Reincarnation of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Comprehensive

Chapter 323 The word given: Tianbao Jiuru

[The emperor does not wear a crown when he goes to court]

[The palace is blowing casual style]

These two sentences are used to describe the Tang Dynasty. They seem to be too out of the ordinary, but in fact they are not wrong.

After all, the previous Majesty, Li Shimin, was the emperor on horseback who fought in battles in person all year round when he was young. It is impossible to imagine that he would be asked to wear dozens of kinds of heavy court uniforms after he has conquered the world.

Mianfu?

Crown of Heaven?
Refuse to wear them all.

As his body weakened, Li Zhi, who suffered from wind disease, even wore a waistcoat with fat-legged trousers all year round.

Gradually, this style became a dress approved by the imperial court. The emperor and his ministers were distinguished only in color and pattern, and the rank of ministers was distinguished by ritual accessories such as swords, pendants, ribbons, and hairpins.

In addition, the enslavement phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty was not as serious as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was not necessary to kneel down when meeting the royal family, let alone devaluing oneself as a slave. There were very few occasions when one would even address one's biological father as an adult.

Due to various factors, coupled with Wu Zetian's extremely friendly attitude, as well as the same attitude of Li Xian and other princes, Meng Fan no longer restrained himself and directly sat down on the soft cushions like those statues of the God of Freedom in the temple.

Seeing this scene, the smile on the queen's face became brighter and brighter, but this made Li Xian's heart tighten and his sense of crisis increased sharply.

As a prince, he has forgotten this mother who loved him since childhood. When was the last time she was so close to him? How sad!

In addition, when I was struggling with how to deal with the left Taoist sorcerer Ming Chongyan, the timely appearance of Taoist Maoshan didn't mean anything?

Godsend!

However, with the pressure of his father on top of his head, he seems to have gradually become less concerned with political affairs, either recuperating or having fun. His mother can make the final decision on some military and state affairs. In fact, she has always held power firmly in her hands.

Today, Meng Fan's official position and title have not yet been determined, but he can vaguely be regarded as a national teacher.

The prince couldn't wait to win over the master of the state, who was extremely capable. What on earth did he want to do?This dynasty’s crown prince fell due to his victory-weary tactics, and this is not without precedent!

Therefore, at this moment, Li Xian's joy and depression were intertwined, and he could only silently watch his mother's performance.

"Fan'er, you became a monk when you were young, do you have a name now?" Wu Zetian asked with a smile.

"Go back to aunt, no."

Meng Fan shook his head. Unknowingly, he had already acquiesced in this title. After all, he was a junior. How could he disobey his elders who could not refuse their kindness in such a trivial matter?

At the same time, this aunt is not just a queen. Because she has participated in the Zen Ceremony and served as Yaxian, she has been recognized by heaven and earth. She is called the Second Saint together with her husband. She has handled the affairs of the court for nearly ten years, so it is not an exaggeration to regard her as a king.

"Then how about my aunt getting one for you?"

"I can't ask for it."

Since it was a family dinner and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Meng Fan did not show off his status as a Taoist and stood up and gave a cross-hand salute.

In ancient times, it was really hard to explain without a word, which was equivalent to face. Since this controversial legendary elder wanted to give a word, let's hear it.

To be honest, Meng Fan didn't even have a Taoist title at the beginning. After all, Hong Kong Island was in the late 80s when the law was at its peak. He didn't pay attention to these things. Later, when he was promoted to death in the Republic of China, he naturally got the title of Beidou Qiyuan Zhenren.

There was great singing and dancing in the hall.

Emperor Li Zhi, who was a little distracted, came to his senses after hearing his wife's words.

In the past, he was the king of Jin and his courtesy name was Shan.

Is Li Weishan... really good?

If you are soft-hearted and allow your relatives to control the government, and leave your name and weapons in the hands of your uncle, you may not be able to see your father after you control Long Bintian.

There is also the fourth brother, King Li Tai of Wei, whose courtesy name is Huibao, two very beautiful characters, no less than Zhou Gongjin, but the latter is a handsome man whose name is recorded in history, but his brother... his appearance does not match his name.

"Jiuru, how are you?"

