Chapter 566: Belonging to the Wise Early Dynasty (I)
With the rising sun, the early dynasty arrived as scheduled, Gao Ming wore a gorgeous robe, and walked into the hall in the surprised eyes of the civil and military officials.
The reason why the civil and military officials looked at Gao Ming like this was of course not because they admired him, but because he was late.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the courtiers are generally at five o'clock in the morning, and when the sun has just risen, the sun shines on the steps outside the hall and the court meeting begins.
But now it's the hour, that is, Gao Ming is an hour late.
For the courtiers, this is obviously not a trivial matter, especially those imperial historians who are famous for "finding faults", have begun to gear up at this time, and are ready to wait for the beginning of the court meeting.
In the past, they have always been overwhelmed by Gao Ming, and now that they have such a good opportunity, how can they let it go?
But what they didn't expect was that before they could jump out, Gao Ming stretched out a very big "sore foot" to them.
I saw that after Gao Ming entered the court, he did not stop where he belonged to him, but went up the steps by himself, and then sat down on the dragon couch where Li Shimin usually sits.
Seeing this scene, the imperial historians were all shocked.
"That's a dragon couch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually sat on it!"
"Am I right? How dare he do that! ”
"It's unbelievable!"
At this moment, they had already forgotten about Gao Ming's late arrival just now, and they were completely immersed in the shock caused by Gao Ming sitting on the dragon couch.
You must know that the dragon couch is a symbol of imperial power, just like the dragon chair in later generations, except for the emperor, not everyone can sit on it, but Gao Ming sat on it, and he sat in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
It's just appalling!
Because of this, not only the imperial historians, but even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all widened their eyes, and everyone's faces were full of incredulity.
Gao Ming sat on the dragon couch, looking at the expressions of the civil and military officials below, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Start going to the court, red tape will be saved, and everyone can say it directly if they have anything to say!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the civil and military officials who were in shock reacted, and an official in a green robe immediately walked out, and then arched his hand towards Gao Ming.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't sit on the dragon couch, this is not in order, please come down quickly!"
Obviously, in the face of Gao Ming's "sore feet", he did not intend to let it go.
Moreover, he was not the only one who thought like this, as soon as his words fell, several officials immediately stood up.
"What Lord Liu said is very true, the dragon couch is where the saint sits, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sits on it!"
"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come down quickly, this is really unseemly!"
"Weichen seconded!"
Looking at the ministers below who were gossiping about him, Gao Ming not only did not panic, but instead leaned back with a smile, leaned back on the back of the dragon couch, and then lifted Erlang's legs, and spit out a sentence from his mouth lightly.
"It's your!"
"Hiss......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, many officials present gasped on the spot, and the officials who stood up to accuse Gao Ming before were even more speechless with their mouths open.
At this time, many of the courtiers present had different expressions, some were shocked, some were angry, some were at a loss, and some were gloating.
Looking at the expressions of the ministers, Gao Ming, who was sitting on the dragon couch, spoke again.
"For me, this dragon couch doesn't mean anything, and the reason why I came to sit on it is not because I have any special thoughts about it, but just because I don't want to stand, and there happens to be such a place to sit here, believe it or not, it is the case."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders, and then smiled at the ministers below.
"Moreover, I have already been agreed by the owner of the dragon couch to sit here, and he didn't say anything, you are still chattering here, is this a dog meddling with a mouse?"
"You ......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the official who stood up to accuse Gao Ming suddenly widened his eyes, then rolled his eyes and fainted in public.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming shrugged his shoulders again.
"Did you see it, this person was so embarrassed and fainted because I said it, just like this, it's too reluctant to be an official, or go back and recuperate, do you think I am reasonable?"
"This ......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the court suddenly fell silent, but soon, an official in a purple robe stood up, and then saluted Gao Ming with a fist.
"Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, Lord Liu is already old, and his health is not good, so he will faint in the court, I Tang Dynasty rules the world with virtue, for the sake of Lord Liu's body, His Royal Highness the Prince hopes that he will return to his hometown is indeed good!"
The person who spoke at this time was none other than Lu Zhi, who had already taken refuge in Gao Ming.
Lu Zhi stood up at this time just to make his position clear, and Gao Ming also knew this, so he immediately smiled and nodded.
"Lord Lu can deeply understand what I mean, he really deserves to be the minister of my Datang, if I can have more such ministers in Datang, why worry that the country is not rich and strong!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Lu's old face suddenly turned slightly red, and he hurriedly arched his hand towards Gao Ming.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation, Weichen just understands a trace of His Highness's thoughts, and it is inexhaustible!"
"Hahahaha, easy to say...... Well said......"
Looking at the two people who were praising each other in front of the civil and military officials, the corners of many people's mouths began to twitch involuntarily.
Can you still get a face?
At this time, many people secretly scolded Lu Zhi in their hearts, shamelessness, etc., but some people "followed the trend" and joined the ranks of this sloppy horse.
For example, Cheng Bites Jin.
"Hahahaha, I Lao Cheng also thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, many of us were present when His Majesty went out yesterday, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had indeed said to His Majesty that he was going to sit on the dragon couch, and His Majesty did not object, and now there are still people talking about this, it's really a dog and a mouse to meddle in things, I'm phew!"
Speaking of this, Cheng Biting Jin then spit on the ground, and suddenly the faces of the few people who stood up before were flushed.
However, it may be because of the "old defendant's hometown" where they fainted before, so although they were very shy this time, none of them fainted.
Gao Ming sat above, looking at the aggressive Cheng Biting Jin, as well as the imperial historians who were so eager to find a hole in his mockery that they suddenly grinned again.
"Hahahaha, okay, Lu Guogong, you don't have to say a word, as the so-called ignorant are not guilty, I think they don't know about it, so don't blame them!"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Cheng Yanjin is also a human spirit, and he knows the truth of accepting it when he sees it, at this moment he has already stated his position, and by the way, he also brushed a wave of presence, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, he arched his hand towards Gao Ming and then retreated.
After Cheng Yanjin returned to his queue, Gao Ming smiled at several officials again.
"Okay, let's not talk about the dragon couch, a few adults still have anything to say, if there is nothing else, go back, don't delay the time of the early dynasty!"
"Uh......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words with guns and sticks, although several officials were unwilling, they could only arch their hands towards Gao Ming, and then gritted their teeth and retreated.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming laughed again.
"Then, the morning court continues!"
