C620 throne room

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was built in the eighteenth year of Ming Yongle (1420), at that time known as the Hall of Heaven. Jiajing Year 41 (1562) was renamed the Temple of the Emperor. Qing Shunzhi changed the Temple of Supreme Harmony in two years (1645). It has been burned and rebuilt many times since it was built.

The top of the hall is supported by a heavy eaves, and the bottom three steps are made of white jade. The steps are made of gold dragon and ginkgo, and the roof immortals walk with up to 11 beasts, and the highest forms are used in all 11 rooms. For the unquestionable First Hall of the World, the Taihe Palace plaque "Jian Ji Lou", the Emperor of the dryad.

The decorations of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were magnificent. Under the eaves to be dense, interior and exterior decorations to the highest level of painting and color painting. The upper part of the door and window is inlaid with rhombus pattern, and the lower part is carved with cloud dragon pattern. The interior of the hall was paved with gold bricks, hence the name of the throne room.

Inside the Supreme Harmony Hall, there were a total of seventy-two pillars supporting its full weight. All of them were giant pillars plastered with the picture of a Gold Cloud Dragon. It was an incomparably magnificent sight to behold. At the very top of the subjects' kneeling was the most precious first throne of the Forbidden City. It was set on a high platform at the center of the hall, on the seventh flight of steps. Behind it were seven large gold-painted screens with dragon carvings of the clouds.

A total of thirteen golden dragons twined around the throne, the largest of which had its head held high in the middle of the back seat; instead of its usual chair legs, it was a Sumeru base, at the waist of which were carved two dragons, painted in gold.

Around the throne, there was a symbol of peace with elephants, a symbol of the emperor, a symbol of the brilliant and wise water, a symbol of longevity of cranes, as well as incense burners, incense burners and incense burners. And the little child on the throne, who received the kowtows of all the officials, was the Sovereign King Tongzhi of the Great Qing, Love New Desire Luo. Zai Chun.

"Good boy, this entire treasure collection of Supreme Harmony Hall is even better looking than the future generations. Look at the golden bricks on the ground, not a single one is damaged, what fragrance is burning in the air?" Why does it smell so good? "

Xiao Letian leaned on the entrance of the Supreme Harmony Hall and peeked his head in. In his previous life, he had come to the old palace a few times and had also seen how the Supreme Harmony Hall looked like a few times.

That year, Xiao Letian was also leaning on the door frame, looking at the pieces of golden bricks which had lost their luster and the spatial throne that was covered in dust, he couldn't help but sigh towards history.

But today, Xiao Letian had personally witnessed the true golden splendor of the Supreme Harmony Hall, and a myriad of feelings welled up in his heart.

"These are all great things left behind by the Old Ancestor, regardless of what dynasty or dynasty it belongs to, these are all condensed from the wealth of millions of people, created by the hardships of millions of craftsmen. Just based on this little bit of treasure, we have to protect our ancestors' small assets!"

Just as Xiao Letian was muttering to himself, Minister Hua Ruohan patted his shoulder and said, "Stop daydreaming at the door, the great ceremony in the hall is over, we can go in now …"

It turned out that while Xiao Letian was still in a daze, he had already kowtowed nine times in the Supreme Harmony Hall. Hua Ruohan and the other envoys entered the hall and took off their hats and bowed, then walked one by one to the lowest corner of the door.

When he arrived at Xiao Letian's place, he became troubled. He stood in the great hall awkwardly, and felt the angry glares of the people around him. He did not know if he should bow, or kneel and kowtow.

Normally, the Ryukyu was also a Subordinate States of the Great Qing Dynasty, so when the officials of the Ryukyu see the Great Qing Emperor, they should kowtow, but from the moment Xiao Letian teleported to this world, he swore that he would not kowtow to anyone with authority, not even the Emperor.

"Insolent bastard, to not kneel at Supreme Harmony Hall, you disobedient subject!" "My liege …" Xiao Letian's hesitant expression ignited the anger of the Qing Liu disciples. Han Lin Feng Fu was the first to jump out and scold them loudly, followed by countless of Qing Liu subjects scolding at the same time.

"Kneel!" If you dare not kneel to His Majesty … "Where are the warriors? Hurry up and take down this madman …"

Qing Liu and Qing Liu scolded ferociously, but the imperial bodyguards would not listen to them. Furthermore, each and every new recruit was staring at them, so who would dare to make a move?

Qing Liu and the rest scolded, the officials were all discussing, the little emperor on the throne had never seen such a lively court meeting, he became childish and said to Xiao Letian, "Hai …. They're all scolding you. Are you going to kneel or not? "

"Your Majesty, you mustn't be rude …" Weng Tonghe said: "You are a ruler of the nation, and also of the Grand Commission, you must be upright and respectful!" Tongzhi stuck his tongue out, not daring to say anything.

Xiao Letian shook his head: "This subject's waist hasn't been well for the past two days, I'm afraid I won't be able to kneel down. Furthermore, Empress Dowager of the East has also granted this subject the privilege of not kneeling down and not letting him live, so I can't kneel down today …"

After saying that, Xiao Letian even raised his head and winked at the emperor and the empress dowager.

