Chapter 766: The Great Imperial Meeting

On the third day of the good news from Mayi, it was exactly the fifteenth. According to the rules, today should be the Great Dynasty. The Great Dynasty is the time when the civil and military officials meet His Majesty, and there are only two days in the middle of the month, the fifteenth and the first day of the new year. On this day, all the officials in Chang'an have to go to Jianzhang Palace to face the saint, even after going, you can only stand in the courtyard of Jianzhang Palace to bask in the sun or rain, and the necessary etiquette is indispensable.

Early in the morning, it was not yet dawn. Dou Ying's frame went out, and Dou Ying and the bushman were sitting in the carriage. One is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the newly promoted guard captain, both of whom are important ministers of the court. The two are friends again, and it is not the first time that they have gone to court together.

The bushman couldn't sit still in the car today, and an old face was excited and the red light triumphed: "As soon as you say it today, it should be announced to the world, right?" ”

Dou Ying shook his head. The bushman was stunned: "No?" Why? ”

Dou Ying said: "The Hongling messenger is running fast, Ma Yi must have a lot of follow-up work to do, although His Majesty left Su Xiaozi to clean up, but before he is sure whether the Huns are really in chaos, he will never tell the world, His Majesty is worried." ”

"Worried about what? Shan Yu's main force has been completely annihilated, what waves can the Huns stir up? ”

Dou Ying glanced at the bushman: "You don't know a lot of things, you still don't talk much after going to court today, but don't forget it." ”

"Afraid of what? I'm doing the right thing, sitting upright, and now it's not the beginning, is it still afraid that someone will make it bad? ”

Dou Ying frowned: "Although it is not the beginning, but who is right about the things in the court, the old man knows that there are already people who are ready to participate in Su Xiaozi, your family's affairs in Yingchuan are not over yet, this will definitely not rush up!" ”

"Who is so bold to participate in Su Boy at this time? You know, if there was no Su boy in this battle, how could my Han win so much? ”

"That's the key, have you ever heard the Lord of Gong Gao Zhen say?"

"Yes!"

"There is nothing to do, the world is always the world of the Liu family, no one can covet it, even if His Majesty protects Su Xiaozi this time, no one knows the true thoughts in His Majesty's heart!" Dou Ying let out a sigh of relief and warned the bushman again: "I will only say these words to you, just keep them in your heart!" ”

The carriage creaked and crushed against the bluestone pavement, making an unpleasant sound. The guards on both sides were vigilant, holding torches and lanterns high, hoping to see out of any hidden places around. When Dou Ying came, many officials had already arrived early, and when they saw Dou Ying's frame coming, they all stepped forward to salute. Dou Ying is a sincere gentleman, although he is a prime minister, he doesn't put on a show, he comes out of the car and looks at everyone with a smile.

After everyone left, Ji Di looked sad. Dou Ying smiled: "Why is Doctor Yu Shi unhappy? ”

Ji Yin sighed: "Why should the prime minister look at my jokes, didn't the prime minister hear some rumors?" ”

Dou Ying didn't speak, since he grabbed Dou Ying's sleeve, he dragged it to the side of the carriage. The two came to a secluded place, and Ji Yan's brows furrowed even deeper: "Several imperial histories have been jointly signed, I really can't stop them, they will be played in the hall today, and I will ask the prime minister to think of a way for me." ”

Dou Ying said: "The imperial history is right, although you and I are the third duke, but we can't hide it, if you let Your Majesty know that you intend to block the imperial history, you, who have just been a few days ago, may not be able to last long." ”

"Hey!" Ji Yin sighed: "I knew that this was the case, it would be better to be my Jing Zhaoyin, at least no one would make trouble for me." ”

Dou Ying smiled: "This is a bit against my will, I think when you were Jing Zhaoyin, you didn't have any troubles, especially after meeting Su Xiaozi, I never saw you laugh." ”

Ji Yin laughed helplessly: "Su boy, hehe, I knew that I should have beaten him now!" ”

The two laughed a few times, and Dou Ying's face suddenly turned straight: "Do you know who they are?" ”

Ji said darkly: "Who else can there be?" ”

"They're them again?"

Ji Yin nodded: "Since they made the imperial history, my life is not as good as day by day, how did I promise Zhuang Qingzhai to lead the disaster to myself, I should have known that I should have driven out of Chang'an." ”

"Just the three of them?"

"There have been quite a few unions, about seventeen or eighteen, basically similar to their situation, all pretentious people."

"Then let them make trouble, just watch! However, you have to give a note to your majesty in private, lest your majesty think that you are advocating. ”

"I still know about this matter, and I hope that the prime minister will help me a lot when the time comes."

Before the two finished speaking, the palace gate of Jianzhang Palace had already opened, and the servant had already shouted for everyone to line up and prepare to go to court. Dou Ying and Ji Yin are both three dukes, and the two should stand at the front of the line, only the two of them stand well, and the rest follow behind the two in order. Originally, there were three people standing at the front of the line, the prime minister, the imperial historian and the captain. However, since Emperor Wen's imperial lieutenant Zhou Bo was dismissed, the position of lieutenant has always been vacant, and there is no lieutenant in the imperial court now. It can be said that the army of the imperial court was completely in the hands of the emperor.

The servants made their way through the procession, checking one by one to see if anyone was standing on the wrong side or if someone was dressed out of place. At this time, it depends on the mood of the servant, say a few words if you are in a good mood, and let people go home if you are in a bad mood, and from then on you will know that your political career is over. So a small standing line also has a political purpose, if it is someone the emperor does not want to see, the imperial servant will dispose of you outside the palace gate.

