In the early hours of the morning, the night hangs on the royal street, Zhang Yue took a car all the way to the square in front of the Xuande Gate, the tall lanterns on the Xuande Tower illuminated widely and brightly, and the officials who got up early in the court had lined up in place, waiting for the opening of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City.

Zhang Yue got off at the intersection of Yujie and Liangmen Street, and asked Shen Jingang to park the carriage on the side of the street, if it was too crowded on both sides of the square, it would be very troublesome to catch the car when he came back, he would rather walk a few more steps.

Crossing Liangmen Street, through a three- or four-zhang long white marble arch bridge, you will enter the wide square, and you will see Li Hui, Zhang Jianxiong, He Jiyun, the three marshals, as well as Xuan Chongwen, Zong Jingcheng and other more than a dozen generals of the Western Expedition camp are gathering together to greet each other.

"You're early! Is it still comfortable to live in Honglu Temple Post House? Zhang Yue stepped forward and greeted him with a smile and arched his hand.

"Hey! It's better than camping in the wilderness on the march, the night is hot and dry, and there are the same number of mosquitoes...... If you are empty, you still have to buy a house and settle down in Tokyo! Liu Xinfa replied with a smile.

"That's right! What kind of house do you want? If the requirements are not too high, I have a few old houses, if you can see it, you can just move in. Zhang Yue only has an old house on Zhouqiao South Street, and he asked Yang Wan to buy the rest in advance, and specially arranged for several generals such as Xuan Chongwen, Liu Xinfa, Sun Yanshou, Zong Jingcheng, and Xue Wenqian, who have recently built festivals or served as local governors. After all, the official position is high, and the family must stay in Tokyo.

"That's a good idea! The captain is thoughtful, but I'll be disrespectful! Liu Xinfa smiled and thanked him.

It is not the same to have an honorary title and seal, this is a symbol of seniority and meritorious service, and the officials are called Tai Lieutenant when they meet, and Zhang Yue is still a little uncomfortable. In fact, in terms of qualifications, Li Hui is also a veteran of two or three dynasties, and his qualifications are much deeper, Zhang Yue didn't want to attract attention, so he asked Li Hui to go ahead, and he and Zhang Jianxiong, He Jiyun and others kept up, I didn't want Li Hui to live or die, and humbly shirked it, Zhang Yue persuaded him to go in front.

Just to the front of the line, the Xuande Gate opened, hundreds of Beijing officials lined up in a long line slowly entered, until the Xuande Gate, Mingde Gate, Xuanyou Gate before entering the Great Interior, in the palace on duty under the guidance of the imperial history and eunuchs into the Jinxiang Palace, and then each according to the rank of the seat.

The Chang Dynasty is all officials of the fifth rank or above, and the seat arrangement is divided into left and right, facing the emperor's imperial stairs on the inside, and then there are some officials on both sides who record the affairs of the court, such as the Zhongshu Sheren, the Tongshi Sheren, and the Neishi Sheren, are sitting opposite each other on the left and right.

As a lieutenant who ranks in the first rank, Zhang Yue is fortunate to sit in the front and middle position, and there are three rows in front of him are some old qualifications, plus Situ, Sikong, or the prince of the knighthood, the prince of the county, and the important ministers and marshals of the prince, in short, there is a large number of people dressed in purple robes in front, dark crimson in the middle, and finally light crimson official robes. As for the green-robed and green-robed officials, they have no special affairs, they are not qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty, and they can participate in the Great Dynasty, but they are just following the fart.

Not long after, in the near and far eunuchs sang the promise to pass on, the hall of ritual music sounded, a group of officials stood up to greet each other, the emperor Guo Rong wore a black head, the hard wings behind the hat folded the feet turned up and erected, dressed in the purple silk robe of the dragon pattern, by a group of palace attendants with a guard of honor surrounded by a big stride into the hall, climbed the royal steps and sat on the royal couch.

"Greetings to my emperor! Longevity without borders! All the civil and military officers bowed in unison.

"All the ministers are flat!" Guo Rong was expressionless, said unhurriedly, waved the sleeves of his robe, and sat on the armrest of the royal couch faucet.

