Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

The night banquet in Zichen Palace can be said to be quite boring.

Datang's cooking method still stays in the two ways of boiling and stewing. Boiling is a pot of random stewing, plus various types of staple food.

The stew makes Shangbo even more unacceptable, which is to cut all kinds of meat into thin slices, and then eat them with various sauces.

Shangbo didn't want to be the first player to die from liver fluke.

In addition, spices are only a luxury that nobles put in sachets, and peppers are still in America. The taste of this night banquet can be said to be lackluster.

However, although Shang Bo felt that the night banquet was lacklustre, the Silla envoys around him were full of greasy food.

Shang Bo looked at the Silla envoy with contempt, but thinking of Bangzi's situation in this era, Shang Bo could understand.

Commercially exploited by the Bohai State, he was blackmailed by the three towns of Hedong every now and then, and Bangzi's envoy to the Tang Dynasty had to cry to the Tang court every so often.

However, at this time, Datang hadn't been able to put down his rebellion, and he would not pay attention to Bangzi's request.

The Silla envoy's name was Jin Zaiyu, and he was a gossip guy.

While eating, he looked at the two seats under the throne, which were the seats of the crown prince and King Qi.

People in the Tang Dynasty did not mandate to keep watch until the early morning. After the banquet, the emperor withdrew from the harem.

When the emperor left, the concubines in the harem naturally followed suit. At this time, the crown prince and King Qi who were sitting under the throne became the focus of attention of all the officials in the palace.

It can be said that King Qi was a surprise today. He was able to perform the Nuo dance instead of the emperor. Although he still danced with the prince, it also showed that he had the strength to win the heir.

The officials of King Qi's family were also overjoyed, and they were drinking and drinking in the hall. Once King Qi succeeds to the throne, they will be ministers of the dragon.

After the envoy of Silla finished eating, he said to an envoy wearing animal skin clothes beside him, "Aktai, do you know who in the Tang Dynasty, our vassal state needs to please the most?"

The emissary in animal skin clothes couldn't even speak Chinese well, and he didn't even understand the political structure of the Tang Dynasty, so he could only shake his head and said: "Aktai only knows the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Honorable man!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a first gesture.

Shang Bo looked at the envoy's naive expression, and couldn't help but listen to their conversation sideways.

Jin Zaiyu, the envoy of Silla, obviously drank too much wine, and his tongue was a little knotted. He said in a showy tone: "The most honorable person in the Tang Dynasty is naturally the supreme emperor, the second most honorable person. Not necessarily."

After he finished speaking, envoys from several small feudal states around him stared at him.

Among the many vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, Silla had the highest degree of Sinicization.

Now the Lord of Silla employs Confucian scholars to build academies in the country, and Kim Jae-yu even studied Sinology in the Imperial College.

In addition, the envoys of these small countries have limited national development, and some of them are not even from the Confucian cultural circle. It would be good if they can learn Sinicization, let alone understand the complicated court situation of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Jin Zaiyu is also a clueless person. He said through the smell of alcohol: "The second most noble person in the Tang Dynasty was the crown prince, but now His Royal Highness King Qi has risen, and King Qi is the number one warrior in the Tang Dynasty!"

When the envoys from these small countries heard about the number one warrior, they all looked at King Qi in the main hall with enthusiastic eyes.

Sure enough, King Qi was stronger than the weak Prince Kong Wu, and they all believed what Jin Zaiyu said.

After all, some of these small countries are still in the tribal era, and it is the political tradition of these small countries that the bravest people become tribal chiefs.

Jin Zaiyu's words were easy to understand, and immediately caught the hearts of these small country envoys.

Jin Zaiyu continued: "This year, our Silla Kingdom has already sent gifts to the crown prince and Prince Qi's residence!"

Shang Bo laughed a little, it was the first time he had seen such a careless messenger.

But after Jin Zaiyu finished speaking, the envoys from the remaining small countries all showed annoyed expressions, and they all felt that they had lost their etiquette by not giving gifts to King Qi.

There will be a Zhengdan Grand Ceremony tomorrow, and the banquet will be over before midnight.

Shang Bo hurried back to catch up on sleep. I have to say that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were really hard. They stayed up late to attend the banquet and had to go to court the next day. I don't know how these old guys in Zhengshitang survived.

New Year, the first day of the first month.

Shangbo logged into the game, and sure enough, there was a DEBUFF of [staying up late] on his head.

This Debuff will reduce the hit rate and also reduce the time to concentrate.

Shang Bo yawned twice, dragged his tired body, changed into clothes, and rode to Daming Palace together with Wei Yuan who was already prepared.

A carriage followed behind the two of them. This is the almanac that Wei Yuan re-transcribed in the past few days.

The Zhengdan Grand Dynasty will be held in the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace. The Hanyuan Hall is the largest palace in the Daming Palace, just behind the Zichen Hall where the night banquet was held yesterday.

As an official in Beijing, Wang Chengwei also needs to attend the Great Court Meeting.

He changed into a turquoise official robe, came out of Wannian County Yamen, and rode towards Daming Palace on horseback.

Cui Guangyuan, Jing Zhaoyin from the third grade, had already set off early. People in the Tang Dynasty were martial arts, and ordinary civil servants would only ride in a horse-drawn carriage after they were over fifty.

