In the early morning of the third day

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Tuoba Shenwu was still asleep, and a voice came from his ears, waking him up from his dream, and he opened his eyes and saw Lu Guang by the bed, holding his clothes in his hands.

"What time is it?"

"It's already been handed over. Because His Highness is going to the court today, the nobles are already waiting for His Highness in the side room. ”

Tuoba Shen listened to Lu Guang's words, and only then did he wake up from the residual dream just now, and remembered that yesterday the Taihe Palace sent someone to send a message, telling him that he was going to the Taihua Palace this morning, and then he would go to the southern envoy with the King of Xianyang to practice!

Tuoba Shen lifted the quilt and glanced at the still dark window, thinking that it would be a long time before dawn. took the clothes that had been baked hot by Lu Guang and put them on, and with Lu Guang's help, it took a quarter of an hour to put them on, wash and arrange their hair.

Blowing the cold wind, Lu Guang was lighting the lantern in front, Tuoba Shen followed the side, walked to the side room, and followed the light to see Cao Guiren and Ah He on the side of the stove in the room adjusting the hot morning food on the stove.

Cao Guiren heard the footsteps coming from outside, saw Tuoba Shen walking in, and said with a smile: "Erlang came just in time, try the porridge made by Auntie." ”

"Child, please Auntie. Auntie can sleep peacefully last night? Tuoba cautiously bowed and said.

"Very safe!" Cao Guiren replied with a smile, walked over and pulled Tuoba Shen to the fireside, and said: "Erlang is planning to go to court today, this day is cold, Auntie is afraid that your body will be cold this morning, and you can't stand the cold, so I made some medicinal porridge, you can taste it." ”

Ah He stirred the medicinal porridge with a long wooden spoon and said, "The noble man sent someone to the Imperial Doctor's Office yesterday to ask for some medicinal herbs, and these corns also went to the Imperial Doctor's Office to obtain polished rice. This morning, the nobles got up to make this medicinal porridge, and His Highness should eat more. ”

Smelling the aroma of the medicinal porridge and listening to what Ah He said, Tuoba Shen was also quite moved in his heart, even if he was a biological mother, there were not many people who could do this.

"You talk a lot! Say what you do with these? This is the first time Erlang has gone to the court, how can he not be more dedicated. ”

Together with Cao Guiren in Qingxiao Courtyard, he ate two small bowls of medicinal porridge, until he heard the faint sound of the bell outside, Tuoba Shen put down the bowl and said goodbye, and walked out of Qingxiao Courtyard with Lu Guang.

At this time, the sky has a slight light, but in the cold winter season, except for some palace people who should be on duty, not many people come out, except for looking from afar, the bright light on the Taihua Palace, there are only some duty rooms in the harem, the guards, patrolling the night lanterns and glowing with a faint light. In addition to the sound of the wind, there is only the sound of Tuoba Shen's master and servant walking.

。。。。。。。

Since the Han Dynasty, the early dynasties were all when the sun was outcropping, so the ministers had to gather all at the palace gate half an hour in advance, and only open the palace gate to let the officials in two minutes before the rooster crowed. Later, some dynasties made some changes to this system, this dynasty is in the bitter cold, and now it is winter, of course, it is not good to hold the pilgrimage meeting too early, so it has been postponed for a lot of time, today this is still the Chang Dynasty, not much tired, different from the Chang Dynasty is the New Year's Day of the Asaga, at that time don't want to sleep all night, Chinese New Year's Eve everyone has to wait for the New Year in the palace, to deliver a speech before the last hour, before and after can make a night of trouble!

Tuoba Shen walked to the square in front of the Taihua Palace, and saw that the Taihua Hall was brightly lit. There are two passages down from the pedestal, and on each side of the two passages, two teams of samurai wearing armor and holding halberds, stand in columns. The courtiers who entered the palace today in the square under the base of the front desk of the hall have been divided into the second class of civil and military affairs, lined up left and right, holding the wat plate, waiting for the announcement of entering the hall.

Tuoba Shen instructed Lu Guang to find a place to wait for him first, he didn't know when he would be able to leave the palace, maybe he could come out after a while, maybe he would have to wait for a while, he couldn't let him stay in the cold wind and wait for him to come out!

Looking at the civil and military banchen, Tuoba looked left and right, walked to the front row and looked carefully, and saw the king of Xianyang standing in the martial class, only then did he remember that he also held the official position of the hussar general, which is the official position of the central government, which is higher than the local official position of the Jizhou assassin history, so he will be in the martial class, and then look at the front and back of the king of Xianyang, as well as Wang Gan of Zhaojun, Wang Xiu of Anding, Wang Yong of Gaoyang, Wang Xian of Shiping, Wang Xiang of Beihai and others, they all serve as the general of Zhengzhen.

Tuoba Shen walked to these Uncle Wang's ancestors, and Uncle Wang's elders said hello one by one. Among these uncles, except for King Xianyang, they didn't know why Tuoba Shen appeared here, and in the end, King Xianyang explained it to know the purpose of Tuoba Shen's trip. However, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, it was enough for King Xianyang to do this alone, why should a child also come. It's just that these words are hidden in the stomach, and no one asks them.

"Virtuous nephew, you have no official or title now, so stand behind your uncle!" Beihai Wang Xiang said

"Uncle Xie!"

These uncles are all uncles, so it is naturally the most suitable to stand behind them.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, he heard a proclamation from the palace, and the time for the court had come. The whispering conversation below immediately disappeared.

"Your Majesty ascends to the court, and the ministers enter the palace!"

"Ding! Bite! Bite! Bite! The sound came from the temple base, and it turned out to be the sound of the guard samurai crossing their halberds after hearing the sound of the trumpets.

His Royal Highness's ministers saw that the halberd warriors were ready for the ceremony, looked at the halberd in their hands, and bowed their heads with the wat plate in hand, and a sense of awe of the imperial power appeared in their hearts.

Tuoba Shen followed the uncles such as Xianyang Wang Xi and the others who led the way in front, and behind the uncles, they climbed the palace steps in turn, walked under the crossed halberds, and felt the fierce aura emanating from the weapons above their heads. Even when I knew that these weapons would not really fall, I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in my heart

After walking slowly for a while, he went up to the three-story hall, and Tuoba Shen could feel that his legs were slightly weak, not only the first time he was not used to it, but also the awe of the weapon on his head, his own life and death falling into the hands of others.

The King of Beihai looked back and saw Tuoba Shen's somewhat unnatural appearance, and said with a smile: "The first time the virtuous nephew went to the court, he was a little uncomfortable, and it was the same for his uncle at the beginning, and he got used to it after a few more times in the future." ”

Tuoba Shen didn't expect that the King of the North Sea was still paying attention to his movements, so he had to say yes repeatedly.

Entering the palace, of course, the emperor is not on the throne now, he is the emperor, just like the party congress in later generations, the first leader must always be the last to step on the point.

After all those who could enter the hall had entered, and after waiting for a while, the emperor wore plain clothes, and under the praise and guidance of the proclamation officer and the guide officer, he came out from the left side behind the throne screen, walked up to the throne and sat down.

Naturally, the next thing is that the ministers worship together, and shout "Long live!" three times! ”。
