Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Proceedings of the Great Hall
When Zhao Qingxuan and Guo Yu walked into the hall, there were already many people standing on the main hall.
Zhao Qingxuan walked towards the throne in front of him, while Guo Yu silently walked into the queue of generals on the right side of the hall.
There was some commotion in the hall, and people gathered in twos and threes, whispering about the purpose of the king's edict to come. In their thoughts, there is a chance that Zhao Qingxuan will do some ridiculous things this time.
"General Zhengnan."
When Guo Yu was looking around, he saw Wang Ziwei walking towards him.
Although he had just met him in the morning, Guo Yu was still a little relieved to see him again.
There is no other reason, among the dozens of people in this hall at the moment, few of them are recognized by Guo Yu. The ministers were all gathered together, and if he was the only one standing on one side, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, Mei Zhisheng and Li Kui have both been transferred out of Tianlan to the border half a month ago, except for Wang Ziwei, Guo Yu, the military attache in the palace, really doesn't know anyone anymore.
"General Black Bamboo."
Guo Yu arched his hand towards Wang Ziwei.
"When I was in Yanzhou, the last generals were generally stationed in the north, and I couldn't return to Yanping a few times a year."
Wang Ziwei said: "And the king is not very diligent in court politics, and the number of times he has been to the court is only a handful. It is the first time in several years that the last general has participated in the deliberations like this. I was really nervous. β
Listening to Wang Ziwei's words, Guo Yu grinned.
It was also the first time for Guo Yu to participate in this kind of occasion as Song Chen, although he was not nervous, but his inner feeling was also a little wonderful.
"I just don't know what the king called everyone to the palace so solemnly."
Guo Yu thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe... It's for that coronation..."
Zhao Qingxuan had talked to him about this matter yesterday, and most of the officials who stayed in Yanping now had already come to Tianlan, and this matter should also be put on the agenda.
In addition, Guo Yu could no longer think of anything to Zhao Qingxuan.
At this time, Zhao Qingxuan had already sat down in his position, and he didn't mind the slightest small discussion below, and he couldn't help yawning at the moment, looking very bored.
After a while, Zhang Yu walked into the hall with a stack of papers. As soon as the figure of the middle-aged scribe appeared, the discussion in the main hall was suddenly swept away.
This is not because of Zhang Yu's high prestige, or his power. It's just because everyone really doesn't want to listen to the preaching of this Great Song Zuo Minister.
Zhang Yu walked to the center, took a deep look at Zhao Qingxuan, and said with some shame: "Weichen is late, and I ask the king to forgive me." β
"It's okay, Zhang Xiang gets up quickly."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu straightened up, and then walked to the side, standing at the front of the civil official on the left.
Not long after Zhang Yu came, Pang Yu also walked in from outside the hall. However, compared to the former, he clearly has nothing

Regret. He folded his hands on his sleeves, and then swaggered to stand next to Zhang Yu.
With the appearance of the two ministers one after another, the Chinese officials of the DPRK have all arrived. On the military attachΓ©'s side, those who received Zhao Qingxuan's summons have almost arrived, and there is only one person missing.
The man didn't come, and Zhao Qingxuan didn't mean to speak, and dozens of people in the hall waited without saying a word.
After a while, the tall figure finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Wang Wushu was still wearing the same black robe he wore in the morning, and the old man's footsteps were unhurried, and he walked towards the hall step by step.
When he passed Guo Yu, Wang Wushu snorted coldly, and then stood at the forefront of the military attache on the right.
"Alright, now that we've arrived, let's get started."
Zhao Qingxuan glanced downward, then clapped his hands and smiled: "I summoned everyone here today, and there are only two things to do..."
"The king had better be serious."
Without waiting for Zhao Qingxuan to finish speaking, Wang Wushu said in a deep voice: "The old man is not Pang Yu, and he is not interested in accompanying you to mess around." β
As soon as Wang Wushu said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little stiff.
Pang Yu sneered and did not speak.
"The king is invincible, how can you be so rude to the king?"
Zhang Yu also frowned and said: "Although Pang Xiang is indeed not a thing, this is not a reason for you to be presumptuous after all!" β
"You're not a fucking thing!"
