Chapter 318: A Taste of Power
In the sixth year of Huichang, May 23, early morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The sky is dark, even the rooster is still asleep, holding hands with the hen to have a sweet dream, but was woken up by a chaotic sound, the rooster doesn't care, these should have been woken up by it human beings, how can they get up by themselves, their wings shake, and continue to sleep.
'Husband, wake up, it's time to go to court. The woman gently shook her man and woke him up. "Don't make noise, it's not yet dark, today is the court, I don't have to go to the court." ''Oh, why don't you use it, you mentioned it yesterday, but today it is like Shuowangchao.'' ’
'Ahh The man woke up all of a sudden, he almost forgot, yesterday Ma Gonggong announced that the emperor will come to the court today, because it is the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne, (I haven't been there before.) Therefore, it was changed to Shuowang Chaode, and I heard that there will be important edicts promulgated.
'Quick, quick, don't delay. The man is in a hurry, he is just a nine-grade hemp official, if he delays the court meeting, the supervising imperial history will not let him go. There was a period of chaos, the man set off, he was not the first, he went out, looked ahead, and could see that there were many people and horses, and it had passed.
In Daming Palace, Li Chen is passing through the upper right pavilion door. Li Chen watched with interest. This is not very famous, but you must know an allusion. Entering the cabinet refers to this upper cabinet door.
The Tang Dynasty will be divided into three classes, and the people who participate are different. The first is the Great Pilgrimage. Held on the first day and the winter solstice, this is the most solemn ceremony. The participants included princes and relatives, civil and military officials above the nine grades in Beijing, local envoys, and some other dynasties, such as the descendants of the Zhou Sui dynasty, the guest envoys of the Fan State, etc...
The ceremony is the grandest, the most pompous, whether it is a courtier or an emperor, they must wear the most gorgeous court clothes and attend in full costume. After the emperor accepted the visits of the ministers and envoys, he also took care of a meal.
This ritual theory was held in the Hanyuan Hall. Theoretically... Originally, this kind of grand ceremony should have been in Taiji Palace. After the completion of the Daming Palace of Gaozong, it was changed to the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace. However, in the late Tang Dynasty... It has been changed to the Xuanzheng Hall further back. Therefore, Yang Er would be sad that day, not for nothing.
After the Great Dynasty Meeting, it was the Shuowang Dynasty. It is held on the first and fifteenth day of each month. The people who participate are a little simpler, and anyone who is above the Kyoji Jiupin civil and military ministry can participate, or in other words, must participate.
Just like today, all the family members of officials and officials in Beijing are busy. Before dawn, many families stirred up the lights and waited for the master's house to go to court.
Finally, it's the pilgrimage. The court participation is a normal court meeting, usually only officials of the fifth rank or above, and officials with important duties participate. Therefore, the number of people who can participate is small, and it is usually held in the Zichen Hall.
Unlike the previous two ceremonial pilgrimages, this one is the one that really matters, and everything is discussed here.
Therefore, the officials who can enter here to participate in the discussion can be regarded as truly entering the decision-making circle of Datang and becoming a member of it. This act of being promoted to join the Zichen Hall is called entering the cabinet.
So after talking for a long time, what does this cabinet have to do with the left and right cabinet doors? In fact, the pavilion refers to the two left and right pavilion doors.
Because of the Xuanzheng Hall as the boundary, a city wall divides the Daming Palace into the north and south. Miyagi to the north and Imperial Castle to the south. The north is the inner dynasty, while the south is the outer dynasty. The Xuanzheng Hall belongs to the inner court, and if you want to enter the palace, you have to enter through the upper cabinet door on the left and right.
You can imagine how envied, jealous, and hated when one day you were promoted to a position where you could participate in political affairs, when the Shuowang Dynasty was over, and the emperor still had something to discuss, and you swaggered in front of hundreds of colleagues.
Thinking of this, Li Chen smirked, and said jokingly to his father-in-law, "I don't know why everyone is laughing?" "Heh, I thought that there are so many walls in my house, and I am not afraid of thieves sneaking in." Li Chen said a stupid reason to deal with it.
In fact, he thought of the evolution of China's power from this wall. It's not complicated, it's nothing more than the inner dynasty becomes the outer dynasty, and the outer dynasty is left out in the cold.
From the ancient Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, to the Tang Dynasty Three Provinces and Six Ministries, the Ming Dynasty abolished the six ministries and appeared in the cabinet, and the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Manchu Qing Military Aircraft Department. These changes, to put it bluntly, are a truth, the emperor is centralizing power.
In fact, the evolution of various powers in the past dynasties is nothing more than the new emperor ascending the throne, and he can't urinate in the same pot as the old ministers, so he found some close ministers and reorganized a decision-making center. Then it was imitated by the emperors of later generations, and it became a regular system.
Then, there is a change of rights, these new positions become positions of real power, and the old positions are left out in the cold. Then the dynasty was changed, and a new dynasty was established, imitating the previous generation to set up various officials. The previous act was repeated, the new position was united around the emperor and became a new decision-making center, and the original new position became the old position, and the original old position withdrew from the stage of history.
