So under the leadership of Chen Hailiang's eldest brother, Li Tianyu and his party continued to walk through the gate towards the inside of the yamen.

After walking through the gate, Li Tianyu saw that there was a corridor in the center, but there were all buildings on both sides of his east and west, and there was a gate not far in front of him. At this time, Li Tianyu behaved like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around with a confused expression. Perhaps it's because I, as someone from hereafter, has an irresistible obsession with these places of interest.

"Li Gongzi, now we are walking on the east side of the 100-meter road is the Yamen's Yin Hotel, Yashen Temple and Sanban Courtyard, and to the west is the Yamen's restaurant and the prison where the prisoners are held." Chen Hailiang couldn't help but explain to him after calling this Li Gongzi in front of him a very dazed look, it seems that this Li Gongzi is really the first strange person in Yangzhou.

"Oh. Brother Hailiang, what's going on with this other door in front of us now? Although Li Tianyu still didn't quite understand what Chen Hailiang was talking about, what the Yin Hotel, Yashen Temple and Sanban Courtyard were, but seeing that Chen Hailiang didn't explain this, he was embarrassed to ask again, but asked about the second door in front of him.

"Oh, Li Gongzi, this gate is called 'Yimen', and it can be regarded as the second gate of the entire yamen. This Yimen is the same as the gate we just entered and the Xuanhua Fang, which is three rooms wide. The main gate of the Yimen, which is directly opposite the Yongdao we are walking on, is not opened in normal times, except when it is to welcome the higher officials and the oracles and when there is some important event to be held at the yamen. When the officials pass through this main gate, the military attache will dismount, and the civilian official will get off the sedan chair. ”

"Soga? Soutain. So what about the doors on both sides of this ritual gate? "It's noisy, anyway, the main door is open now, is this deliberately opened to welcome the arrival of Lao Tzu? But no matter what major things are in these years, I love to mix with this "military attache dismounts, civil officials fall off the sedan chair" treatment, it is said that the last time I went to the scholarly Han house of the old man Han, the plaque at the main gate of his house is such an effect. Yaxingda, no, in the future, Lao Tzu must also set up the plaque and gate of the headquarters of his Tianyu League to such a system.

"That's right, Li Gongzi, the gate of the east courtyard wall of this Yimen is the east gate, also known as the 'Shengmen', which is for ordinary people to enter and exit, and the gate of the west courtyard wall of this Yimen is the west gate, also known as the 'ghost gate' and the 'death gate', that is, for those prisoners and prisoners who are about to be executed."

"Brother Liang, oh, Brother Hailiang, which of these three doors did we enter from today?" Xiao Zhengtai, who had been listening silently on the side, couldn't help but ask when he saw that the three gates in front of him were wide open.

"Nonsense, Xiao Hao, you kid is nothing, of course you let you in through the east gate. Look, look, look, look, and let you go in alone through the west gate in a moment. ”

"Humph! If you want to go to the West Gate, Brother Tian, you are leaving! But seeing that Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help but say a little angrily after listening to his brother's words, fortunately, his current character is already a little obedient, otherwise, relying on the temperament of this kid's previous second ancestor, he would definitely find someone to abuse him immediately after listening to Li Tianyu's words.

"Okay, little boy, Li Gongzi is joking with you. Li Gongzi, as a distinguished guest to be invited in front of our yamen today, of course, has to enter through the main gate of this ceremony. Please, Li Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi, Youliang! After that, I saw our Chen Hailiang respectfully making a gesture to the three of them at the main entrance of the Yimen.

After the group passed through this gate, they were greeted by a tall and magnificent building. This building does not need Chen Hailiang to explain, Li Tianyu has already seen that this is the lobby of the entire yamen. And on both sides of the corridor in the middle of the lobby, there are still some unknown buildings.

"Li Gongzi, now these are the ...... of the Yamen on both sides of us."

"Okay, big brother, you can rest first, and I'll introduce these to Tianyu. Hey, big brother, don't look at me like that, in fact, when you went out to study, I accompanied my father to this yamen a few times. Chen Youliang saw that he finally had the opportunity to suppress Li Tianyu, so he couldn't wait to grab the road like this. In fact, he had been to this yamen a few times before, but at that time, he only came to play around, and he didn't come to visit carefully like Li Tianyu now, after all, he was not a person like Li Tianyu who was used to seeing high-rise buildings in later generations, and he was not very interested in these ancient buildings themselves.

"Alright then, then it's up to you to tell me about it." Chen Hailiang saw that his brother was in such a hurry to perform, so he had no choice but to give up this opportunity to Chen Youliang.

"Tianyu, now these buildings on both sides of us are the Household Rite Soldiers' Torture Workshop, and the one on the right should be, uh, it should be, it should be, it's ......" But Chen Youliang, who saw us, was stuck when he said this, just like Li Tianyu in the classroom in the later generations to answer questions that he couldn't answer at all and kept repeating the question.

"It's a household ceremony...... Chen Hailiang saw that his brother couldn't even remember this, and his face was a little unbearable, so he reminded him kindly.

"Ah yes, the one on the right is the Household Rite Room, and the one on the left is the Soldiers' Punishment Workshop." At this time, Chen Youliang was very in line with the expression of the future generations after receiving the support of the classmates next to him because he would not be able to.

"It turned out to be six rooms! Isn't this basically the same as the 'six parts'! ”

"That's right, Childe. The six rooms of this yamen are the functional offices of the yamen, in fact, this is set up according to six of the three provinces and six ministries set up by our Datang. ”

"Brother Hailiang, what are the buildings on both sides of the lobby?" Xiao Zhengtai saw that there was a building on each side of the lobby, and his two Brother Liang had not yet been introduced, so he asked his Brother Hailiang curiously.

