At three o'clock, outside the front hall, bells and drums rang out from far and near, Liu Che was surrounded by courtiers and rode to the court, followed by hundreds of eunuchs holding various umbrellas, barrier fans, and banners.

The music class in the palace played Shao music. In the sound of ceremonial music, Liu Che changed to the foot at the bottom of the palace steps and came to the royal platform in the palace. Carrying the eunuch steadily, Liu Che got up and walked up to the Danqi, and sat down on the imperial couch with his back to the north and facing south.

The salute officer dragged out his voice and said, "Xing! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! "The civil and military officials knelt on their knees, put their left hand on their right hand, palmed down, raised their hands to increase their foreheads, and then bowed their hands to the ground, and at the same time leaned over and touched the back of their hands with their heads.

Liu Che wears a crown of heaven on his head, has a high nose and long eyes, his eyebrows are in the temples, and his jade-like face is calm like water. He looked at the hundred officials who were kneeling on the ground, and bowed slightly.

The salute chanted: "Get up! ”

Then the ministers straightened up and knelt on the carpet in turn.

After the ministers sat down, Liu Che looked at Wei Juan, who was the first in the eastern class, and asked gently, "Is the prime minister's body safe?" ”

"With His Majesty's concern, it's already much better." Wei Juan leaned over slightly and replied respectfully.

The first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and thousands of affairs, large and small, were all handled by the Prime Minister's Office. During this period, Wei Wan fell ill tiredly. Liu Che asked.

"That's good. The prime minister's body is safe, which is the blessing of the community. Liu Che looked happy and said with relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The princes shall do their best and be diligent in the king's affairs. Wei Juan is loyal, has a mentor-apprentice friendship with Liu Che, and is treated well by Liu Che, and his heart is quite moved.

Liu Che nodded.

The court will enter the right agenda.

According to the rules of the system, if an official has something to report, he must get up and go out of the ranks, report his official position and name, and then make a presentation to the emperor. The emperor either replied on the spot, or handed it over to the council. The rest of the officials were not allowed to interject without the emperor's permission.

Today, the hundred officials are the same as usual, most of them are silent, only Ting Wei and Lang Zhongling have come out one after another, and two or three things have been played, all of which are trivial.

Liu Che waited for a while, but no one came forward to do anything. He was a little disappointed, slowly glanced at the ministers who were meditating under the Dan Pier, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything else to play?" ”

The ministers of the "......" were sitting in a precarious position, and no one answered.

"Good! Since you don't speak, let's talk. Liu Che raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Forget it, the last court meeting was a month ago, and it was still the right emperor to summon it." Could it be that in the past month, there has been no major incident in Dahan? Is the world too peaceful? ”

The majestic voice echoed in the main hall.

Liu Che sank his face and said in an accentuated tone: "Don't tell me, this is the old rule in the past. It has been 60 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and many rules should be changed! Many of you are my elders, but in the court, only about kings and ministers! ”

The voice fell, and the hall was silent.

Everyone was invigorated. Except for a few old and respected ministers, the rest of the people all had discolored faces, and some officials even had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Liu Che took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In his position, seek his government." I hope that you will abandon the old routine of 'ruling by inaction', devote your thoughts to the government and politics, ponder and ponder major matters, and share my worries. ”

"Remember, Ministers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

A few echoes rang out in the main hall. Liu Che shook his head in disappointment.

。

After the dispersal, the ministers walked to the bottom of the steps of the front hall, and then exchanged their heads and ears, and began to discuss in a low voice.

Prime Minister Wei Wan did not squint, and walked alone on the sidewalk, walking in a hurry. Some ministers gathered around Wei Juan to talk, wanting to put on a bit of a mouthful. How could Wei Wan be expressionless, did not answer, walked out of Sima Gate, got into his carriage, and galloped away.

Dou Ying walked out of the main hall and heard someone behind him shouting: "Please stay." ”

Dou Ying looked back, and the latter gave a deep salute. Dou Ying saw clearly that it was Wu'an Hou Tianwei, and said with a smile: "You are also a marquis now, how can you still call me like this?" ”

"Tian Wei is the marquis, it's just a fluke, how dare you compare with the king." Tian Wei said humbly.

"You are the emperor's uncle, how can you say that it is a fluke." Dou Ying held his hands behind his back, and there was something to say. "It's your turn to show off your skills!"

The two walked down the steps side by side, talking as they went. Some ministers wanted to come over, Dou Ying waved his hand, and the people who came had to walk away with interest.
