Chapter 142 Shuowang Dynasty

(My younger brother and sister were critically ill and stayed all night.) I'm so sleepy now, there may be a lot of typos, forgive me...... ）

On April 15, the 11th year of the Tang Dynasty, the Shuowang Dynasty was held as scheduled!

At the beginning of the hour, the oversized bronze bell on the dragon's head was struck continuously, with a total of ninety-nine rings before and after. It is like a wake-up call for later generations, reminding all officials above the ninth rank in Beijing that it is time to get up and put on clothes to go to court. Under the dragon's head, dozens of two-person high cowhide drums also beat at the same time, and the drum beat was slow and urgent. urged a group of officials, especially those below the fifth grade, to be embarrassed, and kept cursing the drummers of the Royal Forest Army who beat the drums in their hearts:

"The king of Hades asks for his life and gives his soul time to leave his body, what are you thieves urging? Didn't you go to court at the beginning of the hour? How can such a loud drum not shock you? ”

…… Of course, the shock can't be killed, these soldiers have cotton stuffed in their ears......

There is no way, officials below the fifth rank only need to go to court on the fifteenth and thirtyth lunar days every month. And most people usually develop the habit of sleeping lazy, so it is indeed cruel to suddenly ask them to get up more than an hour earlier than usual. Unlike those Beijing officials who are above the fifth grade. Although there are five people and six people outside, they are majestic. But only they know what it's like. Especially on this April day, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is a happy thing to sleep until dawn. But because he was reluctant to take off the scarlet official robe, he had to grit his teeth every morning, and bid farewell to his wife with great perseverance, "> the child hot kang head, got up upside down, rode a horse and a sedan chair to Daming Palace, and reported to His Majesty Li Er......

Although they were reluctant to get out of bed, all the officials acted quite aggressively today. Because they all know that there will be a major news to be announced in today's dynasty. That is the result of the triennial Spring Palace, which will be announced on the Yellow Silk Emperor List. It was first read to the ministers in the main hall, and then posted to the Ministry of Rites for all the spring scholars to see!

Li Rusong is an official who belongs to the fifth grade or above, so he has no resentment in his heart. On the contrary, he is looking forward to today's great court meeting. Because he also desperately wants to know who the champions of Jinke Chunfu, Tanhua, and Bangyan are. I also want to know what my baby son Li Qin did in the exam!

So get up after washing. I didn't even use it early, so I brought two snacks. Then he boarded the carriage and hurried towards the Daming Palace. Walking and gnawing on the carriage, Haosheng experienced the pain of classmate Li Qin in the signing room a few days ago......

At the beginning of the hour, Li Shimin appeared on time on the main hall. It is also the purple and gold winged good crown, the golden dragon big crown of fur. The difference is that in today's dynasty, Li Shimin actually wore the Qinghong sword that he fought with him in the south and north in his early years. made all the officials look at each other, His Majesty the Emperor is going to take people today? You must know that this Qinghong Sword is the weapon used by Li Shimin in his early years to fight the country, the real sword of killing, and the people who died under this sword have long exceeded three digits.

A group of officials below the fifth rank naturally couldn't guess why Li Shimin was wearing this sword. But a few people in the group of old fritters with more than five grades vaguely guessed a rough idea: as early as a few months ago, His Majesty wore this sword once at a small court meeting. That time, it was when the military department was invaded by the mountain clans in the southwestern border town. And in the past few months, His Majesty and a cadre of important ministers have been tugging and fighting between suppression and appeasement all day long. Looking at today's posture, I am afraid that His Majesty has already made a decision in his heart!

After the great eunuch Wang De walked to the top of the jade steps and sat down on the throne of the Nine Dragons. Only then did he open his throat and shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived, and the hundred officials are early!" ”

This process has become a conditioned reflex for hundreds of officials. Wait for Wang De's voice to fall. Baiguan hugged Yugui with both hands, bent his knees, and knelt down with a bang, pouting his ass high, and shouting three long live in his mouth.

Li Shimin was very unimpressed by this show, raised his eyebrows, and ordered very plainly: "Zhongqing, calm down!" ”。 Why is this so, I have to mention that Li Shimin, who is considered a relatively enlightened emperor in Chinese history, although he vigorously promoted Buddhism and Taoism to consolidate his rule. But he himself never took any panacea, because he knew that emperors who had always coveted longevity were often short-lived ghosts! In his opinion, it is already very remarkable to be able to live to be 180 years old, and that Rausch son "Long live long live long live!" It sounds too hypocritical......

Of course, that's what the ministers thought in their hearts. The thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, if it is really long live and another long live, then how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian be embarrassed? Besides, since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors and five emperors to the present, who has ever seen an emperor who lives for tens of thousands of years......

Therefore, this set of fake things, the big guys didn't take it to heart. But this rule has been passed down from the ancestors, and everyone has to continue to play.

