Chapter 137 The Great Court Meeting (Part 2)
There is a marble platform around the Taiji Hall, with beautiful pillars and railings on the outside. The eaves and corners of the walls of the hall are decorated and carved with gilded dragons, as well as various birds and beasts, as well as figures of soldiers and war pictures.
The front and rear corridors are in the style of a hard mountain. The roof of the hall is paved with yellow glazed tiles and trimmed with green trim. The main ridge is decorated with colorful glazed dragon patterns and flame beads.
It is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. The interior of the hall is "completely made in the Ming Dynasty" and decorated with colorful paintings. There are thrones and screens inside; there are incense burners, incense pavilions, and candlesticks on both sides. On the two corners of the platform in front of the hall, there is a sundial in the east and a Jialiang in the west.
What the whole style shows is not the extremely gorgeous wealth and grandeur, but the simple and solid heaviness.
When Fang Jun came outside Tai Chi Hall, many people stood quietly in the square outside the hall.
All wearing purple robes and goldfish bags, they are all officials of third rank or above.
These people were the actual controllers of the various state capitals of the Tang Dynasty. To a certain extent, they were the cornerstone of the empire.
There were so many high-ranking officials standing in silence, and the solemn atmosphere made Fang Jun feel depressed for no reason.
He lowered his head slightly and followed Changsun Wuji closely.
As for Liu Laoshi, who was carrying the wooden box next to him, his legs were almost weak...
Changsun Wuji walked up the white marble steps leading to the Tai Chi Hall with his chest held high and his hands behind his back. The officials waiting on both sides bowed and saluted as they passed by. Changsun Wuji did not return the greeting, but nodded with a smile without any pause.
Fang Jun looked enviously from behind.
This is status, this is aura! It can be said that the current Changsun Wuji is the person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the Tang Dynasty! Although his father, Fang Xuanling, had a high position and considerable power, due to his indifferent and low-key nature, he was destined to be unable to compete with Changsun Wuji.
While saluting Changsun Wuji, these officials naturally noticed Fang Jun who was following behind him.
These officials all worked in various state capitals, and almost no one thought of the second son of Fang Xuanling's family. Many people misunderstood that he might be the young master of Changsun Wuji's family.
It's just a little strange. Why is this kid carrying a wooden box into the Tai Chi Hall?
Could it be that they are using those flattering tricks again, taking advantage of this happy day to do something auspicious?
Therefore, everyone's eyes naturally looked a bit contemptuous.
Fang Jun was obviously aware of the strange atmosphere, and even received disdainful looks from several officials. He wondered in his heart, could it be that these old guys got up too early in the morning and were still angry after getting up?
Changsun Wuji walked straight into the main hall.
When Fang Jun arrived at the large door, he hesitated.
He looked back at the two rows of officials waiting at the foot of the steps, then stretched his neck and glanced at the empty hall, realizing that he had probably just received a wave of officials and was in the middle of an intermission.
Those guys from the Ministry of Etiquette are really good at getting things done, otherwise I don't know when it would be his turn.
Changsun Wuji walked a few steps and found that Fang Jun had not followed. When he turned around and saw this boy looking around hesitantly, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is taking advantage of the time to rest. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Why don't you just follow me?" I’m coming in?”
I thought to myself that this stick is not completely brainless. I am also aware that I am afraid of breaking the etiquette rules, so I am on guard in my heart. But if I want to dig a hole for you, will I be so simple that you notice it?
Fang Jun thought for a while and felt that even if the old Yin wanted to harm him, he would not be so low-level, so he followed Changsun Wuji into the main hall.
But when he took a step forward, he almost stumbled over. The wooden box in his hand suddenly became too heavy.
Looking back, Liu Laoshi's honest and dull old face was already pale. He was holding the box tightly with both hands. Big beads of sweat were falling down. When he looked down, the old carpenter had a pair of legs. It’s almost shaking into chaff...
Fang Jun was startled: "What happened?"
You look so ugly, are you sick?
