Whether Zhu Youxiao is willing or not, his first court meeting is about to begin.

Zhu Youxiao, who had a resentful face, got up from the warm dragon bed and kept muttering in his mouth.

"I'll go, didn't I say that it's cool to be the emperor, it's just 5 o'clock in the morning and I'm going to get up and go to bed, and this emperor is too bitter."

"In the future, I must change the morning meeting to 8:00 again, and I didn't get up at 5:00 to go to work when I was at work."

"By the way, isn't there someone who wrote a poem about the emperor? What do you say, the clouds and temples are shaking, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night. The spring night is bitter and short, and the king will not rise early, and if Lao Tzu knows who said it, he must have dug his grave."

However, this is all Zhu Youxiao's own hardship, and he has to tell Wei Zhongxian that he will go to the court tomorrow. In the past, the Emperor of the Apocalypse only went to the court to discuss matters with the ministers when there was a major event or a war on the frontier, and the rest of the time he worked in his carpenter's house.

Under the service of Empress Zhang Yan, she put on the dragon robe dedicated to the court meeting, and went to Fengxianmen under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian with a depressed face.

When we all watch the Ming and Qing Dynasty palace fighting TV series, we will see the scene of the emperor going to the morning court in the Jinluan Hall of the Forbidden City in the morning. But such a scene only lasted for more than 90 days in the Ming Dynasty in history, and it did not exist at all in the Qing Dynasty. The Forbidden City was built in the eighteenth year of Zhu Di Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. In the second year after the construction of the Forbidden City was completed, Zhu Di led hundreds of civil and military officials to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing.

At that time, the first three halls of the Forbidden City were called Fengtian Palace, Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall respectively. However, only more than 90 days after Zhu Di stayed in Fengtian Hall to deal with the government and the early dynasty, the first three halls were struck by lightning because of rain, which caused a fire and burned down. At that time, the superstitious Zhu Di was afraid of "violating the will of heaven", so he did not rebuild the first three halls, but chose to listen to the government in front of the Fengxian Palace.

The most important activities of the ancient imperial court were usually three types: the early dynasty, the afternoon dynasty, and the late dynasty, of which the early dynasty was the most core part, which was to discuss the major affairs of the national military aircraft.

Before the morning court, the minister must get up at midnight and prepare to stop before heading to the noon gate. At about three o'clock in the morning, the ministers arrived outside the noon gate to wait.

The entry phase is usually around five o'clock in the morning, when officials begin to enter the palace. Civil officials enter through the left gate, and military attaches enter through the right gate, and they are first arranged in the south of the Jinshui Bridge according to their ranks. The civil official is the left class, the military attache is the right class, and the two policies are facing each other in the royal road, which is called "living". During this period, there is a picket in charge of the imperial history to supervise, and anyone who coughs, spits, is crowded, or has an untidy posture will be recorded and dealt with.

After the salute, the morning pilgrimage officially began. The officials of Honglu Temple went out of class first, and reported to the emperor the number of officials who entered Beijing to thank him and left Beijing to resign. These people were all reported at Honglu Temple the day before. If the emperor wants to summon him, then he will go to the palace first; If the emperor is gone, he will bow five times and bow three times at the court or outside the noon gate, and the matter will be finished after the salute.

This is followed by a report from the border gate, and if there is one, it will be presented first. "The big one is Xuanlu, and the small one has a playbook, which was announced before the early dynasty did not perform, so Zhang Guowei and Zhao martial arts also."

After that, it entered the most important link of the early dynasty, the "performance" link. According to the custom, every official "coughs in advance" before the work, which is called "cleaning". I guess this is supposed to be to say hello, which means that I am going to go out of class to avoid the embarrassment of two people going out of class at the same time. And once this embarrassment occurs, it is usually guided by the secretary of general administration or the official of Honglu Temple. After greeting each other, the official who was going to perform the work stepped out of the class, knelt down in front of the emperor to perform the work, and returned to the train after speaking. The recital is not spoken, but read aloud. In addition to guiding the officials to perform affairs, the officials of the General Administration Department and Honglu Temple sometimes need to read the recitals on their behalf, and in order to achieve the effect of "beautiful looking", the officials in the yamen who meet the standards of "beautiful appearance" and "big voice" are generally selected.

After the performance was completed, the imperial history and Honglu Temple successively went out to play the official disgrace during the early dynasty.

At this point, the early dynasty process is basically over. The officials of Honglu Temple "sang" after the recital, sounded the whip and drove the joy, and after the holy car retreated, the hundred officials also retreated, and each returned to the yamen to do business.

Therefore, being an official in ancient times was not a simple thing, and getting up in the middle of the night alone made everyone stop, especially in winter, which made modern people even more creepy.

Of course, as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao naturally doesn't have to be like those ministers, he only needs to get up at five o'clock in the middle of the night after the third watch, and then enter Fengtianmen.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, condescended, looking at the hall full of civil and military officials. For a while, he was full of pride, for Zhu Youxiao, he had not even participated in the meeting of the town government in his previous life, but today he was able to participate in the meeting of people equivalent to the level of the State Council in later generations, and he was also a host, which made Zhu Youxiao extremely excited.

It's just that how high you stand, how bad you fall, and after a while, Zhu Youxiao will look helpless.

After all the rituals have been completed, the most important thing in the pilgrimage is about to begin.

"You Aiqing have the right to play, and you have no capital to retreat."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the sun rising high outside, and roughly estimated in his heart that it would be about 10 o'clock now. At this time, Zhu Youxiao can be said to regret dying, originally Queen Zhang Ye prepared a breakfast for him, but Zhu Youxiao was very excited because he participated in the early dynasty for the first time, and he didn't feel hungry at all. It's just that after a complicated ceremony, Zhu Youxiao was forced to be a little exhausted and hungry.

"There is no book, there must be no book". Zhu Youxiao was already silently chattering in his heart, but Zhu Youxiao's chatter was not successful.

"The minister has the original to play".

The voice from the crowd made Zhu You laugh, as if the five thunders were capped, and he instantly lost his strength and sat on the dragon chair.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao just sat down on the dragon chair and lost his shape, so he jumped out of 10 officials, where he loudly accused the emperor of not paying attention to his appearance and losing the majesty of the Son of Heaven. So much so that the officials who just wanted to do something were squeezed down.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao had to stand up and forcibly cheer up.

At the same time, he scolded in his heart, "Who the is telling me that the emperor is above ten thousand people, he can do whatever he wants, Lao Tzu spit on his face."

"And Comrade Zhu, you have nothing to do with setting up a bullshit official, you can't beat it, you can't scold it, you can't scold it."
