At the other end of the square, there is a majestic palace with green tiles and red walls, the palace rooms are connected, tall and handsome, and the layers are boundless, and a piece of gold and brilliance shines under the rising sun.

Cui Wenqing was amazed for a while, and praised such a majestic palace complex again and again.

Before crossing over, he had been to the Forbidden City and seen the offices and residences of the Ming and Qing emperors.

However, the Forbidden City is really inferior to the Luoyang Palace in front of it.

Perhaps only the majestic financial resources of the Sui and Tang dynasties, rich in ancient and modern times, could establish such a prominent palace complex.

And thanks to the fact that Qi Gaozu was left behind in Luoyang at that time, Luoyang was not as baptized by war as Chang'an City, so the entire Luoyang Palace was preserved intact.

Before passing through the square to the Xuanzheng Hall where the Chang Dynasty was held, there were eunuchs who came to lead the ministers to line up according to the class, and Cui Wenqing listened to the Xuanzheng meeting, so he did not need to enter the palace with the ministers, but went to the side hall to wait under the guidance of the eunuchs.

When Cui Wenqing came to the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace, he saw that there was already a person sitting in the hall, and his expression was very solemn without squinting.

This person is dressed in a green official robe, with a straight head, young and handsome, but not chic and dignified, it is actually his old enemy Sima Tang.

At this time, Sima Tang also saw Cui Wenqing, who had just entered, and the eyes of the two met and collided in the air, and an embarrassment arose in his heart at the same time.

Sima Tang's embarrassment is because this opponent, who can be called his enemy, actually became the benefactor of the Sima family, yesterday even his father Sima Guang was full of praise for Cui Wenqing, and now that they meet, they really don't know what to say for a while.

And Cui Wenqing's embarrassment lies in the fact that the two suddenly meet because of a series of contradictions and frictions, and the two of them are still sitting alone, the embarrassment is naturally conceivable.

Fortunately, Cui Wenqing is not a careless person, especially thinking of Sima Tang's courage to board the ship again without fear the night before, he also had some admiration for him, and walked over and smiled and arched his hand: "I didn't expect Sima Gongzi to be here, polite." ”

Seeing this, Sima Tang hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and replied in a slightly dry voice: "Brother Cui is polite, I haven't seen you for a few months, okay?" ”

Cui Wenqing smiled: "How can it be that we haven't seen each other for months, we met the night before yesterday, but at that time, I was wearing a mask and disguised as a demon, and you ......"

Speaking of this, the voice stopped abruptly, but Cui Wenqing suddenly realized that he had died talking to the sky.

You must know that the night before, he was forced to be helpless, but he beat Sima Tang severely, and the purple black scars on his face are still there, but I am afraid that the injury is not light, and it is even more embarrassing to accidentally bring up the old matter again at this moment.

Sima Tang also felt a hot fever on his face, that night he forcibly took revenge on Sima Wei and was beaten by the demons, speaking of which was just asking for his own hardship, he couldn't complain about Cui Wenqing at all, and Cui Wenqing naturally couldn't say anything in order not to reveal his identity, so he really suffered in vain in that fight.

Thinking of this, a wry smile overflowed from the corner of Sima Tang's mouth, and he stretched out his hand to ask: "The official family summoned us, but I am afraid that we will have to wait for a while, Brother Cui will sit down first." ”

Cui Wenqing naturally would not refuse, stepped forward and lifted his robe and sat down on the embroidery pier, silent for a long time, but neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was silent and embarrassing.

In such a feeling, Cui Wenqing really lived like a year, and simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

And Sima Tang obviously couldn't stand such an atmosphere, he suddenly seemed to have a strong interest in his palm, and actually spread out his right hand to carefully observe the lines on it, looking like a fortune teller.

I don't know how long it took, a sound of footsteps entered the hall, and the two of them already heard the eunuch's sharp voice: "Lord Sima, Cui Gongzi, the official family has summoned, please follow our family to the Xuanzheng Palace." ”

At the moment when the words fell, Cui Wenqing and Sima Tang both breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and followed the eunuch out of the palace.

When Cui Wenqing and Sima Tang hurriedly came to the door of the Xuanzheng Palace, they saw the old servant standing at the door of the Buddha dust, and the high-pitched and shrill voice like a duck's voice had already sounded: "Sima Tang, the secretary of Lantai School, and Cui Wenqing, a student of Tai, have entered the house to see." ”

The high-pitched tail note was still echoing in his ears, and the waiter who had just led the way for the two seemed to be worried that Cui Wenqing had just arrived and didn't know the rules very well, so he glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Keep your head down and don't speak, just follow our family." ”

After Chen Ningmo's special training yesterday, Cui Wenqing didn't know the rules, nodded and followed the chamberlain into the hall with his head down.

As soon as he came to the hall, Cui Wenqing obviously felt a majestic aura coming to his face, and the white jade bricks under his feet were recognizable, and they were reflected in countless scenes in the hall, which seemed to be a strange place.

You must know that the people in this hall are the most powerful people in Daqi and even the whole world, prime ministers, scholars, and generals abound, not to mention that there are also hundreds of millions of living beings in the world, known as the son of heaven The Great Qi Emperor, it can be said that this is the center of the Great Qi Empire.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his mood suddenly became surging and excited.

At this time, the attendant who led the way in front of him had already stopped, and said in a loud voice: "Sima Tang, the scholar of Lantai School, and Cui Wenqing, a student of Tai, went to the temple to meet and bow. ”

After the words fell, Cui Wenqing and Sima Tang both lowered their heads and arched their hands and shouted: "Cui Wenqing, a student of the courtier's wife (Sima Tang, the secretary of Lantai School), has seen the official family, long live long live long live." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a middle-spirited man's voice from the opposite side: "The two Aiqing don't need to be polite, just get up." ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing and Sima Tang straightened up at the same time and stood still.

Originally, according to the etiquette of the audience, the courtiers should not raise their heads and look directly at the monarch's face at this time, which Chen Ningmo also said to Cui Wenqing yesterday.

However, at this moment, Cui Wenqing couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, took advantage of the situation and secretly glanced towards the high platform due north, and saw the appearance of Chen Hong, the son of the Great Qi Heaven.

Chen Hong is about to be in his early thirties, wearing a black right-angled head, wearing an ochre-yellow round-necked robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a red wide-brimmed gold and jade belt around his waist, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slight short beard under his chin.

Chen Hong, who was sitting on the high platform, clearly saw Cui Wenqing's small action of looking up and peeking, and the master of ceremonies and eunuchs standing next to him were no exception.