Liu Laoshi forced out an expression that was uglier than crying, swallowed, and said with difficulty: "I...my legs are weak..."
Fang Jun was speechless. Was he scared?
He couldn't help but said angrily: "There is no future..."
Liu Laoshi was really about to cry. This was the Tai Chi Palace, and the emperor was sitting inside. How could I, a country man, not be nervous?
Fang Jun had no choice but to whisper: "Then wait for me outside first." He didn't dare to let Liu Laoshi enter the Tai Chi Hall. This old man's psychological quality was not good. Broken dishes.
How could he have imagined that he had the mental state of a time traveler who grew up in an era that emphasized the rule of law. He was more curious about the emperor, but he did not understand the power of the absolute power to control the lives and deaths of millions of people.
Besides, it was not the first time to meet the emperor, so he didn't seem so nervous.
Liu Laoshi nodded quickly as if he had received an amnesty, handed the wooden box to Fang Jun, turned around and moved down the steps step by step...
Fang Jun had no choice but to hold the big box and walk into Tai Chi Hall.
A curved shaft plow is not too heavy, and with his strength it is not troublesome, but coupled with this heavy box, it becomes a bit difficult. Gritting his teeth, he moved towards the main hall.
The guards standing solemnly at the entrance of the palace looked at Fang Jun in surprise, as if they had seen a monster...
In the main hall, someone was speaking impassionedly.
"People may say that you are rebelling, why?"
Some people say you want to rebel. What do you think about this?
Fang Jun was startled and took a sneak peek. The person speaking was none other than His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne. He was a bit far away and couldn't see His Majesty Li Er's face clearly, but those words were a bit serious.
It is said that His Majesty Li Er is very thoughtful and trusts his ministers, but I don’t know which minister is suspected by His Majesty Li Er?
But a roar sounded like thunder in the empty Tai Chi Hall.
"I followed Your Majesty in conquering the four directions and went through hundreds of battles. Those who survive today are all leftovers. The world has been settled, but I doubt that I will rebel!"
This man stood under the jade steps in front of His Majesty Li Er, speaking angrily and speaking righteously.
Before he finished speaking, he actually took off his clothes in front of everyone, revealing his upper body covered with scars.
His Majesty Li Er is embarrassed...
At this time, Fang Jun had followed Changsun Wuji to the middle of the hall. He could clearly see that His Majesty Li Er had a look of embarrassment and helplessness on both sides of his handsome and heroic face. He actually stood up from the throne, walked down quickly, and personally helped. The man put on his robe and said with a wry smile: "I am joking, why is Jingde so out of character?"
Fang Jun's eyes twitched, you are the emperor, aren't you Jun Wu? If you say that, who the hell can't be afraid...
His Majesty Li Er also saw Fang Jun coming in, but he had no time to pay attention to him. He comforted Yuchi Jingde first, and then asked with a gloomy face: "You have no official position, what crime should you be guilty of trespassing on the court?"
This is the rhythm of teasing the minister, but he will be slapped in the face and unable to get off the stage. He takes it out on me. Fang Jun is unable to complain...
There was a layer of white sweat on Fang Jun's head. He was very aware of His Majesty Li Er's unreasonable and shameless behavior. This old guy was in a bad mood. He might not have been rewarded, but would have been beaten first. .
He quickly put on a look of sincerity and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you don't blame me for this... We were queuing up outside the palace, and it was Uncle Changsun who said that he is your brother-in-law, and I am your future son-in-law. , we are all a family anyway, there is no need to deal with any unruly people, they can come in at any time..."
After saying that, he shouted to Changsun Wuji: "Uncle Changsun, you asked me to come in. Your Majesty wants to beat me, so you can't ignore it..."
Changsun Wuji's white face turned blue, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times. Looking at His Majesty Li Er who looked at him with a gloomy face, he squeezed out a smile that looked like he was crying: "Haha, this child..."
I was so angry that I almost pounced on and strangled this naughty kid to death...
I went to Shandong yesterday and just got home. I was on a tanker truck all the way back and forth, so I can’t update. I sincerely apologize...
