Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Four years of martial virtue and seventeen years of great cause, this is how it came.

On the first day of the first lunar month, a qiē was calm and quiet, but I didn't know that this was just the calm before the storm.

The Linshuo Palace in Youjing was finally repaired before the first day of the first month, according to the practice of Zhao State, this day should be a hundred officials with their families, go to Linshuo Palace to see Li Chongjiu, and congratulate the New Year.

Therefore, this New Year, all the officials also went to Linshuo Palace to pay homage and congratulate.

Officials above the fifth rank all drove chariots, and the generals all rode horses, and Mu Kunxi, the envoys of the two Silla departments, also went to the Linshuo Palace on behalf of their respective leaders to congratulate Li Chongjiu on the New Year.

The city gate in the north of the city is now full of traffic, and the cars of many officials are also together, and those who are familiar with each other also congratulate each other.

After that, let the official rank go through the city gate first, and as for the equals, they are also humble to each other, but the officials at the same level are also particular about who comes first and who comes after, and the officialdom loves to compare the size, for example, even if the rank is comparable, but there is also a default set of rules for the official position, distinguishing between high and low.

For example, the officials of Zhongshu Province are one level higher than the officials of Shangshu Province, and in the Great Sui Dynasty, they were the best in Shangshu Province. And if it is the same Shangshu Provincial official, the left is greater than the right, the left servant shoots more than the right servant, and the left Cheng is greater than the right. The next six parts also have a way to distinguish them, and the six parts of the criminal work of the official rite and the soldier are sorted in order (ps: the order of the Ming Dynasty is the order of the official and the soldier and the criminal worker).

Otherwise, how can it be said that it is a strict feudal hierarchy, this is not a single mistake, if there is a fault, according to the imperial history that has nothing to impeach, you can make a big fuss.

Zhao Guoguo has been in the country for a year, and everything else is still under construction, but the establishment of the order has already been completed from top to bottom.

The officials went out of the city from the north gate, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses all the way. After arriving at the Linshuo Palace, after entering the palace, everyone walked along the palace road.

Wen Yanbo, as a civil official, is proudly in front, and this time he took his wife with him. Two sons also came. Among the two sons, the eldest son, Wen Zhen, is the imperial historian. The second son, Wen Ting, is still studying in Guozijian.

Wen Yanbo walked a few steps, and waited for Shangshu's right servant to shoot Wang Qi walking towards him from the side.

Wen Yanbo stopped, and the two fought each other.

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "The prince's steps are really fast, one step ahead of me. ”

Wang Jue pinched his beard and smiled: "Home is just close, so I am waiting for Gong Wen here." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, Wang Jue had two sons and a daughter under his knees. The eldest son, Wang Chongji, is already a monk, but he leaves his youngest son Wang Jingzhi and his younger daughter to serve on his knees.

Wang Qi now his children to Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo's nephews also to Wang Qi, Wen and Wang are both Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Wen and the two Zaifu are three years apart, and they are both important ministers. Therefore, the children of the two families are also very close.

Wang Jingzhi and Wen Ting talked and laughed, while Wen Zhen was already a eunuch, so he was more serious, listening to his father and Wang Jue on the sidelines.

Wang Jue first said: "Gong Wen is really doing a good job at home!" ”

Wen Yanbo smiled: "Where does this start? ”

Wang Qi said: "It's not a matter of Shangshu Province persuading the king, Gong Wen is hiding it so tightly, even my old friend for many years doesn't tell him." ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "I heard about the prince's Shangshu Province. I was also unwilling to let others go, and I also persuaded myself, but now that I know, I have no ventilation. Otherwise, people will think that I am in the book order, and I actually interfere in the affairs of Shangshu Province, which will be criticized! ”

Wang Qi laughed, pointed at Wen Yanbo and said: "Gong Wen is really good at exculpation, isn't Zhongshu Province always doing things in Shangshu Province." ”

The two of them are very familiar, and they have no scruples about talking.

At this time, more than a dozen officials arrived with their families, but these officials were not of high rank. Seeing the two of them talking, they didn't dare to step forward and interject, but Hou Li was in the corridor behind the two.

Speaking of this, Wang Qi's expression sank, and Wen Yanbo and Wen Zhen made a look. Wen Zhen retired immediately.

Wang Jue took a step forward and said in a low voice: "But I heard that the two persuasions of Zhongshu and Shangshu are both for the king. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "I think this matter is related to the queen and Xiao Niangniang. ”

Wang Qi sighed and said: "Yes, I heard the news in the palace that after the queen gave birth to a baby girl this time, Queen Xiao didn't like it. I don't think the king wants to be the emperor at this time, not to mention that the battle situation of Wang Shichong in the south is also very unfavorable, and Wang Shichong is now looking forward to our reinforcements from Youjing day and night. At this time, the timing of being the emperor is not very appropriate. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "This is a trivial matter, although the queen gave birth to a baby girl, but the king already has a boy under his knees, not to mention that the king is still young, as long as Princess Dona, the continuation of the heir will never be a problem." The two sent troops to rescue Wang Shichong, and there was no conflict with the emperor, we can first set the name and righteousness, and the rest of the things can be done one by one after returning to the army Youjing. ”

Wang Qi said: "Then it depends on whether the king agrees or not." ”

While the two were talking, Wei Zheng, Chen Xiaoyi, and Lu Chengqing also arrived one after another, and finally Su Su, who was in Taiyuan, also arrived.

