Imperial City, at the beginning of Mao, Junhou Street.

On the wide street, there were already cars and horses, and lanterns shining on the road, extending forward to the red wall at the end.

At today's grand dynasty meeting, all officials who are qualified to attend the court will need to arrive at Wanmin Palace at the right time. Unless there are special circumstances, the star officials on duty will question those who are not arriving or late according to the list. At the very least, they will be demoted and deducted some salary, and at the worst, they will be dismissed and removed from office.

So although at the beginning of Mao, Junhou Street was already full of officials who attended court.

The palace gate opened only at the beginning of Chen, which was only half an hour earlier than the meeting of the Grand Court. Those who came earlier could only wait outside the palace gate. The weather is pretty good now, and in the cold winter, people can't stand it. Therefore, officials are not always comfortable.

There are also people who don’t need to wait in line. Third-rank officials can go in through the door in advance, and check and search for the body. After that, they can sit in Ruanjiao and wait for the tea room of Wanmin Palace. The comfort level is much better than that of other officials.

The officials waiting outside the door could only gather together in groups of three or three while chatting and waiting for the door to open.

"Mr. Zhao, it's very early today."

"Haha, Lord Zhang is already here. Is there a happy event today?"

"There is no good news, but yesterday my grandson started to learn to speak and called grandpa. Lao Huai was so relieved, hahaha..."

"Oh, this is a great joy. Mr. Zhang's family is lucky. There will be someone in the future!"

After chatting for a few more times, they came over and they all had some friendships and had similar ranks. They were not in charge of officials. During the grand court meeting, most of them only had ears and no mouths, which made them easy to chat together.

These people stood upright, and whenever a senior official entered the side door, they would bow slightly to greet each other.

"I'm afraid something is going to happen today." A man watched a black robe enter the side door of the palace gate and sighed thoughtfully.

"Why do you say this?"

"Mr. Zhao, don't tell me that Jingxi is making such a big noise. Now, I don't know how many people are trying to argue with the one named Pang at the dynasty meeting."

"The surname of Pang? Tsk tsk, does Lord Wang dislike Pang? It's a bit inappropriate to call him."

"Abstract, haha."

"But then again, today's court meeting is really going to be windy. Haven't you noticed that the adults came much earlier than usual today?"

The "master" in this sentence is not the name between them, but refers to the officials who can enter the palace through the side door without waiting for the palace gate to open. In the past, these officials did not come here so early. They could take a sedan chair after entering, and searched quickly when entering, so they didn't have to come so early.

"That's right, I've been in just now. It seems that I need to prepare in advance?"

"Okay, these are not something we can talk about. Is there anything that has something to do with us?"

"Yes, yes, what Lord Zhao said is very..."

Generally speaking, the third rank is another hurdle in the career of the official career. After the third rank, you will have the opportunity to "subscribe to the government affairs". Even if you are below the third rank, you will "report to report something" even if you come to the grand rank, or you will need to stand up and explain some things before you will be "inquired out of the work". Therefore, these people will laugh at themselves and say that it has nothing to do with them.

But is it really okay?

After careful observation, the people who gathered outside the palace gate chatted were filled with a bit of solemnity that they had never seen before. But everyone just said it tacitly.

At the beginning of Chen, the palace gate opened, and officials who had been waiting outside for a long time began to enter the door for inspection.

It mainly depends on whether there are any magic weapons or items that can cause threats, and check the identity.

In fact, soon, there were five checkpoints behind the door, and each person would not take more than ten breaths. There was definitely enough time for people to pass through in an orderly manner and arrive at Wanmin Palace on time.

Entering the palace gate, a straight road passes through the huge Yongsheng Square and then you can see two quid buildings. A magnificent palace rises from the ground in the middle, which is the largest palace in the Jingji Dynasty palace - Wanmin Palace.

The origin of the name of Wanmin Palace is said to be because the money and grain of the treasury comes from the people, and every brick and tile is the same. Therefore, the emperors and ministers who entered it did not forget their foundation in the name of the people.

Generally, the dynasty meeting will not be in Wanmin Palace but in Chengde Hall on the left side of Wanmin Palace. Only the dynasty meeting or important celebrations will be chosen here.

There are two steps in front of Wanmin Palace, with clouds in the middle, and civil and military divisions are divided into left and right, waiting in front of the hall according to their ranks. There is a star official holding a whip on the top of the stairs, and you can enter only if you whip sounds.

On the left is a civil servant and on the right is a military position. However, when the Jing Dynasty was respected by the left and the same title, the civil servants are now slightly higher than those on the left and right of this team.

The first civil servant is Ye Lansheng, the left prime minister standing at the forefront of the team, a civil servant with the perfect realm of the concentration of the gods.

The first person in the military position was Yang Yansi, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, who stood side by side with Ye Lansheng.

The civil and military court uniforms are also different. The civil servants have dark green court uniforms, and the embroidery is slightly different according to the position. The military officials have bright red as the background color, and the embroidery patterns are also different.

Everyone stands under the Palace of Wanmin with green on the left and red on the right, which is still very interesting to see from a distance.

However, the dark color difference on the right is also eye-catching.

Pang Ban is a martial arts profession, and his third-rank rank is still in front. He holds the flue plate and lowers his eyebrows and looks inconspicuous, but he deliberately keeps a distance from him, and is free of two positions in front and back than others.

Chen is here.

"Bang! Go to court..."

"Bang! Go to court..."

......

The star official on duty stood on the top of the steps, waved his long whip in his hand, and the whip exploded in the air, and then shouted loudly. At the same time, the gate of Wanmin Palace opened wide, and the gong meeting began to enter the hall.

When I entered the hall gate, a smell of sandalwood inside made me relax. I quickly found my own position and stood there without daring to make noise.

The entire hall is not magnificent. The overall color is cold, and there is not even much decoration. Apart from the huge stone pillars of several carved beasts in the hall, emptiness is the most direct sense here.

A three-story platform is located in front of it, nine feet above the ground, and the only chair in the hall is placed at the top.

The civil and military officials stood still, silently, and the entire hall was filled with a serious atmosphere. When the star official on duty sang "Your Majesty is here!", the atmosphere rose to the top, and then vented from the shouts of the officials in unison.

"See Your Majesty!"

The civil servant bowed deeply and knelt on one knee at the military position.

The emperor was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a crown on his head. He walked up to the high platform and sat down with his hands behind his back. He waved his hand and said with a gentle voice: "No gift. I haven't seen you for many days. Do you have any questions?"
