Chapter 103: The Ge Family's Army Enters Beijing
Li Ji was very tired and tired, and all the burdens of the empire were on him. When Zhu Wen was in power, the entire court system was broken up, King Liang was the sky, and King Liang was the earth. Zhu Wen's words are the holy decree and the holy palace. The soldiers under Zhu Wen were also unscrupulous and were not restrained at all.
After overthrowing Zhu Wen, Li Ji set out to re-establish the imperial system of the Tang Dynasty, and the problem of several generations of emperors being constrained would no longer appear in him. There is no dictatorship of eunuchs, no hostage of vassal kings. Although the territory controlled by the imperial court was not large, the imperial power had been concentrated in the emperor.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs covered the sky with one hand, and even the abolition of the emperor was decided by the eunuchs. Zhu Wen did a good deed, completely ending the eunuch system that had been a disaster in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years.
The performance of the courtiers has become a mountain, as small as the appointment and dismissal of small officials in a department, and as large as the re-establishment of various systems in various departments, all of which need to be personally approved by Li Ji.
Li Ji also began to understand why there were so many emperors in history who were willing to be a faint monarch who didn't care about political affairs, just these recitals could not be reviewed all day long, and a diligent emperor was a necessary condition for being a Ming monarch.
Li Ji slept, he lay down in his clothes in the Ming'an Palace, and reviewed the recitals for two days and two nights in a row, he was too tired. But this kind of tiredness is what he likes, it's all worth it, and even in a dream, Li Ji has a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fuquan sighed, although he didn't have a lot of brains, he wasn't stupid. Seeing the emperor so tired, he couldn't help but feel distressed. At this time, a palace maid outside the hall walked in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
A Qian, the personal palace maid of the Empress Dowager He of Jishan Palace.
"The Queen Mother learned that Her Majesty was working hard day and night on state affairs, and she specially ordered a slave maid to bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Your Majesty." Ah Qian whispered softly and handed over the bird's nest porridge with both hands.
Fuquan looked back at Li Ji: "Your Majesty has already slept, let's put it here first." ”
Ah Qian had no choice but to put the porridge on the table, and Fu Quanmao went to pick it up again. With a 'bang', the bird's nest porridge fell to the ground.
Ah Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale, which was specially prepared for the emperor by the Empress Dowager He. Since capturing Zhu Wen, Empress Dowager He finally breathed a sigh of relief, she never thought that Li Ji would take down King Liang so easily. In addition to being happy, I felt that my son was getting more and more powerful.
Li Ji was startled: "How many days is it?" ”
"Slaves should be damned!" Ah Qian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, Li Ji looked at the situation in front of him, and probably understood what was going on: "It's okay, you can retreat first, Fuquan, what time is it?" ”
Fuquan hurriedly said: "It was the slave who accidentally knocked over the bird's nest porridge, and it has nothing to do with Miss Aqian." ”
Li Ji was furious: "Who the hell asked you about bird's nest porridge, how long has it been?" ”
Next to him, Ah Qian said timidly: "It's almost time." ”
Li Ji was anxious: "Hurry up, prepare a sedan chair, today is the day when Ge Jiajun enters Beijing, why don't you wake me up earlier." ”
Fuquan immediately panicked: "The slave saw that His Majesty was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and didn't dare to disturb it, so I will go and order." ”
Ah Qian bowed and said: "The Queen Mother learned that today is the day when General Ge entered the palace, so she specially ordered the slave maid to prepare a Geng cake to reward General Ge. ”
It turns out that this Empress Dowager He is extremely shrewd, Ge Congzhou is a native of Juancheng, Puzhou, and there is a specialty in his hometown called Geng cake, which is a small and thick persimmon. Empress Dowager He ordered someone to get it and give it to Ge Congzhou.
Don't look at this as just a small persimmon, this shows that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to Ge Congzhou. Empress Dowager He's move was to play the family card in order to win over Ge Congzhou.
How could Li Ji think of these careful thoughts, he nodded: "Then you go with me." ”
A Qian blessed the body, at this time Fuquan had already asked the palace to prepare a sedan chair, and the guard Zhang Mao led people to the palace gate.
At the main gate of the palace, when Li Ji arrived, Ge Congzhou and others had just arrived at the palace gate. According to the rules, a few of them needed to dismount, and everyone handed over the horses to their subordinates, Ge Congzhou saw the palace gate from afar: "Then, that's Your Majesty!" ”
What a privilege it is to have an emperor personally greet him at the palace gate. The emperor's status is extremely noble, and he will never deign to greet his courtiers, unless you have made such a great contribution as saving the country, and the Ge family army deserves this honor.
Ge Congzhou felt flattered, and after running over, he hurriedly bowed down with everyone: "Minister, Ge Congzhou!" ", "Pan Da stunned,", "Guo Nianda,"
"Meet Your Majesty!"
Li Ji helped Ge Congzhou up: "General Ge, please hurry up, I have long been looking forward to General Ge's early arrival in this palace." General Ge has made such great contributions to the Tang Dynasty that he can be called the contemporary Guo Ziyi. Come on, prepare for Hanyuan Palace! ”
The maid of Jishan Palace next to her walked up to Ge Congzhou with a tray, bowed down and said, "General Ge, this is the Geng cake specially prepared for you by the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother knew that this was a specialty of General Ge's hometown, so she sent it to the slaves. ”
Ge Congzhou was shocked, he had been away from home for many years, and what he missed most was the taste of this Geng cake. He hurriedly lifted the yellow silk on the tray, and the persimmons were full of frost one by one, and it was the taste of his hometown.
Ge Congzhou's heart moved, his voice was a little choked, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Minister, thank the Queen Mother for her grace!" ”
And next to him, Pan Da was stunned directly, he was not coveting the Geng cake given by the Queen Mother, but staring directly at Ah Qian, the maid.
Pan Da was stunned as a rough man, he had been fighting on the battlefield since joining the army, and he had never thought about women. This kind of person always thinks that the women in the world are soft and weak, and good men should drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, and it is their duty to go into battle to kill the enemy, and men and women have always scoffed at them.
After seeing Ah Qian, Pan Da was stunned and opened his heart. This kind of coarse person will express the emotion of a fart, and he will only look at it if he likes people.
Ah Qian raised his head and saw a tower-like black man staring straight at him, blushing and lowering his head with a little annoyance. Pan Da was stunned, and still looked at her directly.
Fan Gongbao and Ge Congzhou glanced at each other next to him, and the two smiled. Fan Gongbao patted Pan Da stunned: "Let's go, Your Majesty has summoned us in Hanyuan Palace." ”
Pan Da was stunned and came back to his senses, and touched his head embarrassedly: "I, let's go, let's go together." ”
Li Ji had already returned to the imperial sedan chair, and everyone went to Hanyuan Hall under the leadership of the palace guards.
Li Ji's imperial sedan chair stopped at the side gate of the Hanyuan Palace, where the emperor took the road to the court. Fuquan opened the imperial sedan chair, and Li Ji stepped into the Hanyuan Hall and sat on his dragon chair.
At this time, the ministers at the gate of Hanyuan Hall had been waiting for a long time, "Your Majesty has arrived!" Ministers go to court! With the shouting of a male duck, the ministers rushed in one after another.
Li Ji sat on the dragon chair, the ministers stood on both sides, and Ge Congzhou took several generals of the Ge family army into the hall again to pay respects.
