Unconsciously, a few days have passed, and Wu Yong has been in Luoyang for more than half a month. Today is the fifteenth day of May, which coincides with the day of Wang, and according to the custom, the Son of Heaven will hold a great court meeting in the Deyang Hall of the North Palace.

Originally, Wu Yong thought that today's court meeting had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that yesterday evening, someone would personally come to the Hou Mansion to pass on the message of the Son of Heaven, asking him to participate in the court meeting tomorrow.

The sky was still pitch black here, and Wu Yong was called up by Cheng Zhao and personally took two maids to help him put on court clothes.

Since that day's family banquet, Zhuo Taijun arranged for four young maidservants to serve Wu Yong's living in the courtyard.

Wu Yong felt that there was only Cheng Zhao alone in the courtyard, and it was very hard every day, so he discussed it with everyone, and everyone agreed.

And the court clothes were sent by Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, yesterday, and he was envious of the people in the Hou Mansion at that time.

At this time, the pilgrimage meeting generally begins at seven o'clock in the night, that is, an hour before sunrise, which is May, and the sunrise is about six o'clock, so the pilgrimage meeting is held around four o'clock in the morning.

Wu Yong habitually looked at the system time, and found that it was only three o'clock at this time, so he yawned and muttered to Cheng Zhao: "It's so early!" I haven't slept yet. Cheng Zhao carefully sorted out his clothes for him, and said with a smile: "It's not early, Mrs. Tai personally ordered yesterday that you must get up at this point, otherwise it will be late for the court." Our Waiting House is a little far from the palace, so we have to get up early. Wu Yong listened to it and joked: "In the future, we will also be officials of 2,000 stones, and live by the palace, so that we don't have to get up early to go to the court." Cheng Zhaobai glanced at him,

"As far as you think, hurry up and put on your court clothes and eat some snacks, Yan Zhan is still waiting outside." The two laughed a few more words, and Wu Yongcai walked out of the gate of the courtyard with a box of delicate snacks.

When Wu Yong arrived in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, he found two gorgeous carriages parked at the main entrance. One is Zhu Zhu's carriage, and the other is the one prepared for him by the Hou Mansion, and Yan Zhan has been driving it all this time.

At this time, Zhu Jun had been waiting for a while, and when he saw Wu Yong coming out, he just nodded to him, and without saying anything, he let the coachman go on the road.

With the help of Cen Sheng, Wu Yong got into the carriage, and Yan Zhan drove to follow Zhu Zhu's carriage in the direction of the palace.

When Wu Yong and his entourage arrived in front of the car gate near the Suzaku Gate of Nangong, there were already many cars and horses here, and it was very noisy.

The carriage slowly stopped in the distance, Wu Yong quietly lifted the curtain and looked around, and there were officials wearing black official robes, long crowns, and various ribbons around their waists.

These people gathered in groups of three or five, talking and laughing in low voices as they walked, and they looked very lively.

After getting off the carriage, Wu Yong first went to the front to greet Zhu Jun, talked a few words, and then followed him to the North Palace.

Since Wu Yong had just come to Luoyang not long ago, he was still the Son of Heaven's attendant, so Wu Yong basically didn't know any of these officials from foreign courts, let alone say hello to people.

But because he was young, many people pointed fingers at him along the way. On the contrary, Zhu Jun in front of him seemed to have a lot of acquaintances, and along the way, from time to time, someone greeted him and said hello

"Waiting", which looks very good. When Wu Yong followed Zhu Jun to the North Palace, a person suddenly jumped out of the crowd, and after seeing Wu Yong, he walked straight over and said, "Dare to ask the junior brother is Wu Yong?" Wu Yong's figure paused slightly, stopped in front, looked at the comer, and asked suspiciously: "I'm Wu Yong, senior brother, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's time for you, the doctor has asked me to wait here for a long time, so come with me to meet a few doctors." This person was overjoyed, and he was about to leave with Wu Yong.

Wu Yong was unmoved, looking at Zhu Jun, waiting for his instructions. Zhu Jun nodded to him with a smile and said, "Go, this is Ban Zhe of Shangshutai, the registered disciple of Xue Zhao, a doctor of poetry." Wu Yong saluted and said, "I've seen Ban Shangshu!" ”

"Senior brother doesn't have to be polite, just call me senior brother in the future!" Ban Zheshu smiled slightly, and then led Wu Yong out of here under the surprised eyes of everyone.

After the two left, a group of people began to surround Zhu Jun and ask questions.

"Wait, that young man just now was the Son of Heaven serving Wu Yong? He participated in the Great Dynasty Meeting at such a young age, what a promising future! ”

"What happened to Ban Zhe just now? He has recently become famous in Shangshutai, and because he is a registered disciple of the doctor, many people he does not pay attention to. Zhu Zhu's head was so loud that everyone was arguing, and before he could figure out how to answer, several other marquis of the five surnamed families also came over.

"Zhu Jun, what's the matter with Wu Yong, why did he come to the Great Dynasty Meeting?"

"Summoned by the Son of Heaven!" Zhu Jun was worried about misunderstanding, so he had to explain it first, and then he talked warmly with everyone.

