"Qin Gongzi, you don't know, the emperor is not easier than us people, the emperor has to get up every day, he has to go to the court early, and everything he worries about is national affairs." The little eunuch whispered.

"That's, that's."

Qin Du said, it seems that the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty is not so easy to be, if you have to get up so early every day, you are not tired and panicked.

Qin Duan didn't know that in the Great Qin Dynasty, the imperial court had clear regulations for various meetings, and also formulated regulations, that is, the "Great Qin Huidian".

"Daqin Huidian" on the time of the early dynasty of the imperial court, requirements, have clear provisions, ministers must get up at midnight, through half of the capital to rush to the noon gate, at the beginning of the hour, the minister must arrive outside the noon gate to wait, when the drum on the upper floor of the noon gate sounds, the minister must line up, to the hour (about five o'clock in the morning) when the bell rings, the palace gate opens, the hundred officials enter in turn, before the beginning of the court.

Whether the emperor and his ministers like it or not, there is no real reason why they should not come, and they must participate in this morning unconditionally.

Such a thing as "from now on the king will not be early" really rarely appears in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty, which is why the Great Qin Dynasty has a longer history than all the dynasties in the previous life of the Qin Dynasty.

Every generation of emperors is diligent in state affairs, of course, it is undeniable that there are still several emperors in the Great Qin Dynasty, who ignore the ancestral system, causing several turmoil in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"I get up so early every day, this official is tired enough, what does this mean." When Qin Dui heard that he had to get up so early every day, he was very depressed, and he really wanted Qin Dui's life to get up so early every day.

In fact, Qin Duan took a misunderstanding, it is not easy to be an official in Beijing, and he wants to participate in the early dynasty, but when he goes to a local official, it is different, there is no early dynasty, and he doesn't have to get up so early.

And the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and if you want to sleep as long as you want, you can sleep until you say when you want, as long as you don't get caught by those imperial histories.

Of course, not all Beijing officials are qualified to go to the court, as long as officials of a certain level are qualified to go to the early court.

"Qin Gongzi, let's not speak, there is a royal history who is responsible for picketing on the side, and now it will be troublesome if it is recorded as a big disrespect." The little eunuch whispered.

So Qin Duan stupidly waited with this little eunuch outside the Taihe Palace.

About an hour passed

"There is a decree in the saint, and the talented Qin Duan enters the hall." A eunuch proclaimed the decree outside the main hall.

The venue of the Great Qin Dynasty court meeting was the Taihe Hall in the imperial palace, where important ceremonies such as the emperor's enthronement, the canonization of the empress, and the reception of foreign guests were also carried out.

The Taihe Hall is the largest and highest-level building in the Forbidden City. It is 11 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep, 64 meters long, 37 meters wide, with a construction area of 2377.00 square meters, a height of 26.92m, and a height of 35.05m together with the foundation, which is the largest and largest in the Forbidden City.

There is a wide platform in front of the hall, called Danma, commonly known as the platform. On the platform, there is a sundial and a Jialiang, a pair of copper turtles and copper cranes, and 18 copper tripods. Turtles and cranes are symbols of longevity.

The sundial was an ancient timekeeper, and the Jialiang was an ancient standard measuring instrument, both of which were symbols of imperial power. His Royal Highness is a three-story white marble stone carved pedestal with a height of 8.13m, surrounded by a railing. Under the railing, there is a stone carved faucet for drainage, and in the rainy season, it can present the wonder of a thousand dragons spitting water.

The decoration of the Taihe Hall is very gorgeous. Under the eaves, the dense bucket is applied, the indoor and outdoor beams are decorated with the highest level of Hexi paintings, the upper part of the doors and windows is embedded with a rhombus pattern, the lower part is embossed with a cloud dragon pattern, and the joints are equipped with gilded copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns.

The gold bricks in the palace are paved (so it is also known as the Golden Luan Palace) (the gold bricks are named because of the money required to build them), and the ground in the Taihe Hall is paved with 4,718 large gold bricks two feet square, but the gold bricks are not made of gold, but the bricks are specially made in Su ~ Zhou. Its surface is light black, oily, bright, not astringent or slippery.

Su ~ Zhou area of good soil quality, fine firing, after firing to achieve "knock sound, broken without holes" of the Cheng dù, can be used, the process of smelting this kind of brick is extremely complicated, a brick to at least one year.

There are a total of 72 pillars in the Taihe Hall to support all its weight, of which the top beam pillar is the thickest and the highest, with a diameter of 1.06 meters and a height of 12.70 meters. It is very difficult to take this kind of wood, Nanmu often grows in the deep mountains and old forests, for this reason the officials and the people take risks regardless of their lives and safety to take materials, and the folk have the saying that "one thousand (people) into the mountain, five hundred (people) out of the mountain".

Qin Duan entered the Taihe Palace, only to see dozens of civil and military officials standing on both sides of the palace, and the lowest level among them was also a fourth-grade official.

The golden lacquer cloud dragon pattern throne in the entire palace sits the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Great Qin Dynasty, the same name as the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty recorded in the history of Qin Dusk's previous life, but the surname has changed.

