The atmosphere before the start of today's meeting was a little different from that of normal days. The reason is that the emperor has not been to the official office of the Wende Hall for several days, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they don't know if the emperor will show up today.

Speaking of which, since the Great Song Dynasty, except for Emperor Yingzong because of his own health, the emperor has always been very diligent, unless there is a national mourning or the emperor himself is sick, there has almost never been a matter of the emperor not coming to the court. The first emperor Emperor Shenzong was recognized as the most diligent emperor since the Great Song Dynasty.

But the young people have set such a very bad precedent today, since the death of the Empress Dowager, he himself has become more and more perverse, and the treatment of the court meeting has become more and more casual, which is completely different from what his father did. Although he has not been absent from a large court meeting and a meeting of the six staff officers on such a large scale as the Chang Dynasty, everyone has no bottom in their hearts today.

At this time, the civil and military officials of the east and west classes had already stood in turn. Due to the three years of Chunhua of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (992 AD), there were many officials who were impeached by the imperial history because of their private salutes in the court, disorderly standing when kneeling and bowing, talking and laughing, or even just holding wat incorrectly or not entering the ranks in time after leaving the door, resulting in demotion of officials. Therefore, today, although everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, except for a few highly respected ministers in the two classes, everyone stands with bated breath, and the wat board is very upright in front of them.

Several incense burners next to the Zichen Hall were emitting white smoke, and the hourglass on the side of the hall was leaking sand, seeing that time was passing bit by bit, and Zhao Xu's trace never appeared.

After all, most of the people standing in the class are elderly, and they are used to being pampered on weekdays. If you stand there in an extremely rigid posture for a long time, you will inevitably have some inevitable physiological reactions. Some of them have numb legs and feet, some have backaches, and some are even dizzy from old eyes. And the appearance of these problems gradually led to the emergence of some small complaints.

Then, I don't know who started first, everyone began to rub their knees, stretch their waists, and twist their necks regardless of the image. Anyway, everyone is fighting with the same idea: the law does not hold the public accountable. Although Jin Shang is an emperor who attaches great importance to the image of etiquette, he can't degrade all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and he should be a veritable loner.

Suddenly, I saw a person come out of the East Ban Guard's Office, and said to everyone with a calm face: "Everyone, please calm down and pay attention to your own image and demeanor." Everyone is the courtier of the Lord, the pillar of the kingdom that the Lord holds high, and it is unreasonable to make such a noise in this land of the Son of Heaven in the inner court, right? Although the voice was not loud, it was full of energy, and immediately suppressed the noise of the crowd.

This person wears a crown of five beams of Jinxian on his head: a forehead painted with honeysuckle, a rhino and tortoiseshell hairpin, a pen, and a sable cicada embroidered with a cage scarf. The body is wearing a crimson Luo robe, a white flower Luo in the single, a crimson Luo skirt, a crimson Luo covering the knees, with a soap-colored ethereal skirt, a white Luo belt, a white Luo square heart curved collar, a jade sword, a pendant, a silver leather belt around the waist, a halo brocade ribbon, two jade rings hanging on it, white silk socks, soap leather shoes.

He looked to be about sixty years old, with a Chinese face, a long beard, eagle eyes like lightning, eyebrows like a sword, a slender and straight body, and he stood there like a green pine. At this time, although he stood towards the ministers, the wat board in his hand was very upright.

This is the only prime minister of the dynasty.

Everyone was reprimanded by Zhang Dun in two sentences, and they didn't dare to continue to make noise, so they all immediately calmed down, sorted out their clothes, and stood in turn.

I know that you may not be convinced, and I do not want you to be convinced, but I only ask you to guard yourselves and do your own thing. Where is the history of the palace servant?

The two attendants in the palace standing there in the north and south immediately responded in unison: The lower official is here!

Zhang Dan's face turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice: As the two of you in the palace, you have the responsibility to picket these disrespectful things in the court for the Lord, but you have turned a deaf ear, this crime of dereliction of duty can no longer be avoided.

The two palace attendants didn't dare to argue, so they had to nod their heads in frustration and respond: Yes!

