This was the first time Xiao Yun went to court, and was a little at a loss. Fortunately, Mao Xiang was familiar with all this and led him to the front of the door, and then told him to wait until the eunuch stood in the door and shouted, and the bells and drums rang out in three ways.

Then you can enter the Meridian Gate.

Xiao Yun was remembered in his heart. Sure enough, not long after, the civil and military officials who went to court came to the court, Li Shanchang and Xu Da, led by Liu Bowen and Chang Yuchun, and there were at least fifty or sixty people. A mighty gust of wind

He came as if he was coming, everyone was dressed in bright armor and had a neat ceremony. He was indescribable.

After seeing Xiao Yun, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Liu Bowen and others were slightly stunned, and then the three of them showed joy, especially Chang Yuchun laughed: "Brother Xiao, you are indeed not dead,

I thought you couldn't survive this time? You guys are really lucky?"

This kind of friendly laughter made Xiao Yun feel inexplicably moved. This man who was a bandit at the time was now a famous general in the world who killed all directions, but he still cared about himself. This feeling of being remembered is undoubtedly good.

After the bell rang out, the civil and military officials followed the general, the officials, the princes, the princes, the princes, the five governments and six ministries, Yingtian Mansions and the miscellaneous people in the capital.

The officials entered the door in sequence one after another. Some eunuchs and officials from the Etiquette Department stood by the roadside, like night owls, staring with wide eyes to see which guy with no eyes was messing with his position and etiquette.

Xiao Yun is a general who is loyal and brave, and his official position is also considered a high-ranking official. He had received Mao Xiang's instructions just now and followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. He was not polite now. He stood up directly and followed the brigade of troops into the city gate. A little eunuch

After seeing Xiao Yun, he pulled his sleeve and handed him a tooth card. Xiao Yun looked in a daze and found that it turned out to be a piece of dentin, oval, 7.5 cm long, 6.5 cm wide, and on the front

The cloud pattern on the top is carved, and the seven words "Loyal and brave general Xiao Yun" are engraved; the two dragons are carved around the back, and the five big words "Dragon and Phoenix Eleven Years" are engraved. As soon as I took the tooth sign, I heard a sigh, and more

There was so much envy. He heard his face strange and felt

Influenced by the ancient TV series in later generations, all of those officials held a tooth card in their hands. When they were about to speak in the court, they stood up from the crowd, lit the tooth card first, and then talked about the serious business. In fact, this is a misleading of TV series in later generations.

The officials of the court wore tooth signs, which were exclusive to the Ming Dynasty. Officials of the previous dynasty did not wear tooth signs when they entered and exited the forbidden doors, such as "In the Tang Dynasty, all officials followed the fish talismans on the left and the right, the left and the right, the right and the right.

Hold it with a bag". Fish talisman is also called "fish bag", "is gold and silver, and is suitable for the power of the people." Officials in the Qing Dynasty did not use tooth cards when they went to court. Qiu Jiasui wrote "Early Words of the Caotang of Dongshan", which said that "before the Qing Dynasty"

In the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the court gave tooth cards to hang at their waists to open the door of the ban",

The officials of the Kuguan called it "the rumor of Caoye". After the relocation of the Beijing officials in the Ming Dynasty, they had to change the tooth sign, and the yamen issued a printed handbook, sent it to the gift department for a photo, and then went to Shangbaosiguan to get the tooth sign.

When the official is in charge, the original card should still be returned to the Ministry of Rites. Since the tooth card is related to the protection of the internal government, the "increased the law of the tooth card" in the 16th year of Hongwu. Anyone who destroys the tooth card will follow the law as a stick, but generally "

Repay for redemption" (i.e. pay a fine and exempt from a staff). In the 11th year of Hongwu, "there was to be made to the civil and military officials. The system was made of ivory and engraved by officials. If the court pendant was entered and left, would it be possible to enter and exit the court?

Those who wear the door will reject it, and those who borrow it privately will discuss it as the law; if there is any reason, they will accept it in the inner palace, and it will be outside.

If the officials in the court have no cards, they will attach names to each door to enter." In short, the Chaosanya card is designed to facilitate the officials in Beijing to attend court (Chaosan) and enter and exit the forbidden city. The purpose is to "specifically guard against entry and exit"

.Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty, "from the prime minister to the small officials, there were all those who served as capitalists." It was a symbol of those who served as officials in the capital and the shining object. At that time, there was a homophonic saying: "Others from outside the capital are appointed as capitalists.

The officials met, and the officials from other places said, "I love the officials in Beijing and have tooth cards." The officials in Beijing said, "I also love the officials in the outside world. The officials in Beijing are idle. Although they do not have to be like local officials, they must be a daily director.

I rushed to the inner palace to participate in the court gang, and everyone wore the court gang gang gang sign. This was also a feature of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Yun naturally didn't know about these things.

Why did these people look envious and can't help but be curious. They look behind them with courage. They see that except for Liu Bowen, Deng Yu, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Guosheng, the rest of them are mostly empty-handed and look at him.

The tooth card in his hand showed a look of desire.

"Damn, this is not right. Everyone should have tooth cards. Isn't it said that the pre-King officials are called the pre-King officials and they all wear tooth cards? Why are there so many people not there? This is not a forgery, right?" Xiao Yun

Murmuring to himself.

Chang Yuchun, who was walking aside, seemed to see the doubts in his heart, and whispered in a low voice: "This tooth card is specially made by the King of Wu. If someone bravely kills the enemy, he will give the tooth card to the formation as a reward.

Not everyone has the certificate?”

"Not everyone has it?" Xiao Yun knew why these people's eyes shone with envy. It turned out that this small tooth card still needs to be exchanged for military achievements and lives on the battlefield. Zhu Chong

Ba really knows how to do business. Such a broken tooth card has won a lot of people's hearts.

After entering the Meridian Gate, you can see the imperial city. In front of you, the eunuch led the civil servants from the Left Ye Gate and the military officers from the Right Ye Gate to the Da Nei. They were established in accordance with the ranks in the south of Jinshui Bridge. After the eunuchs whip, officials from each department crossed the bridge one after another.

, and went to Fengtianmen Danbu and stood left and right.

After the King of Wu set up his squad, he whipped again, and someone shouted "Acceptance". The civil and military ministers bowed and bowed three times, which was considered to have entered the court.

In the past, the King of Wu was just dealing with some trivial matters in the Jiangnan area, including food distribution, advice, decisive prisoners, opening yamen, disasters, rain, and prison counts, important matters, involving confidential military affairs and Zhang Shicheng.

, The Tartar court's key matters such as military use are allowed to report privately, without having to say much in the court, and more often it is Zhu Yuanzhang to make arrangements separately.

But today's major event must be announced to the world in the morning court.

Among the ministers, many people had already learned the news, so they naturally knew it, but many people had not received the news. At this moment, they couldn't help but interrogate it carefully. In groups of civil and military officials, whispering in private, saying this, Wu

The prince of the king will be the eldest son Zhu Biao, and some people say it will be the second son Zhu Chuang, and the third son Zhu Qi, but very few people hear people talking about the fourth son Zhu Di.
