Chapter 1218 New Atmosphere

Speaking of this, Su You remembered, and hurriedly threw his hands together, and continued to tinkle with fragments: "That's right, this time the station is too far ahead, if something goes wrong in a while, please cover it up with your seniors." ”

"Can't you just not go wrong?!" Wang Qi was about to be angered by Su You, but Cai Qu, Feng Jing and the others couldn't help laughing.

Two moments before the leak, the ceremonial official reported that the Xuande door was opened, and the court meeting officially began.

Wang Jue straightened his clothes: "Let's go." "Follow behind the members of the clan, take square steps, lead the ministers, and walk towards the Xuande Gate.

In front of the Xuande Gate, the red color is colored, and the Aoshan Mountain has been piled up.

The location of Ao Mountain is slightly earlier than in previous years, because it is necessary to make room for elephants and Shang and Zhou relics.

At this year's court meeting, there were six huge white elephants in front of Xuande Gate.

The white elephant wears a huge forehead embroidered with red velvet gold on its head, the ivory is decorated with a gold chun, and the elephant seat on its back is replaced by a large tin bottle from the South China Sea, which is decorated with gold, silver, copper, jade, precious stones, and pearls.

There is no such thing as a ritual system in previous dynasties, but it is still the idea given by Su You, which means "there is an elephant in peace".

The elephant is now also a glorious official of the Great Song Taifu Temple, wearing a green robe, holding an elephant in his hand, and shouting: "Li-"

The six elephants raised their heads together and raised their long trunks high to salute the officials who entered the Xuande Gate.

Then the little grain of sand pressed down on the elephant and shouted, "Bye-"

Six white elephants slumped their forelimbs and bowed to the ranks of officials.

This one is very rare at the big gift of the Central Plains Dynasty, and there was a little excitement in the crowd.

Especially the envoys of the South China Sea who hung at the end of the line were even more coveted for the wealth and atmosphere of the Song Dynasty.

White Elephant! Or six! This is destiny!

Walking into the Xuande Gate, on both sides of the royal road, there are many wooden platforms that are high for all people.

Each wooden platform is covered with a glass cover of great value.

On both sides of the door, the officials are greeted by two big tripods.

One is the Tao three-legged tripod, unearthed in Pei Li Gang, Xinzheng, Henan, representing the Xia Dynasty.

One is a bronze four-legged square tripod, unearthed in the military attache village of Anyang, Henan, representing the Shang Dynasty.

After that, along the steps, all the way are the large-scale ritual vessels of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, representing the historical witness and glorious achievements of the Chinese civilization.

The hearts of the officials were excited, this time the court meeting was different from the past, and there seemed to be something more.

Many people think of the two words that Su You has always been thinking about - national character.

These things are the unique advantages of Chinese civilization, whether it is the Liao State commensurate with the Great Song brothers, or the Western Xia, which has always tried to sit on an equal footing with the Great Song Dynasty in the west, they can't come up with such things.

Coming to the platform of the main hall, on one side there is a white marble watch produced in the second forest department, and on the other side, a flat jar and a large yang sui designed by Wang Yanbi are placed.

The furnishings in the Zichen Hall have been upgraded again.

All the wooden utensils were replaced with red sandalwood and golden silk nan from the South China Sea, and the screen behind the throne was inlaid with eight treasures of red sandalwood.

In front of the throne, the eight treasures glazed inlaid bell, the color is more bright and dazzling, in addition to the huge Jun glazed porcelain bottle, the glazed porcelain bottle, the pastel depiction porcelain bottle, the yellow and white copper Rui beast in front of the palace, the incense burner, the huge mahogany incense case, the printed bricks on the ground, the wool blanket laid by the wolf, the glass color palace lamp on the head, all show the magnanimity of the Great Song Dynasty today.

The court meeting went very smoothly, with 150 million years old into the foundation, there are amazing unearthing of the old treasure text of Xia Shang, there are the latest theories such as heliocentric fire virtue, and Wang Jue's one of the most precious pills is written in a way that can be called a pearl of words, reaching the highest level in this life.

There is also a ceremonial music played by the new bell chime of the twelve equal temperaments, which realizes the modulation and harmony for the first time, and adds a layer of grandeur and grandeur on top of the elegance of the center.

Moreover, compared with the previous ritual music, the whole piece constitutes a complete narrative chapter, with the ancient Xun attack unearthed in the summer capital, and the new chapter "The Rising of the South China Sea" added at the end, which represents the vicissitudes of Chinese civilization from ancient times to today, step by step, and the expectation and determination to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future.

