At midnight the next morning, the long-awaited morning bell rang. The roaring sound of the morning bell spread from inside the palace to outside the palace. Everyone who heard it in the market stopped and listened.
In front of the Daqing Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered here. Everyone put on brand-new official uniforms and armor from the bottom of the box to welcome this grand morning meeting. In the minds of many people, this is the first time since Guo Xu seized the throne.
, the most significant court meeting since Lu Zhongtian usurped the country, it was a great time for the new emperor to bring order to the chaos and clear the clouds, so they had to dress up grandly to show their celebration and attention.
The people participating in the morning court today were not only civil and military officials in the Luoyan Army, but also many old ministers who were dormant in the capital. Some of them were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned by Lu Zhongtian and had just been rescued. Some were dissatisfied with Lu Zhongtian's actions and refused to join in the conspiracy, so they resigned.
The people in the crowd who were hiding behind closed doors at home seemed even more excited and looking forward to it.
Civil and military officials stood in a row, all smiling, talking and laughing.
When the morning bell rang for the second time, the rumble of horse hoofbeats came from the Daqing Gate. A moment later, dozens of horses galloped over. The horses were tall, and the knights on them were full of energy and majestic weapons.
"Marshal Lin is here!" the guard standing at the entrance of the square shouted loudly, and at the same time raised his arms and saluted.
Following this noise, the noise in the square instantly became quiet. All civil and military officials turned their attention to the figure who was getting off his horse at the entrance of the square. Everyone's eyes showed respect.
Lin Jue turned over and dismounted, adjusted his brand new black armor, glanced at the many pairs of eyes projected on the square, smiled and nodded, and strode forward. The red necklace on his helmet danced like flames, and the purple-red cloak behind him
Hunting in the morning breeze. The whole person is heroic, handsome and handsome.
For the Luoyan Army, there is no doubt that Lin Jue exists like a god in their minds. But for many people in the square, Lin Jue is just a legend to them. Lin Jue was the top pick in high school.
, his articles and poems were unparalleled, and he quickly rose to the position of the third envoy, which indeed made him quite famous in the capital. However, the officials in the DPRK and the central government would never leave the capital with this person and the later one.
, who founded the Luoyan Army and led the army to fight back. If Lin Jue's talents before were limited to literary talents, this Lin Jue in front of him was unfamiliar. Especially when he saw the young and handsome figure in front of him, it was even more...
It is difficult to reconcile the past and impressions with the impressions of the present.
However, the respectful attitude shown by the surrounding Luoyan Army generals and most of the officials at the moment Lin Jue arrived said everything. The man in front of him was the one who single-handedly turned things around and completed the impossible task.
Lin Jue walked through the eyes of everyone, quickly walked up the steps in front of the main hall, and stood in front of the queue of civil and military officials. As the third morning bell rang, the heavy door of the Daqing Hall above opened at ten
With the joint efforts of several chamberlains, it rumblingly opened. The sunlight shone into the smooth rocky floor of the hall, and the light was reflected in, making the dim and dark hall instantly brighter.
"Invite... all... officials... to go to the... palace... to attend... a meeting!" A middle-aged chamberlain stood on the steps in front of the palace, looking up at the sky and shouting loudly, and the sharp and loud voice spread throughout the whole place.
a square.
Under the leadership of Lin Jue, the officials walked up the steps. There was no drum music, no silk and bamboo, and the chaotic footsteps were drum music and silk and bamboo. Their footsteps were very steady, and they used such footsteps to walk out of Funiu Mountain and set foot on the battlefield.
At this moment, I finally used the same steps to enter the room, and stepped into the palace of Zhou Dynasty, which symbolizes the supreme power.
The Daqing Hall is the main hall with the highest status in the Zhou Dynasty palace. It is generally not officially opened, except for extremely important occasions such as sacrificial ceremonies, enthronement ceremonies, and the emperor's wedding. Because of this, Lu Zhongtian deliberately avoided it when he ascended the throne.
After opening Daqing Hall, he chose Chongzheng Hall. Perhaps because Daqing Hall represents the true orthodox position of the Zhou Dynasty, Lu Zhongtian did not want to inherit the orthodoxy belonging to the Guo family, so he chose Chongzheng Hall. But today
, Daqing Hall reopened and ushered in its new owner.
The ministers entered the class and stood still. During the singing, Guo Kun got on the throne with a smile on his face. The ministers saluted and knelt down, shouted long live and bowed before him. Guo Kun sat on the throne, looking at the scene of the ministers prostrating in front of him, his eyes filled with emotion.
It's moist. Although there are many imperfections, for example, in order to save money, the formal enthronement ceremony was greatly simplified to today's early morning court, and there are no many ceremonial guards and drums to highlight it. Another example is the dragon chair under the buttocks.
The throne of the Zichen Palace that was temporarily moved had to be temporarily replaced because the most magnificent throne had been burned to ashes by Lu Zhongtian. Another example is that among the people of His Highness, they do not actually respect themselves from the bottom of their hearts. One of them let himself
The uneasy person is at the bottom of the stairs. Although I am very afraid of him, I can't do anything to him for the time being. Wait, wait, there are many imperfections. However, these are not important at this moment. The most important thing is
Fortunately, he finally entered the capital from Funiu Mountain and sat in the supreme position of Daqing Palace. This is the reality that his father and son have dreamed of for many years. At this moment today, it is enough to not think about anything else. At this moment
That's the most important moment.
