Chapter 10: Liang Palace
When Pang Zhong saw this, he also smiled, and then said, "That Guogong, I don't know if I can agree?" β
Huang Desheng didn't speak, just paced back and forth in the middle of the room, brushing his beard with his own hand from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.
The house suddenly became very quiet, setting off the dull afterglow outside the window and the quiet courtyard.
Pang Zhong and Jin Ren knew that this was an extremely critical moment, and once Huang Desheng agreed, it could be said that the matter was done; If Huang Desheng doesn't agree to this matter, don't say it, even the lives of a few of them have to be lost in this Jinling Mansion, and the Jin Kingdom will also face unprecedented danger.
Finally, after a long time, I saw this Huang Desheng slowly sitting on this chair, and asked faintly: "If I help you to enter the country, I will bear the infamy of this traitor, then what good will I do?" β
As soon as Pang Zhong heard this, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, so he smiled and said: "If Guogong helps me, then Guogong will benefit in addition to his own benefits and family benefits, I can also promise to Guogong on behalf of the Jin State that this Huang family will become the noble guests of our country, and the emperor of our dynasty will let all merchants in the Jin Kingdom take the Huang family as a priority to cooperate, if you can't cooperate with the Huang family, then consider other businesses, I don't know Guogong, such interests, you are satisfied?" β
When Huang Desheng heard this, he burst into laughter again, and said while laughing: "The old man has been fighting horses for half his life, and in the end he has become this traitor, that's it, it's all." At the end, he sighed and sighed.
As soon as Huang Desheng's voice fell, he said to this Pang Zhong: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Holy Lord in person, presumably the Holy Lord is also thinking the same......
Jin Ren immediately chimed in: "Tomorrow, I will also accompany your lord to meet the Holy Lord and explain this matter to him." β
Pang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he hugged his fists and said to this Huang Desheng: "Then there is Lao Guogong, I will wait for the good news of Guogong." β
Huang Desheng didn't say a word, staring at the high candle flame faintly, the warmth emitted by the candle flame was very cold at this time, for some reason, Huang Desheng couldn't help but shiver......
---------
On the first day, early in the morning, this Huang Desheng took Jin Ren together, took two sedan chairs, and under the protection of more than a dozen guards, he went straight to the gate of this palace.
Lifting the sedan chair and looking at the tall palace gate, Jin Ren's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited, three years ago, he was ordered by Mr. to sneak into the Liang Kingdom to come to the Jinling Mansion Palace as an official, three years later, or because of Mr., he will return to this palace again, thinking that fate is really a wonderful thing.
Thinking about it, looking around, looking at this tall and majestic palace, it is really very magnificent. The thick palace wall, which is about ten meters high, has been a wind and rain that has lasted for decades.
The palace of Liang is divided into three building complexes, the outer palace, the middle dynasty and the inner court, the area where Huang Desheng and Jin Ren are located at this time is the gate of the outer palace, the gate of the outer palace can also have a unique name, it is not called "palace gate", but called "Sima Gate". Strange to say, there are four gates in this outer palace, in addition to the main gate called "Sima Gate", the other three doors have a unified and simple name is "Palace Gate".
Passing through this "Sima Gate" and walking along the long outer palace alley, you will come to this huge outer palace complex. The distribution of the outer palace buildings is one after another, and the seats are full of a sense of heaviness. The most important of these is the "Yuanxi Palace", this Yuanxi Hall is different from other halls, it is specially given to those ministers of the court for temporary rest, the ministers of the court, must wait for the emperor to change clothes in this Yuanxi Palace, led by the palace officials and then enter the court. In this Yuanxi Palace, the general ministers will check their decorations and manners to see if there is anything wrong, and here the general ministers will also be divided into two factions, civil and military, each side of the side, so that it seems that the order of the entire early dynasty is very orderly, and it does not appear to be panicked and troublesome.
In addition, there is also the Imperial Forest Army guarding here, and the Imperial Forest Army of this Liang State has a general, two generals, and all the captains under its banner. This Imperial Forest Army is divided into an internal army and an outer army, and this internal army is now stationed in the outer palace, with a total of 3,000 people, whose duty is to protect the safety of the emperor and palace concubines at all times; The foreign army is the army stationed outside the palace to garrison the entire Jinling Mansion, the number of this foreign army is far more than the internal army, but the treatment is not better than the internal army.
The Chinese and North Korean buildings are in this outer palace, which is the political heart of the entire Great Liang State, with the Taiping Palace, the Jinluan Palace, and the Internal Affairs Department as the center. At the back of the Taiping Palace, it is the place where the emperor sorted out his manners and clothes when he came out of the early dynasty; The Jinluan Palace is the court hall where the ministers and the emperor discuss government affairs together, and the Department of Internal Affairs is the place where the senior officials of the three provinces and six ministries discuss together. Of course, there are hundreds of large and small palaces in the whole China and the DPRK, most of which are mainly wooden structures, with yellow glazed tile roofs, blue and white stone bases, and then with splendid atmospheric murals, countless treasures and strange stones, and exotic agate.
