When they woke up on the second day, everyone in the backyard began to prepare for the meeting, and the soldiers took out the horses of Fumeng Lingcha and the three generals, and combed the horse's mane with a brush to make the horse's coat shiny, and it is said that in order to achieve this effect, some people even brushed tung oil and paraffin on the horse's hair.

Staying in the backyard, Tian Duwei personally went to the account to pay the money, and went to the West Market again to buy a few new sets of saddle sheaths and bridles, which was equivalent to repackaging the leather seats for the mount.

He hung the bright stirrup on the saddle, felt someone approaching behind him, turned his head and saw that it was Li Siye, and couldn't help but point to the black fat and have nothing to say: "General Li, you are a Turkic horse, you know that it is a good horse when you look at this fat hind buttocks."

Li Siye smiled expressionlessly and said, "That's right, it's indeed a good horse."

Inexplicably, I felt that General Li's expression was a little cold, and this Tian Duwei was a little flustered.

Gao Xianzhi stood in the courtyard and shouted to Li Siye: "Siye, go try your court clothes."

Li Siye turned around and walked towards the inner hall and took the court robe from Gao Xianzhi's hand. Carry it back to your room. This court dress is very different from the regular round-necked robe, the round-necked robe absorbs many characteristics of the Hufu, and the court dress is the essence of the real Hanfu, paying attention to the wide robe with large sleeves, straight and drooping, and the belt material has strict regulations. During the Great Dynasty Meeting, civil officials all wore the crown of virtue, and the number of beams on the top of the crown gradually decreased according to the level of the official rank, with the highest five beams and the lowest two beams. The military attache wears a samurai on his head, a sword at his waist, and black leather boots on his feet.

Li Siye put this court robe behind him, held the bronze mirror and looked at it, it was indeed beautiful and majestic, but it was not very convenient to take care of, just the two wide sleeves made him extremely uncomfortable, and he felt that there was a whirring wind pouring inward. It doesn't matter what is even more uncomfortable, what is even more uncomfortable is that you have to wear three layers inside and outside, the middle single inside is the top and bottom, and then the outside is the silk robe, which is also the top and bottom, but the robe of the top has completely covered the bottom.

He took off this court robe, and the martial arts with a hairpin on his head were very heavy, but he couldn't sink as much as eleven gold and jade belts, and it was estimated that he was suffering from such a court last time.

Li Siye walked to the door of the room and opened the window sash, and saw Gao Xianzhi and Ma Phosphorus practicing walking across the courtyard, and it was the kind of figure-eight step that was full of style, which was more exaggerated than what was seen in the play.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, it is to practice the steps, everyone in the court must have a steady gait, and follow the same step, if the steps are not good, not only will the colleagues laugh, but if the imperial history who supervises the discipline will see it, you will also be charged with contempt for the court."

"Is it so scary?" Li Siye couldn't help but feel amused by the words of the two, he leaned on the window and asked, "Have you two been to the court?" ”

"No, listen to others." Both of them lowered their heads and watched their steps, as if they had no leisure to meet Li Siye.

Fu Meng Lingcha walked in from the front yard, and he didn't feel strange, and beckoned to the three of them and said: "Don't practice any gait, how others will walk when the time comes, follow along, the key is to learn to worship the dance, this worship dance saint can see clearly on the steps of His Majesty, who dances in the wrong posture, is not respectful enough to the saint, Your Majesty can remember it." ”

When the two of them heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and humbly asked Fu Mengdu to teach him how to dance this worship dance, and Li Siye did not dare to despise the etiquette, so he hurriedly went down to learn. Fu Meng Lingcha personally guided, raised his hand to do a demonstration of the action: "first step the left leg, high-five with both hands on the upper right side, then step on the right leg, high-five with both hands on the upper left side, turn around to the right, remember not to turn the other way around, and then bow slightly and shake the sleeves, lean over, kneel down on the left leg first, then kneel on the right leg, bow down, get up and formally bow to the dance, this time to add two small jumps to the above movements, the jumping action is like this......"

Li Siye looked at it, isn't this the action of playing hopscotch when he was a child, plus the charm of Ansai's waist drum, it's completely okay.

Imagine thousands of people dancing in the palace in silk robes, it's not too beautiful. He can abandon the little shame in his heart, as long as it is an action that people can make, he can too.

The soldiers in the backyard were busy all afternoon, and at night the three of them were ordered to eat early and go to bed early, and that the morning morning when the first meal began, the great court meeting would officially begin, and they should get up an hour in advance to prepare early, so as not to make mistakes in the hurry.

The Great Dynasty Meeting is usually held on the Yuan Day and the Winter Solstice, but this year due to the sudden change of Yuan Tianbao, the Great Dynasty Meeting is equivalent to being held twice, and this time it is held on the Shangsi Festival, which is more grand than the Yuan Day Great Dynasty Meeting. The Shangsi Festival was originally the birthday of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the first great court meeting of the Tianbao calendar was held on this day, which highlighted the political significance of the Chinese Zhengshuo.

