"Lord Han, can you introduce to Lin what kind of specific etiquette the Great Chaoyi has?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"The great rituals of the feudal emperors of the past dynasties outside the etiquette of the Chang Dynasty were inherited and blended with the ancient Jiali and guest rites. The first to make the ritual of the morning was the uncle of Dr. Sun Tong of the early Han Dynasty. It happened to be the first year of October in the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, and when the Changle Palace was completed, Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty ordered the princes, princes, and civil and military officials to learn and drill, and officially implemented it as a court etiquette. Since then, the general rules of the past dynasties have always been the norm. The ritual is extremely cumbersome, and the procedure is as follows:

When the day is about to dawn but before dawn, 35 people who are "in charge of the guest and praise the matter" will be guided by the second guide; when the courtier enters the temple gate, the court will display train riders, guards, and guards, and place weapons and erect flags. As soon as he preaches and teaches people, he tends to show respect. Under the palace, Lang Zhong, who was 'in charge of the palace gate', stood on both sides of the steps, with hundreds of people on each step. Heroes, princes, generals and military histories are displayed in the west and stand in the east; The civil officials and prime ministers are displayed in the east and stand in the west. The great line of guest ceremonies, set up the ceremony of nine guests, in order to order the princes and kings and the righteous barbarians, and is responsible for uploading the message to the next and reporting the next thing. Then, the emperor sat down and went out of the room, and hundreds of officials sang the police with halberds. Then, the princes and kings were guided down to 600 stone officials, and they were ordered to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. At the same time, the imperial historian who is responsible for 'impeachment according to the chapter' can expel anyone if he is found to be not following the court's rituals. ”

The crisp sound of horses' hooves continued in the quiet streets, adding a strange rhythm to Han Xizai's subdued and frustrated explanation.

"So this etiquette is so strict?" Lin Feng deliberately asked rhetorically, encouraging Han Xizai to continue. At this time, their carriage had already arrived in front of the palace gate and began to line up to enter the palace.

"Since the former Tang Dynasty, the court has been called strict. Hundreds of officials go to the court, and the imperial history is responsible for the shift, if the court is absent without reason, one quarter of Yulu will be deducted; Hundreds of officials and court officials who do not wear court clothes in accordance with the regulations will be deducted from one month's salary; When the court is in the court, laughing and laughing, misconducting, slow to stand, improper establishment, failure to worship and lose etiquette, leaving the position without reason, wearing shifts and battles, eating and drinking under the corridor, and losing etiquette in walking, etc., all violators will be deducted one month's salary. Han Xizai said with some annoyance. Lin Feng couldn't help but snicker, I'm afraid that this Han madman has been fined money for these misdeeds, so he will be so angry.

Pacing across the East Hongqiao, the two came to the east gate of the palace city, and the heavily armed guards were inspecting the "door registration" of a group of officials of all sizes entering and leaving the palace gate in front of them, and comparing the names and appearances of the books one by one, so as to strictly prevent the stateless from entering without permission.

In Lin Feng's impression, in the sixth year of Tianyou (the third year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty, 909 AD), when Li Yu (then known as Xu Zhihe) governed Yuzhou, his adoptive father Xu Wen went to observe his political achievements, and saw that this Jinling City "The city is well organized, the building is complete, and the government is subordinate to China and foreign countries, and it is salty and orderly", so he chose Jinling as his future ruling center in his heart, moved the governance office to Jinling, which has both landscape and landscape and major strategic significance, and began to focus on repairing this ancient city. In the fourteenth year of Tianyou (the third year of Liang Zhenming, 917 AD), the rebuilding of Jinling City was completed. Since then, both Li Jing and Li Yu have vigorously consolidated the city's defenses. However, what they renovated was the outer city defense, for the palace city located in the north of the capital, Li Yu said that the emperor did not build the palace on a large scale, and the Song people recorded: "That is, the Jinling embassy is the palace, but the tail fence is only added, and it will not be changed." ”

The palace city that Lin Feng saw also confirmed this, the palace city wall was no more than three meters high, and it seemed that it was obviously not generous enough.

After a while, the team to be inspected was Han Xizai and Lin Feng. Thinking about it, the prestige of the Han madman was still there, and although he hadn't come back for a few years, the guards still smiled and let him go directly. As for Lin Feng, because he was only sealed yesterday, he was interrogated for a while. It wasn't until Han Xizai became angry and almost wanted to get angry that the guards waved his hand and let him go.

