    Surrounded by Zheng Qing and Qing E, Chen Wanrong came out of the house. He saw that the sky was dark and there was no light at all. He muttered: "Do you still need to live if you go to court so early?"

    Zheng Zhou came up to him, smiled and consoled him: "Wan Rong, don't complain. It's just this once. At least you can endure it."

    It makes sense. Not surprisingly, this is the only time Chen Wanrong goes to court in his life. No matter how hard or tiring he is, he has to endure it, not to mention getting up early. He nodded and said: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for reminding me."

    "Go quickly, don't be late!" Mrs. Zheng Zhou took Zheng Qing and Qing'e to see them off, and came to the square gate, but saw that the square was closed and had not been opened yet.  There was a "dong" sound, and the street drum was already ringing. The doorman yawned, shuffled his shoes, took the key, and wandered out to open the door.

    There are strict regulations on the opening and closing of Chang'an City Gate, and the sound of drums is used as a signal.  When the door opens in the morning, the drum must be beaten three thousand times. This is just a rule, and it does not have to be three thousand times. The drums should be beaten from five to two o'clock in the morning until distant objects can be seen. This is called "stopping by color discrimination".

    Drums are used as trumpets in the morning and evening, which provides people with great convenience. People in the Tang Dynasty called this drum sound "Dongdong".  According to regulations, when the drum sounds, the surrounding city gates are opened first, and then the square gate.  Just listen to the doorman shouting at the top of his voice: "Open the square door" The key shook and opened the square door.

    Chen Wanrong has come to Chang'an many times, and never wakes up until dawn. This is the first time that he sees the gate of the square open and smells the thunderous sound of drums, which makes him laugh.  Although I had heard this drum sound in the past and used it as a lullaby in my sleep, today it was thrilling.

    Zheng Qing snuggled next to Zheng Qing and accompanied Chen Wanrong out of the workshop.  Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "You guys go back, I will go there right away. The East Palace is very close to here."

    "No, I'll give you another ride!" Zheng Qing didn't want to say goodbye.  Zheng Zhou thought it was a great honor for Chen Wanrong to go to court today and did not want to go back immediately, saying: "Let's see him off again."

    As he was talking, Chen Zai Rong's voice sounded: "Brother, hurry up." Then there were the sound of stomping footsteps, and Chen Zai Rong appeared in front of him.

    "Aunt, sister-in-law, you go back. I'll take my brother there." Chen Zairong said to Zheng Qing's mother and daughter.

    When Chen Zairong came to pick her up, she felt relieved. Zheng Qing smiled and said, "Come back soon." She lowered her voice in Chen Wanrong's ear and said, "I'll prepare delicious food for you." She only drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning.  Somewhat apologetic.

    Chen Wanrong said with a smile: "I know! Zai Rong, let's go." The two of them strode away, Zheng Qing and the others did not turn around until Chen Wanrong disappeared.

    Before we arrived at the East Palace, the drumming had stopped, and Chang'an was noisy again, with busy traffic and people coming and going, making it very lively.  Li Longji was riding a horse, stationed beside the horse road, and was looking out. When he saw the two brothers Chen Wanrong approaching, he patted the horse's back and came up to him and said, "I didn't disturb your sweet dream, did I?"

    Chen Wanrong hurriedly saluted and said: "I've met the prince! Back to the prince, getting up early is good for your physical and mental health."

    Li Longji laughed and said: "You always have something to say. Get on the horse." A soldier led a horse, and Chen Wanrong took the reins and got on the horse.  Li Longji saw it and commented: "You are quite skilled. You don't have to ride a horse?"

    Chen Wanrong answered truthfully: "The prince doesn't know something. I have a pretty decent horse at home, and I have to get up every morning to ride it. Over time, it will become familiar with it."

    Nodding, Li Longji waved his hand and said: "Let's go." He patted the horse's back and walked in the lead.  Chen Wanrong, Chen Zairong, Gao Lishi, Yang Sixu, and Wang Maozhong hurriedly rode up to follow.

    The court meeting of the Tang Dynasty was held in the Daming Palace. The East Palace is very close to the Daming Palace. Go north along the street, pass Guangzhaifang, and soon arrive at Danfeng Street. Go east along the street.  Danfeng Street is the street outside Daming Palace, 176 meters wide.  Danfeng Street is now very lively, with high-speed cars and horses coming in droves, passing through Danfeng Gate and entering the Daming Palace.

    Occasionally, an official on horseback saw the prince and saluted Li Longji, but Li Longji just waved his hand, said no courtesy, and drove away.  Chen Wanrong and the others hurriedly followed.

    The Ming Dynasty was built on Longshou Plateau and was built according to the terrain. It is rectangular in the south and trapezoid in the north.  The city wall is 1.5 kilometers wide from east to west and 2.5 kilometers long from north to south. The walls are all made of rammed earth. The base of the wall is 10.5 meters wide. The corners and gates are covered with bricks and widened, and towers and turrets are built on them.

    There are nine city gates in total, the Danfeng Gate is in the middle of the south, the Wangxian Gate is to the east, and the Jianfu Gate is to the west.  In the middle of the north is the famous Xuanwu Gate. It was here that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty launched the "Xuanwu Gate Revolution" to ascend the throne and began the famous "Reign of Zhenguan".  To the east of Xuanwu Gate is Yinhan Gate and to the west is Qingxiao Gate.  There is a left Yintai gate on the east wall.  There is Jiuxian Gate in the north of the west city wall and Youyintai Gate in the south.

    After all, it was Chen Wanrong's wish to see the Daming Palace, but he never got the chance. Today, he was lucky enough to see it, so Chen Wanrong naturally wanted to take a good look at it.  Passed DanfengHearing the sound of footsteps behind him, the official turned his head and looked at Chen Wanrong with surprise on his face. He opened his mouth to ask why Chen Wanrong was here, but fortunately he reacted quickly and closed it immediately.  After glancing at Chen Wanrong for a few times, he turned his head. Without even thinking about Chen Wanrong, he could see the word surprise written on his face.

    The Chao Hui is divided into the Ri Chao Hui and the Shuo Wang Chao Hui. The Shuo Wang Chao Hui takes place on the first day of every month and Wangri. All officials above the ninth rank in Beijing must go to see the emperor.  The Japanese dynasty is a dynasty every day. Not every official can go to see the emperor. Only those with a fifth rank or above are eligible.

    According to the official costumes of the Tang Dynasty, officials who were eligible to participate in the Japanese Dynasty were either wearing purple or scarlet clothes. However, Chen Wanrong was dressed in Tsing Yi. When he stood in the main hall, he did not stand out from the crowd of chickens, but a native chicken got into the crowd of cranes, which was extremely abrupt.  Many officials had already discovered Chen Wanrong and couldn't help but look at him, astonished.

    However, Chen Wanrong didn't react at all. He leisurely took out the bamboo wat from his waist, held it in his hand, and looked forward, with a rather arrogant look on his face, as if he didn't take officials seriously.  (To be continued.
