Chapter 39: Hitting the Water in the Middle (1)

"When you get to the court, don't forget the etiquette, and now the court is chaotic, you should just watch more and move less, if the emperor doesn't ask, you just stand, Hugh has to talk nonsense, otherwise, be careful of your skin, do you remember?"

Eight sedan chairs swayed forward on the empty East Street, in the sedan chair, the solemn face of Chengjun Wang leaned on the brocade mat, frowned slightly at Hongqing, and took the trouble to confess the same words for the tenth time.

"Yes, Father, the children remember."

Going to court? It's a good thing, others can't ask for it, before the court, Hongqing is also looking forward to it, but it's really coming to the court, only to find that this job doesn't seem to be so simple, don't say anything else, just say that getting up early is not a good thing, poor Hongqing has always liked to sleep lazy, this cold three watches on the rise, four more to get out of the house, when it was really a big crime, at this time it was already sleepy, and there was a Tang monk in his ears to read a broken thought, this crime is really not human, the problem is that the father has orders, If you don't answer, it won't work, it will make Hongqing's heart sour.

"Just remember, when you enter the palace gate, you have to walk in broken steps, and you must not run wildly......

"Also, as soon as Huang Ama comes out of the harem, he must be ......"

"Once the emperor asks questions, he must first be sanctified, and then ......"

……

Today's early dynasty is very important for the third master, not only Hongqing, the seven-year-old prince of the palace, is the first time to go to the court, but also because the things discussed today are related to the trend of the court for a long time in the future, even if he has been mentioned by Li Minquan in advance, but the third master still has no confidence in his heart, this person, always has a weak heart, and his mouth is broken, even if he knows that Hongqing has actually been repeatedly trained by the eunuch Gao Dacheng, the chief eunuch of the palace, and is very familiar with the etiquette of the court, but the third master still can't help but repeatedly tell him to chant and chatter, It's just a pity that Hongqing Shengsheng was dizzy, and I really wanted to take a rag to block the third master's gushing mouth, but unfortunately I wanted to think about it, but I didn't have the guts to do it, and in desperation, I could only listen to it, let it be perfunctory, it was really miserable.

"Lord Wang, I have arrived in front of the palace, please move the prince and the little prince."

Just when Hongqing was on the verge of collapse, the suffering finally came to an end, with Gao Dacheng's singing salute, the third master finally stopped the meaningless preaching, a waist, along the curtain of the car picked up by the people got off the sedan chair, Hongqing saw this, rolled his eyes fiercely, shook his head with a wry smile, and also got off the sedan chair, stepped out of the calf, followed by the third master to the palace gate to the courtroom, this way, I had to come up with a group of courtiers who came to greet the courtiers to spend some meaningless lips, fortunately, Hongqing has a high position, There is no need to bow to these courtiers who are not qualified to enter the courtroom, otherwise, Hongqing's poor little knees are afraid that they will have to suffer a lot again.

"Yo, the third brother is here."

"Third brother, congratulations, a great achievement, not to mention the reward, and the shadow has entered the court, it's amazing, why didn't our brother meet such a good thing."

"Come on, Lao Shi, just your laziness, even if the credit is in front of you, I'm afraid you kid won't even bother to pick it up."

"Hahaha...... that's what I'm saying, Lao Shi, you kid only has red eyes."

……

The court room is divided into north and south, the north belongs to the rest place of the three grades or above, and the rest place of the first grade and below, as for the south, it is the place where the best courtiers gather, although there is no explicit provision, but it is a matter of convention, whether it is the third master or Hongqing, they are extremely expensive masters, and naturally they went straight to the south of the courtroom, and as soon as they entered the door, the brothers who were originally sitting idly and laughing except for the eldest brother, all stood up and greeted each other with a smile, of course, in addition to greetings, they did not forget to ridicule the third master a few words, The sour smell is really flying all over the sky, which is not surprising, who made the third master make such a big contribution this time, and so easily, it is strange not to be envied.

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke, everything is a trick from the emperor, and it's just a fluke to be a brother, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, Qing'er, come, give a gift to your uncles and adults."

Although the ridicule of the brothers had been expected, but at this time, Yinzhi still couldn't help but feel a little weak, not for anything else, just because of this great achievement, he himself never thought that the credit would be so easy to get in hand, let alone that the old man Kangxi would mention Hongqing to the court, at this time facing the siege of the brothers, the third master could only smile awkwardly, and turned around and pushed Hongqing out.

Gotcha, sell us again, there's no way, pity our little knees!

Seeing that his father was so unrighteous and pushed himself out as a shield, Hongqing was really depressed in his heart, but there was no way, so he could only bury a few words in his heart.

