Bianjing, the palace is brightly lit, shining like day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info palace maids, eunuchs, and miscellaneous servants are busy, because the Zhengdan Dynasty is about to begin.

Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, is the first court meeting of the New Year, although not to discuss any state affairs, not to deal with any military and political affairs, but is full of festive atmosphere, is one of the most important court meetings of the year.

Therefore, the Zhengdan Dynasty must be grand and festive. Under the busyness of palace maids, eunuchs, and miscellaneous servants, the entire palace is decorated with joy, and it is as if you are in a sea of joy.

There were five drums in the sky, and many ministers gathered outside the palace, all with smiles on their faces, and when they met each other, they wanted to say a few words of blessing and congratulate.

"Woo!" The cold wind, which was as cold as a scimitar, made people's hearts cold, but it could not stop the joyful atmosphere of the ministers, who gathered in front of the palace, and here was a sea of joy.

The palace gate opened, and a team of forbidden troops came out in the wind and snow, standing on both sides of the palace gate.

According to the official rank, the ministers rushed in, and their faces were full of joy.

As soon as the ministers entered the palace, they felt a sense of joy rushing to their faces, and they were all overjoyed, and they couldn't close their mouths. Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the ministers came to the Daqing Hall and entered the fish.

The Daqing Hall covers an extremely large area and can accommodate thousands of people, and is generally used when holding a large court meeting. The place of the court meeting in the Northern Song Dynasty is the Yanhe Palace, which is generally the place where the court meeting is held at ordinary times, although it is the center of the empire, it is not a large place, and the capacity is limited.

A big court meeting like today, with so many people, can only be held in the Daqing Palace.

Daqing Hall is full of tables and chairs, but also put pastries, fruits, paste all kinds of decorative things, the whole Daqing Hall is a sea of joy, if you are in the middle, it must be infinite joy.

According to the official position, under the guidance of the eunuchs, the ministers took their seats. Today is a time of festivities, although it is still hierarchical, but it is not as elaborate as usual, the ministers sit down, drink tea, eat pastries, talk, and wish each other well.

"Junshi is here!"

Just as the ministers congratulated each other, they saw Sima Guang appear at the door of the hall. Sima Guang lived in seclusion in Henan Mansion and wrote "Zizhi Tongjian", regardless of the government, which is known to the world. However, he still has to come to the annual Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting.

As soon as they saw Sima Guang's face, those opposition ministers seemed to see a savior, and they were about to rush up. Sima Guang is the leader of the opposition and the banner of the opposition, and his arrival will cause a sensation, which is inevitable.

However, to the surprise of these opposition ministers, Sima Guang just hugged his fists and said: "Sima Guang has seen all the adults!" Sima Guang is here to wish all of you all your wishes for the New Year come true! ”

Then he flicked his sleeves, and regardless of the reaction of the opposition ministers, he walked away on his own, and under the guidance of the eunuch, came to his place and sat down.

If Sima Guang had arrived in previous years, and these opposition ministers had surrounded him, he would have talked to the ministers for a long time, giving them hints and encouraging them to carry out the opposition to the new law to the end. As today, there was not a single word in this regard, which was so abnormal that the opposition ministers were stunned for a long time before accepting this as a fact.

However, they did not surround it again. They knew Sima Guang, and he must have had no choice but to act like this, shook his head, and returned to his respective seats and sat down.

The sensation caused by Sima Guang's arrival had just calmed down, and another gray-haired minister arrived, this person was tall and extremely strong, although he was not young, he was not old, and he walked with a tigerish style and was very powerful.

"It's Achi-kyu! It's Achi-kei! The ministers were surprised and exclaimed.

This person is another cadre of the opposition, Han Qi, whose name is Zhigui. Han Qi was a famous general, highly respected, and had great prestige among the ministers, and although his defeat of the good water river allowed the Western Xia to establish a state, he retained his position and had a great influence in the court. Although he has been absent from the court for a long time and has returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, his influence in the court is still there.

As soon as he appeared, there was another sensation, and his protégés and former officials rushed up, surrounded him, congratulated him, and did not stop saluting.

Han Qi's voice was like a bell, and he talked to the ministers, and then he strode away, and when he came to Sima Guang's table, he was about to speak, Sima Guang flashed his eyes at him, Han Qi understood, just a courtesy of etiquette, and then walked to his seat and sat down.

There are constantly heavyweight ministers coming, and every time such ministers arrive, it causes a sensation.

"It's in storage!"

"In the middle of the store, what new skills do you have?"

When a middle-aged minister appeared at the door of the main hall, it caused a sensation, and many ministers came up to greet him.

This minister's status in the court is not high, but he is very famous, because he is a great scientist Shen Kuo, and his words are in the middle. He is curious, clever, and has unexpected inventions and creations, and his official position is not high, but he is very famous among the hundred officials. His arrival made the minister a sensation, which is reasonable.

Shen Kuo's surname was hearty, and he talked to the ministers for a while, and then walked to his seat and sat down.

"It's Dongpo!"

"The three fathers and sons of the Su family!"

"It's Su Dacai!"

Suddenly, the entire Daqing Hall buzzed, and the ministers stood up in unison, looking at the entrance of the hall with a look of eagerness. Even Sima Guang and Han Qi also stood up and looked at the entrance of the hall.

