Because he was rushed to ascend the throne, Zhao Xian did not prepare a crown suit (court suit), so he could only wear a Tongtian crown suit to host a grand ceremony. The Tongtian crown suit is not a big red robe with black yarn like a public uniform, but a dress second only to the crown suit.

Speaking of which, this outfit of the Heavenly Crown uniform was still a spoil from the Dadu Treasury. His master was Song Duzong.

Zhao Xian went to court wearing his father's crown crown, and he couldn't help feeling extremely sad.

However, the ministers were not wearing Song Dynasty dresses or even public uniforms, but the grandson uniforms of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

There is no way, it’s too hasty, and I can’t get the previous official uniforms, let alone the court uniforms, and there are no public uniforms.

This seems inappropriate, and the scene is actually very embarrassing.

Especially the ministers of the small court were almost all surrendered ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. They were familiar with the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty. Even though they knew something was wrong, they had no choice but to settle it.

Fortunately, the hall is still grand enough. The imperial horses and chariots are all complete. Although Huang's army is not large enough, there are thousands of people. There are two or three hundred musicians, but Kublai Khan still borrows it.

The Daqing Hall is a "Three Pavilion Hall" built strictly in accordance with the ritual system. From the emperor's throne to the south, it is divided into Long Pavilion, Dan Pavilion and Sha Pavilion.

Therefore, the entire Daqing Hall is actually a huge three-stage staircase. The emperor's imperial throne is at the top, the second floor is the dragon trunk, the third floor is the Dan trunk, and the lowest floor is the sand trunk.

On the dragon wall, there are royal chariots, guards, and horses to be displayed.

If Li Luo is here, he will definitely sigh that this is the real Chinese palace, Sanba!

It is hard to imagine later generations that in the great dynasty of the Song Dynasty, the imperial chariots and horses were displayed on both sides of the throne, and there were thousands of people in the hall. How big a palace would it take?

How big is the Sanji Hall that can hold tens of thousands of people? I think. Anyway, it is not the same as the so-called three halls in the Forbidden City. In fact, not only will the Song Dynasty dynasty be like this, but the Sui and Tang Dynasty dynasty are also similar.

In later film and television dramas, the emperor sat on the high platform, with a group of ministers below, and could be seen at a glance at the palace gate. It was okay to play the Ming and Qing dramas, but if it was the Tang and Song dramas, it would be nonsense.

The Golden Palace is not that small, and it is not as simple as a flat piece of land and a high platform.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were playing houses, after all, they did not see the world, and the Tang and Song dynasties were the real show.

However, at this time, the Daqing Hall was too big, with more than a thousand people inside, especially the darkness in it, which seemed very gloomy.

The musicians' music was not good for some reason. Although the singing ceremony, dancing and worship, toasts, and tribute exhibitions held in the hall were also correct, it just made people feel a little weird.

As for why it was strange, it was hard for everyone to say at first, but as the ministers worshiped and danced, everyone finally knew how to describe this strangeness.

It's like a person who had been dead for many days... suddenly he got up like a normal person to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

Are you talking weird?

The Song Dynasty was destroyed for many years, but suddenly came to life like this, really like a dead person cheating zombie.

Even the seventeen-year-old emperor Zhao Xian could not see much happy expression at this time.

This emperor was forced by Kublai Khan, and the ministers were all given the role of the Yuan and Han ministers, and the Song army was also given the role of the Yuan and Han army.

He was just a puppet and couldn't make a decision at all. Even the newly appointed palace guards and palace servants were all sent by the Yuan court. He, as an emperor, was actually a prisoner.

It’s just that the people don’t know. The people only know that the Tartars have withdrew from the Central Plains and that the Song Dynasty will restore the country, and life should be better.

The Central Plains seemed to have recovered the Song Dynasty and the Mongols and Yuan dynasties, but in fact they were still under the control of Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan was worried that all the Han people would rebel, so he cooperated with Li Luo's northern expedition, so he threw the Central Plains to himself and let him quell the resistance of the Han people in the northern region. He liked to benefit from the fisherman.

Now it's better. I was roasted by Kublai Khan on the fire, and this is an unexpected danger in the future...

Thinking of this, Zhao Xian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and the so-called court dance music in the hall could not be listened to at all.

