Chapter 137, this advertisement is absolutely dead
This morning, no one seemed to be thinking too much, and there were very few things going on. That is, the little prince recently went south again to seize the border and looted the country. The princes of the court spent some time discussing the response strategy. In less than an hour,
By the time, the morning session was over.
Emperor Hongzhi was diligent in government affairs. The morning court was open every day, there was an evening court in the afternoon, and sometimes there was a noon court at noon. There were endless meetings all day long. The things that needed to be discussed in the morning court every day were not too big.
And everyone knows that this meeting with many people is not important. Important meetings do not have many people. Basically, many major events were held by Emperor Hongzhi alone summoning cabinet ministers and six ministers to discuss them. This was just a formality in many cases in the early dynasty.
After all, there are meetings every day, at least twice a day, sometimes three times. There is not so much to talk about. Sometimes, in order to express their presence, these officials will often argue for a long time about trivial matters.
For example, when Emperor Hongzhi walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, such trivial matters as whether he should enter with his left foot or his right foot first could be debated endlessly and even lead to heated discussions.
On the contrary, when it comes to some truly major issues, such as the financial difficulties of the imperial court, the emptiness of the treasury, the depletion of armaments, and the difficulties of the border troops, there are very few of these courtiers, and few people bring it up. Even if someone does, they basically don't.
Are there any substantive and useful measures?
Although the Hongzhi Dynasty was revived, it was actually only because Emperor Hongzhi was too kind to the literati and officials. These literati and officials blew it out. If the fig leaf of ZTE was lifted, the Ming Dynasty was already full of ills, various problems and contradictions.
It's already quite serious, but I can still hold on to it now, so I still seem to be doing well.
After the morning court, the ministers exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another. They all wanted to take a look at the mirror they had just seen when they went to the morning court. However, this mirror was not placed at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but was allowed to show up by Zhu Houzhao.
People moved to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The square is very spacious, which is suitable for everyone to gather together and discuss something with each other. After all, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is a place for discussing national affairs, and it is relatively small at the entrance, so it is not suitable for everyone to gather together.
In addition to the two full-length mirrors just at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Houzhao also had the remaining five full-length mirrors moved over and placed them in the square at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Tsk, tsk, I'm still smart, the effect of this advertisement is absolutely useless."
On a wall around the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Houzhao held a telescope and looked at the many ministers gathered in front of the full-length mirror in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and he also laughed happily.
"His Royal Highness is wise, mighty, and has fantastic ideas. He is truly admirable."
Next to Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin took the opportunity to flatter him fiercely. He served Zhu Houzhao, but he had already figured out Zhu Houzhao's temper. To flatter Zhu Houzhao must be done when he is in a good mood, not when he is in a bad mood.
when.
"Hmm~"
"However, it's useless for you bitch to be so impressed with me. But if Liu Jin knew that I was advertising like this, he would probably be so impressed."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, and he was in a pretty good mood, but now his vision has become higher. Liu Jin can no longer look down on him. Now he wants to hear Liu Jin pat him on the back. In his eyes, Liu Jin is the only one.
He is a capable person.
In the square outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, many ministers gathered in front of full-length mirrors.
"This mirror is so clear, every detail is revealed!"
Li Dongyang looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but admired.
"It's indeed very clear. What's even more rare is that the mirror is so big, which is very rare."
"Well, after a few decades, it turns out that I have already had gray hair."
Liu Jian nodded, then looked at himself in the mirror and sighed.
"Liu Gong, I am an old man with ambitions for thousands of miles. In his old age, a martyr, his ambitions are endless. During the period of contraction, not only in heaven, but also in heaven, he can enjoy the blessing of eternal life. How lucky he is!"
Xie Qian smiled and said, his eyes also looking at this mirror. This full-length mirror is big enough for the three of them to be clearly reflected. However, since everyone has their own identity, they naturally behave no differently from usual outside.
.
In fact, I really want to have a mirror like this. I can go back to my home and take a good look at myself. I have never seen my face so clearly.
On the other side, the British Duke Zhang Mao, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu and other nobles also gathered in front of a mirror.
"I turned out to be quite brave~"
The young Zhang Mao stroked his beard in front of the mirror and said narcissistically.
They are military commanders and nobles, relying on the iron rice bowl won by their ancestors. As long as they do not rebel or rebel, this glory and wealth can be passed down from generation to generation, so each of them is relatively free and uninhibited.
"The Duke of Guo is naturally very brave. His eyes are like tiger's eyes. Just glaring at them can make people tremble with fear. This heroic face makes people know how brave the Duke of Guo is at a glance..."
"That's right, that's right, the Duke of the country is always strong and mighty."
Around Zhang Mao, some other nobles also flattered him. The relationship between these nobles was not bad, because the Ming Dynasty was different from other dynasties.
These nobles have nothing but glory and wealth. This power is all in the hands of civil servants. The emperor is very relieved about these nobles.
But the civil servants are worried and will always find ways to suppress these nobles. Naturally, these nobles will unite to protect their own interests. They have already been intertwined with each other through marriage, forming a huge noble group and interests.
As a community, everyone’s relationship is very good.
Listening to the compliments from people around him, Zhang Mao smiled and stroked his beard, and looked at the mirror carefully. He was also thinking about buying a few mirrors like this back home so that he could slowly appreciate himself at home.
of dignified appearance.
"Where can I buy this mirror?"
"I don't know either. I've never seen a mirror like this before."
"Hurry up and find someone to ask, find out why you should have a few mirrors like this at home."
"Yes, yes, my daughter is getting married just now. I think it would be nice to have a mirror like this as a dowry."
"..."
In the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, many ministers were studying the mirrors, seeing themselves so clearly for the first time. Many people wished they had such a mirror at home, so that they could take a closer look.
