Chapter 407 0403 [Chang Chao]

The next moment, Liu Chang was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The tiger rushed forward, stood up, put its two front paws on Han Zhen's shoulders, opened its bloody mouth, stretched out its tongue full of barbs, and kept licking Han Zhen's face.

The tail like an iron whip behind him wags left and right, like a playful dog.

"Stop fucking licking it, it stinks."

Han Zhen looked disgusted and reached out to push its head away.

This stupid tiger hadn't cleaned his teeth and mouth for an unknown amount of time, and the smell was terrible.

When he was there, he often brushed the tiger's teeth.

But after he went on the expedition, naturally no one dared.

Although Zhao Fujin and the others were not afraid of tigers, they would not have the guts to brush their teeth. If they were not careful, their whole hands would be gone. Only Han Zhen dared to do this.

The tiger didn't care. After his head was pushed away, he immediately leaned in again.

In its view, Han Zhen is not only its master, but also its playmate.

He often played with it in the water, so that after Han Zhen went on an expedition, it seemed particularly bored.

The group of women would just point around it, which was very annoying.

After licking for a while, the tiger lay on the ground, turned over, and exposed his fat belly.

Han Zhen knelt down, pinched its belly, frowned and said, "Look at you, you're so fat that you're almost turning into a pig!"

"Hooho~"

The tiger roared twice, with a look of enjoyment on its face, like a kitten.

Liu Chang was frightened when he saw it, and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

There were rumors that the official was actually Erlang Zhenjun who descended to earth, but he didn't believe it at first.

Previously, the Emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasties was known as the Emperor of Yuqing Cult Master Mingwei Daojun, but the result was that he was no different from ordinary people.

When he learned that the Jin people were coming, he was so frightened that he fled in a hurry.

But at this moment, he somewhat believed it.

A colorful tiger that weighs three to five hundred pounds is like a kitten in the hands of officials. It can just lie down on its stomach. Let alone seeing it, it is simply unheard of.

After playing with the tiger for a while, Han Zhen came out of the Alien Beast Pavilion when he saw that the sky was getting dark.

Returning to Yanfu Palace, he took a bath again.

……

In the bedroom of Ruizhu Palace.

Zhao Fujin nestled in Han Zhen's arms, his white and tender hands gently sliding on the beautiful tiger.

"Husband, I will ask you to take care of Sister Yupan and the others today."

Han Zhen said casually: "You agreed?"

"I refused."

Zhao Fujin said obediently: "My husband treats me so well, how can I cause trouble to my husband?"

There are distances between brothers among civilians, let alone the royal family.

Zhao Ji has many children, but everyone is friendly to each other. Basically, they all move around more often.

The closest person to Zhao Fujin in the palace was his sister Zhao Fujin, and even his brothers Zhao Mo and Zhao Zhen were not very familiar with him.

"Not bad!"

Han Zhen gently patted her buttocks and said warmly: "In the future, you don't need to pay attention to these bullshit things. Just focus on being happy, you naughty boy."

"Husband, you are so kind!"

Zhao Fujin said with a mist in his eyes.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed."

"Ah."

Zhao Fujin nodded, arching in his arms like a little kitten, finally finding a comfortable position, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

The next day.

At dawn, countless officials gathered outside the Xuande Gate of the imperial city.

When the time came, the imperial city gate slowly opened from the inside.

A group of civil and military officials immediately filed in.

Today is the first imperial meeting held by Han Zhen. Officials of seventh grade and above, regardless of civil or military, are required to participate.

Nowadays, the official uniforms have not yet been unified. The generals still wear black light armor and are huddled together in a mess.

Entering the Chui Gong Hall, there was an eunuch on duty, arranging the seats in a loud voice: "Quiet, civil and military classes are divided. You, what about you, why do you, a military general, want to get into the civil servants?"

Liu Xi stood there at a loss, but saw a big hand pulling him over.

Liu Qi curled his lips and said: "After all, my eldest brother has been working as an official in the imperial city for several years. How can he be like a new official?"

"This is my first time going to court as a brother."

Liu Xi laughed sarcastically.

He had previously entered an official position under cover of circumstances, but it was just a job. A low-ranking official had no qualifications to go to court.

There were so many officials like him that the eunuch on duty was hoarse from shouting. After working for a while, he finally arranged the order.

Zhao Ting and Shi Wenhui were dressed in purple robes, belonging to the left and right respectively, and each led civil and military officials.

Looking at the dragon chair on the palace platform, Zhao Ting sighed slightly in his heart. Today may be the last time for him to stand at the head of the civil service.

However, his mentality is peaceful. With his ability as a dragon, the officials will definitely not treat him badly.

Shi Wenhui will not move. He also serves as a recorder and joins the army, representing the military department.

Given the importance that officials attach to the military, no matter how the cabinet changes, there will always be a place for the military.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Zhao Ting's thoughts.

All the officials looked serious, their faces were solemn, and their eyes were not squinting.

Han Zhen, dressed in black uniform, strode onto the stage and sat on the dragon chair.

"Go to court."

Liu Chang shouted loudly.

It is said to be a big court meeting, but in fact it is still a regular meeting.

Normally, there are only three court meetings a year, one each on New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Wanshou (the emperor's birthday). In addition, if there is an emperor's enthronement, wedding, etc., additional meetings will be held.

Moreover, the court meeting was just a ritual, and the monarch and his ministers did not discuss matters.

The rules are complicated, and there will also be musicians from the studio to accompany the dances.

There are five state rituals: good luck, bad luck, military, guest, and honor.

No matter what dynasties it has passed through, and no matter how the order of the five rituals has changed, the auspicious ritual has always been the first of the five rituals.

After all, the great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military service.

