Qu Shiyun put on a brand-new official uniform, took an ivory wat board, stood up and looked at the bronze mirror at the door, there was nothing wrong, turned to Shao Shi and said, "Madame, let's go home, the old man has gone to court!" ”

There are a total of four sets of clothes for officials in the Ming Dynasty, which were prescribed by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, one is the court dress, which is worn at national celebrations such as the emperor's enthronement and the emperor's wedding, and the other is the sacrificial dress, as the name suggests, is the clothes worn during worship. These two types of clothes are not worn for a long time, and they cannot be worn several times a year. There are two main types of clothes worn by officials in the Ming Dynasty, one is the official uniform, which is characterized by a long-winged black gauze hat, and the second is the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty in later TV dramas, which is characterized by a short-winged black gauze hat, and there are beasts on the clothes.

There is no complement on the official uniform, but the official position is distinguished according to the color of the clothes and the jade belt and wat board, and the level of the belt is the first grade jade, the second grade flower rhino, the third grade honeysuckle, the fourth grade plain gold, the fifth grade silver and the flower flower, the sixth and seventh grade plain silver, and the eighth and ninth grade black horn. The color of the clothes is red robes from the first to fourth grades, the green robes from the fifth to the seventh grades, and the green robes from the eighth to the ninth grades. For miscellaneous officials who have not entered the stream, the robe, wat and belt are the same as those below the eighth grade. The official uniform is embroidered with patterns, the first product is a large single flower, the second is a small single flower, the third is a scattered flower without branches and leaves, the fourth and fifth are small miscellaneous patterns, the sixth and seventh are small miscellaneous flowers, and the eighth is below no pattern.

Qu Shiyun is a member of the cabinet after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and unlike those old guys who were old members of the cabinet before the founding of the People's Republic of China, they can only wear a red flower uniform, a jade belt, and an ivory wat board. And Ma Mingyuan and other old cadres before the founding of the People's Republic of China all have a big red python robe given by the emperor, and they are not ordinary and majestic to wear.

After Qu Shiyun and his wife Shao Shi said goodbye, he went out of the house and sat on his eight-lift green sedan chair, nodded his heels, and the sedan chair man knew that the master was seated, so he got up and carried Qu Shiyun to the noon gate.

The early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was very hard, and the officials of the previous dynasty had to get up at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night to prepare, and if the family lived far away, they would get up in the first half of the night to prepare. However, as a pavilion elder, Qu Shiyun's home is outside Xizhi Gate, not far from the Noon Gate. But in this way, Qu Shiyun also had to get up at one o'clock and go out at two o'clock, so that he could reach the noon gate before sunrise.

Qu Shiyun sat in a sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, the Ming Dynasty stipulated that lower-level officials should avoid seeing higher-level officials, but except for Ma Mingyuan, there is no higher-level official than Qu Shiyun, so Qu Shiyun is not disturbed, you can fake sleep.

Qu Shiyun closed his eyes and suddenly felt the sedan chair stop, and Qu Shiyun asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”

A family member on the side hurriedly said: "Master, I met Tong Ge's old sedan chair earlier, what should I do?" ”

Of the seven cabinet elders, only Ma Mingyuan is the prime minister, and the others are all deputies, all of which are the same according to their official positions. But the Chinese have to talk about seniority in everything, so Tong Yangjia, who ranks second, is called the second assistant, and Qu Shiyun ranks seventh and is the last in the cabinet.

Qu Shiyun heard that it was Tong Yangjia, and said to the family: "Let Tong Ge go over first!" Qu Shiyun thought that if he wanted to impeach Ma Mingyuan today, there was no need to offend Ma Mingyuan's sworn enemy Tong Yangjia.

Jiading went over to give the order, and after a while, Jiading came back and said, "Master, Tong Ge said thank you, master!" ”

Qu Shiyun nodded without speaking, and the sedan chair continued to walk through the city of Beijing.

Although it is the middle of the night, it is not quiet in the capital, it is located on the periphery of the imperial city, and there are many night patrol inspectors, brocade guards, and those officials who rushed over in order to go to the court.

In addition to the sedan chair man, there were six guards in front of Qu Shiyun, playing the sign of "Silence and Avoidance", and at the same time, two soldiers were beating the gong, shouting as they walked: "Big and small civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc., all dodge!" "Those soldiers and brocade guards who patrol the night, as well as officials who are in a hurry, as long as they are lower than Qu Shiyun's official rank, must hide in the alley, and then the civil officials get out of the sedan chair and the military attache dismount, kneeling on both sides and saluting.

Qu Shiyun came to Chengtianmen here in a sedan chair, and he couldn't sit in a sedan chair here, except for the officials who had the emperor's imperial gifts, others could only walk. The shoulder chariot looks very simple, but when others walk on their legs, and you can sit on the shoulder chariot above others, that kind of mental satisfaction cannot be brought by anything, but only Ma Mingyuan has this honor in the Manchu Dynasty.

Outside the Chengtian Gate are the offices of the ministries and the cabinet, but it is not yet dawn, and all the rooms are empty except for some people on duty. The sedan chair drivers and family members brought by various officials were arranged outside the thousand-step corridor according to the grade of the master. My lord could only get out of the sedan chair and move forward on his own.

Qu Shiyun lived relatively far away among the cabinet members, and except for Tong Yangjia, who lived in Xicheng, everyone else lived in Dongcheng, so they came earlier than Qu Shiyun.

The cabinet members stood outside the Chengtian Gate according to their ranks, the first was the prime minister, and the first assistant was Ma Mingyuan. The second place is the second assistant Tong Yangjia, the third is Fu Wenlong, the fourth is Wang Yunchang, the fifth is Feng Ziyong, the sixth is Li Zhi, and the seventh is Qu Shiyun.