Played the false trick. Naturally, I still have to catch something dry. In such a big country, it is impossible not to do something practical. But as the king of a country, Li Shimin's majesty has to be maintained, so he even leaves the matter he asks to Wang De on his behalf:

"Your Majesty has a purpose: there is a morning music, and there is no retreat!"

How can there be no book? Officials below the fifth grade are waiting for this opportunity, hoping to become popular, win the favor of His Majesty, and wear the crimson five-grade official robe. Although I have to get up early every day, it is indeed a bit hard. But thinking about the majesty of five people and six people in front of people, I still have to fight!

At that moment, there were more than a dozen Beijing officials of six or seven grades enthusiastically playing. Li Shimin was also unambiguous, listened carefully one by one, and then either made a decision in person, or handed it over to the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries to handle the affairs played by these officials properly. Of course, they will not treat these officials who stretch their necks and look at themselves. Or add money, or raise the grade, or reward money, in short, as long as there is something to play, there will be a reward!

It was noon after the round. According to the normal work in the past. It was time for the officials to drop the official documents in their hands, go home with graceful horses, and enjoy the delicious food carefully cooked by the cook. But not today, Shuowang Dynasty, even if all the ministers stand until dark, they have to deal with the problems accumulated in half a month before they have the opportunity to step out of the gate of Hanyuan Palace. Of course, because he provoked the big boss Li Er, except for those who were forked out by the guards in front of the palace......

Li Shimin looked at the sky, estimated that it was time for dinner, and ordered Wang De to pass on the meal. Of course. At this time, it is not good to eat alone. If you let all the officials be hungry and keep their saliva, you will eat sweetly on it. Even if he, Li Shimin, is a big boss, I am afraid that he will be drowned by the saliva of hundreds of officials and buried by the twists and turns of the officials of the science and Taoism. It will also write a strong mark in history: abuse of ministers!

When the officials heard that Li Shimin had passed the meal, they breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, I can take a break, and during this time of eating, I can sit down. At this time, both sides of the court hall were equipped with cushions and desks similar to the Japanese tatami mats of later generations. This meal time, especially for those who are older but not with high official positions, is tantamount to the happiest time of the day. Eating royal food and drinking............ Clear soup, sit down and rub the old legs that have been standing all morning and are almost unconscious. Gee...... Why not drink, who drinks while having a working meal between meetings?

As for the old guys who are older and have high official positions. For example, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others. They are much more comfortable, Li Shimin misses the old, these old ** who fought with him all had a small horse when they were in the court, and they could put on half of their buttocks, which was much more comfortable than those standing officials.

After the working meal, the morning meeting continues. And the further you go, the more important it is. A small thing, if it is put to the end, who will still care about it after the dispersal of the dynasty?

At this time, there are two people in this court who have completely different minds. One is Li Xiaogong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Du Ruhui, the secretary of the Ministry of War! What does it mean to be very different? That's the two of them, one wants to report the good news, and the other wants to report the funeral!

Li Xiaogong, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the township test of Zhenguan for 11 years, and he naturally wanted to repay him. But he and Du Ruhui were originally comrades-in-arms who were killed from the trench of "Xuanwu Gate", and they were also very clear about Du Ruhui's funeral. After a little hesitation, he took the lead in standing up and coming out of class, wanting to report the good news first, so that His Majesty was in a better mood, and then let Du Ruhui report the funeral. In this way, when the board is hit. Du Ruhui may be less and lighter......

Unexpectedly, he only took a step, and heard His Majesty Li Shimin speak first:

"Where is the book of the military department?"

Hearing that His Majesty had opened his mouth to take the roll call, he had no choice but to retract his steps and cast a sympathetic look at Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, secretly complained in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart: The prince called "find something to beat", which is the official he said......

I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly went out of class to salute: "The minister is in ......"

Li Shimin didn't beat around the bush either: "Du Aiqing, I ask you, in recent months, has there been a new report from Langzhou?" ”

Du Ruhan swallowed his saliva, and replied astringently: "Back to Your Majesty, there is!" ”。 I thought to myself: Boss, didn't you ask knowingly? The military intelligence reports from all over the country have not been copied to you at the same time as they arrived at the military headquarters!

"Oh? Tell me and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, what major events have happened in Langzhou in recent months? ”

Du Ruyan became nervous again when he heard this: Your Majesty wants me to announce the situation in Langzhou in front of hundreds of officials at this time? Could it be ...... Your Majesty has made up his mind, regardless of the opposition of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Hou Junji, to use the weak army to conquer the mountain bureaucrats?

But His Majesty has an order and has to obey. Immediately, he had to clear his throat and honestly open his mouth to report the funeral...... And he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, because he knew that His Majesty must have clearly understood the events that had taken place in the entire Langzhou......
