Chapter 82: Overcoming Difficulties Together
"Your Majesty, the minister can only eat one meal a day, but the minister's wife and children can't hold on!"
"There are eighty mothers in the courtiers, if you only eat one meal a day, I'm afraid you won't be able to last for a month!"
"The minister doesn't need His Majesty's food, what the minister's family has is food."
……
The voices in the Hanyuan Hall came and went.
Hundreds of officials are recounting their difficulties.
What's more, he actually said that he could eat as many meals as he wanted about his family's food, and your emperor couldn't control it at all, and he shouldn't care about it.
Li Mao's face gradually turned blue when she heard these words.
"This is a decision that I have negotiated with the two auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, as well as the six Shangshu, and no one in the Guanzhong region can disobey it."
"You have your difficulties, he has his difficulties, everyone in the world has their own difficulties, don't I have difficulties?"
"From today onwards, I will also lead by example, only eat one meal, and hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China can supervise it at any time."
"As long as you tide over the difficulties with me, after the world is calm in the future, I will definitely not fail you."
"When the time comes, everyone here will be awarded a gold medal for avoiding death in the Danshu written by me myself."
When it comes to Danshu iron coupons, we have to mention the founding fathers of the dynasty.
At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, gave each meritorious minister an iron coupon for Danshu.
But in the end, there are few people who can die well.
Of course, Li Mao didn't plan to do this at this time, as long as these officials didn't do anything illegal and disobeyed the orders of the imperial court.
Naturally, he would not massacre heroes like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
The emperor was so pretentious.
The officials had no problem in their minds again, so they naturally did not dare to jump out to oppose it again.
After all, the guards holding swords on both sides are not muddy people.
"The ministers are willing to tide over the difficulties with Your Majesty!"
Under the leadership of several confidant ministers, all the officials in the Hanyuan Hall shouted in unison.
"Haha, with the help of all the ministers, why worry about the world!" Li Mao laughed loudly, "After you go to the court, you will hand over all the food at home, and the household department will arrange it uniformly when the time comes." ”
In his heart, however, he did not believe what the officials said.
Most of these officials must be holding the idea that they are secretly eating at home, and even if you are the emperor, it is impossible to know.
Li Mao was not worried about this at all.
Dongchang's fan is not a dry meal, if anyone eats more, they will wait to raid the house the next day.
I believe that if you copy more than a dozen, these officials will naturally be conscious.
……
Today, the people in Chang'an City are all lively and watchable.
Compared with the Spring Festival when Li Longji was in charge in previous years, it was much happier.
Most of the more than 800 families who disobeyed the order to retreat from the land were wealthy families in Chang'an City.
As Li Mao expected, almost all the leaders were the Prince's Mansion, the Princess's Mansion, and the Concubine's Mansion, these royal relatives.
Behind each team of Dongchang fans, there are mighty ordinary people.
They were all very excited to see that the nobles who had been high in the past had all become prisoners at this time.
"How many are these?"
"The seventh!"
"My God, the Holy One should be really angry today, they are arresting people everywhere on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and hundreds of people have been arrested just what we saw, right?"
"Humph! Who told them not to obey the emperor's order to return the land? If you want me to say, these people should have been arrested last night, and they should not have been allowed to have an extra New Year's dinner. ”
"This brother, you are so ruthless! However, our new emperor is also really ruthless! It's almost to the point where the six relatives don't recognize each other. ”
"The previous one was Princess Tangchang's Mansion, and now it's Princess Changshan's Mansion, these two are the emperor's sisters!"
"What is this? I just heard the news that King Sheng Xuan has been arrested, and this prince is the younger brother of the Holy Mother's compatriots! ”
"I don't know what Your Majesty will do with these people, don't release them in a few days to harm us ordinary people."
"It's impossible to kill anyway!"
"I don't believe that the emperor would kill so many relatives."
……
Just as they were talking loudly, a group of cavalry kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust and poured into the Mingde Gate.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
"Wuguan victory! Wuguan victory! ”
Hearing that it was the messenger who reported the victory, all the people on Suzaku Street dodged to the side.
In this era, if you are killed by a horse from the imperial court, there is no insurance claim, and if you are not careful, you will be punished by the government for the crime of delaying the military aircraft.
A quarter of an hour later, the eight-hundred-mile urgent report document was transmitted into the Hanyuan Palace.
"New year, new weather, there is good news on the first day of the first month, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Xiao Song walked out of the queue as soon as possible and bowed down to Li Mao.
When the other officials in the palace saw this, how dare they slack off?
Li Linfu naturally would not be a maverick and be the first bird, and he also knelt down with everyone.
After everyone knelt on the ground, Xiao Song shouted again.
"The minister is His Majesty's congratulations, and the minister is the Tang Dynasty!"
"The minister is His Majesty's congratulations, and the minister is the Tang Dynasty!"
"The minister is His Majesty's congratulations, and the minister is the Tang Dynasty!"
Everyone in the Hanyuan Hall shouted in unison.
Li Linfu looked at Xiao Song's gaze at this time, full of resentment.
This was supposed to be his place, it was supposed to be his glory.
But now it has been taken away by Xiao Song.
Li Linfu didn't dare to be disrespectful to Li Mao, so he could only transfer his hatred to Xiao Song.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" Li Mao smiled, "Today is the first day of the first lunar month, so I won't delay your time, everyone should go home early and reunite!" ”
When the time comes to noon, if you don't put these officials back, will you still keep them for lunch?
Li Mao himself couldn't even open the pot.
Plans are also being made to collect some food from officials' homes.
"Retreat!" Zhao Gao shouted in a sharp voice.
This is how the process of the general pilgrimage meeting is.
After the ministers entered the palace before dawn, they could only see the emperor once, and then they would be driven out of the palace.
The real state affairs can only be participated in by officials above the six ministries.
As the sound of retreat sounded, everyone was waiting for the emperor to leave first.
Just as Li Mao was about to get up, he saw Li Linfu walk out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something important to play!"
Li Linfu bowed down, and at the same time peeked out of the corner of his eye.
The other officials in the hall were surprised.
Obviously, what Li Linfu wanted to say had not been communicated with the emperor in advance.
You must know that if it were not for the desire to set off a party dispute between the DPRK and China, it would be impossible for the minister to carry out a surprise attack at the DPRK meeting.
Li Mao has been cultivating herself every day recently, and she is not so angry with him anymore.
"If you have something to talk about later!"
Li Linfu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed down and replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Since the emperor is willing to see him in private, it means that the past has turned a page.
He will improve his health and return to his post as the first assistant of the Tang Cabinet.
