Chapter 76

It is always very grand for the emperor to travel. Although the emperor and the queen only went out of the palace to listen to the Buddha chanting in the Ci'en Temple, the required etiquette and pomp were quite complicated and grand. Although not as grand as the annual announcement of the emperor's sacrifice to heaven, this time of going out of the palace was also a water pouring Street and blocking roads.

Zongzheng temple has always been a genealogy to serve the royal family, clan relatives and relatives, and to protect the Royal Mausoleum temple.

As Li Shimin once said, "Laozi is the ancestor of the Li family", Taoism is regarded as the national religion of the Tang Dynasty. Zongzheng temple has always been in charge of Taoists and monks.

Today is also the busiest time for Zongzheng temple. Yinshi has been busy with Taichang temple, which is in charge of the etiquette of Zong temple, Weiwei temple, which is in charge of honor guard and tent, and Taipu temple, which is in charge of chariots and horses.

Naturally, the palace was full of lights. The attendants, the guard, the qianniuwei, the maids and eunuchs all began to run back and forth in the palace for today's two protagonists.

"Liantie, you go Forget it. I'm afraid you won't see him. He'll listen to you. Send someone over and urge the prince to stay late. In the past few years, all the people in the East Palace have been used to him. By his temperament, he is not more urgent than usual Wu Mei is sitting on a chair with a huge mirror in front of her. The beauty in the mirror looks at the maid in the palace to help her curl her hair. She says with some worry.

Lian tie, who was respectfully waiting on the side, refused to let himself go. He was immediately relieved. If he urged him, he might be beaten out by the sleepy prince.

So he quickly found a maid who was favored by the crown prince from all around the palace, and motioned her to rush to the east palace to urge the prince.

"You're smart, and you know to send a maid of honor in front of the prince, but it's OK, so that the skin monkey won't really get angry." Wu Mei from the body in front of the mirror, looking at the leaving maid, said.

It's no wonder that Wu Mei, as the head of the Imperial Palace, is so concerned about the prince's affairs. However, she knows better than anyone else that there are any big ceremonial activities in the royal family. In the whole palace, the most leisure one is him.

And the most annoying thing is him. Spring ploughing is the first time for monkeys to have spring fever every year.

So since he was made the crown prince, Chungeng has participated in it once. As for other royal ceremonies, the skin monkey can run and hide when he can. If he can't hide, he can deal with a scene.

On the other side, the prince is being bathed and dressed by Bailu and Xiaoxue. Someone who is sleepy is standing there shaking and letting Bailu and Xiaoxue play with each other.

Bai Chun looked at the arrival of the maiden, smiling, pointed to the inside and said: "you go back to tell the queen, the prince will be waiting for your majesty and the queen in chengtianmen on time, this is not, is now bathing and changing clothes."

"Yes, Miss White." After the timid salute, the maiden rushed back.

After being waited on by Bailu and Xiaoxue, Li Hong ran out with long hair: "was it the Empress Dowager who sent someone to urge him just now?"

"Yes, the queen was worried, so she sent someone to urge you." Bai Chun smiles back.

Li Hong yawned and sat down on the chair in front of Bai Chun's body. After looking at the sky outside, Li Hong said helplessly, "don't tie your hair too tight. Your scalp hurts."

"It's not right. Today's business is presided over by the Ministry of rites and the Zongzheng temple. I heard that the Yushitai is also followed by someone. If you do, the Ministry of rites and Yushitai will have to trouble you again." Bai Chun chuckled playfully, stroked Li Hong's long black hair, and smelled and said.

"It's been bad luck for these two days. I was trapped by Xu Jingzong's old bastard yesterday. Today, I have to stay with the Ministry of rites and the imperial historian's platform, which have never paid for them. Alas Life is hard. " Li Hong lets Bai Chun bundle his hair and grumbles.

The three provinces and six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors, as well as the Yushitai, were the most unforgettable of Li Hong.

It's needless to say that if the crown prince is not impeached several times every month every year, it always feels that every day of every year has not been completed and is incomplete, as if something is missing.

However, Li Hong and the Ministry of rites have always been disagreeable with each other. Since Dai Zhide was appointed Minister of the Ministry of rites, he has been fighting with Li Hong.

The Ministry of Rites has always been in charge of the imperial examination and the things to be learned. Therefore, Li Hong was good at changing Chongwen hall, including the reform of Guozijian and hongwenguan, and naturally had a good relationship with Dai Zhide.

In addition, the Ministry of rites was also in charge of guest etiquette, as well as foreign or foreign affairs. Li Hong had always been a repressive policy towards Japan, Korea, Baiji and other countries in the western regions.

This is incompatible with the moralization policy that Dai Zhide has always advocated. Therefore, as long as Dai Zhide and Li Hong meet, they will pinch each other if they don't have a few words.

