Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 203 When the Great Court Meeting is in progress, the princes pay attention!
The procedure of the Grand Court Assembly is very complicated, and many middle officials in the palace stayed up all night.

Just after the third watch, a maid came to call the door.

Li Gan was served and washed by them almost in a daze. After washing, he woke up a little, ate something, and then changed into the grand and complicated crown.

As the emperor, Li Gan had much more to do than the ministers outside.

Relying on the previous careful preparations, each activity of Zhengdan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

According to the procedure, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and maids, Li Gan first came to the Shenning Hall on the east side of Qianyuan Palace. Li Gan had never entered this place, and only knew that there were various statues of gods and spirits in the hall. There are three bronze incense burners in front of the temple gate.

The night sky is full of stars, and the green smoke curls from the copper furnace.

Li Gan just came under Longchi, and did not go up. According to the procedure, the emperor only needs to worship below and pray to heaven for a good harvest in the coming year.

Then he crossed more than half of the Qianyuan Palace and came to the Jiuxiao Pavilion Shengyu Palace on the northwest side, offering incense and sacrifices to the ancestors and offering tribute.

After finishing all this work, it is reasonable to go to celebrate the New Year to the empress dowager, but there is no empress dowager in this dynasty, so Li Gan can only salute to the symbolic tablet.

As the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, these are the only people he needs to respect.

All that was left was for others to congratulate Li Gan. Li Gan drove all the way to Qianyuanqian Palace, and all the concubines also got up early, and all waited here, taking turns to congratulate Li Gan.

If there are any princes, princes, princesses, etc. at this time, they will also come together, but Li Gan does not.

After concubine concubines congratulate, it is the turn of eunuchs and court ladies.

It's just that not everyone is qualified to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise it would be too troublesome and lengthy, so the old eunuch sent a few representatives to come in, and the rest of the eunuchs and maids were outside the hall under Dan Chi He Fu knelt down.

After all these are done, the process of the harem is over, but Li Gan's work is not over yet.

After he came all the way to Chengtian Gate Tower in a sedan chair, he began to wait here for a long time. There were rumbling sounds in the night sky, accompanied by the explosion of fireworks.

The entire capital also gradually woke up from sleep.

Outside the Suzaku gate in the south of the imperial city, a large number of people had already gathered here.

There are few morning stars on the sky that gradually turns from pitch black to dark blue, the red palace walls stand erect in the cold wind, and a few wisps of red firecracker debris are blown over from time to time.

Almost all the civil and military officials in Beijing have been counted, and everyone is talking and laughing about interesting things about the New Year.

From the top ministers like Qin Hui and Cai Jing to the lowest rank nine sesame officials, almost all the officials in the capital are present.

In front of all the officials were all the ministers in scarlet robes. Although the atmosphere between the Zhongshu, the two provinces under the door, and the six departments of the Shangshu was still tense, everyone maintained restraint on the surface, and at most they gave a cold look.

On the side of the court officials are people from various vassal states. Some of these people are as close as glue, but some people can't even maintain the most basic harmony between them. They regard each other as enemies and are at war.

But no matter how tense it was, no conflict broke out here, because no matter who wanted to provoke a conflict, both sides would look forward with fearful eyes, looking at the three missions ahead.

The easternmost one is the Ming Kingdom Mission, and the leader is Zhu Neng, who is wearing a red ceremonial robe and chatting and laughing with the people next to him.

Most of the missions in the middle are dressed in yellow, but unlike the red and bright yellow of the Daqian royal family, most of their clothes and flags are dark yellowish yellow.

In fact, Dagan does not prohibit the appearance of yellow among the people. Even ordinary people can wear yellow clothes, beige, golden, brown, light yellow, earthy yellow...you can wear whatever you want, and use whatever you want.

Only one thing is forbidden, and that is the red and yellow color that represents the emperor and the son of heaven.

The overall color of the missions of the Han Dynasty is a dull yellow color, headed by a tall, easy-going man.

There are spots of gray in this person's hair, and even the beard under the jaw is almost white. If you observe carefully, you can find that there is a slight hunchback on his handsome waist and back, giving people a kind of heroic twilight. a feeling of.

The people in the mission looked at him with respect, and the man didn't put on airs at all, smiling and talking to a young man beside him.

The missions on the west side of them are much more depressing, the overall appearance is thick and watery black, black flags, black banners, black clothes...

