Chapter 26: The Audience
In Li Chunfeng's impression, he has some impressions of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are relatively recent dynasty official uniforms, as for the Tang Dynasty...... It's really not impressive, and it may be because the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty are not as distinct as those of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the Tang Dynasty, men's clothing was dominated by the head robe, and the main clothing of officials was a round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, and its color was also stipulated: all officials above the third grade were all purple; Above the fifth grade, the crimson is colored, and the sixth and seventh grades are green; The eighth and ninth grades are cyan.
Li Chunfeng is nine products, and the robes distributed are cyan, if you are purely in color, cyan is at least better than green.
Yuan Tiangang explained: "Yesterday, when the people of the Qin Palace's mansion sent the reward, they sent it together with this official uniform. ”
"I see." Li Chunfeng nodded.
Nodding, although reluctantly, Li Chunfeng still took the cyan robe from Yuan Tiangang's hand, and then changed it down.
After sorting out everything, Yuan Tiangang said: "It's not early, Chunfeng, it's time for you to leave." ”
"That...... Master, Qin Wangfu, where is it? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll send you over for the teacher." For the apprentice in front of him, to be honest, Yuan Tiangang was still very worried, after all, there was something wrong with his "head".
Hearing Yuan Tiangang say this, Li Chunfeng was relieved.
So, bidding farewell to Sun Simiao, the master and apprentice kept walking eastward, running in the direction of Chang'an City.
Out of the east gate of Chang'an City, it took more than half an hour for the master and apprentice to finally come to the door of King Qin's mansion at noon.
In the early days of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were allowed to live in the palace with the crown prince Li Jiancheng because of their outstanding military exploits and lofty status, of which Li Shimin lived in the Chengqian Hall and Li Yuanji lived in the Wude Palace.
However, later, the power of the Qin king Li Shimin's group expanded dramatically, directly challenging Li Jiancheng's status as the East Palace, so Li Yuan ordered the King of Qin to move out of the city to live in Hongyi Palace.
Like all ancient palaces, Hongyi Palace is resplendent with eaves and arches, and the palace hall can be seen standing proudly from outside the palace gate, towering over the clouds.
Hongyi Palace, built on the rammed earth mound several zhang high, looking from afar, the high rammed earth mound is like a majestic pyramid, constantly extending upward, and the palace built on it, it jumps high and looks at the imperial palace in Chang'an City.
Although Hongyi Palace is majestic, it still can't hide the dilemma of its owner's fall from grace.
"Who's coming?" A team of soldiers guarding the palace gate stopped Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice.
Yuan Tiangang replied on his behalf: "In Xia Yuan Tiangang, this is Li Chunfeng, who was summoned by the King of Qin and came to meet him. ”
"Is there a seal?"
"Yes, yes."
I saw Yuan Tiangang take out two bags from his body and hand them to the general guarding the palace gate, the man took out two seal-like things from the bag, and after checking that it was correct, the general nodded and said: "Two of you, please stay here for a while, and I will enter the palace to pass it on." ”
With that, the general turned around and walked briskly towards the palace.
After waiting in front of the palace gate for about a quarter of an hour, another official dressed similarly to Li Chunfeng was replaced: "Daochang Yuan, Daochang Li, please come with me." ”
So under the guidance of that person, Li Chunfeng stepped into the palace of the Tang Dynasty for the first time.
Walking on the stairs of the upward extension, Li Chunfeng looked back, as if the whole world had been trampled underfoot, the situation around Hongyi Palace was in full view, and looking at Chang'an City in the distance, the scale and situation of the imperial palace even appeared in the bottom of his eyes.
Such a majestic and atmospheric architectural style is more domineering than the Ming and Qing imperial palaces and the Tang Dynasty palaces built on high rammed earth mounds. Living in such a palace makes people's hearts constantly tumble with emotions.
Under the guidance of the envoy, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were taken to a convenient hall, which was the place to wait for the summons of the King of Qin.
Although it is also a palace, because Hongyi Palace is outside the city and is inhabited by the King of Qin, the martial law and defense are not as strict as the palace, and the guards can rarely be seen here, and the King of Qin is not very harsh on his subordinates, so he can walk in the palace more freely when he comes to the officials of Hongyi Palace.
"The two of you, please wait here, and go to pass the word to the King of Qin."
"There is labor."
After the man left, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang stayed in this side hall, and when they were bored, they began to look around.
"A royal is a royal family, and a palace is built with such exquisiteness." Li Chunfeng sighed, as if he regarded himself as a tourist, and actually walked around in this side hall.
However, for this, Yuan Tiangang Dao did not open his mouth to stop it.
Li Chunfeng came to the window, looked out through the window, because the position was very high, so Li Chunfeng could see a large area of scenery, in the distance, he saw several figures walking in from the direction of the gate of Hongyi Palace, all the way from the stone stairs, and finally under the guidance of people, they also came to the side hall.
"Huh? Why are these people dressed so strangely? ”
Under Li Chunfeng's gaze, I saw four people dressed in knee-length exotic clothes, their hair tied into strands of extremely fine braids tied behind their heads, more than one meter eight tall, tall and burly, big eyes, and high nose bridge...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a foreigner during the Tang Dynasty.
After the leader exchanged words with the four people for a while with a series of words that Li Chunfeng did not understand, the four of them sat aside and stopped talking.
"Master, who are these?" Li Chunfeng replied to Yuan Tiangang's side and asked in a low voice.
Yuan Tiangang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes, glanced at the four people, and replied softly: "Turks." ”
"Turks?" Li Chunfeng was startled, turned his head and looked at the four people again, and said secretly, "These are the Turks recorded in the history books who have posed a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Even if Li Chunfeng is not good at history, he still remembers that in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Turks repeatedly invaded the interior, but fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was strong and finally tamed the Turks completely during the Zhenguan period.
But now, the Tang Dynasty was initially decided, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had not yet ascended the throne, and the Turks were very rampant.
However, at this moment, what was the intention of the Turks who suddenly appeared in the Tang Dynasty and came to meet Li Shimin, the king of Qin?
Li Chunfeng looked at the four Turks over there, and one of the Turks felt Li Chunfeng's gaze, and with fierce eyes, he glared at Li Chunfeng.
"Sure enough, it's a barbarian!" Li Chunfeng retracted his gaze and said secretly in his heart.
Here, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and the four Turks stayed together, feeling a little uncomfortable, and after about a quarter of an hour, someone finally came to lead the two to meet Li Shimin.
"Yuan Daozhi, Li Daochang, summoned by the King of Qin."
Yuan Tiangang was stunned: "Poor road also go?" ”
"Exactly."
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tiangang nodded and went with Li Chunfeng to meet Li Shimin.
