Chapter 41: The Upright Minister
The day after the end of the poetry meeting, it was the court meeting, and the court meeting in Luoyang was held in the Wucheng Hall in the Luoyang Palace.
After arriving in Luoyang, Emperor Li Zhi also wanted to hold a court meeting and discuss court affairs with the hundreds of officials who accompanied him, but in Luoyang it was not like in Chang'an, which was changed to a five-day dynasty.
The first content of today's court meeting is to announce the results of the poetry review meeting presided over by Bo Shangguan Wan'er, the secretary of the Shanggong Bureau.
The results were announced by Emperor Li Zhi himself, and the selected outstanding poems were read out by the eunuchs.
Although it is a bit uninteresting to say that the eunuch's shrill voice reads Liu Yi's two poems, most officials have already known these poems from other channels, and the content of the poems has been read and comprehended the unusual momentum of these poems.
Liu Yi is also on duty today, standing on the side of the hall, and the eyes of the hundreds of officials participating in the court meeting are constantly looking at Liu Yi who is standing on duty in the hall.
The winner of the first martial arts title in the Tang Dynasty has such an extraordinary literary talent, which is not simple.
Since Zhenguan, especially in the past ten years, the phenomenon of emphasizing literature over military force in the DPRK and China has been very serious, and people with good literary talents, especially those with excellent poetry, are more likely to be reused. But now that our Tang Dynasty has defeated Qinghai, Li Zhi, as the emperor, and Wu Zetian, the empress who holds great power, have come to their senses, and there are too few generals who are good at fighting in the DPRK, so they decided to hold a martial arts event, and strive to select some brave warriors.
Such actions by the imperial court raised the status of military commanders, and the brave warriors were re-respected. If the literary talent is good, the martial arts are strong, and the degree of respect is even more unusual, like Liu Yi, who won the championship in martial arts and is very outstanding in poetry, it is the most natural to be respected, envied and jealous by others.
When those ministers who Liu Yi knew or didn't know the name looked at him with different meanings, Liu Yi also felt a kind of glory that he had never had, both civil and military outstanding, there were few people in the world, although it was said that the reputation of this literature was "stolen", but no one knew that they were stolen, that was their own, and no one else could snatch it, even if the real author appeared in this world after more than ten or decades.
Liu Yi also saw Shangguan Wan'er standing on the side of the hall casting a strange gaze, Liu Yi turned his face slightly, wanting to see what this beauty was saying, what he saw was a slightly sweet smile that Shangguan Wan'er showed to him, and when he saw Liu Yi paying attention to her, Shangguan Wan'er also pursed her mouth with a smile and raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little unconvinced, Liu Yi didn't say anything, so she turned her head.
Li Zhi seemed to appreciate Liu Yi's poems last day, and deliberately discussed the matter with the ministers at the court meeting, "Qianniu Wei Qianniu prepared Liu Yi, and won the championship with a few excellent works at the poetry appraisal meeting, and I and the queen were originally going to give a reward, but someone suggested that these two days, the martial arts competition in the palace is about to begin, and the results of several events should be announced together, and I also promise hereby that if Liu Yi can win the championship in the palace martial arts competition, I and the queen of heaven will double the reward!"
The emperor announced such a thing at the court meeting, which surprised the ministers, which clearly indicated to everyone that Liu Yi's performance had attracted the attention of the emperor and the empress, and if he performed well in the palace competition, it would be further reused.
"Your Majesty, it should be so," when the ministers were still in doubt, Pei Xingjian, the servant of the ministry, stood up and played: "Wen Tao and Wu are extraordinary, the court should give reuse, this can inspire the world's scholars and warriors, both civil and military cultivation is the best way to serve the country and make a name for themselves, in the long run, there will be more civil and military talents for the imperial court!"
As soon as Pei Xingjian said this, some ministers who originally wanted to stand up and express their dissenting opinions also kept silent.
Pei Xingjian, who presided over the affairs of the ministry, has formulated a lot of rules for personnel selection over the years, which has been praised by the emperor and empress, and has therefore selected a lot of talents, both civil and military, and these talents have shown very good, which has also achieved Pei Xingjian's reputation, and almost everyone admires him in terms of knowing people. Liu Yi was recommended by Pei Xingjian, and after being used by the imperial court, he also performed well in all aspects, but he is said to be a very good talent, and it is very reasonable to say that Pei Xingjian said this now, and it is very reasonable to inspire a large group of people with an example, which is what the monarch likes to see the most, the emperor and the empress have this intention, and Pei Xingjian, who is famous for knowing people, said the same thing, how dare others oppose it again.
"Well, the people recommended by Pei Aiqing are not ordinary people, and I also hope that in the future, you can recommend more talents to me and the queen, this is my luck, the luck of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Zhi said and stood up, "Understand the palace martial arts competition, I and the queen will personally watch the battle and cheer for the brave!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Several ministers stood up and slapped on the back.
--------
The first major event of the court meeting was announced, and other matters were discussed.
Most of the other court affairs discussed today were sent by Li Xian, the crown prince of Chang'an, who was in charge of the state, and he and the courtiers who stayed in Chang'an already had opinions on how to deal with them, and Li Zhi basically agreed with Li Xian's opinions.
After everything was discussed, Li Zhi was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, but the servant Shi Di Renjie stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!"
"What does Di Aiqing have to play?" Li Zhi frowned slightly, and the imperial history said that if there is something to play, it is often not a good thing.
Sure enough, as Li Zhi expected, Di Renjie impeached the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"The minister impeached Si Nongqing Wei Hongji. Wei Hongji played the will of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven to build the Shangyang Palace, but did not follow the will of the two saints to build, looking at the completion of the Shangyang Palace, too luxurious, this is to lead His Majesty to extravagance, waste the court's money and materials, contrary to His Majesty's frugal style, the minister feels that he should be given a heavy responsibility!" Di Renjie said in a very firm tone.
As soon as Di Renjie said this, it was like a thunderclap, which stunned many people. Wei Hongji was ordered by the emperor to build these palaces in Luoyang, after the emperor and the queen came to Luoyang this time, they also praised Wei Hongji, praised him for supervising the construction of these palaces and doing his duty, and built these palaces very beautifully.
Liu Yi, who was standing on the side of the hall, looked at Di Renjie with some admiration, he also felt that the construction of Shangyang Palace was too luxurious, even more than the Daming Palace, I don't know how much it would cost, but he felt that he did not have the courage of Di Renjie, and openly stood up in the court to accuse the builders.
After listening to Di Renjie's impeachment, Li Zhi's face was also a little unpleasant.
At this time, Ming Chongyan stood up in the train: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister opposes Di Yushi to blame Wei Si Nongqing for this!"
Seeing Ming Chongyan stand up, Liu Yi was overjoyed for no reason, wanting to see how this wizard, who was deeply favored by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, fought with Di Renjie.
"Your Majesty and Niangniang spend a lot of time in Luoyang in a year, the original palace has been dilapidated, must be repaired, now my Tang Dynasty is becoming stronger, Your Majesty and Niangniang's prestige is long, you need a luxurious palace to reflect my Tang Emperor His Majesty and the supreme majesty of the Queen of Heaven, the minister feels that compared with the prestige of His Majesty and Niangniang, Shangyang Palace is built and luxurious, but it is too simple, not enough to reflect the prosperity and majesty of my Tang Dynasty! Someone uses this to impeach Wei Sinongqing, which is a great disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and please ask His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven to have a clear understanding!" What Ming Chongyan said was reasonable.
Listening to what Ming Chongyan said, Liu Yi stared at Di Renjie standing in the court, wanting to see how this servant who is not yet a high status can deal with it...
