The next morning, before dawn, Wang Cheng had already come to Qixinglou with a large number of eunuchs and forbidden army attendants, and he didn't inform Zhuge Buyi, the owner of the integration of this hotel and inn, and went straight into Yu Rongdu's small courtyard.

Clothes, Wang Cheng brought, it was an extremely cumbersome, complex and luxurious outfit, if it weren't for the attendants brought by Wang Cheng from the palace, Pan's mother and daughter alone might not be able to wait for him to put them on, let alone wear them himself. From a certain Cheng dù, Yu Rongdu is now considered an emperor, and this kind of treatment is understandable.

Yu Rongdu had never experienced this kind of court meeting in ancient times, so he naturally didn't know what the rules were, he thought that this kind of clothes was specially worn for the court meeting, and he didn't take it seriously, but just carefully asked Wang Cheng about today's process. It wasn't until today that he knew that the so-called Great Dynasty Meeting was not unique to the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a long history.

The great court meeting held at the beginning of the year began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the court meeting with the highest standard etiquette was established from the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, and it has been the most important thing in the court in all dynasties.

The Great Dynasty Meeting, that is, the civil and military officials met the emperor, and the Great Dynasty Meeting of the Northern Song Dynasty was set on New Year's Day, the first day of the Lunar New Year. In fact, it actually started on the night of the 30th night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. All the cultural relics in Beijing have to accompany the emperor to keep the New Year, and then the next morning the civil and military officials wear court clothes according to their respective grades in order of combat strength, and the people from all over the country also bow down under the leadership of the local Xie Yuan. Then there are various localities, vassal states, or ministers, and even Buddhism and Taoism to make tributes.

Compared with the later Ming Dynasty, which had to reward the tributes of the vassal states in various places, the Song Dynasty was undoubtedly more affordable, because the rewards were not much, and even if there were, the value of the rewards would not be greater than the value of the tribute. It is even more valuable than the Ming Dynasty.

I didn't know what was at all groggy and didn't know what was Yu Rongdu, so I obeyed Wang Cheng's command, and I was busy all morning, knowing that after the sun rose, it was about the same as * o'clock to complete a large set of cumbersome processes, and fortunately Yu Rongdu had a Wang Cheng guide, and because he was still young, it was not too hard, but the fatigue was certain.

The following is the last part of the entire court, Jin Xian!

As for the information obtained from Zhou Bangyan and Wang Cheng, Yu Rongdu can already be sure that this time, the highlight is the Jin Offering of Daomen and Buddhism. After Lin Lingsu, the Daomen was undoubtedly a little frustrated, and the Buddhism Sect also wanted to use this momentum of the Daomen's frustration to change its subordinate status.

It can be seen that the two sides have to fight. 、

For the tributes offered by the previous vassal states, localities, ministers, and relatives of the emperor, Yu Rongdu did not pay attention to it at all, because it was destined that what they said was nothing more than vulgar things. All he had to wait for was the last moment.

Taking advantage of this effort, he looked around, and found that his position was surprisingly high, and there were not many people around him, even the Gao Yu he had seen as a captain was far away from him. And I am almost a position here that must have a deep meaning, too high!

It is precisely because he will see the envious eyes of many people looking at his place from time to time, especially those in the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, that gaze seems to be able to eat himself even with his belt and bones.

He quietly tugged at the corner of Wang Cheng's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Wang, why do I feel a little wrong, this seems to be a little wrong." ”

Wang Cheng was standing there at this time with his eyes slightly closed, originally very dissatisfied with Yu Rongdu's movements, but after finding out that it was Yu Rongdu, he immediately changed his smiling face, and replied with the same slight smile, "Yu Gongzi, what's wrong with this?"

"This is the place? is it where I should stand, and I don't think they look at me right. Yu Rongdu looked around for another week before finally asking.

"Hehe," Wang Cheng smiled slightly, glanced at the many people behind him, and whispered, "Don't pay attention to them, there is nothing wrong with you, it's just that those people of them are not capable, and they don't look at their own virtues." Our Great Song Dynasty takes Taoism as the state religion, and our official family is the Taoist Emperor, you are the master of the official family, and you should be the emperor and the Taishi from the official position, and now you are the second only to the current official Taoist Emperor of the Taoist family, of course, standing here, what do their Taoist priests who have no ability know, don't worry, rest assured, can there be anything wrong with our arrangement?"

Yu Rongdu was even more surprised after hearing this, and said, "Golden Gate Yuke?"

"That's right, last night's official family made a special arrangement, you see, the clothes you are wearing are not the Taoist clothes of the Golden Gate Yuke. Wang Cheng looked taken for granted, then looked at Yu Rongdu and said, "What, Yu Gongzi thinks that the level of this Golden Gate Yuke is low? That's not easy to say, just wait for the court meeting to pass, and let our official family give you a title." ”

Yu Rongdu's heart trembled slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, where do I dislike this low level, this is too high in itself, I never thought of getting entangled in it, this Zhao Ji seems to be iron-hearted to pull himself in, after this incident, how should I explain to Brother Monkey Ge?

Continuing to go on one item, Yu Rongdu suddenly asked Wang Cheng, "Father-in-law Wang, in the end, the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism will pay tribute, who will be in front and who will be behind?"

Wang Cheng glanced at the many monks standing not far away and said, "He Buddhism wants to be the last, is it possible? Our Great Song Dynasty is to worship Taoism and suppress Buddhism, this is already a well-known thing, Taoism is the state religion of our Great Song Dynasty, naturally it is the finale of Taoism, and Buddhism can only be the penultimate one." Don't worry, right away, you'll be at the Buddha Gate right away. Maybe the official will call you then, so you have to be prepared. ”

"Buddhism Presents ......"

After a loud chanting, there was a burst of Sanskrit music, and if you looked closely, it was true that many women next to the main hall were playing or chanting slowly, no less than the sound of later generations.

Seeing Yu Rongdu's attention, Wang Cheng glanced at it and said, "That's the real teaching department, and they are responsible for the music of the imperial court's activities." Don't get distracted, it's time to get to the Buddha's door. ”

No one from the Buddha Gate came out, and after waiting for a while, the person who chanted and sang shouted, "The Buddha Gate Jin ......"

Still no one came out.

Suddenly, a burst of mist came down from the sky, a burst of auspicious light emitted a soft light, a head wearing a gold leaf button, a golden light, a line of hanging beads, wearing a blue robe embroidered with a golden dragon and a phoenix, tied around the waist of an ice silk, below is a brocade velvet skirt woven with gold edges to climb the colorful clouds to promote the Yao Sea, holding a treasure bottle of grace and help the world, a willow is inserted in the bottle, auspicious clouds under the feet burst, a soft voice said, "This seat represents Buddhism for the sect leader Daojun Emperor Jin presents a seven-spice treasure car, congratulations on New Year's Day." ”

Yu Rongdu was stunned, looking at the Guanshi who descended from the sky, his heart was rippling, he didn't control his tone, and opened his mouth to say, "Sister Guanyin......."
