XV. Morning Meeting
Songzhou Jiedu made Kang Fu arrive in Jinyang at the call of the imperial court, and he was still very nervous and apprehensive in his heart.
He was Li Siyuan's favorite minister, and did not have much credit, because of the contradiction between him and An Chongzhi, he was sent to Xuzhou as a festival envoy, and then transferred to Songzhou.
Now that Li Siyuan is dead and the Son of Heaven has returned to the court, he is afraid that Li Qi will settle old accounts with him.
Kang Fu was favored by Li Siyuan because he was born in Shatuo, and it was rare for him to be able to speak fluent Shatuo. Since the Jin King Li Keyong possessed Hedong, the generation of Shatuo and Zhaowu soldiers who first followed Emperor Wu to fight have almost all died, and the rest belong to the second and third generations, and the Jin army is dominated by Han people, these Shatuo and Zhaowu descendants have basically been sinicized, and few can speak Shatuo dialect.
Li Siyuan was already over sixty years old when he was in charge of the country, and he was very nostalgic, because Kang Fu could speak Shatuo dialect, and almost every time he dispersed the dynasty, he would summon Kang Fu into the palace, and the two of them used Shatuo dialect to talk about the past in Hedong and the old things of those soldiers and generals who followed Emperor Wu to raise troops, and often made Li Siyuan cry.
Because Kang Fu was very favored by Li Siyuan at that time, he didn't take An Chongzhi who was in power very seriously, which caused An Chongzhi to be extremely hostile to him.
Once An Chongzhi found a stubble, he pointed at his nose and scolded: "Kangfu, although you talk nonsense in front of the prison state, and tease my generation, be careful that I kill you one day!" ”
Kang Fu felt very frightened after hearing this, and hurriedly went to the court to beg Li Siyuan to let him out to be an official, so as not to be harmed by An Chongzhi.
An Chongzhi originally planned to get Kangfu to the river and put it under Li Qi's nose, but who knew that the prepared edict had not yet been issued, and the river was occupied by the northern army, so he had no choice but to let him be reappointed as the deputy envoy of Xu Sijiedu.
After receiving the edict ordering him to enter Beijing, Kang Fu couldn't help but be worried, could it be that the Son of Heaven wanted to cure him?
After arriving in Jinyang, Kang Fu was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and when he went to the Privy Council of Jinyang Palace the next day, nothing happened, which couldn't help but make him breathe a little relieved.
At this moment, Kang Fu was summoned, and like other ministers, he stood on the square outside Zhengyangmen and waited for the Son of Heaven to ascend to the court. He didn't have many acquaintances in Jinyang, and he stood in a corner for a long time, and no one spoke to him.
At this moment, a voice from the Central Plains sounded behind him, "General Kang, don't come unharmed!" ”
As soon as Kang Fu turned around, he saw that it was Meng Hanqiong who came over.
Meng Hanqiong was originally a small chamberlain beside Wang Rong of Zhao, and when Li Siyuan was appointed as the envoy of the Chengde Army, he was received by his side in Zhenzhou, and he was also very trusted. Li Siyuan entered Luoyang, and Meng Hanqiong's market was also rising, and he was in charge of Da Nei. However, Meng Hanqiong is flexible, although he is very strict with Li Jiliang, the puppet little emperor, he is not lazy in ordinary life, and he is also polite and polite when he sees Li Jisong and Li Jiliang's brothers.
This time to pacify Luoyang, Meng Hanqiong can be regarded as a great achievement, although there is no reward, but it has not been cleaned up, and he is still serving as an envoy of Xuanhui.
It's just that on Jinyang's side, the Xuanhui envoy is a minister of the outer court and does not control the inner court, so Meng Hanqiong, the internal supervisor, is also mixed with the courtiers and goes to the court as usual.
Kang Fu knew Meng Hanqiong very well, and knew that this eunuch was bold and righteous on the surface, but in fact, he was cunning and changeable in his heart, and he was ruthless, so when he saw Meng Hanqiong walking towards him with a smile on his face, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Meng Xuan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Yes, since General Kang moved to Songzhou, we haven't seen each other for more than a year! Seeing that the general is a little worried now, could it be that he is worried about the past? Meng Hanqiong looked at Kang Fu with a smile and said.
"What, what does Meng Xuanenvoy seem to know? If you can tell us, thank you very much. Kang Fu said with his fists clenched.
Meng Hanqiong smiled and said, "If General Kang is worried that the Son of Heaven will settle old scores, just rest assured, maybe there will be something good this time." ”
After he said this, he waited for Kang Fu to ask again, but he shook his head and refused to say more.
It turned out that the emperor showed his diligence, and the early dynasties all started in Mao, and the sky was still dark and gurgling in winter, but Jinyang, the son of heaven, directly changed the time of the early dynasty to two quarters (nine o'clock in the morning), which was also very capricious. Some courtiers took the "Book of Rites" to admonish, but he said that the dawn of the morning court, the courtiers have not yet woken up, this confusion to agree on the world's major events, no wonder since the previous dynasties, there have been many faint tricks.
As the morning sun began to rise, the bell outside the Qianyuan Hall began to ring, and an internal supervisor on duty came out and preached loudly: "The hour has come, ascend to the dynasty!" ”
More than 200 courtiers waiting in the square sorted out their clothes and crowns, lined up in four long columns according to the rank of the train, led by Prime Minister Ren Yuan, Privy Envoy Yuan Xingqin, Zhongmen Envoy Zhang Xian, and Tuntian Ling Lu Yan, and entered the magnificent Qianyuan Hall in turn.
Kang Fu is the first time to participate in the court meeting of the Northern Dynasty, and his class order is under Zhang Xian, the envoy of the Central Gate, but the rank is not low, and on his side is Lu Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is regarded as an important minister in the court. It's just that what he didn't expect was that in addition to the prime minister's usual seats in the main hall, all the officials participating in the court meeting had seats in the main hall, which was a novelty.
Of course, except for the four Zaisuke who have separate seats, the seats of the rest of the courtiers are connected to one bench, which can also make some differences.
The four teams of officials walked into the Qianyuan Palace, their names were pasted on their seats, and they returned to their places. The privy envoy Yuan Xingqin and Tuntian Ling Lu Yan were still chatting after taking their seats, and it seemed that the relationship was good. And here, Ren Yuan and Zhang Xian sat down but didn't say a word, and Ren Yuan closed his eyes and didn't hide the contradiction between the two at all.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
The young eunuch in the hall standing on the side of the imperial staircase shouted, and the Qianyuan Hall was quiet for a while, and a group of officials got up and stood in place, and the hall seemed quiet.
A bell rang, and eight inner guards and thirty-six guards with swords entered in two columns, standing on either side of the imperial staircase. Then the Son of Heaven wore a bright yellow brocade robe, an embroidered dragon mink fur, and a tubular fur hat, and Li Qi, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, walked into the main hall. Behind him, Zhang Shu, the eunuch of the inner court, was on his side, but the whole set of honor guards was very simple, and there was no palace lady team holding the screen fan and Luo Gai behind.
The emperor sat down on the royal couch above the imperial steps, looked up and glanced at the hall, and a group of courtiers bowed down together under the leadership of the prime minister and said: "I wish my emperor a prosperous country, a long life and eternal health!" ”
It's a slightly fresher word, but it's just a rarity.
Li Qi bowed his head slightly: "Everyone loves Qing's body!" ”
"Your Majesty has a will, and all officials will return to their positions!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The courtiers also sat down after the prime minister sat down.
In the Tang Dynasty, the routine court meeting every seven days can be regarded as the official beginning......
