The first time: the idiot boy's feast (2)
Yunhe peeked at his father and walked out, and immediately grimaced: "It's still very early in the evening!" Why don't we sneak out the back door and go to the market in the east archway? β
"But if my father finds out, he will definitely lose his temper and punish us," Zheng Yanrong was very worried.
"Alas, I won't go," Zheng Bihan sat down on the chair in a big way: "But if you don't bring me some plum cakes, ginger vinegar meat, roast lamb tongue or something back, blame me for telling my father."
"You have to rest," Zheng Yunming looked at a bunch of guys who were making trouble, and said angrily: "This is different from usual, this is to see the emperor, and they all put away their troubles, if you accidentally provoke the holy driver, it is not a meal that can be ended, even if you can't provoke the emperor, you don't have to settle this grievance." So you all memorize the rules well, and when the time comes, just do it according to the appearance. And that foodie. β
Zheng Yunming knocked a chestnut on Bihan's head: "What about the big banquet at night, what delicious food is the first-class goods that can be obtained in Lin'an Mansion, you are still thinking about the snacks in the market, look at your little interest." β
"Okay, let me go to the study to memorize the etiquette rules!"
At the beginning of the day, the street that should have been lively has long been silenced, and those idlers who come out to walk the night market have to avoid both sides in a proper manner. It is because he ruled the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, only half of the Duanping Son of Heaven had to pass by.
The leader of the class in front of the hall was full of spirits, wearing a two-legged head on his head, wearing a crimson blue and purple brocade jacket, carrying a bow and arrows, carrying a sword at his waist, each holding a spear, and riding a horse to open the way in front. Followed by a group of forbidden warriors, each holding a sentry stick and a long whip, they were responsible for clearing the streets and opening the way for the emperor to go out on patrol. β
In the center is the dragon chariot that the emperor is riding, carried by the most skilled personal officials, and in addition to the samurai who accompany the escort, even the miscellaneous servants holding spittoons, water purification bottles, and fruit bowls are all served by elite samurai from Ryoma in front of the emperor.
After that, Zai Fu and a group of civil leaders, palace marshals and military attachΓ©s were honorable, as well as meritorious deeds, relatives, princes and grandsons, etc., who walked slowly forward.
In the front and back of the line, there is also a band playing music, showing the momentum of the emperor going out to patrol and enjoying the sky.
After such a blow, the team finally came to a place three hundred steps away from Zheng's mansion, and several heavenly military envoys stood in front of the team and shouted: "Look at the driver!" The procession solemnly and slowly walked towards the door of the Prime Minister's House.
Dozens of strong men raised their whips and slashed, and the crackling whip made the momentum even more majestic.
In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, incense cases have already been set up, burning incense and scattering flowers. Zheng Qingzhi took several wives, a group of heirs, as well as the utility envoys and sergeants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to stand along the door for a long time, this is to see the arrival of the holy car, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed under the leadership of Zheng Qingzhi to welcome the Son of Heaven to the house.
The forbidden army swung along the road, and an internal attendant stepped forward to help him walk down from the dragon chariot.
Zheng Yunming led his younger brothers to lie on the ground in a proper manner, and did not dare to raise his eyes slightly, although the prestige of the Son of Heaven in the Tang and Song dynasties was far from reaching the peak of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but raising his eyes to look at the Son of Heaven when he bowed down was also a great crime of bullying the king, and in the face of a person who could not look up, there was naturally a little awe in his heart. Perhaps this is why China's rulers have always placed so much emphasis on royal authority.
Duanping Tianzi calmly stepped into the Zheng Mansion under the guidance of the internal attendants. Zheng Qingzhi has not been in power for a long time, and he has not had time to change a more imposing mansion. But as Shi Miyuan's powerful assistant and confidant in the imperial court for a long time, the house he originally lived in was not comparable to ordinary wealthy families in the capital. The crowd of people surrounded the emperor around the wall, crossed several courtyards, and came to the hall to take a seat.
The envoy of the inner court had already instructed the officials to set the throne, and after the emperor took his seat, Zheng Xianggong still needed to lead his family and servants to kowtow outside the hall again to thank him. Then the civil and military officials sat down in order of rank.
Just like the list reported by the steward before, this time the imperial banquet was not only attended by the chief official of the chief executive or the front division of the palace, but basically the civil ministers of the court and several commanders of the front division of the palace were also invited. This is exactly what the emperor meant, for Zheng Qingzhi's support, not only needs the support of several ministers sitting in Zhongshu Province, but also needs the positive response of the provincial ministers who implemented the decree, as well as the cooperation from the Rong Division.
The civil and military sat down one after another, and the worship officials announced loudly that the dishes were served, and the servants and maids brought up the plates at a low price, and the beginning of the feast was just to serve some dried and fresh fruits, fruit preserves, cured snacks and other idle food. The Emperor took advantage of this free time to express his gratitude to the family of the host who had been blessed with his reception.