Li Siye slept until midnight, heard someone shaking the doors and windows, rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Ma Phosphorus said outside: "Yin Shi Wu watch. ”

He almost scolded in annoyance, and complained: "What are you doing when you tell me to get up on the fifth watch?" ”

"Have you forgotten what day it is? I have ordered the soldiers in the fire room to boil hot water last night, and you and I will wash the stinky sweat on our bodies, and of course we will be fragrant when we meet Your Majesty. ”

"It's still fragrant." Li Siye grunted and kicked off the quilt, walked over and opened the door for him: "You go wash it, I have to sleep for a while." ”

"Fu Meng Zhongcheng has also gotten up, how can you sleep? If you don't bathe and change your clothes before the pilgrimage, you don't respect Your Majesty the saint. "Ma Pho forked his hand in the direction of Daming Palace.

As soon as this big hat was buttoned, could Li Siye still go to sleep safely, he had to put on only the middle single, and go to the water room with Ma Phosphorus with his hands holding his shirt and chest. When I entered the door, I saw that it was not a wooden barrel, but a small room similar to a toilet cubicle, the door panel could only block the waist, and on the partition above the head was a large cowhide water bag, tied with a rope at the mouth of the bundle, as long as the hot water flowed out of the mouth of the bundle with a gentle pull, and then the bag could be tied tightly with a hard pull.

The condiments used for bathing are only green salt and honey locust, and the noble people will also use pig pancreas. Li Siye tugged his mouth, and the torrent-like hot water poured down from the top of his head, and the whole person shivered comfortably, there was a faint fragrance of bluegrass in this water, which should have been added by the soldiers in advance when boiling water.

He untied his long hair from the top of his head and washed it with green salt and honey locusts, and after not washing his hair for more than two months, it was a little sticky and smelly. After cleaning, I felt refreshed, even my body was a few pounds lighter, wiped with a sheep towel, changed into a new mid-single, and finally put on a court dress.

By the time he put on his martial crown, tied the belt to his chin, and walked out of the courtyard with a long sword tied to his waist, the four soldiers were already leading the horse and waiting at the foot of the steps.

The horses are wearing new saddles and stirrups, and even the bridles are made of colored ribbons, giving them a new sense of joy. He walked up to the black fat man, and the soldier leading the horse crossed his hand and saluted, "Please get on the horse." ”

Li Siye nodded, stretched out his hand to grab the reins, raised his foot and stepped on the stirrup and turned over, Gao Xianzhi and Ma Phosphorus also got on their horses, and waited until Fumeng Lingcha finally helped Wu Ben to ride on the horse, and waved to the three of them: "Go." ”

It just so happened that at this time, there was a long and translucent morning bell in the direction of Danfeng Gate, and then the bell sounded on the gate tower of the city on all sides, and this quaint sound seemed to wake up Chang'an and wake up the city that seemed to be sleeping underground.

They rode out of Pingkangfang on horseback and came to the main street of Wangxianmen. Looking up at the dark and dark blue sky, the stars are still dotted, there is a rooster crow in all directions, looking up at the terrain of Longshouyuan gradually rising, from Chongrenfang to Yongxingfang is a gentle slope that is constantly rising, and then to the light house Yongchang is another step, Danfeng Gate has been above them from afar.

There is a guard of honor outside the Danfeng Gate, check every official who enters the door of the fish charm fish bag, the court will stipulate that the officials above the ninth grade in Beijing must participate, and the officials from other places need to be more than five grades, and the officials who do not have the fish charm can show their bodies.

The officials rode through the Danfeng Gate, dismounted on both sides of the imperial bridge, Li Siye looked up from afar, and the honor guards composed of Jin Wuwei stood on both sides of the road in pairs, extending inward from the beginning of the imperial bridge, and the Longwei Road was replaced by the left and right guard honor guards, standing with a ceremonial sword and armor.

On the square in front of Qifeng Pavilion and Xiangluan Pavilion, there are honor guards on the left and right, the long and short weapons are lined up in a queue, each team is divided into different banners, the military array is solemn, the armor piece is shining brightly, giving people a sense of majesty.

The officials began to line up in front of the imperial bridge, and the retinue of soldiers led the horses into the stables in front of the Kingo Guard. Usually the court will be divided into four columns, the civil and military have their own left and right teams, the great court will join the foreign permanent envoys and the tribute envoys of the state of Jiaozhou, and then join the sons of Xuanzong, the hundred grandsons, and the horses and horses, so that two columns are added for a total of six rows.

The officials of the Imperial History and the Ministry of Rites took the list and arranged their positions one by one, but they couldn't provoke any of the hundred officials in the front row, and they had to bring out honorific titles in soft words, but after more than a hundred, these masters immediately changed their faces, and began to scold with black faces, even the head of a state like Assassin Shi had to behave in front of these petty officials. If you annoy them, write on the book of conduct that you will despise the court, and soon someone will be able to play it in the province of Menxia.

Soon, all the people who participated in the court meeting were successfully arranged, and there were about more than 10,000 people, and Li Siye was in the position of more than 900. Everyone began to march forward along Longwei Road, the queue was mighty, all of them took the eight-character official steps, and the three rows of officials on the left and right Longwei Road slowly went up along the ramp.

General Wuwei, who was standing in front of the palace, shouted loudly: "Open the palace door!" ”
