The prime ministers first entered the Daming Palace from the Dailu Courtyard, and the remaining ministers also followed the prime ministers and entered the palace in neat rows.
Hanyuan Hall is the largest palace in the Daming Palace, but it cannot accommodate all the officials in Chang'an.
Only officials from the fifth rank and above are qualified to enter the Hanyuan Hall and participate in the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting.
The remaining officials, such as seventh-rank officials like Wang Chengwei, stood in the corridor on the eaves of the Hanyuan Palace Palace to participate in the grand ceremony of the Hanyuan Palace.
The Zhengdan court meeting would also invite envoys from tributary countries and envoys from each vassal town to enter the palace, so after Wang Chengwei stood under the eaves, Shang Bo took Wei Yuan into the Hanyuan Hall.
On the other side, many officials looked curiously at the stage set up on the square outside Hanyuan Hall. Yesterday's Nuo dance had ended, why was this stage still set up outside Hanyuan Hall?
The stage at this time was covered with cloth, and it was hard to see what it was used for. As soon as the curious young official stretched out his head, he was frightened by a cough from the patrolling censor and he turned his head back.
When Shang Bo entered the Hanyuan Hall, the hall was already filled with officials in red and purple official robes.
Under the imperial steps, several adult princes of the emperor stood. A bead curtain was set up on one side of the hall, and behind them sat the princess and his wife.
As the envoy of the King of Yue, Shang Bo could only stand in the last row of envoys.
The envoys left behind by Jiedu envoys such as Shang Bo are considered normal. The envoys from small tributary countries all wear the national costumes of their own countries, and even wear bare-chested savage costumes.
After all the officials stood still, Li Fuguo walked to the imperial steps and shouted: "The auspicious time has come! Your Majesty is going to court!"
I only saw Emperor Li Heng, the ninth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, coming in from the main hall and walking slowly towards the dragon chair along the imperial steps.
Li Heng was wearing a twelve-stripe imperial crown and a dragon robe worn only on formal occasions. He sat high on the throne and looked at the ministers in front of him.
Li Fuguo shouted again: "O ministers, worship!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Under the leadership of the prime ministers, the ministers chanted long live to the emperor and formally performed a worship ceremony.
Etiquette in the Tang Dynasty was not as strict as it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On weekdays, prime ministers and emperors did not need to kneel down when discussing matters.
However, the Zhengdan Festival is an important annual ceremony, and the prime minister also has to pay homage. This majestic ceremony of kneeling officials made Li Heng feel that every pore was stretched.
It’s no wonder that the emperor likes these ceremonies the most. Sitting on the throne and receiving worship from the ministers is indeed the most enjoyable thing in the world!
After the ministers had finished paying homage, Li Heng said, "The emperor had a cold a few days ago. Although the imperial doctor has made a diagnosis, he is still very tired, so the emperor will not attend today's meeting."
It was expected that the Emperor would not attend the court meeting. Since returning to Luan Chang'an, the Emperor had not left Xingqing Palace except to pay homage to the grave of his son Yong Wang.
The emperor withdrew from almost all political activities in Chang'an, which also made many ministers breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, there is only one day in the sky, and the Tang Dynasty really can't stand the trouble.
There was no emperor present, there was no trouble with etiquette, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, the emperor summarized the major events of the imperial court in the second year of Zhide in an edict of forty-six parallel prose.
He moved from Lingwu to Fengxiang Mansion, put down the rebellion along the way, and finally recovered the two capitals and returned the capital to Chang'an. The ministers present were also very moved. It has only been two years since His Majesty took the throne. Now Hedong has surrendered, and the world is almost peaceful. This can be considered
He is the master of ZTE.
However, the emperor only read half of the parallel prose edict before giving it to Li Fuguo to read aloud. There was a brief commotion among the officials, and everyone was worried about the emperor's physical condition.
After all, Li Heng was known for his frail health before he ascended the throne, and it took too much effort to quell the chaos. In the past few months, news of the emperor's poor health had spread widely.
Shangbo still has first-hand information in this regard. According to Princess Yanguang, the emperor's headaches have become much more serious during these days, even to the point where he is unable to handle government affairs.
The emperor could only give the edict to Li Fuguo to read aloud, and then asked Empress Zhang to write down her opinions and send them to the ministers again.
The most serious incident was that the emperor fainted during a meeting with the prime ministers. Although the imperial doctor later diagnosed that there was nothing serious, the prime ministers were on duty in the palace for a week, which shows that the prime ministers were worried about the emperor's health.
After Li Fuguo finished reading the edict, Li Heng opened his eyes.
After summarizing, the next step is the highlight of this Zhengdan court meeting, which is the presentation of gifts to the emperor.
This year's Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting is of special significance. It is the first Zhengdan Dynasty Party held by the emperor in Hanyuan Hall after the Tang army stormed to recapture the two capitals.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the prince and King Qi.
According to the order, first the tributary countries of the foreign vassals presented gifts to the emperor, then the officials and ministers presented gifts, and finally the princes presented congratulatory gifts.
