Visiting the emperor is not a trivial matter, and the parties need to make various preparations, and there must be special officials to conduct etiquette training, so as not to lose the etiquette of the officials. The eunuchs who lead and the officials who teach etiquette can also mix some benefits from it, which is called rules. Of course, there are also officials who are dead or really poor who do not give the rules, and the result is that the emperor loses his manners, leaving a bad impression on the emperor, or is directly punished.

But Guo Xing'a was a little sad, he wanted to give the rules money, but no one took it. After Su Shun informed him of the emperor's summoning time last night, another little eunuch came to summon him, but no one cared about him after that. Guo Xing'a could only go to the recital office of the summer resort and report, and then began to wait stupidly, he didn't know that he needed to do etiquette training, and no one remembered to tell him the etiquette of the face king.

There is a small misunderstanding here, the average person sees the emperor for the first time, the grade is not too high, and it is usually not a big deal, so there will be plenty of time. The general administration department and the steward eunuch will transfer the resume of the official in advance, and then send someone to teach etiquette, and by the way, collect the money according to the rules. But Xianfeng summoned Guo Xing'a, and the announcement was very urgent, leaving too little time for the people below, and these people were not prepared. Su Shun, Pi Runmin and others all felt that there were naturally eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Rites, but they did not specifically mention Guoxing.

After Guo Xing'a arrived at the recital office, the ordinary eunuchs and Zhang Jing of the Ministry of Rites were dizzy when they looked at his red head, where did they think that there would be a first-class official who did not know the etiquette of the audience. Some people know that Guo Xing'a has just been promoted, and they also know that Guo Xing'a was a hereditary three-rank leader before. After the hereditary assistant leader took over the position, he also wanted to enter Beijing to thank him, and it stands to reason that he should also understand etiquette. Coincidentally, Guo Xing'a is a coincidental master, and his official position is basically sealed in the line of fire, and he has never thanked him at all, so he has become the only one in the Qing Dynasty who has never seen the emperor.

Guo Xing's clothes were also a little embarrassing, this dress was not his, it was given to him by Yixin when he left Beijing. In the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, this official uniform needs to be purchased by the officials themselves, even if it is the flower feather, yellow coat and other things rewarded by the emperor. The emperor only gives you the qualifications to use it, and if you want to wear it, you have to pay for it yourself. The materials used in the official uniforms are relatively expensive, and the official uniforms of the nine grades are expensive, not to mention the first-grade official uniforms of Guoxing'a. Many Beijing officials of the Leng Yamen have been officials for a lifetime, and their official uniforms have been borrowed for a lifetime, and they have no chance to get their own official uniforms at all. The famous Zeng Guofan has two sets of official uniforms in Beijing, which he regards as a legacy. He also deliberately left a letter, and after he became an ancient, he asked the five brothers to draw lots to divide these two clothes.

Guo Xing's family really has ancestral official uniforms, but Guo Xing'a, who had just crossed over, didn't understand, so he cremated the official clothes and his cheap father Hui Yang together. Saishana and others thought that he was filial and didn't stop him, so when Guo Xing'a needed to wear an official uniform to contact people, he was embarrassed. Xianfeng rewarded the Gu'an Army with a decree N many official positions, but there was nowhere to buy clothes and hats. This thing is the monopoly sales of the Xianfeng family's manufacturing office, and it is a sin for others to dare to make it privately. The demand of hundreds of people in the Gu'an Army is naturally not satisfied by the lack of inventory in the manufacturing office. It was still Yixin who came out to save the emergency, and the others all did the top emergency first, and the official uniform will be talked about later. Yi Xin got a set of official clothes at home, and changed them for Guo Xing'a to use first, although they didn't fit, and Guo Xing'a didn't continue to wear those strange clothes on official occasions.

The so-called tailor-made, this borrowed clothes, inevitably do not fit. Although Guo Xing'a is young, his figure is taller than Yixin, so this dress is shorter. And like many fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, Guo Xing'a is very thin, and the already fat official uniform is even more fat when he wears it. Guo Xing'a put on this official uniform, how uncomfortable it was, the hem was not up to the ankle, and there was still air leaking everywhere, as if he had a big pocket on his body.

"Lord Guoxing, it's time for you to wait and see the driver!" A little eunuch came to Guo Xing'a, bowed to a thousand knees, and invited Guo Xing'a to do activities.

"Oh, okay, there's Grandpa Lao!" Guoxinga's quality is absolutely passable, and he is polite to everyone, so he gets up and prepares to leave.

"Your Excellency!" The little eunuch didn't move, and called Guo Xing'a again.

