"Young Master Qin, you don't know that the emperor is not as easy as us. The emperor has to get up at Yin every day, and he has to go to court early, and he is worried about national affairs." The little eunuch said in a low voice.

“That’s, that’s.”

Qin Mu said, it seems that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was not so easy to be. If he had to get up so early every day, he wouldn't be tired.

Qin Mu didn't know that in the Great Qin Dynasty, the court had clear regulations on various meetings and formulated regulations, namely the "Da Qin Hui Dian".

The "Qin Hui Dian" has clear regulations on the time and requirements of the court's morning dynasty. Ministers must get up at midnight and travel through half a capital to the Wumen Gate. At the beginning of Yin, ministers must arrive outside the Wumen Gate to wait. When the drum on the Wumen Gate Tower rings, ministers must line up. When the bell rings (about five o'clock in the morning), the palace gate opens and all officials enter one after another before they start to go to court.

Regardless of whether the emperor or ministers are willing or not, there is no reason why they cannot come, they must participate unconditionally in this morning.

Things like "the king will not go on early court from now on" really rarely appear in the history of the Qin Dynasty, which is why the Qin Dynasty has a longer history than all the dynasties in the previous life of Qin Mu.

Every generation of emperors is diligent in state affairs. Of course, it is undeniable that there were still several emperors in the Qin Dynasty who ignored the ancestors, causing several turmoil in the history of the Qin Dynasty.

"I get up so early every day, and this official is tired enough. What's the point?" Qin Mu felt very depressed when he heard that he had to get up so early every day. It really cost Qin Mu's life to get up so early every day.

In fact, Qin Mu had a misunderstanding that it was difficult to be an official in Beijing and he had to participate in the morning court, but it would be different to be an official in the local area. There was no morning court and there was no need to get up so early.

Moreover, the emperor is far away. Whenever he wants to sleep, he will sleep until he says what time he says, as long as he doesn't get caught by the censors.

Of course, not all Beijing officials are qualified to attend court. Only officials of a certain level are qualified to attend morning court.

"Young Master Qin, let's stop talking. There is a censor responsible for the inspection next to you. Now that I'm very disrespectful, I'll be troublesome." The eunuch said in a low voice.

So Qin Mu was foolishly waiting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony with this little eunuch.

About an hour passed

"The emperor has an order, and the talented man Qin Mu enters the hall." An eunuch preached the order outside the hall.

The Qin Dynasty meeting was the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace. Major ceremonies such as the emperor ascending the throne, enthroning the queen, and receiving foreign guests were also held here.

The Palace of Supreme Harmony is the largest and highest-level building in the Forbidden City. It has eleven rooms with a depth of five rooms, a length of 64 meters, a width of 37 meters, a building area of ​​26.92 meters, and a height of 35.05 meters, making it the largest and most large in the Forbidden City.

There is a wide platform in front of the hall, called Danbi, commonly known as the platform. There are sundials on the platform, one each with a Jialiang, one pair of copper turtles, and one pair of copper cranes, and 18 copper tripods. Turtles and cranes are symbols of longevity.

The sundial is an ancient timer, and the Jiaoliang is a standard measuring instrument in ancient times. Both are symbols of imperial power. His Highness is a three-layer white marble stone carving base with a height of 8.13m, surrounded by railings. There are stone carvings for drainage under the railings. During the rainy season, the wonder of thousands of dragons spitting water.

The decoration of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is very gorgeous. There are dense doves under the eaves, and the indoor and outdoor beams are decorated with the highest-level Hexi color paintings. The upper part of the doors and windows are embedded with diamond plaid patterns, and the lower part is embossed with cloud dragon patterns. There are gilded bronze leaves engraved with dragon patterns at the joints.

The floor of the hall is paved with gold bricks (thus also known as the Golden Palace) (the gold bricks are named because they require a lot of money when they were built). The floor of the Taihe Hall is paved with 4,718 large gold bricks of two feet square. However, the gold bricks are not made of gold, but are specially made in Suzhou. The surface is light black, oily, shiny, neither astringent nor slippery.

The soil quality in Suzhou is good, and the craftsmanship is fine. After firing, it can only be used if it reaches the level of "knocking soundly and breaking without holes". The procedure for smelting such bricks is extremely complicated, and a brick will have to be refined for at least one year.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony has 72 large pillars supporting its total weight, among which the top beam is the thickest and the highest, with a diameter of one meter and six, and a height of twelve and seventy meters. It is made of nanmu, and it is very difficult to adopt this kind of wood. Nanmu often grows in the deep mountains and old forests. For this reason, officials and people take risks in taking materials regardless of their lives. The people say that "one thousand people enter the mountain and five hundred people come out of the mountain".

Qin Mu entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and saw dozens of civil and military officials standing on both sides of the palace. The lowest level here was the fourth-rank official.

In the entire palace, the golden lacquered cloud dragon pattern throne sat on the Qin Dynasty. The same name as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty recorded in the history of Qin Mu's previous life, but the surname has changed.

However, although this Emperor of Apocalypse has no talent or culture, he is not a carpenter. Moreover, he has lived much longer than Emperor of Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty in Qin Mu's previous life. Judging from his age, he is almost forty now.

The Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Qin Mu's impression, died before he lived to be thirty years old, or to be precise, he died when he lived to be 23 years old.

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

When Qin Mu faced Emperor Tianqi, he immediately performed the three bows and nine bows. In ancient times, when he came to see the emperor, he had to practice the three bows and nine bows and rituals, "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers". In ancient times, kings were ranked below the heaven and earth, and above all ten thousand people, even parents were ranked behind the king.

This is what the ancients often lamented that "loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both the same. The ancients said that "loyalty" to the king and "filial piety" to their parents, but when the two conflict, they can only be unfilial people.

"Flat!" said Emperor Aoki.

"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" Qin Mu kowtowed again and stood up.

"I heard from Eunuch Wei that you wrote "The Fu of Changmen" and "A Laugh in the Sea" by you." Emperor Zhao Youxiao, the Emperor of the Ancestral Qi, asked.

"When you go back to the emperor, it was made by the people."

Qin Mu said that because he had no fame and fortune, when Qin Mu faced the emperor or officials, he could only call himself a sage.

"Then I will give you a question." Emperor Tianqi said to Qin Mu with interest.

"Please give a question."

At this time, Qin Mu could only bite the bullet and said, hoping that Emperor Tianqi would not ask too difficult questions, especially not to write eight-part essays or something, otherwise Qin Mu would really not be able to answer, he would not know how to answer it.

"Qin Mu listened to the question, I will give you a couplet, and you will match the couplet." Emperor Tianqi took out a note from Wei Zhongxian's hand and opened it and took a look, and said to Qin Mu.

"The people who are good at following the orders." Qin Mu immediately knelt down again and said.

"Listen, my first couplet is 'A lamp four words wine wine wine wine wine wine wine wine." Emperor Tianqi said.

Of course, this test question was not given by Emperor Tianqi Zhao Youxiao himself.

You should know that because of his father, Emperor Taichang, Zhao Youxiao, who was not favored by his grandfather, Emperor Wanli, because he was not favored by his grandfather, Emperor Wanli, he was neglected since childhood. It was not until Emperor Wanli died that he left a will and appointed him as the crown prince.

Although Zhao Youxiao's biological mother Wang Cairen was above Li Xuanshi, she was humiliated by Li Xuanshi and died because of Li Xuanshi's favor. Zhao Youxiao was also "insulted and abused" by Li Xuanshi since she was a child, and she cried all day long, forming a weak character.

Therefore, when Emperor Zhao Youzhao was young, he was not well educated, his cultural level was not high, and he could not produce any decent couples. This first couplet was published by Empress Zhang, who served Emperor Tianqi last night.

This Empress Zhang, whose name is Zhang Yan, is Zu'e, is nicknamed Baozhu, and her father Zhang Guoji.

In the first year of Tianqi, Zhang Yan, who was fifteen years old, passed the first beauty selected by the 5,000 beauties in the national primary election. She was named the queen in April of the same year, and she was very talented.

"The second update of the drum double-sided gongs and gongs." Qin Mu immediately replied. Fortunately, this couple Qin Mu had also seen them in his previous life.

Emperor Tianqi didn't know what Qin Mu answered. He looked at the court officials and saw that they all nodded, and said, "Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Mu kowtowed and thanked, and stood up.

"Emperor, Qin Mu has passed your palace examination. Should he be appointed as an official?" Wei Zhongxian said to Emperor Tianqi.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The person who spoke was Zou Yuanbiao, who was the Minister of Dali Temple, one of the three major judicial officers of the Qin Dynasty, a third-rank official, and the highest commander in the country's criminal prisons. He was much higher than Zuo Guangdou, the left assistant censor of the Ducai Censorate, and was one of the iconic figures of the Donglin Party.

"Oh, what do Zou Aiqing have to say?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Dali Temple Minister Zou Yuanbiao in confusion and asked.

"I have also heard of Mr. Qin's "The Fu of Changmen" and "A Laugh in the Sea" written by him. I also admire his talent and want to learn from this Mr. Qin." Zou Yuanbiao said to Emperor Tianqi.

"This..." Emperor Aoki said with some embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zou's proposal is very good. Mr. Qin is very talented, so we want to see it." Zuo Guangdou, the left assistant censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, also said.

"Your Majesty, since this Mr. Qin can make peerless lyrics like "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea", his talent is definitely amazing. It is better to let Lord Zou compete with him or convince him."

The Minister of Personnel **xing also spoke out, and he was another leader of the Donglin Party. It seems that the Donglin Party is collectively unable to get along with Qin Mu today.

"Long live, it's good to have Mr. Qin compete with Lord Zou. Let us all see the talents of Lord Zou and Mr. Qin."

Wei Zhongxian also agreed and said that Wei Zhongxian is very confident about Qin Mu. This confidence comes from being with Qin Mu one day yesterday.

Wei Zhongxian also wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Donglin Party’s arrogant arrogance and let them know that their faction was not all idiots.

"Since that's the case, then compare."

Emperor Tianqi said, Emperor Tianqi also likes to watch people and compete. This is so lively and much more exciting than watching the show.