In the imperial history, Cheng Andun saw that he talked about himself, and hurriedly came out and said: Qi Yu Xianggong, this crime of dereliction of duty, according to the Song law, is serious to be fined for one year, if the circumstances are relatively minor, it will be fined for three months, I don't know

He was pulled out by Zhangdun single-handedly, and he and Zhangdun were called two by the market together. When he heard about this name, although he spoke foul language, he was very useful in his heart, because it reflected that he was very close to the prime minister. At this time, he ignored so many people in front of him and asked such a question, just to tell everyone: My peace and Xianggong are all the way!

Zhang Dan's face sank, and he said: "Anton, your Yushitai is directly responsible to the Lord, and the three provinces and six ministries can't control you, and the old man can't control you! You still don't have to ask such a question in the future, this will make everyone misunderstand that your Yushitai is also under the control of my subordinate province, or even be swayed by me Zhangdun personally!

Anton was very bored, and said yes again and again in a somewhat disgraced manner!

I have to say that Zhang Dan's move to kill chickens and monkeys is very effective, everyone sees that not only the two palace servants were punished, but even important ministers like Yu Shi Zhongcheng were reprimanded, where did they dare to speak out. Although the soreness in the legs, waist, and elbows became worse, everyone no longer dared to say a word, only bowed their heads and endured bitterly.

And the two palace servants were even more shocked and regretful, and they no longer dared to slack off, they all cheered up the spirit of twelve, and swept around among the ministers with their eyes, in order to show an improper demeanor to cushion their backs, so as to accept the effect of meritorious service.

And so, a wordless fight began.

After a while, just when everyone thought that the matter of the first six official dynasties in the history of the Great Song Dynasty was about to appear for no reason, they suddenly saw two eunuchs entering in detail, and one of them went straight to the palace and shouted in a deep voice: The emperor has arrived!

Although the ministers did not see Zhao Xu's figure, they knelt down unusually neatly, and shouted long live in their mouths. To say that although this kneeling is uncomfortable, for the old ministers who have stood for a long time in front of them, it feels much more comfortable than standing. So, for a while, everyone's spirit returned.

At this time, I heard another small footsteps in front of me, and then a cough. Then, I heard a weak voice say: Flat!

The head of the palace immediately shouted: The emperor's dictation: Flat!

The ministers shouted long live again, and then they stood up neatly.

The head of the hall immediately shouted in his long and sharp voice: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!"

There was a petty official behind the eastern class: Cheng Jia Yan of the Chen Tai History Bureau played Your Majesty, the former had a guest star who committed the master's crime, fortunately His Majesty was kind-hearted, and he made a decision to amnesty the world in time, and this natural disaster has now disappeared. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty, this is the result of Your Majesty's benevolence touching heaven and earth, causing strange people to come from heaven! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

This sycophant named Jia Yan slapped loudly, and when the ministers heard it, goosebumps all over their bodies were grown, and they all frowned. However, Zhao Xu on the dragon seat at the head of the hall was very happy, a trace of blood appeared on his pale face, and he said with some eagerness: Aiqing said this, I am very relieved. It's just that I still want to ask, Aiqing can see where this stranger came from and where he is now?

Jia Yan said: Weichen watched the sky last night, and saw that the comet was covered by a golden light in the southeast, thinking that this stranger must be from the land of Jiangnan or Lingnan, and now he has shown his edge, and he has had his first confrontation with the comet!

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and whispered softly in his mouth: Could it be that person? He hurriedly gently encouraged Jia Yan and ordered him to return to his class.

At this time, Zhang Dian personally came out and said: Your Majesty: Your Majesty: Spring is approaching, because he was bound by his affairs some time ago, the candidate for this tribute has not yet been decided, and I hope that Your Majesty will make a holy judgment as soon as possible, so as not to delay this year's Spring Festival.

Zhao Xu obviously didn't care about this matter, so he asked: Can Zhang Xiang be recommended by anyone?

Zhang Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect that Zhao Xu hadn't even decided on the candidate to host the scientific examination. You must know that scientific examination is a basic way to take scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, and almost all the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty come from the imperial examination. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties were extremely cautious about the scientific examination, and the candidates for the chief examiner were all dictatorships of the Sacred Heart, and they did not discuss with all the ministers, including the prime minister.
