In the first year of Xingqing in the Great Song Dynasty, the tenth day of the first month, Lin'an City, the Imperial Palace, the Great Interior, the vertical arch hall.

The Yuan Xi Festival is approaching, and it is still during the funeral of the first emperor, but the emperor went to court, which is reasonable and in line with the court etiquette system.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that the new emperor has been in court since he ascended the throne, and all the ministers have some expectations.

It is said that once the son of heaven is a courtier, but the new emperor is a bottle of new ministers and old ministers, with a mixture of old and new.

Prime Minister Xue Ji, former governor of the government and secretary of the ministry. Replaced the former Prime Minister Shi Miyuan.

Privy envoy, counselor of political affairs, former governor of political affairs, military department of Shangshu. Replace the original privy envoy Shi Miyuan.

Hu Yu, the governor of the government and the Ministry of Industry, has not changed.

Participated in the governor's political affairs Zhendexiu, the former household department Shangshu.

Cheng Chen Duan in the imperial history, replacing Liang Chengda in the original imperial history.

The governors and the imperial historians, several important ministers of the imperial court, are half-new and not old, but the situation of Shi Miyuan's single husband in power is gone forever.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The voice of the chamberlain sounded, and all the ministers were in good spirits.

Zhao Hong entered the main hall and slowly walked forward. The ministers of the palace, including the prime minister, the governor of the council, the prince, the squire and the bachelor, the imperial history, etc., all the officials were wide-eyed.

Silk robe, knee covering, square heart curved collar, sky crown, black scab. This kind of court dress, which is second only to the crown dress, is generally worn by the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty only during major ceremonies such as the Great Court Meeting and the Great Book. At this moment, the emperor did not wear official clothes, but chose to dress formally in this way to show his dignity at his first court meeting?

What surprised the ministers even more was that on the golden and jade belt of the emperor's waist, there was a four-foot-long long sword, coupled with the emperor's upright body, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was even more fierce and not angry and arrogant.

What an imperial elephant!

In the surprised eyes of the ministers, Zhao Hong had already ascended to the throne, sitting upright, not angry and arrogant.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The ministers bowed and saluted, and everyone muttered in their hearts.

What does it mean for the young new emperor to go to court with a sword?

"Zhuqing, today's court meeting, I have made an unwritten will, from now on, from this moment on, the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty shall not be called "official". The secretary of state has no objection, right? ”

Zhao Hong's eyes were burning and he looked at the ministers in the palace.

"In accordance with His Majesty's will."

Prime Minister Xue Ji was the first to speak, and none of the ministers in the palace agreed.

The emperor had already spoken out and abandoned the title of "official", but he did not give an order. The emperor's own title, as long as it is not out of line, the ministers have no reason to object.

"My second will is to establish the Sailor School in Qingyuan Mansion, and the Jiangwu Hall and the Jinling University Hall in Jinling. You don't have any objections, right? ”

Zhao Hong quickly threw out his second issue to the ministers in the palace.

The establishment of the Sailor School, the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall has been approved by the prime minister and the ruling minister, and the court hall is just a formality.

"Your Majesty, obey Your Majesty's will."

This time, Prime Minister Xue Ji and several governors came out in advance to approve of the emperor's will.

"Your Majesty, obey Your Majesty's will."

All the ministers in the palace spoke out, and none of them objected.

The three halls were opened one after another, and the children of the nobles of the imperial court were all stained, and the emperor's move was too considerate.

"My third will is to establish the Great Song Anti-Corruption Department to clarify the rule of officials and crack down on corruption. I don't care whether you were greedy for ink and accepted bribes in the past, from now on, anyone who is greedy for ink will be severely punished. As for how to punish it, it will be presented in official documents and newspapers. ”

Zhao Hong's words made the hall silent, and immediately a speaker came out and bowed and played:

"Your Majesty, the local government has its own pacification envoys, transfer envoys, general sentences, and prison sentences, and the court has its own imperial history platform. There seems to be no need for a separate division in the fight against corruption. Otherwise, where is the local prison, and where is the Yushitai? ”

Zhao Hong fixed his eyes and saw that it was the new imperial historian Chen Duanchang.

"I set up the Anti-Corruption Department because I was a corrupt official in the Great Song Dynasty, and greed for ink became commonplace. If it goes on like this, I'm in danger! ”

Zhao Hong spoke softly, and Chen Duanchang continued to play without compromise.

