After the Shangyuan Festival, it must be a big court meeting, but the empress has not paid much attention to it since she began to enjoy herself, and it will only be extremely grand when she sacrifices, not only requiring the Wu family and the Li family to participate, but also the officials below the six grades in Beijing must also be present to watch the ceremony.

The court meeting began at the third pole of the sun, and the empress sat on the throne in full costume, looking down on the ministers, and there was a majesty of her own, which enveloped the whole hall in solemnity.

The palace supervisor shouted: "If you have something to do, please play, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat!" ”

"Wechen has a play!" Zuo Su Zhengtai supervised the imperial history Dong Mao out of the class.

The empress nodded, and the palace warden asked, "Where did the play come from?" ”

Dong Mao bowed and said: "Since the Xia Qi, the continuation of all countries must be inherited by their descendants. Trees dry up because of root rot, streams cut off because the springs are not dredged, the Great Zhou Dynasty to have lush roots, must have successors, the Great Zhou Dynasty to never dry up like a river, then someone must dredge the blockage. Looking at the current Great Zhou Dynasty, the ministers are worried, the people of the world are worried, and the ministers who are loyal to our Great Zhou Dynasty are worried. The micro-minister is lowly and small, but the minister dares to speak, and the minister implores His Majesty, please make His Royal Highness the King of Wei the crown prince! Chen Ken asked His Majesty to establish His Royal Highness King Wei as the crown prince! ”

Immediately, Dong Mao knelt on the ground and kowtowed!

"Please appoint His Royal Highness King Wei as the crown prince!"

Suddenly, in the court, all the scholars knelt down, and those ministers who were good friends with the King of Wei also knelt down.

Wu Chu looked at Dong Mao in a daze, one of the eighteen jinshi who graduated from the first Qingxin Academy, he was a little helpless, but he remembered this person in his heart. He didn't ask the students to do so. But at this moment he had to stand up, according to his train of thought, such a scene was going to happen. At least after the Khitan counterinsurgency.

The empress squinted her eyes and swept them over the faces of the hundreds of officials and ministers one by one, even if her eyes were not good, she couldn't see it really, but most of the officials were willing to ask, which made her feel like she was forced into the palace, but Dong Mao's words were very good. It can be said that it is the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she has no reason to blame such a courtier.

The empress was about to ask a question, but she saw Wu Zheng, the king of Wei, bow down and say, "Holy Lord." The position of the crown prince, the minister did not dare to conceive. Dong Mao's words pointed out the shortcomings of my Great Zhou, but the respect of the crown prince and the saint have his own decision. The minister is a prince. But he is also a courtier of the Great Zhou. No matter when the Great Zhou is, the ministers will bow and die as hard as they can! ”

Wu Shui went on to say: "Whether the Great Zhou Dynasty is prosperous and whether it lasts for thousands of years, it takes the people of our generation to shed their blood to open up a new world and create a peaceful and friendly country for our future generations." Although there is no threat from the north and the west in the Great Zhou for the time being, who can guarantee that ten years later. If the Tibetans can't enter Chang'an, who can guarantee that the Hui tribes will cross the Yellow River and plunder Luoyang? Not to mention. Did the officials ever know that next to the four towns of Anxi, there are the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu. Next to the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu is the mighty Arab Empire, whose caliphs have conquered distant Egypt and confronted the mighty Byzantine Empire, with millions of troops, whose bows and arrows pierce our armor like spears! As courtiers, we should not be limited to the Khitan, Silla and the Wa Kingdom, and the Tibetan like a wild wolf. And you should not be arrogant as a native of the Central Plains, if you are arrogant, then this king will let you see the thousands of sails of Guangzhou Port and the treasures of Quanzhou Port. If you don't believe me, then would you like to spend a year going to the Great Food Country to see what the Great Food Country is like as you see it in the history books......

Wu Shui was a little excited, and more and more excited.

Looking at the passionate narration of Wu Zheng under the Dan Qi, and the world he depicted, a deep sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in the empress's heart, and the vigorous and majestic body, he talked eloquently, attracting all the minds of the hundred officials. So much so that this court seems to have become a one-man show of King Wu of Wei.

Wu Chu painted a general pattern of the world to the hundred officials, gave the hundred officials an almost new understanding of the world, and caused ripples in their small and narrow thoughts.

This made them yearn for and vigilant, they were shocked by the erudition of King Wei, and they were also shocked by the ambition of His Royal Highness King Wei, but more of a vigilance, what is King Wei going to do?

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, this kind of thinking has been magnified, inclusive and subtle, and the sea is inclusive, but these things, all these vanities, are based on the absolute victory of foreign military wars and strong self-confidence.

Outside the Central Plains, they are all barbarians!

And what Wu Zheng said, outside the Central Plains, there was more than one center, which made those officials from big families a little disdainful, but the majesty of King Wei and the strictness of this court were held in their hearts.

After Wu Shui finished talking about the world, he talked about the ocean.

"The ocean is mysterious, it absorbs hundreds of rivers, encompasses hundreds of rivers, and the endless ocean makes us have a sense of "looking at the ocean and sighing", but the ocean gives us the opportunity, because we can reach those places that cannot be reached by land, and we can get survival resources from those places, obtain new species, and maybe find new food. Therefore, Chen Ken asked His Majesty to set up a city shipping department to manage shipping affairs, so that maritime trade can become one of the sources of taxation for my Great Zhou! ”

After saying that, Wu Chuan bowed down.

The empress was stunned for a moment, and she also woke up from the world described by King Wei, it turned out that this child was going to lead such a thing. So he asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of King Wei?" ”

Yao Yuanchong saw that His Royal Highness had already proposed that Yao Yuanchong and others should ask for the establishment of the City Division, but at this time, they could only second.

