Chapter 175: Liwei Imperial Court and Revitalization of the Imperial Court
Dahan Weiyang Palace!
When Wang Mang officially stepped into the palace, the rest of the ministers had already taken their places and stood in their positions according to their official positions.
Wang Mang took a look and saw that there were hundreds of people in the field, standing in two rows. On one side are civil officials, and on the other side are military generals, and there is a clear distinction.
In the center of the front of the courtiers, there are three people standing.
These three people are Wang Xiannian, Huo Jianghai, and Wei Gonghan.
They are the first of the three ministers, and they are immeasurable, left and right.
After seeing these three people, Wang Mang began to look at the other ministers.
At this moment, it was already past the end of five o'clock, that is, it exceeded the time of the usual early dynasty.
But Wang Mang was a little late because he had to learn about many palaces on the way.
Emperor Ai of Han began to see that Wang Mang had not yet come, so he did not officially start the early dynasty meeting.
Now sitting on the throne at the top of the main hall, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty saw Wang Mang coming, and immediately glanced at the eunuch.
The eunuch comprehended, and pulled the male duck's voice and said, "The early dynasty has begun..."
As soon as the eunuch spoke, many ministers said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Wang Mang knelt down and sang along, then looked left and right, and found that there were not many ministers kneeling to worship the Son of Heaven, only a few civil officials who basically had no power, and Liu Xin's henchmen knelt down, and his eyes suddenly chilled.
In his opinion, even if Emperor Han Ai is no longer good, he is always the Son of Heaven. In this immeasurable Supreme Weiyang Palace, a courtier is a courtier, and he must make a great gift to the Son of Heaven. Because the Son of Heaven here represents all the people, and Weiyang Palace represents Kyushu.
If the Son of Heaven is not in Weiyang Palace, but in other palaces, or if the ministers want to meet the Son of Heaven here and change the dynasty, then kneel down and bow to the other two.
But as long as the minister has not met with the Son of Heaven and has not begun to implement the change of dynasty, then he has to respect the Son of Heaven in the Weiyang Palace, even if it is a formality.
If the minister does not kneel to worship the Son of Heaven and does not bow down to Weiyang Palace, this is like ignoring the people and Kyushu, which is a great rebellion.
Although he didn't want to bow down to Liu Xin, Liu Xin was here to represent the world and the people, and he had to bow down.
Because in his eyes, the Emperor of Han Ai at this moment is not Emperor Han Ai, but a symbol of all the people, a symbol of Kyushu.
Emperor Han Ai was accustomed to ministers not bowing down to him, and he didn't care about it, but he just secretly tried his courage and accumulated strength.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping."
"Thank you, Your Majesty.," the ministers sang.
The eunuch shouted as usual: "The ministers have something to do early, and they have nothing to do to retreat..."
When Wang Mang heard this, he came out of the crowd from the end, came to the front, and said prostrately: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play." ”
Liu Xin set his eyes on Wang Mang at the beginning, and when he saw that Wang Mang actually gave a big salute to himself at the beginning, his heart warmed a lot slightly.
Now that he saw Wang Mang respecting etiquette so much, he felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly asked: "Wang Aiqing, let's talk first, what do you have to do?" Let's hear it. ”
Wang Mang got up and replied, "The minister has two books to play. First, when the minister first came to the early court, he didn't know the rules, and when he arrived a moment late, he asked His Majesty to punish him. Second, I think that the ministers do not respect the three ways, the six outlines and the nine poles, and ignore the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, which is a great rebellion.
The ministers asked Your Majesty, except for the ministers of the Three Princes who represent all the people, to take down all the other ministers who do not respect etiquette, confiscate their homes, and exterminate the nine clans. ”
"Shhhh
When many ministers heard Wang Mang's words, they were immediately startled. Especially the third duke, he stared at Wang Mang without blinking, and his face was extremely strange.
As for the other ministers, some of them knew Wang Mang, and some did not.
