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

Chapter 6 The First Court Meeting

As soon as he left the Zhongcui Hall, Li Qian saw Wei Zhongxian smiling towards him, followed by a group of little eunuchs carrying their shoulders.

"let's go!"

Li Qian still had a bit of getting up in his heart, and waved his hand angrily.

It was not yet clear, that is, at the time of four quarters and five quarters of Yin's time, he was pulled out of the bed.

You know, Li Gan never got up so early even in his third year of high school in the previous life!
Seeing that Li Qian was not happy, Wei Zhongxian became more cautious: "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Driving along the main road, out of the Qianyuan Palace, I saw a group of Habayashi guards in bright armor waiting in front of us.

I didn't recognize it from a distance, but I saw it through the light of the lantern when I walked in. Isn't this Lu Bu?

"Father! You are here!"

Lu Bu greeted him with a smile on his face: "From now on, let Bu protect your safety."

Li Gan waved his hand uninterestedly, telling them to follow behind.

Lu Bu came to Li Gan's shoulder and looked at Wei Zhongxian, both of them felt the hostility from each other.

Escorted by Habayashi guards, Li Gan continued to drive south along the long blue-white jade stone road.

The eunuchs carried their shoulders, walked through several majestic round gates, left the inner palace through the tall middle doorway of Zhide Gate, and headed for Qianyang Hall.

The Daqian Palace is divided into two parts: the front court and the inner palace.

The former court is collectively called Qianyang Palace, including Qianyang Palace, Ziwei Palace, Chengqing Palace and so on.The emperor went to court, received courtiers, handled political affairs, etc., all in the front court.

The main hall of Dagan is Qianyang Hall, where normal court meetings are held.

In the days since he ascended the throne, Li Gan has already finished handling his father's funeral.

Today is his first court meeting as emperor.

The new emperor's first court meeting was supposed to be a grand court meeting, and the etiquette was extremely heavy.

The second guard of the imperial army, the chief of ceremonies, the whipping officer, the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of rites, the passer-in officer... and so on will all appear on the stage.

Before the court meeting, the imperial drum must be sounded, and the stone horses, rhinos, and images are also indispensable.

The Ministry of Rituals and the palace should prepare a complete set of ceremonies, such as walking chariots, stewed books, friends fans, etc., display incense cases, treasure cases and other decorations, as well as teaching workshops and music.

The enthronement ceremony will also be held in the square in front of the Qianyang Hall, with bells and music played, and all officials congratulating... Finally, the emperor dressed in a solemn crown will announce the edict.

When he arrived at Li Gan's place, there was nothing there. He only went to court in normal emperor uniform.

But instead of feeling wronged, someone felt that it was already complicated enough.

"Fortunately, the court meeting is once every three days..."

Li Gan walked down the shoulder sleepily, and murmured dissatisfiedly: "If this happens every day, I will lose at least ten years of my life."

The Qianyang Hall is extremely spacious and imposing, with resplendent and magnificent carvings, a bright red carpet, and standing dragon pillars...

And at the highest point in the hall, there is a large dragon chair.

Kowloon is entrenched, surrounded by auspicious clouds, with towering horns and looming scales and claws. Cloud patterns and fire beads are embossed around the body of the dragon.

Wisps of morning light came in from outside the hall, and the surface of the dragon chair glowed with golden light.

Li Gan looked down, and found that the officials in red silk gauze robes and jade belts around their waists had already arrived in the hall, sitting together, talking in twos and threes.

That's right, not kneeling or standing, but sitting in the hall, and each person is even equipped with a special table.

But even so, there was no sign of any crowding in Qianyang Hall.

All the staff are wearing scarlet robes, only two young officials lined up on the left and right are wearing green robes with egret patches on their chests, and there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

These are two living men who belong to Menxia Province and have the same duties as living eunuchs.

The emperor's words and deeds in the harem were recorded by the eunuchs, and they were the two of them in the previous dynasty.