So Yao Yuanchong went out and said: "Shengshang, now the ports of Guangzhou and Quanzhou are very prosperous, but they are quite chaotic, and there are many small gangs and factions in the ports. ”

Although Doulu Qinwang didn't know what was going on in this city, he saw that King Wei proposed that if he didn't express his position in this internal history, it was estimated that he would soon be wiped out, so he also went out and seconded the proposal: "Holy Lord." Now that the left Tibet has dried up, if the establishment of the city department can increase taxes, it can be considered. Please be clear! ”

Doulu Qinwang's words hit the empress's weakness, and now not only the left is hidden, but even the right is not rich, but this matter is very big, and it cannot be agreed lightly. Competing with the people for profit is the most criticized by the world.

Ji Ji and the others saw that Yao Yuanchong seconded the proposal. They went out one after another to second, explaining the benefits of setting up a city department, which immediately made the empress eager.

In particular, when Yoshiki said that the annual tax from the city would reach at least 10 million yuan. Even those officials from families couldn't help but be moved, and now the annual tax of the imperial court is converted into Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is only more than 20 million yuan.

How high can the city's taxes be? There was a sudden discussion in the court.

The Empress suppressed the wild beat in her heart and calmed her mind. Then he looked at Wu Zheng. So he said: "Since the establishment of the City Department was proposed by the King of Wei, then the King of Wei has to draw up a charter for me to draw up a charter for me to consider." The prime ministers and ministers can express their opinions, and the establishment of the city department is unprecedented and cannot be taken lightly. ”

Wu Chuan was sure in his heart, and the empress said so, which had already been explained. She was tempted, and then. Then he bowed down and replied, "Command!" ”

At this time, it was close to noon, and the empress's energy was almost consumed, so she nodded slightly, and the palace supervisor shouted: "The court meeting is over, the hundred officials have something to do, discuss it another day, and retreat from the court!" ”

Immediately, the hundred officials bowed, the mountain shouted long live, the empress drove back to the palace, and the hundred officials slowly withdrew from the Ming Hall.

Seeing the hundred officials retreat, the science officials stepped forward, Dong Mao bowed down and pleaded guilty, Wu Chu just smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, Dong Mao did this, even if it was wrong, it could only be regarded as right. Who can blame such a loyal man? If he wants to reach the peak, he needs not only cadres, but also pawns like Dong Mao, and loyal people. However, the officials of science are somewhat rational, and although they are not lacking in blood, they do not have the factor of fanaticism.

Dong Mao is very good, worth cultivating! This Tiance Mansion lacks a long history, and originally wanted to say it to Zhang, but at this time, Wu Chu felt that this Dong Mao might be more suitable.

Yao Yuanchong and several other prime ministers waited for Wu Chu to speak, and Wu Chu said: "The establishment of the City Department is beneficial to the imperial court, I think you have also thought about it and understood, when you quarrel for a while, you must not lose the bloody nature of my science officials, even if you beat your head and bleed, you must also give me to overwhelm them in momentum!" ”

Yao Yuanchong said with a smile: "Your Highness's words are exactly what I want, if there is a fight for a while, I will play Yao Xuan first!" ”

Everyone immediately laughed, there are now two Yao among the prime ministers of the court, and it is quite discordant, it is already a matter of happiness among the officials in the court, as for how to discord, it is unknown, some people say political opinions, some people say women, because some people saw that in the Oiran competition in Wanchun Building, Yao Xuan spent a lot of money and won the first prize of the Oiran, it is said that Yao Yuanchong was also there at that time!

Wu Chu led a large group of science ministers into the political hall, at this time the prime ministers in the political hall were sitting, the palace people brought food, the king of Wei did not come, no one started, although the king of Wei often does not eat here, but today will come here.

Wu Chu saw everyone waiting, so he said: "You are free, there is no need for a little false courtesy!" ”

Immediately, Siping sat down in his place, quickly picked up the chopsticks and started.

Wu Zhai's meal is still very large, so according to Wu Zheng's requirements, the palace people specially prepared a large porcelain basin, which is enough to hold a bucket, at this time there is a large half of the porcelain basin, Wu Chuan looked at a plate of braised pork on the case, and suddenly was happy, so he picked up the braised pork and poured it into the porcelain basin, stirred quickly, and then picked up the soup spoon on the side, and started eating.

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Wei was so insulting, some prime ministers shook their heads, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that King Wei was like this, Nayan Lou Shide smiled and said: "Seeing His Highness eating like this, try it too!" Then he poured the braised pork into the rice bowl, stirred, picked up the soup spoon and started eating, and immediately nodded and laughed.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Yuanchong picked up the braised pork and poured it into the rice bowl, so did Song Jing and Ji Xuan, and Lu Qinwang said in order to show his expression: "The old man will break the vows today!" Then he poured the braised pork into the rice bowl, stirred, picked up the soup spoon, took a bite, and his eyes lit up!

When the other officials saw that all the officials were like this, they wanted to try it, and then they poured the braised pork into the rice bowl one by one, stirred it, and showed a satisfied and happy look on their faces for a moment.

Wu Chu laughed in his heart, you guys, this is bibimbap from the previous life, but these bearded prime ministers are like this, and they are quite cute.

Yang Zaisi even ate a few white grains of rice on his beard, but he didn't realize that Su Wei shook his head for a while, said, "Insulting Sven", nodded for a while, and said: "This way to eat is good!" ”

In short, from now on, every time there is braised pork, the spectacle of bibimbap in the government hall will be staged again.

And on this day, it also surprised the miscellaneous servants of the prime minister's official kitchen, there was half of the leftovers on weekdays, but on this day, there was almost no leftovers! (To be continued......)
