It rained last night, and the dewdrops on the flowers rolled around, making them sparkling and lovely.
"Pap!" A strong wind came, and the dewdrops instantly rolled down to the ground and dissipated in the dust.
Pairs of military boots walked quickly, rushing to every corner of the palace.
Soon, soldiers were stationed outside the Taiji Hall, Zhaoyang Hall, Jianshi Hall, Jiafu Hall, Jiulong Hall, Chonghua Hall and other building complexes.
The Nangong Taiji Hall where the ceremony was held was even more important. Soldiers entered and inspected the hall three times before giving up.
Afterwards, the sergeants from Yinqiang's left battalion used buildings as units to guard inside and outside the halls to check the comings and goings.
The Emperor Sima Chi stood by the canal in front of the Nine Dragons Palace, glaring angrily. But those who knew him well knew that the background of anger was fear, and the Emperor was very afraid of something unexpected happening today.
After all, the prince is dead!
When the governor Zhao Huai saw the emperor, he bowed from a distance, then ignored him and waved his hand. The wolf-like soldiers immediately occupied the two small bridges on the canal and isolated the palaces in the north of the canal.
.
To give them face, at least they didn't send anyone to disturb the Bafang north of the palaces. They only set up barriers at the intersections and sent soldiers to guard them - Bafang was where the talented people lived.
Sima Chi stared at Zhao Huai who was assigning sentries, but his expression did not change. He was doing whatever he was supposed to do. He shouted commands quickly and urgently. He was obviously a crazy person, a man who had been reared by the Shao thieves for many years.
In the end, he gave up and returned to the Nine Dragons Hall with a desolate expression.
Perhaps, there is still a glimmer of extravagant hope in my heart.
It is impossible for Shao Thief to stay in Luoyang for a long time, just as it is impossible for Cao Mengde to stay in Xuchang for a long time.
After Shao Thief left, he still had a chance - but he didn't really want to stay in Luoyang.
Sima Chi subconsciously looked to the north, why was there still no movement? The chaos he wanted to see never appeared.
Not long after the emperor entered the palace, Shao Fan, the cavalry general and the shogunate's assassination commander, came over.
The left and right law enforcement officers ordered Shi each to lead hundreds of troops, enter from the Yunlong Gate of the palace city, and conduct inspections for the second time.
After touring the Beigong palaces, Hualin Garden, Tianyuanchi, Jiuhuatai and other places, we then went south through Lingyundai, Ganoderma lucidum garden, and carefully inspected the Nangong building complex, which is dominated by Taiji and Zhaoyang halls.
In the square in front of the palace, he saw Wang Que'er, the governor of the Silver Spear Left Battalion, and his many servants shooting Zheng Shida.
The two were talking.
Wang Queer didn't say much, but Zheng Shida followed behind, chattering endlessly, with a very flattering look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Shao Fan had a more comprehensive impression of Zheng Shida in his mind. He secretly said that he had to make a few additions to Zheng Shida's files after returning: he was eager for fame and good at flattery.
Shao Fan looked at Changhemen again.
This building was ordered to be built by Emperor Wei Ming during his lifetime.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, most of the emperors listened to government affairs and held court meetings in the Jianshi Hall, Jiafu Hall, Jiulong Hall and other halls. In his later years, as Cao Wei's national power gradually increased, he carried out large-scale construction projects. He called the old palace complex "Beigong" and began to build Taiji Hall, Zhaoyang Hall and so on.
The palace, Changhe Gate, Yunlong Gate and other buildings are called "Nangong".
Although there are only two main halls in the South Palace, the amount of work is much larger than that of the North Palace. Unfortunately, Emperor Ming could not wait until the Nangong was completed until his death, and the Jiafu Hall in the North Palace collapsed.
Changhemen is the south gate of the entire Luoyang Palace City, facing Tongtuo Street.
Tomorrow (June 15th) is Wangri, and there will be a court meeting. At that time, the Changhemen will be opened, and all civil and military officials will enter through this door.
