466. Parliamentary State
Daru is almost a country born for war, and the barren land has made them brave and ruthless.
They are not like the court of the Han Dynasty, with the moral bottom line of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame", everything is for the sake of interests, and everything is driven by interests. In their barbaric cultural genes, plundering and robbers seem to be engraved in their bones.
After the Luts annexed the various ethnic groups in large numbers and established the state, the population grew rapidly.
Now, the southward has occupied half of the northern land of the Han Dynasty, and a huge amount of wealth has been accumulated, and they have entered the carnival of excitement.
Now, although the middle route army led by Tuoba Feng suffered a great defeat, while fighting against the old scene, their army in the north was not idle, and once again went north and annexed more than a dozen "savage" tribes with strong combat effectiveness.
and canonized a new demon king - "White Bear King".
As the empire looked at the vast old landscape, under the collective promotion of interest groups, the center of the empire had been moved from Kurong City to Ningyang City in Ningyang Province.
Ningyang City is a large northern city with a very long history. It is also the Jing Dynasty period, a military town with the integration of military and civilian, there was a description of the ten-mile military market, the gathering of ten thousand merchants, merchants from all over the world gathered here, commerce, handicrafts, are extremely developed.
The black land is even more fertile, and the grain grown is no worse than the anointed land in the south, and it is the famous granary of the north.
Because of the developed transportation, convenient trade and fertile land, this place has attracted a large number of people to gather here, and it is the most populous city in the northeastern provinces.
Of course, these have long been distant memories of the locals after the disaster of the living corpses in Chongqing for seven years.
"Boom!"
With a bell, it resounded through the city, and the sky was still dark, and many people woke up in the faint morning light.
The morning bell and dusk drum, the method of the Han people learned by the Daru people, is called morning awakening.
As soon as the bell rang, it was time for the Daru officials to go to court.
The mansion of the new (robbed) people of the middle school.
"Master, it's not that the emperor's body is not good, why did he get up earlier than the chickens every morning after coming to Ningyang?"
Tong Jiashi yawned and personally took care of the court clothes and collar for the husband of the third grade of his official residence.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Na Feng sorted out his appearance in the mirror, and casually reprimanded Tong Jia's family: "Your Majesty is in good health and has outstanding martial arts, even if he is attacked by the puppet emperor, he will definitely get better soon." ”
"Oh."
Tong Jiashi said no more.
"This Qi country's mirror is very easy to use, such a delicate thing, I really don't know how they produced it."
Na Feng sighed to the mirror, and went out with the support of the slave.
"Ear protection."
Tong Jiashi chased it out, and the world was plain white.
Last night's heavy snow covered almost the entire Ningyang City, and after pushing the door open, it was already up to his knees as soon as he stepped down. The cold wind blew in through the gaps in the collar, cuffs, and ankles, and the cool air soaked directly into the bones, and the bones seemed to be pricked by needles.
Na Feng took the ear guard and put it on the ear that was blown red by the wind: "It's cold outside, go back to the house, don't freeze." ”
"Okay, husband, pay attention to safety, and be cautious in your words and deeds in the court."
Tong Jiashi instructed.
"I know more about these than you, go back."
Nafeng waved his hand and walked along the eaves of the porch towards the outside.
Tong Jiashi returned to the house coldly, took off his coat and got into the quilt, the foot warmer hurriedly climbed into bed, took off her clothes and picked up Tong Jia's feet, put them on her chest, and used the warmth of her chest to warm Tong Jia's frozen feet in the snow.
"Ding Ding~"
Tong Jiashi pulled the rope on the bedframe, and the big girl in the ear room next door immediately heard the sound, and hurriedly walked over, and when she opened the door outside, she was afraid of the cold wind blowing in, so she dared to open a crack in the door and squeezed in.
"Ma'am."
After the big girl came in, she knelt down in front of Tong Jia's family.
"We followed His Majesty from Kurong City, and the move was also in a hurry, and we didn't bring a few minions from the house.
But you shouldn't be lazy, knowing that the lord is going to the morning court today, and the snow in the courtyard has not been cleared, so that the lord steps on the snow to go to the court, but is there still a minion? ”
Tong Jia's face was stiff, and his tone seemed to be light, but he couldn't help but tremble when he heard it in the ears of the suppression.