"Your Majesty, the Anti-Corruption Department clarifies the rule of officials and inspects officials, and this move will make officials panic and everyone will be in danger. Your Majesty, please think again! ”

The Imperial Historical Observatory is in charge of picketing officials and evil, and correcting the discipline of the imperial court. Isn't it redundant for the emperor to set up an anti-corruption department?

"I have made up my mind, Chen Qing doesn't need to say much!"

Zhao Hong no longer explained, and made a direct will.

Chen Duanchang's face was ugly, and he retreated stupidly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"

A green-robed official walked out, with a wide robe and big sleeves, and a black face and iron bones, and said solemnly.

"What's the matter, even if you say it bluntly, I'll listen to it."

Zhao Hong smiled, trying to make himself appear gentle and kind.

The first time he went to court, he also wanted to leave a good impression on his ministers.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are courageous, Your Majesty hangs a long sword from his waist to the court, and he is not in harmony with the etiquette system. Soldiers, ominous weapons, objects or evil, so those who have the Tao are not punished. I am the son of heaven in the Song Dynasty, and there is no precedent for wearing a sword to the temple. Please remove the sword, take the right manner, and appease the hearts of the subjects of the world! ”

The green-robed Yushi bowed solemnly, his words were sonorous and powerful, and he was full of energy.

"Therefore, there is no place for those who have the Tao? Are you saying that I am a dumb king without a way? ”

Zhao Hong's anger rose in his heart, and his face was unconsciously ugly.

The first time he went to the court, he just wanted to show his "royal power" with the "Sword of the King of Song", but he was hit on the head, and he was dizzy and inexplicable.

Why can't these officials see the power of the king?

In the cold winter, so many homeless people froze to death, why didn't they play?

"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intentions. I heard about it in the court, and the ministers saw it with their own eyes. Your Majesty does not follow the law of etiquette, does not respect the family law of the ancestors, regards the court meeting as a grass market, the ministers plan for Your Majesty, loyal and straightforward, and live up to Your Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty! ”

The voice of the green-clothed Yushi is louder, the waist board is straighter, and it is even more justifiable.

A clever tongue, a good mouth!

Zhao Hong looked at the green-clothed imperial history in surprise, his eyes swept to the ministers in the hall, his anger slowly extinguished, and he calmed down.

What the green-clothed imperial history said probably represents the voices of many officials in the palace.

And this iron-clad green-clothed imperial history is probably not only to win the name of loyalty, but also to rise to the top with direct advice.

These scholars, the twists and turns in their stomachs are comparable to twenty-four turns, and there are especially many branches.

It's a pity that he originally wanted to regain the royal power, and he originally wanted to stand up for power.

The separation of power between the privy envoy and the prime minister is only the first step. The second step, of course, is to deal with these self-righteous doctors.

"As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I am wearing a sword in the last dynasty, do I still need your little imperial history to agree? I have the etiquette of the national law, which one does not allow the Son of Heaven to go to court and not wear a sword? I wore the "Xia Ren Sword" with Emperor Qinzong, isn't it in line with the family law of my ancestors? Let's talk about it. ”

Zhao Hong raised his voice, but calmed down.

He wants to stand up, but he doesn't necessarily want the dragon face to be angry and roar above the main hall.

"Your Majesty, when Emperor Qinzong went to court, he never wore a sword with him. I went to the Son of Heaven in the Great Song Dynasty, and there was never a person who wore a sword, which was the family law of the ancestors. I also ask Your Majesty to remove the sword and soothe the holy elephant in order to set the record straight. ”

The green-clothed imperial history is still righteous and unyielding.

To solemnize the holy image, to correct the hearing.

What a sanctimonious-stirrer!

"Your Majesty, Uncle Xie Fang, as the superintendent of the imperial history, is the duty to directly advise the Son of Heaven, and Your Majesty should remember his hard work and praise him."

Zhao Hong was about to speak, but Chen Duanchang, the middle of the imperial history, walked out again, with a black face and a straight face.

Straightforward? Awards?

Zhao Hong's anger rose again unconsciously.

He was just wearing a sword to go to the court, and he was attacked by these imperial historians like this, which shows the weakness of the monarchy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Also, Chen Duanchang, the middle of this imperial history, attacked himself as soon as he was promoted. Isn't this a slap in the face?

"At the beginning of my reign, I opened four doors for the first time, reached the smart goal, visited the land, and asked for help. All my ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have seen and heard, are loyal and righteous, and I am happy to listen. If something is feasible, I will follow it with an open mind, speak too straightforwardly, and have no fear of future harm. ”

Zhao Hong's tone was calm, and his gaze turned to Xiuwang Zhao Shimi and several other princes.

