Chapter 22: The Great Gathering (3)
The brocade officials avoided these people who knelt on the ground like snakes and scorpions, and could only scold them, and refused to accept their folded copies. The mentality of seeing death and not saving is spreading among these middle-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, and these middle- and low-level petty officials are thinking, let them kneel down like this, sooner or later there will be others who will pity these people, and these others will tell the emperor about the matter of the people's writing to the emperor.
The people knelt in disarray, some of them were so hungry that they could not sit on their knees and fell down, and some of them groaned from time to time because of their old age and infirmity......
In the Forbidden City, after the civil and military officials stood in shift, there was a white face without tall eunuchs out of the Huangji Gate, he held a yellow silk wrapped red sandalwood handle python skin tanned static whip in his hand, the whip body is one foot three feet long, the whip tip is three feet long, three inches wide, the whole body is stained with wax, and there is a one-foot-long vermilion lacquer rosewood handle, engraved with a dragon head, covered with gold lacquer.
He walked to the corner of the Danqi and stood still, bent his knees and raised his hands like a dance, waved the Jing Whip effortlessly, let the whip body circle gracefully in the air a few times, and suddenly jerked hard, and the crisp whip sound immediately resounded through the clear sky;
Suddenly, there was silence in the noon gate, only the honor guards on both sides of the royal road, and the weather in the Forbidden City was myriad.
After half a cup of tea, the internal official paged loudly and loudly, "Arrived!"
I saw the oncoming Ming Emperor Chongzhen, wearing a winged crown of gold silk inlaid with two dragons spitting pearls, wearing a round-necked embroidered dragon yellow robe, with a slight melancholy on his face, he was surrounded by a large group of eunuchs in gorgeous costumes, riding on the chariot.
The guide officials, composed of four people each from Hanlin, Zhongshu, Ke, and Dao, led out from outside the Huangji Gate, and they bowed back step by step, guiding the dragon chariot to the throne. The civil and military officials all bowed their heads and did not dare to look up.
Chongzhen unhurriedly descended the dragon chariot, and several small yellow doors guided the emperor to ascend to the throne.
This exquisite throne, also known as the golden platform, is made of red sandalwood with gold silk nan wood carving, which can be called a crown of art treasures. Three feet away from the imperial case, there is a small railing carved from vermilion lacquer and gold silk nanmu, the intention of which is to prevent a certain official from kneeling on the ground and suddenly approaching the throne to touch the wrong way.
When Emperor Chongzhen slowly climbed the golden platform and sat down on the dragon chair, there were three eunuchs, one of whom was holding the umbrella cover of the yellow satin embroidered golden dragon, and the other two strong eunuchs, holding two yellow Luo fans made of peacock feathers, came up from His Majesty on the east and west sides, and then stood quietly behind Emperor Chongzhen. In ancient times, the word "Majesty" referred to the steps of the imperial palace, and His Majesty originally referred to the attendants standing at the foot of the steps. When the courtiers speak to the Son of Heaven, they can't call the Son of Heaven by name, if you dare to shout, "Zhu Youzhen, let's go back to Quanjude for a roast duck?" Therefore, the courtiers must first call the attendants under the stage to respect and then tell him, so that over time, the word "Majesty" has become an honorific title for dealing with the emperor face-to-face. Therefore, the little brothers and sisters who are interested in crossing in the future remember well, when you see the emperor, you must not sell cuteness to kneel down and call Your Majesty, otherwise you will learn to sell cuteness together with the cute plot, you will not be poor for a lifetime, you will be pulled to the field and clicked off, because the click outside the noon gate is the click of the minister, the low-level officials click to go to the vegetable market, and the shameful end of selling cute is to rub and click in the field.
The tall and handsome eunuchs put the yellow umbrella on the throne, and the two yellow Luo fans were crossed behind Emperor Chongzhen.
If the inner detectives and dogs see which of the ministers, trying to take advantage of the imperial case, delusionally want to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then well, the plan is that the two eunuchs holding the Huang Luo fan only need to move their hands, and the colorful peacock feathers will automatically fly down, revealing a bright and cold blade from the handle of the fan, and then it is poke, poke, poke.
In fact, the three of them are the penultimate defense system, and there are also nine brocade wrestlers, who hold five umbrella covers and four fans, standing behind the throne and on the left and right...... I ask you if the officials who are powerless are afraid, in fact, the emperor is not at ease with these people, so he simply asks them to stand under His Majesty Dan......; That's right, just click off his little brother from a young age, and then you can stand behind you, do you want to be cute with a creature like the emperor?
It was a voice that interrupted your thoughts, and a dignified, magnificent, and loud Hongswelling temple official stepped out to stand on the minaret and began to sing: "Bow to the class!"
After listening to the civil and military officials, they immediately faced Jintai, according to the praise of the Honglu Temple Xuanhui, whether you are the emperor's second father or Xiaoyanza, you must dance rhythmically, perform a bow and three kowtows, and then stand in shifts.
In most cases, it will be the first time that today's students on duty will be the first to go out of work, and they will talk about the attendance and demeanor of the Ming Dynasty ministers in the morning, just like today, there is a correction of the imperial history out of the class and knelt down and played: "Today, there is a certain department in charge of the old king, when he stands up, he will hold the wat wat in his hand to the ground, and the matter is out of order, and it should be asked." Please!"
Chongzhen has been teasing the snowman for several days, feeding the fish in the middle of the night, and almost sleepless last night, so he looked tired and only whispered a few words, and most of the ministers didn't hear what the emperor was forcing him.
I saw a handsome eunuch with a beautiful face, wearing a round-necked red Luo court robe, a blue parrot complement, and a gold belt around his waist, who was in charge of preaching to the court, took a few steps forward from the throne, amplified the voice-changing female voice to a deafening level, and then loudly delivered the decree: "The emperor decrees: If you think of him as unintentional, you don't need to ask questions; Shane!"
Chongzhen's hands and feet floated, seemed to be very anxious, he wanted to end this court meeting quickly, lest it be a complication, he looked at the following two eyes absentmindedly, he didn't expect that he casually wandered around twice, someone went out of the class to die, he saw an old minister over sixty years old, staggered out of the class, and then he was not afraid of pain, so he "coo" and prostrate on the ground, and played in a trembling voice: "Weichen old king, the court class lost its honor, and the crime should be ten thousand deaths!"
Then he burst into tears and shouted in a trembling voice: "Hooray! Hurrah!"