Wu Zetian's slightly magnetic voice sounded.

He first looked at the person involved, Meng Fan, and then turned to his husband, Emperor Li Zhi, as if seeking advice.

Princess Taiping Li Lingyue and her two other fun-loving prince brothers didn't think it was anything.On the contrary, Prince Li Xian frowned slightly and said in his heart: "Heaven protects you, and everything is prosperous. Like mountains, mountains, hills, mausoleums, and rivers, everything will increase... Like the perseverance of the moon, the rise of the sun, the rise of the sun. The longevity of the Nanshan Mountains is like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, which are all preserved."

The words Jiuru are used together to wish longevity, so it is also called Tianbao Jiuru. But the key point is that this poem was originally used to wish the ancients a birthday!
Although as time goes by, dignitaries can also use this poem to wish their elders birthdays, it is inevitably suspected of overstepping their bounds.

Emperor Li Zhi's literary attainments are not bad, so he naturally knows allusions. He tapped the table gently and murmured:

"God bless and make it stable."

"can."

"Since you are one of my own, my uncle will give you another real job. How about Taishi Ling? There is a vacancy over there."

It looked like they were discussing, but in fact, his tone revealed that he could not refuse. After all, he was the Supreme Humanity. Even if he could not practice and had been plagued by diseases for many years, he still had the authority to become a god!

The official position of Taishi Ling is easily associated with Sima Qian, but this was not the case in the Tang Dynasty——

Responsible for testing astronomy and calendars, regularly reporting to the court the measured sun, moon, stars, wind and clouds, climate, and auspicious events. He also led his subordinates to formulate calendars every year, submitted them to the emperor for promulgation, and presided over various major ceremonies.

In the future, the Taishi Bureau will have a more widely known name: Qin Tianjian.

A fifth-grade casual official is paired with a fifth-grade official, both professional and well-matched, just right.

"Thank you..."

Although his thoughts were changing, Meng Fan did not forget the etiquette.

However, just as he was about to stand up and salute again, he heard Li Zhi's deep voice: "No need."

"In front of me in private, there is no need to call me a poor person or a humble minister. Just call me uncle."

"Here."

Hearing this, Meng Fan changed his hands to salute and sat back.

From this moment on, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed and truly felt like a family dinner.

Both Li Zhi and Wu Zetian no longer use words such as "Zhen" and "Gu", but prefer the more colloquial "I".

The girl Li Lingyue, who was lying in her mother's arms, ran over with a sweet smile and stayed beside him in the name of toasting, pestering him to tell some strange stories.

In fact, it's not a story. After all, Meng Fan has personally experienced many incidents involving ghosts and gods. Just change the background and put it in the Tang Dynasty.

Not long after, under the eloquent narration, the little girl sometimes turned pale, sometimes became extremely excited, and clutched his sleeves tightly.

Zhou Wang Li Xian and Prime Minister Li Dan had similar reactions, but they were not so timid.

on the first place.

Wu Zetian no longer sat upright, so she ordered Gong'e to get a few tables, rest her elbows on them, put her palms against her chin, lean forward slightly, occasionally frowning, and she listened carefully to the story.

Men like to look at beautiful women and often describe the visual enjoyment they bring by saying they are beautiful and delicious.

In the same way, women are no exception.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty when Hu Feng prevailed.

In fact, Wu Zetian had long forgotten the feelings of a young girl who was young and ignorant, but this did not hinder her aesthetic interest in handsome men.

For the son of an old friend when he was young, Tianhou had a very good impression. She never expected that among the younger generation with the blood of the Wu family, there would be such a talented person who could penetrate the mystery and the secluded, and travel the three worlds.

The saying that appearance equals justice had a certain truth in the Tang Dynasty and even later dynasties.

Because after passing the imperial examination, you do not directly become an official, you have to pass the election again. Only men who speak freely, have a handsome body and a dignified appearance can step into the court or govern.

If you are short in stature and have a wretched appearance, you will most likely have no chance of becoming an official in the court.

According to legend, Judge Zhong Kui, who once had a relationship with Meng Fan and gave him a treasure, committed suicide in anger during the palace examination because he frightened the emperor and was disliked because of his ferocious appearance... cough cough.