Few people in the entire mission spoke, but fell into a kind of silence, which was incompatible with the noisy and festive surroundings.

In addition, there are people from the four kingdoms of the grassland with strange hairstyles, sheepskin and bone ornaments, and people from the Western Regions with high nose bridges, deep eye sockets, and blue eyes...

Fortunately for the latter, there have been no conflicts between the Western Regions and Dagan in recent years, and Dagan even allowed people from the Western Regions to serve as officials in the court.

But the prairie people did not have this kind of treatment, and they were faintly excluded from the imperial court and the vassal states as a whole.

However, the grassland people don't care too much. Being able to do this kind of work on the grassland is a crooked melon. In other words, they almost failed the internal struggle and were sent here. Naturally, they dare not be here. Talk loudly and make trouble.

The state of affairs in front of Suzaku's gate didn't last long. About three quarters before sunrise, three dull drums suddenly sounded from inside the imperial city.

The chattering ministers gradually quieted down. Officials from the Ministry of Rituals came out from the Suzaku Gate in front and directed the ministers and envoys to stand in line in order.

After about half a quarter of an hour, there was already a neat line up outside, and the sound of drums came out again.

The leading officials then entered the imperial city from the left and right gates in the order of Wendong Wuxi.

Envoys, Beijing officials, officials from various counties and counties... a huge flow of people passed through Tianjie and came to Chengtianmen Square.

Everyone has their own seat. People follow the grade sign and sit in order. The higher the grade, the closer to the Chengtian Gate in front.

The sky has turned from dark blue to light blue, and the east is not yet clear, and dawn is about to break.

When the red sun was rising and the first rays of morning light shrouded the capital, the third drumbeat finally sounded from the tower of Chengtian Gate.

dong dong dong~
The heavy drumbeat was just the beginning, and then in the Shaoyue played by the official of the Jiaofang, a mighty guard of honor was in front, and His Majesty the Emperor, dressed in a crown, slowly appeared above the Chengtian Gate Tower while sitting on his shoulders .

At this moment, Li Qian's face was solemn and solemn, but he felt a little weird in his heart. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of coming out with his own bgm.

When Li Gan was done on the top of the city gate, the music officials began to play the Great Music of Danbi. At the same time, all the officials below stood up one after another and bowed to Li Gan four times.

In the morning light, Li Gan looked at the ministers and envoys who bowed down and bowed in salute. Seeing the scene where everyone bowed their heads together, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Right now these people are the most powerful people in Dagan. In the past, they called the wind and rain, they dominated the situation, and they didn't pay attention to anyone.

From Qin Hui and Cai Jing at the front all the way to the green-robed officials at the back.

Outside, these people are all admired by outsiders, and even the smallest officials can dominate the people below.

There are also envoys from many vassal states, all of whom have reached the pinnacle of power in their own country.

But today, no matter how high or low, no matter how majestic they used to be, they are now prostrate at Li Gan's feet.

The fireworks rising into the sky in the capital dispelled the clouds in the sky, and a ray of morning glow came from the east.

The bright yellow glazed tiles on the golden roof in the imperial city reflect row after row of golden awns, dazzling and dazzling, and the dwellings further away are shrouded in a white layer of fog or frost, making them blurry.

At this moment, Li Gan stood up subconsciously, a trance flashed in his eyes, looking around, it seemed that the whole world was under his feet.

Fortunately, a gust of cold wind blew past in time, allowing His Majesty the Emperor, who was about to ascend to the clouds, to descend in time.

Li Gan sat back on his dragon chair again, feeling secretly in his heart, no wonder Liu Bang didn't feel anything when he became emperor, but after going through a big court meeting, "I know today that I am the most precious emperor."

Liu Bang still had this kind of emotion after all the officials congratulated him one by one and gave him gifts, but Li Qian just saw this scene in front of him, and his heart burst out with such emotion.

It is really difficult for people who have not experienced it personally to imagine such a shocking scene.

Below, the four worships of the officials have been completed, and Qin Hui, the right minister, got up and went out to present the memorial table.

The memorial table was sent all the way to Chengtianmen Tower. After Li Gan read it pretendingly, he handed it to the eunuch beside him, who then handed it to the official who declared the table and read it down.

"Under the sect, only Hongde is the most holy, inheriting the fate of heaven and earth, Shaohuaxia Wangtong, establishing the country and the ancestors, and governing the people under the whole world. Only my ancestors, inheriting the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty, Shaoxing the Yellow Emperor, the nobles of heaven, and the Kaide successor far away, and there are thousands of people from..."

