Chapter 8 The Early Tang Dynasty Meeting
The early meeting of the Tang Dynasty, with the unremitting efforts of His Majesty Li Er, can already be called a veritable morning meeting.
How early is it?
With the rooster crowing, the first rooster crow is around three o'clock in the middle of the night.
All the civil and military officials had to get up immediately, wash up and clean up, and walk from their homes to the Taiji Palace.
His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun do not like extravagance and waste, so no matter how big or small the officials, they are not allowed to take a sedan chair to the court.
Of course, there are exceptions, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. This special case fully proves that His Majesty Li Er treats officials with kindness, but which official needs the old, weak, sick and disabled?
Arrive at the gate of Taiji Palace before and after the queue waiting, of course, this queue waiting is not according to the first to come first order, first according to the left and right of the text, and then according to the official position of the postponement.
When the rooster crows for the second time, our great Majesty Li Er also has to get up, at this time, no matter how warm the bed is and how cold it is outside, it can't stop His Majesty Li Er, who has the world and the people in his heart, from getting up.
According to the palace rules, the rooster crows for the second time, the main gate of the Taiji Palace opens, and the civil and military officials enter the Taiji Palace in an orderly manner.
In order to create a rigorous and solemn atmosphere of the court, during the period of entering the Taiji Palace, it is forbidden to talk to each other, make loud noises, and not to be disheveled, hook shoulders and other phenomena that damage the royal dignity.
The chamberlain on duty will record all those who violate the above regulations, and will give certain punishments depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, and those who are serious may be reported to His Majesty Li Er.
After entering the Taiji Palace, all civil and military officials must sign their own sign-in sheets.
Of course, this signature is simply a checkmark after your name, which is a β sign.
However, don't underestimate this β, the wise His Majesty Li Er stipulates that those who are absent for no reason and those who are late will be severely punished financially.
The measure of punishment is very simple, two words, fine money.
Taking the Kuang Dynasty as an example, a one-third of the month's salary is fined, and a late one-tenth of the month's fine.
If you miss the court three times, sorry, your salary has been deducted, and if you miss the court more than four times, you are even more embarrassed, you have to bring some money from the house to pay the fine.
Chiguoguo's overlord clause, but there is no way, the overlord clause is formulated by people with the spirit of an overlord.
Who would dare not obey?
Who would dare to resist?
No matter how those civil and military officials in the secret gritted their teeth and scolded Huai.
But on the surface, they are as supple as lambs to the slaughter.
Of course, in order to demonstrate the humanized management of His Majesty Li Er, there are important things at home, such as the old man driving a crane to the west, the marriage of his children, the sudden serious illness and so on. You can ask for leave in advance, and the leave matter is represented by Prime Minister Sun Wuji.
After entering the Taiji Palace, the civil and military officials signed their β number, and began to gather towards the place of the meeting, the Taiji Hall.
In the corridor leading to the Taiji Hall, there is the Imperial Forest Army, which will conduct simple safety inspections of civil and military officials who participated in the early dynasty.
It is strictly forbidden to bring flammable and explosive materials and other dangerous goods into the Taiji Hall. There were still not many flammable and explosive materials at that time, and there were more dangerous goods at that time.
Therefore, the swords of the military attachΓ© must be temporarily stored, with one exception. That is the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor.
It was a powerful sword, beyond the damage energy of the sword itself. Whether it was up to the king or down to the seventh-rank sesame official, they would all tremble under the sword light of Shang Fang's sword.
Entering the Taiji Hall, under normal circumstances, His Majesty Li Er was already sitting on the dragon chair.
When all the civil and military officials lined up in order, it was time for the rooster to crow three times.
At this time, the genius outside was just dawning.
However, our lovely civil and military officials are already exerting their strength to eat milk, chanting in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Our Second Majesty Li Er will also politely reply: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." β
Our lovely civil and military officials replied equally politely, "Long live Xie." β
After a while of polite words you came and went.
