Chapter 1129 The first court(1/2)

 "Alang, get up quickly!"

In the General's Mansion in the east of Chang'an Town, it was not yet dawn, but the lights were already on in Mrs. Right's yard.

The right lady shook Feng Junhou, who was sleeping soundly, and called out.

Feng Junhou, who was sleeping soundly, turned over reluctantly and muttered:

"What time is it?"

"It's already midnight. Get up quickly. If you don't get up, you will be late."

"Yinshi?"

Feng Junhou's mind was in a state of stagnation, and the uncomfortable feeling coming from his body was urging him to continue falling asleep.

He didn't even realize when Yin Shi was.

After working hard for a long time with his right eye, he finally squinted open and glanced out the window. It was pitch black and the night was getting thicker.

"Yinshi? It's just Yinshi, what are you doing when you get up?"

Seeing that Feng Junhou was about to fall asleep again, Mrs. Right became anxious and pulled Feng Junhou desperately:

"Alang, you can't sleep anymore! Otherwise, it will be too late to go to court!"

"When the time comes, my sister will definitely blame me, saying that I don't know the general situation and delayed Alang's getting up..."

"Go to court?"

Suddenly hearing this extremely unfamiliar word, Feng Junhou felt as if he had missed something.

"Go to court!"

This word seemed to stimulate Feng Junhou, and his brain finally began to resume activity.

He turned over again and sat up like a corpse, "I want to go to court?"

"Today is the first time the emperor's brother-in-law has held a court meeting since he moved the capital to Chang'an. Alang is the general of Zhendong, so naturally he will go to court."

As the right lady spoke, she pushed Feng Junhou, "Come on, open your arms."

Feng Junhou was not fully awake yet, his expression was sluggish, and he sat motionless on the couch.

The right lady had no choice but to pull his arm and help him put on his underwear.

After struggling for a while, he threw the pants to him again and motioned for him to put them on himself.

He went to bed again and shouted outside:

"Amei, amei, bring the water in quickly."

The door creaked open, and the first person who came in was not Amei, but Mrs. Zuo.

Guan Xiaojunhou glanced at the room and frowned slightly:

"Why don't Alang come down yet?"

Feng Junhou, who was still a little hesitant at first, saw several of his wives and concubines pouring in, especially Mrs. Zuo's somewhat dissatisfied look.

He finally came to his senses and said while fastening his trousers:

"I was so sleepy that I forgot I had to go to court today."

Mrs. Zuo was immediately dissatisfied when she heard this: "How could you forget such a big event?"

At the same time, he signaled to Li Mu. Li Mu understood and quickly stepped forward to help Feng Junhou.

Amei was holding the toilet items and placing them one by one.

"Have you never been to court?"

Feng Junhou felt a little guilty and glanced at Ye Lu. Calculated by Yin hour, it was less than half past three.

Isn't it so damn difficult to be a Beijing official in ancient times?

In the past few months since the little fat man announced the relocation of the capital, there has never been a court meeting.

Until hundreds of officials from Hanzhong and Jincheng moved here one after another, Chang'an finally managed to set up a general framework.

Today is the first time that a court meeting has been officially held in Chang'an. It is of extraordinary significance and I don't dare to be late.

"You also know that you have never been to court, but you are still unwilling to get up early!"

While the right lady was chattering, she carefully looked over the court clothes prepared last night to avoid any omissions.

The Wu Bian crown decorated with a mink tail inlaid with gold and a jade cicada, a purple crown that can only be worn by princes, a seven-foot-long ribbon, a hook belt inlaid with white jade, a jade lace used to hold down the garment, and

There are ivory wat boards…

It is very complicated and expensive, and it is something that ordinary people can only hope to achieve in their lifetime.

Feng Junhou didn't say anything. He was letting Amei take care of him to wash up.

