The palace doors on both sides of Longwei Road were wide open, and the officials rushed in, dozens of huge pillars supported the structure of the main hall, but unfortunately he happened to stand outside the door, and he could only see the huge pillars arranged to the depths, as for what it looked like on the steps of His Majesty, the emperor was wearing the sixteenth Ming Huang Gong crown or the big Qiu crown, which he did not know.

He was lucky, most of the officials could only stand on the spreading dragon head road, or look at it from a distance on the long straight road, and it was only a few hundred meters from where they stood to the center of the main hall, but it took a lifetime to climb even this short few hundred meters.

The palace shows the vast majesty of the imperial power, but also exaggerates the insignificance of the officials, in this rising sun, such as in the palace of Xiao Han, the only thing they can feel is their own weakness. The Emperor's majesty was second only to the Heavenly Palace above the Nine Heavens. Li Siye looked at it with different eyes, and he could also feel a kind of pressure to be looked down on.

"Salute!"

Voices in the palace shouted through alternations, and the officials began to do that move, stepping on the left leg, high-five, stepping on the right leg, high-five, and then bowing down.

"Boss!"

10,000 people shouted in unison: "I wish Your Majesty a long life, long live my emperor!" ”

"Worship and dance!"

The sound of chimes and horns came from nowhere, and it was the most embarrassing part, but the dozen or so people in front of him did not feel embarrassed at all, and looked down at their feet and began to beat, swaying their bodies from side to side, and then turning around and jumping three hundred and sixty degrees.

"Rite over!"

"Lingbao from the sky, change the yuan and take up the new position! Hundreds of officials go to the table to congratulate! ”

Of course, you have to ask the three divisions and three princes to present the congratulatory table first, but there are no living three divisions and three princes in this dynasty, the highest grade is the prince, then the princes, and then the princes, and then the princes, the princes, the princes, the princes, the The highest rank among the civil and military officials is Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, the so-called three grades under the Zhongshu Sect.

Next, the three provinces and six departments began to put on the table, and the number of congratulatory tables is estimated to be more than a foot high, only the upper table of the Zhongshu Ling and the servant will be read out in front of the civil and military officials in the court, and what Li Siye can hear outside the hall is only a faint voice like a fly.

You don't have to think about the content of the greeting table, it is the most unnutritious word to praise merit, and the right minister will add some happy numbers to the table to increase the persuasiveness, such as how many households have increased in the country, how much the population has increased, how much grain has been produced, how much silk has been produced, and so on.

After the hundred officials congratulated the watch, they heard a eunuch shouting loudly: "The states pay tribute." ”

The tribute does not have to be carried to the main hall, it has already entered the royal treasury, and only a few representative tributes are selected to attract the emperor's attention, such as Yue kiln celadon, Sancai, Persian glazed cup, Tibetan yak, Uighur white camel, Gaochang tribute wine, Khotanese mutton fat jade, and southern coral, and Kunlun slaves paid tribute in Guangzhou.

There are 631 states in the world, and 800 states in the bondage, and every state has a tribute, and every state has to go in and read out the list. The red sun gradually rose to the sky, Li Siye only stood with his legs sore, his stomach was so hungry that his chest was close to his heart, and he was paying tribute for two whole hours, and the sage probably heard the calluses in his ears when he heard these treasures.

The third item of the Great Dynasty Meeting was finally carried out, rewarding and promoting civil and military generals who had made meritorious contributions in the past year. This procedure has been simplified, and there is no need for the officials to go up one by one to thank the emperor, and after reading it, they will kneel down to thank the emperor, well, and dance once. Otherwise, the court will not be able to finish until the afternoon.

A eunuch with a loud voice stood beside the imperial steps, unfolded the dense yellow thick paper, and began to read out the reward.

Zhongshu ordered Li Linfu to be the right minister and the left servant, and Niu Xianke was the left minister, and he was also the secretary of the military department. The twelve generals of the Guards have their own appointments and dismissals, and the six armies of the Northern Ya also have their own financial rewards, and the envoys of the festival are appointed, and the governors of each state are promoted and lowered......

