Chapter 118: Greeting people before they arrive

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up quickly, wake up quickly. Your Majesty has already made a decree. Today is your first time entering the court. You must not neglect it. If there is any delay, Your Majesty will blame you.

The servant can't afford it." Xiao Qing did not dare to call loudly for fear of frightening Li Yu, so she could only stand at the bedside anxiously and helplessly calling Li Yu to get up and change clothes.

It was still dark at this time, and it was as dark as the night before dawn. Li Yu, who had been accustomed to a biological clock of sleeping from six to nine in his previous life, was now sleeping soundly. Xiaoqing's soft call only made Li Yu

Yu stopped showing the strange smile from time to time on her face while she was sleeping. When Xiaoqing stopped calling, Li Yu pursed her lips, turned over, turned around, and continued to sleep soundly.

.

"Your Highness, we have to go to court today, what should we do?" At this time, in addition to Xiao Qing anxiously calling Li Yu, there was another person who was even more anxious. Chen Gonghe was already waiting outside the door of the west wing.

For a long time, I clasped my hands and walked around the door nervously for dozens of times. I thought to myself, Your Highness, you are so anxious, old slave. Why don't you get up? You know, today His Majesty wants you to go to court and listen.

How could this be delayed on the first day of public discussion on state affairs?

Thinking of this, Chen Gonghe was so anxious that he felt fierce in his heart. He pushed the door fiercely and walked in. He fell to the ground and shouted: "Your Highness, something bad is going to happen..."

Hearing a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Li Yu was so frightened that he rolled out of bed. In a daze, he opened his fluffy eyelids and said: "What's wrong? What's wrong? There's an earthquake, or there's a tsunami. It's midnight.

, what are you doing if you don’t even sleep?"

When Li Yu woke up from the fright, he saw Chen Gonghe kneeling in front of him and the maid Xiaoqing standing beside him. He quickly asked: "It's midnight, you two are not sleeping in your room, what are you doing here yelling?"

What big thing can happen at this time, even if a thief comes, it depends on the time, it will be either in the middle of the night, or in the early morning, how can you come to torment people in the middle of the night like you."

"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's already Yin time. The ministers from the previous court are already waiting outside the palace gate, but you are still sleeping soundly. Your Majesty blames you for delaying your first court appearance.

This old slave can't bear it." Chen Gonghe urged with fear.

"Yes, Your Highness, if you are not ready to change clothes yet, as the steward said, your time to go to court will definitely be delayed. Don't sleep anymore. Now that you are awake, quickly let the slaves help you change clothes."

As he said that, he brought the prince's court uniform that had been prepared.

At this time, the streets of Liyang City were deserted. There were very few pedestrians on the streets. Even the vendors and vendors showed no signs of success. An extremely luxuriously decorated carriage flew alone through the deserted streets. The horse driving the car

With its fat butt and strong legs, you can tell at a glance that it is not a good horse that ordinary people can raise.

The driver was a skinny old black man, and in front of him sat a man in his fifties with a fair face and no beard. He seemed to be very anxious, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere.

The carriage came out from the gate of the Prince's Mansion and kept running wildly in the direction of Da Shen's imperial palace. It was Li Yu, Chen Gong and their entourage who were anxiously rushing to go to court. The person driving the carriage turned out to be the captain of the task force, Yu Canghai.

Li Yu, who was constantly tossing her about changing clothes, washing up, and stroking her hair, was as sleepwalking as if she were sleepwalking. After being checked many times by her maid, Xiao Qing, she waited until she was sure that she was not uncomfortable with her clothes, headgear, and jade pendants.

His Highness, who was a little confused, came up and boarded the carriage to the palace.

Although the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace are both located in the center of Liyang City, there is still some distance between the two places, and it would probably take half an hour for the carriage to gallop, so this is also the reason for Chen Gonghe's hurry.

Li Yu, who was in the carriage, was very depressed. What was this? He opened the curtain and carefully observed the sky outside. It was estimated that it was the end of the Yin hour and the beginning of the Mao hour, which was equivalent to five o'clock in the morning in the previous life.

Around, and I’m afraid it wasn’t even four o’clock before the person who woke me up just now. The evil old feudal society is just different from the new era of the 21st century in the previous life. Even the time when the construction started in the previous dynasty was so different. No wonder they are all called feudal.

The dynasty system is a tortured era. Li Yuke now deeply understands this. Damn it, wasn't it just the last dynasty? As for such a mobilization of troops, a beautiful dream of mine has just begun.

Chen Gonghe and his maid Xiaoqing tortured him continuously to force him to go to court, and were ruthlessly strangled.

When the carriage arrived in front of a tall and magnificent palace, the speeding carriage finally stopped slowly. Chen Gonghe said anxiously: "Your Highness, get off the car as soon as you arrive. The ministers have already started to line up to go to court.

, If His Highness comes a little later, he will probably be delayed."

Li Yu ignored Chen Gonghe's words, just got out of the car silently, and looked towards the palace gate from a distance. There were large areas of black generals and ministers wearing various court uniforms, lined up in two long queues.

One after another, they slowly entered the big red palace gate.

"Mr. Chen, how am I going to follow you? Are you leading the way? Or is there someone to take care of you? Your Highness is a stranger in this place, and his eyes are dark. How do you want me to find a place to go to court?" Li Yuye

I saw it, but I don’t know the specific location or who I entered with.

