After three melodious bells, the left and right axillary doors of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City opened.
The civil servants are on the left and the military officers are on the right.
It is said that when the Ming Dynasty was first founded, because there were too many people attending court meetings, crowding incidents occurred at every court meeting, which was very embarrassing.
Therefore, it was clearly stipulated in the later revised Ming Dynasty Code.
The general enters first, followed by the civil servants, then the princes, princes and princes, and then the civil servants.
But rules are rules, and the facts are another matter. None of the princes of the Ming Dynasty had the official positions and titles of generals on their heads.
Therefore, generally speaking, the military attachés come first and the civil servants follow behind.
But now this phenomenon has improved greatly. The older generation of noble military nobles do not care about military affairs and are taking care of themselves at home. The second generation of the military are at least much more modest in temper than the older generation.
After the bell rang, civil and military officials began to file in.
Zhu Gaochi was at the front of the queue of civil servants. His status was equal to that of a prince, so he walked in the front.
On the military attaché side, Duke Chang Sheng of Zheng was in the lead, followed by Ping An, the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, and Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, followed by Duke Fu Rang of Ying, Lan Chun, Duke Bao, and others.
If Li Jinglong were in the capital, in terms of official position and title, he would be tied for first place with Chang Sheng.
Although the doors were opened on both sides at the same time, all civil and military officials entered at the same time.
But it was obvious that the civilian officials were walking very slowly. The military attachés strode with their heads held high, as if they were marching in a hurry, and their footsteps were thundering.
Zhu Gaochi tried his best, but couldn't keep up with the military attache.
At this moment, Zhang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, whispered behind Zhu Gaochi, "Your Highness, please walk slowly and pay attention to Fengyi?"
"Are you afraid that if you take too long a step, you might tear your balls?"
Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart, glanced at the weak civil servants behind him, and cursed in his heart, "Next time I will side with the military attachés!"
The procession of officials entered through the Meridian Gate and headed towards Fengtian Gate.
The sun shone down on the sky and the earth, and the towering Fengtian Palace was bathed in the sun, as dazzling as a golden mountain. All the ministers did not dare to look up and looked directly, and they became more and more humble and respectful.

The same sunlight is dazzling when it falls on the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City.
But falling on those green and vibrant seedlings in the field is particularly soft and pleasant.
And there is wind, which makes those branches and leaves stretch gracefully.
It seems that these seedlings are alive and smiling at the farmers who cultivate them.
Zhu Ru opened the door and frowned slightly as he looked at the pair of cloth shoes outside the door that were still stained with yesterday's mud.
Then his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure on the slope field not far away.
In the ridge of the field, the man's back was bent, and he gently and carefully picked out the weeds hidden in the field.
From time to time, he yelled and cursed, "Damn it, you won't grow if you don't give me fat, and if you give me too much, the grass will come out again! Damn it, we really should arrest all those plagued scholars who say farming is easy.
Give each person a hoe and let them farm!"
From the sound of his voice and his silhouette, he knew it was the old man.
Zhu Ju looked at the sky, stretched out his hand to call a young eunuch, and whispered, "When did the Supreme Emperor get up!"
"Back to Fifth Master, the old emperor got up at the same moment as Yin Zheng and went straight to the ground without breakfast!" the young eunuch said in a low voice.
Zhu Rui was startled and continued to ask, "He...is like this every day?"
"yes!"
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, the old man's voice came from over there, "You just got up when the sun was shining on your buttocks. When you got up, you saw your father working in the fields. How dare you stand there and watch? Get over here! You
What a bitch!"
"Hey!" Zhu Zhu hurriedly agreed, put on his mud-stained cloth shoes, and ran towards the slope field.
"You've always loved playing tricks since you were a child." The old man said reluctantly, "You're such an adult, but you're still so ignorant!"
"Father, my son is here!"
Zhu Ru smiled bitterly and walked towards the hillside. The next second he felt his feet go soft, there was a crackling sound, and there was a fishy smell.
I looked down and saw a yellow sticky circle around the edge of the shoe...
"Ugh! Ugh!"
On the spot, he started to scream.
"What are you doing?" the old man cursed again.
Pu Butheng came down from behind the old man, walked to Zhu Zhu, lowered his head and looked up, then raised his head and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Master stepped on shit!"
"Who did it?" The old man was furious, "Who?" He continued to curse, "Who dares to poop in our field? Who is it? You are screwed up!"
Pu Bucheng looked down again and said, "Your Majesty, it must have been pulled by the pig that ran into the field when you got up in the morning to herd the pigs!"
