Chapter 334: The Legend of the Golden Palace
The day of the transmission is the time when the brown is released. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The so-called release of brown is that a scholar wants to take off the green shirt he wore in the past and change into an official uniform, which is what the prodigy poem says, "Chao is Tian Shelang, and twilight ascends to Tianzitang".
In the Ming Dynasty, there were two capitals and thirteen provinces, hundreds of millions of people, three thousand sons, and one election every three years, and only one person could be a great general.
After the hour, in the capital, the night was still deep, and the sky was not yet bright.
The Forbidden City is still asleep.
The carriage was speeding down the street, and Lin Yanchao, who was sitting in the car, lifted the curtain and saw the tall and deep Zhengyang Gatehouse passing by the back of his head.
The groom, who was holding a bamboo pole on the side of the road, swept past his eyes and melted into the night. Lin Yanchao turned his head and looked north, revealing a small corner of the Forbidden City like a giant dragon lying down.
"The master is careful of the wind, the sideburns are messy, and the golden palace is out of order!" Zhan Ming on the saddle kindly reminded.
Lin Yanchao nodded and lowered the curtain. When the carriage went straight to Daming Gate through Qipan Street, the bleak and deserted capital also woke up little by little.
At this moment, the east is not dawning, and the stars in the sky are still bright.
The thoroughfare leading to the Imperial City gradually began to be noisy.
The carriages and horses are chauffled, the carriages and horses gallop through the dust, and the official sedans of various sizes are carried one after another.
The entourage of officials carried wind lanterns and illuminated the official rank plates. The court was in a hurry, and if the Jingguan slept late, the pit was not yet hot, and he would have to get up.
It was okay for the officials' carriages and sedan chairs to gallop side by side on Tongqu Avenue in the capital, but when they encountered the alleys and alleys, they just showed their official title plates, and went first according to their official positions.
The sound of shouting, avoiding sedan chairs, horses' hooves, carriages and sedan chairs are noisy and shouting. Gather from all directions and go towards the Daming Gate.
At this moment, the sky is still gloomy and gray, the front court of Daming Gate is brilliant, and the jade leakage on the city tower is dripping. The gate under the castle tower was closed.
Countless carriage sedan chairs were parked outside the door, and the night wind blew, the hood of the wind lamp swayed from side to side, and the lamp bones struck on the edge of the carriage, making a clear sound.
In the flickering lights, it can't stop the brilliant scene outside the Daming Gate, which has become the brightest place in the night of the capital.
Lin Yanchao neatly and clearly cleaned the Jinshi dress in the carriage. Then got out of the carriage.
In front of the Daming Gate, there are mostly new scholars wearing black gauze hats and blue robes. As far as the hundreds of officials who participated in the court on the side, the robe of the new branch jinshi was only missing a complement, and everything else was not too similar.
The new recruits came earlier than the hundred officials. Therefore, the number of people is also larger.
If the official missed the court. He had to be punished, but when the new jinshi was late, he lost his fame.
Which reader is not a ten-year cold window of hard study, the lights of the third watch and the fifth watch of the rooster crow, for them, it is nothing to sleep a little less a day in the Golden Palace.
Lin Yanchao walked into the crowd of new science and technology jinshi, as a huiyuan, which jinshi didn't know him.
I met Lin Yanchao. Several people greeted each other with smiling faces and said, "Brother Zonghai, you are here." ”
Lin Yanchao arched his hand. I have no interest in small talk right now. So he just saluted and walked aside and stood quietly.
And the discussion of the same year on the side couldn't help but drift into his ears.
"Don't look at you and me on the same list, but even if you are a jinshi and a first, you have a poor background."
"Did you hear that? Today, the department will strike the hall and stop the Jishi, that is to say, only Sanding Party A can enter the Hanlin Academy. ”
"The Son of Heaven is about to govern, and most of the ministers in the hall are old ministers of the former dynasty, and now the department is full of talents and celebrities, and it is very beneficial to enter the Hanlin Academy."