"Oh! Negligence! Guo Xing'a smiled indifferently, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the little eunuch.

"Thank you, sir! The slave should die, how dare the slave ask for your reward, you ...... clothes" The little eunuch took Guo Xing'a's silver, but still didn't move, and pointed to Guo Xing'a's clothes.

"Forgot!" Guo Xinga patted his forehead and laughed. His official uniform leaked on all sides, so he kept wrapping his tweed coat outside, and after wearing it for a long time, he forgot that he could not wear it to the emperor. That is, Guo Xing'a brought a large number of guards with him, as well as a dazzling red top, otherwise with his chaotic dress, the guards of the summer resort would not have given him a chance to get close to the villa.

Guo Xing'a took off his coat and handed it to Fuquan, who followed, and then followed the little eunuch into the inner court alone. There was a cold wind along the way, and the little eunuch was so frozen that he shrunk his head and brain, just like wearing a pocket, and his face turned blue from the cold. Guo Xing Ah thought that it would be good to walk a short distance and see Xianfeng when he entered the house, but he thought that this little eunuch would be able to walk three or four miles with Guo Xing Ah in his head, and finally went around to the door of the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace. Guo Xing'a, who was so cold that he couldn't stand it, almost broke into the temple, but was stopped by the little eunuch and only asked him to wait under the steps outside the hall.

It is also that Guo Xing'a does not understand the rules, and generally when the foreign ministers enter the meeting, they will first be registered by the external performance office, and then arranged by the internal performance office when to meet them. The emperor is not a neighbor's second boy, so he is naturally very busy, and he has to meet many people a day. So just like the emperor looking for a woman to turn over the brand, this minister also wants to turn over the brand, but it is a green head. The emperor was busy first, and when he wanted to see the official, the emperor drew a green lot, and the eunuch of the internal affairs office called the official to come to the door of the warm pavilion, lifted the curtain to let the official in, and the eunuch retreated outside the palace.

Since it is a distribution summons, everyone has to line up, the inside chats first, and the outside has to wait. Guo Xing'a is at the back of the queue like this, so he has to wait for the buddies in front to finish talking. However, waiting for the emperor, the rules are bigger, and naturally you can't wait while drinking tea at the concert office, so you have to wait not far away. Everyone is this rule, but Guoxing's unfortunate thing is that the weather is not good today, it is too cold.

"Xianfeng, your uncle, you kid has a kind, you wait for Lao Tzu!" Guo Xing'a was constantly swaying in the cold wind, of course, when he went to the tooth hall and laid down the tooth hall, he also scolded Xianfeng.

In fact, Guo Xing'a really wronged Xianfeng, the normal summoning time should be after breakfast, that is, at six or seven o'clock in the morning, if it is at that time, it will be colder than now. Xianfeng was deliberately sympathetic to Guoxing's saddle horse, so he arranged the summoning time in the afternoon, wanting Guoxing'a to rest and rest. Everywhere he went, he was a warm Xianfeng, of course, he didn't expect Guoxing'a to be so miserable, he didn't even have a warm clothes, so Xianfeng, who wouldn't be cold at all, naturally didn't consider whether Fan Guoxing'a would be cold, which was a very important question for Guoxing'a.

There are a large number of guards and eunuchs around, and Guo Xing'a can't do a lot of activities, so he can only keep stomping his feet and snorting his hands to keep warm. However, in the eyes of these guards and eunuchs, Guo Xing'a was still very excessive. Although he hasn't seen the emperor yet, this is also a deep palace, Guo Xing'a is stamping his feet and rubbing his hands, which is too disrespectful, as a minister, he can't move even if he freezes to death. Guoxing's behavior not only loses the prestige of the ministers, but also disrespects Xianfeng. If it weren't for the fact that Guoxing's red top was a little dazzling, there must have been capable people who wanted to invite merit in front of the emperor and came out to reprimand him.

"Lord Guoxing, the emperor has announced that you are here!" When Guo Xing'a felt that he was almost frozen to death, a little eunuch finally came over and pulled him. The little eunuch would not have been so rude, he had already called Guo Xing'a softly a few times, and Guo Xing'a was like frozen, and he didn't react at all. In desperation, he could only step forward and pull Guo Xing'a twice.

"Oh! There is Grandpa Lao! Guo Xing'a was so cold that he began to have a headache, and as soon as he heard that he could go in, he immediately rushed into the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall like a gust of wind.

