Chapter 016: On Meritorious Deeds
The sky is slightly bright.
Early in the morning, Qingji held a court meeting with the ministers in the main hall.
As early as when the army entered the city, Qingji had already sent someone to inform the ministers and doctors about the meeting, so none of the ministers were left behind, and everyone who should have come came to participate.
At this time, Qingji had already taken off the armor on his body and was wearing a regular dress that belonged to the emperor!
Because Gai has not yet been crowned, although Qingji is already the actual king of Wu, it is still inconvenient to be called a lonely widow and wear a crown robe.
I saw Qing Ji at this time, wearing a black corset, covered with a high-quality, embroidered dragon and phoenix, a silk feather coat of white color, wearing a long crown, looking heroic and majestic, very luxurious and mighty.
Qingji, who was born in a royal family and has good genes, is naturally born with a good skin.
"Ministers, see the king! 10,000 years, 10,000 years, 10,000 years! ”
Under the guidance of the temple people (eunuchs), Qingji entered the main hall from the door on the left side, ascended to the majestic platform, and accepted the tsunami-like worship of the ministers and doctors.
Qingji stood in front of the throne, raised his eyes and looked down at the ministers who were paying homage under the majesty's platform, and for a while, he couldn't help but feel excited!
The king of a country, holding the authority of a country, lives and kills to take it.
This is something that many people have dreamed of since ancient times?
In order to ascend to this position, throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have died in Huangquan and their heads are in different places!
The monarch represents the supreme existence in this country.
When Qingji is standing here and sitting on the throne, how can his mood not be complicated?
"No courtesy, flat!"
"King Xie!"
With Qingji casually lifted, the ministers and doctors under His Majesty's stage all stood up one after another, sat on their own futon, and sat upright.
In this day and age, kneeling and sitting on the ground is very particular!
In ancient times, sitting could be done together, but kneeling was not the same.
Sitting, either upright or on the heels.
Kneeling, on both knees, straight, buttocks off heels!
In the preface, sitting can be kneeled together, precisely because sitting can take the kneeling posture, and kneeling can not be used to sit in the sitting posture.
In addition, try to sit on the heels when talking, and take a kneeling position when eating, which is also in line with the human body structure!
And in the middle of this, the feet are not allowed to be spread out, like a dustpan.
This is indecent and rude to others, so it has always been forbidden.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the monarchs and ministers were different in respect and inferiority, they all knelt or stood to feast and deliberate, but there were differences in the positions of deliberations and meals.
The deliberations of the imperial court, with the north and east as the top!
It is recorded in the "Book of Rites: The Ming Hall": The princes of the Zhou Dynasty in the past were in the Ming Hall: the Son of Heaven stood with an axe in Nanxiang; Sangong, before the intermediate level, north to east.
The position of the princes, the east of the steps, the west to the north.
The kingdom of the princes, the west of the western steps, the east to the north.
Since then, the north and east have been on the top until the end of the Qing Dynasty!
On the contrary, the banquet is recorded in the "Book of Rites: Qu Lishang": Xi: Nanxiang and Beixiang, with the West as the top; Dongxiang and Xixiang, with the south as the top.
It can be seen that the banquet and drinking are in the west and the south!
It is worth mentioning that since the beginning of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, so far, the monarchs and ministers have sat and talked with each other, and they will not kneel at every turn.
Later, it gradually evolved into officials standing in front of the monarch!
Historically, since the Yuan Dynasty, there have been rules for kneeling and worshipping.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it began to flood, and reached its peak, not only degrading human dignity, but also raising the servile character of many people, so it was extremely harmful!
At this time, Qingji, who was sitting on the throne, looked around, looked at the ministers under His Majesty who were like old monks, and said loudly: "I Qingji was able to enter the Wu capital and succeed in courting the thief, and you are all indispensable!" ”
"This battle, in order to set things right, is a war in the country, and Qing Ji only punishes the evil, regardless of the group of murderers!"
"All the old people who rebel against the thief Ji Guang, Qingji can be disposed of one by one."
"Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished!"
"Jizi!"
Qingji screamed, but he didn't see any response from His Majesty, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
"Where's Jizi?"
At this time, the doctor was taken out of the hand holding the tooth wat and said: "King Qi, Ji Zi is decorating at home...... Pretend to collect the corpses of children and grandchildren, hold funerals, so take leave! ”
Ask for leave?
Qingji didn't know about this, but he could also understand Ji Za.
After all, at such an age as Ji Zha, it is not easy for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.
"Spread the edict, give Ji Zi's two sons and one grandson, bury him with the gift of the king, and set up an ancestral hall for him in Xianghu. On the day of my burial, I ...... The widow should lead the minister and doctor to worship in person to comfort his soul in the sky! ”
"The Great King is Rende!"
The ministers all shouted.
Buried with the ceremony of the king, and set up an ancestral hall to worship, this is a great honor for the minister's doctor, mourning!
This is not only out of Qingji's sympathy and importance to Ji Zha, but also reflects Qingji's advocacy of this kind of sacrificing life for righteousness.
Under the words and deeds of Ji Za, it is not easy for his children and grandchildren to do this!
"Meng Ben and Heifu stepped forward to listen to the seal!"
"The last general!"
The two generals who were jealous of their henchmen suddenly came out of the ranks.
"You and others hunt and defend with the widows, recruit soldiers and train soldiers, wave their teachers to fight against rebellion, and share weal and benetime, and make great contributions."
"The widow is the two of you as the upper doctor, and there are 300 households in Hongshang and Yanling, each of which is given a first-class mansion and 20 slaves!"
Hearing this, Meng Ben and Heifu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Wait for the king's reward!" Long live the king! ”
The official title of the doctor is really not low, and the reward of Qingji is very rich.
Not to mention the mansion and the slaves, the 300 households in the food town are not trivial!
The secretaries and doctors of the kingdoms of the world have used the mining as food for generations, and have the right to eat tax, so they are called food towns.
The secretary and the doctor have the right to rule in the food and have obligations to the king.
At present, Heifu and Meng Ben have been promoted to the rank of doctor again, which can be described as a step to the sky!
But, they deserve it.
Just because they followed Qingji in their early years, they still did not abandon when they were in trouble, they were loyal, and they made a lot of contributions!
Now that Qingji has gained power, how can he forget his heroes?
Immediately afterwards, Qingji rewarded the former ministers of the Wu royal bureaucracy, only some silk cloth, linen and money, and for the meritorious soldiers, most of them were added to the official ranks, and the mansions and servants were given.
It's a happy scene!
Only those ministers who had been promoted by He Lu were still uneasy in their hearts.
But Qingji didn't deal with these people immediately!
This is a lot of people, and there are still celebrations.
As a monarch, He Lu can indeed be discerning and knowledgeable!
Therefore, Qingji believes that among these old ministers, there must be many talents.
Now that Qingji has become the king of Wu, he can not blame them for the past and stay in office for a while!
However, what made Qingji feel depressed was that in addition to Ji Zha, another meritorious minister, Sun Ping, was also absent from the court meeting.
