The kind of court meeting held in the Xuanzheng Hall today is basically formalism, and the officials do not do things, and the meeting is not discussed.

Therefore, although the court meeting of the Xuanzheng Palace is over, and the empress also left under the congratulations of the hundred officials, the real court meeting has just begun.

That is, the empress returned to the Zichen Palace, and the prime ministers returned to discuss military affairs.

However, before that, all the officials of the upper court could enjoy a meal under the corridor in the palace.

As the name suggests, it is to sit on the ground and eat a meal under the eaves of the palace and on the corridor, which is called "Langxia Food", a free civil servant meal.

And said that more than 300 civil and military officials, more than three o'clock in the morning to get up and dress, eat and go out, wait for the morning drum to beat, as soon as the door opens, they hurriedly run to the Daming Palace, and then sign up for the turtle charm to clock in to work, but this is half an hour of red tape in the palace, until now it is seven o'clock in the morning, tossing for an hour or two, how much stomach is a little hungry, not to mention that eating in the palace is an honor, especially for officials below the fifth grade who can only enter the palace twice a month, or very yearn for this meal sitting in the open air "under the corridor to eat".

If so, I saw more than 300 civil and military officials under the command of the imperial history, according to the quality of the fish, came to the corridor around the Xuanzheng Hall to have a public meal.

This kind of meal activity still has the feeling of a modern staff canteen, but because every move in the dining process is still under supervision, there are provincial officials and imperial historians in charge of the order of the court class waiting to correct the mistake like a searchlight.

Rao is atmosphere was solemn and solemn, but the hearts of the people who followed the "corridor food" became hot again.

Although this Langxia meal is mutton soup noodles, this is a Langxia meal that can only be eaten by Beijing officials, and the Jinshi before them have never had such treatment.

Although they are not as good as Liu Chenxing, they are more glorious than any of the previous scholars, and they are the ones who took the first palace test, so they are naturally more expensive than the ones in the later palace test.

With such thoughts, the crowd ate with oily faces, which somewhat soothed some of the hearts that were robbed of all the glory by Liu Chenxing.

Liu Chenxing didn't think too much about it, kneeling under the open-air porch, eating the lukewarm mutton noodle soup, and he was smug, fortunately he had the foresight and did not go to the door of the workshop to eat mutton noodle soup, which happened to be staggered with the current porch food.

So Liu Chenxing and other twenty-eight people were very satisfied with this meal under the corridor, but when everyone finished eating at the specified time, the prime ministers went to the Zichen Hall to discuss national affairs with the empress, and the rest of the hundred officials were going to withdraw from the palace under the leadership and supervision of the imperial history and go to work in the central government offices of the imperial city.

Zichen Palace!

It was the Zichen Hall where national affairs were discussed.

Only high-ranking officials wearing crimson official uniforms above the fifth rank can enter the Zichen Palace.

Thinking that Liu Chenxing had not taken off the white linen clothes on his body now, he was actually able to enter the Zichen Palace, and now not only the remaining twenty-seven people were envious, but the Beijing officials below the fifth rank could not help but show a faint look of envy.

Liu Chenxing didn't expect that he would be able to enter the Zichen Hall now, it was simply an unexpected joy.

As for why it can't be in trouble?

Think about it, the empress appointed her as the first place in the first palace examination in the Xuanzheng Palace in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and the government decree is the most taboo to change the imperial order, and now it is naturally impossible to summon her again.

And there are only a few important ministers in the Zichen Palace, and if he shows up in front of the empress, he may let the empress remember it, and of course he is happy.

Liu Chenxing's heart was clear, and he knew that he was safe, so he followed the little eunuch who passed the word to Zichen Palace.

It is the same as the introduction seen when visiting the ruins of Daming Palace in Xi'an in modern times, walking more than 30 meters from the back of the Xuanzheng Palace, you will see the Zichen Gate, and the distance of 60 meters behind the door is the Zichen Palace.

Seeing this, Liu Chenxing couldn't be more certain in his heart, this is the parallel world of the Celestial Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

According to the introduction seen in the previous life, it can be known that the Zichen Hall as the empress's dormitory, the front of the hall should be the place of the inner court, and the back room of the hall is the empress's daily living place.

Probably because the Zichen Palace has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Daming Palace, even if the eyes, nose, nose and nose follow the little eunuch step by step, he can still clearly feel that the defense of the four places has been upgraded again compared to the Xuanzheng Palace.

As soon as he stepped through the Zichen Gate, there were sharp eyes looking from all directions.

This Dao's gaze followed her like a shadow, and she could still feel it until she walked up the steps outside the Zichen Palace.

But after the gaze of the civil and military officials just now, Liu Chenxing obviously felt that his mental endurance had gone up a level, and he was not nervous about the eyes of the four sides.

Although the little eunuch is in his early twenties, he can be an errand in Zichen Palace, seeing that Liu Chenxing not only followed him throughout the whole process without looking around, but also came to Zichen Hall for the first time without mentioning it himself, so he obediently listened to the summons, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Chenxing, and secretly said that he was worthy of being the first female champion in the country, and he was also a person who could have an affair with King Wei, and it seemed that he was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Thinking about the practice of female lifters going to the saint's side on an errand every year, the two of them would at least see each other a few more times, so he raised a smile and said, "Liu Bangshou will go later, I'll go and say a word." “

"There is labor." If he goes to the empress as a female official in the future, he will have to deal with the palace people here, and this little eunuch is also one of his future colleagues, Liu Chenxing knew it in his heart, and politely crossed his hands.

The two of them came over so politely, and although they didn't talk to each other much, everything was already in plain sight.

The little eunuch turned around and entered the Zichen Hall to pray, and after a while, he went and returned, "It's done, Liu Bangshou please come in." ”

Liu Chenxing finally entered the Zichen Palace.

In this dynasty, the emperor and the prime minister discussed national affairs, but since Emperor Taizong of the Shen family, it has been stipulated that when officials enter the cabinet, they will follow the order of the officials, and "there is a mistake in admonishing".

Therefore, in addition to the big men with more than three grades in the palace, there are also counselors such as filling up the que and collecting the relics, as well as the living room and historians who are responsible for recording the emperor's daily words and deeds.

At this time, the treatment of officials is still very good, unlike the Song Dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty standing on the court, not to mention the Ming and Qing dynasties when they have to kneel at every turn, in the Zichen Hall every day in the early dynasty, officials have a seat, can sit and discuss national affairs with the emperor, after all, the officials who can sit to the fifth grade or more, the youngest are forty, most of them are fifty miles away to go up, if you let stand for a few hours, I am afraid that it will not be able to stand it.
