Now I'll wait for everyone's monthly tickets and subscription support! Brothers, it's all up to you!)

---------------------------------------------

On the eighth day of the third month of the second year of Qianfu.

In the early morning, at 5 o'clock, the sky was not yet bright. As the first morning drum was knocked on the Chengtian Gate of Tai Chi Palace, the street drums on the streets opposite the gates of Chang'an City responded in unison, and dust on the six streets rose.

The street drums in Chang'an City have to be beaten three thousand times, but if it is early when the day is bright, you can stop the street drums as long as your eyes can clearly see things in the distance.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

As the drum sounded, the city gate man from Menxia Province began to bring the eight hundred servants who took turns to the duty. When the street drum sounded, the city gate keys that were uniformly kept every night were delivered to each door on time.

The first thing that opens in Chang'an City is the nine outer city gates on the three city walls on the east and west sides of Chang'an. From west to south to east, Kaiyuan Gate, Jinguang Gate, Yanping Gate, Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate, Qixia Gate, Yanxing Gate, Chunming Gate, and Tonghua Gate, all of which open one after another.

After the nine gates are opened, the doors of each gate are opened.

It was not until all the nine gates were opened that the palace gate of the palace finally slowly opened.

Next to the right Yintai Gate of Daming Palace is the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Bachelor on duty in the courtyard is enjoying the best early night before dawn. The guard gate of the palace gate is verifying the lock-opening contract. A door envoy took out a wooden fish carved from sandalwood, and the door envoy carefully took out a sandalwood board and a concave slam carved from a sandalwood board.

The wooden fish tightly tied into the Kan. The gate nodded expressionlessly, and the guards guarding the gate began to slowly push open the heavy palace gate. The palace gate creaked loudly, and the sound reached the Hanlin Academy, which made the Hanlin scholar who was sleeping just in time complain in dissatisfaction, "There are so many sounds!"

The sound of drums reached the Daming Palace. The palace maids who prepared clothes for the emperor in the palace held ironed clothes and sent them to the emperor's bedroom. The emperor's gorgeous dragon robe was filled with the smell of ambergris. Several palace maids looked a little gray and blue in their faces and their bags were black. The lights in the emperor's bedroom had just turned off last night. They started working, and it was not until the morning drum sounded that their overnight work came to an end.

Before the clear drum sounded, some people were already busy.

The owners of the cake shop in the shop got up first. They lighted the lights in the dark, lit the stove, and prepared for the opening and welcome guests early.

The owner of Shengpingfang Cake Shop just opened the shop door and found that there were already many people sitting there waiting under the eaves.

"Wu Dalang, do you have any good cakes? Come and have a few, and you want the matadilla cakes." A half-old man in a long robe shouted.

The Wu family Dalang recognized this as the Liu Daguanren in the yard. He turned a blind eye to the outside world and was devoted to reading the books of sages. Originally, he was from Huainan. He came to participate in the imperial examination twenty years ago, but after failing, he simply bought a house in Shengpingfang and lived there for a long time. Wu Dalang's family opened a cake shop here for generations. When he was just sensible, he saw Liu Daguanren in the yard. Now twenty years have passed, and Liu Daguanren still failed to win the first place. Fortunately, the Liu Daguanren family is quite large in Huainan. He is not worried about the cost of daily life.

"Why is the great official so early today? I'm waiting for the gate to open and leave the city?" Wang Dalang asked with a smile.

Official Liu sat on the long table set up in front of the store and smiled rare: "Didn't you hear that the Zhenguo Army is going to enter the city to be paraded today?"

Due to the assassination of Li Jing during this period, martial law was severed in Chang'an. It can be said that more than one million people in Chang'an now know about Li Jing and Zhenguo Army. Now, when various parties have posted announcements that the Triumph Army in Daibei will enter the city today for inspection and prisoners, many people are eager to go to Zhuque Gate early to occupy a good position so that they can block the general Li Zhenguo and his Zhenguo Army, who are well-known to everyone in Chang'an during this period.

At this time, other people who came to wait for the door to open also came to the cake shop to buy cakes and breakfast, some bought matte cakes, some bought mutton mixed meat, some bought steamed cakes, and some bought millet porridge. Everyone sat at the table, waiting for Wu Dalang's beautiful little lady to come out early.

Ximen Daguanren, who was in the silk shop in the yard, was waiting for breakfast, while pinching his chin to look at the little lady. Although he had a thorny hairpin and cloth skirt, his graceful figure and beautiful face, especially his two shallow dimples when he smiled, made him fascinated.

Dalang was working while singing a song. The song was Wang Wei's song "Weicheng Song", "The morning rain in Weicheng is clear and dusty, and the green willows in the guest house are fresh... I feel full of excitement of a prosperous business, but I don't know that there is a pair of eyes peeking at his wife unscrupulously.

When the little lady Fanlian brought Leng Tao to Ximen, Ximen stretched out her fingers and hooked the little lady's palm without any trace. As a result, the little lady glared coldly and stomped on his instep, causing him to bare his teeth and crack his mouth.

He had to turn around and pretend to talk to Liu Daguanren. "Brother Liu is also concerned about Li Jiyu. I am not studying sages anymore?"

