Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Dynasty Meeting (500 Recommendations and Updates)
After another three days, the time has reached the tenth day of the eighth month, and the great pilgrimage meeting that takes place every ten days will begin. Kangxi put on a thick dragon robe early in the morning. After a little breakfast, I went directly to the Taihe Palace.
The Hajj, which takes place every 10 days, is different from the Hajj, which is held every day. In the early dynasties, it was all some senior officials above the fourth rank who listened to the government. At most, there are some special circumstances, Kangxi will order someone to notify in advance, so that those junior officials who Kangxi wants to talk about can meet him.
And the Great Dynasty Meeting, that is the real civil and military officials, the envoys of Fanguo, and those princes and brothers who were given the right to listen to the government by Kangxi will be present.
Kangxi hadn't arrived yet, and these princes and ministers all got together in twos and threes and whispered about some interesting things in the family. Whoever says men don't gossip, it's just not when they're bored.
Several powerful elder brothers also gathered separately. Ninety-ten elder brothers, followed the eighth elder brother Yinxi, gathered around Yinzhen, chatting with each other. The ten elder brothers and the little ones also gathered together to talk and laugh.
One of the two elder brothers in Wuqi was raised by the Queen Mother, and the other was disabled in his early years, plus a third elder brother who loved dancing and writing the most, and the conversation was quite harmonious.
Only Yinren's side was extremely deserted, and only the fourth elder brother Yinzhen was standing beside him. I don't know if it's true or false. But whether it is true or false, the fourth elder brother has a face like an iceberg, and he is extremely unsmiling. Yinren chatted with him for a few sentences, but he really couldn't talk anymore. Therefore, it is very deserted here.
As for the sixth elder brother Yinzuo, Yinzhen's other younger brother just died two years ago, so there is no need to mention it.
Regardless of whether it is really intriguing or smiling here. The little eunuch who had been looking at the way he came saw Kangxi's bright yellow guard of honor at a glance, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the father-in-law who was holding the whip.
The father-in-law didn't need him to say anything, and when he saw him coming, he knew that he could start here. The father-in-law silently counted thirty in his heart, and then rubbed his palms and held the Jing Whip that had been prepared long ago in his hand.
This whip is woven with yellow silk, and the tip of the whip is coated with a secret wax oil, so it hits the ground very loudly. Originally, this quiet whip was used by the emperor's Luan guard to remind others that the emperor was coming, so that others could be quiet so as not to collide with the emperor.
It's just that somehow it was used to reveal that the Great Dynasty was about to begin.
As soon as the father-in-law saw Kangxi's bright yellow guard of honor appear in front of him, he immediately picked up the elaborate whip and whipped it to the ground. The whip hit the ground, and a crisp snap was heard echoing through the air.
The sound of the air exploding, listening to the ears of those civil and military officials who were still chatting, was a signal. As soon as he heard this voice, he immediately stopped talking, and quickly returned to the place where he should have been standing, standing solemnly.
Several princes, the crown prince Yinren is the first on the left, Yinren is the first on the right, and the rest are standing behind Yinren and Yinren respectively according to their eldest and youngest. Officials above the fifth rank are distinguished by their ranks, civil and military, and are divided into two sides. They all stood behind several princes and elder brothers.
From the fifth rank below, from the seventh rank and above, accounting for the vast majority of the civil and military officials, although there are many people, but the Taihe Hall is only so big, but it is not qualified to rank in the Taihe Palace.
Therefore, these officials are standing on the square outside the Taihe Palace, and they are also divided into civil and military sides according to their ranks. And in recent days, there have been no visits from the envoys of Fanguo, so there is no need to beak.
There was a whip, and the father-in-law didn't stop, rounded his palm, and slammed it on the ground, this quiet whip had to be pumped ninety-nine times, and it couldn't stop until Kangxi entered the Taihe Hall and sat down.
Therefore, the father-in-law who smokes the whip has to whip according to the speed of Kangxi's entry into the hall, Kangxi is fast, he has to be fast, and Kangxi is slow, he has to be slow. If something goes wrong in the end, he's going to be punished. Anyway, it's a delicate job.
The father-in-law had to twitch ten times before he could barely see Kangxi's guard of honor. The first guide is four, the second treasure is five, and the second static whip is four. It is followed by forty five-color golden dragon flags, two Cuihua flags, two golden drum flags, eight door flags, one sun and one moon flag, five cloud flags, five thunder flags, eight wind flags, and four Ganyu flags.
Twenty-eight Liesu Banners, five five-star flags, five Wuyue flags, four blasphemy flags, one Shenwu, Vermilion Bird, Qinglong, and White Tiger Banner, one Tianma, Tianlu, evil spirit, rhinoceros, red bear, Huang Zhen, Bai Ze, Jiaoduan, Youlin, Caishi, Zhenlu, Mingyu, Chiwu, Hua Worm, Yellow Bird, White Pheasant, Cloud Crane, Peacock, Yifeng, Xiangluan Banner.
Only when this small flag came down could I see Kangxi's figure. Kangxi, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat firmly on the dragon robe. Although he is nearly half a hundred years old, he still looks extremely majestic on his face, and he is not half old.
On the left and right sides of the Kangxi dragon, there are palace maids holding Luan Feng Chifang Fan Eight, Pheasant Tail Fan Eight, Peacock Fan Eight, Single Dragon Red Group Fan Eight, Single Dragon Yellow Group Fan Eight, Double Dragon Red Group Fan Eight, Double Dragon Yellow Group Fan Eight, Red Man Single Dragon Fan Six, Yellow Man Double Dragon Fan Six, Shouzi Yellow Fan Eight.
There was also a canopy of smoke on top of his head. The leading guard minister in Luan's honor guard took the lead, followed by the second saber minister, ten guards each with guns and swords in the leopard tail squad, twenty guards with bows and arrows, and two leaders in the guard squad. After the management of the Zongren Mansion King and Gong, there is one leader of the forward guard, one leader of the guard class, one leader of the guard class, and two guards Shi Chang. These are all here to protect Kangxi's safety.
By the time Kangxi's entire guard of honor entered the father-in-law's sight, the whip had already sounded sixty times. When they arrived at the white marble stairs in front of the Taihe Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who were holding the honor guard all retreated and lined up on both sides. Only two fans were left, and the two who held the canopy followed Kangxi.
Wait for Kangxi to go up the white marble staircase and arrive at the square in front of the Taihe Palace. Those officials who had been waiting outside for a long time, from the seventh rank above and below the fifth rank, immediately knelt on the ground and shouted Long live my emperor, long live, long live.
It is really not easy for these Beijing officials to meet Kangxi. Don't talk about getting up early in the morning, you have to wait so long when you get to the palace, you have to kneel when you see Kangxi, and Kangxi doesn't take care of it. How else to say that the right is moving?
Waiting outside the Taihe Palace, Liang Jiugong, who had been serving by Kangxi's side, walked forward slowly and shouted, "The emperor has arrived." When the last point of the tail fell, Kangxi had already entered the Taihe Palace, and the timing seemed to be just right.
As soon as Kangxi came in, the civil and military ministers here were also like those outside, and quickly knelt down and shouted Long live my emperor, long live, long live.
