Chapter 30: The Deliberations of the Court

Five points of the first update, welcome everyone to order the first support.

"Can you tell me more about the structure of the waterwheel?" The eldest grandson asked.

It's a pity that the eldest grandson is blind to ask the question, as a senior ruffian who can't read a basket of big characters, if Ma San knew the specific structure of this waterwheel, he would not have done this thing of guarding the city gate a long time ago.

Although this guarding the city gate was a certain punitive measure for Su Dingfang, but in the Tang Dynasty, where the literacy rate was less than five percent, the level of those who could read and go to the battlefield and survived in the end was not low.

The eldest grandson didn't get a specific answer, but it was expected.

The problem has been identified, and the road is off to a good start.

The eldest grandson felt that this was not a problem that Shuo Fang could solve, and if he used official documents, he might not be able to solve it in the past three years and five years.

At this time, the procedure is generally as follows: the county order will deliver the official documents to the state capital, and the state government will wait for a period of time to deliver the unsolvable ones to the six ministries, and if the six ministries cannot solve them, the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province will come up with an idea, and if they can't solve it, they will draw up a charter and submit it to the Holy Judge.

Don't think it's troublesome, it's already very good to be able to hand it over, and generally there are only one or two out of ten thousand who can go to the step of the Holy Judgment, and even fewer can solve it, and half a year has passed at the fastest time to complete this procedure.

Do you think I can't play it directly?

This is really not good, when it comes to Zhongshu Province, the one who has crossed the level will be directly taken and burned, which is still the responsibility of others.

This is a bureaucratic system that has been formed in China for thousands of years, and there is a certain reason for doing so for so many years, especially in the early and early middle of the dynasties, and this system played a good purpose.

However, with the aging of the dynasty, the system has not changed accordingly, and various problems will naturally arise.

So in many cases, it is not the system itself that is problematic, but the executor of the system.

The eldest grandson decided to go back to Chang'an to settle the matter.

When he came, because he had to investigate the conditions along the way, he walked an inverted "C" shaped route, first to the east, then to the north, and finally to the west.

This time, in order to be in a hurry, he went all the way south, and it only took eight days to rush back to Chang'an City from Shuofang.

When I returned to Chang'an, I visited the bigwigs first as usual.

Naturally, this includes his own cheap daddy and grandson Wuji, and he will be the first to visit.

This feeling is very strange, but the eldest grandson has to do it.

Coming to the Zhao Guogong Mansion again, the eldest grandson saw that the mansion was full of joy when he saw that it was far busier than usual, and then he reacted that his cheap eldest brother was going to marry Princess Changle.

It was the eldest grandson who went back and got some gifts, this time it was mainly based on curiosities from all over the world.

When he saw Dou, he presented the gift, and said some words before leaving.

"Father, I'm back." Every time he faces the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson's mood is always very complicated. Especially when I see it once, I feel a little older, and this mood can be described as mixed.

"Well, what did you gain from this two-month outing? Your eldest brother is about to get married, so you don't have to leave recently. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't look up, but there were tears in his eyes.

No matter how successful a parent is in his career, his heart is always soft in front of his children.

"Well, no matter what, I'll wait until my eldest brother gets married before leaving. Is there anything I can help with here? The eldest grandson asked.

"What can you help with, it's almost done, just wait for the ceremony in six days."

The eldest grandson didn't say anything about the waterwheel, so now try not to cause trouble, just wait for the wedding to come later.

The eldest grandson retreated.

At this time, in the Ganlu Palace, His Majesty Li Er was discussing the marriage of Princess Changle.

"Everyone, today we will not talk about state affairs, but about the marriage etiquette of Changle." His Majesty Li Er set the theme of this meeting.

"This is a family matter for Your Majesty, and it can be decided by Your Majesty's words." Fang Xuanling didn't want to get involved in these things.

"No, the emperor has no family affairs, and this matter is also a major event in the imperial court." Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, said that he, as a member of the royal family, was also the actual executor of this marriage.

The meeting was attended by Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo, Wang Qi and Li Xiaogong, as well as Wei Ting.

This eldest grandson Wuji naturally will not and cannot participate, and there is one person who did not participate is Wei Zheng.

"It's a good old practice." Wen Yanbo said.

"This Princess Yongjia has not been married for a long time, and she can follow her system." Wang Jue echoed.

"But this Changle is my eldest daughter, and this eldest grandson Chong is also the queen's nephew, isn't this a little thin?" His Majesty Li Er always can't grasp the scale well when facing his children.

"It can be done." Wen Yanbo said loudly that this kind of thing does not involve any fundamentals, so it doesn't matter about principles.

Fang Xuanling didn't say a word, his ears looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Li Xiaogong said.

Wei Ting didn't say anything, he had already admonished for similar things once last year, this time the emperor's intention was very resolute, and he still had this bit of eyesight, but he couldn't say anything as a doctor of the imperial history who seconded the proposal, so he didn't say a word to the student.

"Does this need to be discussed again?" Wang Qi said.

"No need, what is there to discuss about marrying a daughter in the royal family." Li Xiaogong said that his daughter is about to get married, and with the emperor in front of him, this scene will be more pompous.

Rumors spread in Chang'an City. Wei Zheng advised.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Wei Zheng waved to the emperor and sat on the stool brought by the chamberlain, which was also a new style of furniture that had only recently appeared.

"Wei Aiqing has something important?"

"I heard that His Majesty marries Princess Changle and plans to double the number of gifts of Princess Yongjia?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Where did Aiqing come from?" His Majesty Li Er deliberately excluded Wei Zheng in order to prevent Wei Zheng from admonishing, but who knew that Wei Zheng actually came to the door by himself.

"Everyone in the market hears about it."

"Is that happening?" Li Er felt that the question was a little tricky this time.

"In the past, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty wanted to divide the prince's fortune and said, 'How can my son be compared with the son of the first emperor?' Half of the fiefdoms of the king of Chu and the king of Huaiyang were allocated. Now the princess has twice as many escorts as the eldest princess, isn't it too far from the meaning of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty? "This Yongjia is Changle's aunt and Li Er's own sister.

"I already know about this, so you should step back first." His Majesty Li Er's head hurts again.

"Your Majesty, please think again." Wei Zheng was unmoved.

"I know, just do what you want, so it's okay." His Majesty Li Er was also a little helpless.

"Wechen retired." Wei Zheng got up and prepared to leave the palace. (To be continued.) )
