In the twentieth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

The Great Qin Dynasty is a three-day dynasty, and today is the day of the early dynasty.

When the sky was bright, the dark red palace gate of Dongye Gate slowly opened, and two rows of eunuchs walked out of the door.

The civil and military officials, who had been waiting outside the Dongye Gate for a long time, were all shocked. didn't say much, so he habitually followed behind the eunuch and entered the palace gate.

All the way to the Imperial Palace, the warriors guarding the surrounding area have been changed from the Imperial Forest Army to the armed class, setting off the grand and majestic Imperial Palace, as if carrying the mighty national fortune. The hundred officials consciously lined up in the order of the left and the right, and entered the hall according to the level of the officials.

Pei Yuanluo stood in the queue of military ministers, and Pei Shengqin stood in the queue of Wenchen.

From the right general to the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Shengqin successfully changed from a military general to a civil minister, and when he reached the position of the sixth minister, he must also participate in the early dynasty. The position of the right general has not been canceled, but Pei Shengqin, the right general, is considered a fictitious position, with a rank and a good reputation, but he has no specific position. According to the practice of the dynasty, the real position should be more important than the false position, and now that there is a real position of the Ministry of Rites, it is natural to be recognized as a civil servant.

Pei Yuanluo is the same, the original civil service Zitong Taishou has not been canceled, and Zitong County is still Pei's sphere of influence. However, because Pei Yuanluo did not sit in Zitong anymore, this position of Taishou naturally became a vacant position. And now Pei Yuanluo is actually exercising the functions of General Wei and General Tiance, commanding the Tiance Army to defend the Beijing Division, so he is recognized as a military minister.

Pei Shengqin is wearing a serious court dress for the first time today, with wide sleeves and a waist, equipped with a crown, clothes, scarves, etc., the crown is a compromised crown, the clothes are the right Hanfu, and the waist is a silver medal Zisui. As for shoes, they are generally not worn, and before going to court, you need to untie your sword and take off your shoes outside the Imperial Palace. Unless it is some important minister, who was given the "sword shoes and palace" by the Qin Emperor, he can wear shoes to the court.

These are actually the purest old systems of the Han Dynasty, after all, the former Qin was inherited from the Later Zhao, and the Later Zhao was inherited from the former Zhao. Although the former Zhao royal family was a mixture of the Han Dynasty clan and the Xiongnu clan, at the beginning of the army, it was under the banner of opposing the Jin Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, and the clothing system was naturally the Han system. On the contrary, today's Eastern Jin Dynasty, in terms of clothing system, has long been very different from the Han dynasty in the past. For example, the court clothes of the officials of the Jin Dynasty are dog-tailed hats, and a fluffy air-dried dog tail is on the head, which is extremely ugly.

In fact, this was not the case in the early years of the Jin Dynasty, when the Jin Dynasty still used the popular sable crown of the Han Dynasty, that is, the mink tail hat painted with the wing pattern of the cicada, which is not much different from the crown of the Qin Dynasty that is prevalent today. It was not until later that Sima Lun ascended the throne, due to the near collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty's finances, and the fact that mink fur was a luxury and the price was high, gradually the Jin Dynasty could not even afford to buy mink tails as court clothes. The clever Western Jin Emperor Sima Lun quickly thought of a good way to save costs, yes, you guessed correctly, the famous allusion in history "Dog's Tail Continuation Mink" came out from here.

Since then, officials of the Jin Dynasty have begun to wear dog-tailed hats uniformly, and it has been until now. Don't think that the dog's tail and the mink tail look similar, the two are presented in the vision, probably the difference between the old man named Hanako in the dogskin jacket and the noble lady in the mink coat in the later generations.

The palace of the emperor is lit with a lantern, burning incense, as soon as you enter the hall, you will feel relaxed and happy, and your mind is clear.

