Volume 10 Ruling the Country with an Iron Fist Chapter 391 The First Day of the Dynasty

Before dawn the next day, the fog in the night had gradually dissipated, leaving a layer of dew converted from the fog on the white walls and red tiles of the Daming Palace, but the fog was still like a transparent light veil shrouded in the lakeside and green trees. uctxt

On the path leading to the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Guanghui rushed forward anxiously with more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, last night was the first night of the new emperor in Daming Palace, they made a big mistake, no one knew where the emperor was resting, and he couldn't see it everywhere, or the little eunuch An Zhongshun was clever, reminding everyone that the emperor would not return to the Linde Palace, and he took back dozens of books last night.

Zhu Guanghui remembered that the lights in the Qinzheng Palace were blown out by himself, and he accompanied the emperor back to the palace, how could he go back again? But with a glimmer of hope, Zhu Guanghui rushed back to the Lin De Palace.

Sure enough, I saw that the window of the room was open, but it was closed before he left, was it really inside? Zhu Guanghui walked into the gate in a hurry, and suddenly, a guard stopped him, "Shhhhhhh The emperor is asleep, it is not yet an hour, don't disturb him. ”

Zhu Guanghui nodded, lowered his voice and said, "There is a meeting in the political hall this morning, and the time for the last dynasty is almost up." ”

The guards withdrew to both sides, letting Zhu Guanghui enter, he walked quickly to the room, the living room had already left, the door of the room was hidden, Zhu Guanghui pushed the door lightly, but he was stunned, the lights in the room had been extinguished, the incense was burned, a stack of high folds was piled up like a hill, the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty was lying on the table and fell asleep, covered with a battle robe, it is estimated that his own soldiers covered him, in front of him a fold is still flipping, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, and it was dirty.

Zhu Guanghui suddenly felt a sour nose, he has been in the Daming Palace for thirty years, he has served several emperors, whether it is Xuanzong or Suzong, he has never reviewed the folds all night, but what makes Zhu Guanghui feel sad is not Zhang Huan's diligence. Instead, he experienced the indescribable loneliness in Zhang Huan's heart.

"Your Majesty!" stepped forward and gently pushed Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan woke up suddenly, and he was stunned for a while. Suddenly, he asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it's the right moment."

"Ahh Zhang Huan jumped up suddenly, there was still a quarter of an hour before the time of the court, it was too late, he hurriedly put on his shoes, and complained: "Why didn't you call me earlier, did I have to violate the rules of the land on the first day." ”

Zhu Guanghui had a bitter face and didn't dare to say a word. Today is the next day, everything is a mess, how can he think about everything, he hurriedly ordered someone to go out to wash his face, and stepped forward to sort out Zhang Huan's clothes, he saw a few palace maids standing at the door in a daze, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't hurry up and comb Your Majesty's hair!" ”

Several palace maids answered. UCTXT frantically searched for a comb. Zhang Huan stopped them. "It's too late. Let people go to open the imperial room first. Prepare two more counts for me

That's it. On the first day, go to court. His clothes were not changed, and his hair was not combed. I hurriedly washed my face. Zhang Huan got on the dragon chariot and went to Zichen Pavilion. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Zhu Guanghui. Today, you must bring your wife and children into the palace.

Zhang Huan's imperial room is in the Zichen Pavilion. It's next door to Cui Xiaofu's premises. It's all re-enacted. As early as the beginning of the year, Zhang Huan began to prepare when he was in charge of the country. The room was spacious and bright. You can see the palace in the distance. It's two o'clock. When the bell of the bell tower of Hanyuan Hall rang far away. Zhang Huan appeared at the door of the imperial house on time.

"Minister Dongfang Yun see Your Majesty!" Earlier than Zhang Huan, he was the living man Dongfang Yun. He smiled the same way he had last night. He bowed to Zhang Huan very seriously.

"Aiqing has worked hard." Even though I hated this guy so much last night. But Zhang Huan still admires his dedication very much. I can't help but have a good impression of him in my heart.

"Let's go in together!"

The inside of the room has been ventilated and cleaned spotlessly. There are eight rooms in the entire imperial room, a main room for office, an inner room for resting ground, a marching room for sand tables and maps, a conference room, a Hanlin room, and the remaining three rooms are a library for various map books, and the living room Lang Dongfang Yun is sitting in the corner on Zhang Huan's side, if there is a confidential matter, he can be asked to avoid it.

On a royal case carved from red sandalwood were neatly stacked with two stacks of folds like a hill, one part of which he had not finished last night, and the other part of which had just been sent by the people of Zhongshe when he opened the door this morning.

Although there are a little more things when the new emperor ascends the throne, it is indeed an extremely hard profession to be the emperor, and a large number of recitals are sent every day, if you slack off a little, you will accumulate more and more, and you have to summon the courtiers to deal with it, and you have to hold court meetings, so that the emperor is tired every day, and the emperor will stay up all night to review the recitals, but once they meet the sons of gentlemen who ascend the throne, they will never be able to work so state affairs, or entrust the internal servants, or simply be the big shopkeeper, the former leads to the eunuch dictatorship, and the latter causes the ministers to cover the sky.

Of course, Zhang Huan didn't have the blessing to enjoy the glory and wealth of the emperor, as soon as he sat down, the little eunuch An Zhong handed him a catalog sent with the fold, "Your Majesty, this is the catalogue sent by the Central Province, plus last night's fold, a total of one hundred and sixty-five copies, please take a look." ”

This is somewhat similar to today's list of contents, on the one hand, it is to prevent people from being manipulated in the process of entering and leaving the palace, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the emperor to be able to see at a glance and pick out the key things to read first.

