Chapter 166: Boiling Girders
"PS: This chapter makes up for yesterday's daily second update, I'm sorry, I went out yesterday and had some trouble."
ββββ the following textββββ
At the end of December, it is the time to enter the end of the year, even if it is as strict as the Great Wei court, it will be temporarily closed from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, and this precious fifteenth day is the only day of rest for Wei Tianzi and the court officials in a year.
However, the good news sent from the front line to Daliang one after another was delivered to the DPRK and China before the end of the year, making this year's Spring Festival even more celebratory.
On the morning of December 30, the last court meeting at the end of the sixteenth year of Hong De.
It can be seen that this court meeting seems to be a little special.
Because some sharp-eyed ministers were surprised to see the four princes of the East Palace, Hongli, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, and Qingwang Hongxin, who had already left the cabinet, as well as the Seven Princes Hongyin and the Ninth Emperor Hongxuan, who had not yet been out of the cabinet.
In addition to Yan Wang Hongjiang is still in Nanyan, Rui Wang Hongzhao went to Qi as a hostage, and Su Wang Hongrun is still fighting in Chu State, the nine sons under Wei Tianzi's knees, who are still in Jingshi Daliang, were all summoned to the court meeting and went to the court together.
The six princes gathered together, as if such a revival of the people, so that the ministers of the court and the central government who were waiting for the early dynasty outside the Daqing Hall had a private discussion: It seems that something big has happened.
"The hour has come, and the courtiers will enter the palace."
With the sound of a palace eunuch with a sharp voice, the ministers of the court stopped talking and followed behind the six princes, pouring into the main hall of the Daqing Palace, the Xuanzheng Hall.
The princes were naturally at the top of the list, and the courtiers were second.
During this period, some imperial courts were surprised to find that Lin Yuyang, the middle book of the Vertical Arch Palace, and Yu Ziqi, the left of the middle book, also rarely came to the court today.
"Why are these two here too?" These two are not courtiers."
The courtiers looked at each other.
You must know that although the Great Wei Dynasty system has long since canceled the "prime minister system". The system of three provinces and six ministries is adopted, but the Zhongshu Province among the three provinces, because of its special status, is often called Yaxiang in private. Don't look at Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, these two are not palace ministers, and it stands to reason that they are not qualified to participate in the court meeting, but the government and the opposition are up and down. But no one dares to underestimate or offend these two, after all, some of the proposals of the six parts have to go through the hands of these two people in the Zhongshu Province in the end, if they offend these two, the latter will make the above books and chapters not meet the specifications of this kind of egg picky excuse ordered to return to the ministries to redraft, I believe that even if it is the six books, it will have to be dizzy.
"First the princes, and then the two lords of Zhongshu Province...... It seems that today's court meeting will be very lively.'"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu You touched the goat-like long beard on his chin, and looked at the few people who had been very rare in the court meeting in the past.
Because he is the relationship between the Ministry of Rites and the Shoshu. Therefore, he learned some of the latest news through some special channels long before the rest of the courtiers.
"Strange? What about Lord Li? β
After waiting for the courtiers to enter the palace, some of the courtiers were surprised to find that Li Man, the secretary of the military department, had not arrived for a long time, which was a bit rare.
However, after a closer look, they were even more puzzled, because not only Li Yan, the secretary of the military department, did not come to the court meeting. Even the left and right attendants of his military department did not come, so that the entire hall was in. There was not a single officer of the Ministry of War.
"Lord Du, Lord Du?"
Zhou Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked Sheyou in a low voice: "Why is the Ministry of War absent at today's court meeting?" Do you have any news over there? Isn't there something big going on? β
Hearing this, She You smiled mysteriously, stretched out a finger to his mouth, and whispered: "Lord Zhou, don't be surprised, something big did happen today." However, it is not a bad thing. β¦β¦ Calm down. β
"......" Zhou Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at his colleague in disbelief and nodded hesitantly.
Not long after, Tong Xian, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, took the lead in entering the hall, standing at the door of the hall and shouting at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty has arrived." Greetings to all the ministers. β
Hearing this, everyone in the hall bowed to the ground one after another, and at this time, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, walked in from outside the hall.
Seeing his red face and light steps, it was obvious that his heart was happy, as if he were a few years younger.
"Zhongqing is flat."
After sitting on the dragon chair, Wei Tianzi raised his hand and signaled.
Seeing this, everyone in the hall got up one after another.
At this time, there was still a vacancy in the palace for the military department and the left and right attendants, but the strange thing was that Wei Tianzi turned a blind eye to the vacant seats of the three people.
"Something to do early." Tong Xian shouted again with a sharp voice.
As mentioned above, in fact, it seems that this kind of court meeting is a routine matter, and what is talked about is nothing more than some trivial matters, or the contradictions caused by the mutual coverage of various functions and powers of the officials of the six ministries, and they are pulling each other, and there is almost nothing important, after all, the real important matters, the six ministries have already dealt with them by themselves, otherwise they are all waiting for the Son of Heaven to decide, I believe that the entire Great Wei has long been in chaos.
Of course, sometimes there are special cases. For example, if it is inconvenient to write on the chapter fold, or if you are worried that someone else will cut off the chapter fold, some courtiers will also suddenly propose a surprise attack in the court meeting, but in most cases this is to impeach a very powerful minister or member of the royal family.
But if there is no above-mentioned impeachment of officials, then the court meeting is purely a formality and a continuation of the ancestral system of the Great Wei.
But then again, even if it is a formality, it will also provoke the impeachment of the imperial historian by ignoring the ancestral system of the Great Wei Dynasty and the left and right attendants of the military department and absences from the court meeting.