The ministers listened to it with fascination and excitement, this court meeting can be called a new spiritual baptism.

Fu Guogong, who worries everyone the most, finally did not have any leaks with the help of counting rings.

At the end of the morning meeting, the two prodigies of the Great Song Dynasty, Su Yi and Wang Yanbi, wearing children's buns and plain feather clothes, led the heavenly fire from the yang sui in front of everyone, and once again gained a small sensation.

After that, Zhao Xuan announced that the afternoon banquet would be organized by this heavenly fire for everyone, with the meaning of the Ming and Song dynasties.

When the banquet came, a few South China Sea-style dishes were even more amazing to everyone.

Especially the magical crystal skin buns, both in appearance and taste, are simply wonderful.

Especially when he thought that these dishes were cooked by Tianhuo, the ministers were even more excited, and it was not one or two who shook off the buns from the chopsticks.

Fortunately, this is no longer the kind of big ceremony in the court, between eating and drinking, the palace Cheng glared at most and did not come to correct the bullet.

This is the first time that Zhao Ji has seen the sincere joy of the ministers to give the banquet, instead of fiddling with chopsticks and going through the motions like before, he became interested and added a touch to everyone.

There is also a small cup of coconut milk sago dew at the end, which is red, yellow, and white, and there are many kinds of fruit cubes that can't even be named, which is even more fragrant, so that Zhao Ji can't help but write a poem, and order the ministers to accompany him, pushing the banquet to the peak of joy.

In short, the grand court meeting of the fourth year of Yuanfeng is a harmonious and perfect grand court, which means a rich and positive court.

The significance of this court meeting lies in the official arrival of the turning point of the Great Song Dynasty's national fortunes, the Great Song Dynasty re-embarked on a new path of vigorous development, and Zhao Ji, as the emperor, completely unified the will of the court.

So Zhao Ji took the opportunity to announce a series of major policies at the court meeting.

The Great Song Dynasty changed the ritual system in order to restore the orthodoxy of China since the Western Zhou Dynasty;

The Great Song Dynasty changed the official system, in order to restore the atmosphere and simplicity of the unified regime of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty;

In addition, for the first time, the officials will be included in the scope of government management, and the imperial court will issue official salaries to the officials, which will indicate that the political system has become more subtle, and the government efficiency will be reduced to the village level for the first time.

At the same time, Zhao also announced that the Great Song Dynasty will also carry out tax reform, and the government issued a tax reduction decree for the first time, reducing the land property tax from the original three percent to two percent and five!

Don't underestimate this half percent, the tax per mu of the Great Song Dynasty is close to 100 million guan a year, and this half percent is almost around 5 million guan!

This is the two dynasties of Zhenzong and Yingzong, and the average annual income surplus of the imperial court is a year!

This is really to benefit the people, even the most demanding and conservative ministers such as Sima Guang, Wang Anli, etc., are full of tears, bow to Zhao Ji, and call benevolence.

As soon as this order came out, the world rejoiced, and all the people celebrated!

This is the biggest difference between the Su family's reform and the Wang's reform, everyone has benefited, and the fame really belongs to the monarch.

Su You, as the actual operator of the reform, continued to hide behind the scenes and started the new year's doggy.

And more sensitive courtiers, such as Cai Qu and Xing Shu, saw some secrets of this great court meeting.

For example, in the ode to Fanbang, Khotan was chosen this year, and the lord of Khotan claimed to have been invaded by the Western Eclipse, and Khotan fought with it for almost a hundred years in order to defend the western gateway of China, and now it finally can't bear it.

There is also Khotan since ancient times, which has been a part of the Chinese tribute, and is now blocked by the Western Xia, resulting in the tribute road being blocked for 90 years.

This tribute was made from the South China Sea.

Choose this recital, and the aftertaste is very rich.

There is also a copy sent by Goryeo, expressing solemn gratitude to the Great Song Dynasty for sending Wenhua to Goryeo, cultivating a Dharma master like Prince Yitian for Goryeo, and the two envoys for teaching "Yi" and "Li" to the prince of Goryeo.

This piece of music is also very interesting, which is to tell the Tibetan genus the correct posture of the Chinese little licking dog.

The congratulatory table sent by the Liao State this year was much more polite than before, and both openly and secretly hinted that the Great Song Dynasty should increase the scale of trade between the two islands and promote trade.

The congratulatory table of the Western Xia can even be called "humble", Liang Yi is mostly buried in the envoy group, for fear that people will see him, and he has completely lost the kind of arrogance of the Western Xia envoys in the past.
