(Xie: With the generous tip of Yuli Flower 1957, thank you for the reward of the Moshaocong brothers.) 2-in-1 chapter, no update today. ）

In the early morning of the next day, just after midnight, under the protection of several soldiers, a chamberlain in the palace who explained the etiquette of worship arrived at Wang Yuan's house. This is the practice of the DPRK and China, the first time you go to the palace or enter the palace, there will be a special person to inform you of the etiquette, so as not to behave inappropriately, and it is just a shame to make a fool of yourself, and it is a big sin to collide with Your Majesty.

Wang Yuan is naturally serious about studying, but it's a pity that the old waiter is verbose, and after talking for a long time, Wang Yuan can be regarded as understanding six or seven points. But it's not a big deal, Wang Yuan has figured out some of the procedures and etiquette of the court meeting.

After learning these, it is already the time of the rooster's crow, and after sending off the old servant, there is no time to continue sleeping, because the early Tang Dynasty will start very early, and generally after the fifth watch, you need to rush to the designated place in the palace to wait for the court, and the time is actually very urgent.

Everyone in the Wang family also gathered in the back house, and after Wang Yuan washed, everyone helped change clothes, comb their hair, tie up and put on boots, and they were busy with nervousness. Fortunately, a few days ago, in order to buy things conveniently, the family bought a carriage, which came in handy at this moment as a means of transportation. After packing up, Huang San drove Wang Yuan in a carriage and went out in the eyes of everyone.

The carriage was speeding down the dark street, and the martial marquis in the market outside the square were still patrolling, but for some reason, Wang Yuan had no fear of these martial marquis for the first time. Speeding past them, without even thinking about being checked by them. He even hoped that they would stop the carriage and interrogate them, so that he could show the guys the letter he was holding, and then taunt them.

However, these martial artists seemed to have a natural sense of smell, and they had no intention of checking at all, as if they knew that the people sitting in the carriage did not need to be checked. Wang Yuan even asked Huang San to deliberately pass the carriage past their horses, but it didn't have the slightest effect. Wang Yuan was disappointed, but also secretly sighed in his heart, this is called this time and that time, when he heard Wuhou and changed color, he was frightened when he heard the sound of drums, and now he can actually speed on Chang'an Street before dawn without worrying about being interrogated by Wuhou, which is already a great progress. Unlike most of the people in captivity, he has been able to step out of these cage-like people's houses.

The sky is slightly bright, and Daming Palace is in front of you; In the morning light, the square in front of the Danfeng Gate at the main gate of Daming Palace is very lively, the luxurious and exquisite carriages, tall and sturdy horses gather on the side of the Danfeng Gate. The groom and the servant who led the horse scolded the horses and drove the carriage to the parking place on the side of the palace gate. At this moment, their masters were tidying up their clothes in twos and threes, greeting the officials who knew each other, and walking towards the Danfeng Gate with a lively conversation and laughter.

Wang Yuan got off the horse and instructed Huang San to park the carriage at the designated location and wait for him to come down, Huang San's face was full of excitement, and he agreed repeatedly, but his eyes were staring at the magnificent palace gate and the bustling crowd around him. Wang Yuan understood his feelings, and it was the first time he participated in such an occasion, even Huang San, an authentic Chang'an person, had never experienced it.

In fact, he is the same as him, looking at the officials who entered the palace gate in twos and twos with a smile and a smile, Wang Yuan didn't know anyone here, and he looked very lonely, as if he was a little out of place.

Wang Yuan packed up his mood and adjusted his clothes, walked towards the Danfeng Gate, and after showing the token of entering the palace, he entered the Daming Palace unimpeded. Dozens of steps away, the royal bridge on the Longshou Canal is in front of you, and the left and right sides of the lower horse bridge are the same, are white marble railings, big bluestone bridge deck, delicate and luxurious.

The tall petal-shaped light pole on the bridge reminded Wang Yuan of that night a few days ago. A few days ago, Wang Yuan had secretly come here, and this time he came, which can be regarded as a revisit. But it was dark that day, and I couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, and I was in a panic and was not in the mood to look at the surrounding scenery at all. And now it is dawn, although the surrounding scene is not very clear, but it can already be seen at a glance, which allows Wang Yuan to really see the pattern in the Daming Palace for the first time.