Zheng Qingzhi is the prime minister of the left, this is not a big deal. Since the death of the first left prime minister, this position must be that of the right prime minister, and who can sit on it. But in addition to such a new defeat, Zheng Qingzhi was added to the official rank, and at that time, several officials who strongly opposed Duanping and Luo's face changed slightly, but the holy face was on the side, and it was not easy to show hesitation.
The ladies were also promoted according to their ranks, and several favorite concubines who had not been rewarded before had also been given the title of county king, and they couldn't help but show joy at the moment.
The emperor likes this kind of person who can't hide his thoughts, and if he can't hide his thoughts, he must live a simple and happy life. Joy is joy, and anger is anger. Straight strips come and go, which is convenient for yourself and with others.
No matter what you say, whether it is a great victory in the Biansai, a famine in the territory, the birth of a prince, or a disaster from the sky, they always have a strict and upright face, so that you can't capture the world in their hearts.
The former prime minister was like this, and today's Zheng Cheng is like this, and it is said that Qin Changjiao, who had been dictatorial of the government for more than 20 years, was also like this. Their pondering of the emperor's mind permeated every detail of life. But your understanding of them, even with the help of the Imperial City Division's strength, is only a drop in the bucket. Very few people really understand the inner thoughts of the prime ministers.
Speaking of this, the emperor really misses the prime minister Han Cheng who was in charge of the affairs of the first emperor's dynasty back then, anyway, he is at least a little cute, domineering and domineering, and sometimes he doesn't even care about being known by the emperor.
And Shi Miyuan would cry bitterly in front of the emperor and ask the emperor to punish him. Just kidding, your henchmen are all over the court, how can you say that punishment will be punished.
For the right-hand man of the prime minister, the emperor of Qingzhigong, the emperor naturally did not have any good feelings. But the first is that although Shi Miyuan died, the power left behind was still huge, and it was not possible to appease them without a figure of the Shi Party, and the second was that after Zheng Qingzhi was supported, he expressed his absolute obedience to the imperial power at a very fast speed, and even pushed forward the Northern Expedition despite the opposition of the ministers.
What kind of risk the prime minister has to take to promote the Northern Expedition, Zheng Qingzhi is obviously clear, two Northern Expeditions were fruitless and led to peace with the Jin people, one sacrificed the martial god Yue Fei of Shaoxing, and the other sacrificed the prime minister Han Yanxuan who was above the 10,000 people of the Great Song Dynasty. It takes some courage to be a prime minister who risks losing peace with the Tartars and advocates for restoration.
Zheng Qingzhi was not a man of courage, and there was only one reason to support his desperate consent to the Northern Expedition, and he wanted to show his absolute and unconditional obedience to the man on the dragon chair.
What the emperor needed was precisely such a prime minister.
The relatives of the Zheng family who won the reward kowtowed one by one to thank them. Then it's the children's turn to accept the reward.
Zheng Yunming stepped forward and knelt down and accepted the reward from the emperor. Although he had been rewarded by the Son of Heaven in the past as the son of Yanai, this time it was different from usual.
As the de facto eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Yunming got an official position of shadow, and the selection of the school secretary is not a big position, and it is a rather ordinary gift compared to the reward given to the prince and the nobles before the dynasty. But this is finally the first official position Zheng Yunming has obtained in his life. Although for Zheng Yunming, who has just passed the palace examination, it is only a matter of time before he fills the vacancy according to the right path, but with this school secretary who is personally sealed by the royal mouth, when the officials choose an official position in the future, they will also get extra blue eyes, which is a rule that the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty does not have to say explicitly.
In addition, there are all kinds of gold and silver gadgets given by the emperor, and most of the younger brothers who can't get the rank have also received such rewards, which is also a habitual honor for the children of the Zheng Mansion.
After the reward, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, and the hall returned to a scene of harmony and harmony between the monarchs and ministers.
Zheng Yunming followed the chamberlain to the side hall, which was a separate banquet for the princes. After arranging everyone's positions and about to sit down, the youngest brother Eleven Lang suddenly shouted: "Third brother, I'm in a hurry." β
The old family on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the little master and go to the toilet, but Eleven Lang shouted: "I want the third brother to take me there!" β
During the Tang and Song dynasties, filial piety was the most important, and the family and friendship between brothers and sisters were valued. Naturally, under the etiquette of the big family, this kind of family affection is covered with a veil of etiquette, so it looks serious and dull. But Mrs. Xiao also treats the children of the concubine as her own, and these eleven sons were born to a concubine surnamed Liu, and their milk name is called Ah Fu. Since he was a child, he was frail and sickly, and was taken care of by Mrs. Xiao's side, and he also liked this smart and kind third brother the most on weekdays, and he always grabbed the third brother whenever he had the opportunity.
Zheng Yunming saw that Shiyi Lang was playing a little temper again, and said with a smile: "Then I'll take him with you." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the side hall and towards the toilet with Eleven Lang in his arms.
When Eleven Lang came out, Zheng Yunming hugged him and was about to return to the side hall. Suddenly, I heard a big mess in the back garden. Zheng Yunming's heart moved, and the direction of the noise was the place where the banquet of the courtiers was placed.
