"Also, Jingzhao Mansion has Wu Hou patrolling around in each square, and it is also very convenient for them to inquire about the news, I want to place some people to be Wu Hou!"

Chang'an Guocheng is divided into more than 100 squares by 38 horizontal and vertical streets, which are surrounded by fang walls and square gates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere are Wuhou shops in every corner of the street, 30 people in the big shop and 5 people in the small shop, and they are responsible for the security management of the people in the square.

"No problem! In addition, you must place people in the palace, officials' homes, and every corner of the city, and ensure that there is no news in Chang'an that you can't hear. ”

"Brother Bao'er, I understand!" Yan Gu nodded.

"When the conditions are ripe, your people will be spread all over every inch of Datang, and there will be no news in the world that we can't detect!"

A wistful look flashed in Zhang Baoer's eyes.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Baoer was woken up early.

Zhang Bao'er tried to open her eyes and said, "Uncle Hua, what time is it, you have to get up?" ”

"Uncle, you forgot, I'm going to go to court today!" Uncle Hua reminded.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion and the military guards of each fang patrolled around every day, and the people who committed adultery had long been frightened. When the three-month deadline arrived, Zhang Baoer reorganized the order of the capital, Li Xian was overjoyed, and ordered Zhang Baoer to participate in the early dynasty and reward him during the court meeting.

Zhang Bao'er rubbed her eyes and smiled bitterly: "I forgot about this stubble!" Fortunately, I don't have to go to court every day! ”

……

The early dynasty has long been accustomed to civil and military officials, but Zhang Baoer is the second time to participate in the early dynasty, which is somewhat novel.

When Zhang Baoer walked into the court, everyone's eyes shot at him, some admired, some disdainful, some feared, and some hated. Zhang Bao'er turned a blind eye to these gazes, and just found a corner to take a nap, and didn't even notice Cui Xiang waving to him to say hello.

Li Xian looked radiant and high-spirited in the last dynasty today, and the decadence of the previous days was swept away.

In the court meeting, Li Xian praised Zhang Bao'er and appointed Zhang Bao'er as the squire of the Criminal Department, and was crowned as the county magistrate of the founding country.

The squire of the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin are both from the third grade, but the Squire of the Criminal Department is the deputy chief of the Criminal Department, and his power is far from being comparable to that of Jing Zhaoyin. The titles of the Tang Dynasty are divided into nine levels: prince, county king, national duke, founding county duke, founding county duke, founding county marquis, founding county uncle, founding county son, founding county male nine levels, Zhang Baoer was awarded the seventh-level title of founding county earl, which also made many people blush.

The eyes are red, but no minister stands up to oppose Zhang Baoer's appointment and sealing. Of course, some people don't want to object, but they can't. Zhang Baoer used thunderous means to eliminate all the deep-rooted diseases in the capital, and the people of Chang'an even spontaneously beat gongs and drums to celebrate.

It stands to reason that Zhang Baoer should be happy when he is promoted, but at this moment he has a bitter face: as a waiter in the criminal department, he will have to get up early to go to the court every time he discusses in the future, which is not what Zhang Baoer wants.

Next, Li Xian and the ministers discussed some other things, which were very boring, Zhang Baoer didn't listen to them at all, and stood aside and dozed off.

Just when the ministers thought that today's court meeting was about to end, Li Xian suddenly spoke again: "Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, the queen proposed to me that I should go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, I don't know what the ministers think?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

The most solemn ceremony of the dynasties is the sealing of Zen.

The so-called Feng Zen is an activity held by the emperor to worship heaven and earth, and it is generally held in Mount Tai. The so-called "seal" is that the Son of Heaven ascends Mount Tai to build an altar to worship the sky, and "Zen" is to sacrifice to the hillock under Mount Tai, announcing peace in the world to heaven and earth. In the course of the event, the emperor was the first to make the offering, and he was the first to hold the sacrifice. The representative of the minister is the second offering, and the second one is on the offering.

Back then, when Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian sealed Mount Tai, after Tang Gaozong's first dedication, it was no longer the representative of the public secretary who served as the second offering, but the queen Wu Zetian! This incident made Wu Zetian greatly in the limelight, and his political status was further improved.

Empress Wei effectively imitated Wu Zetian's heart, and all the ministers already knew it, and now Empress Wei made such a suggestion to Li Xian, obviously to praise Li Xian's achievements, but in fact, she must want to seek the name of Naya Xian and build momentum for herself.

After listening to Li Xian's words, the expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials were different, but none of them spoke.

At this time, Xiao Zhizhong, the Chinese scholar, came out and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, among the ceremonies of the emperors, the specifications of the Zen seal are the highest, and it must be held under the conditions of national peace and security and the emperor's wide respect, so there are not many kings who have sealed the Zen, please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Xiao Zhizhong's words were very tactful, but Li Xian and all the ministers heard it, and in terms of Zhongzong's cultural and martial arts, he did not have the qualifications to seal Zen at all. Xiao Zhizhong wanted to dissuade Li Xian to make Empress Wei's wishful thinking come to naught.

Although Li Xian is angry, he is still self-aware, what should he do? He retreated and decided to go to the southern suburbs of Chang'an City to hold a ceremony to worship heaven and earth.

Li Xian gave in, did not go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, but only held a ceremony to worship heaven and earth in the southern suburbs, and Xiao Zhizhong had no reason to oppose it anymore.

The southern suburbs are also one of the highest national ceremonies, so officials are required to agree on the procedure for performing the salute in advance. At this critical time, Empress Wei's supporters in the court should come in handy, as the so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while.

Zong Chuke gave a look, and Zhu Qinming, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, said: "When the minister was looking through the ancient books, he found that in ancient times, every time there was a big sacrifice, there were queens who participated in the sacrifice. Therefore, this time in the southern suburbs, the queen should also participate in the sacrifice of heaven and earth, and help to sacrifice heaven and earth. ”

After Zhu Qinming finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out and retorted: "You Zhu Qinming is still a scholar, do you still know how to read, and do you understand what the ancients said?" In ancient times, queens could participate in sacrifices, but they participated in the activities of sacrificing their ancestors, and they had never heard of queens sacrificing to the sky. ”

The ministers of the two factions of Empress Newei and Princess Taiping held their own opinions and could not hold each other.

Seeing the chaos of the ministers in the court, Li Xian's face became more and more ugly,

At this time, Zhang Bao'er was no longer dozing, his two eyes were rolling around, and he seemed to think of something.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!"

Li Xian saw that it was Zhang Bao'er who wanted to speak, and his face softened slightly: "Zhang Aiqing, it's okay to speak out!" ”

"The ministers of the DPRK and China have different opinions, and it is a little inappropriate to decide this matter now, if Your Majesty can trust the ministers, let the ministers communicate with the ministers first, and after reaching a consensus, the next court meeting will discuss it again, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"