He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he ascended the throne at Lin'an Palace, which was the real congratulations. Although he was too young and ignorant at the time, it could be seen that the ministers were respecting him.

But now? Although they were dancing, they could not feel the awe, and they were just perfunctory and indifference.

They are just going through the motions.

Zhao Xian simply closed his eyes and was too lazy to look at it again.

He is annoyed, tired, and afraid.

Liu Mengyan and other ministers bowed and danced perfunctorily, and finally finished it, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Liu Mengyan is still a minister of Kublai Khan. His mission is to hold Zhao Xian in his hands and coax the people with the government. If he can, he will maintain it. If he can't maintain it, he will flee to Hebei.

In order to give face to the fake Song Dynasty, the Yuan court also sent "envoys" to watch the ceremony and also sent congratulatory gifts to the fake Song Dynasty, congratulations on the "restoration of the Song Dynasty".

Then, the two countries signed a secret agreement. The secret agreement stipulated that the Song Dynasty not only praised the Yuan Dynasty, but also made an appointment as a country of father and son. Zhao Xian respected Kublai Khan as the king and Kublai Khan as the father.

Then, two million stones of "annual grain" are transported every year, one million pieces of "annual silk" and 300,000 stones of salt. The big yuan does not require gold and silver, only grain, silk and salt.

Of course this has been decided long ago.

If the Yuan court directly ruled the Central Plains, not only would it be more and more difficult to collect money and grain, but the anti-Yuan uprising would also break out at any time. If the Tang army attacked the north again, it would be completely passive.

By using the indirect rule of the pseudo-Song Dynasty, this game of chess will survive.

Not to mention that the people are not fools and it is hard to fool them. There are not many people who know how to read. How can they know so many twists and turns? The people really have such high awareness, and the Central Plains can still reach this point?

The next day, the grand court meeting ended in a careless manner. Before Zhao Xian had time to rest, Pingzhang's military and national affairs kept Mengyan in the palace and asked Zhao Xian to convene the Chang Dynasty to discuss major events.

"Duke Liu, I have been busy for days and exhausted recently. Moreover, I am young and knowledgeable, and I cannot be an emperor. This is a major national event, so I will do it with you." Zhao Xian said absent-mindedly.

He is not stupid, he is still a little talented and knows his situation.

"Official family." Liu Mengyan bowed his hands in sloppy manner, "The official family is the emperor, how can he ignore government affairs? How can the power of the lord be entrusted to all his subordinates?"

Zhao Xian looked at Liu Mengyan's hypocritical face and felt angry. He forced a smile on his face: "Liu Gong is a good man and I believe Liu Gong. Just let go and do it. I heard that the three generations of holy lords are ruling the world, and I admire him very much."

"Besides, I am only seventeen years old this year, so it's still a little too early to take charge. I will grant Liu Gong the regent, pretending to be Huang Yue, and fully dealing with the government affairs..."

He actually wanted to be a hand-off manager. He knew very well that even if he came forward to govern, he would be just a mud-womb Bodhisattva in the temple.

"Why did the official say this?" Liu Mengyan said sternly, "The old minister is not a treacherous minister, how can he pretend to be Huang Yue and serve as the regent minister! I have been in the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, so how can I have the position of regent minister!"

Liu Mengyan felt that he had been hurt and insulted. He impatiently said to the left and right guards, and ordered: "Prepare to get on the shoulders and wait for the officials to go to the Chuigong Hall."

"Zhe!" Several guards stepped forward together, and Pili Yangqiu smiled and said, "Official family, we are on the way."

Zhao Xian sighed and could only obediently get on the carriage and go to the Chugong Hall.

The Chuigong Hall is the main hall for daily governance. At this time, it was so wet that it had been abandoned for a long time. A small pool was formed in the cracks on the ground, and there were even small fish and tadpoles swimming inside.

When we arrived at the wet Chuigong Hall, we saw more than a hundred court officials all arrived and the ceremonial guards were arranged.

They now call themselves Song ministers, but they are all wearing Mongolian grandson clothes. Most of them are the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty and became "Song ministers" again at this time, and I don't know what they feel in my heart.

"The official has arrived! I kneel down to greet me and congratulate me!" a former eunuch from the Yuan Palace shouted.

