Chapter 158: Huo Guang
Weiyang Palace does have the grandeur of the palace room of the great country, after Ren Hong entered the Xuanwu Gate of Beique, he found that there was a palace wall inside, and the wall opened four doors, that is, no matter what kind of identity the person who came, he had to get off the "bus Sima Gate", and then he went to the inside of Weiyang Palace.
From afar, you can see that a majestic palace of grand scale stands on Longshou Mountain, and the halls are arranged in order from north to south, from the hill to the foot of the mountain.
The quaint vertical bell is erected in the palace courtyard, the huge golden man stands outside the main gate, the hall is horizontally framed with the shape like a flying dragon, the temple beam that curves like a long rainbow, the rafters are arranged neatly, the eaves are stretched like a bird's wings, and the building pole of the load is arranged like a galloping horse.
However, they bypassed the majestic halls on the hills, and went to the inconspicuous hall at the foot of the mountain, where Ren Hong caught a glimpse of the three words "Chengming Palace" written on the plaque.
His Majesty in the Chengming Palace has Guangluxun and the guards with the guards Chen Che and foot guards, with great fanfare, and the confessors who belong to Taichang are responsible for the etiquette and lead the ministers into the palace gate.
So Ren Hong was led to the studio on the side of the main hall by a rider who called himself "Yang Yun" and had a slightly ugly appearance.
The so-called studio is the hall room with paintings in the palace, and it is the building around the main hall, and it is the place where the ministers who are called to participate in the court meeting are on standby. The court has its own rules, things have to be done one by one, people with different identities have to wait separately, Ren Hong stayed in the West Studio, while Princess Wusun and the prince waited in the East Studio.
They came very early, and the ministers had almost arrived, just waiting for the general Huo Guang to welcome the emperor - the Son of Heaven's dormitory was called the "Greenhouse Palace", which was just south of the Chengming Palace.
But after waiting for a long time, the confessor shouted that the Son of Heaven had arrived, even if there was a thick pou mat, Ren Hong's legs were numb on his knees.
Ren Hong misses the stool and pony in the Western Regions, where he can sit as much as he wants.
And the rider who knelt beside him, who was in charge of guidance, showed a playful smile.
Yang Yun patted his knees, in a deep voice, obviously stuffed something, he said in a low voice: "It's really the first time for Ren to participate in the court meeting, and I don't know how to put a soft lining on my legs." “
Can it be like this?
Ren Hong looked at Yang Yun, this should be what Chang Hui told him, the son of Yang Chang, the imperial historian, and the grandson of Ma Qian of Taishi Company, the day before yesterday, he was the one who helped Chang Hui and others argue at the meeting of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If you can't kneel, then let's chat, anyway, there are quite some voices in the hall at the moment, and the ministers seem to be waiting impatiently.
"Thank you Yang Qilang." Ren Hong said softly.
"Thank me for what?" Yang Yun raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know.
"About the meeting of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"That's it." Yang Yun pretended to be abrupt: "I can't get used to listening to the crooked reasoning of virtuous literature, just say it casually, and those who let it know don't have to take it to heart." ”
Ren Hong said with a smile: "Not only that, in the past, Taishi Gong once saved the Ren family and saved my family from being wiped out, Hong was still young at the time, and was born in Hexi, and he will visit Dr. Yushi and Mrs. Yang another day." ”
"You're going to have to visit my house." Yang Yun didn't know how to write polite words at all.
"I'll just take advantage of it now, so that if the person who is in charge of it is really sealed, I still think that my family is clinging to you."
"My mother asked me to invite you to my house at your leisure, she has something for you."
"One thing?" Ren Hong was curious, could it be ......
Yang Yun didn't speak, and only let Ren Hong guess what it was.
After waiting for a while, the voice in the Chengming Hall became louder, and the quality of the civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty was really not good, like the students whose teachers were not in the classroom. It's no wonder that Gaozu Liu Bang had a headache about this, which made Shusun Tong formulate etiquette, otherwise the military meritorious ministers of the year were drunk and splashed, and it was still a trivial matter to hit the pillar with a sword, and they could tear down Weiyang Palace.
Ren Hong was also quite bored, and after a while, he deliberately muttered softly: "I thought that the Son of Heaven and the Great General would hold a court meeting in the Xuanshu Hall or the Front Hall." ”
When he came, he saw the Weiyang front hall on the Longshou Mountain, which is the landmark building of the Weiyang Palace, more than a hundred years ago, Xiao He beheaded the Longshou Mountain and camped it, and the North Que was established at the same time.
In addition, there is a Xuanmuro Hall located in the middle of the mountain, which is regarded as "Weiyang Zheng" by the people of the time.
Sure enough, when Yang Yun heard Ren Hong's remarks as a "hillbilly", he immediately smiled coldly: "Ren Yun listened to the boasts of those who have never entered Weiyang Palace at all, right?" The front hall of Weiyang is only used for important things such as the emperor's enthronement, the establishment of the queen, the court, the great funeral, and the worship of the three dukes. ”
"Ren, although you have made great contributions, and the entry of Princess Wusun and Prince into the court has not been a major event in ten years, it is not important enough to open the front hall. If Princess Xie Wu and Wusun Kunmi come in person, and meet the Zhengdan court, the princes and subjects will gather almost the same. ”
"As for the Xuanshu Palace, it is used for His Majesty to convene a small number of officials in the inner court to assemble, and ordinary courtiers can't even enter the palace door."