The normal process of the audience should be that the eunuch lifts the curtain of the door, and then the summoned official enters the door, stands and says, "The minister (someone) respectfully invites the emperor to the Holy Ann." Then he knelt down, stood up, walked a few steps to the emperor, and knelt on a felt mat with a thick red edge and a white heart. Guoxing Ah didn't understand these rules, and he was almost demented from the cold, and he couldn't care about these anymore. As soon as he lifted the curtain of the door, he rushed in.

"Ten thousand dead slave Guo Xing, ask the master for the sin!" Guo Xing'a suddenly opened the curtain and came in, making all the eunuchs a little overwhelmed, and as soon as the lines that Pi Runmin and others made up for him last night came out, even Xianfeng and Su Shun, Du Han and others in the hall were stunned. Guoxing's hard work and achievements for the Qing Dynasty are all self-proclaimed ministers of ten thousand death crimes, and others should be counted. Xianfeng was also moved, Shengbao didn't dare to ask for credit for his waste, Guoxing made a great contribution, but he wanted to blame himself and ask for his guilt.

Guoxing's saluting action is not kneeling, standing, forward, and kneeling again, so complicated, after entering the door, it is directly to sweep the cuffs, shake the sleeves, and then throw a five-body bow to the ground. Guoxing's ceremonial actions, except for the last five-body throwing ceremony, there are no major mistakes, and everyone is basically like this. However, the range of movements of the close ministers of the Qing court is very small, and they usually do not use much force, and they are all slow-motion Taijiquan. And Guoxinga's set is all learned from Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas, the movements are very fast, and the strength is very strong, like the opening of Luohan Boxing. When the sleeves were flicked, the sound of the wind "snapping" sounded, and Xianfeng was thrilled to hear it. Guo Xing'a had just been warming up his cuffs outside again, and the weather was cold and there was already a layer of hoarfrost on the cuffs, and now he shook it like this, and raised a layer of white mist in front of him. Xianfeng didn't have any concept of saluting movements, he seemed to see a martial arts master punching and kicking in front of him.

"Old Five, what are you doing, don't lose your honor in front of the emperor!" Guo Xing's appearance was too sudden, and Su Shun was stunned for a while before coming over to reprimand him. At the same time, Su Shun also regretted it in his heart, he confessed everything last night, that is, he forgot the etiquette of the audience. Goxinga is now obviously ignorant of etiquette and has begun to play freely.

"Yun Xian, flat body! Flat! Lift him up! Xianfeng didn't feel that Guoxing Ah was out of order, but felt that Guo Xing's saluting movements were very imposing, and there was a feeling that he had finally seen a little vitality in this lifeless world. If you don't consider the prestige of the minister, Guoxing's crackling way of saluting must be better than that of ordinary ministers. Xianfeng saw that Guo Xing'a was lying on the ground and not moving, his shoulders were still shaking, and Xianfeng hurriedly ordered someone to help Guo Xing'a up.

"Ahh The two little eunuchs went to support Guo Xing'a, and as soon as Guo Xing'a's head was raised, everyone screamed in surprise.

I saw that Guo Xing'a's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his face wrapped in gauze was full of tears, looking heartbroken.

"Yun Xian has worked hard, the peace has been decided, and I can still plan for the future!" When Xianfeng saw Guo Xing'a's appearance, he took it for granted that he blamed himself for the Gyeonggi War, so he cried bitterly in front of him.

"Uh...... Hiss...... Ah......" Guo Xing'a didn't cry from beginning to end, and was half-helped up by the two eunuchs, just kneeling on the ground and convincing.

"Loyal ministers!" Faced with Guo Xing's performance, Xianfeng was so moved that he was about to cry.

Guo Xing'a couldn't stop for a while. When he first entered the hall, his body was a little stiff after freezing for too long, and when he just knelt, not only did he not control it and directly turned into a five-body throwing ceremony, but he also hit his nose on the floor tiles. It was already cold and weak, and the nose was sore, and the tears and snot couldn't stop anything. He himself felt that crying like this was a bit too much, but the more he tried to control the sobbing, the worse he became. simply knelt on the ground and didn't move, like a deep resentful woman, she couldn't stop sobbing.

"Yun Xian doesn't cry! Yun Xian doesn't cry! Xianfeng looked at Guo Xing'a and sobbed, the more he looked at it, the more worried he became, he himself also had guilt for his subjects in the world, as well as various regrets for the war. In the end, regardless of his leg disease, he walked down directly from the dragon chair and walked in front of Guo Xing'a in person to comfort Guo Xing'a.

"Ahh Long live the master! It's cold! "Guo Xing'a can't accept it now if he wants to, Xianfeng is like this, but he can't finish the play, he has to cry. simply hugged Xianfeng's dragon legs, cried loudly, and wiped his tears and snot on Xianfeng's dragon robe.
