On the first carriage, there is a black family emblem embedded with the word 'Xiahou' in the seal body, there is a festival in front of the road, and there is the duke flag of the royal gift in the back. A burly old man dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a crown of eight beams on his head, full of beard and majesty, came down from the carriage, and was the prince of the dynasty, Zhongshu Ling, Xiahou lord, and Xiahou Ba, the prince of Zhenguo!

On the second carriage, there is a fiery red family emblem embedded with the word "Pei" in the seal script, and there is also a festival in front of the road, and there is a duke flag given by the emperor in the back. A black-faced old man with a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a seven-beam Jinxian crown, nine feet long, and imposing on the carriage, is the Tai Lieutenant, the Great Sima, the Lord of Pei Valve, and the Duke of Dingguo, Pei Qiu!

On the third carriage, there is a cyan family emblem embedded with the word 'Cui' in the seal body on it, and there is also a festival in front of the road, and there is a duke flag given by the emperor in the back. A white-faced old man in a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a seven-beam Jinxian crown, a thin body, and a clear face came down from the carriage.

On the fourth carriage, there is a white family emblem embedded with the word "Xie" in the seal script, and there is also a festival in front of the road, and there is a duke flag given by the emperor in the back. On the carriage, a short and sturdy old man with a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a seven-beam Jinxian crown, gray hair, and a gloomy expression, is the Taibao, Shangshu Zuo Servant, Xie Valve Master, and Auxiliary Gong Xie Xun!

On the fifth carriage, there is a silver-gray family emblem embedded with the word 'Lu' in the seal body on it, and there is also a festival in front of the road, and there is a duke flag given by the emperor in the back. On the carriage, a purple-robed and jade-belted, wearing a seven-beam Jinxian crown, a tall figure, a serious face, and an old man who could not hide his haggard color, this is the Situ of the court, the servant, the lord of the land valve, and the Duke of Anguo Lu Shang!

On the sixth carriage, there is a blue family emblem embedded with the word 'Wei' written on it, and there is also a festival in front of the road, and there is a duke flag given by the emperor in the back. On the carriage, there was an old man in a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a seven-beam Jinxian crown, short and fat, and smiling.

On the seventh carriage, there is an emerald family emblem embedded with the word "plum" in the seal body of the book, there is a festival in front of the road, but there is no yellow Yue, and there is a duke flag given by the emperor in the back. What got off the carriage was a white-haired old woman in a purple robe and jade belt, wearing a crown of nine feathers and four phoenixes, and holding a crested crutch! This is the only woman among the seven dukes, when the court Sikong, the imperial historian, the lord of the Mei valve, and the duchess of Ningguo, Mei Yi.

The eighth carriage, all black, without any coat of arms, no knots, and no duke's flag. The next white-haired old eunuch is naturally Zuo Yanqing, the former head of the Ouchi who served the Three Emperors and created the Arrest Mansion!

Mei valve is from Guanlong, originally from the Qiang people, although it has been sinicized for a hundred years, it still maintains the custom of being a woman in charge. At that time, Mei Yi Lao Taijun led the Mei family's women's army to join the righteous army of Emperor Gaozu, and made great achievements for him! After the founding of the country, he was named one of the seven dukes, and everyone had no objections.

As for Zuo Yanqing, as a Heavenly Rank Great Grandmaster back then, I don't know how much credit he made for Emperor Gaozu. He had the merit of supporting the Initial Emperor, so the Initial Emperor gave him all the courtesies as a duke, so it was also natural for him to come by car with the seven lords.

In the Qianming Dynasty, Zuo Yanqing did not have this treatment, but at that time, there were also eight people who could enter the palace by car. In addition to the seven dukes, there is also His Royal Highness King Ping, who leads the clan for the emperor. Now that King Ping has usurped the throne and become the emperor, he is afraid that some clans will follow him, so he still serves as the suzerain of the Huangfu clan, and there is no clan that can be ranked with the seven dukes.

At present, these eight are also the eight great giants who really hold the authority of the world in addition to the emperor! When they all got out of the car, all the officials saluted and said respectfully: "Welcome to all grandfathers, welcome to Zuo's husband!" ”

The eight people only nodded slightly, then talked to themselves, crossed the hundred officials, and walked towards the front of the class.

As the undisputed owner of the first gate, Xiahou Ba was naturally surrounded by several lords, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, who also stepped forward to salute at this time, and shouted with admiration on his face: "Grandpa! ”

Xiahou Ba's serious face bloomed with a kind smile, and he nodded to greet the three highnesses.

Only the eldest prince stood still, and Xiahou Ba ignored him, in the eyes of the hundred officials, this highness seemed to be standing alone and hanging from each other.