"My nephew has said hello to my uncle!"

"I've seen the fourth uncle!"

"I've seen Boss Bear!"

……

There is the heaviest number of rites in the Qing generation, as a junior, seeing the elders, the number of rites is indispensable, if there is a loss, the official is involved in a book, the consequences are not easy to play, and because of this, even if the heart is depressed, Hongqing can only be a strong spirit, to a group of extremely noble people have seen the ceremony, fortunately, everyone knows that Hongqing is long, but do not dare to underestimate it, plus everyone's thoughts are on the early morning that is about to start, since no one is embarrassed Hongqing, all smile politely, Even if Hongqing passed the pass smoothly, even so, after counting the rounds of salutes, poor Hongqing's knees were still inevitably numb.

"Going up, going up ......"

Before Hongqing took a breath from the red tape, there was already a loud shouting in the noon gate, and all the ministers who were chatting in the court room all heard the wind and moved, each got up, quickly straightened the official robe, according to the grade, patted the team outside the noon gate, and quietly waited for the palace gate to open, as a dragon grandson, Hongqing was fortunate to stand at the front of the queue, but not with his father, but at the end of the line of the elder brother, and in front of it stood the huge body of the old ten Yin Osmium, Shengsheng obscured Hongqing's sight.

In the previous life, Hongqing always thought that the last dynasty should be in the Taihe Palace, which is commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, and all the shots about the court meeting in later generations were generally there, but in fact, it was completely false, and the place of the early dynasty was not in the Jinluan Palace at all, but in the Qianqing Gate, that is, the inner palace gate at the junction of the previous dynasty and the harem, which is the origin of the so-called "Imperial Gate Listening to Politics" in the Qing Dynasty - whenever the early dynasty, the imperial couch was set up in the middle of the Qianqing Gate, and the screen behind the couch was the screen and the table. At dawn, after the emperor ascended to the throne, the officials who came to perform the matter lined up in the square in front of the door to wait, the officials of the ministry according to the pre-arranged order, the order of the departments successively climbed the east steps to report to the emperor, approved by the emperor, only in the rain and snow days, the early dynasty will be changed to be held in the Baohe Palace, as for the Jinluan Palace, in fact, it is rarely used, only when the ceremony will be opened, and it is really not used several times throughout the year.

"The hour has come, enter!"

Mao Shi Zhengpai, the drum music on the noon gate, a middle-aged eunuch full of energy slowly walked out of the already wide open noon gate, pulling his throat and roaring, the courtiers who had already lined up immediately heard the sound and moved, Yuguan marched into the noon gate, took small steps, and rushed quickly along the palace road to the Qianqing Gate, along the way there were many eunuchs holding a static whip to the ground, stirring up bursts of roaring sounds.

The small square in front of the Qianqing Gate is not small, there are more than ten acres square, but there are more than 300 civil and military personnel with the qualifications of the last dynasty, and then counting the eunuchs and guards who maintain order, the total number is over 600, so many people gather in front of the door, and immediately the entire small square is crowded.

According to the rules of the court, you can only wait in the square, no talking, no movement, not even coughing is not allowed, there are those who dare to violate, they have their own Yushitai to keep accounts, turn back a book, the punishment is not light, obviously, this waiting is really annoying, the most test of people's patience, others are just that, are used to the old birds of the court, but there will be no side thoughts, partial birth Hongqing is the first time to go to the court, since there is no experience at all, this left and right do not see the old man come out, the heart is really uncomfortable as if there are cat's claws scratching.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Just when Hongqing was waiting for his throat to dry, as Qin Wuyong, the head of the performance office, shouted with a full of anger, the old man Kangxi, who was dressed in a Ming and Huang court uniform, had already walked out from behind the door surrounded by several little eunuchs, and Prince Yinren followed closely with a pale face.

"Smack, smack, slap......"

As soon as the old man Kangxi appeared like this, the twenty-eight little eunuchs standing around the small square immediately waved the Jing whip in their hands with all their strength, slamming the ground hard, and making a loud sound like a burst.

"Wait and greet Your Majesty!"

As soon as the silent whip sounded, all the ministers and workers knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

The old man Kangxi walked steadily to the royal couch in front of the door, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, raised his hand weakly, and called out in a calm voice.

"Ministers, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the courtiers are very familiar with the rules and etiquette of the court, only to hear the call, immediately shouted three long live, although Hongqing is the first brother, can be mixed in the ministers, shouting, but there is no risk of mistakes.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a reference."

The ministers had just stood up, and their breath had not yet been even, but they saw a person jumping out from the end of the civil official queue, and shouted loudly regardless of the court rules......