The six officials with the highest civil official rank in Zhao State congratulated each other, because Zhao State was still surrounded by war clouds, Wei Chigong, Wang Mahan, Xu Shiji, Wang Junkuo, Ying Hefu, Eto and other important generals in the army did not come, so the six people led the civil and military officials into the palace together.

Everyone in the hall congratulated Li Chongjiu on the New Year, as well as the joy of adding a thousand gold.

Originally, the officials thought that Li Chongjiu failed to have a son, and the daughter should be a little frustrated, but where did they expect that Li Chongjiu's face was like a spring breeze, and he was very happy to accept the congratulations of the officials. At the banquet that day, Queen Yang E was in confinement, and her daughter could not come forward, so the heroine who accepted everyone's congratulations with Li Chongjiu was Mu Deyun, and Li Ying was also on the side, accompanying Li Hu.

Although all the officials knew this reason, seeing that Deyun was at the table in person, and Li Ying beside him, they felt in their hearts that this seemed to be Li Chongjiu's deliberate hint of something.

But at this moment, Li Chongjiu is really happy, Zhao Guo defeated Dou Jiande and established the country, and he also married Emperor Yang E, a year later, Li Chongjiu was completely cleared, and Emperor Yang E also gave birth to a daughter for himself, how unhappy.

For him, this is called both children and daughters, although his daughter cannot inherit the throne, but as long as he is born to Emperor Yang E, he will treat them equally.

Therefore, he was really happy today, and after receiving the congratulations of the people, the maids immediately served the food and wine.

Zhao Guoguo was a year old, the national strength was strong, and Li Chongjiu simply changed the frugal style of the past this time, and in order to celebrate his daughter, he set up a banquet in the east and west of the city. In history, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet to the people, not much, in the time of Emperor Yang of Sui, the great Sui national strength was prosperous, and it was only carried out once.

Li Chongjiu is also generous to the people, no matter who they are, they can go to the feast to eat. The feast was held in the secluded capital for ten days in a row, day and night.

This is a feast of drunkenness, and at the annual banquet for rewarding officials, Li Chongjiu also made all the delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the maids served with steaming meals and old wine.

Li Chongjiu poured a cup and said to the ministers: "Da Zhao is powerful in all directions today, all of you are the work, today is a banquet, and you Aiqing will not be drunk and will not return." ”

All the officials also raised their glasses and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

At that moment, everyone drank it all.

Li Chongjiu was very free, and he poured wine, and he knew that Li Chongjiu was very drunk and happy, and he was also a happy woman, and he also drank a few glasses with him at the moment.

Forty-nine soldiers then entered the temple and performed a sword dance to cheer up.

After Zhao Guoguo, under Li Chongjiu's intentional advocacy, he has always attached equal importance to civil and military affairs, so for such a soldier sword dance with the taste of a masculine man on the battlefield, everyone who has no martial arts is also very happy to watch.

The crowd was in high spirits, and at this moment they heard only a choking sound, the sound of a bowl falling to the ground and breaking it.

Li Chongjiu looked at it, and it turned out to be Ji Chuan's case.

Ji Chuan refused to pick up the dishes and chopsticks for him, but walked into the hall in person and said to Li Chongjiu: "The king has accused, and it was Weichen who was careless." ”

The sword dance also stopped at this time, and Li Chongjiu said, "Okay." ”

Ji Chuan said: "The king gave a banquet this New Year, this is the joy of all officials, and Weichen should not have said anything at this time, so as to disturb the king and the ministers of Yaxing, but there is one thing, but I have to say, I have to play, don't vomit unhappy!" ”

Li Chongjiu put down the wine glass and said: "Ji Shilang deliberately broke the dishes and chopsticks, if you don't let you say, I don't know if you have to drop a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks again, is it that when you come to the banquet in the future, you will have to prepare an iron rice bowl for you." ”

All the ministers laughed when they heard this, and Ji Chuan said: "The minister's golden rice bowl, silver rice bowl, and iron rice bowl are all given by the king." ”

"Tell me what!"

Ji Chuanlang said: "Shangshu, hundreds of officials in the book handed over the letter to the king, and the king didn't know what to do? ”

Li Chongjiu didn't speak when he heard this.

Ji Chuan said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the world has been lost for a long time, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong have been called emperors, and King Zhao, who is divided into three parts of the world, is still only called king. Before Liu Heimin was not broken, we can still say that the strength is insufficient, now the whole territory of Hebei has fallen, I have thousands of miles of fertile land in Zhao, with hundreds of thousands of armor, the matter of calling the emperor is at the right time, I hope that the king can make an early decision. ”

When Li Chongjiu heard Ji Chuan say this, his heart also moved.

However, after Emperor Yang E gave birth to a girl, Empress Xiao said to herself that if Emperor Yang E gave birth to a boy this time, he could help him to call the emperor, the reason is that this male is the blood of the Yang family, and he is established as the prince, and he can use the momentum of the previous dynasty to change his name to a little more straightforward.

The implication of Empress Xiao's words is to persuade herself to slow down a little longer, anyway, she and Emperor Yang E are still young, and they will have children in the future, and they will be called emperor when they have a man, which can be a matter of course.

Li Chongjiu was a little hesitant when he heard it, but today Ji Chuan's words woke him up, he drew his sword and rose up between Qianmo, and there are three points in the world today, every inch of land is taken with a sword and blood, and it depends on the power of the Yang family.

When will you call yourself the emperor, when will you see the face of a woman and a great Sui who has long since disappeared?
