readx; Lin De Hall of Daming Palace, here is the office of the Tang Emperor in the inner palace, and now it has been changed to the place where the young emperor Li Shi studies and lives, the day is just bright, the empress dowager Shen Pearl walked into the hall surrounded by dozens of palace female eunuchs, today is the first time her son went to the court and said, Shen Pearl is particularly concerned, since Wu Zetian, the Tang Dynasty has a very strict control over the harem politics, if the young emperor ascends the throne, he would rather implement the supervision system than engage in the curtain to listen to the government, so Shen Pearl is not qualified to go to the court.

Shen Pearl walked into the main hall and saw that the hall was busy, so he asked, "Has the emperor freshened up?" ”

A eunuch said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the saint has already freshened up and is changing his court clothes." ”

"I'll go see him."

Shen Pearl walked into the inner hall, and a eunuch was about to announce loudly, but Shen Pearl waved his hand and ordered him not to make a sound, she quietly walked to the door and leaned over to look into the house.

Her son, the young son of heaven Li Shi is sitting on an embroidered pier, the court clothes have been worn, wearing a crown of heaven, wearing an embroidered dragon crown, and a jade belt around his waist, looking very energetic, but Li Shi's face is not very good, his two fists are clenched tightly, and his eyes are faintly flashing with anger.

Shen Pearl understood in her heart, she sighed secretly, the day before yesterday, there was a saying quietly passed into the palace, saying that her husband Li Yu was actually poisoned by the Emperor Taishang, Li Shi heard the news, so he immediately came to her, at first she didn't believe it at all, tiger poison does not eat children, she can't imagine that her father can poison his son ruthlessly, although Li Longji has killed four or five sons, but she doesn't believe that her husband was killed by the Emperor.

But when they questioned the eunuch who collected the funeral for their father and the two guards who were present at the time, the truth gradually surfaced, their husband and father were really poisoned, although there is no evidence, but the murderer pointed directly at the emperor.

After getting this truth, their mother and son hugged their heads and cried, but because of Li Heng's power, they had to hide this heartbreak in their hearts and pursue the truth of their father's death when Li Shi became an adult.

Shen Pearl walked in slowly and said softly: "Today is the emperor's last court, you should think more about national affairs, not other things." ”

"Queen Mother!"

When Li Shi saw his mother come in, he hurriedly got up, looked at his mother's slightly reproachful gaze, and lowered his head gloomily.

"The kid doesn't want to see that person."

Shen Pearl carefully put on his son's crown of heaven and comforted him: "Although you are still a teenager, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the king of a country, and you don't want to see many people in the world, but this is not up to you, many people you must see, you don't let your father's spirit in the sky be disappointed in you." ”

Li Shi nodded silently, "The child understands, and he will not disappoint his father." ”

"That's right, go early, don't keep the ministers waiting."

"The boy went first."

Li Shi saluted, and then under the escort of dozens of guards, he went to the Hanyuan Hall of the front palace, Shen Pearl looked at her son's thin back, her heart twitched, once she knew the truth, there were still so many years, I don't know how the emperor could survive.

．．．．．．．．． With the ringing of the third bell, the August court meeting finally kicked off, more than 3,000 officials of all sizes lined up in front of Longwei Road in a long two-column line, Pei Min and Wang Heng, the left and right ministers of the Tang Dynasty, each stood at the front of the line, holding the wat in their hands, standing solemnly.

Today's court meeting master of ceremonies is Cui Xu, the young eunuch in the palace, and the four palace attendants are responsible for supervising the etiquette of hundreds of officials. ”

Lux shouted: "The hour has come, and hundreds of officials have entered the palace!" ”

The two teams began to walk along the dragon tail road towards the Hanyuan hall, silent and silent, only the rustle of walking under their boots was heard.

Hanyuan hall is enough to accommodate 10,000 people, is the first hall of the Tang Dynasty and even the world, located on the dragon head plain, magnificent, broad and far-reaching, people walk in the hall seems extraordinarily small, this is why Li Longji never forgets the reason for the Hanyuan Palace, only the Hanyuan Hall appears to be condescending and majestic.

Hanyuan Hall has been arranged, nearly 100 seats are placed in the front two rows, this is for the seats of officials from the third grade or above, from the third grade or above, they are lined up and stand in the back according to the temple, and these seats are not casually sitting, they are very particular, almost every ministry official has a loose official grade, and some high-ranking officials also have a title, generally starting from the rank of the knighthood, and then comparing the rank of the scattered official, and finally comparing the official rank.

So the first person on the right is the seat of Li Qing'an, the king of Zhao, the first person on the left is not Pei Min, the right minister, but the Taishi Zhang Yun, followed by Pei Min, Wang Heng and others, and Li Heng's seat is above the jade steps, under the throne, long ago when Li Heng was the crown prince, he sat in this seat, and now his identity has been changed to the regent of the prison country.

Li Heng was already sitting, he smiled and nodded to Li Qing'an, it was a greeting, Li Qing'an also leaned over and smiled at him, they were far away, and they couldn't communicate.

