The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 379 The Story of the Grand Court Meeting
"By the way, why didn't I see Brother Huaiyu?" Xuan Shijing looked around, but he did not see Qin Ying, Cheng Chumo was dressed in a scarlet robe, and stood solemnly behind Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Chumo is now the father of two children. He didn't realize it when he was a child, but now he realizes that although the friendship between everyone has not changed back then, the age gap has indeed become prominent. For example, Chai Lingwu and Li Chongyi can still be with Xuan Shijing stood together talking and laughing, but Cheng Chumo had to stand honestly among the courtiers.

"Huaiyu is accompanying Duke Yi. You know that Duke Yi is not in good health these two years. Under such circumstances, Huaiyu cannot leave Duke Yi's side." Chai Lingwu said.

More and more people gathered in front of the Tai Chi Palace, and many people gathered in twos and threes to reminisce about the old days. Naturally, there were more than twice as many Habayashi Guards patrolling the entire Tai Chi Palace than usual.

There was a sound of ceremony and music from all around the palace city. Hearing the sound, many courtiers took their seats and became quiet. As the young minister of Dali Temple, Xuan Shijing naturally wanted to follow behind Dai Zhou.

The poem says: Great powers are equipped with rites and music, and the dynasty of all nations is upright.The oriental color has not moved, but the gate of Guanjian has filled.The emperor lives in Taiji, Su Su Zhong Leuqing.The general leads Habayashi and patrols the palace city with a halberd.

With a loud shout from Deyi, the courtiers walked up the steps of the Taiji Hall with Wuban in their hands, and filed into the Taiji Hall.

His Majesty Li Er is wearing a crown and black clothes, and the Empress Changsun on one side is wearing a tin hairpin dress and wearing a gold-winged phoenix hairpin, sitting beside His Majesty Li Er.

At the Grand Court Meeting on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the ministers and workers had to salute the emperor, and then the officials from all over the country played the performances. The eventful performances expressed the good weather of the past year and prayed for the prosperity of the country and the people in the coming year.

It has to be said that Wei Zheng is the highlight of the Great Court Meeting every year. The other ministers and workers in the Great Court Meeting this morning are all talking good things and flattering dragons. Only Wei Zheng sums it up in a thousand words eloquently.

If the best description for Wei Zheng is Xuan Shijing, he thinks it is a rope that is pulled on the balloon in the hands of people. Whenever His Majesty Li Er wants to go to the sky, he can always pull it at the right time, so as not to let Li The second majesty flew farther and farther away.

But for His Majesty Li Er, such Wei Zheng is obviously enough to make him hate
A big court meeting seems to have nothing to do with Xuan Shijing. Just sitting behind Dai Zhou and listening to the performances sent from various places makes him drowsy. In the end, His Majesty Li Er issued an order to reward At that time, Xuan Shijing barely raised his spirits.

It is also interesting to say that Tang officials have a lot of holidays, and their salaries are indeed not much. If the mansion is really not contaminated with caravans at all on weekdays, if they want to be more nourished, it is impossible. The one-year salary of Tang Zhen, an official who can be said to be a breeze, is not as much as the few rewards from His Majesty Li Er.

Xuan Shijing yawned secretly, slept for two hours after staying up all night, and then listened to this drowsy melody, it is really not easy to persist until now.

Those who look forward to the reward from His Majesty Li Er more than Xuan Shijing are those foreign envoys present who came to Datang just for the reward of His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone knows that the reward from the Emperor of Shangbang is called A rich, mouth-watering lot.

There were nearly [-] ministers and workers who came to the palace to participate in the Great Court Meeting. Chang'an officials plus envoys sent by local officials, plus foreign envoys, Deyi had to hold a long book and read for a long time just for rewards.

The expenses of Wei Wang Li Tai and Wu Wang Li Ke doubled, and the crown prince Chengqian did not set any expenses, and he could freely control the amount of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This has never happened in the past. It is a slight increase, and those princes who have already entered the feudal domain are nothing more than an increase in the real seal.

Changsun Wuji's fief has gained a little more weight, and the dowry that Fang's family received when they won Gaoyang next year has increased by nearly [-]%.

When it came to Xuan Shijing, there was only a poor hundred copper coins left.
While listening to His Majesty Li Er's generous gift to Fan Bang, Xuan Shijing secretly complained about His Majesty Li Er's stinginess, the scimitar and the cup that were sent to the palace the day before yesterday cost more than a hundred copper coins, okay?
"Granting Xuan Shijing the Marquis of Dongshan, the Huai Road is clear and steep, and the steps are steep, but he is virtuous and virtuous, the past king's decree, and the record of mediocrity. The salty envoy knows and hears, such a person, and I will apply for it, and I will see it personally. , the special general will open the mansion, and the third division of Yitong, here we come~~"

As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Who is Xuan Shijing, a mere Marquis, if it is an official position, it is just the position of a fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing. When His Majesty granted him such a position, he might have given him a idle position. Now together The decree actually gave him the right to open the mansion.

What is Kaifu?The opening of the mansion has always been the right of the princes and princes who are favored by the royal family. After the opening of the mansion and the establishment of the government, they can recruit officials by themselves, appoint and dismiss subordinate officials freely, and even set and implement some laws by themselves.
"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stood up with a wooden board in his hand: "I implore Your Majesty to think twice."

"En?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Zheng, wanting to hear Wei Zheng's opinion.

Originally, the decree issued by His Majesty Li Er had to be approved by the two provinces after it was drawn up, but all the things that happened last time at the Great Court Meeting on Yuan Ri should all come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the emperor's own small treasury, which is beyond the control of the three provinces and six ministries, so the decree of the Yuanri Dachaohui was not sent to the two provinces for review. Moreover, in the first two days of Yuanri, all officials in Chang'an City It has been rested, and even if it was sent to two provinces, no one checked it.

Therefore, the ministers in the court knew nothing about this decree. When Deyi read out this decree, it caused such a big shock.

There were nearly [-] people in the hall, all of them reacted differently, but they were all very shocked by this decree, only Changsun Wuji and Li Ji, who still thought about it for a while, also vaguely understood in their hearts why His Majesty issued such a decree will.

Now Li Yuanjing's rebellion has not been made public, but the two of them also have a calculation in their hearts. The whole story of this matter is probably all the credit of Dongshanhou.

Otherwise, Marquis Dongshan had a big fight with King Jing in Da'an Palace, but His Majesty punished Li Yuanjing in a pretentious manner.

Now that His Majesty has given Dongshanhou the right to open the mansion, is it possible that he wants Dongshanhou to deal with King Jing's rebellion?Although Xuan Shijing's ability to deal with the case of Minister of War Sun Yaoting and Bailu Academy has been demonstrated after returning to Chang'an, if such important national affairs were entrusted to him, he would still be a little immature.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly.