Wu Yong followed behind Ban Zhe here, and just after walking a short distance, Ban Zhe quietly glanced left and right, suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Wu Yong: "Senior brother, you have made immortal achievements this time, please say a few more good words for your senior brother in front of the Son of Heaven in the future!" When Wu Yong heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior brother is serious!" A few days after the kid arrived in Luoyang, although he was selected as the Son of Heaven's attendant, he was humble and shallow, and he didn't dare to say more in front of the Son of Heaven! Listening to Wu Yong's words, Ban Zheshu's expression changed slightly, and when he looked at Wu Yong, there was a faint hint of envy, and he pondered for a long time, and then laughed and said: "Senior brother misunderstood, I mean, if the Son of Heaven inquires, you will say that I am your senior brother." As the two spoke, they came to a group of people.

Wu Yong practiced archery every day, and his eyesight was extraordinary, and he could see at a glance the fourteen doctors of the Five Classics in the crowd.

At this time, Ban Zhe stepped forward and said respectfully: "Doctor, Wu Yong has arrived." ”

"Let him come." At the sound of an order, the crowd naturally divided their way. Wu Yong walked up to the fourteen doctors and saluted respectfully: "Boy Wu Yong, meet all the doctors. ”

"Haha, your kid is here today, did you hear that the old man is going to give you credit in person for a while, so I can't wait?" Dr. Mu Yu of "Shangshu" patted Wu Yong's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile.

Wu Yong was confused, but he didn't ask much, just said honestly: "Why did the doctor say this? Yesterday, the Son of Heaven sent an edict to let the boy participate in today's court meeting, but did not explain the reason. ”

"Oh, it turns out that you don't know yet, and the old man can't even say it, I'll keep it as a surprise for your kid later." Mu Yu stroked his beard and said.

Next, all the doctors talked to Wu Yong, and the surrounding crowd was quite red-eyed, and it was the first time they had seen fourteen doctors of the Five Classics so amiable to a junior teenager at the same time.

As he spoke, the sky gradually brightened, and soon a red sun gradually rose in the eastern sky. And at this moment, there was a sudden burst in everyone's ears

The drum beat of "Dong Dong Dong", followed by the door of the North Palace suddenly and slowly opened, and then a group of people walked out of the palace, led by a person wearing a black deep coat and a crown of heaven.

This confessor slowly came to the officials, glanced around at everyone, and said loudly: "The hour has come, and the hundred officials of the Xuan Gongqing will go to the Deyang Hall to meet you!" ”

"Only~" Everyone agreed in unison, and then under the guidance of the confessors, they entered the palace gate in order according to the size of their official positions.

Originally, Wu Yong didn't know where his position was, but Mu Yu asked Wu Yong to be with him, and the confessor just glanced at Wu Yong, and didn't say anything, and let everyone in.

Just a few minutes' walk away, the group came to the Deyang Hall in the center of the North Palace. At this time, a ceremonial official slowly walked out of the Deyang Palace, and the ceremonial official was rumored

"Enter the temple

The civil and military officials marched forward in order and in order, climbed the steps, and entered the Deyang Hall in order. When Wu Yongxing arrived at the gate of Deyang, he found that there were guards searching here. Without any waves, all the officials entered the temple and stood in their places, waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven. About half a stick of incense less than a time to hear, a loud chanting: "The auspicious time is coming, the Son of Heaven is coming, and the princes will see you." Subsequently, the bells and drums in the Deyang Hall rang out in unison, the ritual music played, and Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was dressed in a black gown, wearing twelve crowns, and slowly walked into the hall surrounded by several eunuchs.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials bowed down and bowed in unison to welcome the arrival of the Son of Heaven. In the worship of many ministers, Liu Hong also walked to the center of the hall, slowly sat down in front of the imperial case, and then, looking around at everyone, waved his sleeves and said: "The ministers are exempt from the courtesy, give the seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The hundred officials and ministers bowed again, and then, according to their respective positions, they quickly found a couch on both sides of the hall and sat down.

At the same time, Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Wu Yong, who was constantly looking for a seat, this was not Liu Hong's intention, it was really Wu Yong who was too conspicuous among the hundreds of officials and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Therefore, he smiled and said to Wu Yong: "Wu Shiyu, why did you run to the hall to find a seat again, didn't I tell you that I stood by my side when I was in the court." ”

"Brush!" The eyes of all the officials and ministers in the hall shot towards Wu Yong, making him sharp on his back, so he stiffened his head, walked to Liu Hong's side, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the first time the minister participated in the court meeting, he forgot his identity for a while, so he messed up." Liu Hong listened, a little crying and laughing, then waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Even if it is this time, I have not explained it clearly, and if there is a meeting in the future, you will follow me." Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say something, but there was an inappropriate voice in the hall.

"Your Majesty, no!" Liu Hong looked at the person who spoke, but saw that it was an old minister, so he asked kindly: "Why can't Qing Yan?" The old minister of Huajia bowed his hand and said: "Liyun: morality and righteousness, incivility is not successful, the lesson is orthodox, and the incivility is not prepared." Divide disputes and defend lawsuits, and indecent indecisiveness. Fathers and sons, brothers and sons, indecencies. The eunuch is a teacher, indecent and indecent. The Ban Dynasty governs the army, and the officials do the law, and it is not good to be indecent and majestic. Therefore, in the eyes of the old minister, Wu Shiyu entered the palace with the Son of Heaven, which was not in line with the etiquette, so he opposed it. Liu Hong thought for a while, turned to Wu Yong and said, "In this case, I will take back what I just said, and you should enter the palace with the hundred officials and ministers in the future." ”

"Follow Your Majesty's Sacred Words!" Wu Yong dared to say a word. Then Liu Hong said to the old minister: "If you can point out my inappropriateness, you should be rewarded!" Write it down left and right, and give ten silk horses. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the old minister finished speaking, he retreated to his seat.
