Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian lowered his head, waiting for the summons. Next to him stood Zhang Liao.

Although the emperor is basically under house arrest by Dong Zhuo, sometimes he will still use it as a formal decoration, such as today.

Fei Qian is now outside the palace wall of the North Palace. After all, he is just a minister of the Zuo Department and cannot enter and leave the palace at will, so he can only wait outside the palace gate.

The court meeting has been going on for some time, and I don’t know what the specific situation is inside?

This is just a small court meeting, and not all court officials are required to participate. At most, there are only three ministers and nine ministers. And under the current situation, the nine ministers basically have no say, so Master Cai Yong does not have any say. Come.

I was involved in the previous incident at Hangu Pass, so I waited here with Zhang Liao.

Fei Qian looked at the clothes he was wearing, and then at the clothes Zhang Liao was wearing. He suddenly thought of zongzi for some reason...

Ahem...

The colors of court clothes in the Han Dynasty were not one type, but were determined according to the changes of the seasons, and were designated as five colors, namely spring green, summer vermilion, season and summer yellow, autumn white, and winter black.

In the clothing of the Han Dynasty, although the prototype of the strict hierarchy of feudal society gradually emerged, it has not yet reached the perversion of later generations, detailing every inch of fabric, every pattern, and every piece of jewelry. Therefore, although the official positions may be different in size, the styles of court uniforms Generally similar, its characteristics are cicada crown, red clothes, square heart, Tianling, jade photos and red shoes. There is not much difference in form between official and civilian wear.

According to the classification of clothes, there are two types: one is the curved skirt, that is, the skirt is curved from the collar to the armpit; the other is the straight skirt, the skirt is vertical from the collar downwards, this kind of Zen clothes is also called "襜褕". Because the Quju style of clothing is both long and wide, sometimes things that should not be exposed are accidentally exposed. Therefore, in formal occasions, you must wear Quju Zen clothes, and you also need to expose the collar of the middle coat. Come.

These clothes are basically common to both officials and civilians. Regardless of the official position, there is not much difference in style, but the raw materials of the cloth can clearly show the difference in grade.

The top grade will not use burlap and kudzu cloth, and the white grade will not use silk and silk cloth. The main thing is to distinguish the external clothing of the official position, one is the seal and the other is the crown.

As for the sealing ribbon, Zhang Liao's is a higher level than Fei Qian's own. It uses a black ribbon with a copper seal, while the one hanging around Fei Qian's waist is a yellow ribbon with a copper seal.

As for the crown, due to differences in civil and military affairs, Zhang Liao wore the He crown, while Fei Qian himself wore the Jinxian crown.

The He Guan, actually, is not much different from the Jinxian Guan. However, one of the notable features of the He Guan is that there are two heli tails inserted on the top of the crown. They are not as long as those in some TV movies, which is about About ten centimeters, trembling in the wind...

The Jinxian crown is actually the Confucian crown that Fei Qian usually wears, but it is lined with a scarf and has a beam on the crown. The beam on the crown more or less represents the level of the position. Feiqian is now a beam, which is the lowest Jinxian crown, and the highest is three beams.

So now, except for this difference, Fei Qian and Zhang Liao are mostly the same. They are both wearing Zen clothes with curved skirts made of blue silk cloth, with the white middle clothes exposed - they are really very similar to those black and blue ones. The rice dumplings wrapped in old green leaves have been boiled in water for a long time. The leaves crack and a section of white rice filling comes out of the rice dumpling...

Zhang Liao was obviously a little nervous. Although his expression did not change much, his ears and temples were already sweating.

As for Fei Qian himself, he had a negotiation with Li Ru yesterday. Relatively speaking, he had some confidence and was not so nervous.

A small yellow doorman ran out from inside and shouted loudly: "Xuanqi Captain Zhang, I have an audience in front of Fei Palace, the Minister of the Left Department!"

The surrounding Huben also shouted in unison: "Qidu Lieutenant Zhang, I have an audience in front of Fei Palace, the Minister of the Left Department!"