Just when the Uighur envoy stepped out, he heard a female voice say from behind the bead curtain:
"Father, my daughter has something to say."
Everyone looked at the bead curtain, and it turned out to be Princess Yanguang speaking to the emperor.
Princess Yanguang said: "My daughter has rehearsed a song and dance and wants to present it to my father. Please allow me to be the first to present the gift."
It is normal for the royal court to present music and dance to the emperor during the first day of service. Princess Yanguang is the emperor's daughter, so it is understandable to offer such a gift.
Li Heng was also in a good mood. He was very satisfied that his daughter could show such filial piety. He heard that Princess Yanguang was rehearsing this music and dance before returning to Luan Chang'an, which made Li Heng feel that his daughter was attentive.
"Accurate!"
The emperor issued an order, and Li Fuguo stood on the imperial steps and shouted: "Princess Yanguang is expected to present singing and dancing!"
The eunuch standing at the door of the hall then shouted: "Princess Yanguang is about to present a song and dance!"
The eunuchs passed the message one after another, and their voices echoed in the square outside Hanyuan Hall. The officers of the Shence Army guarding the palace gate received the order and opened the palace door. Yu Xiaoxiao and Su Nuan walked into the outside of Hanyuan Hall with their music and dance troupe.
on the square.
The little eunuchs rushed into the square and took away the cloth covering the stage. Eunuch Mu turned on the camera. The eunuchs rehearsed this action of removing the cloth no less than ten times. In terms of the neatness of the performance, even in later generations
Even Lao Mouzi would be defeated in the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Chengwei, who was standing outside the main hall, saw the musical instruments hidden under the cover. A device composed of copper pipes like a hill appeared in the square outside Hanyuan Hall. The young officials looked at the device in confusion.
What is this? Is this a musical instrument?
Wang Chengwei looked at this strange device made of copper pipes and couldn't help but sigh that players still know how to play it.
When Su Nuan proposed the idea of using a piano to replace Zhong Qing, the players quickly rejected it.
Chime and chime have rich tones, so how can they be replaced by a piano?
Moreover, there was no amplification device in this era. If you played the piano in the square outside Hanyuan Hall, the sound would not reach the Hanyuan Hall at all.
Are we really looking for musicians who can play Zhong Qing?
At this time, Lu Hang put forward his new suggestion.
Lu Hang is the player who opened a musical instrument store in Longyou. The pianos in Su Nuan's Pipa store were designed and installed by Lu Hang.
Lu Hang’s suggestion is that since the piano is not good, then build a pipe organ in the square outside Hanyuan Hall!
As a musical instrument lover, if there is any musical instrument that is the hardest to come into contact with and the hardest to make in reality, it must be the pipe organ.
For most musical instruments, as long as you have certain hands-on skills and a little knowledge of music theory, you can make a similar one.
But the pipe organ is different. This thing first needs space.
As religious instruments, early pipe organs were built into churches.
The entire church is the resonating chamber of a pipe organ!
While other musical instruments are played indoors, the pipe organ is simply a building!
As an obsessed musical instrument lover, Lu Hang's biggest dream is to DIY a pipe organ.
However, in the real world, this dream may never be realized.
After all, in reality, the value of a pipe organ is tens of millions, not to mention the value of the building and land where the pipe organ can be placed.
But Lu Hang didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to realize his dream in the game.
Su Nuan reported this plan to the princess, and Princess Yanguang used her savings to support Lu Hang's plan to build pipe organs in the Tang Dynasty.
After a month of hard work on the game, and with Guo Ping's help, this huge pipe organ, which is placed in the center of Hanyuan Hall Square and uses the entire Hanyuan Hall Square as its resonance chamber, was finally designed and manufactured.
Lu Hang didn't even have a chance to debug it, so he hurriedly built the organ in Hanyuan Palace Square.
Su Nuan was also very excited to be able to play this king of musical instruments with her own hands. In reality, she didn't even have the chance to touch a pipe organ, let alone a pipe organ specially built for her to play.
Su Nuan and the musicians stepped onto the accompaniment stage first, and twenty young eunuchs gathered under the organ. They pulled up the levers of the bellows and began to inject air into the pipes of the organ.
Su Nuan pressed the keys, and the first note jumped out from the sound pipe. With the rebound and superposition of the walls of Hanyuan Palace, a magnificent note jumped out.
The monarchs and ministers sitting in the main hall were also amazed by the powerful tone of this note.
At this time, other musicians also began to play, and the rapid sound of pipa and simple sheng sounded in the square, but they could not stop the powerful notes of the pipe organ.
As the playing gradually became faster and the rumbling drums sounded, Li Heng felt that he was on the battlefield, facing the enemy's formation, and the chilling atmosphere made the battle imminent.
Musical notes like gold and stone echoed in the square, and the beat of drums was accompanied by the sound of footsteps. A group of dancers in bright silver armor stepped onto the stage in the square.
The emperor suddenly stood up from his throne and said to Li Fuguo: "I want to go outside the palace to take a look!"
