Chapter 8 Sima Men

2. "Woo! ~~Whining! ”

The iron horse opened the way, the flag fluttered, the horse and incense car to send off the relatives walked slowly, the Cao family brothers accompanied each other, the metropolitan governor Xiao Yi personally held the sword to guard, and there were twenty-four military athletes, carrying twelve giant horns, ten steps and a sound, blowing people's hearts trembling, blood boiling!

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the team did not go straight to the palace, but turned a circle in Xuchang City, the streets and alleys, the bustling downtown ......, all the places where there are many people walked through, and at the same time threw silver horns, copper coins, and colored satin to the people on the side of the road, and won bursts of cheers, after three turns, the team adjusted its direction and went all the way to the palace!

After such a toss, all the men, women and children in Xuchang know that the daughter of the Cao family entered the palace as a concubine, and the prime minister Cao Cao has also become the lord of the Han Dynasty.

Sima Gate, is also the main gate of the palace, there are three arched entrances, one main and two pairs, the main gate is five zhang high, the side door is more than four zhang, each is three zhang wide, you can drive three horses side by side, it is more than enough!

The door body is made of giant white marble, which is engraved with the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, the unicorn, the relief of the five divine beasts, the martial power is domineering, vivid, on behalf of the meaning of the divine power of the monarch, according to the Han family system, only three kinds of people can enter the palace from Sima Gate!

The first is the son of heaven of the Han family, when the holy car enters and exits the palace, he must pass through Sima Gate, set up the guard of honor, set up the sun and moon flags, prepare six horses, take the golden root car, and the tiger Ben guards, in order to show the majesty of the supreme in the world!

The second is the princes and kings of the Han family, when they enter Beijing to worship the Son of Heaven, they can enter the palace from Sima Gate, but they must get off the car and walk, and they also walk through the side door, which is already a high honor, and it can't be so if they are not close to the family!

The third is that when the Son of Heaven is married, the queen and the concubine's convoy can enter the palace from Sima Gate, and they can only go once, there is no entry or exit, in addition, no one is allowed to enter the palace from then on, otherwise it is the crime of trespassing, killing without forgiveness, and exterminating the nine clans!

When the Xiangfu convoy arrived, the convoys of the other two families also appeared, the Fu family was the servant - Fu Wan personally sent off his relatives, and the Dong family led the team was also the general of the chariot - Dong Cheng, they are also the identity of the emperor's relatives, a national uncle, politically more credible, can coexist with the Han family, ...... the three convoys stopped in front of Sima Gate, staring at each other, and a fierce competitive atmosphere appeared!

The palace has always been a place of intrigue, in order to compete for favor and upper position, the concubines have all kinds of means, what poisoning, slander, digging pits, framing, beating sticks, stumbling ......, it is almost possible to hold a 'murder without blood' expo, the concubines who can win the battle are all the reincarnation of the 'thousand-year-old fox spirit', and all their battles start from the moment they enter the palace, Sima Men is the starting line, whoever can be one step ahead will have the upper hand!

"The minister-ambush, I am ordered to send the girl into the palace, please open the main door to greet you!"

According to the rules, the queen is qualified to go through the main gate, and other concubines can only enter through the side door, for this reason, Fu Wan is very proud, his nose is almost to the sky, and from time to time he scans the convoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion with the corner of his eye, and the smug look on his face is even stronger!

If Cao Cao came in person, he still had some scruples, but he didn't expect that it was the Cao Pi brothers who sent their relatives, all of whom were stinky hairy children, so naturally they would not be put in the eyes of the ambush, but seeing that Xiao Yi was also in the team, he was still slightly surprised, generally speaking, only flesh and blood relatives are qualified to send relatives, it seems that Cao Cao really did not treat this future son-in-law as an outsider?

"Today, in front of the palace, there is a ghostly face Xiao Lang, what's the matter?" After thinking about it, he put his mind at ease after finishing it, even if Xiao Yi can fight well and be brave, but in front of the royal law, he has to be obedient, he has to be coiled by a dragon, and he has to lie down if he is a tiger, this is the power of the times, and if he is not convinced, he can't do it~~ "Hehe, the carriage and horse enter the palace!" ”

"Huh! ~~ Click! ~Click! ”

The royal horse neighed, the wheels sounded, and the convoy of the Fu family sent off the relatives from the main gate in a big way, and did not forget to look back at it, it was called a proud one, and then the convoy of the Dong Mansion also started, and entered from the side door very well-behaved.

