Chapter 1826: Sycophant Time
"Actually, it's not that I have the wisdom to read people, but the old man and Mr. Bai Qing, didn't he write many of the letters between your boss and Yanyun County before? When the old man and Mr. Bai Qing saw each other, they both praised him, saying that his kid was a rare talent, and they wanted him to go to Yanyun County. Xiao Yu said.
"Lin Qi is a talent, but he can't go to our Yanyun County." Xiao Chen said.
"Why?" Xiao Yu said.
"Because Lin Dongyang may be going out of the mountain again in the near future, he is an official here, but Lin Qi came to us to talk like this?" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh......" Xiao Yu was a little disappointed, "The people who get along with him these days have become brothers, and they are reluctant to part at first glance." ”
"That's not necessarily, we will have a lot of time in Fengyang in the future, if Lin Dongyang becomes the place, then Lin Qi will definitely stay in the capital in the future." Xiao Chen said.
"That's a good feeling!" Xiao Yu said, "It's just Lin Qi and he ......"
"He doesn't know my true identity, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this kid not only has the ability, but also has the right feelings, which is the most valuable." Xiao Chen said, "Okay, the imperial city is in front of you, you all go back, you should make up for sleep, you should go out to play, I will work overtime today, and you will have a holiday." ”
"Hey, isn't this Master Hou?" As soon as Xiao Chen arrived at the gate of the palace, he came from afar to greet him, "The little one has a New Year's greeting for you!" ”
"Why did Master Hou come alone?" Nishimura Zhicun also came to greet the New Year, "The New Year's is also a light car!" ”
"On behalf of our Supreme Majesty the Queen, I would like to extend my most cordial New Year's greetings to Lord Hou." Petroevsky also came over to say hello.
"Hahaha, why are you dressed like this?" Xiao Chen was happy when he saw him.
Because today is a pilgrimage of hundreds of officials, all the ministers and ambassadors of foreign embassies have also arrived, and in order to show their sincerity in following the customs of the country, they have also changed into red official robes.
Namandu Nishimura Zhicun is an Eastern face, and there is no sense of disobedience when they wear official robes, but Petroevsky looks awkward.
How to say it, it's like a plate of dog meat in a delicate Jingdezhen porcelain, and it doesn't become a table!
"Marquis Xiao, take a step to speak." Petroevsky pulled Xiao Chen aside and whispered, "Our queen wants to come to Fengyang City to meet the emperor of the Great Zhou, but I still want to see you before I see him, I don't know when you will go back to Yanyun County?" ”
"What is she doing here?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know about this, but I think it might have something to do with things in the West, right?" Petroevsky said, "You know Marquis Xiao, our relationship with the English is not very friendly, I mean, they are also the enemies of our Great Zhou now, aren't they?" ”
"Oh...... I may not go back to Yanyun in the near future, but if Angel comes, we may be able to meet in Fengyang City. Xiao Chen said, "Is this an official visit or a secret visit?" ”
"It's supposed to be a secret visit, after all, our previous relationship ...... It's a little subtle. Petroevsky said, "Now I haven't informed Da Zhou about this matter, Marquis Xiao, do you think there is any risk for our queen to come here?" ”
"There will never be." Xiao Chen said, "In fact, if Angelken comes over in person, our emperor will be very happy, she should come by sea, right?" Tell me before you come out, and I'll send a fleet to pick her up and escort her. ”
"That's great." Petroevsky busied.
After a while, the main gate was opened, and the big guy rushed in, all the way through the noon gate, and came to the Qianqing Palace, and the gate of the Qianqing Palace was also rarely opened, because the emperor was going to leave the palace later.
The gate is open, but the ministers can't go, they can only go to the left gate, because only the emperor can walk through the middle gate.
In fact, the emperor rarely walks through this gate, usually the court is the back door, and only when a grand ceremony is held, such as the enthronement ceremony, the marriage ceremony, and then the sacrificial ceremony.
In addition to the emperor, there are three people who can leave the palace, that is, the champion of the new department, Bangyan, and Tanhua, which can be regarded as the supreme glory of scholars......
With the shout of Wei Tingyu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, the ministers bowed to the ground together, and the mountain shouted long live.
Li Wanjiang on the dragon chair also changed into a brand new dragon robe today, and he looked much more energetic, waiting for the courtiers to kneel and bow, and then smiled and signaled to the public to calm down.
The flat body is a flat body, but there is no seat, firstly, this is not a meeting to discuss the court, it is just a ceremony, and secondly, there are too many people, standing is crowded, let alone sitting, there are not so many chairs......
Next is the highlight, that is, the time to pat the sycophants, because to greet the emperor for the New Year, the big guy always has to say something auspicious.
But you can't directly say that the emperor has a good New Year, the emperor is healthy, and his longevity is boundless, or he still has to organize the language, and he can't be too straightforward.
For example, Zhu Xiaochuan said, 'Pu Zai filial piety, will be in Ning, civil and military officials, crown and sword in the court, fight for Emperor Zhai, wind and hail its zero, wind and hail, hook Chen leopard's tail, dragon flag is too often, Li Lie Bibi......
Xiao Chen is, 'The emperor lives on the road, and the hundred are second, as for Gu Dan, the emperor enters the Ling Palace, hits Huang Zhong on the left, ascends to the jade, the sun is angry, Hong Hong Gao, and the atmosphere is swept ......
Wang Anbang is, 'The ministers of the ancestral hall, the hooves lift the heron, or hold the scarf, or enter the scarf. Complement the guide, bow down the scales, Gui Chan to Chen, sing to even, east to the void, Fa Jue kiss ......'
Liu Qiheng is, 'Yu Sidu people, Yu Shi women, Yu Shi barbarians, the same language, the Son of Heaven for ten thousand years, the lord of benevolence and sainthood, the minister of the book, and the salty things, dare to broadcast poems, and hear the nine soils......
The sycophants are quite high-level, and Li Wanjiang is also very happy to hear it, touching his beard and nodding with a smile, very approvingly.
In fact, this kind of grand ceremony is purely a special formality, which not only the ministers are tired, but the emperor is also affected.
It is said that Li Wanjiang also kept the year yesterday, and he has not closed his eyes until now, that is, the emperor is in good health, otherwise he may be able to fall asleep listening to the carol at this time.
But this is a rule that has been handed down through the ages, no matter who is the emperor, he must engage in this set, which is called following the ancient system, and no one dares to abolish it, and Li Wanjiang does not dare.
By the time the whole New Year's ceremony was over, it was already dark, Xiao Chen came back and ate a few dumplings, and fell asleep.
Since the second year of junior high school, it is the real holiday, and the big guys have just begun to officially visit relatives and friends.
Xiao Chen was already hospitable and had many friends, and since the early morning of the second day of junior high school, the family has not been broken.
When people came to greet him, he also saw him, and he didn't count if he saw him, he had to accompany him to eat and drink.
I have to go back to worship, and I have to go to other people's houses to eat and drink.
Until the end of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Chen did not find the feeling of resting for the New Year...... Damn!