"Your Highness, this old servant is not allowed to enter during this court meeting. The rest is up to you. But you don't have to worry too much. Just follow those people in. The old servant thought, since His Majesty asked His Highness to come up.

The court will definitely instruct someone to arrange the reception, so you can just go."

Hearing what Chen Gonghe said, it seemed that the following people really had to fumble their way in by themselves. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move forward quickly, running to catch up with the ministers who had already entered the palace gate.

, followed the last court official whose identity was unknown, and followed closely step by step, fearing that he would be lost for a while and could not find the place where he went to court.

He kept following the people in front of him until he stopped at a place where he was writing a letter to the government hall. At this time, all the ministers stopped and started whispering to each other. Some people even let out an uncontrollable "jealousy" from time to time.

Laughing, it seemed like he was talking about something fun. His emotions were at their best. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to arrive and start chatting.

There was a large group of people in the dark, making a lot of noise, talking to each other, and it was very comfortable. However, Li Yu didn't know anyone, so he could only stand aside and look around like a fool.

.

"My lord, you look a bit familiar, but I don't know where you are. I haven't seen you before. I wonder if I can ask you something?" Standing in front of Li Yu was a court official in his twenties with facial features.

He was upright, but his skin was as black as coal, and there was a trace of misery between his brows.

Faced with the sudden question, Li Yu was caught off guard. How could he answer it? Did he tell him that he was the future emperor and crown prince? But he acted so carefully that no one would believe his identity, so he didn't tell him.

Then he seemed a little rude. In a moment of embarrassment, he muttered for a long time without saying a single word.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can ask this old servant to search for you. I have been waiting for His Highness at the palace gate for a long time. I am afraid that His Highness will go to court for the first time. Some of the etiquettes are not correct and there are deviations. It is related to the dignity of the royal family. This is

I came here to tell you that what I didn’t expect is that I have been looking for His Highness for a long time, but I didn’t see you. Fortunately, I met Your Highness here, otherwise I would not have been able to find you when I went to court. Your Majesty blamed it, and I will have it.

I’ve suffered.”

Just when Li Yu didn't know what to say, a great savior appeared. Wu Shouli, the deputy chief eunuch of the palace, appeared at this time and was more popular with Li Yu than at any other time.

At this time, Wu Shouli was out of breath. This guy had been looking for him for a long time. He didn't see it until now. Although the lamps in the palace courtyard were lit, the light of the candles couldn't be compared with the lights in the previous life. Plus, the sky...

There is still some time between Se' and Daliang, and everything seems to be dark. There are so many high officials in the previous court, many of them can't even enter the palace. They have to wait outside the palace, waiting for the emperor to summon him when he shows mercy. Maybe they can meet the emperor.

side.

"Your Highness, Prince." The courtier who had just finished asking Li Yu quickly looked at Li Yu's face carefully under the dim light of the lamp. When he saw that Li Yu was wearing a gold crown made of gold silk, and a fine silk court dress.

, decorated with a bright yellow ribbon around his waist, he looked majestic and handsome. This outfit looked so familiar, but after just a moment of hesitation, he was shocked, and for a moment he was frightened, and his heart palpitated.

I can't help but think that the unique symbol of the bright yellow ribbon on the waist is clearly that in this great Shen Dynasty, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am afraid that no one dares to wear the prince's tribute uniform so brightly and swagger through the city, right?

"Your Majesty Bao Zixuan, I bow to His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" When he saw the eunuch deputy chief Wu Shouli's eagerness to please him in every possible way, the dark-skinned court official understood the Qingming Festival and accepted it without any hesitation.

He kowtowed with his head and called Chitose repeatedly.

All the ministers are used to shouting long live, long live, long live and so on after going to court, but because everyone is waiting for the Holy Emperor to come to the court, usually the eunuch first delivers the message, such as "Go to court"

"..." Then everyone will see His Majesty sitting on the dragon throne. At this time, the ministers will begin to line up according to their rank and enter the palace, perform some obeisances, and at the same time shout "long live" or something, just to express their feelings.

The supreme authority of the imperial power.

When this dark-skinned court official found out that the weak-headed man behind him was actually His Royal Highness, how could he not come to worship him? But it didn't matter what he said. There was already a group of anxious ministers waiting for the emperor to come to court.

, although some were chatting, they also had their own thoughts. In fact, at this moment, their hearts were like frightened birds that could not bear the slightest fright. It happened that the black charcoal court official was bowing to Li Yu, and because of this, everyone present was shocked.

Everyone thought that the emperor had arrived, and those who heard the call threw themselves on the ground. Those who did not hear the call, and those who did not know what the situation was, saw others in such a state, and they quickly fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "

Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The scene was so loud that Li Yu was dumbfounded, but Bao Zixuan, the official of the Hei Tan court, looked confused and doubtful... While the ministers were prostrating, the emperor who had just gotten up, changed clothes and washed up

Before Li Zhi left the dormitory, he suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of the courtiers prostrating themselves. He was confused for a moment. He hadn't even gone to court yet, but the sound of worship from the political hall was really coming.

What's going on, I haven't even gone to court yet, and the ministers have started to kowtow? It's either that someone is 'confused', messed up, overstepped the boundaries, sought power to usurp the throne, and come to court on my behalf, or that all the ministers have taken the wrong 'medicine'