"All the ministers have something to do early! Nothing to retreat from! The eunuch always said this sentence the most, and then sure enough, someone came out and said, "The minister has a book!" ”

However, first of all, it is generally the local state and county affairs that have been decided by the Zhongshu Xianggong, no matter how big or small, it must be reported in the early dynasty, and then the Zhongshu Xianggong has not agreed, or is rejected by the servant under the door, and the chapter is submitted to the palace by the Tongshi Sheren, and the emperor Zhu has approved the matter, and then the edict will be issued.

There is also the emperor to stay in the middle, read but not decided, then the ball is kicked back to the ministers to discuss the court, each show the pros and cons, but in the end the power of arbitration is still in the hands of the emperor, after all, it is beneficial to the country but not conducive to the stability of the imperial power is very rare.

This was relatively common in the era of the three-province six-ministry system, and if it was not for the emperor's connivance, it would be difficult to form a powerful minister. Because the officials and ministers were actually divided into two parts, which was conducive to the emperor's arbitration, and also to the lower-level officials and small people.

There are not many major events recently, but just these standing people have been discussing back and forth for more than an hour, it is none of their business, hanging high, Zhang Yue is sitting in the crowd bored, watching the morning light outside the window purlin gradually brighten, and then the sun enters through the window, the morning dynasty is not over, and I don't know what he said.

"The edict is to Yan'an County Gong, the inspector Taiwei, Ju Tejin, Tongping Zhangshi, Jingzhou Jiedu envoy Zhang Yue, enter the right Shenwu general, sign the judgment of Xuanhui North Court, and lead the criminal state Anguo Jiedu envoy."

Zhang Yue has been more sensitive to the word Taiwei recently, and a Ji Ling immediately came back to his senses, raised his head and followed the sound to look, and saw a eunuch standing in front of the side of the imperial stairs reading the edict, and the emperor was smiling and looking at him with blazing eyes, so he immediately got up and went out of the ranks, bowed down and thanked him.

Two or three chamberlains took small steps, holding the edict and the official uniform, boots and hats issued, Zhang Yue took it with both hands, took a few steps back and turned back, and immediately understood that this was the actual envoy of the Xuanhui North Academy, and he received an extra salary from the Anguo Army in the criminal state, but he did not actually go to office.

"A certain town moved to Yongxing Army, Wang Desheng moved to the town of Pizhou, Hou Zhang moved to the town of Jingzhou, and He Hualong moved to the town of Anzhou......" Li Hui sat on the right side of Zhang Yue and reminded in a low voice.

Zhang Yue nodded, Hou Zhang's move to Jingzhou can be said to be the best result, He Jiyun may be transferred to the south to fight Huainan, which is not bad, but he stayed in Beijing, and the chance of going out of the town is not very good.

Next, Songpan Jingluo envoy Zhang Jianxiong, deputy envoy Zhai Congen and others formally thanked him, received official uniforms and sealed letters, and then completed the subordinate officials before he could take office. Then the four marshals of Lanzhou Jianwei Jiedu Xuan Chongwen, Gongzhou Huaixin Jiedu Shi Deyuan, Taozhou Huaide Jiedu Liu Xinfa, and Shanzhou Xining Jiedu Sun Yanshou were all sealed, as well as the official uniform seal of the Fujie in the subordinate states or the military governors.

It was nearly noon on this trip, and under the repeated promise of the eunuchs on duty, no one would read out the emperor's edict afterwards, and the important ministers above the third rank in the court, as well as the meritorious soldiers of the western expedition camp and the Huainan camp went to the side hall to give a banquet.

This number is quite a lot, adding up to two hundred people who have turned to the side hall, and the seats in it have been arranged in rows, still arranged according to rank, and there is no distinction between civil and military.

The eunuchs and chamberlains led the ministers into the table in a group, and when the number of people arrived, they took turns to serve cups, plates, wine cups, dishes and fresh melons and fruits, and there were young and pretty palace maids and chamberlains waiting by the side.

After the emperor retreated, he would go to rest for a while, but before he came out, the generals talked and laughed, and some people actually began to eat and drink very unvividly; The civil officials sat upright, and when they saw the behavior of some military attachés, they frowned but couldn't say anything.

Zhang Yue stepped forward to take a seat, and found that Li Hui and Zhang Jianxiong were still on the left and right, and when he turned around, he saw Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin and others actually sitting in the back row. And Zhao Kuangyin led the Yicheng Festival envoy of Huazhou and the Taibao of the school inspection, and the rank of loose official was higher than Li Chongjin, but he was still under himself, and a sense of superiority suddenly arose in his heart.
