Chapter 29: The Imperial Meeting
The day was dawning, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil of silver-gray shrouded. At this time, Wan Lai was afraid of silence.
The sound of the door opening pierced the silence before dawn. Jun Chen stepped out of the room and looked at the sky, as the stars faded away, the color of the sky was gray at first, and then a piece of fish belly white floated, and gradually cracked a gap near the horizon, for a while, the gap became longer and wider, and at the same time it became brighter and brighter, and a few rays of light shot into the sky, and suddenly a golden arc broke through the morning light and rose from the horizon!
A golden light instantly illuminates the heaven and earth, dazzling moment, the clouds in the sky are all dyed peach-red, clouds and mist fairy, suddenly a golden egg yolk appeared in the sky, as soon as it appeared, it was connected by the surrounding clouds, the clouds were like two dragons playing with pearls, the glowing "crystal" in the mouth, the looming, if the bright and dark sphere, struggling, getting rid of, jumping, burning.
Finally, it broke free from the entanglement of the clouds and mist, and shot out ten thousand rays of light, dyeing the eastern sky a golden yellow.
Bathed in the glow of the rising sun, Junchen took a deep breath and began the necessary exercises of the day. It has been three months since Junchen solved the danger of Binlin, and he practiced martial arts every day, went to court, then inspected the army, trained soldiers, and finally went home, and the cycle continued.
In the past three months, the situation between the Dachen Dynasty and the surrounding countries has gradually stabilized, and the soldiers who survived the first battle of the Northern Expedition to Xiao have basically returned to you, and only less than 100,000 of the 500,000 troops can come back alive, even if you add the unprecedented emptiness of the local defenders Da Chen's troops, Da Chen's troops are even weaker than they were decades ago.
However, the courage and fierceness of the Dachen soldiers were not afraid of death, which penetrated into the hearts of all countries and made all countries fearful. The post-war casualty statistics have also been basically completed, and the pension has been fully distributed under Jun Chen's personal management.
On the other hand, with the help of important ministers led by Prime Minister Xu Qian, the hearts of the people in all parts of the country have gradually stabilized, and they have been working hard to create a good image of the emperor for the young emperor. In the past three months, Chen Tianbao has indeed been in court every day, listening to the ministers and discussing matters, basically the left ear goes into the right ear, but over time, Chen Tianbao has a basic understanding of many government affairs, and at the same time, he also has a simple and crude solution: ask the eldest brother if he is undecided!
Chen Tianbao can be said to be obedient to Jun Chen, and in the past three months, Jun Chen has spoken less and less in the court, because as long as Jun Chen speaks, then Chen Tianbao will say: "Act according to the general's words!"
And there are more and more exchanges between the young emperor Chen Tianbao and the courtiers in the court, and everyone gradually becomes familiar with each other. gradually figured out the young emperor's personality and hobbies, and inevitably some people began to do what he liked. When Junchen and Prime Minister Xu Qian saw this sign, the two immediately cooperated sincerely, and transferred him away for various reasons and excuses, and if the circumstances were serious, he was directly sent to prison.
Under the supervision of Jun Chen and Xu Qian and other five important ministers, the young emperor Chen Tianbao is moving towards the footsteps of Ming Jun. Although he basically doesn't care about anything, just give an order, but Da Chen has a wise and outstanding prime minister, and the twists and turns presented basically have a solution, and they only need the approval of the young emperor.
The young emperor also put on the bearing of a holy monarch, as long as he no longer yells in my ear after the court, you can do whatever you want. Chen Tianbao magically summed up a sentence: "The affairs of the world are all your affairs as courtiers, I only need to quietly choose the right thing, as long as I get the approval of the prime minister and the general, you can do the rest as you like." β
For a time, the Great Chen Dynasty had Xu Qian and Wu Junchen, showing a peaceful and prosperous appearance. And Jun Chen and Prime Minister Xu Qian are in the limelight for a while, but the one with the most momentum is Jun Chen. Because the young emperor obeys his words, everything is not accurate! In the entire court, who can see His Majesty's holy face without kneeling, and he is alone. Moreover, the young emperor Chen Tianbao also let Junchen stay in the palace for the night from time to time, plus the military power in the world is all under Junchen's dispatch, although the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, he cannot compete with him at this time.
After the martial arts training was completed, Jun Chen dressed up and went to the court, and on the way to the court, other ministers saw Jun Chen and immediately got out of the car and saluted. Since Jun Chen had been walking, gradually except for the more than a dozen older and more qualified Da Chen, who was accompanied by the palace gate, the other courtiers began to walk. Along the way, the flow of people gathered and Jun Chen walked to the gate of the palace, and the civil and military officials were already at the door, waiting for Jun Chen to enter together.
It seems that not only the second brother's personality and hobbies have been figured out, but even my daily behavior and habits have been clearly touched. Jun Chen was helpless in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Of course, there are also some upright ministers who go alone, but there are only a few, and most of them go directly to the palace to wait.
"Everyone, please!" Jun Chen stretched out his hand.
"General, please!" said the ministers.