"Therefore, today is only held in the Chengming Palace."
"I see!" Ren Hongzuo suddenly realized.
Saying this, Yang Yun secretly muttered in his heart: "In fact, how can there be a five-day dynasty, although His Majesty is in power, but he rarely shows up, it would be good to have a regular dynasty once a month." Government Affairs Case Appointment General. ”
"The general usually finalizes all the major matters with the officials of the inner court in the shogunate, and after the decision is made, he will inform the Son of Heaven, and then notify the prime minister, the imperial historian and Jiuqing to do it."
After he finished thinking about it, he suddenly understood why Ren Hong wanted to mention this matter.
Yang Yun then laughed and pierced him: "Those who are in charge don't worry, there is a saying in Chang'an City that if a tree falls in Shangguan, it can hit two princes." Since the Han Dynasty, there have been hundreds of princes in the world, and when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, there were as many as one hundred and six marquis states that were revoked because of the poor quality of the gold. How can such a trivial matter as dissecting the feudal marquis be put in the Xuan room and the front hall every time? ”
"He's a smart man." For the first time, Ren Hong found that someone whose brain was spinning as fast as himself, this Yang Yun was really a little clever ghost.
He didn't hide it anymore, he simply revealed his true heart and said with a smile: "So I'm relieved." ”
Yang Yun is a big mouth: "Ren Zhi, in my opinion, there is a ...... out of ten about your marquis."
"Silence!" There was a shout from behind the two, but the official under Taichang couldn't bear it, and finally began to stare at the two of them.
"Imperial history law enforcement, it is not as good as the ceremonial person to lead it away, but it is not as polite as me, Yang Qilang, Ren Zhi, be cautious!"
Ren Hong and Yang Yun could only be silent, but he secretly said in his heart:
"You ceremonial official, why don't you blame the ministers in the hall who started laughing?"
But in the next second, all those noises disappeared, and the hall was silent, from Jiuqing to the captain, from two thousand stones to six hundred stones, more than a hundred courtiers were afraid of silence, and stood up straight in an orderly manner.
"Huo Guang and the emperor are here?" Ren Hong let out a long breath and finally waited.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't hear the ceremonial officer shouting "trend"! There was only one sound......
"General Sima has arrived!"
This means that the emperor did not show up? Is it a physical illness or why?
But Ren Hong's expectations for Huo Guang were actually far greater than that of the little emperor Liu Fuling, who might die in another year, and he quickly straightened up, wanting to get a glimpse of the appearance of the powerful minister.
Looking outside the painting room from Ren Hong's point of view, he could see a small section of the hall inside the gate of the Chengming Palace, and when Huo Guang walked by, he might be able to see him.
But what he didn't expect was that Ren Hong was blocked by the dense skull crown belt of the ministers, and he couldn't see anyone passing by.
After half a ring, until the ministers bowed slightly from the end of the hall to the head of the hall, and saluted the real authorities of the Han Dynasty, Ren Hong still didn't even see the tip of Huo Guang's hat.
Ren Hong retracted in frustration.
However, Yang Yun next to him saw his intentions, and said with a smile: "The general is only seven feet three inches tall, so it is easy to be covered by the high crown of the ministers. ”
Have you measured? I still asked Huo Guang's tailor why he knew so clearly.
However, seven feet and three inches, according to the Han ruler of 23.1 centimeters, Huo Guang is only 1.68 meters.
Compared with the Kansai Han who are eight feet old at every turn, this great Sima general is as rumored......
What a short politician!
After a while, a slow and full baritone sounded in the Chengming Hall.
"Your Majesty is inconvenienced, so let Guangdai be the court!"
Yang Yun shook his head, this guy who owes his mouth rarely shows worry, the Son of Heaven has often been absent from the court meeting in recent years, and their Lang official is most aware of it in Weiyang Palace, so it is not surprising that he is not surprised.
Hearing this, there was a noise in the court, but it soon fell silent, and when Huo Guang didn't come, he ignored the ministers who spoke unscrupulously to the courtiers, but at this moment they were even careful to breathe.
There is only one person in this hall who can speak.
Although the emperor surnamed Liu is "inconvenient", there is still a standing "emperor" in the Chengming Palace!
The voice sounded again: "Summons Princess Wusun, the prince and the meritorious person Ren Hong to the palace!" ”
"Whoever is in charge, follow me, don't walk around, the general doesn't like accidents." Yang Yun no longer had a hippie smile, got up solemnly, and walked out of the studio with Ren Hong.
Ren Hong followed behind Yang Yun and Liguan, and Liu Yaoguang and Liu Wannian, who were opposite, were also coming out of the East Studio.
Liu Wannian's fiery red hair was combed into a boy's hair, looking like a red-haired Nezha.
And Liu Yaoguang changed into a palace dress of a Han princess today, carefully combed the Han girl's hairstyle, put on makeup, and walked in small steps, which was completely different from the usual free and easy dress.
But Ren Hong didn't care to look at her carefully, but couldn't help but glance at the hall.
Ren Hong saw a minister in a black court robe, he was wearing a red crown, his dark coat and hat looked fair-skinned, and his long beard hung down to his chest.
Because of his slightly short stature, Huo Guang was like a flock of chickens and cranes among the courtiers.
But this not too tall body contains the power that can make those civil and military officials who are a head taller than him tremble and remain silent.
When the Great Sima General Huo Guang stood on the side of the emperor's imperial bed.
He was reflected on the wall by the Chengming Palace lamp, like a hundred-foot giant!