"Generally speaking, as a councilor, you don't need to go to court every morning, but because you are hand-picked by the emperor, it naturally doesn't matter." Han Xizai said, suddenly quickened his pace, and walked forward, Lin Feng followed quickly.

"Brother Junzhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Han Xizai shouted loudly, and in front of him was an old man in a light scarlet robe about fifty years old.

"Uncle Yan, I knew you were back in the capital, but the old man had something at home recently, so he couldn't make a special trip to visit, forgive Jiang for being rude." The old man's white beard fluttered in the morning breeze, reflecting a tough face of Chinese characters.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Come, let me introduce you to a young talent. Han Xizai pulled Lin Feng over and said to him, "Hurry up and salute the boss, this is Lord Jiang Wenweijiang, the right counselor and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Who is this?" Jiang Wenwei looked at the young man in front of him with some confusion.

"He is Lin Fenglin, who has been famous for his literary talents recently, and was named Fengyi Lang by the saint yesterday." Han Hee-jae excitedly introduced.

On this side, Lin Feng had already bowed deeply: "Hello Lord Jiang. The junior Lin Feng is polite. He has long admired the reputation of Lord Jiang, is loyal to the country, and is upright, which is really an example for the lower officials to admire and learn. ”

It's no wonder that Lin Feng's sycophants are loud, this Jiang Wenwei is not an ordinary loyal minister. He is a native of Jianyang, Fujian, born in the first year of Tianfu in the former Tang Dynasty (901 AD), and Jinshi in the second year of Tang Changxing (931 AD) after five generations. Like Han Xizai's father Han Guangsi, because he was involved in the political incident of Mingzong Li Siyuan's murder of his second son Congrong and Quanchen An Chongzhi, he fled south to Li Yu and served as an observer judge in Xuanzhou. After the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jiang Wenwei was promoted to be a member of the Zhongshu Society. Soon after Li Jing ascended the throne, Jiang Wenwei, like Han Xizai, also impeached Feng Yanji and Wei Cen because of Feng Yanlu's failure to attack Fujian, and was demoted by Li Jing to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to join the army. Jiang Wenwei was mentally prepared for being degraded before going to the house, and was ready to stop the moving boat, let his mother sit on the boat, and composed a poem: "If Qu Yuan is fortunate to be here, he will not be buried in Miluo with sand." Soon, Li Jing remembered that he had just introduced his promises, re-summoned the deputy envoy of Yingtian, and promoted Wei Weiqing, and promoted him to the right counselor and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Xuan was in charge of the same order.

"You are Lin Feng, who is known as a generation of writers, and you are so young?" Jiang Wenwei looked at Lin Feng with some incredulity, he accidentally saw the collection of Lin Feng's words that was circulated in private a few days ago, and he couldn't put it down, "The text carries the Tao, the text is insightful, Lin Yilang's words are ambitious, and he is deeply favored by the saints, and the future must be immeasurable." ”

"Don't dare to be it, the lower officials really don't dare to bear this title. Where can I compare with Master Lin's "Tang Wu Yingxiu Fu", "Guixiang Fu Collection" and other masterpieces. Lin Feng's face turned red, he had always felt guilty about the reputation of this stolen generation of writers.

This Jiang Wenwei's life is erudite and talented, especially the work of words, and Gao Yue and have a literary name in Jiangnan, when called "Jiang, Gao." "It's a pity that good people don't live long, and bad people will suffer for a thousand years, Lin Feng thought with some shock, and raised his head to look at Jiang Wenwei's firm but somewhat blue face. In the original history, Jiang Wenwei died of illness two years later.

The three of them walked as they talked, and they had already walked to the front of the Liangyi Palace, and at this time, many officials were present and were chattering with each other. Jiang Wenwei said goodbye to the two, walked into the crowd, and immediately became the object of greetings from a group of people.

At this time, Han Xizai immediately turned into a nostril-facing appearance, ignoring any other people around him at all, and completely lost the enthusiasm he had when he saw Jiang Wenwei.

Lin Feng snickered in his heart, sure enough, he was a Han madman who "didn't worship one person in the Manchu Dynasty", no wonder he had been in the Southern Tang Dynasty for twenty-four years before he became a six-rank official.

At this time, Lin Feng also knew very few people, and the petty official of the sixth rank was also the petty official at the end of the team, and no one took the initiative to come over to say hello, so he stood calmly behind Han Xizai, silently observing the various people in front of him.
