Chapter 219: The First Court Meeting of the Great Chief
Your sister, what a fun thing you think the last dynasty is, what are you doing so early? Don't think that the old lady doesn't know, civil servants are all 9 to 5, and it's good to have weekends off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhy do you have to get up and go to court when you go to the old lady?
In a daze, she was pulled up by Ruhua and a few maids to wash her face and comb her hair, change her clothes, and wrap her in a big coat. brought in breakfast for her to eat, where could Xueqing eat, so she wanted to sleep a little longer: "Otherwise, I won't eat?" Get more sleep. ”
Ruhua said: "Then how can it be done." ”
Xue Qing took a piece of cake and left helplessly, and said as she walked: "Then go to the car to eat." Let's go. ”
Sitting in the carriage, Xue Qing didn't bite the cake, and fell asleep on the soft cushion on the car. Ruhua didn't call her, but in the midst of the bumps, she also dozed off for a while.
When I arrived at Sima Gate, I was awakened by Ruhua, and walked inside in a daze, Ruhua looked at Xueqing's confused appearance, afraid that she would fall or something, so she asked Tianbao to step forward and help.
Walking all the way forward, I wanted to climb up when I saw the stairs of the Xuanshu Palace, took it and was blocked by the eunuch, and took it to a palace next to it. Seeing Xue Qing coming, they all gave their hands to salute, and Xue Qing didn't bother to care which one was which, so she casually found a chair and sat down to doze off.
There were more and more people slowly, and Wei Qing also came. Shaking Xue Qing, she said, "Ah Xue, don't sleep, get up." ”
Xue Qing raised her sleepy eyes and looked at Wei Qing and said, "Oh." Daddy is here. How long will it take to go to court? ”
Wei Qing said: "It's almost there." I heard that you have responded to the emperor's errand and are going to investigate the Shaofu fraud case? ”
Xue Qing nodded: "Yes." ”
Wei Qing said: "How can you do it, don't you just let you play, you have to take care of things, this matter involves a wide range of things, and if you don't get it right, you will be very passive." ”
Xue Qing whispered: "The emperor said to let the concubines check and play first, and he didn't expect to find out anything, but the emperor really couldn't spare his hands to clean them up recently." By the way, didn't the court discuss it yesterday, why is there a court discussion today? Isn't it like it happens every day? ”
Wei Qing sat on the side and said, "Isn't it just for the salt, and you have to make trouble for a while." ”
Xue Qing said: "Is it so difficult, what the emperor wants to do, it's not a matter of an order." ”
Wei Qing said with a smile: "How can it be so simple, this salt is not an ordinary thing, all year round, the entire Han plus the salt smuggled by the border pass, I am afraid that it can build several Weiyang Palaces, so much money, to snatch it out of other people's mouths, people are unwilling, then it is not necessary to make trouble." The emperor has been having a headache about this matter these days. ”
In all dynasties, reform is a big problem, regardless of whether it is Shang Ying, or Wang Anshi, or Zhang Juzheng, or Kang Youwei, once you want to reform, even if your starting point is good, even if you are for the country and the people, as long as it touches the interests of some people, it will inevitably suffer from the crazy counterattack of those with vested interests, this is the law, it is not transferred by the will of people at all, not that you shake the emperor's prestige, Guangxu also trembled, and as a result, he shook himself to Yingtai Gu Ying self-pity.
Drums were playing outside. The officials knew it was time to play. Led by the third duke, hundreds of officials went out of the waiting courtyard in turn and climbed up the stairs. Xue Qing really didn't know where she should go, anyway, she couldn't follow behind Wei Qing, that position was obviously not standing by herself. Just follow behind. The last one climbed the stairs, and in front of the door of the Xuanshu Palace, the shelves for shoes were full, which was magnificent. I'm afraid there is no one left for this eternal wonder. Xue Qing took off her boots and put them aside, not knowing if they would pass on the wrong boots after a while.
Well, it seems that the Japanese have a meeting like this, and the Green Church also has to take off their shoes when they worship. Alas, it doesn't matter if they wear the wrong ones, they won't wear the old lady's little boots anyway, and those stinky men can't wear them anyway, but it's troublesome to meet one or two special fetishes.
Walking into the hall, everyone was methodically finding their own place to kneel and sit, Xue Qing looked left and right, where is the position of this Nima old lady. At this time, a little eunuch came over and led Xue Qing to the middle of the row in front of the right. Xue Qing knelt on the soft cushion and looked up, this position was still good, but it was estimated that there was no way to hide in the corner and sleep.
The drums grew louder. Magnificent. The Emperor walked in from the outside to the beat of the drum, walked through the antechamber, stepped up the steps, and sat on the couch above. The hundred officials stood up, stood in the middle, and then bowed to the emperor.
The sound of the drums suddenly dimmed and turned into a trickle. The emperor waved his hand and said, "All the ministers are flat." ”
The hundred officials looked at the emperor again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up, divided himself into two sides, and returned to his place and sat on his knees. In all dynasties, there are really not many ministers sitting in meetings.
The emperor sat on the soft couch, touched his stomach and said, "Zhuqing, what was good to eat yesterday?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, this dog emperor, he didn't even brew a problem, it was so direct, how could people answer. Xue Qing wanted to raise her hand very much and said, "Eat well and sleep well." ”
The emperor didn't expect others to answer, and said to himself: "Yesterday, I and tens of thousands of people from the Weiyang Palace were hungry all day. To be honest, I have never been hungry in my life. I always hear that when the people are not harvested, or when there is a man-made disaster in the house and the harvest is insufficient, there are always people who want to go hungry. I was hungry for a day, only to realize that this hunger is the most important thing in the world. Cang Liao knows etiquette enough, and if he can't eat enough, he doesn't have much energy to do anything else. What do you think? ”
The hundred officials could only bow down and say: "Your Majesty's compassion for the people is really a blessing for the world." ”
The emperor dragged his chin with his hands on a few cases, and said: "It doesn't matter if I'm hungry, tens of thousands of people in the Guardian Palace, how innocent is it, there is a way that the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, but I didn't expect that I, the emperor, set a precedent." What the hell is going on, can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on? ”
The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart, and the heart meditates, you can't see me, you can't see me. This is already a compulsory course for being a courtier.
Xue Qing's heart is actually not on this at all, but the matter of salt that was discussed after this incident, compared to the bad debt in Shaofu, Xue Qing is obviously more interested in salt. I thought I was going to talk about salt today. (To be continued.) )