"Did you hear that? The champion already has a genus. ”
"Surname Zhang? Or is it the surname Xiao? ”
"I heard that Lord Yuanfu once said to the Son of Heaven that the Min people are cunning and cannot be trusted."
Lin Yanchao closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to these words, his heart was extremely calm at the moment, what three yuan and the first, the world's great man, all obsessions have been let go at this moment. Although you can't be pampered and not surprised, and you can see the detachment of flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, you can also go to the poor place of water and sit and watch the clouds rise indifferently.
The Golden Palace is the glory of a lifetime of scholars, and they enjoy the process and experience their own lives, and everything else is not important.
Throwing away the heart of gain and loss, Lin Yanchao looked at the Forbidden City in front of him, and history suddenly came alive in front of him, as if he could touch it as soon as he stretched out his hand.
At this time, he was not a hurried passer-by who traveled hundreds of years later, but just an ordinary and ordinary scholar in Daming.
Little by little, the sky is brightening, the stars and moon are fading, the sky is shining, and the east is turning red.
A golden light broke through the layers of clouds and mist from the east, and the Forbidden City held the newborn sun rising step by step.
As the sky brightened, the fire in front of the Daming Gate had been extinguished.
Suddenly, the Jingyang bell rang, melodious and majestic bells, accompanied by the sound of the end door drum leaking, echoed among the red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City.
After the gray-black swallow flies, it soars in front of the Daming Gate, sometimes flying low, sometimes sweeping over the heavy eaves on the city tower and soaring into the sky.
Lin Yanchao's gaze fell from Feiyan's body, but he saw that the vermilion Daming Gate covered with copper nails in front of him opened from left and right in the dull sound of squeaking.
The palace gates, layer upon layer of palace bans along the central axis, opened one by one from the outside to the inside.
The ancient rite emperor has a foreign dynasty, a ruling dynasty, and a Yan dynasty.
The palace of the Son of Heaven has five gates, which are called Gaomen, Kumen, Pheasant Gate, Ying Gate, and Road Gate.
Together, these are called the Three Dynasties and Five Gates.
The state has major events, and the Son of Heaven summons the princes and the people to inquire in Kumen, which is called the outer court. The Son of Heaven will be the princes, the courtiers and inquire, outside the road gate called the ruling dynasty, in the road gate called the Yan Dynasty.
In ancient times, the court meeting was determined by the location, and when it came to the Ming Dynasty, the court ceremony was divided into the Great Dynasty Ceremony and the Chang Dynasty Ceremony.
The Great Pilgrimage Ceremony is the most solemn, but it is only performed on the New Year's Day and Winter Solstice.
It is generally called the Chang Dynasty Ceremony, and the Chang Dynasty Ceremony is also divided into two classes, depending on the location, which are respectively called the Chang Dynasty Imperial Palace Ceremony and the Chang Dynasty Imperial Gate Ceremony.
The Chang Dynasty Imperial Gate Ceremony is the Imperial Gate to listen to the government, and the location is held in Fengtianmen.
The Son of Heaven ascended directly outside the Fengtian Gate, and the hundred officials greeted the Son of Heaven in the large square outside the gate.
The general Chang Dynasty Ceremony of the Ming Dynasty is the Imperial Gate Ceremony of the Chang Dynasty, so it is relatively simple. Only in the cold winter of the moon, the weather is too cold, the hundred officials in the door outside the door after the salute, the nearest palace for court discussion. Generally, if there is a noon dynasty, the evening dynasty is also held at Fengtianmen.
The scale of the palace ceremony is better than the palace ceremony, it is necessary to pomp and circumstance, or the event is held, of course, it is not as simple as the weekday palace ceremony, and the three major halls that can carry out the palace ceremony have been plagued all year round, and the palace ceremony can often not be held smoothly.
However, it is a national event, related to the community, since it is necessary to perform the palace ceremony in the Fengtian Palace, Fang Xian is solemn, if it is as the general early dynasty, it is not the Golden Palace, but the royal gate.
As soon as the Daming Gate opened, a chief official and eunuch walked out of the door and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, civil officials and Chinese scholars will enter the Fengtian Palace to meet you!" (To be continued.) )
