Emperor's Stand-in: My physique improves a little bit every day

"Go to court?"

Lu Changjing couldn't help being stunned when he heard Cao Wenzheng asking him to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow.

Immediately, hesitant expression appeared on his face: "Master Cao, I have only just understood the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty. I only have a general understanding of the affairs inside and outside the court, and many things are not done well."

"All the important officials in the imperial court are basically masters at the level of pulse casting. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?"

"Our family also wants you to prepare for a while, but no one gives us this time." Cao Wenzheng was also a little helpless: "So far, His Majesty has not been in court for several months. It can be said that it is a rest period since he ascended the throne. The longest time, I can’t delay it any longer.”

"In addition, the rumors about His Majesty under house arrest in our family have become more and more intense during this period. The only way to break these rumors is to go to court. Do you think our family wants you to go to court so soon?"

Seeing Cao Wenzheng's sad face, Lu Changjing didn't know what to say.

"So this time you have to go up or down, and you can't make any mistakes, otherwise we will both be doomed."

Cao Wenzheng casually gave Lu Changjing another burst of energy from the air and warned him seriously.

What else can Lu Changjing do? He can only ensure that he can get through this difficulty. He will have to go through it sooner or later anyway.

Fortunately, according to what Cao Wenzheng said, Ning Zhongyu had not cared much about government affairs in recent years, and his understanding of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and many affairs was probably not as good as that of Lu Changjing.

This also gave him a little more confidence. Under Cao Wenzheng's surprise teaching, he had a more detailed understanding of the previous dynasty.

He had learned the process of going to court before, and now he was reviewing the past and learning something new.

The two of them taught and studied for several hours without realizing it. It was almost the time of the next day, and it was time to prepare for going to court.

Not only Lu Changjing, the fake emperor, was making preparations, but also many civil and military ministers in Baiyu Capital who were qualified to go to court.

Get dressed up, enjoy some breakfast, or ride a horse or a sedan... and rush towards the palace.

After arriving at the palace, you cannot go to court immediately. Instead, you have to wait outside the Meridian Gate. At Mao hour, a eunuch will come to roll your name and sign in.

After that, they lined up to enter the palace. The ministers lined up in order according to their official positions, with civilian officials on the left and military attachés on the right. It was orderly and no one was making any noise.

Lu Changjing was also fully dressed at the moment, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, brocade robe, and a dragon crown on his head.

The bright yellow robe is embroidered with the pattern of dragons rising from the sea. Under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, the sleeves are blown up by the wind.

Dozens of eunuchs, imperial guards, palace maids... followed, guarding Lu Changjing's dragon chariot like stars over the moon.

Wherever you pass along the way, you can see the carved beams and painted buildings and the majesty of the palace, which makes people awe-inspiring.

Soon we arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, also known as the Jinluan Hall among the people.

The main hall is nearly a hundred meters high and covers an area of ​​several thousand square meters. It is the largest hall in the entire palace.

The decoration here is extremely luxurious, with dense dougongs under the eaves, and colorful paintings of Hexi on the beams and beams both indoors and outdoors.

The upper parts of the doors and windows are inlaid with diamond patterns, the lower parts are embossed with cloud and dragon patterns, and the joints are decorated with gilt copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns.

The floor of the hall is paved with gold bricks, and there is a throne in the open room. On both sides of the throne are six huge pillars with gold-plated cloud and dragon patterns. The gold foil is applied in two colors, dark and light, to make the pattern stand out and distinct.

There are four pairs of furnishings on both sides of the throne: Baoxiang, Luduan, Crane and Incense Pavilion.

The treasure elephant symbolizes the stability of the country and the consolidation of political power; the Luduan is a legendary auspicious animal; the crane symbolizes longevity; and the incense pavilion symbolizes the stability of the country.

Above the throne, in the center of the ceiling, there is a caisson shaped like an umbrella with an upward bulge. In the center of the caisson is a giant dragon lying on its back, with its head reaching down and holding a pearl in its mouth.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Lu Changjing was also a little scared. After all, he had never experienced anything like this before.

In his previous life, he was just a 9-to-9 migrant worker. He had never experienced anything like this.

Fortunately, there is a golden finger to support him, so that he has enough confidence to face anyone.

Accompanied by the sound of singing "Nai", ministers slowly walked into the Jinluan Hall one by one, solemnly and majestic.

Headed by the Three Dukes, all the ministers lined up in order, each wearing gorgeous court clothes and crowns, demonstrating their status and authority.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Soon, all the courtiers fell down to worship Lu Changjing.

Cao Wenzheng was standing next to him, his face full of solemnity, and he did not show any panic.

"Everyone, I love you!"

Lu Changjing asked Manchao Wenwu to stand up, and his mood gradually calmed down, no longer as nervous as before.

As long as you get through the initial difficulties and no abnormalities are discovered, it will be much easier later on.

When all the courtiers stood up, Cao Wenzheng shouted loudly: "If there is something to do, go to court, if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a burly minister with thick eyebrows and a square face walking out of the crowd.

"My lord, Wei Shanggang, I have this memorial!"

It was Wang Zha at the beginning. Lu Changjing was speechless and glanced at Cao Wenzheng.

A few days ago, Cao Wenzheng said that the matter of Wei Shanggang had been dealt with and told him to shut up. Unexpectedly, the first time he went to court, the admonishing doctor popped up again.

Cao Wenzheng's face was also a little ugly, and he stared at Wei Shanggang a little sinisterly.

Wei Shanggang ignored Cao Wenzheng at all. After saluting, he said loudly: "Many places in the southwest are in emergency again. The mountain barbarians have looted supplies and suffered heavy casualties in various places. I also ask your majesty to send troops to attack. We, the Daning Dynasty, can no longer retreat."

Sure enough, because of this incident, Lu Changjing glanced at the ministers and found that many ministers also showed dissatisfaction.

Obviously, they did not agree to go to war with the Shanman tribe. The Daning Dynasty has not been stable in recent years, and there have been natural disasters and man-made disasters. If they go to war with the Shanman tribe again, it is still unknown whether they can bear it.

But everyone's life will definitely not be easy, especially those military generals. The Fulong Mountains where the Shanman tribe is located is not a good place.

So as soon as Wei Shan finished speaking, the Minister of Rites came out to report.

"I think it is not possible. Now the domestic demons and ghosts are rampant, and the Song State and Zhao State are eyeing them covetously. If we go to war with the Shanman tribe at this time, it is very likely that these enemies will take advantage of the fire to rob."

"In addition, the Shanman tribe heard that your majesty was selecting a concubine, so they wanted to marry the saint to your majesty. The envoy will soon be able to reach Baiyujing. How can we go to war with the Shanman tribe at this time."

Hearing this news, all the civil and military officials in the court were surprised and looked at the Minister of Rites.

Lu Changjing was also surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise during this court session. Isn't it said that the Shanman tribe has always been arrogant and looked down on the Daning Dynasty? Why did they suddenly want to marry their own saint to him?

Did they encounter something, or did they suddenly wake up, or was there another reason?