"Thirty-year-old Ming Jing, fifty-year-old Jinshi." Liu Daren shook his head and smiled mockingly, "I have been taking the Jinshi for more than 20 years, but I have not been able to pass the exam yet. I have not been able to take the exam anymore. I have heard a lot about Zhenguo Army and Li Jing these days, and I think that although Li Jing is young, he is extraordinary. I have already thought about it and go to visit today. If Li Zhenguo and his Zhenguo Army are indeed extraordinary as the rumors say, then I will recommend myself and go to Zhenguo Army to find a position."

In the late Tang Dynasty, although the imperial examination was won every year, it was not just about talent to pass the exam, but more importantly, it was about background and fame. And even if you could pass, it was difficult to become an official. At this time, most civil officials basically chose to join the shogunate of the vassal states first, and then made achievements to finally be transferred to the court.

Shortly after the street drums were ringing in the early morning, the entire Chang'an City had woken up, with people, cars, horses, chickens and dogs biting, and the silence was no longer there. Even the sound of wind chimes hanging in Buddhist temples in Chang'an City had long been submerged.

Usually, at this time, the regular officials who wanted to participate in the morning court had already gotten up and washed up, and rode horses, mules, donkeys, and ox carts to the road to court. The court system must rush outside the palace gate before the fifth o'clock in the morning.

However, there are many officials on the street today. Not only are the officials wearing purple clothes riding horses and carriages, but there are also many officials wearing dark green, light green, and even green official robes. They all rushed to the palace gate.

"Why are you all rushing to the palace gate?" Someone was puzzled.

A scholar riding a donkey on the side of the road smiled and said, "You don't know? Three days ago, the emperor issued an order to proclaim that today the North Triumph Army will enter the city to be paraded. All the officials of Chang'an, the capital of Chang'an, must participate in the parade, except for the officials on duty."

In the palace, the four eunuch leaders, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai and Tian Lingzi, had already been waiting outside the hall, but the emperor had not yet stood up.

Zhang Tai walked up and whispered to ask the little eunuchs around the emperor.

"Your Majesty played chess yesterday and didn't go to bed until the third update."

Ximen Sigong and others were all black. On such an important day today, the emperor actually played chess with others until the third update of the night. He was getting more and more nonsense.

Several censors from the Censorate had arrived and saw that the emperor was still asleep. They couldn't help but look darker. Tian Lingzi finally ran to wake Li Yan up. When he came out, the censor left-handed king Zou Buqian said, "Please break the head and thank the censor for his revenge." When Li Yan heard that he actually said he wanted to break his head on the steps of the palace to make a warning, his face immediately turned dark. As soon as he spoke, the newly promoted censor immediately said, "

Your Majesty is young and becomes the world of the Tang Dynasty. The world is dominated by the world, and it should have been more likely to be fed and eaten overnight to govern the Tang Dynasty. But now, millions of people in the entire Chang'an City are waiting for the emperor to appear. Outside Chang'an City, tens of thousands of Triumph Generals are preparing to enter the city to be inspected by the emperor. But now the emperor has been unable to get up in bed because he played chess until the third update last night. This is going to spread, how do the people of the world view His Majesty? What do tens of thousands of Triumph soldiers who are looking forward to His Majesty’s review?”

After saying that, he really kowtowed in the palace, and his head was pounding on the steps. Even the people outside the palace could hear the sound clearly, and blood was flowing all over his head. Li Yan was about to get angry, but when he saw the result, he didn't know what to do.

Zuo Shiyi was just a small official from the eighth rank, but as soon as this guy took office, he made himself like the Grand Tutor. When he met such a cruel person, Li Yan felt a little ashamed after all. He had to say to him: "I know this, please step down."

Ximen Sigong, Tian Lingzi and others were also very surprised and had to let him retreat first.

According to the rules of the censors, after Wang Zou withdrew from the main hall, he immediately came to the Jinwu Guard duty room outside the hall to wait for punishment. This was called waiting for punishment. However, after waiting for a while, no intention of punishment was reported. Instead, Li Yan issued an order to add him to the position of the seventh-rank lower-level censor, in charge of the court, and knowledge of the treasury and affairs of the palace gate, as well as the inspection of the capital. Wang Zou was stunned for a moment, not only did not sue the crime, but was promoted to reward. After waiting for three years after the Jinshi, he finally became a young censor from the eighth-rank. Then on the first day he took office, he was even promoted to the courageous censor who was promoted to the third level. This young emperor seemed not as rumored outside, at least he could correct his mistakes.

While he was stunned, a little eunuch walked in.

"Civilian Wang, Your Majesty asks the Censor to clean up and prepare to follow him out of the palace."

After tiring up for a while, Li Yan had already put on an extremely grand crown garment, wearing a twelve-shaped crown crown, a large fur, and a black garment. The top was painted with six chapter patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and flower insects, and the bottom garment was embroidered with algae, fire, pink rice, Zong Yi, fu, and fu six chapter patterns, a total of twelve chapters.

"I will report to Your Majesty, and the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall will report back. The horses of the parade have been prepared and the career has reached outside Mingde Gate in Nancheng. Please give your Majesty the imperial edict and the review will begin!" An official from the fifth room of the Political Affairs Hall came to report.

Li Yan expressed his excitement and said loudly: "Transfer my order and the review will begin immediately, so that the triumphant troops will enter the city and accept the review!"
Chapter completed!