The inner court is the place where the emperor and the palace concubines live, which is the so-called harem place. Qianqing Palace, Yong'an Palace, Yangxin Palace and other palaces are among them, and there is the largest back garden of the whole beam.
The Liang State is controlled by the scholars, especially the Lin and Huang families, so the territory of the Liang Emperor is this majestic palace.
At this time, on the huge square in front of the Sima Gate, the sedan chairs of these officials were all parked here in turn according to the size of the official rank, and there were private guards wearing weapons next to each sedan chair.
Liang attaches great importance to the personal safety of officials, and apart from strictly prohibiting the private recruitment of soldiers, other issues are very open. This is mainly due to the fact that officials were not allowed to carry guards at that time, but after an incident in which an official was assassinated in public by an assassin in public, Emperor Liang issued a decree to relax the rules and allow officials to carry guards to protect their personal safety.
Since then, before the officials enter this Sima Gate, each sedan chair is guarded by guards, so it has also caused a peculiar scenery in Liang State, there are all kinds of different guards next to more than 100 sedan chairs in this large square are vigilantly guarding their masters, very orderly.
Huang Desheng is the prince of the dynasty, of course, he is the best in front of the sedan chairs, and Huang Desheng's sedan chair is juxtaposed with a sedan chair, and Huang Desheng's sedan chair seems to be very heroic different, the sedan chair is very ordinary, the appearance is simple and simple, and it is not much different from the sedan chair of ordinary people. Jin Ren looked at it and thought that this must be the sedan chair of Lin Changhai, the prince of Chengguo.
These two sedan chairs divided the other civil and military officials in this square into two groups, this group was arranged after Huang Desheng, and the other group was after Lin Changhai. Jin Ren is just a small county order, if it weren't for the important things to play and happened to be in the capital, he still didn't have the qualifications to enter the court, of course, his sedan chair fell behind the sedan chair of Huang Desheng, and it was still very backward.
Of course, this also helps him to see the current situation in the square.
At this time, the sky was just slightly bright, and the air was still filled with a thin mist unique to the Jiangnan region, which made people feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, he heard a drum sound in front of him, and then the big internal official shouted in a sharp voice: "Open Sima Gate!" β
Sima Gate slowly opened, the sedan chair of the ministers entered from this Sima Gate in turn, through the long alley, Jin Ren looked at it from the end, the sedan chair in front of it was connected, as if it was a big river, the river was endless, very spectacular.
Through the gaps, you can see that the major palaces in this outer palace are standing tall, and the marble outer palace square is very spacious, and there are this royal forest army guarding every corner and the center of this square, wearing black armor, holding a spear, wearing a saber at the waist, and the clothes are very distinct. The whole square is very clean and tidy, but there is a chilling 1 majesty blowing in the face, revealing a strong solemn atmosphere.
Not long after, the sedan chair came to the front of the Yuanxi Palace, here, the ministers had to get off the sedan chair and walk into the Yuanxi Palace, and after coming to the Yuanxi Palace, they began to sort out their clothes and hats, which can be related to etiquette, especially in the solemn occasion of the early dynasty, that is absolutely sloppy. Just like the cumbersome rules outside, there are also many rules in this Yuanxi Palace, each official has its own corresponding area to wait, the officials of the three provinces and six departments, the princes and nobles of the dynasty are of course in the best position, and then the official rank is divided into regions.
Needless to say, this Jin Ren not only had no good area to rest, but he had to stand aside, slowly waiting for these officials to finish tidying up, and then he heard the eunuch of the Jinluan Hall behind the Yuanxi Palace tell the hundred officials to enter before entering.
This Jin Ren was not in a hurry, so he began to carefully look at these hundred officials on the edge of this main hall, and it was obvious that these officials were divided into one faction of civil officials and one faction of military attachΓ©s. The civil officials, naturally headed by Huang Desheng, the Duke of Dingguo, and then Huang Xiu, the son of the Duke of Dingguo, followed by Kang Lehou, stood up in turn; And the military attache, naturally headed by Chengguo Gonglin Changhai.
If you want to say that this Huang Xiu, although he is also a marquis, he is far inferior to the marquis of the golden gun, when Lin Yi, the marquis of the golden gun, was made a marquis because of his repeated exploits on the battlefield; This Huang Xiuke didn't have any merits, but it was just because the Lin family was sealed that the Huang family should be sealed no matter what, so he was named Kang Le Hou.
Jin Ren was far away, this Lin Changhai was talking to other officials, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly, just looking at his size, he didn't look like a general, but like an old man in his last years, and he could vaguely see that he was lying on his back, bent over, holding a cane in his hand, and full of silver hair, very desolate, and this Huang Desheng was not comparable at all.
He didn't wait long before he heard the drum beat again, and the big official shouted in a sharp voice, "The ministers enter the palace." β
This hall is naturally the Jinluan Hall where the emperor usually goes to the early dynasty, and this Emperor Wen of Liang, at this time, is in this Jinluan Palace, waiting for the ministers to go to court.
Jin Ren calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked out with the ministers.
