Chapter 50: The Great Palace's Reward (I)
In the early hours of the next morning, before dawn, the rumbling drum suddenly sounded, waking up the sleeping Chang'an, and the time for the early dynasty had arrived.
Since Li Longji canonized Yang Yuhuan as a concubine in the fourth year of Tianbao, he has less and less time to go to the early dynasty, from an early dynasty every three days, and gradually changed to the current morning dynasty every Friday every month, today is the fifth day of December, and it is the first early dynasty in December.
The sky is still dark and gloomy, but the street is already full of carriages, on the right side of the carriage, the orange lantern is written with the master's official title and surname, such as Cheng Yang in the imperial history, this is the carriage of Cheng Yang Zhao in the imperial history, or the household servant Yang, but this is the carriage of the household servant Yang Shenjin,
One after another, the carriages, mixed with officials on horseback, drove towards the direction of Danfeng Gate.
At this moment, before the hour came, officials gathered in Danfengmen Square, and they were talking in low voices.
An Lushan stood in the snow for an hour last night, and after he went back, he was a little hurt by the cold, if it was normal, he might have asked for a leave, but today is the seal of the Anxi Army, if he asks for leave, it will be a little ......
An Lushan sat on the steps groggily, he didn't want to pay attention to anyone, at this time, Yang Zhao came from afar, bowed down and smiled: "General An, why are you sitting here?" ”
Yang Zhao is the later Yang Guozhong, he is Yang Guifei's brother, tall, a talent, just entered Beijing last year, in just one year, he was mixed from a small official in Bashu to the middle of the imperial history, and concurrently held more than a dozen other positions, promoted quickly, has squeezed into the ranks of the high-level of the Tang Dynasty.
An Lushan struggled to stand up and laughed: "Let Yang Zhongcheng smile, I suffered a little cold last night and my body was weak, so I sat down to rest." ”
"Oh! I see. Yang Zhao took a step forward and said in a low voice: "I don't know how the matter of the little general was handled yesterday, do you want me to help?" ”
"Thank you Yang Zhongcheng for your good intentions, this matter has subsided, there is no way, today is to reward Anxi Jun, I have to come when I am sick."
"Humph! Taking a small border country is so prosperous, the general rejected the Khitan in the north, made countless achievements, and did not see any Hanyuan Hall awards, which is too favoritism. ”
An Lushan couldn't help but secretly disdain when he saw that Yang Zhao didn't know to take the important surname of Xiao Bolu, but Yang Zhao's tone obviously meant to please him, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, this Yang Zhao is the brother of the concubine, if he can be entrapded, wouldn't it be stained with the power of the concubine, why didn't he think of it earlier?
It wasn't until today that An Lushan suddenly discovered Yang Zhao's important surname, and he was annoyed and surprised in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "Yang Zhongcheng, when will you go to my house to drink a glass of water and wine, I will show Zhongcheng the stunning beauties in Youzhou." ”
Yang Zhao was overjoyed, he had already wanted to have a relationship with An Lushan, and there were stunning beauties waiting, he hurriedly said: "The day after tomorrow happens to be free, I will come over the day after tomorrow, how about it?" ”
"Then it's a deal!"
The two looked up to the sky and laughed together, and at this time, a thick bell rang from the Hanyuan Palace, and a palace supervisor came out and preached loudly: "The hour has come, ascend to the dynasty!" ”
Thousands of officials on Danfeng Square immediately lined up in two teams, the Tang Dynasty will be divided into small dynasties, middle dynasties and large dynasties, the small dynasties are mainly temporary important matters to convene the court meeting, which is attended by officials from the third grade or above, generally held in the Zichen Hall or Yanying Palace, to discuss military affairs.
This is the most frequent court meeting in the Tang Dynasty, like today's court meeting every five years, which also belongs to the Chinese Dynasty, most of which are held in the Xuanzheng Palace, but today it is held in the Hanyuan Palace, and the official rank has been reduced to more than seven grades, not limited to ministers, which has the meaning of the dynasty.
The Great Dynasty is held in Hanyuan Hall on the first day of the first month of May every year and when the foreign envoys collectively meet, the Beijing officials are more than nine products, and the foreign officials are all listed because of the court gathering in Beijing, and the scene is extremely grand.
"Hundred officials enter the palace!"
More than 2,000 officials were divided into two columns, the left column was led by Chen Xilie, the left minister, and the right column was led by Li Linfu, the right minister of the Zhongshu Order.
Hanyuan Hall is extremely wide, more than 400 steps long from north to south, more than 500 steps from east to west, can accommodate 10,000 people, it stands majestically on the south edge of the dragon head original, overlooks the far away, Zhongnan Mountain is clearly visible, Chang'an Street is in full view.