"King Xiu, you know the main affairs of the great sect, and you will discipline the clan's subordinates, accept the clan's lawsuits, correct their violations, and impeach if you are guilty. You came to tell Zhu Qing that I violated the ancestral family law by going to court with a sword? ”

Zhao Shimi, the king of the show, was helpless, walked out of the class, and played hard:

"Back to Your Majesty, the laws of my Great Song Dynasty and the family laws of my ancestors do not prohibit the king from wearing a sword to go to the court."

"Your Majesty, I am in the Song Dynasty, and the matter of the Son of Heaven going to the court to wear a sword has nothing to do with the ancestral family law. Your Majesty's move is not rude. ”

Pu Wang Zhao Buxi also walked out and echoed Zhao Shimi.

The return of imperial power is better than the family of the scholar, and the clan also has the right to speak, and it will not be suppressed by the civil ministers, and it is better than nothing.

"Your Majesty, the minister is the Taiwanese admonition, and my Great Song Dynasty Son of Heaven is wearing a sword to go to the court, which is inconsistent with the ancestral family law of my Great Song Dynasty to govern the country with Confucianism. Your Majesty's move, the minister can not agree. ”

Uncle Xie Fang is still strong, and the posture of "admonishing the Son of Heaven" is not falling.

"Your Majesty, it is the duty of our officials to speak out, and your Majesty has the reputation of good advice on the outside, and there is a refusal to advise inside, and the ministers dare not agree."

In the imperial history, Chen Duan often looked at Zhao Hong's ugly face, and seemed to be even more arrogant.

The ministers in the palace, including Xue Ji, Zhen Dexiu and other governors, all remained silent and did not say a word.

"Bold! How can my royal order be changed and reduced to a joke? ”

Zhao Hong couldn't bear it, and finally had a seizure, and his face was blue as if he was about to ooze water.

"When you hear about it, can you also refer to the deer as a horse, a bunch of nonsense? I have been in court with a sword, there has been a precedent since ancient times, and I have violated that law and national law, so that you and other courtiers will be humiliated in the palace? In your eyes, is there still me, the son of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Li Zhixiao, Liang Chengda, and Mo Ze are already rats crossing the street, and everyone has shouted and beaten them, why are there so many clever people who are aggressive on the temple?

Could it be that it was Shi Miyuan's ears and eyes that gave them the courage to continue to suppress the king?

Accusing the king for no reason and entering the house is tolerable or unbearable!

Hearing Zhao Hong's words, the ministers in the hall were shocked.

No wonder Emperor Long Yan was furious, these officials were originally the minions of the emperor to impeach hundreds of officials, and now they are directly admonishing the Son of Heaven, and they don't even save the face of the Son of Heaven, which is really a bit too out of line.

"Your Majesty, as a speech official, the minister should be ...... straight"

"Shut up! Who do you think you are? Can you be above the king? Can I lose face? ”

Uncle Xie Fang still had to argue with reason, and continued to brush the emperor's dragon beard, but was interrupted by Zhao Hong's angry voice with a pale face.

"What a sharp mouth! As a minister, I don't see you have a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army, you have nothing to do, you are crazy, and you actually humiliate the king in the palace. Who gave your dog guts? ”

I'm your uncle! The last dynasty with a sword is going to be attacked, who are you from Niang?

"Your Majesty is angry! Uncle Xie Fang, Geng Jie, I don't know how to advance or retreat, and I also ask Your Majesty to calm the anger of the thunder and not to be like him. ”

Prime Minister Xue Ji observed his words, hurriedly walked out, and said solemnly.

The emperor's angry nose is crooked, and if he doesn't dissuade him, the prime minister will not be the prime minister.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon!"

Zhen Dexiu, Hu Yu, and Xuanxuan walked out together and tried to persuade Zhao Hong, who was full of anger.

Long Yan was furious, and if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that there would be trouble.

"As a speech official, he doesn't think about recommending talents, inspecting the gains and losses of the government, and caring about the people's livelihood and suffering, but he is chasing the wind and shadows all day long, full of nonsense, and now he is also clever and slanderous to the king, and his heart can be punished! What do I want you to do, disgusting? ”

Zhao Hong's face was red, and his roar echoed in the hall.

In the end, he was still shallow, couldn't control himself, and was really angry.