Get to the point.
"Zhong Aiqing, today I will tell Zhong Aiqing a good news, last night I was so excited because of this good news that I almost couldn't sleep all night."
Li Erzuo sat on the high dragon chair, looked down at His Highness's civil and military officials, and said slowly, his voice still couldn't hide his extreme joy.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Of course, the ministers didn't know where the joy came from.
But what pleased His Majesty the Emperor was certainly not an ordinary trivial matter.
Next is the performance time of His Majesty Li Er.
"Last night, Su Guogong sent good news in an urgent manner for 800 miles, and the salt problem of my Longyou army and the people was solved. The queen and I said last night that according to the temperament of the Duke of Su, there will definitely be a second urgent report today. The reason is that last night's good news only said that someone had offered the method of making salt. β
His Royal Highness Taiji's civil and military officials looked confused, didn't we already have the method of making salt? Isn't it just frying salt and boiling salt by the sea? Is there another way?
Besides, is he reliable? When he marches and fights, he still has three axes to play and innovate the method of salt production? Is it true that all the children in our court are three-year-olds?
"Report ~~ Su Guogong 800 miles urgently."
The Imperial Forest Army at the gate of the court made a suitable report in a very timely manner at the right time and at the right node.
"Quick, bring it to me."
His Majesty Li Er stood up excitedly, if it weren't for the fact that he was above the court and needed to maintain his overlord aura, he would have gone to the door to greet him.
Su Guogong's eight hundred miles of urgency, at the gate of the Taiji Palace, after the relay of countless pairs of civil and military officials, and finally by the supreme governor of Zhongshu Province, Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling carefully opened the secret fold, and respectfully handed it over to His Majesty Li Er.
Li Erma's Majesty took the secret fold and blurted out, "Your Majesty Hongfu, Xiao Langjun, who urgently reported the method of salt making yesterday, has successfully produced refined salt that is a few points better than official salt and green salt today, and now Lanzhou Captain Cheng Chumo has opened up an open-air salt mining field on the river beach, and Xiao Langjun promises to produce 10,000 catties of refined salt per day. β
The quiet needle drop in the Taiji Hall can be heard, which is so shocking and incredible.
What Xiao Lang-kun?
What is better than official salt and green salt?
What river beach salt quarry?
What produces 10,000 catties of salt per day?
What kind of trick is Su Guogong doing? To make His Majesty happy? Or is it to test the IQ of civil and military officials?
But this joke is a bit excessive.
His Majesty Li Er is very satisfied with the performance of the ministers now, they are all good officials who care about the world and the people.
If His Majesty Li Er knew what the ministers were really thinking now, I don't know how to feel?
Will each person kill fifty sticks in a fit of rage, or will each person be fined for a year to show his example?
"Your Majesty, Xiao Langjun's surname is Tao Mingran, he is twenty-eight years old, he was taken into the mountains by his master since he was a child, the master passed away last year, and after a year of filial piety for the master, he went to Chang'an to ask for a living. His Majesty Shengming, Zhijie and the young man met, and deeply felt that this person spoke elegantly and had an extraordinary bearing, and the important thing is that this person has been guided by the master since he was a child, and he must have a peerless genius, which can be seen from the dedication of the method of making salt. β
The more His Majesty Li Er thought about it, the more frightened he became, although Su Guogong was rough on the surface, he was actually a very careful person.
Cheng Zhijie has followed him for so many years, and he has never heard a word in his mouth, even if it is a compliment.
Today he is so abnormal, it seems that the young man named Tao Ran is really not simple.
"Your Majesty Shengming, congratulations for the Longyou army, congratulations for the people of Longyou, and congratulations for the daily output of 10,000 catties of refined salt, and you should reward Tao Gongzi."
His Majesty Li Er read it in one go, and the final ending almost moved him.
"A good one for the Longyou army, for the people of Longyou."