After crossing the imperial bridge, the royal road under your feet directly passes through the large square in front of the Hanyuan Palace, leading to the steps below the Hanyuan Palace, which is located hundreds of steps away. There are dozens of tall houses and palaces on the left and right of the square, Wang Yuan heard Gongsun Lan say that these houses on the left and right are the places where the Jinwu Guards are located, that is, the general office where the Jinwu guards and horses are stationed in the palace. Although the dozens of houses and halls are not tall, everyone knows that this is an important place to defend the Daming Palace.

In this palace, the Kingo Guards have absolute control, which is reflected in the rows of Kingo Guards who are everywhere in armor. No matter on the side of the royal road, on the corridor between the halls, in the faint shadows of the trees, you can see their tall and solemn figures, and their imposing figures.

Wang Yuan knew that the responsibility of the guards in the Daming Palace was these Jin Wu Guards, and in the early dynasties, there were also Jin Wu Wei soldiers standing outside the palace, known as the Jin Wu Wei Palace, and their status and responsibilities were more important than the Longwu Army and the Shenwu Army that they saw guarding several palace gates of the Daming Palace that night. Although it is not as high as the status of His Majesty's guards, it is also an important forbidden force that can not only protect the palace, but also patrol the city.

In front of the royal road, two pavilions that are not high stand on both sides of the royal road, these two pavilions have names, one is Xiangluan and one is the phoenix, the red pillar and the green eaves, gorgeous and extraordinary. After passing the Xiangluan Pavilion and the Qifeng Pavilion, the Hanyuan Palace, which stands tall and majestic like a mountain peak, is in front of you. Three rows of hundreds of steps creeping up, looking up at the Hanyuan Hall at the bottom of the steps, setting off the solemn blue and black sky in the early morning. The scenery gives people the feeling of being looked down on by a giant sitting upright. When people arrived at the foot of the Hanyuan Palace, they couldn't help but have a sense of solemnity, and even the officials around them stopped laughing, bowed their heads and walked up, psychologically taking pictures of the momentum of this hall.

Wang Yuan also felt the same way, the royal majesty was reflected in front of the Hanyuan Palace, and the foundation was several zhang high, plus the height of the main hall more than ten zhang high. In Chang'an, in the Tang Dynasty, except for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I am afraid there is no taller building than it.

And it seems that in order to set off the tall and majestic general of the main hall of the Hanyuan Palace, there is also a bell and drum tower on both sides of the main hall, as the annex building of the Hanyuan Palace, it is connected with the main hall by the flying corridor.

All of this is not arbitrary, but very elaborate. Although Wang Yuan didn't know, if he knew the meaning of these layouts, he would definitely be amazed. First of all, the position between the two pavilions of Xiangluan and Qifeng in front of the palace and the Hanyuan hall form a 'concave' type, the two attics are like the two guards of the arch guard hall, such a layout forms a level and echo, under the two attics is the staircase that spirals up, the Tang Dynasty calls it the dragon tail road, this layout has been called 'the rise of the sun' is to describe the two pavilions under the guard, the grandeur of the main hall can be highlighted.

And the two bell and drum towers on the side of the hall and the main hall of the main hall form a mountain shape, more like to set off the majesty of the main hall, and it is an important subsidiary hall, in addition to the bell and drum tower at the Shuntian Gate of Taiji Palace, the most important bell and drum tower in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty is afraid of this.

The kingdom of the Celestial Empire reveals hidden mysteries everywhere, and everything is not made up casually, but takes a lot of thought into it, containing many connotations that are difficult for ordinary people to know.

Today is the early dynasty, and it is also the first early dynasty of Xuanzong this month. Since the concubine entered the palace, the practice of one day has long been broken, so every early morning day, the officials come neatly, and many people may only see Xuanzong today in a month or even a few months, so they attach great importance to it.

Of course, close ministers like Li Linfu and Li Shizhi can enter the palace to see the emperor even if they don't have a court meeting, but for most officials, showing their faces is just a few days a month.

Under the bell and drum tower on both sides of the Hanyuan Palace, it is the resting place of the officials before the last dynasty; Climbing the high steps of the temple can be a disaster for some officials, and when they get there, they can take a break, drink some tea and regain their strength, they can also talk and chat with their acquaintances, and sometimes they can set up some offensive and defensive alliances in the corner.

