Chapter 466: Shang Dynasty
After the evening drum and morning bell, the crisp sound of gold and iron resounded three times, the door of the vertical arch hall opened, and the eunuch on duty announced the sound of the court, and the hundred officials were led by the deacons, and the fish penetrated into the main hall.
Wu Zhi, who was at the bottom of the official ranks, rubbed his ears, Qin Tianjian was built next to the palace, and the leather drums and copper bells that were beaten every day sounded very moderate to the people, and even had a feeling of being far away, but for the palace, the sound was inevitably too loud.
The old Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty royal family has been able to endure this voice for nearly a hundred years, even in the most extravagant generation of Song Huizong, it has not changed, but it is rare.
Looking at Zhu Mian, who was also at the end of the line on the left row, but was arrogant, Wu Zhi secretly snorted, he was really angry when Zhu Mian exposed his old bottom in public just now, and what made Wu Zhi even more embarrassed was that among the many officials around, except for Song Cheng, no one helped him, and they were all watching their own jokes.
- This is no foundation!
Wu Zhi knew that the foundation was slowly cultivated, and he couldn't be in a hurry, anyway, although he couldn't speak in the government now, he could participate in the government every day, so he could watch and learn the way first.
As for Zhu Mian's ridicule and exclusion in the future, let's be patient for the time being, every account, Wu Zhi will secretly write it down for him.
…………
The main hall is very tall and spacious, with a tightly knit marble floor with carved beams and two rows of pillars on each side of the main hall.
The pillar is about one person hugging so thick, at first glance it is impossible to see what material the pillar is, it seems to be gold not gold, like jade not jade, the crystal red giant pillar, each pillar is plated with the relief of the golden dragon, it looks magnificent, mighty but elegant.
After the officials were listed, Zhao Ji walked out of the side hall in front, he was followed by a eunuch, it was Li Yan, followed by the emperor's guard of honor, two richly dressed palace maids holding two screen fans, and two teams of palace maids and eunuchs holding various gold and silver utensils and jade ruyi and other objects.
The dragon chair is a wooden chair painted with gold paint, except for a wider one, which is carved with a golden dragon, it is actually no different from the Taishi chair, and what makes Wu Zhi secretly admire is that the position of the dragon chair is not as far away and high as in the Forbidden City in later generations.
It was very close to the officials, and there were only three steps, and Cai Jing at the front only needed to take two steps forward to touch Zhao Ji.
It is no wonder that in the history of the Song Dynasty, there are often officials arguing with the emperor in the court, so as to spray the emperor's saliva, Bao Zheng is just one of them, after Wu Zhi came to this era, he also heard some anecdotes of famous ministers in the former dynasty, Bao Zheng sprayed the emperor's saliva is just a piece of cake.
The most bullish is Tang Jie, the imperial history boss of the same era as Bao Zheng, and the emperor disagreed because of political affairs, not only the emperor spitted on his face, but when the emperor said that he was going to get up and leave, Donald stepped directly on the imperial steps, grabbed the emperor, and forced the emperor to make a decision, otherwise he was not allowed to go!
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi smiled to himself, if the position of the dragon chair in this hall is cultivated a little higher, and it is a little farther away from the courtiers, it will form a psychological coercion, with that kind of coercion, no matter how violent the courtiers are, they will not dare to drag His Majesty the Emperor at every turn.
After Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, the hundred officials in the hall bowed to Zhao Ji with their brushes and boards.
"Your Majesty!"
just greeted the emperor painlessly, and bowed slightly by the way.
"Excuse me."
The officials stood up straight, and the next thing was the official court meeting, and if there was something to do, they were naturally waiting for the start, and if they had nothing to do, they would look at their noses and noses, and they would prick up their ears to wait.
Wu Zhi half-closed his eyes, there were already officials in the court to report the matter, he is only the dean of the academy now, he is not qualified to participate in the court deliberations at all, he can only listen quietly and learn.
Although it is not as comfortable as standing and sitting, but this is ancient after all, it is not bad not to kneel, if it is in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wuzhi cannot be so sure, whether there is anything about him or not, he has to tense his nerves, because in the court of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor was angry and happy, and the hundred officials immediately knelt neatly, and shouted the slogan of unity.
For example, "Long live my emperor" and "The emperor is angry" and the like......
…………
Today's court meeting is all about trivial matters, there is nothing to discuss, and soon everyone will disband, and after the meeting, Wu Zhi naturally stayed and followed Zhao Ji's side.
The painting theories that Wu Zhi taught Zhao Ji yesterday, Zhao Ji studied for a night, but there are still a lot of puzzles, so Wu Zhi taught Zhao Ji some sketching knowledge today.
This is the job of Wu Zhi, the dean of the Hanlin Painting Academy, and to put it bluntly, he is the playmate of the emperor's private interests.
Fortunately, Wu Zhi not only has no psychological pressure on Zhao Ji, but also thanks to the cultivation of later films and TV series, no matter what topic Zhao Ji talks about, Wu Zhi can say that he is ugly, and there are many words and opinions that make Zhao Ji shoot the case, so he is happy with Zhao Ji, and Wu Zhi gradually found his own position and began to adapt.
In the Imperial Garden, it was still in the gazebo from yesterday.
After studying for a few hours, Zhao Ji has entered the door of sketching.
"Okay, you're new to the school, and you haven't been to the Hanlin Painting Academy, have you? I won't keep you any longer. Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi with a very satisfied look, "Li Yan, you take Wu Zhi to the Hanlin Painting Academy!" ”
"Yes."
Li Yan responded, and Wu Zhi also bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will retire." ”
After speaking, Wu Zhi retreated with Li Yan.
"Dean Wu, please."
Arriving at the gate of the Imperial Garden, Li stopped, politely saluted Wu Zhi, and motioned for Wu Zhi to go ahead.
"Please."
Wu Zhi stepped forward slightly, getting closer to Li Yan, but did not overtake him.
Li Yan smiled, and walked with Wu Zhi in the direction of the Hanlin Painting Academy.
Since yesterday after seeing Wu Zhi's profound sycophant skills, Li Yan is now sincere and polite to Wu Zhi, and wants to make friends, he has served Zhao Ji for nearly 20 years, and naturally knows Zhao Ji's character clearly, he knows that Zhao Ji really likes Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi will definitely develop after gaining a foothold in Bianjing in the future, and it will definitely not be wrong to build a good relationship now.
Moreover, Li Yan has been to Qingzhou, and he is also good with Wu Zhi in Qingzhou, with this level of friendship, he feels that he has a lot to do with Wu Zhi now, and judging from Wu Zhi's current response to his overtures, this is indeed the case.
"In the future, it is inevitable that I will say good things for Wu Zhi in front of the official family." Li Yan secretly thought in his heart that he had already regarded Wu Zhi as his own.
"I will inevitably collapse you in the future!" This is what Wu Zhi secretly calculated after he approached Li Yan.