Li Siye vaguely heard his name, but another hour had passed, and it was already noon, and he couldn't even raise his interest in listening to it.

Then I heard a shout from inside the palace gate: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Bow down! ”

All those who were promoted and rewarded without rewards bowed down, and then stood up and danced, this time the worship dance was more exciting, and the dance was more amplitude, so as to show the courtiers' gratitude to the emperor for the reward.

"The envoys of the state of the state, the envoys of the provinces, the history of the assassins of the states, the princes and grandsons, the meritorious heroes, and the banquet of the Linde Palace!"

Most of the Beijing officials were eliminated from the banquet group, but there were more than 3,000 people left, and they headed towards the Inner Dynasty Lin De Palace.

Lin De Hall is located in the Daming Palace, on the side of the Hanlin Courtyard, it is the place of the state banquet, the area scale is far better than the Hanyuan Palace, there are two eaves of the three halls in the front, middle and back, there is a corridor connection built on the high platform between the three halls, and the green tile winds up.

Li Siye looked at the queue from afar, this behemoth hall is adjacent to the Taiye Pond in the east, the top of the heavy eaves is reflected in the water, the green tiles cover half of the lake, and the densely arranged pillars are like stars.

This time they entered the largest nave in the Linde Palace, with hundreds of pillars, a caisson on the top of their heads, a palace veil several zhang long hanging to the ground, and nearly a thousand palace eunuchs and maids standing and waiting. The hall was dotted with vermilion long cases that could be used for twelve people to sit opposite each other, and the officials were seated in order of formation, this time Li Siye was lined up to more than 400, and sitting at the same table with him were several envoys and commanders of the prefecture.

He looked up from afar, and there was a yellow silk table on the high platform facing north of the main hall, and the emperor knelt in front of the desk, holding his green beard and looking at the courtiers in front of him with satisfaction. The saint must have thought in his heart that as long as the meal was eaten well, this great court meeting would be considered a success.

At their table, two eunuchs worked together to carry the staple food on the long table, a willow dustpan three feet long, and in it were stacked with crispy yellow flax flatbread, as high as a hill. Then the two of them carried a wooden plate like a door, which was piled with thinly sliced mutton, and then a large wooden barrel like a gong barrel, in which a horse spoon was placed. Immediately afterwards, he carried a plate of cold vegetables, as if it was the cold skin he offered, but who had ever seen the cold skin in a container several feet long? When Li Siye saw this thing, he saw the horse feed trough for feeding the horses.

It is worthy of the Tang Dynasty, even the utensils used to serve meals are like this...... Atmosphere.

The palace maids held plates, bowls and lamps for everyone, and each person had a pair of chopsticks, which was a bit of a buffet. None of the people moved their chopsticks, but just craned their necks and looked up at the emperor sitting on the high platform.

Li Longji had already taken off the bloated and luxurious crown on his body, changed into a bright yellow regular clothes, wore a golden lotus crown on his head, inserted a meridian hairpin in the back, looked at the officials below with a squint, and suddenly asked: "Does the Hanlin Academy have poems and texts for the banquet day?"

One of the people in the banquet stood up with a wine cup in his hand and offered a poem to Li Longji, Li Siye pointed to the person in a low voice and asked the people around him, "Who is this person?" Do you know? ”

"Li Bai, the newly entered Chang'an, is talented and very favored in front of the saints."

"It's not just talented, he ......" Li Siye didn't continue, but stared at Li Bai with fascination, the other party was wearing a light green court robe and a golden crown, in the crowd of countless crowns. He is unique and graceful, and this figure has turned countless people into a background board, even the magnificent Lin De Palace.

He knew that this was just a psychological phenomenon, and if this person was not Li Bai, or didn't know his name, he wouldn't have such a different sense. Li Bai was holding his long beard and reading out his poems, which seemed to have attracted the praise of everyone around him and the praise of the saints, and he couldn't hear what he was reading.

Gao Lishi stood beside the emperor and shouted, "Feast!" ”