"I'm afraid this fragrance is not ambergris, it's so awesome, and it can also refresh your mind." Pei Shengqin smacked his tongue secretly, while greedily breathing the air in the hall, he suddenly felt that the good sandalwood he used at home was simply rubbish.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Remembering with the morning bell, Emperor Qin wore the black crown of the Son of Heaven and slowly ascended to the throne.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hundreds of civil and military officials bowed one after another, and Pei Shengqin also bowed like the officials around him, and he also looked good. Obviously, this court meeting is much more formal than the previous temporary morning meeting in Xiangcheng County.

Except for non-important court ceremonies, ordinary early dynasties do not need to perform three bows and nine bows. After bowing once, the hundred officials fell to the ground one after another, and waited until the Qin Emperor sat down, and whispered "All the Qing's family is flat", and then the hundred officials recited a sentence of "Thank Your Majesty" in unison, and then got up after the salute.

It has been a short time since the two assassinations and the rebellion, and Emperor Qin's anger has gradually subsided, and his face looks quite good.

The court meeting was still the same, first announcing the recent personnel appointments and dismissals, military transfers, and then began to circulate important information about the states and counties, and began to discuss them. Recently, not only Jingshi has been eventful, but there are also many local things.

Let's talk about the north first, Zhang Shuai sent troops from the Great Wall, drove straight into Hanhai County, and recovered the lost territory for hundreds of miles. Tuoba Jue hurriedly mobilized heavy troops, with Hua Mulan as the guard general of Shenhepi, and guarded the important town of Shenhepi in the central part of Hanhai County, in order to resist Zhang Shuai's northward advance. At the same time as Zhang Shuai sent troops, the Rouran Protectorate also sent troops to respond, and the Rouran Metropolitan Protector Hou Baqin led the army to attack Beiting County in the south, and Tuoba Jue ordered Dugu Kuren to lead the army to Beiting to defend it. While holding on, Tuoba was also well versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare, and he ordered Hua Chenglai to form a light cavalry, which often avoided Zhang Shuai's northern expeditionary army and went around the rear to harass the Great Wall.

"His Royal Highness is sparse, and Wei Wei rides back and forth like the wind, disturbing the Great Wall every time. There are only a few thousand guards on the Great Wall, and it is difficult to support them. And if Zhang Shuai's army comes back to help, Wei Yi will flee and be difficult to kill, and when Zhang Shuai leaves, he will make a comeback. His Royal Highness requested that the Great Wall Guards be expanded to secure the border. ”

Prime Minister Wang Yongnian couldn't help but express his opinion: "The Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, and the defense line is extremely long, and it is by no means possible for thousands of people to defend it. In the past, when the Northern Dynasty was not destroyed, the imperial court invested more than 100,000 defenders in the defense line of the Great Wall. Now that there is a rebellion in the north, although the threat is far less than that of the original Northern Dynasty, the Great Wall should also expand its army. ”

Emperor Qin pondered for a moment, then bowed slightly: "This matter is accurate, give Hui'er a decree, let him watch it." ”

Emperor Qin's voice fell, and many people in the court changed their faces. Among them, there are people from the crown prince, people from His Royal Highness, people from King Yue, and naturally, there are people like Pei Shengqin, King Nan'an. The expansion of the Great Wall Guard Army means that the second prince Fu Hui will change from an idle prince who has almost no possibility of inheriting the throne to a prince with a large army. Just imagine, Fu Deng is not a prince, but he can become one of the strong candidates for the throne, because he is a rare person among the younger generation of royal children who has the support of the local army; If the Great Wall Guards expand their army, then Fu Hui will also have a strong local army to support him, plus he is still a prince, once the second prince is involved in the seizure of the heir, I am afraid that it will be a new variable.

In addition to the northern borders, there is also news in the Western Regions, most of the Western Regions protect Lu Guang, and several rebellions have occurred in the Western Regions, all of which have been successfully suppressed. The Persians also invaded the east several times, but they were also blocked back. The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from Beijing, and the news cannot be transmitted in real time, and this letter was written by Lu Guang at the end of the nineteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not sent to Beijing until recently.