Lu Shang, the master of the land valve, is also one of the focuses. The old man has been ill for several months, and today he finally showed up, and everyone naturally wanted to send greetings to him. It's just that Lu Shang obviously felt that everyone's gaze at him was a little weird, and he couldn't help but ask strangely: "What, is there something wrong?" ”

A few valve owners snorted and avoided talking about it. Wei Kang, the owner of the guard valve who was good friends with him, couldn't stand it anymore, and thought about his words, wanting to order him about the porridge factory. But it's really hard to talk about this matter, and before Wei Kang could think about what to say, the old eunuch Zuo, who was measuring the shadows, interjected horizontally and said to Lu Shang: "Lord Situ, take a step to speak." ”

Lu Shang nodded, and Zuo Yanqing fell behind. "I wonder what advice my husband has?"

Zuo Yanqing looked at him, and arched his hand without smiling: "Congratulations to Lord Situ, Lu Valve has another ground-level grandmaster." ”

"Oh?" Lu Shang was stunned for a moment and said, "What person, why don't I know?" ”

"That's the one." Zuo Yanqing's gaze fell on Lu Xin, who was not far behind him.

"Lu Xin?" Lu Shang looked at Lu Xin in surprise, but he was not very surprised. After all, Lu Xin is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he was already a Xuan-level powerhouse ten years ago, and ten years have passed, and it is not uncommon for him to be promoted to the ground level. He wondered why Zuo Yanqing would know. "Where does my husband know?"

"Hehe......" Zuo Yanqing smiled but did not answer. Of course, he knew it from the Detective Office. A few days ago, Lin Chao ordered someone to check which land valve master was out of the city during that time. It turned out that the eight great masters of Lu Valve were all staying in Luobei at that time, and only Lu Xin's father and son went out of the city.

Lu Xin's son is only sixteen years old, and even if he practices martial arts from his mother's womb, it is impossible to reach the ground level. Therefore, the Lu Valve Grandmaster who killed people in Funiu Mountain was naturally detained by the Detective Office on Lu Xin's head.

However, the old eunuch Zuo did not intend to tell the other party in detail, that would not be in line with the purpose of the Governor's Office. And who is Lu Shang? Click on him himself, and he will be able to find out by himself. So he looked at Xiahou Ba in front of him, and replied to the question: "What Situ should care about is not to let Xiahou Valve snatch his child away." ”

"Hehe......" Lu Shang knew that this old dog was not at ease at all. Ben Yun smiled lightly: "Thank you for your concern, the blood of the landing valve in his body can't be taken away." ”

"That's my mouth." The old eunuch smiled apologetically.

"Where, thank you husband for your concern." Lu Shang shook his head and said perfunctorily.

At this time, the melodious and majestic bells and drums sounded on the Yingtian Gate, and the closed palace gate was slowly pushed open by Si Yan, and two teams of gold-armored guards came out of the public and lined up majestically on both sides of the palace gate!

Several giants also stopped talking, and walked to the front of the class to stand. After the hundred officials self-examined the official appearance, the officials of Honglu Temple sang 'Tend!' ’

The hundred officials bowed slightly, walked forward in a neat and orderly manner, and entered the Ziwei Palace from Yingtianmen. Although Xiahou Ba was specially given by the emperor to enter the court, he would not be a maverick at this time and did not exercise his privileges. Instead, together with the hundred officials, he crossed the Jinshui Bridge, entered the Jianyuan Gate, and arranged in shifts on the square in front of the Jianyuan Palace.

Jianyuan Hall is the first of the first three halls of Ziwei Palace, formerly known as Qianyuan Palace, which is the place where the Great Dynasty is held. After the initial emperor ascended the throne, in order to avoid the era name of the Qianming Emperor, he changed his name to Jianyuan Palace.

At this time, in front of the Jianyuan Palace, there are already displayed chariot cavalry guards and various flags and rituals, and on both sides of the royal road with dragon patterns, there are two long carpets, and the hundred officials stand on the carpets.

The solemn and grand Jianyuan Palace, on top of the layers of Danqi, there are hundreds of eunuchs holding various Luo umbrellas, square fans, and banners, guarding the three-foot golden platform in the most central place. Behind the golden platform, there is a yellow imperial hoof, which is the emperor's throne.

At this time, the music class played Shao music, and in the sound of bells and drums, the initial emperor was surrounded by the inner servants to ride the court. The salute officer then dragged out his voice and said, "Welcome! ”

Hundreds of officials from the duke down knelt down on the carpet and bowed to the emperor. "Welcome to my emperor, long life without borders!"

In the greeting of hundreds of officials, the emperor ascended to the throne in Jintai. The Initial Emperor knelt down on the golden mattress, and did not call out immediately, but his gaze slowly swept over the hundred officials who were kneeling on the ground, and finally landed on the back of the Seven Great Dukes. Only at this time can he feel his dignity as an emperor, so every time the Great Dynasty, the Initial Emperor will be so greedy to appreciate it, and then slowly say: "Calm down." ”

"Emperor Xie." Only then did the hundred officials straighten up and sit on the carpet in turn. The monarch and the minister sat down and discussed, this is the weekly ceremony. But in the past, the emperor and the ministers were on an equal footing. Until the Qian, in order to highlight his honor, the emperor would sit on a low couch to show superiority. When he arrived in this dynasty, it became more and more intense, and the emperor simply sat on the Danqi and overlooked the ministers.
