The last court meeting of the first year of the Great Song Dynasty Tianyun was held in the Qianming Palace, after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu gave part of the emperor's rights to the four kings, except for special major events, which were generally handled by the four kings, and the Great Song Dynasty was also different from the previous dynasty in that the daily court meeting was changed to a monthly court meeting. It is equivalent to the handling of ordinary government affairs and military affairs completely handed over to the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department to exercise the imperial power on behalf of the Emperor, and in some special times, the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department can also appropriately reduce the emperor's rights to avoid the appearance of a faint monarch.

The officials who participate in the monthly court meeting are basically the elders of the Senate and the head of the Ninth Yuan, Zhonglang Shi. And the military discipline department is the hereditary martial marquis and general. As for the Zongren Mansion and the Supervisory Yuan, except for the two kings, they did not need to participate in the court meeting.

In the main hall, the four kings sat in front of all the officials closest to the emperor, while the ministers in the rear could only stand. This is the biggest preferential treatment and difference given to the four kings during the Taizu period.

The emperor sat quietly on the dragon chair and listened to the reports of the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department about this month, about the situation in the states and the situation of the Great Song army. When the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department finished their reports for a month, they slowly retreated to the hundred officials.

"Your Majesty, this is about the situation of the Yunzhou family," King Jin stood up and saluted, holding this scroll of paper silk in his hand.

"Present," said the emperor, and when the attendant heard the emperor's words, he walked to the king of Jin and respectfully placed the scroll of paper in front of the emperor.

The emperor picked up the paper silk and looked at the contents on it, and at this time, the king of Jin also said in a deep voice: "This rebellion of the Yunzhou family killed and injured more than 30 officials, and 10 officials died. Twenty-one officers were slightly injured. More than 50 officials of the family in the court have all been dismissed from their posts and beheaded for rebellion, and the four elders of the Senate have colluded with the family and have been dismissed and executed, and there are no less than 100 people who have colluded with the family. ”

The hundred officials of the court meeting did not have many expressions when they heard the Jin king's front, but finally heard that since there were four pavilion elders in the senate who colluded with the family, all the officials were not only afraid for a while. Although I have known it for a long time, it is not simple to say it in the current court, and no one can say clearly how powerful a cabinet elder in the Great Song Dynasty is, and the right of the cabinet elder to best reflect the symbol of power is to directly advise the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my brother also has something to present, it is about the military situation in Yunzhou and the military situation in the southern border city this time," King Qi also got up and saluted after seeing that King Jin finished speaking, and took out a roll of paper silk from his sleeve.

The emperor did not speak, but waved his hand to ask the chamberlain to present the paper silk of the king of Qi.

"This time, our Great Song Dynasty mobilized the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army to suppress the rebellion of the Yunzhou family, and the soldiers of the three armies were killed by less than 5,000 people. The mobilization of the Ninth Army of the Great Song Dynasty assisted the Second Army of the Great Song Dynasty to assist in the defense of the border, and about 50,000 soldiers were killed. ”

Boom, the emperor slapped the table heavily after hearing the number of casualties of the Ninth Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Second Army of the Great Song Dynasty. The hundreds of officials underground immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm your anger." And King Feng and King Lu just sat on themselves and closed their eyes to recuperate, and did not look at the angry emperor and the kneeling officials.

"King Qi, go on," the emperor didn't have an official, and the hundred officials kneeling on the ground just said to King Qi

"Yes, Your Majesty. The three hereditary martial marquis of the Military Aircraft Department have colluded with the family and have now been dismissed and executed, and a large amount of gold and silver and cultivation materials have been seized from the family," King Qi sat back in his place after speaking.

"Hmph, since there are four pavilion elders, three hereditary martial marquis and a hundred officials colluding in this Yunzhou family rebellion, it is not the list given to me by the Supervision Yuan and the Zongren Mansion, otherwise I still don't know. Emperor Taizu gave part of the imperial power to the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department in order not to appear like the previous dynasty, and you will exercise the imperial power on my behalf," the emperor said coldly to the hundred officials.

And the hundreds of officials kneeling on the ground broke out in a cold sweat one by one, which was the biggest scandal since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. Not to mention the hundred officials, just the four pavilion elders and hereditary martial marquis can make the world laugh at the Great Song Dynasty.

"King Qi, King Jin," His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty," King Qi and King Jin stood up and saluted

"The Ninth Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Second Army of the Great Song Dynasty merged to form the Second Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Marquis of Zhongwu entered the military aircraft to claim the military affairs of Yunzhou and Nanzhou. The Emperor said

"Yes, Your Majesty," King Qi replied.

"Chen Yu was promoted to the elder of the Senate, Chen Hong was promoted to the head of the Ninth Yuan, and the chief of the former Ministry of Officials Yi was promoted to the elder of the Senate. The other two elders were sent by Confucianism to serve as holy Confucians. The Emperor then said to King Jin.

"Your Majesty," replied King Jin.

At this time, the hundred officials were extremely surprised to hear that two of the elders in the Senate were Confucian saints, and the saints were not less than the existence of sentences in each generation of Confucianism. And the most unexpected thing is that Xi Yi was suddenly promoted to the elder of the pavilion. At this time, Xi Yi was still surprised, if it weren't for the ministers on the side who resisted him, he would still be surprised.

"The selection of other officers and sergeants will be handled by the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department, so don't let me down again," the Emperor said and left the main hall.

"Retreat from the court", the chamberlain shouted after seeing the emperor leaving, and followed the emperor's footsteps.

The four kings and the hundred officials all stood up and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty"

Out of the Qianming Palace, Zhao Feng looked at the ministers around him and shook his head, and was just about to leave when he was stopped by the other three kings.

"Brother Wang, when you come back this time, you Brother Wang haven't done a good job of picking up the wind and washing the dust for you. Tomorrow night, the royal brothers will hold a banquet in the palace of the king of Jin, and invite the royal brother and the ethereal fairy," said the king of Jin, and the king of Qi and the king of Lu on the side also nodded.

"Brothers, how embarrassed are you, I'm afraid I'll disturb you," Zhao Feng excused

"What is Brother Wang's words, Brother Wang has been in the wilderness for three years for me, and now I have to face the upcoming storm, it is the brothers who have dragged Brother Wang's hind legs," King Qi sighed, this time the Military Aircraft Department and the people of the Senate colluded with the family, if it wasn't for King Feng's procuratorate, these people would still be kept behind.

"Brother Wang doesn't have to excuse himself," King Lu said.

"In that case, then tomorrow night Brother Wang will nag you brothers," Zhao Feng replied without hesitation.

"Okay" King Jin was just about to say something, when a chamberlain trotted over and saluted, "Four princes, Your Majesty has invited King Feng to Qianling Palace."

In addition, after the three kings heard the words of the inner servant, they didn't understand the reason, so they said to Zhao Feng: "Since the emperor invites us, we will leave first," and left the front of the main hall after speaking.

Zhao Feng looked at the backs of the other three princes, shook his head, and said to the attendant next to him, "Lead the way."

At this time, the Qingtian Divine Sect and the envoys of the southern countries had already left for the Great Song Dynasty to conduct this difficult negotiation.

"This king also wants to see what kind of ability the Feng King, who is extremely feared by the whole world," said a man in the carriage of the mission, dressed in the official residence of a certain country in the southern countries.
