This ceremony - how to say? It's a failure. Everyone knows that the saints in the palace are fake, and the court is pretending to be a ghost. The real saint is Li Yuyao of Xi'an County, and Li Yuyao scolds the emperor like a dog. In addition, the power of the Holy Land is much greater than that of the Mainland.

It stands to reason that the prestige of the court would be very low, at least I think.

However, the opposite is true. The prestige of the imperial court increased. In the eyes of the world, the holy land is like heaven, and the holy woman is like a god. In the past, people called someone emperor only because he had the most soldiers, and no one was stupid enough to really believe that he was the Son of Heaven - well, except for fools and students. Now, people really think that imperial power is divinely granted.

Everyone in Chang'an said: "Li Hongsi is the emperor!" The Holy Land and the Holy Maiden recognize the Tang Dynasty! ”

Everyone in Gyeonggi said, "Lee Hongsi is the true son!" Even the saints came from the Holy Land to crown him! ”

Everyone in the world said: "Li Hongsi is the son of God!" Even the Holy Land and the Holy Maiden listened to him! ”

Of course, those who had known about the Holy Land, Sichuan, and the Senate before didn't believe it. For them, the current emperor is no different from the previous emperor, they all claim to be divine authority of the monarchy, except for the bigger fists, there is nothing remarkable.

I must tell the truth, from a practical point of view, Li Hongsi, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was the least powerful emperor, the Tang court was the weakest court, and the Tang Empire was only a loose union of provinces.

Do you know why Zhao Yuyang, the head of the household department, Zhang Qiangsheng, the director of the secret department, Yang Mingyang, the minister of the law department, and Pu Qinghong, the head of the Pu family in Liaodong, overthrew the Dongming court with just four people? Not because I killed Emperor Zhu Zhaoding of the Eastern Ming Dynasty first, nor because Li Hongsi had the legitimacy to be the emperor, nor because of the support of Sichuan and the Holy Land, but because: the provinces of the world are too lazy to interfere with the central court.

There are more than 4 billion people in the world, and there are only more than 200 million people in Gyeonggi, which of the inland provinces is not 3 or 400 million? They really want to interfere with the central court, and Gyeonggi really has no good way. For the provinces outside the Guanxi Province, this Chang'an coup killed Zhu Zhaoding, who was difficult to deal with, and replaced him with Li Hongsi, who looked very good, and they couldn't ask for it.

Tang Imperial Palace, West Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

The black plane of the saint Li Yuqin was placed in front of the palace.

On a white marble platform 100 meters long, 90 meters wide, and 10 meters high, the black plane of the saint Li Yuqin was quietly parked on it. Since it was hoisted from Qianzhou to Gyeonggi, the plane has passed through Liu Xingchao, the head of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Senate, the Han Emperor Liu Xingchao, the first Shi clan of the co-governance Qian Zhaoding, the first emperor of the Eastern Ming Dynasty Zhu Zhaoding, and now it is finally in the hands of the Tang Emperor Li Hongsi - unfortunately, none of them know even a little about it.

In order to study it, Liu Xingchao sent Zhao Yuyang to use all means, and Qian Zhaoding sent Zhang Qiangsheng to use all means, and they began to break it with their hands, pry it with a crowbar, smash it with an axe, then hit it with a pistol, blow it up with explosives, bombard it with artillery, and finally lift it up a few hundred meters with a helicopter and throw it into the ground - but there was not even a scratch on the plane!

People gave up hope, so they placed it under the palace as an ornament.

Although I knew it was a waste, most people in the world thought that this plane was a gift from the Holy Land to the Emperor, just as the imperial court claimed, and that it could take off at any time and blow up the world.

Every day, when the ministers went to court, they all passed by this plane - I don't know what they thought.

On February 2 of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the first court meeting of the Tang Empire was held.

Anyone who often goes to the court can see at a glance the personnel arrangements of the court - through the position of the people.

People attach great importance to the dignity of status, and the dignity of status is reflected in the position. Each position has a fixed position, not even a millimeter.

I remember that more than eight years ago, when I first came to the court, I saw my colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs pouting and smashing nails on the palace court. I asked curiously why. They told me that they were smashing a red nail into the red carpet so that the ministers could know their position by touching the nail with their feet when they attended the court. They said that the nail must not be worse than a millimeter, because if it is, the minister is guilty of rebellion. Often some ministers accidentally stand in the position of others, if they stand in the position of high officials, this is trespassing, capital crime; If you stand with the lower officials, this is a mitigating and capital crime; If you stand in the middle of a nail, it is a capital offense, because it is a disregard for ethics.

Later, I heard from my colleagues that there were more rules in it, and the inner court often took this whole person. When someone offended the inner court, the inner court removed his nails or crooked them, and the man died. Someone has a good relationship with the inner court, and the inner court puts a brick under the blanket in front of his position, so that when he kowtows, the sound is very loud - when the emperor hears it, hey, this person kowtows loudly, he must be a loyal minister, so he promotes him......

