Chapter 11 The Great Meeting
Today is Li Jun's first step out of this world, I heard Empress Dowager Wei say that when the first emperor was the prince before, he was also a very good person, otherwise with the shrewdness of Emperor Jingtai, he would not have made the first emperor the prince, but since he met Zhao Yuyan, the first emperor has completely changed, cruel and suspicious, and indulged in wine......
Regarding Empress Dowager Wei's argument, Li Jun felt that 80% of it was out of women's jealousy, which king was not lustful? Even emperors like Emperor Qin and Han Wu are not exempt from vulgarity, but why didn't they degenerate into the first emperor in the end? The most fundamental reason actually appeared in the first emperor, but the first emperor was good at disguise, and even a generation of Ming Emperor Jingtai was deceived by him, and his true form would not be revealed until he became the emperor.
In this world, Li Jun specifically asked Sima Da that no emperor has ever issued a "Guilty Edict", so Li Jun is ready to set a precedent, anyway, he is admitting his mistakes for the first emperor, and he is not doing it wrong, which has two advantages: one is to win back the hearts of the people; The second is to establish prestige.
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years made the world's public resentment boiling, it was by relying on a letter of "Guilty Edict" to save the hearts of the people, only then did the rule of Zhaoxuan, Li Jun is facing the situation now is actually quite similar to Han Wu, Han Wu is relying on his previous exploits in expelling the Xiongnu, the people will forgive him, and Li Jun wants to rely on the grace of Emperor Jingtai to obtain the people's forgiveness.
Li Jun felt that he came to this world, the luckiest thing is that Li Jun has a good grandfather, Emperor Jingtai reigned for 15 years, resisted Northern Liao in the north, attacked Southern Chu in the south, pacified the rebellion of the six kings, completely changed the situation that the princes and princes could not fall off, recuperated internally, cherished the people, reduced the tax to 30 to one, and was deeply loved by the people, according to He Shen, after the death of Emperor Jingtai, the palace maids who were willing to be martyred for him reached more than 300 people.
Li Jun scoffed at He Shen's statement, and some of the more than 300 people may be willingly martyred, but Li Jun felt that most of them were forced to die by the first emperor.
Today is Li Jun's first big court meeting in this world, a black dragon robe is worn on Li Jun's body, the Tang Dynasty lives in water, dressed in black, wearing a crown of twelve, pressing Li Jun's dizziness, He Shen next to him saw Li Jun's dress, but he burst into tears.
Li Jun patted He Shen's hand and said, "Da Changqiu, it will be better in the future." ”
"The old slave believes in Your Majesty." He Shen touched his tears and said.
Li Jun came to the Purple Hui Hall under the escort of Wei Chaodong, the Purple Hui Hall was opened every five days when the emperor held a large court meeting, and the emperor usually dealt with political affairs in the imperial study, which was the practice of the Son of Heaven in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jun walked up the imperial steps step by step, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "How many people are there in this Manchu Dynasty who are really loyal to me? Obey me? ”
Coming to the dragon chair, Li Jun waved his dragon robe and turned around and sat down, and an attendant shouted: "Your Majesty is coming to the court, and hundreds of officials are paying respects." ”
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Xiao Wangzhi and Taiwei Wuji, the civil and military officials bowed three times and bowed nine times to Li Jun, the new monarch, and shouted: "Ministers see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live." ”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jun was very excited in his heart, feeling that his body was full of endless power, no wonder so many people were willing to be emperors? What is the emperor, according to the folk explanation, the emperor is the son of heaven, sent to manage the world, the subjects of the world, the emperor can kill and take away, do whatever he wants.
But being an emperor is also very risky, Li Jun has never heard of the emperor being ousted from the throne and still be able to start and finish well? The position that everyone in the world yearns for, Li Jun got it without much effort, of course, there are many people who feel unconvinced, so Li Jun's future road is destined to be difficult.
Looking at the civil and military officials in front of him, Li Jun cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I was sick some time ago and couldn't handle the government, so I've worked hard for you. ”
"This is a matter within the minister's share, and I dare not talk about its hard work." Xiao Wangzhi said.
Li Jun nodded and said: "The prime minister doesn't need to say much, those who have merit are rewarded, those who have faults are punished, and the rewards and punishments are clear, I still recognize it." ”
As soon as Li Jun's words fell, many ministers' hearts chuckled, you must know that this Tang Dynasty emperor is famous for his love of revenge, especially Emperor Jingtai, he may remember a little problem in his heart, remember it for ten or eight years, and slowly settle accounts, not to mention the crime of colluding with the vassal king and watching the throne during the emperor's illness.
At this time, another chamberlain shouted: "Civil and military officials, please play if you have something, and you have nothing to retreat from." ”
Xiao Wangzhi stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has two things, please take a look at it." ”
"Prime Minister, please speak."
"Your Majesty, the former Imperial Doctor Qiu Que passed away last month, and now the position of Imperial Doctor is vacant, please appoint Your Majesty as soon as possible."
"Oh, do you have any recommendations for the prime minister and the hundred officials?" Li Jun continued to ask.
Imperial Doctor is one of the three dukes, second only to the prime minister and the prince, such a court giant is generally appointed by the emperor himself, who dares to recommend candidates for a hundred officials.
So the hundred officials immediately bowed down and said, "Please Your Majesty." ”
But Li Jun didn't know, seeing that the ball was kicked back into his hand, Li Jun scolded his mother in his heart, but he still asked with a pleasant face: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a big deal to do talent for the country, everyone can speak enthusiastically, don't have any worries." ”
The ministers looked left and right, and still said in unison: "Please Your Majesty Holy Judgment." ”
This time Li Jun really had no choice, and he also complained in his heart that Xiao Wangzhi, an old fox, gave himself such a problem when he went to the court for the first time, in fact, this is really wronged Xiao Wangzhi, and the three princes recommended that the prime minister was not allowed to interfere, this is Zu Xun.
Li Jun thought about it carefully, and found that he was really unfamiliar with this minister of the DPRK and China, and the position of the imperial historian was extraordinary, and he must not be taken lightly.
With an idea in his heart, Li Jun asked confidently: "Where is the middle of the imperial history?" ”
"In the history of the minister, Zhang An will see Your Majesty." A middle-aged man came out of the room.
Li Jun looked Zhang An up and down, and his appearance was still pleasing to the eye, Li Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Listen to the order in the imperial history." ”
"The minister is here." Zhang An immediately knelt down and said.
"I ordered you to temporarily take the position of Imperial Doctor Shi and behave well, I will give you a three-month probationary period, and if you perform well, I will turn you into a regular person."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, it turned out that they could still play like this, and at the same time, a lot of envy, jealousy and hatred turned to Zhang An, the middle of the imperial history, Zhang An was stunned by the pie that fell from the world, and he forgot to thank him for a while, thanks to Xiao Wangzhi's reminder next to him, Zhang An reacted.
Zhang An knelt on the ground and wept bitterly and said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust......"