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial ceremony was a Jiali ceremony, but in the Song Dynasty it was changed to a Binli ceremony. The reason was that the political framework of Zhao and Song Dynasties was very different from that of the previous dynasties, and they shared the world with scholar-bureaucrats.

The relationship between monarch and minister has changed. It is no longer father and son, but host and guest. Therefore, the imperial meeting was changed to the guest ceremony, which means to entertain guests.

"See your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed!"

All the courtiers bowed and bowed, and shouted in unison.

"No gift."

Han Zhen raised his hands in vain.

When all the courtiers stood up, he said loudly: "Since the establishment of the cabinet, Zhongshu Ling and Zhongshu Sheren have been vacant. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. The same is true for the cabinet."

Hearing this, all the courtiers looked calm.

Everyone already knows the candidates for Dazai and Subai.

"Xie Ding!"

"Chen is here!"

Xie Ding took a step forward and stood out from the queue.

Han Zhen ordered: "Grant Xie Ding the title of Zhongshu Ling, in charge of the cabinet."

"My lord...thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Zhongshu Ling, the head of the hundred officials.

Even Xie Ding couldn't help but feel excited at this moment. He bent down and knelt down, saluting and bowing.

Han Zhen continued the appointment: "Chang Yukun is appointed as a member of Zhongshushe."

But at this moment Chang Yukun is still in Licheng, Jinan.

After the two appointments were announced, all the civil servants suddenly became energetic and nervous.

Under the official rule, it is rare for one person to hold two positions. The entry of Xie Ding and Chang Yukun into the cabinet means that there are two real vacancies.

Whether it is the official minister or the prefect of Jinan, they are all delicious food.

Moreover, with the precedent set by Xie Ding and others, the possibility of these two positions entering the cabinet will be higher in the future.

Han Zhen said loudly: "Pei Huai."

Pei Huai was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic and hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "I'm here!"

"Anoint Pei Huai as the prefect of Jinan."

"I must work hard and live up to your kindness!"

Pei Huai couldn't hide his joy and kowtowed in thanks.

The eyes of all the civil servants looked at him, full of envy.

Pei Huai had the merit of introducing Deng Song and had been working diligently during his tenure. Han Zhen planned to give him a chance to serve as an official.

Looking around at His Highness and his ministers, Han Zhen named him: "Zhao Ding."

what?

Zhao Ding?

Not to mention all the officials, even Zhao Ding himself was confused.

"What are you doing standing still?"

Wu Min on the side quietly poked him and reminded him in a low voice.

Only then did Zhao Ding come back to his senses and quickly walked out of the queue: "Your Majesty... I'm here!"

Han Zhen said loudly: "Award Zhao Ding as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

In one section, there is one minister, two ministers, two ministers and two ministers.

Originally, before Han Zhen proclaimed himself emperor, a Shangshu was the fourth grade.

Now after becoming emperor, his subordinate official positions will also be promoted to one rank.

The rank of minister is the third rank, the rank of minister is the fourth rank, the rank of doctor is the fifth rank, and the rank of Yuanwailang is from the sixth rank to the seventh rank.

Zhao Ding was just a seventh-rank minor official before, but his sudden leap to a third-rank official was a meteoric rise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ding was extremely grateful and bent down to kowtow.

Han Zhen continued the appointment: "Assign Yang Shu to be the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the president of the Institute of Trade."

"Awarded to Gu Si, Vice President of Zhuda Business Academy."

"Awarded to Lin Cong (Xiao Chong), the Commander-in-Chief of the Secret Service."

"Awarded to Chen Dong, Vice President of the Inspectorate."

The appointments of Yang Shu, Gu Si and Xiao Chong were not surprising to the courtiers.

After all, these three people were close friends before the official uprising. They had been with him since he was young and were his confidants. Now after two or three years of experience, it is reasonable for them to be reused.

What surprised them was Chen Dong's appointment.

Chen Dong was just a high school student before, but his result was even more outrageous than Zhao Ding. He was promoted to the Vice President of the Inspectorate like he was on a rocket.

Although the official rank of the Fifth Academy is slightly lower than that of the Fourth Ministry, in terms of authority, they are equal and equal.

The vice-president is equivalent to a minister, a serious official of the fifth rank.

How can he, Chen Dong, be so virtuous and capable?

Seeing all the courtiers showing dissatisfaction, Xie Ding's face was expressionless, while Zhao Ting's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.

What a bunch of idiots!

What department is the Inspectorate?

That is a sword in the hands of the officials. Not to mention that Chen Dong is an imperial student, even if he is a country man, if the officials say he can do it, he can do it.

"Awarded to Vice President of Yu Bozhuang Academy of Engineering Sciences."

"Awarded to Wu Min as Minister of Rites."

"Awarded to He Li as the governor of Kaifeng."

"Awarded to Huang Shang, Dean of the Academy of Religious Affairs."

"..."

After the series of appointments of civil servants were completed, Han Zhen turned to look at the formation of military generals.

This time we sent troops to attack the Jin Dynasty and went south to attack the Song Dynasty. Many generals had outstanding military exploits. It was time to reward them based on their merits.

Han Zhen ordered: "Read it."

Liu Chang held the imperial edict in his hand and sang: "Liu Qi!"

"The general is here!"

"Liu Qi was made the son of Jingning County, with a settlement of 600 households, a bounty of 10,000 catties, a mansion, 300 bolts of silk, a liter of Eastern pearls, and a pair of Ruyi jade."

There is a difference between grant and title. Grant is the conferment of official, and title is both the conferment of official and title.

Of course, the title under Han Zhen's rule did not have actual fiefdom, it was just a kind of honor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, General!"

Liu Qi grinned extremely happily.

Jingning County is one small step closer to becoming the champion.

"Female Han Shizhong as a male from Suide County, grant him a settlement of 300 households, and give him a reward..."