"Insolent maniac …" Who would dare to abolish the laws of their ancestors? This is the Supreme Harmony Hall, Grand Commission. Usually, they would tolerate you, but now, no one will tolerate you … Kneel down! "

Xiao Letian turned his head and reached out with his middle finger towards Qing Liu who was cursing "What's wrong with Supreme Harmony Hall? You think this is the center of the universe? Ancestral Family Law? Our ancestors had a lot of people, the Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zong, all those dynasties have their own ancestors, who do you think I should listen to? "

Provoke, this was naked provocation! The loyal lackeys of the Da Qing Empire, all of them were filled with righteousness and anger, they almost wanted to eat Xiao Letian's flesh.

"Daqing obeys the orders of the heavens and rules over all of China. Daqing's family law is the heavens', you traitor …" "You and I will never let each other go. Your majesty, please order us to kill these traitors …"

"F * ck, you don't even want to be separated!" Who is Han? "Who's a thief …" Xiao Letian's harsh words scared the group of them so much that they broke out in a cold sweat, and only now did they realize that they had said the wrong thing.

At this time, Empress Dowager Ci An came out to smooth things over, "Since Xiao Aiqing's body is not feeling well, let's skip the big ceremony!"

"Empress Dowager Xie …" Xiao Letian bowed, then turned and swaggered to the back of the group of court officials. Leaning on the door of the Supreme Harmony Temple, he started to look coldly at the important Grand Commission.

After the small interlude, the Grand Commission was officially on the right track. Following the eunuch's' early morning performance if there's nothing going on, 'the officials from various families started to report their work for the year.

As it was a rare occasion for a foreign official to enter the, the capital official did not say much. He only had Prince Kung, Weng Tonghe and the other ministers read a few of the eight essays, nothing more than the peace of the nation. This year, he had gained a lot of auspicious words, all of these were old dead rules, there was no need to say too much.

This was one of the most important scenes. The Great Marshal controlled the most powerful army in the Great Qing, so every word he said was worth a lot of thought.

The Great Marshal had also come to announce the good news. From calming down the long-haired remnant, to the battle in Twisted Army, he highly praised the courage of Xiang Army and Huai Army. At the same time, he also praised the cooperation between the new members of the imperial court and the various departments.

In the end, the Xiangjun Group promised the imperial government that next year, they would work even harder to kill off the Twisted Army and the remaining villains, and in the end, they would let the Nanshan live a peaceful and prosperous life.

These words were something the imperial government loved to hear. The empress dowagers and the imperial family all praised the marshal's noble character, and even the little emperor fawned over him.

"It's winter in the capital. I'm afraid it'll be hard for the marshal to get used to being in the south for a long time. I'm giving him a set of white tiger skin!"

"Thank you for your gift, your majesty!" Ceng Guofan hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Xiao Letian looked at the harmony in front of him and curled his lips to the point that his ears could hear. Dream on.

After Ceng Guofan's report was complete, the various daoyin s began to report to him. At this time, the sky in the east had already turned white, and Beijing had already woken up from his dreams.

Holding the meat in his pocket, Xiao Letian looked left and right, then sneakily threw one into his mouth. The crispy skin, along with the fragrant beef jerky, made his face look extremely blissful.

This was the imperial meal that Er Mao had secretly prepared for him. Er Mao knew that this kind of assembly would not end within three to four hours.

Perhaps because the aroma of the meat pieces was too strong, the official who was in charge of the front row could not help but sniff. Even though he had eaten several cups of ginseng and chicken soup before coming to court, he still could not bear the aroma.

Sometimes, when you enter the palace at around five in the morning, you have to go there until twelve in the afternoon. During this long period of time, you can't solve the problem small and small, because it is disrespectful to the Emperor. Furthermore, even if the Emperor does not punish you, people would not be willing to settle down their reputation of going to the imperial palace and urinating.

Therefore, the previous meal was very important. He had to have enough energy, but not too much. It was especially important to have less soup. Many officials liked to eat ginseng chicken soup or bird's nest soup cooked day and night, plus some hungry-looking jerky.

They were well-nourished and didn't take up too much space yet. For an official to survive the long imperial court meeting without having to digest the food too quickly, it was an essential delicacy in the imperial court.

But Xiao Letian did not need to follow this kind of rule, the rules of his three meals a day could not be changed, it was not like he was in a war, so why did he have to suffer so much?

The young eunuch, who stood beside Xiao Letian, was stunned. He thought to himself, Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea is really too bold, he doesn't care about the prestige of the imperial government at all.

Xiao Letian looked at the eunuch, and suddenly laughed, followed by a chess piece sesame seed cake that was stuffed into his mouth, "Anyone who sees this will get to have a share, you can have one too."

The young eunuch held the sesame seed cake in his mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He did not dare to spit it out, so he could only eat it secretly.

The fragrance of the two sesame seed cakes became even stronger. At this moment, some of the ministers' stomachs started to growl. All the ministers could not even bring themselves to laugh as they were crying.

"Shameless!" Who would be so shameless as to stand up for me? For a dignified Grand Commission, how could there be such a disrespectful person, your majesty, please investigate strictly! " Weng Tonghe interrupted the daoyin and stood up to look around. He saw Xiao Letian immediately.

"It's you again! You're shameless!"

Xiao Letian choked and swallowed the sesame seed cake, his face full of suspicion as he looked at the old man, "Shameless? How can I be shameless when I'm hungry? The emperor has yet to tear down the hungry soldiers? "I've been fighting for years, and my appetite is bad, so I can't starve. Yet, you're scolding me?"

"You're so unreasonable!"