These seven people should be ranked third according to their qualifications, but who called Feng Ziyong was squeezed out of the cabinet by Ma Mingyuan back then, and went to the local governor for a few years, and when he re-entered the cabinet, Fu Wenlong and Wang Yunchang were already in front of him, and there was no way Feng Ziyong could only settle for fifth. However, only Ma Mingyuan, Tong Yangjia, and Feng Ziyong were wearing the emperor's imperial python robe, after all, Feng Ziyong was an old cadre before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this treatment was still there, which was a little bit of face for Feng Ziyong.

Qu Shiyun came the latest, he came to the elders and arched his hand, Ma Mingyuan sat there and pretended to sleep, and he didn't know if he saw it, anyway, he was pretending to be forced there with his eyes closed. On the contrary, it was Tong Yangjia, seeing that Qu Shiyun hurriedly got up and returned the salute, after all, Qu Shiyun asked him to take a step just now, and several other pavilion elders also got up and returned the salute expressionlessly, and nodded at Qu Shiyun as a greeting.

The seven members of the cabinet are all old men, and the youngest Ma Mingyuan is already in his fifties, and Emperor Zhu Hongsan is afraid that it will not be good to die a few more after such a toss, so the special palace supervisor prepared folding stools for these seven old guys, which can be regarded as sympathetic to the old ministers.

Qu Shiyun sat down on his stool, and at this time the sky was already slightly bright, and all the civil and military officials who came to the court had already arrived. Zhu Hongsan stipulated that all officials in Beijing, regardless of the size of their official positions, should be subject to the obligation of the court, and all officials from other provinces who came to Beijing to report on their work must also go to the court. In addition, Zhu Hongsan has occupied the whole country for four or five years, and most of the officials at all levels have been prepared, so there are seven or eight hundred people who have come to the court today, which is very spectacular.

At this time, the bell and drum tower on the noon gate sounded the bell and drum, the time of the upper dynasty came, the left and right doors of the Chengtian Gate were opened, the civil and military officials stood according to their official positions, the civil officials were on the left and the military attaches were on the right, and they entered the imperial city through the left and right doors in turn.

Today's weather is very good, and the location of the last dynasty was changed to Fengtianmen, which is the Taihe Gate of later generations. After the civil and military officials entered the noon gate, they should first stand in line according to their grades in the south of Jinshui Bridge, wait for the whip to be sounded, and cross the bridge in order. Until before His Majesty Fengtianmen, at this time, the civil officials were on the left and the military attaches were on the right, and the two teams stood opposite each other, standing on both sides of the imperial road, waiting for the emperor to arrive. The emperor's seat is located in the middle of the Mukden Corridor, which is called the Golden Terrace. Wait for the music to start, the emperor sits at the royal gate, and then sound the whip at this time, Honglu Temple sings "into the class" left and right two classes into the royal road, and performs a bow and three kowtow etiquette. After that, it was time for the recital.

Today, Zhu Hongsan did not come out by himself, but sat on the shoulders of four eunuchs. It's very simple, Zhu Hongsan was sick by his own son.

Zhu Hongsan likes to eat spicy hot pot, and likes to eat animal offal the most, so he has the disease of wealth and gout. In the past, when I was in Guangdong, because the climate in Guangdong was humid and hot, I sweated a lot, and the gout was not serious, but it was over when I got to the north. The north is cold and dry, and Zhu Hongsan doesn't like to exercise, and he is wide and fat, so this gout is getting more and more serious.

A few days ago, because of the matter of the crown prince Zhu Hai, Zhu Hongsan was in a hurry, and now the gout hit, and his feet couldn't walk that night.

After a few days of cultivation, it is almost over, so today Zhu Hongsan can get up and go to court.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor and sitting on the golden platform, the ceremonial officer shouted again: "The civil and military officials have something to report, and they have nothing to do to retreat!" ”

Zhu Hongsan's early dynasty was different from the previous early dynasty stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the early dynasty stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with specific affairs, so the early dynasty occupied an important position among the three dynasties.

But Zhu Hongsan is different, Zhu Hongsan hates this kind of hodgepodge of getting up early in the morning and standing together with hundreds of people. Those high-ranking officials are just that, and those six- and seven-grade petty officials know what major national affairs? What good advice can they have for the government? Therefore, Zhu Hongsan stipulated that the most important of the three dynasties was the Wu Dynasty, that is, the small court meeting where the emperor and senior officials met after the early dynasty, and that was the moment to discuss national affairs, and this kind of great court meeting completely transformed into a ritual.

According to the tacit understanding between the emperor and the cabinet, this kind of great court meeting is just to say some good things, such as a good grain harvest in that place, a pregnant woman giving birth to multiple births, etc., and this kind of positive energy is what should be known more to those low-level officials, not those negative energies such as floods, locusts, and military plagues.

Ma Mingyuan, as the first assistant of the cabinet, was the first to speak on this occasion, he coughed, stood up from the class, came to the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this year's spring tax has been collected, and a total of 65.13 million silver dollars have been collected in the three capitals and nineteen provinces across the country, and the tax has now been released to the capital!" ”

Zhu Hongsan already knew about this matter a few days ago, and he said it today just for those low-level officials to hear, see it, Lao Tzu has money, and it is not good to work for Lao Tzu!

Zhu Hongsan nodded lightly and said, "Good! How is the New Deal in the South? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the new policy has been steadily rolled out in the southern provinces, and all the gentry have actively responded to the call of the state and have cooperated with the land inventory, and some squires with conservative ideas have realized their mistakes after education, and have reformed themselves and cooperated with the local government to check the land!"
