Looking at the sun in February, at the beginning of the hour, the palace lamps of the Xuanmur Hall are lit one after another.

Today is the day of the pilgrimage.

Liu Che woke up early. A sixteen-year-old boy can't hold back something in his heart. The first emperor was buried in Yangling on the fourth day of the second month, and it is the first time that Liu Che has held a court meeting since he ascended the throne.

In the Han family system, the court meeting is divided into the regular dynasty and the great court meeting. Chang Dynasty, for five days; The Great Pilgrimage Meeting is held once a year on the first day of the first lunar month. On the first day of the first month of the month and the fifteenth day of the month, there will be a permanent pilgrimage, and only the first day of the first month is the great pilgrimage.

Due to the funeral of the first emperor, the Chang Dynasty on the first day of the second month was not held.

The palace people quickly waited for Liu Che to finish washing, changed into dark clothes, tied a red leather belt around his waist, and tied a large belt on top of the leather belt. To show that in the filial piety period, the large belt is made of coarse linen.

Liu Che slowly walked out of the palace gate and looked at the dark sky. The wind of early spring was blowing in his face, and there was a little less chill in the cold, and Liu Che suddenly felt refreshed. "The burden of the world will be handed over to you." His father's dying plea once again echoed in his ears.

"Father! I won't let you down......" Liu Che looked up at the night sky, his thoughts like a tide.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, let's enter the hall early." A young man walked up the steps of the temple and said to Liu Che, not saluting.

Liu Che looked at the person who came, and a narrow smile appeared on his face, "Han Yan, why did you come so early?" ”

"How did Your Majesty get up so early?" Han Yan asked rhetorically.

"Haha!" The two laughed at the same time, walked into the dormitory side by side, and sat on their knees opposite each other.

"I heard that His Majesty was awake, so I hurried over." Han Yan said with a concerned face.

The palace people served refreshments. Han Yan didn't wait for Liu Che's instructions, took it and ate it, and hurriedly drank half a cup of tea. Liu Che took two sips of tea and picked a piece of dim sum in his hand.

Under the light, Han Yan's eyebrows flowed, and her eyes were as rich as jade.

"The longer you grow, the better you look, the better you look!" Liu Che rolled his eyes at Han Yan.

"The Son of Heaven is not virtuous." Han Yan couldn't help laughing, made a grimace and said, "No matter how good-looking I look, I'm also His Majesty's person!" ”

"Humph! Of course. If you dare to run, see that I do not break your legs. Liu Che puffed out his cheeks and pretended to be serious.

"Haha......" The two looked at each other and laughed.

Han Yan is the great-grandson of Han Wangxin and the grandson of Gong Gaohou Han Rongdang, who was selected by the imperial court a few years ago to accompany the crown prince Liu Che to study. Among the classmates, Liu Che and Han Yan have the best relationship, reading together, playing together, and even eating and sleeping together, and they must never be separated.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, Han Yan was named a doctor and became a close minister of the emperor.

。

At the beginning of Mao, outside the Weiyang Palace, civil and military officials gathered from all directions by car or horseback.

When they arrived at Sima Gate, everyone came down and walked and exchanged pleasantries. Until I walked in front of the East Gate, the palace gate was still closed. Lang Zhong came to count the number of people and check the door registration one by one. The door registration is made of bamboo, about two feet long, and the name and official position of the official are registered, and those who do not have the door registration are not allowed to enter the palace.

After the verification was completed, the officials, under the guidance of the red-clothed confessor, divided the civil and military into shifts, and stood according to their grades.

At this time, the melodious sound of bells and drums sounded on the east gate, and the closed palace gate slowly opened. The officials stopped talking and examined their attire.

After the hundred officials self-inspected their appearance, the confessor sang: "Trend!" ”

The civil and military officials bowed slightly, walked quickly in small steps in order, and entered from the East Gate and came to the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

As the main hall of the Great Dynasty, the scale of the front hall is the largest, 50 zhang from east to west, 15 zhang from north to south, 35 zhang high, and its temple base is built with the soil of Longshou Mountain.

At this moment, Lang Zhong, who was guarding the entrance of the palace, was standing on both sides of the palace steps, with hundreds of people on each step.

The hundred officials stepped on the steps of the hall, walked to the bottom of the cloister, took off their shoes in turn, untied their swords, and stepped into the temple with their socks on. The military attachés such as the princes and generals stood in the west and the east; Civil officials stand in the east and west from the prime minister Wei Juan.

In the palace, there are several imperial historians who are responsible for impeachment according to the regulations, and if they see someone who is not dressed properly or behaves badly, they will write down their names and be fined for one month. Later, if the imperial historian finds that someone does not follow the court's etiquette, he can enforce the law and expel him.

The emperor's steps have not yet arrived, and the hundred officials stand solemnly. In the main hall, there was silence and even the sound of coughing was almost unheard.