Before nightfall today, Taichang would move the entire four compartments of musical instruments in. The positions would be set up later in the night, when the flow of people would be very chaotic and must be observed.
Shao Fan took the trouble and walked around the front hall of Tai Chi.
Inside Duanmen stood Ji Shu, the master of the Silver Spear Military Building, arranging the sentry posts for six hundred soldiers.
According to the system, there should be a tiger general, a captain, a supervisor of the Yulin army on duty, a censor, and a visitor to supervise the place.
At this time, the censor came and the visitor came, but the commander of the army had been replaced by Ji Shu.
There are also court officials supervising Changhemen, namely Tingweijian and Tingweiping. The guard sergeants are two thousand and two hundred soldiers.
Yunlong Gate is closed and only soldiers are on duty.
After walking around, Shao Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Such a big fight is just to ensure safety.
****
On June 15th, I hope to see the meeting in Japan.
Shao Xun got up when it was still dark outside.
Going to court in the morning is really anti-human. Getting up too early is like selling breakfast in later generations, and you have to get up in the middle of the night.
There was an official who was so sleepy that he didn't even have time to have breakfast, so he bought a biscuit on the road and ate it while walking.
Fortunately, there were not many court meetings in this era. Even in the Tang Dynasty, there were only three court meetings every three days. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sometimes felt that the frequency was too high and he might as well sleep in. From now on, the king would not go to court early in the morning!
I really don’t know how to live a daily life.
"Husband, I'm waiting for you at home." Yu Wenjun personally dressed Shao Xun in the yellow court clothes of the summer season and said softly.
Shao Xun nodded and said, "It's just a formality."
The soldiers have arrived outside.
Shao Xun hugged his wife and said, "In a few days, you can summon the officials, wives, and female relatives to have fun together."
Yu Wenjun hummed.
In fact, she didn't like these things very much, but her husband encouraged her to do it, so she had no choice but to do it.
Furthermore, when men are fighting outside, she should indeed share some of the pressure.
"Ming Gong." Yang Qin urged softly.
Shao Xun looked at the sky and said, "Let's go."
The carriage stopped at the door and Shao Xun got on it.
Hundreds of pro-army regiments escorted them all the way to the west and then north, and soon arrived at Changhemen.
"Mr. Chen." All the officials who saw him saluted.
Shao Xun returned the favor one by one.
After that, there was nothing more to say, and everyone remained silent until the palace door opened.
Shao Xun looked at the dark palace door, which looked like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open, making it unpredictable.
He did not hesitate, held his head high and moved forward.
Sima Chi came to the side hall early and sat there with an expressionless face, like a puppet.
Today is the Wangri Imperial Court Meeting, but it is not a simple imperial meeting because there is a canonization ceremony.
On the day of canonization, the emperor came to the palace, accompanied by hundreds of officials.
Also, the princes and ministers are valued by the king, so they sit up and address themselves as uncle and uncle.
Of course, that was the pre-Qin period. At that time, princes and ministers were very valuable, and the monarch had to give them considerable respect.
At this time, there are only a few types of ceremonies that require the emperor to visit the throne -
1. Send envoys to foreign countries;
Second, pay homage to the Third Duke and officials of the same level, including generals;
3. The emperor’s wedding, crown ceremony and canonization of the queen;
Fourth, Crown Prince Crowning Ceremony;
Fifth, canonize the vassal king.
Today, there are two ceremonies: "Paying homage to the General" and "Promoting to the Duke of Liang".
The general is not a simple military position. He "governs the affairs of the country internally and specializes in military expeditions externally. His power is far beyond the right of the prime minister." This is a position above the prime minister and the three princes.
Thinking back then, when Cao Cao was the general and Yuan Shao was the captain, he was very unhappy and cursed directly. The result was: "Cao Cao was so afraid that he gave up the throne to Shao."
The generals of the country are not permanent, but every time they appear, they correspond to an auxiliary minister.
