Meng Chun March is coming in a flash.

At the end of the day, under the leadership of Wei Tai Changqing (1) Lord Wei, three hundred tributes passed through the hundred corridors and gathered in front of the main gate of the imperial city, waiting in order according to the ranking of the examination.

The Kyoto guard on duty in front of the gate conducted a routine search.

The Gongshi, who was sure to be correct, stepped into the main gate of the imperial city and followed closely behind Wei Tai Changqing.

The people in front continued to walk forward, and the people in the back continued to be searched, perhaps because there were many people, it did not affect the pace of Wei Tai Changqing at all.

Although all those who pass the examination can participate in the temple examination, not all those who participate in the temple examination are not necessarily the tributes of this year.

After taking the examination, some tributes would have to give up the opportunity of that year due to worries, illness, etc., and take the next palace examination instead.

The road from the main gate of the imperial city to the gate of Huitian, there are 26 rooms on the left and right sides.

After passing through the Huitian Gate, three doorways can be seen, Wei Tai Changqing did not hesitate, and walked into the doorway on the left with all the tributes.

It was also after entering this doorway that many people found that this passage was built on the far left side of the front square.

This former square is a place where the emperor used to worship heaven and earth, pray for a good harvest, and the peace of the country and the people, and it is also the place where Kyoto guards usually train.

As far as the eye can see, there is a long pavilion on both sides of the front square, but the long pavilion on the opposite side is too far away, even if you look closely, you can only see a shadow like a long dragon.

I don't know where it leads......

There is a door hole at the end of the long pavilion, and above the door hole, there are three big characters of "Zhonggong Gate", which are extremely conspicuous.

After coming to the middle palace gate, there are two floors built parallel to each other, and the line is divided into three walkways.

In the middle of this is a compound road for the laying of organs, which is reserved for the use of the emperor; The aisle on the left was used by the princes and marquises; The aisle on the right was for the courtiers.

When I walked here, I didn't feel tired.

After passing through the last road, the tributes, under the leadership of Wei Tai Changqing, finally stopped in front of a dark gate.

This dark gate is the largest palace gate in the palace, the three words "Changtian Gate" stand on the gate, and the face is solemn and solemn, so that people can't help but even breathe a little lighter.

At this time, the black gate was still closed, and when the morning sun rose, there was a burst of drumming around it, and the gate slowly opened.

The candidates standing in front of the square continued to pass through the Changtian Gate, stepped on the ninety-nine steps of the ladder, and stood in front of His Majesty Dan in the square in front of Shangyang Palace.

The examiners and examiners headed by Taichang and dozens of deacons stood on His Majesty Dan, and after accepting the visits of all the candidates, they waited for the arrival of the emperor.

Qu Taichang (2) saw that although the tributes were slightly bowed, they were full of energy and thoughtful manners, so they couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Wei Tai Chang Qing walked in front of Qu Tai Chang and said in a low voice: "My lord, this year's tribute has been brought, and there are three hundred people in total. ”

Qu Taichang touched his beard, waved his hand and said, "I know, you go to the back!" ”

"No." Wei Tai Chang Qing bowed and saluted, then walked behind Qu Taichang and stood still.

At the moment, Emperor Fenghe was dressed in a black crown robe, wearing a crown on his head, although his expression was plain, but his eyes were like torches, he stepped into Shangyang Palace, and walked to the top place.

He was followed by the head of the palace who served Emperor Fenghe's daily life, and after arranging the clothes for Emperor Fenghe, he got up and stood aside, and said, "Xuan, all the lords and all the tributes are here." ”

Hearing this, several examiners led by Wei Taichang were the first to enter the main hall, while the rest followed them in an orderly manner.

Before coming, these candidates were told the basic etiquette in the palace, and there were examiners in front of them to set an example, but no one made a mistake.

I saw the crowd kneeling on the ground, bowing and bowing their hands......