"The slave and maid have followed the lady for many years, and the lady appreciates it today, and today it is really the slave and the maid who are derelict in their duties, please punish the slave and the maid."
The big girl kowtowed again and again.
"I won't punish you today, but let's go and clean the courtyard."
Seeing the maid like this, Tong Jiashi also lost his anger and waved his hand.
At this time, Na Feng had already gone out of the mansion, and the sedan chair outside had already been prepared, stepping on the back of a slave and getting on the sedan chair.
"Pick up the car~"
With a shout, the sedan chair was lifted and staggered towards the imperial city.
"Compared to Kurong City, it's still a little desolate."
Lifting the sedan curtain, he sighed as he looked at the deserted streets and alleys that were still dark outside.
But this is really too normal, since the city of Kurong moved here, the Han people in the city have long been wiped out, those Han houses, property, young women have been carved up, most of them have been sent to the farms they occupy outside the city to be slaves, and a few remain in the mansion as slaves.
In this way, Ningyang City naturally became deserted.
I didn't even buy an early one.
He could only take out one Hu Biscuit, but he felt that it was difficult to swallow when he looked at it.
He couldn't get up in the morning, he didn't even have time to eat, and when he thought of standing hungry for hours, he still stuffed the cake into his mouth. At this time, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside, and Na Feng couldn't help but lift the curtain curiously to look out.
But I saw a boxy, more than 20 people carried a large sedan chair painted with gold and silver. This large palanquin is like a house, with doors and windows, and the wings and corners of the four corners are like eagles' beaks, forming a sharp curve, as if to puncture the air.
Coincidentally, the opposite side also pushed the car window open, and it was a fair-skinned woman who exposed her breasts. Through the car window, you can see the red charcoal basin burning inside, and the beautiful woman sitting next to the charcoal basin.
On a small square table, there is also steaming alcohol.
"What the ······"
Na Feng had a cake in his mouth, rubbing his hands to keep warm, like a dick at this time.
I was even more jealous in my heart.
But he only said half of what he wanted to scold, and suddenly a pair of sharp eyes pierced him like sword light, and at this moment, Feng's eyes stinged, and he hurriedly showed a flattering smile, only to see the other party's contemptuous smile.
Seeing that the other party retracted his gaze, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Eagle Demon King."
He took a few deep breaths, and the other party's title came to his mind.
Unlike the other Eight Kings, the Eagle Demon King truly has a high status and great influence in the Daru Kingdom.
It is rumored that the emperor's favor for him even exceeds that of the eldest prince!
Although he didn't believe it, he also felt that these rumors were not groundless.
When I arrived in front of the Imperial City Gate, there were already many officials waiting here. But most of them are petty officials. In the Daru Empire, only those who are above the fifth rank can go to court, and those below the fifth rank can only go to court when summoned by the emperor.
Therefore, this seemingly perverted early dynasty is actually an honor for high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
"Your Excellency."
As soon as he got off the sedan chair, a few people immediately nodded and came over.
Several of them were officials from Zhongshu Province and were also officials under him.
"Hmm."
Na Feng stepped on the back of the servant and got off the sedan chair, and when he saw a few "lower officials", he snorted in his nose, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Nafeng, this morning, Lord Wanyan will play the charter, and when the time comes, I will stand up and respond."
A familiar voice came from behind him, which made Nafeng's waist soften suddenly, turning his head and pouting his ass, with a flattering smile on his face, and a pair of triangular eyes revealing flattering loyalty.
His appearance finally converged with that of the men around him who had turned their flattery to those who came.
"Lord Shilang, I will definitely cooperate with Lord Wanyan, don't worry."
Nafeng said firmly and loyally.
"Hmm."
Lord Squire snorted from his nostrils, and he knew it.
At this time, a coquettish sound came, a sedan chair carried by more than a dozen people was carried over, the cold wind blew, and the copper bells hanging on the four wing corners made a "jingle bell" sound.
Outside the gate of the imperial city, this group of civil officials who formed a group looked at the sedan chair one by one.
"The sedan chair of the Eagle Demon King."
People were talking.
"Normally, the Eagle Demon King will not go to the early dynasty, why did he come today?"
"Could it be that there will be something big in the morning today?"
Small groups speculated and discussed.
The sedan chair walked straight towards the gate of the imperial city that had not yet been opened. As I passed by, the curtain suddenly lifted.
