Following.

The Great Chu Palace, the new monarch of the early dynasty.

Xiang Chong was extremely excited, he changed his dragon robe and crown early, and when he was waiting for a good day in the apse, he asked the hundred officials to bow to him, the new monarch of Great Chu.

"Queen Mother, do you think your sons don't look like emperors?"

Xiang Chong held his head high and walked around.

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "My son is also a member of the Xiang clan and a descendant of Taizu Miao, of course like an emperor." Especially when my son wears a dragon robe, he looks more like an emperor than anyone else. ”

The conversation between the mother and son, Chen Gonggong on the side listened to it, but felt that it was not a taste.

The son is not smart, how can he be a mother and be confused?

The emperor is the emperor, not a drama, why do you need to ask if it looks like it?

But Chen Gonggong is a real slave and has never forgotten his duty as a slave.

Even if you have an opinion about the master in your heart, you will never say it on your lips.

"How many civil and military officials came?" Xiang Chong asked again.

Gonggong Chen is the chief manager of the inner house, and he has countless eyeliner in the palace.

How many courtiers came to the main hall, Gonggong Chen knew the most.

"Your Majesty, according to Chu Law, officials with an annual salary of more than 2,000 stone can go to the pilgrimage every day."

"In the capital, there are a total of 732 civil and military officials who meet the standards."

Xiang Chongxi said: "There are more than 700 people who came to kowtow to me?!" ”

"Forehead ......"

Chen Gonggong really didn't understand.

is obviously already a great Chu Tianzi, but he only thinks that there are hundreds of people kowtowing to him?

The Fan family still controls the power of Da Chu, but Xiang Chong doesn't seem to be aware of it, and there is no tension at all?

Chen Gonggong patiently explained: "There are more than 700 civil and military ministers with the qualifications of the previous dynasty, but the official offices at all levels must keep people on duty, and there are many ministers on personal leave, sick leave, and dispatch to Beijing......

"Alright, alright."

Xiang Chong listened to Chen's father-in-law Luo Li's ramblings, and only then did he know that there were not so many people kowtowing to the court, and his interest was immediately halved.

"You just say, how many people should come today, how many people have arrived, and how many people are still missing? I'm going to punish those who should have come but didn't! ”

"Huh?" Gonggong Chen was stunned.

On the first day of the new monarch's reign, he did not extend kindness and amnesty to the world, but severely punished the ministers?

Is this appropriate?

Xiang Chong glared: "What?" The subordinates despise the king, and I can't punish them? Where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven? Where is the monarchy? ”

"Your Majesty is right!"

Although Gonggong Chen could pinch Xiang Chong to death with one finger, he immediately knelt down and agreed.

The old eunuch said helplessly: "There should be at least three hundred and sixty-five civil and military officials who should go to the court today to bow to the new king, but there are three hundred and sixty-four, and there is still one shortage......

"Is there really anyone who doesn't dare to come?"

Xiang Chong laughed angrily.

"Spread the decree, dismiss that guy who doesn't know what to do, go to prison, raid his home, and then exterminate the clan!"

Gonggong Chen was surprised: "But Your Majesty ......"

Xiang Chong waved his hand to interrupt: "Destroy the Nine Clans!" No one is allowed to intercede! ”

"But that person is Fan Li......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!"

Xiang Chong coughed violently, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!?"

Grandpa Chen smiled bitterly.

Say it early?

Did you give people a chance to speak?

"Gonggong Chen, didn't you go to Fan's Mansion to deliver the decree? Why didn't Fan Li come? Empress Dowager Li said with a straight face.

"This ......"

Gonggong Chen didn't have the face to say, and only skimmed away from the sky with his eyes.

His meaning is very simple: it is not yet time, and Fan Li just didn't come, but he wasn't late.

"Don't wait for Fan to leave! I'll be early now! ”

As soon as Xiang Chong thought of Fan Li, he was also uncomfortable.

He was really afraid that Fan would leave after a while, and if he refused to kneel and knock three times and nine times for himself, it would really make him unable to get off the stage.

