Chapter 595: Sword Shoes Go to the Palace
One hundred and ten people rode horses and cars, all the way through Jizhou Town, Zunhua City, Jizhou City, Sanhe, Tongzhou, and arrived outside the Chaoyang Gate of Jingshi five days later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This time, led by the Six Ministries, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Celebrant Supervisor, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, as well as one hundred and ten officials such as the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy, lined up to greet them, and the emperor gave imperial wine, and various official robes to Chang Wei and other meritorious soldiers.
As soon as I entered the Chaoyang Gate, I saw the officials of Shuntianfu and the people in the city "clean water splashing the street, loess mat road", and the red flag of the capital in winter was unfurled, and the joy shook the sky, so as to welcome the triumph of the Duke of Qin.
"Pure water splashes the street, loess cushion road" This is the emperor's patrol specifications, because, the main roads of the capital are made of loess mixed with sand and stone with stone rolling and building, when the wind blows, the dust is flying, the road surface is crushed and destroyed by wooden wheels, and it becomes potholes. Therefore, when the emperor went out on patrol, he had to use loess to pave the road, and then pour clean water to reduce dust. Greeting Chang Wei with such specifications shows the intentions of the emperor and the imperial court, and Chang Wei is less and less worried about that matter in his heart.
A group of people were first welcomed into the Honglu Temple where foreign vassals and envoys were entertained, eaten, freshened up, and after a short rest, each wearing a crown and robe, accompanied by many officials, entered from the Daming Gate, and crossed the Chengtian Gate, the Duan Gate, the Wu Gate, and the Huangji Gate in turn.
The Huangji Gate is the last of the "Five Gates of the Son of Heaven", and it is also the largest palace gate in the Forbidden City, and it is also the main gate of the Outer Dynasty Palace. Huangji Gate was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle, when it was called Fengtianmen, and Jiajing forty-one years was renamed Huangji Gate.
The Huangji Gate is nine rooms wide, three rooms deep, covers a vast area, solemn and majestic, and it is said that it is a gate that is actually the scale of the palace. The top is covered with heavy eaves and rests on the top of the mountain, and the lower is the white marble pedestal, and the beams and rafters are riveted with the seal color painting. A pair of bronze lions in front of the door, four copper tripods.
There is a huge square in front of the Huangji Gate, and the Inner Jinshui River meanders from west to east. There are five bridges over the river. There are neat corridors on both sides of the square, which are east and west courts, and there is a confrontation between the east and west gates and the Guiji gates.
Huangji Gate is the place where the Son of Heaven "listens to the government", and the emperor usually accepts the worship and performance of his subordinates here, issues edicts, and handles political affairs.
Such a solemn, majestic, majestic building complex, let Ma Lie, Zhuo Qizhen, Batu Baihu and others all concentrate and calm down, subconsciously cautious, even if they are heroes on the grassland, is the master of the top realm, but the pressure of the solemn and solemn royal buildings is extremely huge, it doesn't matter what kind of top master you are, heroes of the world, when you come here, you will naturally have a sense of insignificance, and you want to bow and worship from the heart.
But this time the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were in the Huangji Palace, which is commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, the Huangji Hall is located in the most important position of the north-south main axis of the Forbidden City, it is the first of the three major halls, Yongle was built in 18 years, called Fengtian Palace, and Jiajing 41 years was renamed Huangji Palace.
After being built it was burned down repeatedly, rebuilt many times, in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the Forbidden City was on fire, the most important on the central axis was the Huangji Palace, the Central Pole Palace, the Jianji Palace, the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, the Kunning Palace, the first three palaces and the three palaces were all burned down. After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he personally designed and supervised the construction, and it was not completed until the seventh year of the Apocalypse, which is also the origin of today's "Carpenter Emperor".
The people think that the Huangji Hall is usually the place where the court is up, but it is not. The Huangji Hall is used to hold a variety of major ceremonies, the actual number of uses is very small, the place where the Ming Emperor went to court is mainly in the Huangji Gate, the Qianqing Palace. The Imperial Palace is the place where grand ceremonies are held, such as enthronement, the emperor's wedding, the canonization of the empress, the fate of the generals, the three major festivals of longevity, New Year's Day, and the winter solstice, the emperor accepts the congratulations of civil and military officials here, and gives banquets to the princes and ministers.