After Li Hong was granted the title of minister of the Ministry of Finance yesterday, some officials joked with Dai Zhide after going to the court and said, "Dai Shangshu, your majesty, is it hard to see you two pinching in private, so that you can be brought to the court to show him openly and honestly?"

"Dai Shangshu, you are more than 50 years old. What do you think about a child? Isn't it true that Guozijian and hongwenguan have not been attacked? What's more, Yang Sijian is not in a hurry. What's your hurryDai Zhide will not care about these jokes. His old face turned black and said, "I'm not afraid that he is the prince."

As long as he thinks that the students will be educated and not learn the ancient books of the sages, but to fiddle with those messy things, he feels that he has the responsibility to defend the next generation of students and the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the officials of the imperial court are often joking, everyone is still looking forward to how the two powerful ministers will fight each other in the court.

Think of the old and the young in the court, each insisting on his own words, and the picture of you and I quarreling with each other, which makes them look forward to it.

"If you don't want to say a few words, why don't you do it according to your will, the Guozijian and hongwenguan?" White pure edge helps him to tie hair, side says.

"Well, that's not the same. Dai Zhide feels a bit like Wei Zheng now. He can't be rigid." Dai Zhide can't help but shake his head.

"Don't move. I've just finished your hair." Bai Chun gently reminded him, "then you don't have to quarrel with him all the time. Recently, the quarrel between you two in front of the Imperial College every day attracted a large number of people to come to see it. What's more, it's something that man Chao knows all the time."

"Well, if you don't tell me, I'll be honest today. I'll just give him a handle. By the way, who will go to Yushitai? Don't tell me it's Wang Yifang! "

After Li Hong finished his crown, the bright yellow crown prince's clothes were worn on him, and the dragon shaped jade pendant on his waist was shining in the light. The whole person looked more energetic and handsome than usual.

Of course, except for the slight bad smile at the corner of her mouth, which seems to be a sign, Bai Chun still has the idea of whether this guy is making trouble again when he sees it. No wonder the queen wants to beat him every time she sees his bad smile.

"It's almost time. Wait at the gate of heaven. The Royal etiquette is really killing." Li Hong murmured discontentedly that the summer solstice and Xiaohan had been waiting at the door.

The eastern skyline lit up slightly, and the prince's chariot had stopped at the door before the emperor and the empress came out, while the relevant personnel of the Ministry of rites and the Zongzheng temple were waiting in line.

Dai Zhide and the Minister of Zongzheng temple were waiting in the imperial palace. After hearing Bai Chun's signal that there was no one in the Imperial Palace, Li Hong immediately got out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. Anyway, he had to send his father and mother's greetings later, and it would be fine to get down early.

Compared with the ceremonious activities such as offering sacrifices to heaven and other activities, the whole Royal travel team is much simpler. However, in Li Hong's eyes, this is a ceremony that makes him feel headache.

For him, every time he takes part in such activities, he has an impulse to be possessed by gods and ghosts. In addition, he was originally an atheist with a strange identity of nine to ten generations. He was originally atheistic, but somehow his heart became a little awed.

On both sides of Chengtian gate, qianniuwei, wearing bright armor, stood on both sides. The horizontal sword on his waist did not come out of the sheath, which gave people a chill. The horse's name in his hand reflected the chilling light.

All of a sudden, the sound of rites and music came to mind in Chengtian gate. First, six leading banners and twelve banners came out, and two county magistrates of Chang'an were mixed among them. Then the Qing Tour team, holding bows, crossbows and horse names, cleared the road for the last time. Flags such as wind, rain, lightning, gold, wood, water, fire and earth led the ritual department, Zongzheng temple and other temples and ministers to open the road in front of them.

Instead of the ceremony of guiding and driving twelve times, the emperor's Dragon chariot and the empress's Phoenix chariot poured out. Naturally, qianniuwei's strict protection was indispensable. Behind the two carriages, of course, there are ritual music and various fan screens, small round fans, peacock fans, square fans, and so on.

The Royal dignified guard of honor stops at the gate of Chengtian, and Dai Zhide, the Minister of rites, runs to the front of the gate, whistling about the sky and the earth.

At this time, Li Hong, accompanied by the officials at all levels of the prince's mansion, came to the emperor's Dragon chariot to salute and kneel down, followed by the empress's Phoenix chariot. He knelt down one by one and stood at the bottom. After the emperor's car began to move, he could return to his car and follow closely.

Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, shangguanyi and the prince's three young masters followed the prince to greet him. After the ceremony, Li Hong looked at Xu Jingzong and whispered, "how did you come here? Stay away from me today. I'm angry when I see you. You know why! "

Wu Mei looks through the window and looks at Li Hong and Xu Jingzong biting their ears. She knows that the boy has not taken this trip to the Ci'en Temple seriously. However, she feels a little comforted when she sees that she doesn't have a yawn.