Jun Chen nodded: "Then the general will be in charge." β
In front of the Jinluan Palace, the civil and military ministers waited outside the hall.
"Xuanwen and Wu Baiguan enter the hallβ" The slender voice of the chief eunuch reached outside the hall.
The civil and military ministers walked into the hall in an orderly manner, the head of the military attache of Junchen was the first on the left, and the head of the prime minister Xu Qian's civil official was the first on the right. After entering the hall, in addition to Jun Chen, hundreds of civil and military officials bowed in unison and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Zhong Aiqing, flat body-" Chen Tianbao's lazy voice came. After three months of running-in, Chen Tianbao's body was the first to appear as a god king, and his face was eight points similar to that of the first emperor Chen Tianxiong, and in the eyes of the ministers, he was also majestic, except for the immaturity on his face, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. The ministers stood up.
Chen Tianbao stretched out his hand and motioned to the chief eunuch to speak: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a plan to play!" an official came out, "Relying on the glory of the Holy Emperor in the past three months, the four seas in my Dachen have been peaceful, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment......"
"Stop!" Chen Tianbao was very dissatisfied, "I have said more than once, the speech should be on the key points, if you can't talk about the key points, don't speak well, what do you say, my lord?"
"Yes, yes, yes......" The official's usual way of speaking has been cultivated over time, and it cannot be changed overnight, although he has tried to be concise.
"Aiqing, don't be afraid, there is something to say!" Chen Tianbao said.
"Back to the emperor, in the past three months, many of our officials' mansions have been stolen a lot of property, although it has been reported to the patrol room, but in the past three months, the property of the officials has not been recovered, but more and more have been lost, although the mansions have increased a lot of guards to strictly guard, it is useless, please the emperor is the master of the ministers!" After speaking, the official burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, this performance is really good, why don't you become an actor if you are so awesome!
"Please ask the emperor to make decisions for the ministers!" Immediately after that, about one-third of the hundreds of officials knelt on the ground, asking the emperor to make decisions for them.
Jun Chen's complexion changed slightly, and he kept thinking in his heart: I once asked friends on the rivers and lakes about Guo Feiyan, she is a thief who has only emerged in Da Chen in recent years, although her debut has not been long but her reputation is all over the world, and her favorite thing to do is to rob the rich and help the poor, that is, she herself said to help others spread wealth and accumulate some yin virtue for them. I also personally asked Guo Feiyan, and she said that she only robbed the rich, honest officials, and she would not touch a penny.
"Oh?" Chen Tianbao tapped his fingers on the dragon chair, "What does the prime minister think?"
Prime Minister Xu Qian came out: "Back to the emperor, this matter should have been the duty of the patrol room, so naturally it is fair for the gods to capture Cheng Feng for the hundred officials." It is not the scope of the old minister's duties, and although the people of Dachen have settled down and the emperor has been exempt for another year, the people are still living in poverty, and the duty of the old minister is how to ask for the people's lives, so that the people of the world can live a good life with the emperor. β
"Hmm. Chen Tianbao nodded with great satisfaction when he heard this, "Cheng Feng will do his best to investigate this matter thoroughly, and give justice to all officials." Everyone, love Qing, get even!"
"Your Majesty!" the officials stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask!" Jun Chen said.
"Big ...... Junchen Aiqing asked!" Chen Tianbao said.
Jun Chen turned to look at the minister who had just played and asked, "Dare to ask your lordship how much property you have lost in the past three months?"
"Back to the general, the old decay has not lost much, all kinds of gold, silver, fine and soft silver tickets add up to about two million taels of silver!" The minister thought that Jun Chen was going to come forward to make decisions for him personally, so he immediately said without thinking.
"Okay, dare to ask your name, what official position does your adult live in, how many years have you been an official, and how much is your annual salary?"
"General Hui, the old Wei Ziji, is a household secretary, a year of 160 taels of silver, so far as an official for 37 years. Wei Ziji said.
"Oh, then I don't know how many fields and properties Lord Wei has under his name?" Jun Chen asked.
Wei Ziji seemed to realize that something was wrong, and his face changed: "What does this mean, General?"
"It's nothing, General Ben just thinks that these two million taels of silver are enough for a year's salary for my big * army. Of course, now that the number of troops has been reduced on a large scale, it should be enough to pay for two years. Jun Chen shook his head and returned to his place.
Prime Minister Xu Qian listened to Jun Chen's question thoughtfully, during this time he was worried about the poverty of the people in the four realms, and caught up with the locust plague, no money and no food, suddenly Xu Qian's eyes lit up, it seemed that there was a breakthrough and a turning point in this matter.
Then he said a lot of inconsequential trivial things, not to mention that Chen Tianbao had long been impatient, even Junchen deeply admired the ability of all civil officials to brag about their skins, if they spoke, they could be used as guns to make Da Chen invincible in the world. But after thinking about it, there are some things that have to be discussed, not to mention the ability of civil officials to know the slightest about domestic government affairs, which is really not something that a military general like Jun Chen can do. In the past three months, Junchen's understanding of government affairs has also deepened a lot.
