Chapter 1129 Continued
Since this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is quite special, the guards arranged it in a dense manner, but in the spacious Hanyuan Hall, no matter how many people are, they will not feel crowded.
The most advanced people to the palace were naturally high-ranking officials and nobles. They chatted leisurely and entered the palace leisurely. Over the years, they had been familiar with the process.
As for folk people like Sun Taigong, they were extremely nervous and slowly entered the palace under the leadership of eunuchs.
Hanyuan Hall is the main hall of the Daming Palace. The hall is situated on a three-layer high platform. The base is nearly three meters high, fifty steps long from east to west and thirty steps wide from north to south. There are canals in front of the hall and five bridges on the canal.
There is a square and an imperial road dedicated to the emperor's entry and exit from the palace from the front of the hall to the Danfeng Gate.
A little ahead of the left and right sides of the front of the hall, Xiangluan Pavilion and Qifeng Pavilion are built. The second pavilion is in the form of a three-level son-and-mother palace, and there are tall brick piers under it.
On both sides of the hall are the second floor of bells and drums. His Highness has a twenty-foot-long dragon tail road that hovers up against the platform wall. The entire building complex is in a huge "concave" shape.
The Meridian Gate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was based on it.
The poems in Tang poetry, such as "Thousands of officials look at Chang'an, and thousands of countries worship Hanyuan", "The palace is opened in the nine heavens, and the clothes and crowns of all countries worship crowns and tassels" describe the grand occasion of the Hanyuan Palace.
Faced with such a magnificent palace, many low-ranking officials could not stop being shocked, which was much more powerful than the imperial palace in Bianliang.
All the officials were like this, and the powerful, filial and wise men who came from the people were even more stunned. Compared with the Zhuang Town in their countryside, they were all in heaven and earth.
Many people couldn't help but tremble, causing many officials to whisper.
"Silent voice--" The censor of the palace courtyard had his eyes as lightning, and he growled at the officials who were making noise. Everyone present looked sideways and dared not speak anymore.
When Sun Taigong heard this, his hand, which was leaning on a crutch, almost loosened. Two fellow villagers on the side hurriedly helped him, and he was spared a major incident.
The powerful rural masters who were with them had never seen such a scene and were trembling in their hearts, but they still couldn't hide their excitement. Once upon a time, they could see so many officials and walk together.
And it is about to meet the Shengyan, what a glorious thing this is. When you return to the countryside, you can almost show off for half your life.
Before the dinner, the Ministry of Rites had already arranged personnel to participate in etiquette training. After three days, they also understood the etiquette quickly.
Soon, their group of civilians were arranged to the side hall, and the main hall belonged to the high-ranking officials and nobles. It would be nice to be in the same palace as the people.
In the main hall, the high-ranking officials and nobles formed circles according to the unique atmosphere and chatted happily. The censors could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they had no choice but to do anything to this group of people.
The prime ministers are reserved and elegant, while the generals don’t care about so much, and they still have their own roughness.
"Guohua (Guo Shouwen) is not bad, he actually became the governor of Shuofang!"
Cao Bin looked at Yang Tingzhang with envy and said softly.
"It's just his own ability!" Yang Tingzhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "The opportunity is up to him, and I can't help much."
"The northwest place seems to be where the imperial court will use troops in the future. If Chonghua can go, its future will be unlimited!"
Pan Mei was on the side, and she was also extremely envious.
For them, war is the best thing. Only with war can we obtain money, official positions, and merits.
Because he surrendered late and his qualifications were not good, when Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin served as the admiral of ten thousand people, he could only serve as the deputy admiral, which was a huge gap.
The main general and the deputy general are very different.
"In addition to the northwest, Hebei also needs troops."
Yang Tingzhang is now serving as a frugal service in the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Although he is a false position, he still has a lot of knowledge about the news. Facing his old colleagues, he couldn't help but say:
"Now General Guo (Guo Jin) sorted out all the prefectures and counties in Hebei and prepared their troops. It is obviously preparing to do a big battle; there are also Datong and the southern mourning tribes in the north of Shanxi Prefecture, which are also a good place to use troops."
"Zhongxun, you can clear one or two!"
Yang Tingzhang suggested softly.
Liu Guangyi, Cao Bin and others on the side meant the same thing.
"I'll think about it again!"
Pan Mei nodded to show her understanding.
Now as the deputy admiral, he is doing daily logistics and does not have actual control of the troops. Although he has a high rank, it is useless.
Once he goes to and from the place, with his official rank, he is at least a commander, with 2,500 people under his command, which is in his hands.
It would be amazing to seize the opportunity and make military achievements.
Pan Mei got the answer to the choice of false name and real power in a short while.
Immediately, he was a little envious of Cao Bin, Liu Guangyi and others. When he went to the Northern Han Dynasty together, he rewarded some money, and these people increased their fiefs by hundreds. Needless to say, if you have a little more military achievements, you will be able to get to the count.
The civil officials were more realistic. They talked about the Tang Dynasty's Punishment and the Six Dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty. These were all things that were left with the name of the Qing Dynasty. The envy and jealousy were almost overflowing.
However, Zhao Cheng is the prime minister and Wang Pu is the prime minister. They can't afford to offend them, so they can only curse in their hearts.
The civil and military are clearly divided, and they talk freely, without any intention of connecting with each other.
However, this made Li Huai on the side feel a little embarrassed.
He was born in a royal family and led the army at the beginning. Later, he was in the military office and led the leadership of the Military Affairs Office, saying that he was a literati. After all, he did not lead the army, but a military man, he also worked as a civil servant.
Zhao Cheng and other prime ministers had a smile on their faces, watching how they chose.
Seeing this, Li Huai no longer hesitated and went straight toward the civil servants, landed behind the prime ministers, and accompanied Hu Binwang.
His son Li Xia naturally went toward a low-ranking civil servant, and the seventh-rank county magistrate was the lowest.
The military generals and nobles said a few words indifferently and stopped talking.
After the waiting time passed, the tables that responded were placed and everyone sat down.
At this time, a eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty is here--"
"I am going to congratulate Your Majesty on your blessings!"
All civil and military officials moved together, kneeling and knocking on the big ceremony, and congratulating loudly.
"I'm safe!" Li Jia waved his hand and everyone stood up.
Then there was another scene and everyone took their seats, began to enjoy dance and other programs, eat, drink and have fun.
As long as the scene is not out of line, Li Jia doesn't want to worry about it.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, he came to the side hall, which was the place for the banquet for low-ranking officials and the common people this time.
The arrival of the emperor made everyone cheer, but they were bound by the rules and did not dare to act rashly.
Every time the emperor took a step, he greeted him in a kind tone and was extremely friendly to the people. The officials could not stop being excited.