Ordinary civil servants basically travel on horseback, let alone military commanders.

The only ones who can enjoy privileges in Chang'an City are the prime ministers of Zhengshitang.

As long as you become a prime minister, no matter what age you are, you can enter the imperial city in a bullock cart.

You must know that cattle are a tool of productivity, and they are more valuable than horses in this era. The prime minister can ride in an ox cart, which is also a symbol of the prime minister's privilege.

Cui Guangyuan shivered. In such a cold day, he had to ride a horse to go to court at five o'clock in the morning, which was simply torture.

"Grandpa!"

Just as Cui Guangyuan was about to go out, he saw his daughter Cui Shujun wrapping up a copper Tang Pozi and handing it to Cui Guangyuan, saying:
"Grandpa, it's cold outside, use this Tang Pozi to keep out the cold."

It's still her daughter's caring, Cui Guangyuan took Mrs. Tang in a good mood, but saw that there was another one in his daughter's hand.

"This is?"

Cui Shujun boldly said: "My grandfather met Wang Xiancheng in the waiting room and handed it over to him. My grandfather is a third-rank official, and the Dachao will stand in the Hanyuan Hall. Wang Xiancheng is a seventh-rank sesame official. Stand outside the hall."

Cui Guangyuan just wanted to praise his little padded jacket, why did his elbow turn away?
No wonder Wang Chengwei often came to Jingzhao Mansion to report on his work, but he didn't expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to steal his house?
Cui Guangyuan wished he could smash Mrs. Tang in his arms!
But thinking of his daughter's delayed marriage, Cui Guangyuan endured his anger and accepted the two Mrs. Tang, and rode to Daming Palace on horseback.

The Zhuque Avenue in the early morning was very lively, just as crowded as yesterday's palace banquet.

Wang Chengwei, who was riding a horse, finally understood why the closer to the palace, the higher the price of the house.

Just the commuting time for this grand court meeting is worth the price!

As the toughest low-level official, Wang Chengwei rode a horse across half of Chang'an City, and finally arrived at the waiting courtyard in front of the imperial palace.

The most accurate timekeeping method in the Tang Dynasty was the water leak, which is an ancient timekeeping water clock, also known as the leaky clock.

Waiting means waiting, leaking is the meaning of leaking the clock, and waiting for the leaking courtyard is the place to wait for the court.

In order to prevent officials from being crowded in court, Li Longji built a waiting courtyard outside the Daming Palace during his reign.

Dailou Courtyard is a small square where you can directly enter the Daming Palace from the inner gate.

There is also a row of small rooms in the waiting room, where the charcoal fire is burning. This is the place where the prime ministers wait to go to court.

Cui Guangyuan, who was already standing in the waiting room, looked enviously at the prime minister Miao Jinqing who entered the row house and waited to go to court.

But Cui Guangyuan knew that there would be no accidents in his life, so he would have no chance to make a public obeisance.

Although his qualifications and grades are not lacking, the political stain of surrendering to the puppet Yan determines that it is impossible for him to enter the political affairs hall.

Now he can continue to stay in Jingzhao Mansion because Chang'an has just been subordinated and the situation is not stable enough, so the emperor keeps him to stabilize the court situation.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, there were very few Jing Zhaoyin who could last long. Cui Guangyuan has been doing it for many years. When the emperor has a better candidate, he will definitely replace him.

Cui Guangyuan's best way out is to release the governor of Shangzhou, but he is used to the prosperity of Chang'an, so how can he bear to leave Chang'an.

Cui Guangyuan searched with his eyes, and soon saw a young official in a green robe chatting with two other young officials.

Cui Guangyuan walked over, took out Mrs. Tang from his sleeve, glared at Wang Chengwei and said, "Take it!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Guangyuan left quickly.

Wang Chengwei was also a little puzzled, but when Wei Yingwu saw the exquisite embroidery on Mrs. Tang, she immediately understood what this daughter's family had.

He smiled and said to Wang Chengwei: "It is said in the court that Zhuangyuan Gong is going to be Cui Dayin's son-in-law, it seems that it is not groundless?

"

Wang Chengwei understood the origin of this Mrs. Tang, he put away Mrs. Tang and changed the topic and said: "Brother Gu will be merciful at the Dachao meeting today!"

Both Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu served as censors, and Gu Kuang served as the censor of Yushitai. Today is the big court meeting, and the censors in the palace are too busy, so some of the censors with a square personality are appointed as the censors of the palace. Responsible for maintaining the order of the ranks of low-level officials outside the temple.

Gu Kuang's character was upright and upright, and he was named by Yu Shi Zhongcheng to be responsible for maintaining the order of the civil servant train outside the palace.

Wang Chengwei would also stand on this train, so he begged Gu Kuang to let him go.

Gu Kuang said with a stern face: "The Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting is a grand ceremony of the court. If the champion loses his manners, Kuang will naturally act impartially!"

Wang Chengwei had a bitter face, and he cursed secretly, playing a game and holding a meeting, the dog's plan is too tortured.

At this time, an eunuch entered the Waiting Courtyard and said: "The auspicious time has come for the great court meeting, and all the ministers' work classes will be included in the palace!"