Especially those who didn't know Wang Mang, when they saw Wang Mang so arrogant, they were about to raid his house and behead him, and he was about to exterminate the nine clans, and they were immediately furious.
At that moment, a minister stood up, and he shouted: "Who are you, dare to talk nonsense here and disturb the superplan? ”
Wang Mang said coldly: "I am Wang Mang, who are you, who are you who roared loudly in Weiyang Palace?" What sin should you be guilty of treating the Son of Heaven as nothing? ”
"I am Sun Fuzhao, the head of the household."
This person reported his name without thinking, but then he was immediately stunned, took three steps back, and exclaimed: "You are Wang Mang?" ”
"Hehe, who should I be, it turned out to be the head of the household."
Wang Mang sneered three times, and said to Liu Xin: "Your Majesty, just now the minister paid special attention to the ministers, and found that the person who does not bow down to His Majesty is this household secretary Sun Fuzhao. Moreover, this person dared to despise Weiyang Palace and ignore the majesty of His Majesty. The minister played His Majesty again, took him down, and the martial arts asked to behead, and he would not tolerate it. ”
As soon as Liu Xin heard Wang Mang's words, he immediately became overjoyed, and he was so amazed that he almost exclaimed in surprise.
Regarding the fact that the ministers disregarded the etiquette of the monarchs and ministers, not to mention that ordinary ministers did not dare to stand up and speak, even Feng Yi, the head of the Feng family who relied on Liu Xin behind him, did not dare to say anything, and he did not see it.
Now Wang Mang said it in front of everyone, which immediately made him greatly appreciated.
However, he did not respond to Wang Mang's words, but asked another irrelevant matter, and he had scruples.
"Wang Aiqing, I see that there are many dust holes in your official uniform, what's going on?"
Seeing that Liu Xin did not respond to Wang Mang, Hubu Shangshu immediately became bolder, thinking that Liu Xin didn't dare to do anything to himself, so he shouted violently: "What Your Majesty said is not bad. Wang Mang, as an important minister of the court, you hold great power, but you are not neatly dressed, causing Your Majesty to suffer dust, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
Wang Mang glanced at Sun Fuzhao with contempt, and said to Liu Xin: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a reason why the ministers are not in good clothes. Just after the first Dragon Gate Pass, six Assassins came to assassinate Wei Chen. Weichen was not in a hurry to dodge, the car was overturned, and Chen was almost killed at that time. Fortunately, the soldiers of Longmen desperately rescued him and survived. Of the six Assassins, five have been killed and one has escaped. ”
"I see!"
Liu Xin nodded, "Wang Aiqing, you are frightened by this matter." ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty's concern, Weichen is ashamed." Wang Mang said: "Your Majesty, to get back to business, this Sun Fuzhao does not respect Your Majesty, despises the imperial court, and asks Your Majesty to quickly descend and take him down." ”
"This..."
Liu Xin looked embarrassed and couldn't reply.
He didn't dare to do anything with Sun Fuzhao, because Sun Fuzhao was not from another family, and he happened to be a force belonging to the Wang family now.
Wang Mang saw Liu Xin's embarrassed face, and knew that Liu Xin didn't dare to start, so he spoke again: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, the Lord of the People, benevolence and righteousness are prevalent, and it is inconvenient to worry about the courtiers." Therefore, Wechen is willing to ask His Majesty to issue a decree to hand over this matter to Wechen for handling. ”
Liu Xin glanced at the ministers, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will leave this matter to you to deal with." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Mang laughed three times, and shouted at the gate of Weiyang Palace: "Where are the left and right? ”
In a few hours, the forbidden army guarding the gate immediately rushed in six.
They first saluted Liu Xin, and then asked, "Dare to ask Lord Wang, I don't know what you command?" ”
The Chinese Valentine's Day has arrived, and I wish the book friends from afar a happy relationship, a successful family affair, and a smooth career.
