The next day, that is, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the New Year, the sky was just bright, and the hard-pressed Liu Fan set off with Li Xiaohu and a few others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At dawn, Liu Fan hurried all the way, and finally came to the noon gate, at this time, a large number of civil and military officials had already gathered at the noon gate, Liu Fan was no less than a hundred, looking around, more than a hundred or so people were wearing scarlet robes, and only occasionally could catch a glimpse of a touch of cyan. It's really a little green in the red of ten thousand flowers!

Why are so many people coming back outside the gate at noon today? That's because today is a big day, and it's the annual Zhengdan Dynasty meeting of the Ming Dynasty! Since the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang set the world, the Zhengdan Dynasty will become the most solemn day of the Ming Dynasty, its scale is second only to the ascending pole (that is, the new emperor ascended the throne) on this day the emperor to accept the main hall of the forbidden city to accept the hundred officials to congratulate, the emperor, the queen, the concubine, including the officials in Beijing on this day to pay a salute! According to the etiquette regulations of the Ming Dynasty, all civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing, regardless of their position, must enter the palace to meet the emperor to see respect, and the emperor will also meet many large and small officials on this day to commend and reward. Liu Fan has nothing to do with the place of the third grade, and does not belong to the category of Jingguan, so Liu Fan was not used to see it! However, under Chongzhen's order, he made an exception and asked Liu Fan to also participate, saying something to show his favor, so Liu Fan was suddenly forced to do so!

Because the hour was still early, most of the officials gathered together with acquaintances to greet each other, Liu Fan glanced around and smiled bitterly, he didn't know any of these officials! In other words, Liu Fan's official is not small, although the third-grade military attache is a local military attaché, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official with one foot, but after so long, there are not even many officials he knows, let alone make friends! Watching people chatting hotly, but he was alone, this made Liu Fan really embarrassed!

Just when Liu Fan was full of depression, there was a commotion outside the crowd, and then a large number of officials began to move in that direction. "Lord Wen is here! The lower official meets Lord Shousuke! "Meet Elder Wen Ge!" The voices in the field came and went, Liu Fan was stunned, it turned out to be Wen Tiren, no wonder there was such a big pomp!

Surrounded by the crowd, Wen Tiren was full of spring breeze, with a warm attitude and greeted everyone one by one, smiling and gentle, quite a gentleman's style, and the prestige of the cabinet chief assistant was undoubtedly displayed! Seeing this, Liu Fan sighed a little in his heart, although he knew that Wen Tiren was a villain with a honey sword and a vicious mouth, but he had to admire, this person did really good work on the surface, and he was the first assistant of the cabinet, but he didn't put on a show at all, and this alone was easy to arouse everyone's favor!

Wen Tiren was surrounded by everyone, and he still caught a glimpse of Liu Fan standing on the edge of the crowd, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he simply said a few words to get rid of everyone, and came directly in the direction of Liu Fan. I saw Jimin from afar! I never thought that Jimin would come today! I have long heard that Jimin has come to the capital, but the old man has been entangled in official business and has not been able to talk to Jimin, which is a pity! ”

Liu Fan also saw Wen Tiren coming in his direction, and secretly said that he was troublesome, and he wanted to hide, but there was a way, he didn't stretch out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, he was the head of the cabinet, and he was a person above and below 10,000 people, and he couldn't slap his face in public, so he had to hug his fists and say, "Liu Fan has seen Wen Ge Lao!" I haven't seen the old man for a year, and he still has the same demeanor, which is enviable! ”

"Haha! Jimin is welcome! This time, Jimin made a new great contribution, and His Majesty also added to Jimin with his own eyes. Soon I will have to hug the beauty again! Jimin is the envy of others! Wen Tiren smiled, and his words were full of intimacy.

"Hehe..." Liu Fan smiled slightly embarrassedly and didn't make a sound.

The onlookers were amazed, and they didn't know what it was that this little military attache could make Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, condescend to greet him. Everyone present is some elite figures, although they don't know what to do, but no one is a fool to the extent that they can do it, seeing Wen Tiren's attitude, they know that this person should not be underestimated, and they can't help but secretly pay attention to it, and remember Liu Fan's appearance deeply in their hearts.

Liu Fan also felt the gaze of everyone around him, and was noticed by so many "big officials", which made Liu Fan, an otaku who had never experienced such a scene, feel bitter, you must know that each of these people is not lower than five grades, according to the calculation of later generations, which of these people are officials above the mayor! Liu Fan was like a mang on his back, and he was a little irritable in his heart.

"Tom tom tom" a drum sounded, the rhythm from slow to fast and then from fast to slow, the drum from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, and then a bell sounded in the distance! Hearing the sound of drums, the crowd was a little commotional, and gradually stopped talking, and walked in the direction of the noon gate in twos and threes!

Wen Tiren also sighed at this time: "The drum is strict! The time has come! Jimin will have time next time! Let's go! Seeing this, Liu Fan nodded and followed Wen Tiren into the flow of people! The little eunuch on duty shouted, "Your Majesty has an order!" Xuan Baiguan enters the Hajj to see you! "According to the size of their official positions, the hundred officials began to line up outside the noon gate in turn!

"Tom tom" drum sound again, the bell also became two sounds, hear the drum no matter how strict, the hundred officials from the left and right door in, come to the Danqi east and west, face the north solemnly!

The drum is three strict, and the drumming, bell, and head and tail are all changed to three rings. The bright fan of the Fengtian Temple opened, and hundreds of officials rushed in. At this time, in the Fengtian Palace, Emperor Chongzhen, wearing a black crown dress representing the majesty of the emperor, wearing a 12-fold crown made of colorful pearls, sitting on top of the golden luan, the power of the emperor is not daring to look at it directly!

The officials standing beside the emperor shouted: "All the officials kneel! "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Many officials knelt on the ground together, and Liu Fan in the crowd knelt down helplessly! At this time, the "representative speaker" who congratulated the emperor on behalf of the hundred officials knelt in the middle of the Dan Majesty and delivered a speech to the emperor, "Gu Guanchen is a certain person, I meet Zhengdan, Sanyang Kaitai, and everything is salty and new." His Majesty the Emperor Gongwei, Yingqian Nahu, Fengtian Yongchang. After saying this, the officials stood up and waited.

The celebrant shouted: "The emperor has a decree! The celebrant shouted, "Kneel! The hundred officials knelt down again, Liu Fan, who had just stood up, was suddenly stunned, and looked blankly and found that everyone around him began to kneel down one by one, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to kneel down again! At this time, the official read aloud the emperor's will: "The celebration of the end of the performance is equivalent to the secretary." ”

The celebrant shouted, "Raise the mountain! Baiguan knelt down and raised his hands above his head and shouted "Long live"! The salute officer shouted again: "Shan Huh! The hundred officials shouted "Long live" again! The salute officer shouted again: "Again the mountain! "Hundreds of officials shouted "Long live" again! When Baiguanshan shouted "Long live", all the people present must echo in unison. Shake the mountains with momentum! (To be continued.) )