The evolution of the so-called monarchy and the relative power is just that. It has always been a monarchy, a centralized power, and it has not changed for thousands of years. The reason why the father of the nation is Sun Yat-sen is probably because his five-power constitution is so amazing, and no one in Chinese history has ever thought or dared to divide the rights in this way.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the great ones were all about questioning the monarchy. But no one thought that the rights could be split like this. But you can actually rest assured that such a thing in China is just amazing, and it has never really been implemented. In the midst of his thoughts, the Xuanzheng Hall arrived.
The ministers have been under the leadership of the supervising imperial history, and the officials are in place in the palace according to their ranks, and the atmosphere is serious, just wait for the emperor to appear, and when Li Chen is seated, they will salute.
In the grand voice of the eunuch, Li Chen entered the Zichen Palace, and for a while, the minister, who had not squinted, all focused on Li Chen, who walked in. It doesn't matter what you can see, or what you can't see on tiptoe, even the imperial history that should be correcting the style and discipline is no exception.
From a distance, the new emperor walked like a tiger, with a burly figure and quite extraordinary. However, as soon as he got closer, he looked around stupidly, as if Tian Shenu had entered the city, and saw that everything was fresh. The ministers sighed, stupid emperor....
This eunuch also had a loud voice. No matter how disappointed the courtiers were, Li Chen really saw it very fresh, just the eunuch who came in with a loud voice was fresh.
Stepping into the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Chen looked around, the width of this hall was very ordinary in Li Chen's opinion, but it was quite deep, although it was not as good as Li Chen imagined, the emperor was on the dragon throne, and there was a large row at the bottom, and the ministers could not see the end from the beginning, but there were a lot of people, and the ministers stood in several rows and looked neat.
If you really want to see such a scene, you want to open the Hanyuan Palace, and the pomp and circumstance over there is even greater, but as I just mentioned, Datang really rarely opens there now.
And if it was just the emperor and Zaifu discussing things, the number of people would be smaller, and it would be in Yeonying Palace, that is, many chapters ago, Yeonying was right. The Yanying Hall is very small, and Li Chen has gone in to see it, but it is not like the dragon throne that is now on the third floor and the ninth order, just one layer, and it seems that the relationship between the monarch and the minister is closer.
Sitting on the dragon chair, sitting on the dragon chair, the ministers finished saluting, and then began today's court meeting. First of all, let **** Zhen read out the edict, canonized several beauties around him, and his sons all of them, and didn't care about anything.
His Yuan match, Chao's family, was not named the queen, but was named a virtuous concubine. Xiaohong and Su Xiaoxiao were both named beauties, and Yang Er was named Zhaoyi. His eldest son, Li Kuo, was also crowned King Yun. Next, Li Chen had to watch everything as a play. What a big show.
Next, the waiter took the edict from the **** Zhen, shouted 'system', and began to read it. After reading it, the ministers below were excited. The personnel of the imperial court was blown by the strong wind, and the prime minister Li Deyu was demoted. Li Deyu has been a prime minister for many years and has a good reputation in the DPRK, and as soon as this edict came out, all the officials in the government and the opposition were shocked.
Li Deyu was demoted, and his position was naturally taken over, and Bai Minzhong, the squire of the Ministry of War, was promoted to the Pingzhangshi of the Tongzhongshu Sect, and was reappointed as the Zhongshu Shilang, and also the secretary of the Criminal Department.
This was followed by a flurry of recalls and promotions. Regarded as Li Deyu's fellow party, the salt and iron transshipment made Xue Yuansheng degraded to the history of Zhongzhou Thorn, and his emperor Jingzhao Shaoyin Xue Yuangui was the Yazhou Sihu. Then many of the Bull Party figures who had been ousted during the Li Party period rose up one after another. The courtiers couldn't help but exclaim, it seems that the resurgence of this bull party is unstoppable, and their own family should change their court as soon as possible.
Li Chen looked at the courtiers below, with colorful expressions, which was very exciting. He focused on observing Li Deyu and wanted to see how he reacted to being sent out of the town from a position under one person and above ten thousand people, although the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu is also an important position, but how can it be compared with the prime minister.
After reading it, he nodded secretly, worthy of a generation of virtuous ministers, although at first glance, he was a little disappointed. However, it only took a while to return to normal, and when he heard that he had suppressed the bull party in the DPRK, he didn't react much. It doesn't seem to be his business. I know that although he can't accept it in his heart, he also calmly accepts this change.
Next, he looked at the people who had been unusually promoted, and it was funny to see that many of them suddenly became arrogant. However, not everyone, like that Bai Minzhong, his cultivation is not bad, he is not too carried away, and he is worthy of being Bai Juyi's younger brother.
That's right, this Bai Minzhong is Bai Juyi's younger brother. Although he was promoted by Li Deyu, he was not considered a Li Party, he was counted as a bull party, and his resurgence was thought by many people to be a symbol of the revival of the bull party.
Huh, revival? Is it possible? As a traveler, he knew that the party was fighting fiercely, and he didn't have any idea of reviving the bull party. Let those people guess.
Li Chen suddenly had a feeling that Jian Zaidi had experienced. Originally, in the TV series, those ministers desperately guessed the meaning of the emperor in order to be motivated.
Now, he has changed from a spectator to an object of conjecture. This feels... Tao Taoran, is this what it is like to have rights? (To be continued.) )