However, although this Emperor of the Apocalypse has no talent or culture, he is not a carpenter, and he is much longer than the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty in Qin Du's previous life, looking at his age, he is almost forty now.

And Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Qin Dui's impression, died before he lived to be thirty years old, to be precise, he died at the age of 23.

"Long live the grass people knocking on my emperor, long live, long live!"

Qin Dui faced the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and immediately implemented the ritual of three bows and nine knocks, and in ancient times, when he saw the emperor, he wanted to implement the etiquette of three bows and nine knocks, "the prince of heaven and earth", the ancient kings, were ranked below heaven and earth, above ten thousand people, that is, parents had to be ranked after the king.

The ancients said that they should be "loyal" to the king and "filial piety" to their parents, but when the two conflict, they can only be unfilial.

"Flat!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said.

"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live!" Qin Duan kowtowed again and stood up.

"Qin Duan heard Gonggong Wei say that "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea" were both written by you." Emperor Zhao Youxiao asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, it was made by the grass people."

Qin Duan said that because he had no fame, when Qin Duan faced the emperor or officials, he could only call himself a grass citizen.

"Then I'll test you with a question." The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Qin Du with great interest and said.

"Please ask the emperor to ask the question."

At this time, Qin Duan could only bite the bullet and say, I hope this Emperor of the Apocalypse will not come up with too difficult questions, especially not any eight-strand essays or the like, otherwise Qin Duan really can't answer, then he won't.

"Qin Dui listens to the question, I come up with a pair of uplink, you come to the downlink." The Emperor of the Apocalypse took out a slip from Wei Zhongxian's hand, opened it, glanced at it, and said to Qin Duan.

"The grass people obey." Qin Duan immediately knelt down again and said.

"Listen, my uplink is 'a lamp, four words, wine, wine, wine." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said.

This exam question, of course, was not made by Emperor Zhao Youxiao himself.

You must know that Zhao Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse of the Great Qin Dynasty, was not favored by his grandfather Emperor Wanli because of his father Taichang Emperor Zhao Changluo, and he was also neglected since he was a child, and he did not leave a will until Emperor Wanli died before he died, canonizing him as the emperor's grandson.

Although Zhao Youxiao's biological mother Wang Cairen was above Li Xuanzhi, because Li Xuanzhi was favored, she was humiliated by Li Xuanzhi and died, and Zhao Youxiao was also "insulted and abused" by Li Xuanzhi since he was a child, crying all day long, forming a weak character.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao You of the Apocalypse did not receive a good education when he was young, his cultural level was not high, and he couldn't produce any decent pairs.

This Empress Zhang, named Zhang Yan, the word Zu'e, nicknamed Baozhu, and her father Zhang Guoji.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yan, who was fifteen years old at the time, was the first beauty selected from the 5,000 beauties in the national primary election, and was canonized as the queen in April of the same year, which is very talented.

"The two drums and double-sided gongs are dangdangdang." Qin Duan immediately replied, fortunately, this pair Qin Duan had also seen it in his previous life.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know what Qin Dui's answer was, so he looked at the courtiers and saw that they were all nodding, so he said, "Flat." ”

"Emperor Xie!" After kowtowing and thanking him, Qin Duan stood up.

"Your Majesty, Qin Dutong has tried your palace, is it time to make him an official?" Wei Zhongxian said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say."

The person who came out to speak was called Zou Yuanbiao, who was the Dali Siqing, one of the three major judicial officials of the Great Qin Dynasty, the third rank official, the highest official in charge of the national prison, and the rank was much higher than Zuo Guangdou of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was one of the iconic figures of the Donglin Party.

"Oh, what does Zou Aiqing have to say?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zou Yuanbiao of Dali Temple suspiciously.

"The minister also heard about this Mr. Qin's "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea", and he also admired his talent, and wanted to learn from this Mr. Qin." Zou Yuanbiao said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"This ......," said the Emperor of the Apocalypse, with some embarrassment,

"Your Majesty, Lord Zou is very good, this Mr. Qin is talented, we also want to see it." Zuo Guangdou of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also came out and said.

"Your Majesty, since this Mr. Qin can make peerless words like "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea", his talent must be amazing, so it's good to let Lord Zou compete with him, and let Lord Zou convince him."

Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, also came out to speak, and he is also a leader of the Donglin Party, it seems that today's Donglin Party is collectively going to be unable to get along with Qin Duan.

"Long live, it's not bad to let Mr. Qin have a competition with Mr. Zou, let us all see the talents of Mr. Zou and Mr. Qin."

Wei Zhongxian also said approvingly, Wei Zhongxian is very confident in Qin Dui, and this confidence comes from getting along with Qin Duan yesterday.

Wei Zhongxian also wanted to take the opportunity to combat the arrogance of the Donglin Party, so that they could know that their faction was not all straw bales.

"In that case, let's compare."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse opened his mouth and said, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also likes to watch people compete, this is lively, much more exciting than watching a play.