Today's unprecedented use of the Huangji Palace, obviously to praise Chang Wei's merits, the last time I came to the Huangji Palace was the big court meeting at the beginning of the year, when he was still a small Xie Yuan, but now he is in the limelight, and he will go down in history.
The melodious sound of the news sounded again and again, Chang Wei took a deep breath and stepped onto the wide platform of Dan Majesty in front of the hall. After crossing the sundial, Jialiang, copper turtle, and bronze crane, he came to the gate of the palace, and the little eunuch was about to take off his shoes and socks for him, and take off the sword of Shang Fang, only to hear the loud voices of the Han generals from the palace.
"Edict: Qin Guogong went deep into the desert, swept two thousand miles, made immortal achievements, special gifts, praised and worshipped, did not enter the court, went to the palace with a sword, rode a horse in the forbidden palace, admired this!"
Praise and worship are not named, enter the court is not trending, the sword goes to the palace, and the forbidden palace rides a horse, which is the emperor's supreme grace to the courtiers.
The explanation is: when the courtiers worship the emperor, the salute official does not call the name directly, but only the official position. Originally, it was "Qin Guogong Chang Wei Visit", but after having the grace of praise and worship, he could only report the "Qin State Gong Visit", and the word Chang Wei could not be mentioned again.
Do not enter the court: When ordinary people go to the court, they should take small steps and walk quickly, in order to show the courtiers' respect for the emperor.
Sword walking to the temple: You can wear a sword and wear shoes to the court, which is a great grace.
Riding a horse in the Forbidden Palace has the privilege of riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City, which is relatively normal, and is generally given to the emperor's relatives, favored ministers and elderly ministers.
Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to fight with his courtiers in everything, this kind of etiquette was the emperor's own right, and the emperor said that whoever didn't have to kneel didn't have to kneel, and the civil officials couldn't control it.
With such grace, Chang Wei's snot and tears fell, not grateful, but frightened, "Praise is not famous, enter the court, go to the temple with a sword, Huo Guang, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Heng Wen, Er Zhurong, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Li Yuan, Zhu Wen who have received such honors...... Either a big traitor, or a miserable death, or a rebellion to become the emperor. Zhang Juzheng, the best minister in the Ming Dynasty, doesn't have such an honor, it's over, I'm going to be jealous to death now, big brother emperor, don't you play so big, okay? I really can't stand it!"
But the emperor's grace can never be shirked, and Chang Wei had to kneel outside the palace gate to thank Longen. But this fear is worth it, because the system prompted him to get 100 million prestige points!
"Playing big also has big benefits! Forget it, it's a big deal, just resign after destroying Jiannu and go to mix the rivers and lakes and play machinery, be careful and don't finish playing." ā
Ma Lie, Zhuo Qizhen, and Batu Baihu, who took off their shoes and socks under the corridor of the hall and changed into soft-soled shoes, were stunned. They knew that Chang Wei was very favored, but they didn't expect to get such a heavenly favor!
Especially Batu Baihu, he only knew that this "Master Zongkang" was the Duke of Qin of the Ming Dynasty when he entered the mouth of Xifeng, and he saw those Ming Dynasty officials respecting Chang Wei along the way, and he didn't care, but he thought that Chang Wei was too big.
But after entering the Forbidden City, those high-spirited eunuchs and brocade guards all lowered their eyebrows to Chang Wei and spoke softly, even more so that they could go to the palace with their swords.
Although the time spent in Honglu Temple was short, those officials and eunuchs made it very clear that meeting the emperor was a very serious matter, and it was necessary to be particularly careful, otherwise, not to mention what officials were sealed, what rewards to receive, and if they said the wrong word, their lives might be lost! At this time, Batu Baihu fully realized how great Chang Wei's power really was!
Despite these graces, Chang Wei still went to the temple cautiously, not daring to show a trace of impropriety, so as not to be attacked.
When he arrived in front of Dan Fan, he lifted his robe and bowed to the ground, bowed three times and knocked nine times, and bowed loudly: "Minister Qin Guogong Beizhen Fu Envoy Commander Machine Firearms Gunpowder Bureau Qin Cha Shaanxi Governor Chang Wei to meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
"Aiqing is flat!" (To be continued.) )
