On the day after the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, that is, on the sixth day of the ninth month, the Great Dynasty Meeting was held as planned.

In Li You's eyes, the specifications of this court meeting are higher than the Jinghe New Year's Day Dynasty in the eighth year of Jinghe, and according to Zhu Bulang, it is second only to the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven of Huangjimen. Everyone knows that the great dynasty on the sixth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Jinghe is the true son of Jinghe.

There is also one of the most unusual things about this dynasty, that is, the opening of the Imperial Palace. Jinghe Tianzi's palace looks at the court, and the capital's large and small civil and military forces pass through the Huangji Gate to congratulate the Son of Heaven.

Li You, the imperial envoy of the right side of the school, was arrested to serve as a proclamatory official, and at the same time, he was also placed on an errand to correct the imperial history, so he also went to the palace to participate in the court. And the position is still very high, between the Zhongshu Hanlin attendants and the courtiers' phalanx.

From the end of the seventh year of Jinghe to the beginning of the eighth year of Jinghe, Master Li, who was then Shangbao Sicheng and a member of the Zhongshu House, served as the guide of the court, and stood closer to Tianyan for three months. It's not a stranger to the current meeting, and it's not stage fright.

Otherwise, on this important occasion, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple would not dare to easily use Li You as an errand officer, and it would be unlucky to smash the pot. However, Li You once again stood at the forefront of the Great Dynasty Meeting, recalling the past, and it was inevitable to sigh with emotion.

Other things have little to do with Li You, just dancing and worshipping the mountain with the flow of the throne in the hall. In addition, as the imperial history of correction, under the eagle eye of Lord Li, no one dared to lose his honor in front of the monarch in the solemn atmosphere. However, one of the waiters seemed to cough, but he didn't make a sound, and was let go by Master Li with one eye open and one eye closed.

When it came to the edict link, it was Lord Li's turn to prepare to appear. At this time, the edicts were mostly symbolic than practical, and they can be called the originator of advertorials.

However, there are two conventions that have some practical effect. One is the amnesty of the world, and Lord Li, who is biased towards heavy, fast and strict law enforcement, is quite slanderous about this; The other is to commend those who have made outstanding achievements in the prefectures and counties of the world, and among the twenty is Jiangdu County under the rule of Li You.

It's a pity that Master Li has been promoted to Beijing ahead of schedule because of the special circumstances of Yangzhou Mansion, and this time he has basically received no reward. There is a narrative in the reward, which can only be used as a vase to look at, and it is impossible to have another promotion for this; There is also an increase in the reward. It is an ethereal existence. He was already a food product with a thousand stones of income last year, where else can he add it? Besides, so far, the more money you have, the more you lose.

In a word, when he was punished in the past, Li You didn't feel much about it, and it was only one hundred and ten taels a year, but since he got a pint of Lu for the merit of the ancestral tomb, the punishment still hurt him a lot.

Each edict is pronounced by a different candidate. The form of the edict is also different. There is an edict of Hanlin. There are those who announce the edict in Shangshu, those who announce it in front of the courtiers in the imperial palace, and those who announce it at noon. There are also those who climb the gate of heaven.

The edict that should be given to the vassal was released, and the angel Li, who was jointly launched by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, made a grand appearance.

On the side of the throne of the Son of Heaven there is a royal case, and the brocade guard officer picks up the edict from the imperial case. Li You stepped forward respectfully, and the Jinyi guard sent the edict to Li You.

Immediately, Li Baixian held the edict in his hand and slowly walked out of the palace, and more than ten vassal envoys were already waiting for His Royal Highness.

The pilgrimage meeting began early in the morning, and by this time the sun was rising and the golden light was shining. His Royal Highness's envoy raised his eyes and looked up, and saw the angel of the edict coming out of the palace, high in the brilliant sunlight, extremely dazzling.

I saw that he was tall and beautiful. It was a wide and heavy court dress, and he wore it on him, showing a bit of slender and free taste, and his appearance was also extraordinary. There was also a gust of autumn wind sweeping, and the sleeves of the scarlet robe fluttered, like a fairy among the gods, which made the envoys stunned for a while.

Hearing the shouting of the salute next to him, the envoys of the vassal kingdom came to their senses and knelt down in unison to receive the order. It's like training beforehand. ..., Li You stood tall and swept below, some of these envoys came specifically for the pilgrimage, and some happened to encounter today's events during the pilgrimage, and all of them were pulled to strengthen the façade.

He thought in his head. Not slowing down, he unfolded the edict and began to read it aloud. "The country is remote and remote. The world cultivator pays tribute, and he is the ancestor of the emperor, and is called the state of etiquette and righteousness......"

“…… Be careful in the matter, Gong Cheng Xian's great cause, and strengthen my barrier. His life, the monarchy, and the eternal struggle for servants. Therefore, it is hereby decreed that the salty envoy will know about it! ”

In the eyes of the traverser, the content of this edict is really overbearing, like the instruction of the father to the son, and it definitely does not conform to the five basic principles. But at the moment, it's a very common tone, and it's strange not to write like that.

However, although there are many vassals on the books of the Ming Dynasty, and the countries that can be named around are basically included, there are only three countries that are actually really like the relationship between Lao Tzu and his son, Korea, Ryukyu and Annam. The rest are loosely very...

The edict in front of the palace is only a formality, and the real edict must be issued by hand. After announcing the edict, Li Angel led the envoys into the palace to thank him, and so far his task today was successfully completed. And won high praise from Honglu Siqing, claiming that he would definitely look for him if there was something similar in the future.

After the end of the court meeting, the Son of Heaven held a court meeting in the Imperial Wenhua Palace, and the minister was relieved to see this.