Li Shi has not yet come, there is a sound of whispering in the hall, all of them are discussing today's topic, immigration and the construction of Tang Zhidao Everyone is not interested, they are concerned about today's personnel changes, although the court proposal issued last night is very brief, but many people still guessed some vacant positions to be filled today.

The right squire of the Ministry of War, the left squire of the Ministry of Works, the right squire of Shangshu, Jing Zhaoyin, these four official positions, the original Jing Zhaoyin is the most eye-catching, this is from the three high-ranking officials, Pei Yaoqing, Yang Guozhong, these powerful ministers have served as Jing Zhaoyin, but now this position has become a chicken rib position, the Guanzhong Army and the Anxi Army will divide Guanzhong into two, Chang'an City is controlled by Jin Wuwei and Qianniuwei, Jing Zhaoyin's power has actually been hollowed out, anything happens Jing Zhaoyin must first discuss with the army, he has no right to dispose of it at all, So for this position, most of the court officials don't care, they are concerned about the other three vacancies, whether they are won by the Zhao Wang Party or the Jianguo Party.

The Tang Dynasty has always had a tradition of partisan contention, the former Xiangguo Party, the Donggong Party, the Yang Party, etc., and now the imperial court is basically divided into four major factions, the two largest factions are the Zhao Wang Party and the Jianguo Party, the two factions each occupy half of the seats in the political hall, and the power in the imperial court is also evenly matched.

In addition, there are also Zhang Dang and the Royalist Party, Zhang Dang is Zhang Yun's power, his family, the old Xiangguo Zhang said that the protégé is old, etc., although the Zhang Party is not very powerful, but the loyalty is very high, and it is rarely bribed.

Contrary to the strict loyalty of the Zhang Party, the royalist party is quite loose, they are actually centrists, the three factions do not participate, support the emperor Li Shi, they have no leader, no organization, basically they are all in their own positions, mainly Guo Ziyi's Guan Nei Shuo Fang Army, An Baozhen's Yulin Army, as well as Lu, Wei, Changsun and other major families and some clans that did not take refuge in Li Longji, due to the short time of the formation of the two factions of King Zhao and Jian Guo, many people did not have time to consider their own positioning, so the number is quite large, Collectively known as the Loyalists.

Therefore, the royalist party is also the focus of contention between the two factions of King Zhao and Jianguo, the Wei Jiansu incident that occurred half a month ago, its essence is the power struggle for the centrists, Li Qing'an has temporarily fallen behind, since Wei Jiansu was arrested in the Pei family, many families who want to take refuge in Li Qing'an have taken a step back, and changed to observe the situation, the most typical is the Lu family, and the Lu brothers have never looked for Li Qing'an again.

Many clear-minded people have realized that today's court meeting is very likely to be the main battlefield of the power war between Li Qing'an and Li Heng, and the fuse of the war is the competition for the three positions of the right attendant of the military department, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, and the right secretary of Shangshu.

'When! A bell rang on the side of the hall, and a wrestler shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and the hundred officials are silent." ”

More than 100 high-ranking officials sitting in the front row stood up one after another, Li Heng also stood up, the hall was silent, and all the officials were facing the dragon position.

A team of palace guards holding gold melons and silver Yue walked in, lined up on both sides of the hall, followed by a team of eunuchs walked in, they held gold plates in their hands, standing on both sides of the jade steps, and finally, the young Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shi walked into the hall from the side door surrounded by sixteen palace maids.

Li Shi took a deep breath, calmed down the tension in his heart, and sat down, he didn't speak at the previous enthronement ceremony, but he had to speak at today's court meeting, and his heart was pounding with nervousness.

At this time, the three thousand court officials bowed together and saluted, "The ministers see Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live!" ”

Li Heng's somewhat hoarse voice reached Li Shi's ears, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw Li Heng, the emperor's grandfather, who was standing twenty steps away.

A bitter hatred suddenly rose from his heart, this hatred replaced the tension in his heart, he seemed to see the pain of his father's poison, the struggle before death, he once asked the eunuch who collected his father's body, his father's death was bleeding from the seven orifices, and it was very likely that even the intestines were poisoned, and the pain was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Thinking of the tragic death of his father, the grief of losing his father and the bitter hatred for the enemy in front of him made Li Shi's whole body tremble slightly.

At this time, Li Heng also looked at him, Li Shi's eyes were slightly closed, so that Li Heng did not see the irrepressible fire of hatred in his eyes, Li Heng also thought that Li Shi was nervous, so he smiled and reminded him in a low voice: "Grandson has accepted the congratulations." ”

Li Shi suddenly woke up, this is not a place to show hatred, his hatred can only be left for later, at this moment Li Shi suddenly matured, he hid his deep hatred in his heart, smiled slightly, and said to the hundred officials: "Everyone Aiqing is free of courtesy!" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree, and all officials are exempt from courtesy."

Hundreds of officials returned to their positions one after another, and more than 100 high-ranking officials sat down, and then another bell rang, and the court meeting officially began.