At this moment, the bell and drum tower is already overcrowded, but it is not a mess. Officials have their own circles. Rank and faction are also a significant obstacle to their movements. Even if you want to get involved in a topic, if you're not part of the circle, or if you're just a low-level official, you won't fit in.

What's more, at this time, there are also supervising the imperial history as the supervisors of the early dynasties, and at this moment the supervising imperial history is the most confident and face-saving, and they are responsible for maintaining the discipline of the officials before the early dynasties. From major topics that cannot be discussed privately, to small ones that look at who's disheveled and who is making a loud noise, the inspectors have the right to deal with it. Generally, it is a warning and reprimand, if the circumstances are serious, the supervising imperial historians will even have the right to order the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard Palace to forcibly fork the disobedient official out of the Daming Palace, deprive him of his qualifications to go to the court, and then punish him afterwards.

But in fact, such things rarely happen, and the inspectors are not stunned, and they will not do anything too offensive, most of the time they just go through the motions and turn a blind eye.

Wang Yuan stood in the middle of this group of officials, looking out of place, he had no official uniform on his body, just an ordinary robe, no official hat on his head, and no official boots under his feet. In terms of appearance, it stands out from the crowd. What's more, there is a group of officials around who bow to each other, talk about things in officialdom, and even joke with each other, none of them know each other. Originally, Wang Yuan thought that he would meet Li Shizhi, Li Linfu, Pei Kuan and others, but unfortunately, he didn't even see these acquaintances he didn't want to see.

For a while, Wang Yuan felt a little idle, so he stood alone at the railing and looked down at the scenery of the square, and simply didn't think about it. Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded behind him: "Wang Yuan, is it you?" ”

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw a person in his forties standing in front of him, with a black beard and an honest face, his face was full of surprise. Wang Yuan knew him, this person was the editor and supervisor of the Hanlin Academy, one of the judges of the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference, and the future great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing.

"It turned out to be Yan Yushi, polite." Wang Yuan is also very happy, he can be regarded as meeting someone he knows, although he is not a very familiar person, but at least he is not blind to the other.

"If it's really you, haha, poetry rookie Wang Gongzi, no...... I should call you Bachelor Wang; Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty ordered you to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and I am really happy for you. Several old masters in the Hanlin Academy were also very happy, congratulations. Yan Zhenqing exclaimed with a startled smile, and immediately attracted the attention of the people around her.

"Wang Yuan? Who is Wang Yuan? ”

"Where is Wang Yuan? Wang Yuan, who wrote "Leaving the Grass on the Plain" and "Climbing Song"? What about people? ”

"He is Wang Yuan? …… I was still a waiter in the palace just now, I was pink, I didn't have a beard, and I didn't wear official clothes...... Oops, that's rude. ”

The officials who gathered around were talking about it, Wang Yuan frowned, thinking that these officials were also so gossip and boring, just like the people in the market, it was strange.

Yan Zhenqing frowned and shouted, "Everyone, can you be a little polite?" In front of Mr. Wang, there were many discussions, do you understand etiquette? His Majesty personally summoned Wang Yuan as a bachelor of Hanlin, this is the second person in my Tang Dynasty after Taibai, you are all scholars, and you should be congratulated. ”

The officials arched their hands one after another and said: "What I said is, I am waiting to congratulate Bachelor Wang, Bachelor Wang is not strange, we have no malicious intentions, but I have heard the name of Bachelor for a long time, and I have never seen Bachelor Wang's true face, and I can't help but be excited when I see it today." ”

"Yes, yes, I was amazed to read the poetry of the bachelor. The talent of the bachelor is not too white, and a song on the building is enough to be famous through the ages, and it is even more sad to raise a glass to eliminate sorrow...... The water is more flowing...... Who can make such a verse? Admire, admire, admire. An official shook his head and recited Wang Yuan's poems.

Yan Zhenqing waved his hand and said: "That's it, we will all be colleagues in the future, and there are many opportunities, so don't gather around here." It's all gone. ”

Yan Zhenqing is the identity of supervising the imperial history, and what he said naturally has some weight, and the officials did not want to offend him, so they retreated to the side. Yan Zhenqing turned his head and said with a wry smile: "Bachelor Wang didn't expect it, there are so many people who like you among the officials." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I really can't imagine that Yan Yushi is also a member of the Hanlin Academy, and I hope that Yan Yushi will help me a lot in the future, but I don't know anything about officialdom." ”

Yan Zhenqing said with a smile: "That's natural, in fact, I don't know much about it, but I am very happy that you joined the Hanlin Academy, recently I have comprehended your 'Fang Songti' handwriting, and it seems that I have realized the way of calligraphy of my own school, and you enter the Hanlin Academy, I will have more opportunities to ask you." ”

Wang Yuan is full of black lines, the so-called Fang Songti is just a casual nonsense to deal with Yan Zhenqing at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference, I didn't expect this person to really study it, if he goes crazy like this, and ruins this future great calligrapher, it will be a big sin for himself.

