The winter in Jinling City has always been a leading role in wet and warm weather, and the snow often falls relatively late, and this year is no exception. Until the day of the Lantern Festival, although it was cloudy for several times, it was mostly light rain or sleet, and at most a few pieces of broken snowflakes were floating. No, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whistling north wind blew and roared for most of the night.

In the middle of the night, on the hazy sky, the crimson clouds became heavier and heavier, and finally the catkins and cotton wool snowflakes fell one after another, at first they were like butterflies slowly drifting away in the wind, but then they became dense, and the snow flakes as big as palms accompanied the north wind rushed wildly. In an instant, whether it is the dragon tower and phoenix, or the shops and pavilions, or the streets and alleys are all covered with silver makeup.

In such weather, dogs don't go out. But at the moment when the snow was tight, there was a sedan chair with a top, stepping on the thick snow, all the way to the noon gate.

A green sedan chair carried by eight people slowly fell, and Qin Minzhong, the head of the household who was dressed in a purple robe and had a jade belt around his waist, walked out.

Everyone knows that this old Shangshu can be said to be the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Qianwei at present, after the fall of Zu Donglai, the phase has been vacant, whether it is qualifications or saints, Qin Minzhong is the best candidate to replace Zu Donglai. In this case, who doesn't want to stammer with the future prime minister?

Qin Minzhong nodded his head and didn't say much, and when he saw Zhao Pu standing in a corner wearing a scarlet official robe, he was glaring in a patch of purple, so he waved at him. Seeing this, Zhao Pu also hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted: "Lord Qin also came so early, your old man is an old man, this cold day is frozen, and the emperor is distressed." ”

Zhao Pu thinks that he has the greatest credit in the process of overthrowing Zu Donglai, but Qin Minzhong's qualifications are incomparable to him, if the emperor wants to choose the new prime minister, nine times out of ten it will be Qin Minzhong, but it seems that he is busy working for Qin Minzhong, so there is a trace of sourness in his words.

Qin Minzhong was a sincere gentleman, and he didn't hear Zhao Pu's words, so he said to himself: "Today is the first great court meeting in the first year of Qianwei, how dare you fall behind?" But Lord Zhao, you are not in the court, how can you ......?"

"Oh, yesterday I received a special order from the emperor, and ordered the officials to accompany the officials above the fourth grade to enter the court to listen to the government." Zhao Pu straightened his back and said.

"In that case, let us wait together."

When the first rays of morning light shone into the palace through the ochre-red window frames made of paulownia wood, Yue'er had already entered Li Guanqi's dormitory, ready to call out. Although Li Guanqi has been married, but because the queen He Bijun is in the filial piety period, and the poisonous oath made by the two on the wedding night, so the two still do not have a round house, and Li Guanqi still lives in the Qinzheng Palace.

Li Guanqi was confused, and was shaken for a long time, before he finally opened his eyelids, saw that it was still pitch black, and muttered: "It's not dawn yet, let me sleep for a while." ”

"It's not early, Your Majesty, it's time to enter the Mao soon. Today is the first big court meeting in the first year of Qianwei, and the emperor can't go late, otherwise he will be laughed at by the ministers. Yue'er knew that Li Guanqi's biggest bad thing was that he liked to sleep lazy, so she didn't give him a chance.

"Damn, it's not five o'clock yet, this little girl is much more ruthless than Xiao Ying, who was originally responsible for calling up, how can Xiao Ying say that she can wait until six o'clock to wake herself up." Li Guanqi scolded Yue'er in his stomach, and at the same time he cheered up and reluctantly left the warm bed. The palace maids who were waiting next to them hurriedly stepped forward to wait for Li Guanqi to get dressed.

Li Guanqi took the hot water, washed his face, took a cup of hot tea poured by Yue'er, took a sip, and said: "The new year must have a new atmosphere, and my main task this year is to change some bad things in the past, and the first thing to change is this early dynasty." ”

"Change to an earlier dynasty? How to change it? Yue'er asked with wide eyes.

Li Guanqi put down the teacup and said: "Extend the time of the early dynasty a little later, the current point is too early, who can have the spirit?" ”

"The emperor is joking with others again." Yue'er replied with a smile, "Since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, the early dynasty is this hour, how can it be said that change will change?" ”

"What doesn't make sense has to change." Li Guanqi laughed loudly, "Originally, if we talked about the imperial power, not long after I first ascended the throne, I should avoid any major moves, and slowly establish absolute prestige in a few years, and after the civil and military officials are convinced, it is not too late to implement reforms." But I couldn't bear the current situation any longer, so I decided to implement a new policy from today's court meeting. ”

"The emperor has such ambitions, and we are also proud to be slaves, and Yue'er wishes the emperor a victory." Yue'er said with big eyes flashing.

Looking at Yue'er's delicate little face, Li Guanqi's heart didn't feel a slight wave. Although Yue'er is not as beautiful and fragrant as Hanyan, nor is she as heroic, lively and cheerful as He Bijun, but it is gentle and gentle, and this gentleness is the best weapon to deal with men.

Li Guanqi shook his head slightly, dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and said to Yue'er: "Tell the imperial dining room to make something light, and I will eat it when I come back early." ”

In the sound of ritual music, Li Guanqi walked into the Xuanzheng Hall with steady steps, and in the Manchu Dynasty, "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! He sat down on the dragon chair and said calmly, "Get up." ”

The ministers replied: "Thank you, Emperor! ”

Li Guanqi glanced at the faces of everyone in the hall, and then said with a smile: "Not bad, the people are quite complete." When I look at it from above, I feel so majestic. ”

Everyone listened to Li Guanqi's relaxed tone, and they all relaxed, and even a few ministers laughed out loud.

Li Guanqi continued to take care of himself: "It's good if there are more people, it's easy to do things when there are more people." I happen to have a few things for you to do. ”

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but be a little confused, today is the first early dynasty in the first year of Qianwei, and it is also the first early dynasty after the fall of Zu Donglai, everyone is waiting for Li Guanqi to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, why don't you mention this stubble at all?

Li Guanqi changed his words and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, although I know that the officials standing here are all officials above the fourth grade, but I can't tell which of you is the first rank and who is the fourth grade." Just one Zhao Pu, I know that he is a sixth grade, because he wears a different dress than you. So the first thing to do is to re-establish the rules. ”