But the strange thing is that the absence of the officials of the Ministry of War, not only did the Son of Heaven turn a blind eye, but even Su Geng, the "Imperial History of the Palace", also turned a blind eye, which is a bit unbelievable.
Just when the courtiers were secretly speculating, they suddenly heard an old but loud shout from outside the hall: "Minister Li Man, there is something important to present to Your Majesty." β
"Huh?"
The courtiers looked at each other, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the palace gate, but saw that Li Man, the secretary of the military department, led two left and right attendants and eight Lang officials, a group of eleven people walked into the hall neatly and solemnly, standing in the center of the hall and bowing to Wei Tianzi.
"What is this Li Lao'er doing? Such a stirring up of the people......
The ministers in the palace were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask rashly, so they had to close their mouths and watch quietly.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping. β¦β¦ I wonder what you have to offer me? Wei Tianzi pretended to be calm and asked, but in fact. The uncontrollable smile in his eyes had already betrayed him.
Seeing this, Li Man, the secretary of the military department, turned his head and glanced at it, and immediately, a Lang official stepped forward and took out a copy of the document from his arms. Read aloud: "On November 26, the sixteenth year of Hongde, Zhao Zhun, the former commander of Linying County, led two thousand Anling Weirong to successfully recover Linying...... Congratulations, congratulations to my Great Wei country! β
"Good!" Wei Tianzi stroked his palms and praised, but there was only joy but no surprise in his eyes, thinking that he had already known about it.
As soon as the words fell, another officer of the military department stepped forward and took out the Huai Chinese Jane. Read aloud: "On November 27, the sixteenth year of Hongde, Xu Youzhi, the former commander of Xihua County, recruited thousands of county brave people in Anling to successfully recover Xiping...... Congratulations, congratulations to my Great Wei country! β
"Good!" Wei Tianzi clapped his hands again and said approvingly.
"...... on November 29, 16th year of Hongde"
"The first day of December in the sixteenth year of Hongde......"
"The third day of December in the sixteenth year of Hongde......"
As the officers of the military department read out the good news in the text one after another, the ministers of the DPRK and China couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Although they had already known from their own channels that the fallen cities of Great Wei had already been recovered one after another. But this is the first time they have heard of such a formal affirmation.
"It seems that His Majesty has suppressed those good news. I'm ready to wait for a "surprise" ......
In addition to the sudden enlightenment, the ministers of the court and the central government all watched the performances of those military officials with smiles, and in order to cater to the preferences of the Son of Heaven, they also deliberately pretended to be unaware, and congratulated them in amazement.
By the time the eight military officials finished reading the text in their hands, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became a little tense. Because up to now, all the cities that fell in the past of the Great Wei have been recovered, but the Shangshu and the left and right attendants of the military department are still standing in place.
The courtiers didn't believe that these three adults were purely here for decoration this time.
"Is there more exciting news than the reconquest of a lost city?"
The courtiers looked at the three ministers with blank eyes.
In full view. Wang Can, the right attendant of the military department, finally took a step forward, compared the text in his hand, and read aloud: "On the ninth day of the first month of November in the sixteenth year of Hongde, King Hongrun of Su ambushed his troops in Mushan and defeated the 60,000 troops under the command of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng......"
"Huh? Didn't this good news arrive last month?'
The courtiers were slightly stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed in their hearts: Could it be that the old things are being brought up again?
But at this moment, he saw Wang Can, the right attendant of the military department, continuing to read: "...... On the same day, King Hongrun surrendered to more than 50,000 Chu soldiers, rectified and reorganized, and was known as the "Pingxuan Army". The next day, King Su Hongrun led 25,000 Jun Shui Army, more than 50,000 Ping Xuan Army, and 10,000 Yan Ling Army, a total of more than 85,000 troops, to attack Chu! β
"Attack ...... Attack Chu?!'
The courtiers in the hall were so shocked that they almost stared out their eyes.
Before they could sort out their thoughts, Xu Guan, the left attendant of the military department, also immediately read: "On November 19, the sixteenth year of Hongde, Xu Yin, the general of Fen Shensai, responded to the initiative of King Su Hongrun to counterattack the Chu State, raised troops in Fen Chengsai, led an army of 15,000, and also waved his army to attack Chu, and defeated the army of Xiong Qi, the king of Chu Miyang, in the area of Xianghe and Chunshui, captured Xiong Qi alive, and conquered Miyang two days later! β
"Hiss......" The ministers in the hall gasped in surprise when they heard this.
You must know that Miyang, that has never been the land of their Great Wei.
After waiting for the two left and right attendants to finish reading, Li Man, the secretary of the military department, also took a step forward, and after sighing secretly, he took a breath and read aloud: "From November 12 to the beginning of December in the sixteenth year of Hongde, King Su Hongrun led 25,000 Junshui troops, 10,000 Yanling troops, and more than 50,000 Pingxuan troops to conquer Shangcai, Suiping, Runan, Pingyu, Xiangcheng, Chenxian, Queshan, Xincai, and Zhengyang, and forced down Peng's, Lu's, Zhangbo's, Ziche's, Hua's and other five big clan cities, a total of 18 large and small cities. More than 5,000 carts of gold, silver, pearls, jade and other materials were seized, and rice and grain were seized and piled up into mounds......"
In the hall, Li Man, the secretary of the military department, was still continuing, but the ministers in the hall had already listened to it dumbfounded.
His Royal Highness King Su, who was only fourteen years old, actually captured a territory much larger than Yingshui North County of Great Wei in Chudi.
ββ¦β¦β
All the courtiers in the hall turned their heads to look in the direction of the dragon chair, and looked at the Great Wei Tianzi who was smiling from ear to ear speechlessly.
"Mother! It's all about showing off your son's exploits...... )
