Chang 'an in autumn was refreshing.
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Chen An got out of bed and quickly washed up. Then, he picked up his small wooden sword from the table and stuck it at his waist like a scholar of the Tang Empire. He walked out of the bedroom…
Something big happened today, so he brought his small wooden sword just in case.
At the entrance.
Two Golden Guards were already waiting for him.
"An 'an, you must remember to bow when you see His Majesty, understand?”
Miss Chen draped a small red cloak over her son and stuffed two eggs into his mouth.
Miss Chen was very satisfied when she saw her son acting like a dashing little prince.
"Anan, eat some eggs on the way so you won't be hungry. Also, remember to bow when you see the emperor. Do you know?"
"I know, mother!"
Chen An nodded and followed the two Golden Guards to the Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial Palace. East Gate.
When Chen An arrived, there were already two long lines at the door.
Chang 'an officials from the fifth rank and above were all waiting to enter the palace.
Seeing the little fellow's arrival, the courtiers smiled but did not speak. The gazes were meaningful.
It was obvious that
everyone knew what the court meeting was about.
No one greeted the little fellow, and no one gave up their seats to the little fellow.
The little fellow was standing alone at the end of the line, looking a little shabby and pitiful
…
With a loud bang, the east gate opened.
The courtiers entered the palace one by one according to the order of their official positions.
After passing through the Outer Palace, Jiaotai Hall, Yongshou Hall, and the Outer Palace Garden, Chen An finally arrived at the entrance of Taiji Palace.
Taiji Palace was one of the three major inner palaces in Tang Imperial City.
It mainly included Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, Chengqing Hall, Martial Virtue Hall, Dew Hall, Lingyan Pavilion, etc.
The two emperors of the Tang Dynasty ruled in the Dew Hall of Taiji Palace.
Under the watchful eyes of the Golden Guards, the courtiers stepped through the Taiji Palace and quickly made their way to the center of the Great Tang.
When it was Chen An's turn…
"Stop!"
The general of the Golden Guards shouted.
Chen An stopped and raised his head, looking at the general in confusion.
"Wait here!"
The general said coldly without any explanation.
Chen An was speechless. He stood alone at the palace gate and watched the backs of the officials gradually leave…
No one came to help him.
No one spoke up for him.
The child's pitiful and helpless appearance made one's heart ache.
However, the general of the Golden Guards did not even look and continued to guard the palace gates.
Fifteen minutes later.
"The court session begins. Civil and military officials, enter the hall!”
The eunuch's sharp voice came from the palace.
All the officials walked into the Dew Hall in twos and threes.
"The emperor has arrived.”
"Long live my emperor!”
The ministers bowed and shouted long live.
"Everyone, please rise and sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials thanked him and returned to their seats, sitting cross-legged.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, retreat!”
"Your humble subject reports: Sichuan and Shu have an urgent document from yesterday. There is an 'earth dragon turning over' in the southwest, requesting the imperial court to provide disaster relief…" The
officials and ministers began to discuss the country's political affairs.
15 minutes, 25 minutes, 35 minutes…at the
entrance of Taiji Palace.
Chen An was getting impatient.
However, the Golden Guards guarding the palace gates were still like statues, blocking the entrance and not giving in.
Chen An was very depressed. After thinking about it, he turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, the Golden Guards were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Was he not going to wait for His Majesty to announce his appearance?
About 15 minutes passed.
Sounds came from the front. A little guy pushed a round stone stool and rolled over quickly.
Upon
seeing this scene, all twenty palace guards were dumbfounded.
F * ck, this, this…
this little top scorer is too bold, right?
It was his first time entering the palace, and he actually dared to bring the stone bench from the outer garden over?
Heavens!
Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, Chen An pushed a round stone stool to the entrance of Taiji Palace. Then, he turned the stone bench over, straightened it, and sat down.
Alright!
This time, the baby no longer had to wait!
The Golden Guards were dumbfounded,
dumbfounded,
and began to doubt their lives.
"General…General, how should we deal with this situation?”a Golden Guard soldier asked softly.
Hearing this, the general had a terrible headache.
How the f * ck do I know how to handle this?
This little fellow had violated the rules, right? He did not barge into the palace.
This little fellow was very well-behaved, right? He actually brought the stone bench from the outer garden over.
"General, why don't…why don't we report this to General Qin?”
Hearing this suggestion, the general of the Golden Guards thought for a moment and shook his head."Forget it, let's leave it at that! After all, he was only a seven-year-old child.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
The sage said: Respecting the old and loving the young is a Chinese virtue. Why not let this little guy sit down?
Just like that, Chen An sat on the stone bench and quietly looked at the Golden Guards in front of him.
The Golden Guards also looked at him quietly.
Everyone stared at each other and waited patiently for the emperor to summon them.
At the end of the morning (9 o'clock).
In the Hall of Dew.
The officials and ministers finally finished discussing the political affairs today.
At this moment.
Emperor Li Shi Min spoke.
"By the way, where's our gold department's top scholar? Have we reached the palace?"
Hearing this, all the officials in the court were immediately shocked.
It's coming, it's coming!
Today's highlight had finally arrived.
"Your Majesty, Chen An has entered the Imperial Palace and is waiting at the entrance of the Taiji Palace.”
The eunuch immediately replied.
Hearing this, Li Shi Min nodded,""Announce: The top scorer of the Golden Division, Chen An, enters the palace to meet the emperor!”
"Here!"
The eunuch agreed and then shouted.
"Announce: The top scorer of the gold division, Chen An, is entering the palace to meet the emperor!”
"Announce: The top scorer of the gold division, Chen An, is entering the palace to meet the emperor!”
"Announce: The top scorer of the gold division, Chen An, is entering the palace to meet the emperor!”
The
eunuchs of the inner palace took turns to call out names from the Dew Palace all the way to the inner palace gate.
Upon hearing the summons, the Golden Guards immediately made way.
The general cupped his fists at the little fellow and said,
"Scholar, the Emperor has summoned you to the palace." Please don't take offense to my previous duties!”
"I'm fine!"
Chen An waved his hand, jumped off the stone bench, and ran into Taiji Palace.
Along the way, there were palace guards who looked like statues everywhere.
Every twenty meters, there were eunuchs waiting for them.
"The champion has reached the Liangyi Palace!”
"The top scholar has arrived at Chengqing Hall!”
"The top scholar has reached the Martial Virtue Hall!”
Finally
, amidst the singing, Chen An arrived at the entrance of the Dew Palace, the ruling center of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, suddenly!
"Halt!"
"Qin Shubao," who was responsible for the safety of today's court meeting, instantly reached out and stopped Chen An.
"Unravel the sword!"
What was that? He wanted Baby to comprehend the sword?
"Why?" Chen An was very dissatisfied and immediately asked.
"The rules of the palace are: You are not allowed to bring a sword to court!”
"My mother personally cut this for me. It's a wooden sword. Do you understand wooden swords?”
"Uh, this, this…just you wait!”
The door god was in a difficult position and could only enter the hall to ask for instructions.
A moment later.
"The Emperor has spoken: Xu Zhuangyuan will enter the court with his sword!”
Hearing this, Chen An smiled. He hung a small wooden sword on his waist and swagaggered into the Dew Palace…
At this moment, no one knew what would happen next.
It was an extremely terrifying confrontation.
A terrifying little guy was about to take on a hundred people and shock the imperial court.
Today is still the same as before. Please support me, thank you!)
