Du He wondered, early dynasty, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, right?

"The winter solstice is coming?" Du He asked Changle.

The early dynasties of the Tang Dynasty were divided into three types, also known as court participation, which were one of the most important political activities of Tang officials in Beijing. The first is the Yuan and the winter solstice held by the big court, the most grand, Taile Ling is to beat the gong and play the drum, the old man of the honor guard vehicle, commonly known as "the exhibition palace hanging drumming, Chen Che chariot public opinion". At that time, the emperor came out of the imperial opinion, accepted the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding neighboring countries, and the court meeting also had the most participants, including the princes and relatives, the civil and military officials above the nine grades in Beijing, the local court envoys, the guest envoys of the Tibetan country, etc., all had to come, and there was a royal banquet after the court meeting, and the crowd was happy.

The second is the Shuowang pilgrimage. That is, the first and fifteenth days of each month. On this day, the Taiji hall should be placed on the smoker, set up the incense case, and then under the leadership of the supervision of the imperial history, the civil and military according to the grade in the palace in place, the emperor began to sit on the throne, and the group of officials sang and praised the ritual of worshipping again, which is the routine etiquette of the civil and military officials above the nine grades in Beijing.

Finally, it is said that every court ginseng, this every court ginseng is a regular ginseng, it is a court meeting held every day, according to the regulations, "the five products have been on and the worship of the official, the staff of the foreign lang, the supervision of the imperial history, the doctor of Taichang, every said court ginseng", generally do not need to put up a guard of honor, there is no big pomp, it is the real administrative said. The participants are called permanent staff officers, the number is small and the rank is high, and they are all officials with five grades or above.

The first kind of court meeting is a must go, no one is an exception, the second kind of Shuowang court is similar to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other officials must go, Du He and other officials can go or not, slightly secondary. The last permanent staff is when a group of big officials do practical things, and the level is restricted to more than five grades. Although the official level of Du He has arrived, it refers to civil officials above the fifth rank and handling government affairs, as a general, he has the right not to participate, and he has nothing to do, let alone go.

Therefore, he thought that the great dynasty would arrive on the winter solstice!

Changle shook his head, "The winter solstice is still early, maybe my father has something to summon him!" ”

Du He nodded, and could only explain it like this.

Chang Shen didn't need to arrive at the palace before four o'clock, and Du He was not in a hurry, he read the book and practiced martial arts, and it was nearly six o'clock before he rode his horse out.

Out of the Horse Mansion, I happened to meet Du Ruhui's sedan chair, and I hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

Du Ruhui looked at Du He unexpectedly, "Erlang is here too?" "It is true that Du Ho's official position is eligible to participate in the permanent participation, but he has never been there.

"Your Majesty called, I don't know why." Du He also looked strange.

Du Ruyan glanced at him strangely, and said in his heart: "Your Majesty will not put the expectation of convincing Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda on him?" "I didn't ask at the moment, and I came to the palace with him.

Generally speaking, the four quarters of the hour are gathered, that is, six o'clock. Li Shimin would arrive in two quarters of an hour, and when Du He and Du Ruhui came to the palace, it was a little more than six o'clock, and the ministers of the court and the central government were all coming. Before entering the main hall, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites informed Du He's position when he went to the court, this hall is strictly hierarchical, and the monarchs of the Imperial History Terrace are supervising the discipline of the court, and the wrong position is also a kind of crime of dereliction.

A classic sentence of "the emperor has arrived", dozens of civil and military officials, lined up, took off their shoes in turn and entered the main hall.

No shoes are allowed in the main hall, which has been the rule for thousands of years. Only great heroes like Xiao He were allowed to wear shoes to enter the palace, and of course, powerful ministers like Cao Ying and Dong Zhuo were also average.

If a minister suffers from murderous athlete's foot, shouldn't the Manchu civil and military smell his stinky feet?

Du He looked at the ministers who took off their shoes one by one, and thought with some malice.

Walking into the main hall, Li Shimin sat very strictly on the main hall, and saw that Du He in the crowd gave him a very covert look, nodded, and looked at you with an expression.

This look made Du He inexplicable, I don't know what the hell this idea was for His Majesty the Tang Emperor.

Duhe knelt down in his place and listened to their meeting.

It's nothing more than how to govern Datang and how to make Datang rich and strong. These are trivial things for Du He, but a group of high-IQ talents have been discussing for most of the hour, and just when he was about to doze off when he listened, Li Shimin finally talked about Gaochang.

"There has been a new development in the matter of Gaochang. Yesterday I received reliable news that I already knew who those thieves were! Li Shimin's sharp eyes swept through the hall, and finally fell on Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang, and said loudly: "They are none other than the friends of the Tang Dynasty in your mouth, the army of the king of Gaochang Kingdom, Lu Wentai." They guarded and stole themselves, not only did they guard the Silk Road for my Datang, but they killed my Datang merchants, which is extremely hateful. Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to do the duties of the Heavenly Khan and send troops to conquer Gaochang! I don't know, do you have any objections? ”

Yesterday, Li Shimin only slightly revealed his intentions, but now that he has real evidence in hand, he directly made a decision to levy in this court.

Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang and other people who were in charge of peace changed their expressions, and they all caught Li Shimin off guard by this sudden move.

The ministers of the court also bombed.

Hubu Shangshu said eagerly: "Is Your Majesty's words serious? That Gao Chang really dared to be so rampant! ”

"You have no jokes!" Li Shimin told the ministers about An Longma and Chemiri.

Most of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty are men with blood surnames, and the sound of war is immediately endless.

Originally, the head of the household department Shangshu also changed to support Li Shimin, gritting his teeth and looking eager to go into battle to kill the enemy in person. He is in charge of the livelihood of the world, and no one knows the importance of the Silk Road to Datang better than him. For the obstruction of the Silk Road, he remembered it in his heart and couldn't sleep at night, and the mastermind behind this hearing turned out to be the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, Lu Wentai, who naturally hated the root of his teeth.

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. The lord of Gaochang has always been kind to my Tang Dynasty and paid tribute for many years. There must be a reason why such things are being done now. So he spat and began to quote the scriptures. He implicitly criticized Li Shimin's unkind behavior of beating and killing at every turn, and repeatedly said that my Datang is an example and model for the world to follow, and we should understand and understand the difficulties of various small countries and their subordinates with a generous mind, and give support in key places, so as to reflect the open-mindedness of Datang: "Your Majesty, only by finding the cause can we solve the effect." Only by finding the root cause of the problem can we solve the problem. The hasty use of force will not solve the essence of the problem. ”

When Duhe heard this, he couldn't help but "poof!" I laughed out loud, I strangled it, this apprentice is too strong, and the cause and effect are all sorted out.

In this Tai Chi Hall, there was only Kong Yingda who was spitting, and Du He's smile was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, and even Kong Yingda stopped his gushing mouth and stopped.

Li Shimin had a headache for Kong Yingda, the descendant of Confucius, so he hardened his head, listened to him preach, listened to Du He laugh, and also knew that the show was on stage, and he hurriedly said: "Why is the virtuous son-in-law laughing, so formless at this court meeting, what kind of system has it become?" ”

Kong Yingda jumped to his feet angrily, but when he saw that the person who laughed was Du He, he was also a little dumbfounded, he hadn't forgotten that he also had an identity as Du He's apprentice. If it was in the past, he would have jumped up a long time ago, but at this moment, his face changed a few times, but he said respectfully: "I don't know what Yingda said in front of him, but there is something wrong, please Mr. advise!" ”

Li Shimin grinned secretly in the hall, as if he had already planned to do so.

The ministers in the palace were also cold one by one, and they couldn't help but hold back that they didn't laugh out loud.

Cheng Biting Jin even secretly gave him a thumbs up as a reward. Kong Yingda was a great Confucian, and he was the common enemy of their generals. As for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they also had a stiff face, and their shoulders shrugged.

Du He didn't expect Kong Yingda to admit him as a master at this moment, so he smiled calmly and said: "I don't dare to be a guide, I just have a little question I want to ask." That's what you call cause and effect, and I think I understand what you mean. Are you saying that there is a reason why Ko Wentai did this, and if you want to settle this matter, you need to find the reason, and then prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem, right? ”

Kong Yingda was very appreciative of Du He's comprehension ability, nodded and twisted his beard, and said smugly: "That's exactly the reason!" ”

"Whew!" Du He couldn't help but scream: "What kind of crooked theory is this, nonsense, shit!" ”

Suddenly, Kong Yingda's hair stood upside down with anger, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Du He tremblingly, the corners of his mouth twitched, his beard was straight, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Shimin didn't see it, and looked at the sky with both eyes.

But Du Ruhui couldn't stand it, and shouted: "Erlang, don't be rude!" ”

Du He ignored it and said-for-tat: "According to your crooked theory, the world is not chaotic then?" The murderer said that he did not have a heart, the robber said that he did not want to work, and the thief said that he had no food, these are all reasons, is it not a crime if there is a reason? Ko Wentai asked the soldiers to disguise themselves as horse thieves to burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil, no matter what reason he had, whether he was forced or helpless, he couldn't make up for the mistakes he put down. Can this simple sentence of your cause and effect make the bones on the Silk Road die? ”

Du He shouted loudly, and the more he spoke, the harder he became, his eyes widened. He really couldn't figure out if this Kong Yingda's head was funny, everything was benevolent, righteous and moral, even if Li Wentai killed so many of them, he could still tell them what morality.

Thinking of his father Du Ruhui and uncle Fang Xuanling, they are also scholars, why is there such a big gap.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was asked, a counselor stood up, and his words blew Du He's lungs out.