Just thinking about these messy things, the pilgrimage began.

As usual, on the right are the imperial officials of the inner court, and on the left are the ministers of the outer court.

On the right:

Zhao Yuyang. He is the head of the Tang Dynasty. Despite his terrible reputation, everyone complimented him, saying "loyal and reliable", "young and promising", "beautiful appearance", "talented" and "exceptionally smart...... He was quite happy. Actually, I think these are all backwords, he is a "slave with three surnames", "young and less knowledgeable", "ugly, thin and short", "low background", "only smart"......

Zhang Qiangsheng. He is the head of the Tang Imperial Secret Service. He is only 24 years old this year, and he took the entrance examination last year and won the top prize among 1 million people. Zhao Yuyang is only the third, and Zhang Qiangsheng is the champion - he is not only the champion of this session, he is the champion of almost seven sessions, because since Zhao Zhengbao's rebellion, the imperial court has not held an examination. After he became the champion, he was not reused by the money at first. Qian Zhaoding showed them the collection of books of the Senate and asked them to rebuild the various departments of the former Ming Dynasty. At this time, Zhang Qiangsheng, the champion, really stood out and organized the reconstruction of the Royal Computer, the Royal Arsenal, the Royal Fuel Factory, the Royal Psychiatric Hospital, and so on. On top of that, he re-established the Royal Secret Service and was appointed Director. The Secret Service is directly accountable to the Emperor and has unlimited powers.

Chen Ju. He is the deputy head of the Tang Dynasty. He's mysterious, because no one had heard of him before - and besides, his name was two words! Some people say that he and Zhao Yuyang are "the same year", some people say that he is the second queen Dongfang Mingyue, some people say that he is the leader of the martial arts alliance who has rejuvenated himself, and some people say that he is the eldest son of the Chen family of Qicheng, Shandong, who has a national hatred and family hatred. However, in the imperial court's appointment letter, the imperial court described him as "loyal and reliable", "young and promising", "handsome and chic", "noble-born", and "unusually intelligent". - All of this, of course, is fart. I don't know anything about myself, so how can outsiders know about me?

Chen Enze. He is the head of the Datang Royal Intelligence Department. He was the star of last year's examination, and he was a little worse than Zhang Qiangsheng. He is also extremely skilled, and together with Zhang Qiangsheng, he rebuilt the ministries. His only flaw is that he is too weak, or to put it another way, a good person. In last year's co-governance court, Zhang Qiangsheng controlled many people, and Chen Enze was almost a bare-bones commander. Although he is the head of the Intelligence Division, the powers of the Intelligence Division are much smaller than those of the Secret Division. The intelligence department can only collect intelligence, and has no law enforcement power or anything, and it is completely incomparable with the secret department that covers the sky with one hand.

Lv Chengzhi. He is the commander of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Jinyi Guard. The Jinyi Guard was the Emperor's personal arm, responsible to the Emperor alone, and had power to the heavens - however, this was theoretical. Since the Jinyi Guards are all composed of scholars, it is very chaotic. It's okay for them to bully and bully the people who sell roasted sweet potatoes on the street, but if they really want to engage in some conspiracy to destroy the whole clan, they are still too timid.

Lu Ziluo. He's the president of Imperial University, and there's a bunch of part-time jobs — because those positions are so unimportant that I don't even bother to say them.

Zhao Pumin. It is said that this person is the same year as Zhao Yuyang and Chen Ju. He is also very capable, although not as powerful as the first two.

The rest are all minions, deputy ministers and whatever. The inner court died too much, and when the former chief Li Yongfu died, the inner court died; Liu Xingchao usurped the throne and almost died; The Tang Dynasty was established, except for Zhang Qiangsheng's people, who were almost dead.

Therefore, there are more people on the left. The left side of the court was crowded, as if it had been a temple fair; The right side is deserted, like a graveyard.

On the left:

Yang Mingyang. Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty and Minister of Law, head of the Hongnong Yang family, thirty-nine years old.

Park Quanan. There are no positions. The reason why he stands in this place is because he represents Liaodong and the first empress Pu Qinghong.

Oriental Forever White. There are no positions. The reason why he stood in this place was because he represented Xiliang and the second empress, Dongfang Mingyue. In fact, he was having an awkward relationship with his father Dongfang Chengping.

The three of them stood in the first row, and each row behind them was ten people, a total of more than a dozen rows.

Some of them are ministers. In the past, all ministers were imperial officials, and all of them were from Wenju people; Now that the inner court is dead, they are all from the noble family.

Some of them were provincial governors and representatives of the overseers in Beijing. In the past, most of the governors and overseers were imperial officials, but now the world has been in turmoil for eight years, and the imperial officials are either dead or claim not to be imperial officials, so they are all on the left side.

There are also the eunuchs and beggars, the leaders and supervisors of the four major religions. Of course, I don't need to remind you that they are all fake.

The first court meeting of the Tang Empire was held under this circumstance.