"I know, you can put it here first!" Zhang Huan took a sip of tea from the teacup, glanced at Dongfang Yun again, and saw that he was meticulously preparing pen and ink, he nodded secretly, and said to An Zhongshun: "You go to Central Province and Menxia Province first, and invite Pei and Cui Erxiang to come over, and Lu Shang of the Ministry of Rites is also invited." ”

An Zhongshun agreed, and went in a hurry, Zhang Huan picked up the folding catalogue and read it roughly, from the time on the folding time, most of them are important things accumulated a few days ago, and there are only more than ten things that happened after he ascended the throne. There is a criminal department Shang Zhang Potian to ask the world for amnesty to show the emperor's grace; Shang Han of the Ministry of Household Affairs asked for the establishment of a chamber of commerce in the same industry to develop large commerce and large workshops, and suggested that it should be tried in the three counties of Guangling, Wu County and Yuhang first.

He was very interested in Han Di's suggestion, and he soon found the book numbered one hundred and sixty-two, and as soon as he opened it, Han Na's enthusiastic font came into view, "The minister thinks that the root of suppressing land annexation is to prosper industry and commerce, and if industry and commerce prosper, the people will have his support, and taxes will be levied by him, and the merchant will not be trapped by the land, but the mercenary nature of the merchant is mercenary." It must be restrained, so the court filed a case with the Chamber of Commerce

Zhang Huan silently looked at this book with advanced thinking, and the ideal realm described by Han is now impossible. Under the premise that the people regard food as the heaven and earth, it is impossible to talk about business if there is no large surplus of grain, but to have a surplus of grain, first, to develop farming technology to increase the yield per mu, and second, to gradually transfer the population to the Jianghuai River, which crops twice a year, and even to develop land that crops three times a year further south, and another key is to give the peasants their own land. that they may grow bread for their own sake

Industry and commerce, food, land, and population are all linked together, and there are also problems such as transportation and currency that need to be solved, which is not something that can be done in one or two days, but it can indeed be tried in Jiangdu and Suzhou.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch An Zhongshun came from the door, "Your Majesty, Pei Xiangguo, Cui Xiangguo, and Lu Shang of the Ministry of Rites have been invited." ”

"Announce them in."

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanzhong ordered Pei You, Cui Yu, the servant of the door, and Shang Lu Qi of the Ministry of Rites to meet you!"

"Your Majesty has a will

One by one, voices came out of the Zichen Pavilion, and after a while, Pei You and the three of them hurriedly walked in, and saluted Zhang Huanshen and said, "Ministers, see Your Majesty." ”

"Three Aiqing, please take a seat!" Zhang Huan smiled and asked the three of them to sit down. Then he said apologetically to Pei Jun: "I specially summoned you to delay your meeting in the Land Affairs Hall." ”

Pei You hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty and your ministers went to court at the same time, this is a precious thing." The Council Council meeting could be held later, but following His Majesty's arrangements for the first day was the most important thing. ”

At this time, Lu Qi next to him secretly sneered at Pei You's sycophancy, he stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has two suggestions to start. ”

Zhang Huan immediately had a sense of energy. "Lu Aiqing said bluntly."

Lu Qi glanced at Pei You and said: "Taizong has a custom, Xiangguo must bring an official to meet the emperor, and then this system is gradually abolished, yesterday His Majesty decreed, my Tang Dynasty ministers are not guilty of words, and the ministers are very moved by this, even so, why don't Your Majesty restore the old system of Taizong, and the quasi-ministers will meet with the Prime Minister?" ”

The envoy of the official and the Xiangguo to meet the emperor has always been the Tang system. The counselor is not supervising the country. Rather, it supervised the emperor and admonished him when his words and deeds got out of control. It was initiated by Li Shimin, who was good at advising, and was fixed, but it was gradually abolished in the later period of Li Longji, and Lu Qi brought up this matter again, hoping that Zhang Huan would no longer act arbitrarily and arbitrarily and could listen to the minister's advice.

Zhang Huan pondered for a moment and then said: "Since I promised not to be punished for my words, it was by no means a whim, I agreed to Lu Aiqing's first exhortation, and allowed the counselor to accompany the prime minister to the audience. ”

Dongfang Yun's hand next to him trembled, and he immediately excitedly recorded Zhang Huan's order, Pei You and Cui Yu glanced at each other, and their excitement was beyond words.

Zhang Huan smiled and asked, "I don't know what Lu Aiqing's second exhortation is?" ”

Lu Qi didn't expect Zhang Huan to agree so happily, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted: "The second exhortation of the minister is to hope that Your Majesty will not be in a hurry to come to the court first, and that the officials of the Ministry of Rites should teach Your Majesty etiquette, so that Your Majesty can understand the imperial etiquette, so as to be both majestic and majestic." ”

"The minister disagrees with Lu Shang's suggestion." Cui Yu, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke out against Lu Qi's second suggestion, he stood up and saluted Zhang Huan and said: "My Tang Dynasty has entered the rule from chaos, and all opportunities are to be taken care of, although etiquette is important, but it is relatively light on state affairs, and His Majesty was in court yesterday, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and there is no rudeness, and the minister thinks that the etiquette of the professor is inappropriate at this time." ”

At this time, Pei You also expressed his support for Cui Yu's point of view, "The advice does not have to be followed, it is reasonable to follow, and if it is unreasonable, it is not to follow, now that there are many state affairs, and everything is important, Your Majesty is indeed not suitable to learn etiquette at this time." ”

Zhang Huan smiled and waved his hand and said: "Lu Shang is the Ministry of Etiquette, advocating etiquette is his duty, the two Xiangguo don't have to worry too much, etiquette is to learn, but you can postpone it a little later. ”

The system of subjects is relative to the regular subjects in the spring of each year, in short, it is a temporary imperial examination.

(The second shift of the old high, and then begging for a monthly pass)