Entering the hall is well lit, but the more you go inside, it gradually becomes dim, the emperor sits on a high dragon couch, he can clearly see the ministers, but the ministers can not see him clearly, which shows the mystery and majesty of the Tang Emperor.
When the ministers enter the hall, there are seats for officials above the third grade, and they can sit and listen to the government, while the officials above the fourth rank are standing behind, and they are arranged in order according to the order of the three provinces, the six departments, the nine Qings, the five temples and the scattered officials.
There were whispers in the main hall, discussing the content of today's early dynasty, and there was only one topic for today's early dynasty, to reward the battle of Xiaobolu of the Anxi army.
Li Linfu closed his eyes and recuperated, but the corner of his eyes glanced at a man sitting on the jade steps from time to time, he was wearing a three-beam crown, wearing a silk robe, and a big belt around his waist, his eyes were calm, and the corners of his mouth had a hint of indifferent smile, this man was Li Heng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, since the crown prince Li Ying was deposed and canonized twenty-five years ago, it has been nearly ten years, and he has been living tremblingly under his father, Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Linfu in order to support the longevity of the king Li Mao as the crown prince, has spared no effort to oppose Li Heng as the prince, so, when Li Heng was canonized, it became Li Linfu's thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, under the acquiescence of Li Longji, he hit the prince again and again, at the beginning of the fifth year of Tianbao, the Wei Jian case broke out, Wei Jian is the brother of the crown princess, the criminal department is still the book, the fifteenth day of the first month, he had a private meeting with the prince, was impeached by Li Linfu instructed by the imperial history, and was implicated in the Longyou section to make the emperor Fu Weiming, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were exiled and executed, and the prince Li Heng was forced to retire the crown princess.
In November of the same year, Du Youlin's case broke out again, Du Youlin was the father of the prince's favorite concubine Du Liangdi, and was killed by a cane because of the defendant's conspiracy.
The divorce of two wives in a year made the crown prince Li Heng suffer an unprecedented blow, he became silent, rarely left the palace, today is the fifth court meeting, he came to attend the court meeting according to the etiquette system.
At this time, Li Heng's mood was very calm, as if the battle of Xiao Bolu had nothing to do with him.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
The young eunuch in the hall shouted, the officials stood up one after another, the hall was quiet, silent, Li Heng also stood up, he stood with his hands down, waiting for his father to come.
A bell rang, forty eunuchs entered in two columns, followed by nearly 100 guards with knives in front of the palace, carrying silver knives on their waists, holding jade hammers and Jin Ge, on both sides of the jade steps, and finally sixteen palace laves, holding palace fans and Luo Gai, surrounded by Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, into the palace.
Today is the official advent of the dynasty, Li Longji no longer wears regular clothes, he is wearing an embroidered dragon coat, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, white beads hanging in front of him, Gao Lishi holds the holy decree and stands behind him.
Li Longji sat down and glanced around at the ministers, who bowed down together and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The voice was neat and loud, Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”
"Your Majesty has a will, and all officials will return to their positions!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The hundred officials returned to their queues one after another, and the high-ranking officials also sat down, taking advantage of this vacancy, Li Longji asked the crown prince Li Heng with a smile: "How is the emperor doing lately?" ”
Li Heng hurriedly bowed and said, "Back to my father, my son is still in good health." ”
Li Longji nodded and said: "I heard that you have not been out of the palace for two months, this is not right, you are the prince, you should visit the people, know the people's suffering, and the polo tournament is about to start, I also hope that you will often go to see it and scatter your heart." ”
"Sons obey orders!"
At this time, Gao Lishi reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it has begun." ”
Li Longji reined in his mind and said slowly to the ministers: "Today's topic, I think you Aiqing already knows, the Anxi army captured Xiaobolu, shocked the Western Regions, and revived the prestige of the Tang Dynasty Khan, whose merit is in the community, and must not be rewarded, I officially decided that the commander Gao Xianzhi replaced Fumeng Lingcha as the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, and added the title of Honglu Siqing and Yushi Zhongcheng, and the Anxi army rewarded 300,000 yuan and 150,000 silk horses. ”
Speaking of this, Li Longji stopped, and the young eunuch in the palace announced loudly, "Gao Xianzhi replaced Fumeng Lingcha as the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, and added the title of Honglu Siqing and Yushi Zhongcheng, and the Anxi army rewarded 300,000 yuan and 150,000 horses." ”
Li Longji nodded slightly, and said: "The Anxi Army was able to go through hardships and win the victory in the Battle of Xiaobolu, which was caused by the soldiers of the three armies fighting bravely to kill the enemy. ”
"The soldiers of the Xuan'an West Army enter the hall!"