"His Majesty is here!"

Wei Zhongxian shouted loudly, and all the officials below stopped their words at the same time, and stood up to salute Li Gan.

"See my emperor."

Li Qian was a little bit taken aback at first. He imagined that the court meeting would be that the ministers hold the important power and don't pay attention to the emperor at all.

But right now these people actually got up respectfully to salute.

"Peace, all gentlemen!"

Li Gan was flattered to sit on the dragon chair with a little buttocks. These ministers are all historical celebrities!
There are four people sitting at the head of civil servants on the right.

The top leader of Zhongshu Province, Zhongshuling Qin Hui, is also the right minister.

The top leader of the Menxia Province, Yan Song, who is also in charge of the household department, is collectively referred to as Zuo Xiang.

These two are the most powerful among the civil servants, sitting at the forefront of all the civil servants.

The seats next to the two of them are Cai Jing, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Punishments, and He Shen, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials.

'These four people get together... why don't you worry about dying! '

Li Qian sighed in his heart, these people are all crouching dragons and phoenix youngsters of great power.

However, not all civil servants are treacherous ministers. The official censor Wei Zheng who Li Gan knows is a loyal minister.

In the sequence of military officers on the right, there are three leaders.

A fat, black-faced man with a short beard under his chin. This man is Zhao Kuangyin, Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World.

A white-faced middle-aged man with a tall and strong figure, bushy beard and hair, and serious eyes. His appearance is somewhat similar to Li Gan. This person is Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

The last person was also the oldest, with a peculiar appearance and a prominent frontal bone.Some people once said that he has a long face and Dai Gan, and he has the noble appearance of "king of the world".

This person is Yang Jian, the general of Zhen Guo.

Looking around, there were actually three founding ancestors and four treacherous ministers who destroyed the country in one court.

"Being the emperor of these people for a day is a blessing I have cultivated in three lifetimes..."

Li Gan sighed silently in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian beside him, and raised his chin.

Wei Zhongxian understood immediately, holding a snow-white dust whisk, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "There is something to play, nothing to retreat to the court!"

Originally, this work should be done by a special servant in the palace, but Wei Zhongxian insisted on following him, saying that he was reluctant to leave His Majesty, so Li Gan agreed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

A scarlet-robed official with a peacock patch on his chest stood up and bowed while holding a jade wat board.

"Ok?"

Li Gan looked at him: "Who are you? What do you want to play?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, my minister, Zhang Yong, Minister of the Honglu Temple, asked for help for the envoys of the Yue Kingdom."

"The envoy of the Yue Kingdom asks for help..." Li Gan subconsciously thought of Xi Shi yesterday.

"Tell me carefully!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Yong straightened up and said slowly, "Three days ago, the Yue envoy Fan Li came to Beijing and said that Wu attacked Yue without reason..."

"The king of Yue wants soldiers from the imperial court to stop the war..."

Listening to his report, Li Qian nodded slowly.

There is not much difference from the Wuyue battle in memory.

At this time, the Yue State had not yet been captured, so he came to the Dagan court to move reinforcements.

"After the performance, I respectfully request Your Majesty's holy judgment." Zhang Yong sat down again after talking about the situation.

Li Gan opened his mouth, wanting to express his opinion.

After seeing the pairs of eyes below, he temporarily changed his words: "What's the best plan, gentlemen?"

Many ministers below nodded secretly. It seems that the new emperor is not a stunned young man, who will just blatantly seize power if he doesn't come up.

If you want to seize power as soon as you come up, you will have to use some means, which will inevitably cause trouble.

"His Majesty."

A military officer with a strong figure and a rough face on the right stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Wu Guo launched troops to attack Yue without a reason, ignoring the authority of the court!"

"If you ignore Yue's request for help and let Wu do it, the rest of the princes will definitely despise the court!"

"Minister Zhao Kuangyi, please lead the army to attack Wu, and use it to rectify the court!"