In addition, there was also news from Liaodong that the Baekje Kingdom heard that the Jin Dynasty had surrendered its title, so it wanted to accept the Qin Dynasty's canonization, and if the Qin Dynasty agreed, the Baekje Kingdom would pay tribute to the Qin Dynasty from this year. The imperial court did not immediately agree to Baekje's request, not to give face to the Jin Dynasty, but to take into account Goguryeo. Goguryeo and Baekje were enemies, and they fought for many years, so Goguryeo accepted the canonization of the Qin Dynasty, and Baekje accepted the canonization of the Jin Dynasty. Once the imperial court accepts Baekje, then in the future, Goguryeo and Baekje will become Qin ministers, and the two subject states will fight, and the imperial court will not care? How? Rather than making it difficult in the future, it is better to ignore Baekje's request for the first time, and the Great Qin Dynasty will not look down on Baekje's little tribute anyway.

In addition, the locust plague in Youzhou, the college in Liangzhou, and the auspicious rui in Qingzhou, there are many kinds of reports. Some need the imperial court to respond to deal with it, while others just make a notification. In the early dynasties, he only picked up some important thoughts, less than one-tenth of the total number of daily recitals, so you can imagine how huge the daily workload of the Qin Emperor was.

Pei Shengqin shrank in the court, listening to these tedious things, and couldn't help yawning. It wasn't until the ceremonial official sang "The Xuanjin Dynasty delegation is coming" that Pei Shengqin cheered up.

That's right, the highlight of the day is the Jin Dynasty mission that came to present the credentials!

In accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Treaty of Weishui, the King of Jin sent his own letter of state to Daqin to apologize to the Emperor of Daqin.

The Great Qin Dynasty has been waiting for this letter of apology for half a year.

With the melodious music sounding, led by Shi San, Wang Fuzhi, Tao Yuanming, Wang Ningzhi, and Xie Daoyun successively entered the Huangji Palace. Except for Ji Kuang, who was still in prison, the important figures of the Jin Dynasty mission all came.

Except for Xie Daoyun, who was wearing the women's clothes of the Jin Dynasty, the rest of the people were all wearing the court clothes of the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty is still white, happy and luxurious, and its court clothes are generally light white with a light white base and wisps of gold lines. If you just look at the clothes, they are also elegant and elegant, a little lighter than the black and solemn Qin Dynasty court clothes.

It's a pity that the fluffy dog tail on their heads completely ruined the beauty of their clothes. I have to say that the dog-tailed mink is really good, and a good sable cicada crown has to be changed into a dog-tail hat by the people of the Jin Dynasty, but they seem to think it looks good.

"The foreign ministers knock to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and congratulate the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty on Sheng'an."

Shi San took the lead, and the envoys of the Jin Dynasty bowed down one after another, and the dog's tails swayed above their heads, and their attitudes were very respectful.

"Jin envoy, and come forward."

Emperor Qin's majestic voice sounded, but he was moved by curiosity, and he did not immediately mention the national letter, but wanted to take a closer look at the envoys of the Jin Dynasty first.

"No."

The envoys of the Jin Dynasty buried their heads, got up slightly, bowed down, and slowly stepped forward with their hands on their clothes.

When a few people walked to the Dan Majesty, they heard the Dan Majesty, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens: "Raise your head." ”

A few people raised their heads and looked at Emperor Qin, who was sitting on the throne at a high end, but they could only see the dazzling crown in front of Emperor Qin's face.

"Which one is Shi San?"

Hearing Emperor Qin's question, Shi San was verbose and hurriedly said, "Foreign Minister Shi San is here." ”

After a while, I heard Emperor Qin whisper with a little confusion: "Shi Zheng's appearance is a bit like an old man of mine. ”

"Huh? Your Majesty's deceased? Shi San was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Emperor Qin had seen his father, Emperor Zhao, when he was a child......

Shi San suddenly felt a chill in his back, and a chill rushed up from his spine and rushed straight to his brain.