The squire subconsciously bent down his stiff waist, pouted his buttocks, and showed a flattering smile on his face, which tended to be unified with Nafeng and the others behind him.
However, the people in the sedan chair did not look here.
When you are close to the sedan chair, you can clearly feel the heat that comes to your face when the sedan chair passes.
When the sedan chair was carried to the gate of the imperial city, a young man in a yellow horse coat walked out, walked to the gate and knocked a few times, each time it seemed to knock on the hearts of the civil officials waiting in front of the gate.
"Open the door!"
The Eagle Demon King shouted.
The door slowly opened, and the Eagle Demon King swaggered in in front of everyone's eyes.
Moreover, they could vaguely see through the crack in the door that there was also a black-scaled horse prepared for the Eagle Demon King inside the gate, and the flames that erupted from the nose were especially obvious in this cold winter.
"The emperor's favor for the Eagle Demon King is really true!"
People looked at each other, and they already understood what each other meant.
As soon as the Eagle Demon King left, the squire's waist pole immediately stood up, and he paced towards the Zhongshu Ling Wanyan Sect, who was standing closer to the gate.
As soon as the waiter left, Nafeng's waist pole immediately stood up, and walked towards the middle school bachelor who was eating steamed buns and pickles not far away.
As soon as Na Feng left, several fifth-grade officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up straight for a short time.
I don't know how long I waited, but the gates of the imperial city finally officially opened.
Hundreds of people shook the pearls on their chests, lined up in order, and walked towards the imperial city.
The heavy snow in the imperial city has already been cleaned up. When I arrived in front of the main hall, there was not even a trace of snow in the huge square, and the glazed tiles of the main hall reflected the newborn morning sun and reflected the golden light.
In the hearts of the courtiers, the nascent Daru Empire will also be like this palace under the rising sun, and its path will be great.
After coming to the main hall, the high dragon chair was still standing there empty, but even if there was no one, the bright yellow color still gave people a sense of majesty, dignity and authority, which made people unconsciously avoid their eyes.
Nafeng stood in his place very familiarly.
Not in the front, not in the back, in the middle of the front position. Before and after him, there were also some third-grade officials.
Because of the war on the front line, there are very few martial arts halls above the main hall, and the vast majority of them are civilian officials.
The civil system of the Daru Empire generally refers to and follows the official system of the Jing Dynasty.
This empire, which developed from the tribes, in the process of development, learned advanced management systems while fighting, so it was able to develop rapidly to this day.
The Daru Empire can have today, as the helmsman of the emperor Tuoba Yuan, his talent and merit are unparalleled.
"What is Lord Wanyan going to play today? Do you know? ”
The scholar leaned over to Na Feng's ear and bit it quietly.
Naphon shook his head.
He didn't know either.
Na Feng glanced behind him, and the officials at the end had even lined up outside the main hall, standing in the cold wind, shivering.
The imperial palace here is just a palace of the old Jing Emperor. Its regulations are said to be unable to be used as a palace, but the emperor is not willing to build a palace here, but orders people to restore the palace in Nanyang.
Clear-eyed people know that although the capital has been moved to Ningyang City, it is also a transition. Sooner or later, the emperor will still go to Nanyang City, which is the center of the old scenery homeland, and only when he gets there, can he truly become the master of the vast land in the center of the world!
"The Emperor has arrived! Ministers kneel in peace! ”
Just as the court officials whispered to each other, a high-pitched voice spread throughout the main hall.
Dressed in black and wearing a yellow dragon embroidered dragon robe, Tuoba Yuan walked into the main hall from behind, bypassed the majestic axe wall, and sat on the dragon chair.
Below, Na Feng bowed nine times with the ministers, and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”
"Flat."
Standing on the side of the throne, waiting for the ceremony to be over, he shouted loudly when he saw the emperor raise his hand to support him.
When Na Feng stood up, he glanced forward, but saw that there was an extra chair in the front, next to the imperial steps, and the Eagle Demon King sat on it.
Further up, Nafeng didn't dare to look at it anymore.
The light of power is really dazzling, and he is afraid that if he doesn't look right, his head and body will say goodbye.
"Today, discuss the country."
On the imperial platform, the emperor's voice came down.
Na Feng could hear that the emperor's voice still seemed to be lacking in energy. (End of chapter)
