Chapter 560: Do It Yourself!
Hearing Lian Quchen's question, everyone turned to look at Xuejian.Xue Jian lowered his head and said:
"I heard the third senior brother talk about that box. I think he wants to find that box. If we find it for him, then it can be a great achievement, then can it be?"

Xue Jian didn't finish what she said, but everyone understood what Xue Jian meant.Old Man Mo shook his head and said:

"Nowadays, although he is a reasonable person when dealing with state affairs, he just takes power too seriously! He is afraid of losing power. He is even more afraid of losing his life! Actually, think about it, what happened to the prince last time?" Didn't Prince Shang go according to his arrangement? He gave the prince such a temptation, and then the prince was fooled."

Lian Quchen darkened his eyes and said:
"Maybe, the people around the prince are also his people?"

Xuejian was stunned this time.muttered:

"That's his son! Sure enough, the royal family has no true feelings!"

Xuejian was still thinking about it, but when her head hurt, it was old man Mo who slapped her hard.Old Man Mo stared and said:

"What's the truth? Are you pretending to me?"

Well, Xue Jian forgot, he is the little prince now, and the master is the royal family!Being beaten is being beaten, joking is just joking, the result of everyone's discussion all the time is that we still have to find out those Taoist priests.Lian Quchen was in charge of this matter, so naturally it was Lian Quchen's business.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, at the end of Yin time, the big drum outside the palace gate rang nine times, and the whole capital heard it.This is a procedure that happens every year. After the nine-tone drum, it will be played again every hour.The first nine-tone drum is the time when all the ministers should line up outside the palace gate, because some ministers’ homes are far away, so after the second drum, if they don’t arrive again, they will be fined. up.

At the beginning of Maoshi, the gate of the palace was opened wide, and all the officials were listed in the court according to their ranks.First line up in the square outside the main hall.Waiting for the emperor to come up, the emperor is here, everyone must first salute the emperor, and then surround the emperor into the hall.The emperor must be the first to step into the hall!
Then in the main hall, we will summarize the good things of last year and look forward to the bright future of this year.Then when the sun first rose in the east, the emperor took all his officials to sacrifice to the sky.

It is said that this sacrifice to heaven will be very solemn!Because if everything goes well in this sacrifice to heaven, it will indicate that this year's dynasty will be prosperous and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe.Therefore, every responsible person in this link is very serious and careful.Can't go wrong.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, after the first drum.A lot of people gathered at the gate of the palace, because for the opening of the court, as long as the officials of the sixth rank and above participated, the younger the officials, the earlier they came, and two rows of small officials were lined up on both sides. Members, you can see everyone stepping forward to flatter their horses. Finally, the officials squeezed out of the crowd and stood at the front.That was all sweating profusely.

When the other officials arrived, the second drum was about to be struck.The eunuchs who played the drums all came to the drums.There was a hurried sound of hoofbeats.Everyone scrambled to turn their heads to look, no need to guess, they knew that the prince was coming!
Regardless of whether it is the old prince or the young prince, except for them, no one would dare to ride to the gate of the palace on the first day of the new year.The others got off their horses far away from the palace gate, and walked over by themselves.The team that had already been lined up suddenly became chaotic again.They all wanted to go forward and grab the first place to kowtow to the prince.But there were only a few people standing still.

One is Lord Lu, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, the other is Lord Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the other is Lian Quchen who came one step ahead.There were really only two people who came from Malay, that is, Old Prince Mo and Little Prince Xue Jian!As soon as the horse arrived outside the palace gate, the crowd gathered.Old man Mo stretched out his hand to grab it, and flew past the crowd with Xuejian Lima in his hand.Go straight to the gate of the palace.

Old man Mo and Shen Xuejian were both wearing princely clothes.Although Xuejian is still young, she is considered taller.Wearing the prince's suit specially made for her, she naturally looks very majestic!

Only then did Prime Minister Lu stepped forward, and said with a serious salute:
"For the letter from Lu, please refer to Prince Rong, please refer to the little prince, please greet Prince Rong, and greet the little prince!"

Old man Mo didn't want to pay attention to these etiquettes, but Xue Jian couldn't do it.Xue Jian lightly raised his hand and said:
"I have met Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang is very polite! Please rise!"

Then Wei Shangshu also stepped forward, cupped his hands and said loudly:
"Wei Shuheng sees Prince Rong and the little prince, and greets the two princes!"

"Master Wei, please stand up!"

It was Xuejian who returned the gift.

And those who did not block the two princes also lined up, stepped forward together and said:

"Greetings to the two princes!"

Old Man Mo waved his hand impatiently and said:
"That's it!"

As soon as everyone stood still, the time had come.After the second round of nine drums, the heavy palace door creaked open.All the courtiers lined up in two teams, and the leaders were old man Mo and Shen Xuejian.Xuejian didn't know which way to go.But fortunately, there is Master Wei and Lian Quchen walking behind him in third place.With these two reminders, Xue Jian did not see any mistakes.He led the courtiers towards the main hall.

Some maids and eunuchs on duty in the palace were paying attention to this group of people inadvertently.Because Xuejian is the only female officer, and she is still a child.

Just finished the queue outside the main hall.I heard the eunuch singing:
"The emperor is here, the queen is here, and the king of Liang is here!"

So, all the officials knelt down. Of course, except for old man Mo, he was able to attend today because of Xue'er's business. Let's save the rest.It was impossible for him to kneel down like this nephew.

The emperor came down surrounded by a large group of court ladies and eunuchs.Although it is the New Year's Eve, I have rested for more than ten days.The emperor didn't seem to have a good rest either.On the contrary, Xue Jian felt that the emperor looked older, and felt that there were big bags under the eyes, which seemed a little swollen.

On the contrary, the empress seemed to be walking one step behind the emperor very calmly, neither happy nor sad, not haggard because the eldest son was imprisoned.Of course, it may also be due to the weather, making it difficult to see clearly, or the queen's makeup.

But overall, the queen is not bad.Liang Wang also followed behind his mother indifferently, with no expression on his face, as if his eyes were not fixed, he just followed blindly.

The emperor walked forward in stride, and Eunuch Li followed beside him to support him.On the side of the ministers, hearing everyone's shouts, the emperor seemed to straighten his back, and then strode forward, walking through the passage between the ministers.When he walked to Xue Jian's side, he paused for a moment.But without saying anything, he turned his head and greeted old man Mo:
"Uncle."

Old man Mo looked at the emperor with a dark face.Then said in a deep voice:

"Well done!"