"Haha!" A hearty laugh came, a middle-aged man strode over, before anyone arrived, a sense of elegance arrived first, it was Su Shi, a famous genius through the ages, Su Dongpo.

Su Dongpo's surname is Haoshuang, which can be tasted from his poems, and his laughter is particularly hearty.

"Su Shi has seen all the adults!" Su Shi came to the group, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are really early enough!" I've got you guys out of it! ”

"Huh!" This was a joke, which caused a burst of laughter from the ministers.

The two people who came in immediately after Su Shi were Su Xun and Su Zhe, plus Su Dongpo, they were the famous "Three Sus". The father and son came together, causing a sensation far more than Sima Guang and Han Qi.

The official position of the father and son is not very high, and the power is not great, but their fame is unmatched in the court. The three talents gathered, and the sensational effect can be imagined. Su Xun and Su Zhe were not allowed to speak, and the ministers surrounded the father and son, and asked the three for ink treasures and poems.

The names of the father and son are too loud, if you can get their poems and ink treasures, which are worth more than 10,000 taels of gold, who wouldn't want to?

In this way, the father and son were in a predicament, coping with this, unable to cope with that, and were so busy that they were sweating and couldn't be busy.

"Silence!" Just when the father and son were complaining, they only heard the sharp screams of the eunuchs, and the ministers knew that the emperor was coming, so they hurriedly returned to their seats, and Su Shi, father and son, were relieved and walked quickly to their seats.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the official family, and the Empress have arrived!"

Shao Jiu's roar was particularly shrill and harsh.

As his words fell, I saw Empress Dowager Cao coming quickly with the support of Empress Dowager Gao and Song Shenzong. Empress Xiang walked behind Empress Dowager Cao, and the four members of the family came in such a harmonious manner.

Empress Dowager Cao's face was full of joyful smiles, her complexion was good, it seemed that she was really happy.

Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, in modern terms, is called "New Year's Tea Party", where monarchs and ministers get together, talk, eat some pastries, drink tea, and look forward to the New Year. Yes, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother can all come.

"It's New Year's Day, don't make a big gift!" Empress Dowager Cao did not allow the ministers to see the courtesy, and with a wave of her hand, she set the tone first: "The New Year is to be happy, and there is no need to be restricted." ”

Because of her words, the ministers were exempted from the great gift and thanked in unison.

Empress Dowager Cao sat on the throne in the middle, Empress Dowager Gao sat on the side seat, and Empress Song Shenzong and Empress Xiang stood on the left and right. Although Song Shenzong is the supreme, he is a junior at home, and standing beside the Empress Dowager Cao and the Empress Dowager Gao, it is what he should do.

Empress Dowager Cao first looked at the ministers for a while, nodded, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the old body is happy to see you all, and the old body is also happy!" It's the first day of the new year, and it's New Year's Day, so I should have said something nice. However, the old body has to remind you that this year is extraordinary, and you all know that there is still a big battle to be fought in the north. The old body just hopes that you will be diligent and assist the official family to fight this battle, and don't fall into the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

The war in the north was coming soon, and the joy on the faces of the ministers froze, and they couldn't help but breathe in the cold.

Empress Dowager Cao's words changed sharply, and then said: "You must think that the Khitans are difficult to fight, don't you? In fact, as long as Huaxia is determined, how can the Khitan people run rampant? The Returning Army robbed the New Year's coins, and the 80,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty went deep into the Liao Territory to plunder and harvested a lot, can't this be explained? The old body finally reminds you that the Liao people are not terrible! The scary thing is ourselves, there are always some people who think that we orphans and widows are easy to bully! Hum! ”

Deliberately glanced at Sima Guang, Sima Guang felt like a knife cutting meat, he wrote a letter to Empress Dowager Cao last time, it was really a mistake.

"Official, you can say a few words." The Empress Dowager Cao knocked and beat on the phone, which was very shocking, and the ministers did not dare to come out. After she finished speaking, she was ready to ask Song Shenzong to say a few words. However, she found that Song Shenzong was absent-minded, looking at the north, and her brows were twisted together: "The official family, the official family......"

And Song Shenzong didn't seem to hear it, and there was only one thing in his heart: "Has Zhuozhou been defeated?" ”

At this moment, Zhuozhou has changed its old appearance, and the whole city is full of the banners of the Song army, hunting in the morning breeze, stretching picturesquely.

"Hunting!" Listening to the sound of flags fluttering in the wind, the people of Zhuozhou couldn't help but be overjoyed, hugging each other and crying: "Master Wang is here!" More than 100 years have passed, and the flag of Huaxia has finally been planted in Zhuozhou City! ”

Since the loss of Zhuozhou, the flag of Huaxia was planted all over the city for the first time, which was a great joy for the people, and they all cried with joy.

"Zhuozhou has been recovered!"

I don't know who roared first, and then there was a roar like a landslide and a tsunami, straight into the sky.

For more than 100 years, countless people with lofty ideals have been working hard to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but they have not made any contributions. Now, the city of Zhuozhou is full of the banners of the Song army, which means that Zhuozhou has been recovered!

It's a great moment!

Significant!

Even using all the words is not enough!
