"Your Majesty is coming~"

"Greetings to all officials~"

With a long period of mute singing, the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace finally ushered in the arrival of Liu Bang, the son of heaven.

"Ministers worship Your Majesty~"

"I only wish Your Majesty a long life and a long life~"

The hundreds of officials in the hall bowed in unison, and Liu Bang's voice finally appeared at the door of the palace.

"Hmm."

Seeing Liu Bang walk into the hall, he didn't see the slightest intention of bowing his hand in return, and under the greeting of hundreds of officials and courtiers in the palace, he walked straight from the palace door to the palace, and sat down on the royal couch above.

"Sit down."

Another lukewarm order, when the courtiers and officials sat down on the east and west sides of the hall, Liu Bang straightened up and looked at everyone in the hall.

Unlike later generations of courtiers who listened to the hadith or knelt on the ground, the court of the Han family still retained a large part of the etiquette of the Warring States.

Take the Changxin Hall at this time, for example, Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, sits in the north and faces south, and sits on the top.

On the feast laid on the east and west sides, there are hundreds of officials and princes sitting opposite each other, and in front of each person, there is a short table three feet long and two feet wide.

On ordinary days, there are usually a few rolls of bamboo slips on the low table, either to record the content of the courtier's report, or to prepare blank bamboo slips for hundreds of officials to record the content of the court meeting.

As for the queen Lu Pheasant and the crown prince Liu Ying, they are on both sides of Liu Bang, a little lower, and they also sit in the north and face south, facing the center of the main hall.

Glancing at Lu Pheasant in front of him on the right with a slight gloom, Liu Bang was about to look at the center of the hall, when he caught a glimpse of the front left, kneeling on the feast behind the feast, there seemed to be a few more elderly figures?

"Huh?"

Subconsciously let out a low voice of doubt, Liu Bang couldn't help but turn sideways, and looked at the old men with a slightly stiff face.

"I don't know how many ......?"

Without waiting for Liu Bang to think about how to ask, he saw the four old men turn around together, bow their hands solemnly, and bow deeply to Liu Bang.

"Min Tang Bing, Cui Guang, Wu Shi, Zhou Shu, I would like to bow to Your Majesty."

The hoarse words of worship were uttered, and the four old men put down the dove staff in their hands and made a gesture to kneel down.

"Hiss!!"

When Liu Bang was stretching out his hand to help, in the huge Changxin Palace, the Hundred Officials couldn't help but gasp!

"Dongyuan Gong Tang Bing, Xia Huang Gong Cui Guang, Qili Ji Wu Shi, Lu (lù) Li Mr. Zhou Shu ......"

"Shangshan Sihao !!!!!"

Just listening to the names of the four people, the hundred officials in the hall couldn't help but stretch their necks, wanting to see the face of the reclusive celebrity!

On the royal steps, Liu Bang got up from the imperial couch with a stiff face, and pulled the four old men up before their knees touched the ground.

"Never, never!"

After the four old men straightened up with a little hesitation, Liu Bang straightened his hat a little and bowed his hand.

"The four gentlemen are famous, and they are close to old age, and I think I am the king of the world, and I can't afford to bow down to all gentlemen......"

As he spoke, Liu Bang forced himself to put down his awkward mood and bowed his hand to the four old men a little to express his respect.

Seeing that Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, was like this, everyone in the hall naturally had no reason to continue to sit down, and couldn't help but get up one after another and bow to the four old men under the imperial steps.

"Wait for the last and the last, I would like to pay tribute to all gentlemen!"

In a moment, in the huge Changxin Hall, there were suddenly hundreds of meritorious courtiers who bowed down.

Seeing this, Liu Yingzi had already gotten up from the banquet and humbly stepped aside.

And at an angle that no one noticed, Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, lowered his head slightly, looking at the four dove canes that were picked up from the ground by the four old men and held tightly in their hands, his face was visibly darkened.

——In today's Han Dynasty, the dove cane means the three elders of the township, and it means the old man who is highly respected and can lead the people to goodness!

And the four dove sticks in front of him were given by Liu Bang himself......

"I don't know what to do with old things!!"

With an angry scolding in his heart, Liu Bang also reluctantly put on a fairly gentle smile and motioned for the four old men to sit down.

After Liu Bang sat back on the imperial couch, the hundred officials in the hall looked around for a while, and then knelt down in their respective seats.

But among the hundreds of officials, especially the courtier train in Xixi, except for Xiao He, who flirted with several old ministers who could remain calm, the rest of them showed a reverence that could not be concealed!

Looking at all this, Liu Bang's already not beautiful mood suddenly became even worse......

"The four gentlemen do not eat Qin Su, live in seclusion in Shangshan, and their reputation is far and wide, and they are respected by people all over the world."

"I was ordered by the heavens to destroy the tyrannical Qin on behalf of the heavens, and then punished Xiang Yu, Zang Tu and other tyrannical kings to establish Han Zuo, and it has been five years so far."

As if casually, Liu Bang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked meaningfully at the front left, and the four old men sitting on either side of Liu Ying were sitting upright.

"However, I have repeatedly sent ministers from the DPRK and China to ask for the four gentlemen to help me support the people by learning what they have learned."

"I don't know why the gentlemen have repeatedly rejected my invitations?"

"Could it be that the millet of Han is not as sweet as the fragrance of Qin Su?"

As he spoke, Liu Bang glanced at Liu Ying, who had just sat back at the banquet, and looked at the four old men with a light smile again.

"Today, why do you gentlemen go out of the mountains to help the prince?"

"Could it be that I am the emperor, not as wise as the crown prince?"

"I doubt that I think that the Son of Heaven is not enough to represent the herdsmen of Heaven and ?!! the world"

In the end, Liu Bang's tone has been unconsciously raised, and it will reach the level of 'roaring'.

Reflecting this, Liu Bang's face froze slightly, and he couldn't help but quickly return to his previous indifferent complexion.

"Gentlemen, I am just a little surprised, so I have this question."

"If you don't want to answer, I won't force it."

After saying that, Liu Bang turned around slowly and methodically, and looked meaningfully at the courtiers and officials in the hall, who were still with reverence on their faces.

Hearing Liu Bang's series of implicit questions, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel anxious!

Just as he was about to come out of his way to defend himself, he saw a light cough not far away.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Following the prestige, I saw Lu Pheasant's face indifferent, and while wiping the corners of his mouth, he glared at Liu Ying sharply!

"Whew~"

"Don't speak, don't speak!"

"No matter what Liu Bang says, he won't answer ......"

Secretly calming down her anxious mind, Liu Ying quietly turned around, facing the courtiers and officials, and her face was dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at the four old men pointedly, and then followed Liu Ying's appearance, sat at the bottom of the side of the imperial couch, and installed a clay statue.

At this moment, the four old men finally came to their senses, looked at each other for a while, and then stood by Cui Guang, who was known as Huangshi Gong, and gave up his hand tremblingly.

"Your Majesty's words, it's bad."

"Your Majesty has repeatedly recruited the people to join the government, and the people are sincerely afraid."

As he spoke, Cui Guang raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to his mouth and nose.

"However, the ministers are old, and they can't ...... all their words."

"......Boom, Boom, T

Halfway through his words, Huangshi Gong Cui Guang suddenly stopped talking and coughed violently.