The more Sima Chi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his expression looked a little sad.
Jinshi Yayue was played quickly, extending from the Changhe Gate to the Tai Chi Front Hall.
Attendant Liu Wang looked at the engraving and said: "Your Majesty, the time has come."
Sima Chi nodded heavily.
Liu Wang came to the main hall and said loudly: "Ascend to the throne."
The emperor's servants, the casual knights, the Huangmen servants, and other ministers came in one by one with their close ministers.
After a while, the Emperor Sima Chi, wearing the robe of Gun Mian, walked out of the side hall, sat behind the dragon table, and stared outside - the sky was dim, and he could see all the officials under the Shangshu order waiting outside the palace door.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Liu Wang kept staring at the missing moment. When the time came, he turned around and said: "Please ask your Majesty to handle this."
Sima Chi stood up expressionlessly, surrounded by his ministers, walked out of the palace gate and stood under the eaves.
A visitor came forward, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Da Honglu, Yang Maoyan and all the ministers are in place."
Attendant Liu Wang looked at the emperor, turned around and said, "Yes."
The visitor withdrew.
After a while, Da Honglu and Yang Hao trotted over.
Sima Chi glanced at him with disgust: Former governor of Yanzhou, Sima Yue's assistant.
Sima Yue and Shao Xun are the people he hates the most.
After Sima Yue died, many people defected to Shao Xun, and he became the "new Sima Yue", even more hateful!
"Your Majesty, please do something." Da Honglu and Yang Hao said.
Attendant Liu Wang did not look at the emperor this time and said directly: "Yes."
Yang Hao immediately turned around, raised his hands and said, "You can do it."
The sound of elegant music is everywhere.
Under the guidance of the visitor, Shao Xun came to the front of His Majesty, facing the first ray of sunshine from the east.
When Ya Le stopped, Shao Xun prostrated himself on the ground and said: "I, Shao Xun, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
All the civil and military officials and princes lined up in front of the palace focused their attention on him.
Their eyes are complicated.
Emotions such as envy, flattery, hatred, jealousy, disdain, and joy are intertwined, adding a different color to this ceremony.
Attendant Liu Wang unfolded an imperial edict and recited it loudly: "I have been working hard for ten years since I became emperor, and I really want to bring peace and happiness to all living beings and bring peace to the world. However, jackals and wolves are rising up, ugly groups are standing side by side, and devastation has spread all over the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers.
Weaving the sky in Heluo..."
"Every time I think about the suffering of Li Yuan, tears run down my clothes; when I see the ruins of the city, I feel filled with anger. The sin is mine, and it hurts my heart..."
"With Huang Gong's strategy in mind, he made long-term plans on the river; he garrisoned as far as melons, and stationed at Yanzhao for a long time. Successful reports are often heard, and achievements can be counted. It is appropriate to be appointed as a general, record the affairs of the minister, give him authority, and specialize in expeditions."
"Xun Ding was determined to save the trouble, and he always had a loyal heart; he helped the world and brought peace to the people, and fulfilled his heroic ambition. Now, observing the will of heaven and the wishes of people, it is appropriate to promote Liang Gong and make the ten counties of Chen, Liang, and Wei the Liang Kingdom.
I hope you will always remember Huan Wen’s martyrdom.”
"I kowtow to thank Tianen." Shao Xun bowed again.
"The ceremony is over." After the attendant Liu Wang shouted these words, he immediately stepped forward and helped Shao Xun up with a smile.
Shao Xun greeted him with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the emperor.
Sima Chi looked at this majestic and mighty man, and for a moment he didn't dare to look at him and avoided looking at him.
The ministers secretly looked at the two of them and sighed secretly.
The general, the Duke of Liang, and the Mu of Yanzhou were all integrated into one body, and the kingly spirit of the Jin Dynasty was divided.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter and the golden sunlight fell on Shao Xun, making people dare not look directly at him.