Liu Jiqing, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, stood in the palace gate, waiting for everyone to stand in line with a expressionless face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a purpose, today is the Great Imperial Meeting, you Aiqing go to the palace!" ”

The long tone dragged out, Dou Ying was the first to take a step, and the rest of the people held their hands in front of their chests, lowered their heads and looked at the heels of the people in front of them. Yu Lin Wei stood on both sides of the royal road with weapons in hand, and the sword glowing with blue light was already out of the body, and as long as he found anyone who had misdeeds, he would immediately cut it down. Therefore, at this time, hundreds of officials are more quails than quails, because even if Yu Linwei cuts you, not only will no one cry for you, but if you don't get it, you will be beheaded all over the house, this is the imperial power.

The main hall of Jianzhang Palace is brightly lit, and you can smell the smell of lamp oil from a distance of eight zhang. Emperor Liu Che sat on the dragon chair with a majestic face, overlooking his courtiers. Dou Ying stopped three steps away from the steps, waited for a moment, knelt on the ground, and led everyone to shout.

This is the Great Dynasty Meeting, which is not as cumbersome as in later movies, nor as vast as in later TV dramas. The team, which totaled less than two hundred people, was all crowded in the lobby, and the Jianzhang Palace of Nuoda was a little crowded.

After everyone was over, Liu Jiqing glanced at everyone and spoke again: "Your Majesty has a purpose, Zhuqing will sit down!" ”

Everyone was looking for their seats, and those standing in the back could only go outside the door. If it was placed in the past, Su Ren, the broken Taizhong doctor, could only sit on the threshold. It can be seen how complicated the officials of the Han are. Now it's naturally different, with the rank of general, at least you can sit in the hall. Some people have been officials all their lives, and they don't have the opportunity to sit in Jianzhang Palace.

The last court is not a matter of affairs, important matters, the emperor and a few close ministers have already discussed properly, the reason why I said it during the court meeting is to tell others the result. It is not so much that the court will be a group of ministers discussing national policies, but rather a political show. Whether it is the feudal empire or the various political forms of later generations, the people who decide the fate of the country will always be only a few.

"Your Majesty, play for the minister!"

It stands to reason that the protagonist of the Great Dynasty Meeting is the Prime Minister, and only when the Prime Minister speaks, the rest of the people can speak. Now that the prime minister has not spoken, someone rushed to speak, which couldn't help but attract the attention of many people.

As soon as he saw the man's appearance, Ji Di's heart was half cold, and his face immediately became as black as the bottom of the pot. But that guy is his man, and it's too late to go out and stop it at this time, and he can't do anything about it when he cries out in his heart.

The new imperial history Bian Tong knelt in the center of the main hall, his head touched the ground, and his hands were held high in his own fold: "As the imperial history, the minister has the duty of impeaching people who bend the law, and now there is Jianwei General Su Ren, who privately confers battlefield seizures, sells military merits privately, and there are more illegal traders Cui Jiuming who makes a stumbling block from it, and the corpse of the army general Han Anguo is vegetarian, and the Yanmen Taishou Li Guangdai County is too shou Cheng to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the minister thinks that these people are all moths in the court, and they are the hearts of the soldiers, and their hearts can be punished!" Please be aware of it! ”

Bian Tong's words are reasonable and well-founded, and the twists and turns in his hands are even thicker and outrageous. Since Su Ren improved the papermaking process, the original bulky bamboo slips have been replaced by paper, even if it is to write a 10,000-word piece, it is only a few thin pages, and today the piece in Bian Tong's hand is an inch back, it looks a little scary, I don't know how long he wrote this piece.

Since someone was playing, Emperor Liu Che naturally couldn't help but ask, and waved his hand to signal Liu Jiqing to bring the music fold. Taking the fold in Liu Jiqing's hand, Liu Che gently put it on the cases in front of him, and glanced at the hall: "Who else wants to participate in Su Ren, take it together." ”

The dynasty was about to start, because Bian Tong had already looked at him several times. Zhu Maichen grabbed Wang Dynasty and shook his head at him slightly. Bian Tong, who was kneeling under the hall, was stunned for a moment, originally the three of them said it was good, and more than a dozen people swore to advance and retreat together, why did they occupy it now, and the rest of them retreated? Bian Tong's eyes were on fire, staring at those who were standing beside Zhu Maichen, his teeth crunching.

Liu Che shouted again, but still no one showed up. Ji Yan let out a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no such thing as dozens of people playing together, and it was much easier to do with just such a thorn. After Liu Che asked three times, Ji Di stood up and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister should not speak, but because the person who falsely accused General Su is the imperial history, the minister dares to ask His Majesty to punish him!" ”

After Ji Yin finished speaking, he slowly knelt down. Liu Che kept looking at the people in the hall, and when Ji secretly knelt down, he laughed twice: "False accusation? Doctor Yu Shi thought it was a false accusation? ”

Ji Yan didn't dare to speak, he seemed to hear a different meaning from the emperor's words. The brain quickly analyzed what the emperor's words represented, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he was a little reckless. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the emperor continue: "I think what Bian Qing said is very right, Su Ren's sale of military exploits and reselling of military exploits is just something I have heard about a long time ago, so I want to see who is thinking about my big man, which makes me feel cold!" The three princes and the nine kings are all pretending to be deaf and dumb, could it be that you have been carried away by a victory? ”

Liu Che held up Bian Tong's recital and continued: "I will sue you today, the facts of Su Ren's perversion of the law are clear, and Bian Qing has absolutely no desire for him!" The Huangmen squire immediately drafted an order, and ordered the guard to go to Ma Yi in person, take Su Ren back to Chang'an, and wait for the fate! ”
