travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 18 Long live my emperor

The plan of a year is in the spring, and the plan of a day is in the morning.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there was a practice of early dynasties, a three-day small court meeting, a seven-day big court meeting, and today a three-day small court meeting.

The participants of the Xiaochaohui are all the court officials and the chief officials of various ministries, and they will make an overall report to the emperor on various current situations in the world.

The Hall of Tongzheng, which means the harmony between the government and the people, is held here, whether it is a small court meeting or a big court meeting.

When Zhao Fei led a group of guards, eunuchs, and maids into the Tongzheng Hall, the hall was already full of officials from various ministries.

When Zhao Fei sat on the dragon chair on the high platform in the north of the main hall, the ministers in the hall, led by an old man in red robe who was estimated to be 80 years old, knelt on the ground at the same time and sang loudly:
"Your servants will see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Although I have seen such scenes countless times on TV in later generations, watching others and being watched by others are two completely different concepts. At this moment, I feel this kind of strong costume drama atmosphere personally, and Zhao Fei is a little confused for a while. Overwhelmed.

After the ministers in the audience finished singing, they naturally stood up quickly according to the general rules, but they waited for a long time, but Zhao Fei did not speak.

They didn't know that Zhao Fei was bluffed by them and forgot his lines, but they just felt that the emperor seemed a little unhappy today, and they didn't know whether it was the clumsy person who provoked the little emperor.

"His Majesty……"

Fortunately, although Zhao Fei forgot the words, someone did not, and Chu Xuan reminded him in a low voice.

After being yelled by Chu Xuan twice, Zhao Fei finally came to his senses. Looking at him, all the ministers bowed their heads and knelt down, and immediately realized that he seemed to have made another oolong.

"Everyone loves you." Zhao Fei spoke slowly, imitating his memory of the court meeting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

The ministers below immediately made a loud noise, and then stood up one by one from front to back.

After all the ministers stood up, Zhao Fei winked at the eunuch on the left. This eunuch is the director of Tongzheng Palace, the emperor's senior secretary who serves the emperor during court meetings. His name is Xiao Anzi. People in the palace usually call him Mr. An.

At this moment, Eunuch An followed Zhao Fei's wink, and immediately took a step forward, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Ministers, you have something to play, and nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch An retreated back. According to the general procedure, today's morning court is over, because it seems that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and these ministers and Xiaochaohui have basically not played anything.

Zhao Fei was also about to get up and leave. He had found out from the little stool yesterday that his emperor was just a decoration, and there was basically nothing he needed to deal with.

However, today's court meeting showed some strangeness from Zhao Fei's unresponsiveness. After Mr. An finished singing, a rather strong man stood up and said respectfully: "I have this performance!"

Immediately, not only Zhao Fei looked at this man, but almost everyone in the hall looked at him. This man was not afraid at all, he just lowered his head and held a memorial in his hand.

Zhao Fei took a closer look. This man was standing in the middle of the hall. He was about 40 years old. Looking at the color of his clothes, he was a second-rank civil servant. Think about the list of court officials who went to make up for it last night. , Zhao Fei vaguely remembered this person's name.

Just what is he going to play?Zhao Fei was curious for a moment.

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Fei coughed twice, all eyes in the hall disappeared immediately, Zhao Fei said lightly, "I don't know what Aiqing wants to play."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are two things I want to report." The man said respectfully, and at the same time gently passed the memorial in his hand forward.

Zhao Fei could see this movement clearly, but Zhao Fei didn't know what it meant, but what followed this movement was the inquiring gaze of Eunuch An beside him.

Zhao Fei didn't know what the eunuch wanted to ask, but it must have something to do with the action of the person under the steps, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing Zhao Fei nodding, Eunuch An immediately raised his legs and walked down the steps, walked to a certain man, took the memorial, turned around and walked back.

Zhao Fei's ears were sharp, and although he heard it vaguely, it was indeed the word in his memory, and his eyes were even more strange.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch An handed the memorial to Zhao Fei. Zhao Fei took the memorial, opened it casually, and flipped through it casually, but his eyes were stunned.

With the memorial, Zhao Fei looked around the hall, and said: "I think all the ministers are very strange, what is the matter that Mr. Sha initiated, if this is the case, then let Mr. Sha talk about it himself."

Sha Huwei, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, since the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is currently recuperating at home, he will handle the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Most people throw their pens into the army, but Sha Huwei abandons his sword and joins the literature. Before he joined the literature, he was a fifth-rank general in the army. Among them, compared with ordinary ministers, they are much stronger.

However, this person has always been low-key, keeping a low profile, and the Ministry of Industry ranks at the bottom among the six ministries, under the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment. Therefore, Sha Huwei is quite a non-existent figure among the court officials. .

It's just that today everything seems different.

Sha Huwei was not afraid of all kinds of probing eyes in the hall, he rationalized his thoughts in his mind, and said loudly: "The first thing I will play today is that there are hungry people everywhere in Hebei Road. I ask your majesty to allow you to open the warehouse and release it." grain!"

As Sha Huwei's voice fell, the originally quiet ministers from all walks of life suddenly had different expressions, and some even shouted loudly.

Cough cough cough...

Zhao Fei watched the ministers in the court hall arguing for a while, and after listening for a while, he really couldn't understand what these people were talking about, and he couldn't even figure out where the Hebei Road was, so he was a bit confused. Helplessly coughed twice.

As soon as Zhao Fei coughed, Eunuch An immediately stood up, and his high-pitched voice sounded instantly, suppressing all the voices in the hall.

"Silent! What are you adults trying to do by making such a loud noise in Tongzheng Hall?"

As soon as Eunuch An's words fell, a large crowd knelt down in the court hall, and many ministers shouted at the same time: "Your majesty please punish me for making noise in the Tongzheng Hall!"

Uh……

You all said that, how can I have the nerve to punish you?

Zhao Fei glanced at the hall boredly, and said with a smile: "All ministers, please stand up, I forgive you for your innocence!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

A hundred flies flew by Zhao Fei's ears, and Zhao Fei watched the ministers standing up one by one. After all the adults stood up, Zhao Fei said again: "My fellow ministers, I am also a little curious about what Lord Sha said, why don't I listen to what Lord Sha said with all the ministers!"

"Follow Your Majesty's order!"

The members of the hall looked at me and I looked at you for a long time, and finally spoke in unison.
