Chapter 154: Inside the Weiyang Palace
On the second day, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty wore a crown robe and a crown early in the morning, and walked towards Weiyang Palace under the service of a group of eunuchs.
In fact, the emperors in ancient times were very hard, and the education from childhood was continuous, almost everything needed to be learned, and everything needed to be understood. As a result, all kinds of studies since childhood are particularly heavy, and there are almost no happy childhoods.
After growing up and succeeding to the throne, the interval between the early dynasties was also different according to the emperor's own situation. Some of them went to the court once in three or five days, and some went to the court once in ten or so days. Of course, there were also people like Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and others who went to court almost every day.
Generally, the time of the pilgrimage is in Mao, which is equivalent to between 5 and 7 o'clock in the morning. Therefore, whether it is a minister or an emperor, they all get up very early on this day, and the ministers are generally ready to wash up at about four o'clock, and all of them are waiting for the emperor outside the palace before five o'clock.
Of course, in addition to getting up early, the various costumes of ancient emperors and ministers were also particularly troublesome, as illustrated by the emperors of the Han Dynasty. According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, the emperor had to wear a crown and a crown dress when he went to court. The crown is generally 12 and is made of jade. The color of the tiara is predominantly black. On each side of the tiara, there is a hole for interspersing the jade flute to tie it with the bun. And tie ribbons on both sides of the flute and knots under the jaw. On the two ears of the ribbon, there is also a pearl and jade, called "Yun'er". This ear is not inserted into the ear, but is hung next to the ear to remind the wearer not to listen to slander. The phrase "let the ears be deaf" in later generations come from here.
The crown dress is made of black blouse, vermilion bottom, and the upper and lower coats are painted with crests. In addition, there are some accessories such as knee coverings, scarves, and red legs. All of these things add up to make a complete outfit.
By the time Liu Hong arrived at Weiyang Palace, there were already a bunch of ministers waiting outside the palace. With an order, everyone entered Weiyang Palace one after another, everyone looked solemn, and more than a hundred or so people didn't make a sound.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" With Zhao Zhong's duck voice, Liu Hong walked into the hall from the back door of the Yang Palace, and walked up step by step towards the position of the Ninth Five.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Liu Hong walked to the top unhurriedly, listening to the shouts of long live, looking down at the various civil and military generals kneeling below, enjoying this feeling very much.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone got up, according to the usual practice, of course, it was time for Zhao Zhong to go out again.
"Everyone, if you have something to report, you have nothing to retreat!"
As soon as Zhao Zhong finished speaking, Yuan Kui stood up, as the head of the three princes, he would not go to court for more than ten days, and he would definitely accumulate all kinds of things. In fact, it's not just him, but other people's things have also accumulated a lot. Some things can be decided directly, and some things must be reported to the emperor. However, most of the things are concentrated between the three princes and the nine kings and the great general He Jin, because many people are under their command.
"Your Majesty, due to the great drought last year, there has been a famine for many years. Now it is time to farm again, and there is a shortage of grain and seeds in various places, resulting in many riots in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Minister......"
What followed was all kinds of nonsense, everyone thought of a lot of ways, and finally Liu Hong chose a more secure decision. In fact, this kind of thing is not once or twice, because of the drought in recent years, there are a lot of chaotic people and displaced people in various places, and the slightest carelessness in various places will cause a big disaster, so it is not an exaggeration to happen these things.
During this period, Liu Hong saw that Yizhou Mu Han Fu was also standing among them, and nodded his head to say hello. Yizhou Mu Hanfu and other ambassadors of the feudal frontier must have reported to various departments when they entered Beijing, and they were also approved by Liu Hong. Therefore, a large part of the reason why Liu Hongcai arranged to go to the court today is also to be resolute about Han Fu's affairs, otherwise he would have come back for no reason to do something like an important minister. Besides, it is not possible for Yizhou City to leave Han Fu for a long time.
More than two hours passed intermittently, and seeing that everyone was almost done, He Jin rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhao Meng behind him.
Of course, Zhao Meng has his advantages as a right military captain, you must know that He Jin has a lot of capable people, including some military cadet Cao Cao, former military academy captain Yuan Shu, middle military academy captain Yuan Shao, left military academy captain Chun Yuqiong, right military academy captain Zhao Meng, and later military academy captain Bao Xin.
Except for Zhao Meng himself, the others are all famous families, and he can be ranked side by side with these people, which shows that his ability is not small, at least he is perfect in figuring out the thoughts of his boss.
Therefore, many of the things that led to He Jin were done by him. Moreover, a person of He Jin's status can't do everything by himself.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play. Zhang Rang, the regular attendant of the Central Committee, did not think of reporting His Majesty's grace, and took advantage of it in various places, losing his humanity, and officials from all over the country reacted one after another, and he was miserable. ”
Listening to Zhao Meng's words, Liu Hong looked left and right and said, "Is Father okay?" ”
Zhao Zhongyan said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Zhang is not here today, I heard that he occasionally feels cold, and he is recuperating in the palace outside the palace these days. ”
"Oh! Can it be serious? Liu Hong heard Zhao Zhong's words and hurriedly asked.
"It shouldn't be serious, it is estimated that I will return to the palace in half a day."
Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that it was not serious, and said to Zhao Zhong: "You send someone to take a look, if it's okay, come here, since Captain Zhao reacted to this matter, he didn't think it was out of nowhere, and he could confront his father by calling him." ”
Listening to Liu Hong's words, Zhao Zhong responded and walked out towards the side hall.
Zhang Rang couldn't have imagined that he was still meditating in the mansion, waiting for Bai Yang's news, Bai Yang's rebellion had already begun in the court.
"Master Hou, someone has come to the palace, saying that he wants you to return to the palace quickly, Your Majesty is waiting for you in Weiyang Palace!"
Zhang Rang was very surprised when he heard the eunuch's words, why did the emperor suddenly recruit himself into the palace, was there something wrong?
"What did the people say? Isn't there Zhao Zhong? ”
"Master Hou, I heard that it was Zhao Meng who impeached you, saying that you were cunning in various places, and Your Majesty asked you to confront you."
After listening to the other party's words, Zhang Rang said: "Zhao Meng is He Jin's person, why did he impeach me at this time?" I didn't mess with him. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Rang suddenly patted his head and said, "It's broken, is it a matter of Baiyang paper?" Didn't you say some time ago that Bai Yang in Cai Yong's Mansion hadn't seen anyone from He Jin? ”
"I've never seen it! No one knew they would get together. ”
"If you don't succeed enough, you can't do anything. Okay, let's pack up and enter the palace immediately. ”
About half an hour later, Zhang Rang finally entered Weiyang Palace.
Looking at the officials standing on both sides and Liu Hong sitting on a high place, Zhang Rang seemed to be very scared, and trembled and knelt directly on the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has been wronged! Zhao Meng, what evidence does he have to say that the old slave took it by skill? ”
Looking at Zhang Rang's crying in the dark, tears and snot flowed everywhere, and everyone felt cold. If you don't know who you are, you think you've been wronged.