Yan Zhenqing saw that there was no one left and right, and said in a low voice: "Bachelor Wang and Li Zuoxiang are having an unpleasant quarrel?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "How can there be such a thing? ”

Yan Zhenqing said: "Then why did Li Zuoxiang scold you for being ungrateful when he talked about you in private recently?" Saying that you borrowed his power to make a name for yourself and then climbed another high branch is the face of a villain. ”

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Do you believe it? ”

Yan Zhenqing said: "I don't believe it, I also know some of the reasons why you left Li Zuoxiang, and when I went to Zhongnan Mountain to visit Wang Maha a few days ago, he also talked about it. Wang Majie said that he had a hunch that you would not get along with Li Zuo, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”

Wang Yuan sighed: "In any case, Li Zuoxiang has the grace of supporting me, he can talk about me, but I don't want to talk about him." I also have my own reasons for leaving, but I don't want to be an outsider. ”

Yan Zhenqing nodded and said, "I understand, I was looking for you just now to have a few words with you." Li Zuoxiang let go, it may be unfavorable to you in the future, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Why didn't I see Li Zuoxiang and them?" ”

Yan Zhenqing said: "The officials of the fourth rank and above are all resting under the bell tower in the east, here are the officials of the upper dynasty below the fifth grade, of course you can't see them." ”

Wang Yuan suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Thank you Yan Yushi for reminding me, I will pay attention, but in fact, I don't have anything to say but him, I believe that Li Zuoxiang will not embarrass me." ”

Yan Zhenqing nodded and said: "I hope so, don't bother first, I will take you to the Hanlin Academy to join the company as soon as possible, and I will order someone to do it for you as soon as the formalities are completed, don't worry." ”

Wang Yuan thanked him, Yan Zhenqing returned the salute with a fist, turned around and walked away. Leaning on the railing, Wang Yuan didn't know what to feel in his heart, but he didn't expect that it would be Li Shizhi who would be the first to be unfavorable to him, which was unimaginable to him before. Although someone told Wang Yuan before this that Li Shizhi had made a lot of unfavorable remarks about himself and damaged his reputation, Wang Yuan always thought that with Li Shizhi's status, he would not be so embarrassed and angry to do such a thing. But after Yan Zhenqing's words just now, Wang Yuan had to believe that Li Shizhi was indeed a person with small measurements, and Yan Zhenqing would never make rumors about him. This made Wang Yuan very disappointed, and at the same time, he was a little worried about the later dynasty.

The bell tower on the east side emitted a loud bell, and after a few roars, all the officials stood solemnly, checked their clothes and hats again, and silently lined up in line. Hearing the sharp voice of the chamberlain shouting from the door of the palace, the high-ranking officials in the east entered first, and then the official team under the drum tower where Wang Yuan was located slowly moved their footsteps into the hall.

At the end of the hundred officials, Wang Yuanxing crossed the threshold of the high Hanyuan Palace, and set foot in the core power of the Tang Dynasty for the first time, Wang Yuan's mood was still more excited than worried, and more proud than afraid.

To Wang Yuan's surprise, the early officials of the Tang Dynasty each gave a futon and let the officials kneel on it, which was much more comfortable than standing on the early dynasty in later generations. The high-ranking officials in front even had a small table in front of them, and there was tea on them, which was very pleasant.

"The saint has arrived." As the officials found their place to settle down, the attendants on the side of the throne in front of them shouted loudly.

All the officials knelt down on the futon in unison, chanting 'Long live Your Majesty' in their mouths, and when they got up, they saw the haggard Xuanzong walking out from behind the side screen, followed by the tall Gao Lishi with a dust whisk in his hand.

"The secretary sat down." Xuanzong covered his face and opened his mouth, brushing his sleeves and saying.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked them in unison, fluttering their clothes and shaking, and sat on the futon one by one.
