Starting from the Zhou Dynasty, the highest-level dynasty meeting will be held at the beginning of the year. On the first day of the first lunar month, the nobles, civil and military officials, and even the envoys of various vassal countries will enter the palace to congratulate the emperor.
Therefore, before dawn, the officials of Daxuan who had just finished their year-old dragged their tired bodies, put on new court robes, boarded their own chariots, and came from all directions towards Ziwei Palace.
Before the hour of Mao, the gate of Ziwei Palace was closed, and in the square outside Yingtianmen, many officials had gathered in groups. They were yawning, greeting each other's New Year greetings, and chatting and laughing, which was much easier than when they were in court on weekdays.
After all, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is rare for the censors who are responsible for picking up all officials to turn a blind eye.
"Have you heard it?" A red-robed official wore a mink-eared bun, put his hands in his sleeves, and stomped his feet while saying to everyone: "There was a big deal in the landlord yesterday."
"Who didn't hear it? The bell rang, and I thought the landlord was going to fight with whom." An official next to him covered his ears with a cloak and shrank his head and said, "I didn't expect that the ceremony of throne transmission was actually going to be held."
"Ah?" These officials were not from gentry, so the news was naturally not very well-informed. They asked with big eyes: "Who did the old Situ pass the position to? Lu Xiu or Lu Xia?"
"None of them are, it's Lu Xin." said the red robed official.
"Ah, why is it him?" All the officials who were unaware of the matter were stunned by the news.
"You don't know, he is now a great master of the heavenly rank." The red robe official was proud, as if he was proud. "The landlords celebrated so much yesterday, and the old Situ immediately passed the position of the master of the lord to him."
"Scared, this is really incredible." When it comes to the Daxuan Dynasty, which official has the most famous name in the past year, naturally it is Lu Xin who has risen like a rocket and falls like a meteor. "He was a county lieutenant at the beginning of last year, but at the beginning of the year, he transformed into a lord of a sect. Throughout history, has he jumped so quickly?"
"Yes, I thought he had offended the old master, at least his future was dim." The officials all praised Lu Xin when they mentioned it. "I didn't expect that the East was not Liang and the West was the leader of a clan by relying on their real skills. Now the old master can't suppress him anymore."
"Of course, you don't look at the monk's face. All the lords are dukes of the highest position, and from official positions to titles, they are also indispensable." The officials whispered, and their envious saliva was flowing.
"Impossible." The official from the red robe sighed and said, "How can the old teacher give up after suffering a loss? He has to stop him this morning, so he won't let Lu Xin feel happy."
As they were talking, a whip came, and the officials quickly stopped talking, gave up a lane, bowed to greet the car drivers of the Valve Master and the Zuo Laogong.
Carriages with various valves hanging on the emblems slowly stopped in front of Ziwei Palace. The deacons of each valve jumped out of the car, placed Jindun in front of the car door, and then opened the door and helped his own valve master get out of the car. In the last car, Lin Chao also helped Zuo Yanqing get off.
The land valve car was Lu Shang and Lu Xin.
"Welcome to all the grandfathers, welcome to Mr. Zuo, and wish the old man a happy new year." All the officials knelt down and wished the eight founding fathers a happy new year.
"Haha, get up." Xiahou Ba forced a smile and said, "I will go to the Secretariat to get a profit later."
"Thank you, the old teacher." The officials stood up with a smile, and started to take the shift and prepare to go to court.
The eight giants walked towards Lu Xin and walked towards the front of the squad. In theory, Lu Xin's official position was the third-rank minister, so he would be in the back seat when the palace was full of princes. But now he is the leader of a squad, so he cannot be inferior to others. He must be with the rest of the people.
After the nine people were scheduled for the first stop of the class, Xiahou Ba glanced at Lu Xin and smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Lu, this is not the place where you stand, right?"
Although he is not ready to deal with the land fence for the time being, Xiahou Ba will definitely not let Lu Xin and his son have a better life.
"If the old master stands, I can stand." Lu Xin is now the leader of a sect, so he naturally cannot show weakness.
"All nonsense is the only thing that I can stand is because we are the first-rank of the dynasty and the founding duke. Why do you stand with us alone as a third-rank minister?"
"I am the great master of the heavenly rank, and I am even more a dignified lord of a sect." Lu Xin smiled faintly and said proudly: "Does the old master think that the position of the sect master is as low as the duke?"
"Hmph..." As the lord of a stake, Xiahou Ba certainly cannot say that the lord is not as good as the lord.
"Hey, it's the New Year, it's a harmonious place, a harmonious place." Zuo Yanqing smiled and persuaded him to reconcile. At this time, the Jingyang Bell rang again on the top of the city, and Xiahou Ba just stepped down and ignored Lu Xin.
.
When Yingtian Gate was open, there were already golden armored guards in Ziwei Palace from Yingtian Gate to Jianyuan Hall, and the Yulin Guards were lined up in line. The Yulin Guards were furnishing ceremonies, the Jiafang Office displayed great joy, and the Etiquette Department displayed documents from various countries, congratulations, and tributes.
When all the officials, led by Xiahou Ba, came to the front of Jianyuan Hall, and heard three whips, and the ministers were solemn. Amid the Shao music, the emperor was promoted to the Jintai tent and accepted the congratulations of all the officials.
After performing the ceremony, the emperor ordered all the ministers to get up, and Du Hui led the palace people to distribute the spring wine given to the officials.
After the officials thanked him for his gratitude, the first emperor suddenly found something and asked knowingly: "Hey, why is there one more one in the first row today?"
"Just about to report to Your Majesty." Lu Shang hurriedly handed the wine to the palace servants beside him, and bowed to report: "Yesterday, the Han family had held a throne-passing ceremony, and the old minister officially handed over the position of head of the family to Lu Xin. The minister is old and asks for bones and handed over the burden of the court to the new head of the family."
"Oh, so that's it. I remembered that I heard you report yesterday." The Emperor of the First Time pretended to be angry: "But I have to say two of you. Why didn't you know about such a big happy event in advance? I can join you to celebrate the ceremony and congratulate you."
"It's New Year's Eve, so it's not convenient to bother Your Majesty and all the princes." Lu Shang replied respectfully: "This is just a trivial matter of the Han family..."
"Oh, Old Situ's words are awful. The Luquan was one of the eight great masters who had formed a alliance with the late emperor and made great contributions to my Daxuan Destruction Tripod." The initial emperor wanted to praise Lu Xin, so he naturally said with great praise: "After the founding of the Daxuan Kingdom, the Luquan's children worked hard to govern the country. It can be said that the country's strength is the stronghold and the sea is golden beam."
