Jiahe nodded, and Yan Shiyue thought to herself that this is the normal direction of the koi spirit! So she nodded with satisfaction and said to him: "Go and ask Aye for a girl you don't know, and let's make good use of it.
"
Jiahe left as ordered, and Huo Qijing asked: "A spy from Mobei?"
"Wow!" Yan Shiyue said, "Why are you so smart and you can guess right?"
Huo Qijing said, "That's what I heard." He glanced at her and said, "No matter how close you are, I can still hear it, so don't talk so close next time."
Yan Shiyue smiled and gave him a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs: "I know!"
The courtyard where Huang Mingxiao lived was very large, very close to Deshan Garden, and was considered a gathering place for literati.
But Huang Mingxiao wanted to save face, but Lizi couldn't hold it up. Later, he had to divide the yard into four parts and hired tenants in each, euphemistically saying that he could make friends all over the world. One of them, whose pseudonym was Zhou Bei, was a spy from Mobei Kingdom.
Huang Mingxiao looks like a typical straight male cancer in behavior, or you can call her a fan. In short, he loves her deeply for a woman who makes trouble every day and dares to be the prime minister. Whenever she has the opportunity, she will do all kinds of things.
To criticize, you must know that this is not in modern times. Talking about the royal family is really tantamount to trying to blackmail her.
Maybe it was because he wanted to hack her, so he knew everything about her, so he attracted the attention of the spies? After all, Bingqi's business was done in her name at that time, and the people in Mobei must be very curious about her.
Emperor Ming Yan quickly sent over two girls to pretend to be the master's servants, and then said, "Stop jumping around, come to court when you're done."
Although I don't know why Emperor Ming Yan changed his mind, it is necessary to make an appearance. He must go there every year or two.
Yan Shiyue immediately asked Huo Qijing: "Will you go to court tomorrow?"
Huo Qijing did not need to go to court, but in order to accompany her, he still nodded: "Okay."
Yan Shiyue spent half the night teaching the two girls face-to-face instructions. Unlike Emperor Yan of Ming Dynasty, who just said one sentence and pointed in one main direction, she here wanted to teach every word about this kind of thing.
Then someone will arrange what you need.
After sending away the two girls, Yan Shiyue took the court officials' information and got familiar with it. If you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!
The next day, Yan Shiyue got up very early.
The official robe of Prime Minister Dayan is a purple robe with gold and jade belt. It has been prepared and sent over a long time ago.
Yan Shiyue was so handsome that she walked out as if she didn't recognize her relatives, and she also talked smoothly. She said to Huo Qijing: "Little general, come here, come here, give me a smile."
Huo Qijing sat on the horse, looked down at her, and then gave her a smile. She crossed her waist and continued to dance without knowing whether to live or die: "No, the smile is too shallow. Give her another smile."
He smiled at her again, then moved his horse slightly, picked her up by the collar of her coat and threw her into the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "Master, be careful not to miss the morning meeting."
Yan Shiyue held the car with one hand, still wanting to play some more.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Yan Chengyuan and his group standing quietly behind them. He didn't know how long they had been standing there... Yan Shiyue's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly called her daddy and quickly got into the car.
After a while, Yan Shirui came in and said with a smile: "Master Prime Minister, why don't I give you a smile as well?"
"No need," Yan Shiyue said seriously, "I won't accept this!"
Yan Shirui laughed for a long time, and then said: "Has anyone told you about the rules of the court meeting? Although the emperor will not argue with you, but it is your first time to go, so it is better not to make mistakes in small details. There are a lot of censors waiting to attend your court meeting.
The appearance is not neat!"
Yan Shiyue is really a bit funny.
Yan Shirui has such a worrying temper! She said: "Second brother, don't worry! I've been studying for two days!"
Yan Shirui couldn't rest assured, so he talked to her in detail.
Dayan held a court meeting every ten days. In normal times, officials below the third rank attended the court on the first or fifth day. In addition, the prime minister, cabinet, supervisory censor, Dr. Taichang, etc. attended the court every day and were called regular officials.
When they arrived at the palace, civil and military officials arrived one after another. When they saw that this person was here, they immediately looked at each other.
Yan Shiyue was holding Yan Chengyuan's sleeve and talking. When he saw Xu Mingxiu coming, he immediately loosened his father's sleeve, straightened his robe, stepped forward to salute and thank him, and asked him when he would be free to visit him.
Because, how should I put it, although Emperor Ming Yan had long wanted to invite her to the court, nominally speaking, she was recommended by Prime Minister Xu. This was the kindness of knowing and appreciating her.
Xu Mingxiu smiled and said a few words of humility, saying that he did not dare to take credit and politely declined her visit.
When the drums beat together and the time has come, everyone enters the hall one by one and ranks in court.
When Dayan went to court, the civil servants were on the left, and the military officers were on the right. She was the prime minister and a princess, so she could have stood behind the prince, but before the prince came to court, it was like she was standing at the front of the queue, and she couldn't even imitate him.
But she held the wat board calmly and didn't look nervous at all.
When Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty arrived, he had his own rituals to direct the salutes: "Qi", "Bow", "Bow again", "Xing"...
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty looked at the little girl sitting next to him with a solemn expression. Every move he made was measured by the ruler to the same standard.
After the ceremony, a limited number of ministers were given seats, and then the discussion began. The officials below reported one after another, and no one asked her opinion. Yan Shiyue only had to stand straight and listen.
Then, after finishing the political affairs, he retired from the morning court.
Is this the end? She watched her father, brother, and husband walk away one after another, each of them only gave her a look... her father didn't even give her a look.
Then Xu Mingxiu raised his hand: "Your Highness, please."
Yan Shiyue was a little confused and followed him with a calm face.
I don’t know if Emperor Ming Yan wanted her to develop a relationship with her colleagues, but he didn’t invite her in for dinner. She could only follow Xu Mingxiu and the others to eat "food on the porch".
This verandah meal is really eaten on the veranda. There are no chairs, only futons. You sit and eat with the breeze blowing. It is almost the same as open air. Because it is cold, everyone is given a bowl of millet. This is a kind of relaxation.
She doesn't like to eat meat soup that contains millet.
Don't eat it, everything else is cold.
Moreover, the etiquette of this meal is very strict. If you say a wrong word or make an incorrect move, you will be caught and impeached by the censor. Isn't this a punishment for eating?
It was really difficult to be a civil servant in ancient times.
After dinner, we have to go to the political hall to discuss matters, which is equivalent to the prime minister's office.
The previous dynasty did not have a prime minister, but this dynasty has a left prime minister and a right prime minister.
Nowadays, the position of left prime minister is vacant. It stands to reason that there are only two prime ministers, Yan Shiyue and Xu Mingxiu. However, the three ministers, three divisions, Zhongshu Ling, and officials with the title of "Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi" can all be regarded as
All prime ministers can enter the political hall.
Yan Shiyue took a quick look and saw that there were actually eleven people, including twelve of hers, which was a lot.
Moreover, the political hall is not like a main hall as she thought, but a circle of rooms, square and square, giving it the feeling of a courtyard. Each has its own separate office of different sizes, and of course there are also centralized meetings for discussion.
place.
Everyone entered the political hall and had their first friendly exchange. (To be continued)
