it is difficult for Li Yuanjia to forget it even if he wants to!

Finding his place and kneeling down, avoiding the sight of the supervising imperial history, Li Yuanjia's heart suddenly settled.

Today is the first day of the new year, and all kinds of etiquette are quite exquisite.

In addition to the smoker, incense and other objects placed on the main hall, all kinds of etiquette requirements are very strict, and you can't make mistakes in your own seats. The supervising imperial history is responsible for supervising the position of the hundred officials, even if he is a prince, if Li Yuanjia is wrong, he will inevitably provoke that guy.

So after breathing a sigh of relief, Li Yuanjia smiled at Wei Zheng and said, "Thank you Xianggong Wei for reminding you...... Morning, Fang Xianggong! ”

"Morning?"

After hearing Li Yuanjia's way of greeting, Fang Xuanling, who had just turned his head to look at him, and Wei Zheng, who had been smiling, were stunned at the same time. Especially the old man Wei Zheng, he even blinked his eyes curiously, looking quite "cute".

"Hehe, that's what it means to greet you in the morning."

Touching his nose, Li Yuanjia was a little depressed in his heart.

Of course, it's not because of the sentence "early", after all, there are more times, and Li Yuanjia is now used to this situation. He was depressed that in the face of Fang Xuanling, he really didn't know how to greet him for a while - when it comes to identity and status, everyone is a one-level existence, and Li Yuanjia's title is even higher. Even if Fang Xuanling has just been added to the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, the highest level among the civil and prose officials, it is also from the first grade, and there is still a gap between it and the prince's first grade.

But when it comes to the relationship between the two, they are still sons-in-law and father-in-law.

And when it comes to the real power in his hands, as well as his influence in the court, connections, etc., Li Yuanjia and Fang Xuanling are not at the same level.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, this embarrassment didn't last long, Fang Xuanling just smiled slightly, and wanted to say something to Li Yuanjia, but his face suddenly changed, and he turned his head solemnly.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has finally arrived.

When Li Shimin walked out of the "dragon and tiger step", Li Yuanjia quickly stood up, and under the chanting and praise of the ceremony, followed the example of Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and others in front of him, and began to express his respect and awe for His Majesty the Emperor with "Worship the Chief Again"!

In these years, there is no so-called three kneeling and nine kowtowing, but on formal occasions, hundreds of officials have to kowtow to the emperor - but the so-called kowtow here is still different from the simple kowtow in the future, but requires a very strict kowtow.

This kind of etiquette is a basic skill that every man must master in this era.

In ancient times, there were nine kinds of worship, called nine worships, among which there were "auspicious worship", "evil worship", and special worship for women, etc., and the most commonly used auspicious worship on normal occasions was divided into the head of the head, the head of the head and the empty head.

Three etiquettes for three different occasions and crowds.

Ji Shou is the most solemn etiquette, there are strict requirements to do, in the simplest words to describe is lying on the ground, head knocking on the ground, stay for a while, this kind of big ceremony is generally the minister worships the king, the son worships the father, the student worships the teacher and worships the heavens, worships the earth, worships the ancestors and other occasions; And the pause is to get up with a knock on the ground, which is a real "kowtow", which is used between people of equal rank or status; The empty head is the head does not touch the ground, which is used to express gratitude to the superiors and subordinates, or the emperor sacrifices to the sky......

The so-called second worship of the chief is the meaning of the chief twice.

This is already the most solemn of the ancient rites, and there is nothing greater than this.

After the ceremony, Li Yuanjia knelt down on the mat again, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay, that is, the fifteenth day of the new year is a little troublesome on the Daxing Palace, and if it's like this on other days, it's really annoying!" ”

The form is greater than the substance, and the daily pilgrimage outside the fifteenth day of the new year is a regular visit, no need to arrange the guard of honor, and there is no pomp, it is a real administrative day. There are relatively few officials who often go to Japan and go to court, and the grades are relatively high, so everyone will naturally have a lot of casual ......

After sitting down, Li Yuanjia looked up at the dragon chair...... Oh no, on the thing that was still called the couch in these years, he glanced at Emperor Li Shimin carefully, and then his heart suddenly burst.

Today's emperor is quite worried.

At least from Li Yuanjia's point of view, Li Shimin's complexion today was a little gloomy, and there was a faint sense of exhaustion on his face, as if he hadn't rested at night.

"There's a newcomer in the palace, and you're overworked at night?"

Subconsciously thinking about it for a while, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth curved a small arc.

As if sensing Li Yuanjia's gaze, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head, and his two eyes glared at Li Yuanjia, which immediately startled him.

"Goo-dong"

Swallowing and spitting, Li Yuanjia quickly withdrew his eyes, and his waist straightened up a lot in an instant. It's just that he only lasted for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Mmp, I hate this kneeling the most!

Don't look at the tables and chairs of "Han Ace", which have long entered the palace, and even in the homes of hundreds of officials, in addition to old stubborns like Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, there are also many people who have already used more comfortable tables and chairs. But if he wants to replace the small table with tables and chairs in the court, Li Yuanjia said that he has no expectations, at least in ten or eight years, there will be no score!

"Would you like to do something to speed things up?"

Just when Li Yuanjia began to think crankily again, Wei Zheng, one of the prime ministers of the court, had already stood up from his position. Walking all the way to the emperor's side and receiving an edict, Wei Zheng went straight to the northeast position, facing west and said loudly: "There is a system!" ”

There was a loud noise, and the civil and military officials stood up again.

"Owned?"

Li Yuanjia, who was a little confused, reacted immediately and quickly got up.

The meaning of the system is that the emperor has a will.

Staring at Fang Xuanling in front, Li Yuanjia cautiously followed the other party to "worship the chief again", and secretly continued to scold in his heart: "Damn etiquette, what the hell is living in this era, I don't know how much time to waste on such boring things in my life!" The most disgusting thing is that if you accidentally lose your instrument, maybe you will be put on a copy of ginseng, and it will be miserable......"

Li Yuanjia was unhappy, but Wei Zheng did not hesitate, and after the luggage of the hundred officials was completed, he read the emperor's will aloud.

And Li Yuanjia, who was already accustomed to ancient texts, was shocked after listening to the emperor's decree, and looked at Li Shimin again with a swish--the second sister-in-law who will also be famous for eternity in the future, is this the time limit?
