Vol 2 Chapter 1154: New Year's Day Morning Assembly! (During)

? Entering the palace, I came to the square in front of the Tai Chi Palace, and I saw a crowd of black and overwhelming people. After a cursory sweep, the number of people was at least a thousand. Li Zexuan felt very happy because there were so many people in the Tai Chi Hall. At that time, there will be a group of officials standing outside, and he will touch the water in the muddy water by the way, and fall asleep behind him. Isn’t it unaware of it?
To be reasonable, he didn’t catch a cold at all during this Laoshizi Dachao meeting. Although he had never experienced it, he knew it with his for a while. It was nothing more than Li Er and Baiguan recalling the performance of the previous year and reflecting on his work. Shortcomings, look forward to what breakthroughs will be made in the new year, etc.
Anyway, Li Zexuan didn't like to listen to these empty-headed things.
"Yo! Yonganhou? What a coincidence!"
Just as Li Zexuan's eyes were rolling, a familiar voice came from behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was an old acquaintance!
"Wang Cishi! Have you come to Chang'an, too?"
Who else is this person who is not Wang Yu? When Wang Renbiao’s half-brother, Wang Renyi, the Huqishan bandit failed to kidnap Han Yuxi, Wang Yu went to Chang’an to apologize to Li Zexuan. Now that more than half a year has passed, Wang Yu’s appearance seems to be older, with white hair on both temples. .
"Haha! The old man has already arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, so don't be here in Yongan Hou unharmed in the near future!"
Wang Yu squinted his eyes and looked kind.
It's just that in his heart, it is not at all peaceful at the moment! After more than half a year, Li Zexuan has already made the leap from that little county man to Datang Guohou. Looking at the ruling and the opposition, no one dares to underestimate it! This is not the point, the point is that under Li Zexuan's secret operation, the Cui family actually collapsed like this!
That is the thousand-year-old family that even Wang Yu has to deal with carefully! It just fell like this?
This made Wang Yu couldn't help but secretly rejoice at his original view. If he had been completely at odds with Li Zexuan because of Wang Renyi's affairs, then before the Cui family fell, would their Wang family fall first?
After learning the news of Chang'an City, every time he thought of this, Wang Yu couldn't help but sweat from his back. It stands to reason that there is no rigid requirement that the governors of each state must come to Beijing in person at the annual Yuanri Dachao meeting, and only need to send an adjutant.
But Wang Yu chose to come in person this time. On the one hand, he wanted to further contact the royal family through his wife Tongan Princess; on the other hand, he wanted to use Wang Renbiao to deepen the friendship between the two families with Li Zexuan.
At such an age and with such strength, Wang Yu has no reason to be an enemy!
Since some people cannot be enemies with them, then be friends with them!
Unlike other members of the proud family, Wang Yu understands the current situation of the Wang family very well, so he can always make the most correct choice.
"Hehe! Everything is fine for the younger generation, I wonder if Wang Cishi is fine in Suizhou?"
As the saying goes, you don't hit the smiley people with your hands, and the grudge between Li Zexuan and the Wang family has long been resolved, there is no need to put a face on purpose at this moment.
"All good! All good! Haha! I heard that last night there were thousands of flowers blooming in the sky above Yunshan, and the old man was entangled in mundane things. I didn't have the chance to see one. I really regret it! Next year, oh, no, it is the Chinese New Year this year. It's such a marvelous sight, the old man will definitely get out and take a look in person!"
Wang Yu stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Zexuan smiled, "Yunshan's door is always open for Wang Cishi!"
Since Li Zexuan lived outside the city, he came relatively late, and the two of them didn't say a few gossips, and the conference was about to begin!
At this time, on the steps of the Taiji Palace, a yellow door attendant was holding a whisk, standing there with a sharp voice and loudly said: "The Yuanri Dynasty will begin, and hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries will enter the pilgrimage~!"
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, which was noisy before, immediately fell silent. Officials at all levels immediately arranged their teams according to their ranks, and under the leadership of the chief of civil servants Sun Wuji, holding the Chaohuo, climbing up the steps, and heading towards the Taiji Hall.
Halfway through, Li Zexuan wanted to fish in troubled waters and got into the back of the team, but was held back by Wang Yu.
"Hou Yong'an, all officials of the Yuanri Dachaohui must determine their positions according to their ranks and honors, and they can't stand randomly!"
The prince Zhan Shi was the real position of the third rank, and the founding hou was from the third rank of honor. In this way, Li Zexuan went directly to the conspicuous position of the sixth row of the civil service array. Standing in front of him were the founding officials!
This made Li Zexuan quite depressed, Xindao originally wanted to make up for it, but now he is in this position and sleeps with wool! Not even a place to lean!
After the monarch and his ministers met each other, the group of officials began to pay a New Year greeting to Li Er. This New Year greeting is by no means a simple matter of kowtow. It is up to the prime minister to read the congratulatory form.
The entire congratulatory form is long and slurred, so you have to recite it righteously. Then there are congratulatory forms in each of the local vassal and subordinate countries, and the prime minister has to recite one by one, especially the congratulatory form of the dependent country. , It’s not an obscure thing, many countries are not easy to express in Chinese, can the written words of congratulations be very fluent? It's harder to read! But no matter how hard you work, you have to read, this is the face of the heavenly kingdom!
Li Zexuan heard a toothache in the team, and he couldn't help but began to sympathize with the grandson Wuji. He didn't know how many times the old man had read it last night before he could read these slurred congratulations.
In fact, in the later dynasties, courtiers would not be so troublesome to pay a New Year greeting to the emperor. In the circle of scholars and officials in the Song Dynasty, after New Year’s Eve, they often only need to write a "greeting card" to the emperor and hand it over. What a meeting.
After reciting for almost half an hour~EbookFREE.me~ Li Zexuan heard from behind that he was about to fall asleep, and Changsun Wuji finally finished reading all the congratulatory forms. The old guy was blushing with a thick neck. As if he had just run ten kilometers, panting!
Then Fang Xuanling stepped forward and praised the great achievements of Datang in the past year, such as how many rebellions were suppressed, how many bandits were destroyed, and the Guanzhong area in the spring and summer of last year. A small-scale drought resulted in a slight reduction in food production for the people. Fortunately, the wise His Majesty Li Er issued a tax reduction decree in time, so that the people can still live.
Fang Xuanling finally praised the Nuantang Foundation led by Empress Changsun. Due to the warm winter operation initiated by the foundation, there were no people who starved to death or freeze to death in Chang'an City and the counties near Chang'an City this year. The situation, even in the era of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, did not exist!
In short, the first year of Zhenguan was a successful year, and it was also a year for Datang to forge ahead. In this year, Datang's treasury was full, the people became wealthy, and there were more people reading and literate in the world... .
