Chapter Twenty-Eight: I'm Going to Settle
The Yuan Dynasty will meet, and the palace will be brightly lit.
After arriving at the Daxing Palace, Li Yuanjia didn't have the opportunity to greet his colleagues at all, so he hurriedly came to his position according to the guidance - today is different from the past, and the position in the Daxing Hall is different, but it can't be wrong!
If he didn't have an official position, Li Yuanjia should have stood in the last row of the main hall with other clan members, but because of the false title of Yongzhou Mu, his seat became the front, and he was still facing the emperor's right.
In Datang, this is the most noble place in the palace!
The civil officials above the third rank are in the right position in the center, and behind them and on the right, in addition to the officials who go to the court on a daily basis, there are also the grandson of Condelun, who has just been named the Marquis of Xu, the envoys of the states from the east and the south, and the envoys of the eastern and southern countries; And the middle part of the left side is the descendants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Jie Gong and Yu Gong - they may have the opportunity to step into the Daxing Hall today all year round. Then on the left and behind are military attachés of all ranks, envoys from the states of the west and north, envoys from various countries, and so on.
At the end of both sides, it was the members of the Tang clan who pressed the formation!
Li Yuanjia had just stood still for a while, when he heard a cry like singing, and under the gaze of countless civil and military officials and foreign envoys, the emperor was dressed in full costume and was carried in from the west gate by the imperial court, until he sat in the middle of the Daxing Palace, facing south. And Fu Baolang followed closely behind, hurriedly putting the jade seal and other things representing the emperor's identity in front of the throne.
I don't know who shouted, but I heard a loud noise, and everyone began to kneel on the ground and kowtow......
Of course, according to the official explanation, this is not called kowtow, it should be called Jishou. However, in Li Yuanjia's eyes, anyway, everyone is kneeling, and there is a difference between a longer and shorter head on the ground?
And this Yuan-Japan Dynasty will not be endless.
Finally followed the big guys in front of him to finish the ceremony, and before Li Yuanjia could take a breath, he saw that when the dynasty was empty, Sun Wuji, the prince of Qi State, stepped forward and walked to the left corner, knelt down and shouted loudly: "Yuan Zheng Shouzuo, Jingfu is new, and His Majesty the Emperor Fu Wei is resting with the sky." ”
"Boom la la ......"
"Holy! Still coming?! ”
Seeing that everyone was lying down and kowtowing in an uproar, Li Yuanjia suddenly rolled his eyes, and scolded in his heart while also lying down.
Come down again, the new waiter...... That is, Yang Shidao, one of the prime ministers, walked to the left front of Li Shimin and shouted: "There is a system!" ”
"!"
Hearing this, there was no need to wait to see what the other bigwigs did, Li Yuanjia consciously began to lie on the ground - basically, the meaning of the system is "the emperor's edict" or "the emperor's system", anyway, it must be lying down and dripping!
"The celebration of the new appointment is the same as the public."
After listening to today's master of ceremonies Yang Shidao's words, he finally understood: Sun Wuji, the head of the hundred officials, sent a congratulatory message to the emperor just now, probably on behalf of everyone, to say a happy new year to Li Shimin, Wishing you prosperity, and rest with the sky; Then Yang Shidao stood in front of the emperor's words, which means that everyone will be happy and happy, and everyone will get rich together......
In a word, fuck it up!
However, the irritability was soon alleviated a lot because of the next link.
The next link is what Li Yuanjia is most interested in, that is, the time for the states and vassal states to give gifts.
Although Datang is still relatively poor in these years, the things sent are nothing more than some treasures, native products or auspicious things, but after all, it is the Yuan-Ri Dynasty Meeting, after all, it is the display of the treasures of the entire Datang Dynasty in one day, so Li Yuanjia naturally wants to give twelve points of attention!
Merely......
"I'll go, this is also called Xiangrui?"
When Li Yuanjia saw that Suzhou had two trees brought up at this time, he almost couldn't help but snort - the small tree in front of him that these two branches are connected together, isn't it Lianlimu? It is a natural phenomenon in which the branches of two trees are connected and live together............ Is this thing auspicious?
As a result, if you listen carefully, this thing is really auspicious!
Datang's auspicious rui is still divided into grades, there are Da Rui, upper, middle and lower Rui, although it is only the lowest lower Rui, but after all, it is also auspicious, if the local officials know and do not report it, they will be punished!
"Sizzle......"
After hearing it clearly, Li Yuanjia suddenly gasped, and then his mind spun rapidly: "If you want to say that, do you want to talk to Lingkui when you go back, and let him get him ten or eight auspicious rui every year?" Isn't this just grafting?! ”
Just when Li Yuanjia was laughing in his heart, a piece of auspicious rui filled the hall, and then there were the tributes paid by the vassal states this year. Then when he saw Gao Changguo's tribute, Li Yuanjia's eyes lit up suddenly, and his heart suddenly pounded......
……
After the auspicious rui and tributes were put out, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu jumped out first, saying that the tributes from all over the country should be included in the Ministry of Civil Affairs; Then there was Wang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who trembled and said that the tribute of the vassal states was theirs. Then as Li Shimin nodded, Yang Shidao said, "You can make it", and the people who brought these things in just now moved them out again.
Seeing that thing being moved, Li Yuanjia's heart rolled away.
Wang Jue?
This old man Li Yuanjia still knows, one of the four famous ministers in the early Tang Dynasty, who served as a servant before, and is now a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. Li Yuanjia's history is average, and his understanding of him is average, but until now he still remembers a matter of this big guy - when Li Shimin's daughter married his son, it was the etiquette for Wang Qi to let the princess of the family enter the door to meet her in-laws, and from then on, the princess would have to salute her in-laws when she got married......
"The problem is, I don't know this old man well!"
Seeing that thing being moved out of the palace gate, Li Yuanjia swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently, and his heart began to be a little anxious.
He had been looking for this thing for several years, and he found a few living ones, but they all died because of the poor service of the people below. Now that he sees Gao Changguo paying tribute, and it seems that the number is not very small, how can he not be anxious? At that moment, I had the idea of going to the Ministry of Rites in two days to talk to the old man Wang Qi.
It's just that Wang Qi is a big man in the dynasty, why will he definitely give him face? Just because he's a prince?
And......
This is a tribute from a vassal state, can you easily give it to yourself?
Or......
Biting his lip, Li Yuanjia thought anxiously: "Why don't you find my father-in-law and ask him to help introduce him?" Anyway, they are all officials in the same hall, and they are all prime minister-level bosses, so they should have some friendships......"
Li Yuanjia pondered here, but today's court meeting has come to an end.
As the current attendant Yang Shidao announced the completion of the ceremony, Li Shimin stepped down from the throne, and the upper imperial public opinion was carried out from the east gate, and the people on the Daxing Hall also began to evacuate. As a state of etiquette, it was the envoys of the vassal states who left first, and the moment watching the envoys of Gao Changguo walk out of the door of the main hall, Li Yuanjia finally made up his mind: "No matter what, this thing ...... I'm going to decide! ”