More than a hundred people knelt down in uneven ways, lifted their heads before they touched the ground, shouting indifferently: "Gourmet to the official family..."

Zhao Xian felt as if he was being driven to a duck, and he was sitting on the dragon chaise that had not been dry yet. He raised his hand perfunctorily and said in a panic: "Flat your body...Flat your body!Flat your body!"

"Thank you for yourselves." The ministers simply thanked them and straightened their backs.

Among these people, some people still want to be loyal to Zhao Xian and are interested in revitalizing the Song Dynasty, but the number is very small. Most of them are completing the tasks of the Yuan court.

Their family is small and they are still in Hebei!

"The official family, the equalization of land order and the tax reduction order have been issued for half a month. The people of the Central Plains have learned that the people's hearts have surrendered! The fire of tax resistance has become smaller and smaller." Liu Mengyan first came out of the list and was quite good.

In fact, Liu Mengyan is telling the truth.

Half a month ago, as soon as the pseudo-Song Dynasty arrived in Kaifeng, it issued an edict to equalize the land, reduce taxes and provide relief. It also announced the restoration of the Central Plains. At the same time, officials from all over the country returned north one after another.

This move was so powerful that the Han people in the northern region, which had become increasingly fierce in tax resistance, immediately began to stop.

Not only did Daluhachi in the county town leave, but also the Mongolian custodian in the village community leave, and those who make the decision have replaced Han officials. This shows that the Tartars have really left, and the Central Plains have been restored.

The gentry who originally had the right to collect taxes had no right to collect taxes.

The pastures and land that were originally spread throughout the Central Plains actually said they would be distributed to the people to cultivate. As long as they could farm, they would have land to plant.

The edict also stated that in the future, taxes will be imposed on land acres, and only 30% will be imposed. Other miscellaneous taxes will be abolished.

Of course, 30% of the regular tax is not low. But if there are no other miscellaneous taxes, that would be another matter.

You know, they had to pay 70% of the regular tax and extra taxes at the beginning. The miscellaneous tax was actually even more ruthless, several times the regular tax.

The official said that all miscellaneous taxes were abolished and only 30% of the positive tax was levied, and the burden was twice as lighter than before. Why did he rebel?

Therefore, the anti-Yuan spirit of the Han people in the northern region, due to the "restoration of the Central Plains" and the reduction of taxes in equal fields, was like a raging fire poured on a basin of cold water, and suddenly lost its momentum.

The vast Central Plains region began to calm down again. Some refugees even began to return to their hometowns.

Things are so weird. So people's hearts are like water.

This is Kublai Khan's way of returning him to the other side and using Li Luo's means to deal with the Tang court.

"The officials, the people used to resist the tax on the Dayuan period. Now it seems that they will no longer resist the tax. No one can incite them anymore." Privy Councilor Ye Li said, "Congratulations to the officials, the revival of the Song Dynasty is expected."

"As long as the people do not resist taxes and rebellion, this year's grain tax, silk, commercial tax and salt tax can reach 10 million. Apart from the annual tribute to the Yuan Dynasty, the surplus of seven million can be made, barely supporting the 300,000 army to maintain the operation of the court. By next year, there will be more."

Zhao Xian was in a better mood, with a little expectation, and a little more worry. He spoke boldly: "I am not familiar with the world, and I know the shallow virtues. I also ask you to solve my doubts. If there is a famine, what kind of disaster relief will the court provide?"

Ye Li smiled and said, "Don't worry about the officials. The Central Plains tyrants are looking for a mistake in abuse of the people. They are searching for houses and robbing their property, are they still afraid of not having money or food?"

Almost all the ministers in the palace were from the south. They surrendered in Lin'an with the Empress Dowager. Their property in the south was confiscated by Li Luo, and they hated the Tang Ting to death. However, they were indifferent to the interests of the wealthy families in the Central Plains.

What does it have to do with them? It is not their industry. If their industries in the south are lost, why can't the industries of the Central Plains be lost?

In fact, in Kublai Khan's eyes, the Central Plains rich people had lost their value. Since they had no value, they would slaughter and eat meat.

According to the agreement, the money and food for the house search will generally belong to the Yuan court.