"Soldiers, escort the nobles into the palace, go!"

Fighting with people is endless, Xiao Yi sneered for a while, urged the horse to the front of the team, waved his hand, and led the family convoy to Sima Gate, and it turned out to be the main gate!

"Stop coming, the palace gate is forbidden, no one is allowed to trespass, and there is no forgiveness for violators!" Seeing the convoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion rushing over, the guards immediately raised their halberds and gritted their teeth to block the road, they knew Xiao Yi, and they also knew that this 'God of Killing' was powerful, but their duty was to protect Sima Gate even if their heads were cut off!

Imperial power, a supreme existence, you can seize it, you can also rebel against it, but you must not despise it, Sima Gate is a symbol of imperial power, so the guards must defend it desperately!

"How! ~Howl! ”

The guards were in a row, the halberd was like a forest, Xiao Yi's horse was unabated, leading the convoy to continue to rush, and when he approached, he suddenly took out a gold medal from his arms and held it high~"The gold medal given by the emperor is here, although there is no luan, if I come in person~~ give way!" ”

"Hooray! ~Banzai! Hooray! ”

The guards trembled, ready to die under the hooves of their horses, and when they saw the gold medal, they hurriedly retreated to the side, knelt down and saluted, shouting long live!

The world is big, the father is the biggest, although Liu Xie is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty and the co-master of the world, he can't escape the constraints of the law of human etiquette, Xiao Yi holds the imperial gold medal, he can represent the first emperor, not to mention entering a Sima Gate, even if he runs rampant in the palace, no one dares to stop him!

The gold medal opens the way, there are no taboos, Cao Xian, as a concubine, sat in the carriage of the horse, and entered Sima Gate as a genuine queen, winning a point for the future status of the court!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After entering the Sima Gate, the carriage and horses stopped, the front is high, the majestic palace group, when Liu Bang called the emperor, Prime Minister Xiao He was responsible for building the palace, in order to reflect the authority of the Han family Son of Heaven, shocking people's hearts, deliberately build the palace in a high place, clouds and mist together, surrounded by colorful glow, it is really like the palace in the sky, it is daunting!

Later emperors also continued this line of thought, when building the palace, the first consideration is the terrain, how high can be, how high to choose, straight to the clouds is the best, people are shocked by the huge gap, the heart naturally gives birth to a sense of awe, with this method, the Han family does not know how many foreign envoys, and unruly ministers!

The palace is high, the steps are naturally many, the royal steps are divided into five levels, a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine, take the "Book of Changes", the nine-five hexagram - the meaning of the flying dragon in the sky, all with a large piece of white marble paving, smooth, beautiful, majestic, but also very difficult to climb, every time you go to the court, the civil and military officials will be tired and out of breath, and even the old minister fell into a coma halfway, rolling down the thing!

The problem is here, according to the rules of the royal family, the newcomer enters the palace, before the big ceremony, must 'not look at the sky, do not fall to the ground' to show spotlessness, the above is easy to solve, cover a piece of gold silk red cloth on it, the following can be difficult to do, carry it in is not good, except for the Son of Heaven in the palace, no one is allowed to take the shoulder, the only way for the newcomer to enter the palace is ~~ back in!

According to the rules, when the newcomer enters the palace, he will let his mother's brother carry it on his back and climb 999 steps, which means that his relatives will send him off, and there will also be one person who enters the palace, and the whole family is the glory of the emperor's relatives and relatives!

Don't look at it is to climb a step, there is also fierce competition, on the day of the wedding, the little emperor stood at the gate of the palace, waiting for his bride to appear, the excitement in his heart can be imagined, people have preconceived ideas, who can be the first to appear in front of the emperor, it is easier to be favored, but also to suppress other concubines, add another point to the top of the harem!

The most successful case is the first emperor's Empress He, her brother He Jin was born as a butcher, killed pigs and sheep, practiced a body of tendon meat, extremely powerful, when carrying his sister into the palace, his feet were like flying, and the other teams sent to relatives were far behind, and the first one was sent to Emperor Han Ling, which was a good day for their family to soar!

At this time, the imperial stairs were full of civil and military officials, everyone stretched their necks, their eyes widened, and they wanted to see how the momentum of each team was.

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the newcomer will enter the Qilin Hall and carry out the canonization ceremony!"

"Your Ministers are called!"

The bride is on the back, the steps are at the feet, the wealth is in front of you, the three teams are hostile to each other, the fighting spirit is soaring, and a fierce battle is about to begin!
