Chapter 17: The Great Wedding (1)

The main hall of Baohe, located in the north of the inner palace, is a palace specially built for the wedding, which is divided into the avenue in front of the palace, the square in the palace, the main hall, the side hall, etc.

The avenue in front of the hall is wide and straight, with square white bricks neatly laid on the ground, and canals dug on both sides, and tall flowers and trees planted next to it.

Walk along the avenue in front of the palace, you can see the palace gate that is opened, the palace gate is golden, gold nail vermilion, carved dragon and phoenix flying clouds, the gatehouse is on the row, covered with glazed tiles, not only the momentum is magnificent, but also gorgeous and gorgeous.

Along the palace gate to the inside, can see the vast square and the center of the altar, the tall main hall is magnificent, the top of the palace is load-bearing, the three-layer white jade pedestal sits down, the wall is carved with a golden dragon and a seal color painting, and the fork ridge is decorated with immortal beasts.

The reason why Fang Ling was dressed as a subordinate was because every official carried a gift box, and these gift boxes naturally did not hold them by themselves, but were all held by his entourage.

Therefore, Fang Ling was holding the gift box, which naturally would not be eye-catching.

At this time, many officials gathered in front of the avenue, and Xue Zhiqiu whispered to him to introduce these people.

Among the officials of the Chu State, in addition to the princes who were entitled by the imperial relatives, the courtiers of the imperial city were generally divided into six categories:

One of them is the three princes, namely Taibao, Taishi and Taifu, all of whom are ranked first-class members, but although they are more famous, they have no real power.

The second is the six ministries headed by the prime minister, Cui Yi is elected as the prime minister, and there are six ministries of work, punishment, soldiers, rites, households, and officials, although the six books can have the right to directly advise the emperor, but they are usually responsible to the prime minister, and Cui Yixuan's power can also be seen.

Especially now that the youngest daughter has become the crown princess, her status is even more prosperous.

The third is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is directly under the supervision department of the Chu Emperor, and consists of officials such as the left and right metropolitan inspectors.

The fourth is the five temples, the so-called five temples, that is, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, Honglu Temple, except for Dali Temple is to manage criminal cases, several other temples are to manage the sacrificial, banquet and other miscellaneous things.

The fifth is the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the Cabinet, all of whom are civil servants who manage the affairs of the state.

In addition, there is the most important category, that is, military generals. These generals include hussar generals, auxiliary generals and Zhenguo generals, etc., most of these people are high-powered, and the grandfather of Queen Song is a first-class hussar general of the previous dynasty, and many powerful ministers and generals in the court are pulled up by him, and then combined with Cui Yixuan's civil power, which can be described as overwhelming.

Fang Ling listened to Xue Zhiqiu's introduction one by one, and silently remembered these people in his heart, and at the same time, he also found Tang Zihao's figure, so he lowered his head, so as not to let him find out.

After waiting for almost an hour, a eunuch in the front hall informed that when it was time to enter the temple, everyone stepped into the gate and came to the square in front of the palace.

From the side door, you can see foreign envoys coming.

There are more than a dozen countries on the land, except for a few remote countries, almost all neighboring countries have sent envoys, even Cai and Wu, who have been at war.

Of course, in fact, discerning people know in their hearts that the other party is very likely to take advantage of this opportunity to spy on intelligence, and some people even suspect that the murder of Jia's father-in-law was committed by the other party.

It's just that there is no evidence, and secondly, it is now a major event of the prince's wedding, so the death of Gonggong Jia is gone.