"Ugh!" Zhu Xi disgustedly rubbed his shoes on the muddy ground with the yellow and sticky stuff on them.
But it doesn't matter if you don't rub it. Once you rub it, the smell will get worse.
"Look at your bearish look!" the old man scolded, "Have you never seen pig poop? Damn it, do you think you are a young man from a rich family? Get over here!"
Zhu Tong had just woken up in the morning, and before his mind was clear, he was scolded by the old man several times. He had planned a lot of ideas in his mind on how to please the old man, but all of them were gone at this moment.
"You! Hey!" The old man was holding a hoe, looking at his son who had his head hanging down as if he was defeated, and said with hatred, "Qinqin, what are you doing with your head? I'll scold you and you will become wilted?"
"As he spoke, he tapped Zhu Xi's chest and said, "Your father scolded you a few times. You are so virtuous. Your mind is as confused as a mush. You are afraid of this and that. If you meet an outsider, you will be like a follower.
You act arrogantly only to have others bully you to death!"
"Father!" Zhu Xi raised his head, feeling a little aggrieved. He couldn't figure out why the old man was so angry when he woke up so early in the morning.
"You, you are so strong on the outside, but on the inside..." As he said, the old man tapped Zhu Ju's chest again, "You are soft and timid!"
"son...."
The old man was even more angry when he was like this, "They say we scold you, but look at you, you can't even murmur a useful word even though you've been mumbling for a long time! You don't know what to say, and you don't have the eyesight to see you. It's none of your business."
You don’t know how to do it, you’re quite beautiful, right?”
Suddenly, Zhu Xi seemed to understand that the old man's words did not seem to be scolded casually, but had a certain meaning.
"You, you can't become a great person, you just have a good life, we beat you out of it!" The old man snorted again, glanced at Zhu Xi's shoes, "What happened to the pig manure? In the first fifty years, I saw your father.
You have to pick up the pig manure and take it home. This is good fertilizer! You can’t even stand the smell when you come here? You can’t stand the smell. Have you ever smelled the stink of dead people?”
Zhu Ru raised his head and said, "It's my son who is incompetent. Father, please calm down!"
"We're not angry, we're just angry!" The old man rolled his eyes at him, "I'll find you a nice job today." He said, pointing to the top of the hill, "Go and dig up the dung heap over there with that four or five-pointed knife."
. Manure must be thoroughly exposed to the sun to be fat. Just like a human being, it must be solid inside and out in order to be able to stand! Go!"
From the beginning to now, Zhu Xi has said a complete sentence.
Not daring to say any more, he bravely headed towards the top of the mountain.
~~
"Humph!" The old man looked at his back and shook his head, "He was asked to walk on these two trails, as if he was caught in the wind!"
"You need to calm down!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile, holding a bowl of water, "Fifth Master is confused by your scolding!" He said with a smile, "You also know that Fifth Master has been like this since he was a child, and he gets confused when he is scolded.
!”
"Huh, so let's say he can't achieve anything big. He can be confused by just a few scoldings, so what else can he do?" The old man drank water and wiped his mouth, "Hey, you, you have never been a father. You don't know how to be a father."
Dad’s problem!”
Pu Bucheng stood there, the wrinkles on his face trembling, and said nothing.
"It's easy to give birth to a son, and it's easy to raise a son, but it's not easy to raise him!" The old man sighed, "Speaking of which, we are not very good as fathers. We have so many sons, but we haven't raised them well! On the surface,
, they all look like they are fucking talented, but in reality they are all fucking bad!”
"You can't say that, the Crown Prince..."
"We didn't teach him, he was born with it!" The old man sighed, "We don't know how to teach our son! I really don't know how!"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Xi's back and said, "When I was poor, I thought about giving them a bite of food, to feed them when they grew up, to marry them and have children. When I became an emperor, I thought about giving them a share of wealth that would last for ten thousand years, and to have children and grandchildren!"
"
"We always think that we must not let them suffer even a little bit of the hardships in our lives, but we forget that sometimes people have to endure hardships to truly become adults!"
"We will give them whatever they want, but it is in keeping with the old saying, loving a child is like killing a child. Each and every one of them, it is obvious that it is not that piece of material, and their hearts are as high as the sky!"
Pu Bucheng listened to the old man's sigh and advised, "Your Majesty, your teaching has been very good!"
"You know what the heck, you haven't even been a father!" the old man said, suddenly glanced, and then squinted his eyes, "I'm telling you to be a father, doesn't that mean you're flirting with a cow playing the piano to a blind man?"