"Without courtesy, please stand down. All my dear friends, please rise." Guo Kun tried his best to speak in a calm voice, but his voice still trembled with excitement.
All the ministers stood up one after another. Guo Kun took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Come here, please give Lin Aiqing a seat."
It is a tradition in the Great Zhou Palace to be given a seat, which is the honor given by the emperor to the prime minister. Now that Lin Jue holds the three positions of prime minister, privy envoy, envoy, envoy, envoy, etc., he should naturally enjoy such an honor. This is both a tradition and a gesture.
.
"Today is my first real morning court, and I am very grateful and happy. I, the Zhou Dynasty, have gone through many hardships in the past few years and are on the verge of disintegration. Guo Xu conspired to usurp the throne, Lu Zhongtian rebelled against the traitors and sought the country, and there were external and internal troubles.
The chaos is endless. Today I can see the court in the Daqing Hall, but I never thought that this day would happen. All this depends on the bloodshed of loyal ministers and good generals, and the sacrifices of the soldiers. I thank them for everything they have done for me and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
These people are undoubtedly the meritorious ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I want to reward them well. I can give them everything I have, and nothing they ask for is too much. This is because God has blessed me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have been able to survive this crisis.
Difficulties. These loyal ministers and good generals are all people given to me by God. I will treat them well and cherish them well." Guo Kun said in a deep voice.
"God bless the Zhou Dynasty, God bless the Emperor. Your Majesty is a wise emperor!" Some of His Highness's ministers knelt down and knelt down and shouted.
Guo Kun sits on the throne
He smiled, stroked his beard and nodded, his heart filled with happiness.
The next step is to discuss merit and reward, which is also the highlight of today. The enthronement on the ten-mile long post was too hasty and unceremonious, and the weight of the imperial edict issued at that time was not the same as today. Therefore, it is necessary to start it again.
A reward was awarded. Moreover, under Lin Jue's suggestion, some official positions were also adjusted.
Not surprisingly, Lin Jue was appointed Prime Minister and Privy Councilor, and was given the title of Prince of Anguo County. This was already the highest title for someone with a different surname. Lin Jue had known about this for a long time, and was not surprised by it.
.In fact, Lin Jue's heart was calm. After what happened yesterday, Lin Jue would no longer feel any gratitude towards Guo Kun for any good gestures. What's more, Lin Jue deserved all of this.
The wives of the Lin family also had their own awards. Several of Lin Jue's wives were all granted the title of baroness. In addition to the princess's status as princess, Guo Kun did not forget that Lu Wu was actually a princess. He awarded Lu Wu Anguo.
The name of the princess seems to echo Lin Jue's Anguo County Prince. It can be regarded as making up for the inconvenience of Lu Wu being a princess but being Lin Jue's concubine. At the same time, it also protects her sister's status as the real princess. It is quite deliberate.
Of course, Lin Jue's children were also given titles. The eldest son, Lin Zhan, was a legitimate son and was born to his first wife, and was made a marquis. The other two sons were given a lower title.
The only surprising thing is that the post of Third Secretary was awarded to Yang Xiu, which was actually requested by Lin Jue. Yang Xiu was quite capable in financial management and logistics, and Lin Jue thought he was qualified, so he decided to recommend him.
Third Secretary. This can not only reduce one's own burden, but also ensure that the financial power is in one's own hands.
In addition, following the old system, the Luoyan Army was the forbidden army of the imperial court. Ma Bin served as the commander of the imperial army and concurrently served as the deputy privy envoy. Shen Tan and Ma Qingshan were appointed as the deputy commander of the capital. Sun Wanchun was appointed as the deputy privy envoy and the deputy privy envoy of the imperial army.
He still holds the post of commander of the Northwest Army. The commander of the Guards and Horses Division is concurrently held by Ma Qingshan, and the Guards Infantry Division is held by Liang Qi. An additional 5,000 soldiers and horses are transferred to set up the Palace Front Division, and the commanders are
Shen Tan served as deputy commander, and Huang Jiang was promoted to serve as deputy commander in accordance with Guo Kun's request.
The Zhengshitang established two deputy prime ministers, Zhang Hanqiu and another veteran minister in the capital, Chen Zhiliang, respectively. Official positions such as deputy envoys to the third division were also promoted and appointed from ministers with meritorious service. After this round of awards, almost everyone in the Luoyan Army was
Those who hold high positions and important positions are each given titles and rewards.
Next came the formal deliberation. Things that urgently needed to be solved were laid out one by one. Lin Jue presided over the solutions one by one. Those who needed to issue decrees were issued immediately, and those that needed to be implemented were immediately implemented and the responsibilities were assigned to the person to solve them.
This morning court lasted for a long time. When the last thing was agreed upon and everyone left the hall, they realized that it was already noon. For the generals of the Luoyan Army, this was much more tiring than fighting, but everyone
Everyone has a feeling that this way of discussing matters gives people a sense of fulfillment and participation. In fact, almost everything is decided by civil and military officials. However, Emperor Guo Kun only issued an edict after deliberation.
Guo Kun himself did avoid making decisions on these matters. He knew how much he weighed. At such a critical moment, it was better not to interfere in these important matters. He did not feel at all that during the entire discussion process, he actually
He didn't make any key decisions at all. He just indulged in the vanity that finally required his decree to be implemented.