"Oh, the building on the east side of this hall is the county office, and the west side is the main bookkeeper's office. This hall is used for issuing government decrees, holding solemn ceremonies, and publicly hearing important cases. ”

"Oh. If you are responsible for the people, how can you bear it, and if you deceive others, you will not deceive yourself. Li Tianyu nodded thoughtfully, and then read it again to the pillar in front of the hall.

"It's a deception of others, such as deceiving the sky, don't deceive yourself, and bear the people like a negative country, how can you bear it, Brother Tian, you are thinking the opposite." saw that Xiao Zhengtai seemed to have grabbed his brother's pigtails, and immediately corrected his mistakes like this.

And Chen Youliang on the side couldn't help laughing after listening to Li Tianyu's couplet, saying that the last time he was in the Slender West Lake, he had seen this Tianyu out of couplets and couplets again, but today he can't distinguish between the upper and lower couplets.

"That's right, to deceive others is to deceive the sky, so officials must not deceive themselves. Negative people are equivalent to negative countries, how can you bear to bear them? But seeing that Chen Hailiang looked very angry, he almost raised his head like this, looked up to the sky and sighed.

Bananas, it seems that Youliang's eldest brother really wants to be a good official, at least this angry appearance has made Li Tianyu very appreciative of it. But if it were me, I would rather be someone who can make a few sums of money openly and honestly, and also do some practical things for the people, make some political achievements, and leave some reputation. Being an official is not greedy, joke, then why are there still many people trying to enter the official career and there is a fever for applying for the civil service examination, and if you are not greedy as an official, then what is the point of being an official? What the? Serve? Pull it down, that's it: Hey, people, come and serve me!

"Li Gongzi, this is the warm pavilion in the lobby." But he saw that the group continued to walk towards the inside of the lobby, and after entering the lobby, Li Tianyu found that it was empty, and there was no trace of the official master, that is, our Lord Chen's Governor, and the little catchers.

But Li Tianyu saw that there was a three-foot public case in the center of the so-called warm pavilion, which was exactly the same as the one in the TV series and movie, and the public case also contained the four treasures of the study room used in the trial and the torture sticks thrown by the official master when the execution was staged on TV. And the screen directly behind the three-foot public case is painted on the "sea tide map". said that when he was playing the fantasy Journey to the West in his later life, netizens had a while because of the pattern of the yamen in the game, and they all thought that it was the flag of the legendary Wa Kingdom. Later, I learned that in fact, this was actually the sea tide map that existed in the ancient yamen itself, which means that the ancient officials should be as bright as the sun and the moon, clear as the sea, and the white bird painted on it is called the white pheasant, which is said to be the symbol of the ancient five grades and from the four grades, it seems that Youliang's father is estimated to be almost the fourth or fifth grade official.

"Huh? Brother God, why are some of these torture signs red and some green? But seeing Xiao Zhengtai looking at the torture stick, he asked curiously.

"Well, I guess, it's to look good. It is also possible that the punishment is different, for example, the green one is just a manicure for the prisoner and a foundation on the face, while the red one is directly a death penalty. Li Tianyu replied like this, pretending to understand, looking very authoritative and understanding.

"The green head is a catch, and it is used to catch people; The red-headed sign is the torture sign, and the one who ordered the execution. Chen Hailiang on the side seemed to be really unable to stand it, so he explained to the three people beside him. And he was completely defeated by the three people in front of him, and he didn't even know the common sense that these people knew, it seems that it is very necessary to bring them to this yamen today.

"Ah yes, actually, I wanted to correct Tianyu like this just now." Chen Youliang said very unashamedly.

"Brother Hailiang, why is there one person in this lobby today?"

"Do you remember what Li Gongzi said before, this hall is used to issue government decrees, hold solemn ceremonies, and publicly hear important cases. So naturally, there are not always people every day. ”

"Oh." Lao Tzu said, what kind of teenager Bao Qingtian and iron-toothed copper-toothed Ji Xiaolan that he watched in later generations also appeared in this scene when they were trying any cases, the key is that these two TV series of his mother are about solving cases from beginning to end.

"Li Gongzi, behind this lobby is the door room. There is also a screen door behind the door room, and after passing through the screen door, there are two halls. That is, the place where the prefect mediates and deals with ordinary cases. After the second hall, there are three halls and the master's courtyard. Li Gongzi, should we continue to walk towards the second hall, or will Li Gongzi stop here for a while to rest for a while? ”

"Oh, it turns out that there are so many organizations, so please Brother Hailiang continue to take us to have a look." It's noisy, it turns out that there are two and three halls behind this lobby, and I thought it was just a lobby. In other words, the general yamen should also have that back garden, I don't know how the back garden inside this yamen is? And Lao Tzu remembered that the young Bao Qingtian Bao Hei Tan lived in the county government of Dingyuan County, but Youliang's father was directly able to have his own mansion, and it seems that Youliang's father is better mixed. However, Youliang's father is the prefect of Yangzhou, and his level is one level higher than that of Baohei Tannadingyuan County.

(Note: The Yamen described in these two chapters are all based on Ah Liang's origins from the famous Neixiang County Yamen in the country, after all, there are very few relevant information about the Yamen of the Tang Dynasty searched on the Internet, and Ah Liang really can't bear to confuse everyone with the appearance of those 163 digital company's game plans.) After all, there are some historical cultures and knowledge that we still need to understand, whether it belongs to the Tang Dynasty or not. ）