The imperial edict at the Great Court Meeting was so long that it made people doze off, starting from the merits of the ancestors to the present, it's no wonder it wasn't long.

Li Gan had been agitated for quite a while, so naturally he couldn't calm down, but the ministers below fell asleep after hearing this.

The imperial censors all stared at each other with bright and sharp eyes, wandering around the edge of Chengtianmen Square, staring at the officials among them, and if anyone showed signs of violating discipline, they would immediately be recorded by the censors.

Even the people from the four grassland countries dare not be too presumptuous. There are plenty of ways to deal with them, and if it doesn't work, they can be thrown out on the spot...

From Li Qian's point of view, what everyone is doing can be seen at a glance.

Li Yuan and Yang Jian were exchanging glances vaguely, and from time to time glanced in Zhao Kuangyin's direction from the corner of their eyes.

And the big black fat man seemed to be unaware of all this, as if he was listening to the imperial edict with great interest.

The Xuanbiao officer had already spoken for a little while, and continued to shout with a high voice: "... I have honored Zude, succeeded to the emperor's test, and inherited the great rule. Daduan, who was not exhausted, did not dare to let himself go. Xu Yinghong continued, trembling day and night, looking up to his ancestor Mo Liezhao Fou, entrusting him with the most important, carrying on the celebration, Duan in Yuanliang..."

Many people who wandered in the sky pricked up their ears, especially the envoys of many vassal states, because the next thing is the achievements of His Majesty the Emperor in the past six months.

Although they got the news very early on and knew about the changes in the Daqian court, they were still shocked when they heard the words uttered by the proclaimer.

Not to mention them, even many ministers of the imperial court were stunned when they first heard it.

They are the witnesses of these changes!
It used to be that doing things in the court every day was like boiling a frog in warm water, and I thought it was nothing.

But now that all these things were put in front of them, the ministers suddenly discovered that His Majesty the Emperor had done so many things before he knew it!

Don't underestimate such a small achievement, it also depends on who made it and under what circumstances.

A dandy and absurd crown prince has made such achievements in half a year since he took the throne, which is enough to make everyone's jaw drop.

And what about the situation in the Dagan court?

The three powerful vassal states have already found out everything, and the courtiers are even more clear about their own situation.

When His Majesty ascended the throne, he had neither political power nor military power. It can be said bluntly that the original emperor was a puppet.

But even in this situation where he has no power in his hands, he can still stir up the situation in Dagan into a mess, and let the situation gradually develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.

It's hard to imagine, if this kind of person is allowed to grab a little bit of power and a little bit of opportunity, how much noise he can create?
Unknowingly, the way everyone looks at the top of the gate tower has quietly changed.

Some people's eyes showed a bit of sharpness, but some people's faces flashed with surprise and respect...

Naturally, Li Qian didn't know what the ministers were thinking. At this moment, he was still looking at the situation below.

Qin Hui was at the front with his eyes closed, and the censors behind him couldn't see the expression on his face, so he took the opportunity to be lazy.

However, Cai Jing's face was calm, his head was lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The servants behind him looked in Cai Jing's direction faintly, which made Li Gan a little curious.

Could it be that Cai Jing is going to do something else at this court meeting?
At this time, the Xuanbiao officer had finished reading what His Majesty the Emperor had done in the past six months, and then changed the subject and talked about the court's plan for next year.

At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what kind of ambitions His Majesty had, but after listening for a while, everyone was disappointed.

It's all empty talk, clichés, and scene talk, basically without a single sentence of substance.

No one thinks that Li Ganhui is a law-abiding master. Everyone realizes that His Majesty the Emperor is not the kind of person who can't control his mouth. Perhaps his style is his style...

When the Xuanbiao official said that his mouth was dry and his throat became hoarse, the performance of the table came to an end.

"... Only with benevolence and virtue can the princes be safe, and only thrift and diligence can benefit the people. It is still necessary for the princes and princes to cooperate with each other and support the feudal vassals. They are both Chinese and foreign. The civil and military virtuous ministers are virtuous and help each other to help the great difficulties..."

After reading the declaration form, the Great Court Assembly was halfway through, and it was time for His Majesty the Emperor to give a banquet. The atmosphere in Chengtianmen Square gradually became lively...
