Chapter 167: The First Time I Met You
Han Wang generously invited Hu Hongxiu to have a breakfast, white rice porridge, eggs, fried oil cakes (similar to fried dough sticks), and beef soup. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When the info was close to the fourth watch, several big people in the carriage came one after another, Bai Shizhong, Wang Hao, and finally Cai Jing.
According to the rules, when the prime minister came, it was when the hundred officials entered the inner city, and the forbidden army on the inner city gate tower also slowly opened the city gate. Everyone followed Cai Jing, Bai Shizhong, and Wang Hao through the city gate according to the order, and gathered in front of the palace gate.
So everyone waited again, from the fourth watch to the fifth watch, and the sky was still completely dark. The eunuch of the inner chamberlain was guarding the palace gate with a lantern, and Han Wang, a seventh-grade petty official, was already standing at the end of the queue. It was as if swallowed up by the night.
Because at the gate of the imperial city, there are eunuchs who are in charge of etiquette to supervise, everyone is not noisy, in order to maintain their appearance, everyone stands obediently.
Han Wang is an official who understands this era thoroughly, this is completely masochistic! Standing hard for two hours, much more powerful than Zamabu, could it be said that the dual cultivation of civil and military is a compulsory course for the Great Song Jingguan?
Everyone waited silently in the dark night, and by the faint light of the lanterns around them, Han Wang clearly saw that many of you officials were standing and napping. This kind of technical work is not something that cannot be practiced over time.
Looking up, the night sky of the Great Song Dynasty is bright and bright, without gray suspended particles, and the stars are shining, pure and deep. No matter how clever a painter is, he can't paint the admiration in Han Wang's heart. The occasional meteor that streaked across the night sky flashed away, and Han Wang was busy making a wish to end this inhuman torture as soon as possible.
He is a human being, saves the villagers, brews fine wine, opens a factory, becomes a general, breaks the enemy army, marries a beauty, and now he actually wants to climb the Jinluan Palace, face to face with the eternal Song Huizong, I don't know what kind of scene it will be.
In fact, he has received a lot of benefits from Zhao Ji, and today I have to intuitively judge whether he, the Zhao royal family, is worth rescuing. As early as the day when he became an independent army, he actually had a plan in his heart.
Yanyun's form is complicated, if he preempts the Jurchens to the south, he will conquer and control one or two cities of Yanyun. In the face of such a victory, the emperor would not want to ask the Jurchens for help, and the Jurchens would have no reason to attack the Southern Dynasty in a short time.
Yanyun, a treasure of feng shui, is not restricted by the Song and Jin countries, and if you concentrate on development for a few years, you will be able to have a big harvest. With the topography around Yanjing, there is definitely no problem with self-preservation, as for whether it can sweep the world, it depends on which step you can take.
It's just that I want to be the emperor or not? will be plotted by others all the time, no family affection, no friends! Looking at the night sky and thinking about the future ending, Han Wang felt that there was a huge hand in the underworld, blending himself with the Great Song Dynasty.
After a long wait, the palace door was opened, and the people from the Internal Supervision and Secret Investigation Department came up to search the body, from the hair to the soles of the shoes. Han Wang obviously felt that he had been searched twice, probably the first time he had gone to the temple, and being wary of strangers was the professional habit of the Secret Investigation Division.
Dozens of people were searched, and after the secret investigation department confirmed that there was no security problem, they drew a messenger, and everyone then marched towards the palace city, and finally came to the Civilization Hall of the Chang Dynasty, which is the main location of the early dynasty today.
It was getting closer and closer to the fifth watch, and finally, the sharp voice of the eunuch on duty sounded, "All the ministers are waiting, welcome the official family" Everyone hurriedly arranged and stood up, and the ceremonial eunuchs corrected their positions one by one.
Hearing a burst of drums in the distance, a short time later, a group of people gathered around Zhao Ji, the eighth emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, to the palace.
After Zhao Ji sat down, everyone bowed down together, Han Wang was a little unaccustomed to kneeling and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so he slowed down by half a beat.
The eunuch on duty immediately reprimanded, "Bold, don't you understand etiquette when you meet Your Majesty?" Han Wang had to bow down to show respect.
Zhao Ji also felt strange, and when he saw it again, he was a new face, and when he saw that his grade was only a seventh-grade military attaché, he immediately thought that it was Han Wang of the winning army.
It turned out that this Han Wang was so handsome, with a slender body, extremely short hair, and a little weird, he looked like an interesting person. The Prime Minister is about to report on his affairs, and he doesn't have time to take care of him yet.
After prostration, everyone got up, and the civil and military officials lined up on both sides. The eunuch on duty sang, "The early dynasty begins, and the ministers and workers have their own music!" ”
This is the light of the sky, and with the light, Han Wang can see Zhao Ji's appearance clearly. Medium build, rich appearance, fair skin, excellent maintenance, elegant movements, fluctuating eyes, excellent demeanor.
Zhao Ji wore a crown of heaven on his head, a seven-star robe, and sat on a dragon chair, high on top. Wearing and the incense burner in the cigarette smoke is faint, at first glance, I thought I had arrived at the Xianshan Taoist Temple.
This Daojun Emperor is even more exaggerated than his predecessors, not only is he obsessed with Taoist cultivation, but also sets up a Taoist academy, divides the national Taoist priests into 26 levels, and the state pays salaries. As a result, the number of Taoist priests in the country has increased dramatically, and the annual salary spent on Taoist priests is a huge burden.
Now even Zaochao wears Taoist clothes, and he is really completely addicted to the road of seeking immortality and immortality, and he can't extricate himself. When you become an emperor, you naturally want to live long live, long live, long live, long live, this is understandable, but these illusory affairs cannot hinder the decision-making and implementation of the country's major policies.
When Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, it was the richest period of the entire Song Dynasty, but more than ten years have passed, and now the treasury and inner treasury are empty. Huashigang and Fengying Bureau wantonly looted the people, and the six thieves were bullied and swept the court, and the loyal ministers and good generals withered one after another.
The national politics were unbearable, so that Fang La, Song Jiang, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing were rampant, leading to endless civil strife. Relying on the residual power of the Western Army, they forcibly found Zhao'an or suppressed the uprising, and the Great Song Dynasty was dying.
This period in history is the best of times and the worst of times. At the peak of civilization, the rigid system of the army has been imprisoned beyond measure, and a crisis of national extinction has quietly laid the fuse.
A few years later, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry roared south, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed, and the shortcomings of the literati in charge of the army were undoubtedly revealed. The rulers thought that they could solve the problem by spending some money, and the following year, the Jurchens once again invaded the city, sweeping the world's most civilized imperial capital and the richest royal family back to the north, and the Northern Song Dynasty was overthrown, and the people became slaves.
Han Wang retracted his trance, and couldn't help but lament in his heart, feudal thinking has been thousands of years, and it is almost impossible to make changes on his own. Even if the emperor agrees, the various interest groups below will not agree, because of the conflict of interests, there are not a few emperors who have been killed by the ministers.
In the Hall of Civilization, Cai Jing was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, Ye Luchun, the lord of Northern Liao, is getting sicker, maybe just between the ten months, Northern Liao intends to be a minister of the Great Song Dynasty" Such a powerful news immediately caused the ministers to discuss, like alarming a bunch of flies buzzing and flying.
"This is the Northern Liao is afraid of the Great Song Tianwei, the people's aspirations, the world is in the heart, the old minister congratulates His Majesty, congratulates the world!" Bai Shizhong stepped out of the queue and offered a timely sycophant. Behind him, officials of all sizes praised one after another, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