Following Mrs. Zuo, Lady Hua was curiously looking at the busy people in the room. When she heard Mrs. Right’s nagging, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud:

"It is really rare for an important official of the imperial court to become an official at the age of sixteen and reach the rank of General Zhendong. He has not been in court for more than ten years!"

Mrs. Zuo turned around and scolded:

"If you're still making sarcastic remarks here, go ahead and see if the food in the kitchen is ready? I won't be able to get down for two or three hours after I go to court."

"It was an ordinary court meeting for two or three hours!" Mrs. Right finished checking Feng Junhou's clothes for going to court and said, "Today is different!"

"Today is the day when the emperor awards ministers awards. In my opinion, at least it will be noon, and then Alang can have a palace banquet in the palace."

When the flower girl heard this, she stuck out her tongue, turned around and ran towards the kitchen.

The right lady is still reminding you of the precautions: "But you can't eat too much before going to court. Otherwise, if you can't help it, it will be a loss of etiquette..."

Madam Zuo looked at Feng Junhou who had finished washing:

"Last night, Siniang taught Alang the etiquette of going to court. Did Alang remember all of it?"

"Remember, remember!" Feng Junhou responded, and at the same time he stretched out his arms to let Amei and Li Mu put on their court clothes. "I only remember this in the past few days."

Three days ago, the palace sent someone over to teach him the etiquette of going to court. He was probably afraid that his brother-in-law would not know the rules when he went to court for the first time.

After the people in the palace finished teaching him, Mrs. Right strengthened him again in the past two days to prevent him from making mistakes.

Feng Junhou remained motionless and allowed his two concubines to arrange his court clothes. He turned to look at Madam Zuo, winked and asked with a smile:

"General Zhengdong really doesn't want to go to court with me?"

Mrs. Zuo rolled her eyes at him angrily, snorted, and said, "Not interested."

Seeing that Alang was already at this time and still in the mood to joke and joke, the two concubines, who were a little nervous at first, couldn't help but smile and relaxed.

Also, Alang is the emperor's most trustworthy minister. Even if something goes wrong at the court meeting, the emperor will not blame him too much.

The worst that can happen is you'll be fined a little and go through the motions...

Is the Feng family still afraid of fines?

After putting on the court clothes, the chef also brought the food that had been prepared to the front hall under the supervision of Lady Hua.

After watching a group of wives and concubines busy with themselves, Feng Junhou's vanity was greatly satisfied.

When you are in a happy mood, your appetite will be good.

Once I have a good appetite, I want to eat two more bites.

Who would have expected that Mrs. Right would snatch the job from his hands with a snap of her hand:

"Didn't I just say that? Don't eat too much, just eat until you are full."

Mrs. Zuo also advised:

"What Si Niang said makes sense, Alang, please bear with me."

Amei brought another mouthwash tea. Feng Junhou had no choice but to take it and take a sip. He raised his head and made a few "gurgles" before spitting it into the basin.

Just as he was about to take another sip, he suddenly saw a servant coming to report:

"Your Majesty, General Zhao is here to visit."

"He is quite positive." Feng Junhou muttered, and then said, "Let him come in."

Zhao Guang is one of the very few people who can directly enter Feng Junhou's inner court.

At the same time, he is also someone who the Feng family’s wives and concubines do not have to avoid after coming in.

"Brother!"

Zhao Guang came in excitedly and saw the food on the table. He just picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, then picked up a meat pie and took a big bite.

Unlike Feng Junhou who was wearing court uniform, Zhao Guang was fully armored, no different from preparing for battle.

After the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, the only armored cavalry army in the Han Dynasty led by Zhao Guang was upgraded to the Imperial Guard and renamed the Tiger Cavalry Camp.

Their status is the same as that of the Northern and Southern armies. They jointly defend Chang'an on weekdays and go out in wartime.

Zhao Guang also became the general of the Chinese Army and served as the Central Military Commission, under Zhang Bao in Guanxing.

The military system of the Han Dynasty is divided into five armies, namely the front, rear, left, right and center armies.
