Chapter 210: On the day of the great dynasty meeting, Zhao Shen comes to the dynasty
"Then how do you think we should operate?" Shi Hao asked.
Shen Tang smiled faintly, "Show weakness!"
Shi Hao and other big shots stayed in Zhang Mansion for half a day and one night, and then quietly dispersed until the early morning of the next day. Although, in their eyes, Shen Tang, a young man, was still not trustworthy, but after After Shen Tang's verbal battle, they finally decided to follow Shen Tang's steps...
Two days passed by in a flash, and soon it was the day of the imperial meeting.
Compared with other dynasties, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were relatively diligent, especially Zhao Shen, who had just come to power. He never failed to attend court every day. However, on weekdays, there were only officials of fourth rank or above in the court. You can participate. After all, compared to the complicated bureaucracy of the Song Dynasty, the main hall of the Shang Dynasty was obviously much smaller.
Lin'an's inner city is naturally far different from Bianliang, which has been preserved for generations. However, it is located on Fenghuang Mountain, which makes it quite luxurious and magnificent.
There are four gates, namely the main south gate, Li Zhengmen, North Gate, Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate. After entering Li Zhengmen, there is the main hall, named 'Daqing Hall'. Of course, because the overall internal layout is small Therefore, it is extremely normal for one hall to have multiple uses. For example, the Daqing Hall can also be called "Wende", "Jiying" and other names according to different functions. To the north of the Daqing Hall is the Chui Gong Hall, which is The place where the emperor lived. In addition, there are Yanhe, Chongzheng, Funing, Fuxu and other halls as well as Tianzhang and Baorui pavilions in the palace.
The Empress Dowager lives in the Kunning Hall, the Empress lives in the Hening Hall, and so on.
There is not much difference between the so-called large and small court gatherings, only the people who participate are different. Ordinary court gatherings are attended by senior officials of the fourth rank and above, while large court gatherings involve a lot of people, such as living ministers and living room attendants. People can also go to court to pay homage to the emperor. Therefore, this also makes the large court gathering very large, with a total number of dozens of people.
Outside the main gate of Li, there is a hall for waiting for the leak. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was very considerate of his ministers, because going to court at three o'clock in the morning was equivalent to about four o'clock in the morning. Therefore, all the courtiers needed to get up and go to court around three o'clock in the morning. Go inside the palace. However, outside the palace gate, you need to wait for the time and summons before you can enter. Therefore, the emperor ordered that the waiting courtyard be built so that the courtiers who arrived early could rest in it.
Today is the day of the dynasty, so although the sky is still dark, many courtiers have gathered outside the palace gate. Some are waiting quietly, and some are whispering. However, those who can enter the courtyard are also Basically, they are all big guys.
"Crunch..."
With a slight knock, the palace door opened!
"Go to court!"
As this erratic voice sounded, Shi Hao and several other top figures in the court walked out of the waiting courtyard, and then walked towards the palace gate. Other courtiers also filed in according to their own ranks.
After entering the Li Zhengmen, walking forward, you will see the Daqing Hall soon. Some lower-ranking officials stayed directly outside the Daqing Hall, while the rest of the officials entered it.
Under the throne, there are several chamberlains standing bowed on the left and right sides. Behind the chamberlains, there are also several chamberlains, palace envoys, etc. The officials who are sleeping are standing behind the chamberlains on the left side. The emperor faces south, on the left It means going up to the east, and the right means going down to the west. Therefore, the order on the left is for the living officials, followed by the prime ministers, and the corresponding position on the right is for the prince.
After the prime minister, there is the bachelor's class, which is not large in number, just a few people. After the bachelor's class, there are the officials of the Menxia Province and the officials of the Yushitai. On the opposite side, on the right are the officials of the Zhongshu Province and the officials of the Yushitai. However, the two groups of people stood opposite each other, facing east and west. After that, the civil servants on the left were arranged according to their grades, and the military generals on the right were arranged according to their grades.
No one came to the prince's position, and the only powerful prime ministers were Shi Hao and Chen Kangbai. They each stood holding a jade tablet with their eyes closed.
This wat board is about one and a half feet long and less than two inches wide. It is generally used to record some important things. Moreover, when the emperor is out on duty, the wat board is in front, blocking his eyes from looking at the emperor, which can also be regarded as a sign of respect for the emperor. The emperor's respect.
At this moment, dozens of people were waiting in the Daqing Hall, but there was silence! After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a slightly sharp voice came.
"The Holy One has arrived!"
Then, a slightly thin middle-aged man stepped forward. This was the new emperor Zhao Shen. At this moment, he was wearing a cirrus crown, a crimson gauze robe, and black boots, and he looked somewhat heroic. Extraordinary.
Zhao Shen sat on the throne, and all the ministers below bowed and bowed: "See you, Your Majesty." Zhao Shen glanced down with a majestic face, without any emotion or anger on his face.
Although only half of the Southern Song Dynasty is left, things are naturally complicated in such a large country. Therefore, there will naturally be no such thing as "asking for memorials if you have the power, but retreating if you have no power". Therefore, the subordinates of each class listed below, That is to tell Zhao Shen everything that has been prepared. However, most of the time, Zhao Shen would not express his position and would only say a few words occasionally.
Mr. Ling and Ling talked about the matter for nearly an hour. After the three ministers finished their performance, the whole hall suddenly became quiet. Obviously, the things that needed to be reported have been finished. However, above the main hall, The atmosphere has become a bit more solemn. Because everyone knows that there is still a big event that has not yet begun.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Shen placed a memorial on Long's desk, and then said calmly: "This was written by Zhang Qing a few days ago. Regarding Yue Pengju's incident, what do you think?"
After the words fell, there was silence in the hall.
Of course Zhao Shen knew what these people were thinking, and he immediately sneered and said: "If the ministers have no objection, then just follow what Zhang Qing said?"
This time, some people could no longer remain silent.
"Your Majesty, no!" It must be said that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty did not have as much respect for the emperor as those in other dynasties. For example, the person in front of him was Fan Dehai, the censor Zhongcheng. When he went out to speak, there was even a bit of toughness in his words.
"Yue Pengju had already been convicted back then and executed by the Supreme Emperor's order. How could he be rehabilitated? It is natural that Yue Pengju had merit, but his merits are not worth his fault. Rehabilitation is of course nonsense!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Immediately, many courtiers came out and agreed with Fan Dehai's opinion.
"Wan Xuguang, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, please play your Majesty!" At this moment, Wan Xuguang suddenly left his job, bowed and saluted Zhao Shen and spoke.
In an instant, many people's eyes fell on Wan Xuguang. Everyone knew that Wan Xuguang was one of the core forces of the main war faction, and his words represented the meaning of the main war faction.
