I'm so hard

Chapter 160 Yuanri Grand Court Meeting ([-])

Boom!Boom!boom!
With the sound of fireworks exploding, Dazhou ushered in a new year: the third year of Longhe.

At this moment, the streets and alleys of Changdan City, teahouses and taverns are brightly lit, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers can be heard everywhere.

Almost all the people in the city are still awake.

Last year was a very special year for them.

There will be no famine, no disasters, and no exploitation. It will be a year of good weather and peace for the country and the people.

More importantly, they defeated Beimeng, the most powerful enemy of Dazhou.

The common people saw the growth of the Great Zhou, and saw that the Great Zhou would inevitably become more and more prosperous.

And Zhao Yan, Lu Nianwei and Queen Mother Zhang also kept vigil in the palace until midnight.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed for a while, and kept talking about Zhao Yan's goodness. If it weren't for Zhao Yan, the emperor who came out by accident, the great Zhou's country might have been over by now.

Because of this, Queen Mother Zhang also drank some wine, feeling very happy.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Zhang returned to her bedroom, while Zhao Yan and Lu Nianwei took the time to rest.

Today's court meeting is particularly important, so Zhao Yan must maintain sufficient energy.

At Yinshi, before the moon had completely set, the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty began to bathe and change clothes, and even had breakfast.

Dachaohui is a physical labor, at least three or four hours to stand.

At the time of Mao, they had to wear official uniforms and gather outside the imperial city, so the time was very tight. If they missed the important event of the court today because of snooze, it would be a serious crime.

At the same time, many scholars, businessmen and common people in Changdan City also got up one after another, and some of them even stayed up all night.

After dawn, a grand military exercise will be held outside the imperial city, such a big event, but all the people of the Great Zhou hope to witness this scene with their own eyes.

When approaching Mao, Zhao Yan got up. He was served by a group of people, wearing a crimson gauze robe, a crown of heaven on his head, and a large gold and jade belt around his waist.

Compared with last year, it is a little less immature, but a little more stable.

As an emperor, he is tired and happy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yan also carefully looked at the procedure list provided by Xiao Jingye. The etiquette in it was very cumbersome, and Zhao Yan had to remember it, otherwise it would be ridiculous.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Then came three loud bells.

Zhao Yan began to take the chariot to the gate of the imperial palace, and all civil and military officials, many missions, and soldiers preparing for military drills had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.

Most of the soldiers stayed up all night, because today's matter was too important, and they were as excited as the eve of their wedding night, excited all night.

The people of Changdan City are definitely the most lively group of people in Da Zhou. Before Mao Shi, the imperial street in front of the city gate was already crowded with water.

Those who climbed trees climbed trees, those who climbed walls climbed walls, and those who paid to hire people to sit on the shoulders of servants, and even those who paid high prices for seats.

In short, each showed his abilities, just to see today's military exercise.

As the sky was getting brighter, Zhao Yan appeared on the tall tower.

He looked around, and said to Shen Tuyi who was at the side: "Let's get started!"

Swish!
Shen Tuyi waved the Great Zhou Emperor's Flag, and waved it to the left and right.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The military drum sounded, knocking nine times in a row, each one was louder than the other, almost waking up the entire Changtan City.

Immediately afterwards, more than 100 civil servants headed by Xiao Jingye, wearing crimson official robes, walked over with strides.

Behind them are the representatives of the missions of the six countries and some tribes and countries. These people will also go up to the tower as representatives to watch the military exercise.

Xiao Jingye's eyes were full of embarrassment, and he walked forward with big strides.

When he walked under the city gate, he waved his big hand, and all the civil servants stopped immediately.

Zhao Yan was taken aback: Is there a program prepared?

"kneel!"

Xiao Jingye said loudly.

Immediately, Zhongshu Sheng, Yushitai, and civil representatives from the third department faced Zhao Yan and knelt down one after another.

"bye!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!
All the courtiers knelt down on the ground, pressed their left hands to their right hands, and began to kowtow, and kowtowed three times in a row, with slow and powerful movements, each time, their heads would hit the ground.

Then get up.

"kneel!"

More than a hundred civil servants knelt down again and began to bow their heads.

"This... this... is a three-kneeling and nine-kowtow ceremony!" some people exclaimed.

Kneeling three times and prostrating nine times is the most honorable etiquette in the Great Zhou etiquette. Generally, there are only three objects to face, namely heaven, earth, and saints.

To put it bluntly, this is the gift of a saint.

Even a king, unless he has a major achievement that is enough to leave his name for thousands of years, he will not be able to enjoy this kind of heavy gift.

The scholar-bureaucrats have the pride of the scholar-bureaucrats, and they apply the great ceremony of bowing down to Confucius, the most holy teacher, to Zhao Yan. It can be seen that they respect Zhao Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

Among the successive emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the first time when the founding emperor granted Zen, Zhao Yan was the second time.

This kind of gift is really too precious.

Zhao Yan, who was standing on the tower, couldn't help but blush, feeling that he couldn't afford it.

According to his seniority, he has only been on the throne for two years, so he can't enjoy this kind of supreme treatment like a saint.But he changed his mind again, in the past two years, he had almost completely changed the Great Zhou, just by defeating Beimeng, he was worthy of the title of King of Zhongxing.

After accepting this kind of worship, Zhao Yan can only roll up his sleeves and work hard, although the road ahead is still long and difficult.

Not far from the Imperial Street, a group of scholars and scholars who have not yet achieved fame are all excited. In their hearts, Zhao Yan can afford this kind of ritual of kneeling three times and knocking nine times.They only regret that they were not able to appear among the officials and participate in this grand event.

And the envoys behind were all surprised. From the eyes of the courtiers of the Great Zhou, they could see the respect these courtiers had for Zhao Yan and the unity of the courtiers of the Great Zhou. How could such a court not prosper? !

Park Yinan, the envoy of Goryeo, had a cold face. What he thought of was that the courtiers of Goryeo were divided into several factions, and they often quarreled and even fought in the court. Will always be in a corner!

He even thought, how great it would be if he were a courtier of Da Zhou!
Envy, even jealousy.

Behind the team, Yang Xinghuai, who was wearing armor and sitting on a horse, let out a long breath and murmured: "It's a good thing we have prepared a surprise for His Majesty, otherwise we would be outcompeted, these civil servants really have too many ideas! "

Soon, after three kneeling and nine knocking ceremony, more than a hundred civil servants and missions from various countries all boarded the tower.They will accompany Zhao Yan to watch how powerful Da Zhou's army is.

The people on the high corner of the street are also extremely excited, today's main dish is finally coming!