Simply, enjoy the bowing of hundreds of officials first!

"Gonggong Chen, drive the Jinluan Palace." Xiang Chong said dryly.

The old eunuch was speechless for a while.

Isn't this in the apse of the Golden Luang Palace? A bend is the front hall, what kind of frame is there?

"Yes, get ahead." Gonggong Chen said weakly.

Front hall.

The civil and military officials all looked solemn, and no one spoke, not even whispering.

The ministers only used their eyes to communicate information, and obviously knew that today was a very special day.

"Your Majesty is coming."

Suddenly, the ministers heard the singing of the eunuch, the chief eunuch of Ouchi.

They moved skillfully and began to stand according to their rank and subordinate.

Xiang Chong sat down on the dragon chair and looked condescendingly at the hundred civil and military officials of Great Chu.

Scold!

This is the perspective of the Son of Heaven?

It's so cool!

"Kneel."

Gonggong Chen knew what the new emperor was expecting, and he didn't delay his efforts and went straight to the point.

"Ministers see my emperor, long live long live long live."

The hundred officials really knelt.

Xiang Chong looked at the hundred officials who were kneeling and knocking, but he felt inexplicably awkward.

Obviously, they knelt and kowtowed skillfully, but the more than 300 people kowtowed together, but it was completely uneven.

In addition to the untidy kneeling movements, the voices of the ministers shouting long live are scattered.

"The troupe sings better than them." Xiang Chong said depressedly in his heart.

Perhaps, this was the case in the last dynasty?

Xiang Chong didn't believe it, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military dared to fool themselves.

It's just that he just found a step for the civil and military officials and himself, and he saw a majestic figure walking towards this side outside the Jinluan Palace.

"The prime minister has arrived!"

The eunuch outside the palace sang, and Xiang Chong's whole person was in good spirits!

No, I should be nervous.

"Prime Minister? Why not call the name? Xiang Chong said in his heart.

Fan Li smiled and walked into the Jinluan Palace.

Almost at the same time, all the officials in the court got up.

The movements of all the officials were uniform, and they bowed to Fan Li from the left and right.

"Xiaguan and others, I have seen the prime minister."

Although you don't have to kneel, it's just a bowing ceremony.

The wording is also very simple, using 'seen' instead of 'seeing'.

But the ministers' movements were too neat, and their voices were too loud.

In terms of momentum, it is simply completely crushed the mountain just now and shouted 'Long live'!

"!" Xiang Chong scolded in his heart.

It turns out that the civil and military officials are not impossible, but they just don't want to bow down to themselves, they are fooling ghosts just now?!

Fan Li walked to the front of the queue of hundred officials and smiled at Xiang Chong on the dragon chair.

Xiang Chong was laughed uncomfortably, and saw Fan Li's sword at his waist.

"Bold!"

Xiang Chong was overly nervous and blurted out.

"Fan Li, you are a minister, I am a king. You don't worship the king in the court, but you wear weapons, so you have to rebel...... Is it? ”

Because he was too nervous, Xiang Chong almost added another sentence, 'Gonggong Chen, take him down'.

Fortunately, Xiang Chong held back, and he also knew that the money and food of the Chu State were secretly controlled by the Fan Clan's trading house, and the most elite garrison army was also obedient to the Fan Clan.

Take down Fan Li?

He couldn't even do such a stupid thing.

Fan Li smiled.

Hearing Xiang Chong question himself like this, of course he had to laugh.

"Your Majesty."

Fan Li only said two words, which made Xiang Chong tremble slightly with excitement.

"He called me Your Majesty? Fan Li admitted that I was the emperor? Hahahaha! ”

Xiang Chong couldn't stop laughing, and the anger and nervousness just now were immediately thrown out of the clouds by him.

"That...... Aiqing, please? Xiang Chong looked like a corporal of Lixian.

Fan Li nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister has the right to enter the court, praise and worship, go to the palace with his sword, and kneel when he sees the king, don't you know?" ”