Regarding Pang Yu's words, Zhang Yu just didn't hear them.
"The old man is just telling the truth."
Wang Wushu said: "Don't forget, since the king's accession to the throne, the number of times he has convened his ministers to discuss matters is only a handful. Four of them were idle and bored and had nothing to do to summon people to play, and the only time there was something to do, and the reason was to ask us how we could make the princess happy. β
The old man looked at Zhao Qingxuan, who had no trace of guilt on the throne, and his eyes were full of disdain.
Hearing Wang Wu's words, Guo Yu silently held his forehead.
He knew that Zhao Qingxuan rarely had serious times, and most of the time he looked like a hanger on weekdays.
However, Guo Yu didn't expect that Zhao Qingxuan would be able to do such a thing.
Gather the ministers to discuss how to make the princess happy?
Turtle turtle, no wonder Wang Wushu didn't have a good face against Zhao Qingxuan this morning.
Zhao Qingxuan said with a smile: "General Zhenxi is too worried, at this time, where does Lone still have the heart to do some ridiculous things." β
"There are two main reasons for calling everyone here. This first thing is that Lone wants to hold a coronation ceremony in Tianlan. β
As soon as Zhao Qingxuan's words came out, the discussion in the field sounded again.
A slightly chubby civil official said: "Coronation ceremony? The king has been on the throne for 20 years now, so why is there a great ceremony at this time? β
"Isn't this what I didn't do at the beginning, and Lone just wanted to make up for himself."
Zhao Qingxuan smiled: "Otherwise."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, among the kings of the Great Song Dynasty, only one has not been crowned, isn't it a little shabby. β
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to hold such a big ceremony at such a time?"
The civil official said: "Although the enemy Qi State has been destroyed, the situation of the Great Song Dynasty is not much better than before. The barbarians in the north are still in trouble, and the Yongguo in the west is waiting for them, not to mention the inevitable remnants of the Qi country..."
"Sun Taichang's statement, the appearance does not agree."
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "It may cost a lot of money to hold a ceremony, but this coronation is an indispensable ceremony for kings after all. At the beginning, the Great Song Dynasty suffered a catastrophe and failed to hold it for the king, and now that the grudge is over, it is indeed time to make up for the king. β
Taichang Sun Bo retorted: "But wouldn't it be better to use this silver for border soldiers?" After all, after a series of wars, even if the treasury is not empty, it is also a lot of losses..."
Zhao Qingxuan grinned and said: "There is no shortage of silver, after breaking through Tianlan, the soldiers of our army scavenged a lot of silver from the treasury of Qi and the homes of those ministers, and they made a small profit." β
"That's also..."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to struggle anymore."
Pang Yu rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Don't think that the old man doesn't know your little thoughts, you don't do anything for eight hundred years, don't think about continuing to fish now." β
"Ugh..."
Taichang Sun Bo, who was in charge of the sacrificial affairs, couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words, and his expression was a little aggrieved.
Guo Yu on the other side couldn't help but pout when he saw this.
Seeing this Sun Bo arguing with reason, he thought that he was really thinking about the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that what he did in the end was himself.
Who are these people in the Great Song Dynasty...
Zhao Qingxuan said loudly: "In short, Lone has decided to hold the coronation ceremony, what do you Aiqing think?" If you have any opinions, you may wish to put them forward and discuss them together. β
The ministers below looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
At the end of the day, this matter has little to do with them. What's more, since even the two prime ministers agreed, they had no reason to oppose it.
"Okay, if no one objects, then this matter will be decided like this, as for the time, it will be set in three days..."
"Three days later? Your Majesty, this is a little too short. β
"Unhurried, unhurried."
Zhao Qingxuan smiled at Sun Bo and said: "There are also sacrificial utensils in the warehouse, and there is a high platform on the east side of the palace, so there is no need to build any altars and platforms, which is very convenient." Too often, you just need to arrange the people and processes before that. β
ββ¦ Promise. β
Sun Bo retreated a little depressedly.
"Well, that's the second thing."
Zhao Qingxuan swept his gaze around the hall, and then said: "Xiangzhou, Huaizhou, Qizhou, it's time for these three states to send official officials. β