Nowadays, the court meeting is basically a ceremonial ceremony, without a decision-making function, and the decision-making mode of the dynasty is extremely diverse, which is very rich in the personal color of the Son of Heaven. There are diligent emperors who look at the dynasty every day, lazy emperors who have not seen ministers for decades, and playful emperors who are all lost to the celebrant and the cabinet, and all kinds of situations.

On the first day of the pro-government, the court meeting was held, which can be regarded as a political expression, indicating that His Majesty will continue the model of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and discuss politics in the mode of the small court meeting after the big court meeting.

The reason why the minister breathed a sigh of relief was that he could see His Majesty at least once every three or five days, so that the palace gate would not be deep and the sky would be difficult to see. Otherwise, it is all up to the inner prison to spread the word in the middle, and everyone understands the consequences of the Holy Monarch being deceived.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to summon the ministers, Jiuqing, ministers of three grades or above in various ministries and academies, shift Hanlin, Zhangke, and Zhangdao to gather in the Wenhua Palace, in addition to the Zuo Governor of the Five Mansions.

The front is not unusual, and the left governor of the five prefectures in the back makes the government and the opposition look sideways, everyone knows that the five prefectures are the traditional positions of the noble class, and the governors of the five prefectures are the highest military positions in the first grade. It is very meaningful to participate in this time.

This time it was really a court meeting, but the name was still summoned, and as Li You had predicted in advance, the minister had no reason to prevent the Son of Heaven from summoning Xungui.

The first meeting of the monarchs and ministers personally led by Jing and the Son of Heaven began, but unfortunately at this historic moment, Li You was not qualified to participate and returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In fact, there is only one important part of today's court discussion, and all ministries and institutes take turns to report their own affairs to the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven, who has been away from Beijing for several months for the first time, is familiar with the situation.

Jing and Tianzi did not look tired at all, but were full of interest.

After the six parts have been played, it is time to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Jiang Xinyue, the imperial historian of the left capital, briefly talked about the recent official affairs in the court, and mentioned a few words about the Lianghuai Yuyan case presided over by Li You.

This attracted the attention of the Son of Heaven, and he blurted out a question: "When I left Beijing, I heard that this case happened, which can be called a shock to the government and the opposition, and it has been several months now, and the law department has not closed the case?" ”

The Son of Heaven asked too straightforwardly, but this matter could not be said in too detail, Xu Shoufu, Peng Gelao, Wei Guogong, and the Governor of the Chinese Army, Zuo Du Xu, were all standing in the hall. Jiang Zongxian was speechless and faceless, so he could only kowtow and say: "The minister is incompetent." ”

Yuan Ge, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, didn't want to see his own people embarrassed, and he was worried that the Son of Heaven would give him any punishment, so Jiang Zongxian would really fall for eight lifetimes, and hurriedly played on the side: "This case is serious, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not dare to specialize, and I also want to wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing." Moreover, this matter has been handed over to Li You, the right hand of the school, and everyone else wants to avoid suspicion, and His Majesty can directly ask Li You. Shoufu Xu Yue suddenly said: "Yesterday, Li Youfa revealed the post to the cabinet and asked the court to investigate the case. ”

The so-called court trial, that is, the court trial, as the name suggests, is the court courtier's public trial, which is the highest level of trial in the country, more than the three divisions of the trial, higher than the independent trial of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Like Tingtui, Tingtui is also a variant developed by Tingtui, and the form is very similar, probably only the content is different.

When the ministers in the palace heard the word Ting, they all thought that this was an attempt by Li You or the Metropolitan Procuratorate to evade responsibility. Is there any unclear facts in this case that need to be confronted by the court? It is only right that the Metropolitan Procuratorate made a quick judgment, petitioned the cabinet to read it, and sent it to the Son of Heaven for approval.

However, from a practical point of view, the court shackle also has the benefits of the court sheath, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to avoid Li You's dark box operation, and the ministers were undecided for a while. Immediately, Yushi jumped out and impeached Li You for prevarication and deliberate dereliction of duty.

The Son of Heaven was noncommittal about this impeachment, and pondered silently for a moment. That Lord Li's performance in Yangzhou can be said to have left a deep impression on him, and now looking back on this person, it seems that he is definitely not afraid of the powerful, brave in doing things, strong and decisive, and daring, how can it not be related to the words prevarication and delay, and evasion of responsibility.

In the end, the Son of Heaven said: "Permission to court is still presided over by Li You, and the princes in the palace will be present tomorrow to do the same." The result of the court is replayed with me. ”

The Lianghuai Yuyan case is discussed today, and the ministers are still reporting their own reports. Xu Shoufu said: "The second assistant of the cabinet is vacant, how to fill it, I respectfully ask the holy judge." ”

For this most important event, the Son of Heaven already had a case, and immediately issued an edict: "Tomorrow, you Qing and others will gather in the court, and then they will promote a member of the cabinet and make a decision with me." ”

Xu Shoufu reported the absence of the second assistant, but the Son of Heaven issued an order to promote the cabinet ministers, who in the Guanguan Palace did not understand?

It is clear that the Son of Heaven intended to gather the number of cabinet members through the minister's court push, and made the attitude of a letter to the minister, and occupied the initiative. Then, according to the results of this court push, the order of slaughter and auxiliary will be adjusted according to the principle in mind.

The most important thing to speculate about the emperor's mind is to guess what his latest principles are, whether he wants to support one family, or whether he wants to maintain a balance between all parties? And this principle is often a lot of changes.

Tomorrow looks like it's going to be exciting... After the court disbanded, the ministers left the palace with a dark cloud on their hearts. In fact, the two edicts of the Son of Heaven are very normal, and the court push and the court are common things in the court, but the problem is that Li You makes it difficult for everyone to guess, and no one can guess what his plans are.