Zhang Liaofei hurriedly followed behind the small yellow door, clasped his hands and hid his hands in his sleeves. He did not look away and lowered his head slightly, only looking at the piece of land in front of him. With his shoulders straight and his back straight, he followed step by step.

As Zhang Liao and Fei Qian walked into the palace little by little, every time they walked in, the Huben on guard on both sides also shouted loudly: "Captain Zhang, the left-hand minister, Fei, has an audience in front of the palace!"

It was completely different from the last time when Fei Qian was promoted to Minister of Zuo and quietly went to pay homage to the emperor.

The dignity of the Han family is exactly the same!

When they arrived at the Deyang Gate outside the Deyang Hall, Xiao Huangmen stopped. The Huben guards in front of the hall came forward and confirmed the seals and ribbons of Zhang Liao and Fei Qian again.

Immediately, the guards in front of Deyang Gate withdrew a little to both sides, allowing Zhang Liao and Fei Qian to enter.

Deyang Hall is the main hall of the North Palace. There is Deyang Gate in front of the hall. There are East Pavilion and West Pavilion between Deyang Hall and Deyang Gate.

Xiao Huangmen was in the front, Zhang Liao was in the middle, and Fei Qian was following behind, walking inside.

Deyang Hall is the largest building in the North Palace. It is very majestic. Although Fei Qian cannot swing his head to look around, he can still secretly roll his eyes...

Deyang Hall is located on a high platform. The steps are two feet high. There is a large patterned stone altar in the middle. The steps made of white jade, like pillars made of gold foil, shine with the color of a wealthy person that makes people blind.

There is an approach bridge in front of the steps. I don’t know where the flowing water is drawn to pour on His Highness. The sound of running water adds to the royal solemnity.

After walking onto the approach bridge, Fei Qian quickly closed his eyes and began to play the role of a good boy seriously. After all, there were guards wearing bright light armor on both sides at this time, and they were standing so close. There was one person within ten steps. Continue into the main hall.

Moreover, there is a ceremonial officer standing beside the door of the main hall, with bright eyes, who is responsible for supervising the etiquette of the audience. If he is caught in any way, it will immediately be a crime of disrespect in front of the palace.

When we arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the mission of the small yellow door that led the way was completed, and then another person was responsible for reporting inside...

After a while, the voice of announcement came from inside, and the formal audience began.

The etiquette officer at the entrance of the main hall shouted loudly with a long tail: "Come in~~"

Zhang Liao and Fei Qian walked forward step by step. When they arrived in front of the main hall, they heard the ceremony officer shouting: "Stand up~~"

The two quickly stood upright.

"揖～～"

Fei Qian didn't care to see what happened to Zhang Liao. He quickly followed the etiquette officer's order, raised his hands and raised his forehead, and bowed ninety degrees. After a short pause, he straightened up...

"Bye~~"

The hands are at the level of the eyebrows again, then the knees are on the ground at the same time, slowly bow down, the palms are on the ground, the forehead is on the palms, then the upper body is straightened, and the hands are at the same time as the eyebrows...

"Bye~~"

Do the same prayer movements you did before...

"Xing~~"

Put your hands at eyebrow level, stand up, stand straight and put your hands down.

Fei Qian breathed a sigh of relief at this time. A small official had no choice but to formally meet the emperor. It was so cumbersome.

Emperor Liu Xie was sitting on the throne, looking at Fei Qian who was saluting at the entrance of the palace from a distance, he seemed familiar...

Don't think that the Han Dynasty was founded by Liu Bang, a gangster leader, so there wasn't much etiquette... Speaking of an interesting side story, isn't there a saying about the Five Virtues at the End of the World, which is what Ji Yanran's godfather did in "Xun Qin Ji" , in fact, in the Han Dynasty, it was not the fire virtue at the beginning, but the water virtue... Ahem... It's not scary if the gangsters are uneducated, but the scary thing is that the gangster leader became the emperor...
