When the ministers walked into the familiar Hall of Supreme Harmony, they found that the Hall of Supreme Harmony was different from before. Originally, there were only a few places under the Dragon Throne, which were reserved for people with extremely high status when they went to court.
Yes, just like Zhao Kai sat in that position before when he was the Crown Prince, and the original Master Xi Chu also had a special seat.
These seats can usually accommodate three or four people. These people are of high status and do not kneel to the emperor during court meetings.
But now, the original few seats have been removed, and many more seats have been added. There are ten seats on the left and right sides, each arranged in two rows. There are precious aromatherapy cushions on the seats, and there is a table in front of them.
When the ministers filed in, seeing so many things happening all at once, they all whispered, wondering what the new emperor was up to. After the ministers stood still, the eunuch in the palm of his hand began to speak in a voice that did not sound like a man's.
:
"In the morning after this, officials from the second rank and above do not need to kneel, but can sit in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers began to look at each other. It was not uncommon for them not to kneel in the morning. Normally, the princes and nobles also enjoyed these treatments, but there were so many of them today, and they even arranged seats. It can be said that
It's unprecedented.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the vassal princes and court dignitaries began to sit down in the seats arranged in advance, starting with the princes and dignitaries.
In the end, even second-grade Xuanyuan Jingcheng had his own seat.
After everyone was in place, Emperor Zhao Kaicai arrived belatedly. After all the ministers shouted long live, the morning court officially began.
Although people in the front row do not need to kneel down, they still need to bow and salute, otherwise it would be really treasonous.
Zhao Kai said "After all the ministers are freed from death", Zhao Kai didn't say anything more and just asked Song Tanglu, the eunuch who held the seal, to start reading out the imperial edict.
One after another imperial edicts began to be issued:
"Promoted to the Imperial Academy Zuojiu Huan Wen to be the provincial minister Zuopushe, and granted the title of Grand Bachelor of Wenting Pavilion. You don't have to kneel in front of a saint!"
After hearing the imperial edict, Tantanweng, who almost fell asleep in his bed, immediately stood up from his chair and ran to the middle to kneel down. As a veteran of the three dynasties, receiving such treatment was a sign of great favor from the emperor. Countless ministers began to pay their respects.
The envious look. After all, Huan Wen was scolded by Zhao Kai not long ago. Many people thought that he had lost favor. Unexpectedly, he was the first person to be promoted. This also made the officials below him regard Zhao Kai's behavior.
I can't figure it out. Is it possible that I can get promoted even after being scolded?
"The minister made Zhang Julu the Duke of Anguo, and gave him a golden book and an iron coupon, which can save me from three deaths, and one of my immediate family members, and I will not kneel in front of the saint!"
Everyone was moved by this imperial edict. The Duke of the country, the golden book and the iron certificate, what an honor it is! It is the highest treatment that a civil servant can achieve. Above, he can only rebel and become the emperor.
This also reassured the officials of Zhang and Lu's line. Since ancient times, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he has not been very friendly to these powerful civil servants and military generals. Few of them can die a good death, and basically they all end up in infamy.
.
Not only is he now a feudal lord, but he also has a gold medal to avoid death. No one since has ever known this, but it can definitely be said to be unprecedented.
But what was surprising was that Zhang Julu returned the golden book and iron coupon the next day. After all, this thing was too hot for him.
"Gu Jiantang resigned from the post of Minister of War, was granted the title of Dazhu Kingdom, and took charge of the military affairs of the two Liao Dynasties."
After being suppressed by the Ministry of War for nearly twenty years, especially after Chen Zhibao was crowned king, Gu Jiantang finally managed to get through, and won the Dazhu Kingdom that Xu Xiao had given up, and was about to return to the Liao Dynasty.
···
"Remove Zhao Gou and rename it as the Inspection and Inspection Yuan to exercise the power of inspection and inspection of hundreds of officials! The status is equivalent to the three provinces and above the six ministries!
Promote Yuan Pu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to the position of dean of the Institute of Appraisal, to coordinate the affairs of the Institute of Appraisal, from the first rank! Promote Xuanyuan Jingcheng to the director of the Institute of Appraisal, to the rank of second rank!"
This imperial edict also amazed countless people.
Since then, the spy who has been walking in the dark all year round has prevented Zhao Gou from officially coming to the forefront, becoming an inspection institute that is feared by all civil and military officials, and is only responsible to the emperor.
Yuan Benxi is about to retire, and the Inspection Institute will also be handed over to Xuanyuan Jingcheng and rookie Lu Xu. The emergence of the Inspection Institute is also to check and balance the power of the prime minister. After all, not all prime ministers are Zhang Julu.
In order to prevent the Inspection and Inspection Institute from having too much power, Zhao Kai specially assigned two persons in charge to serve as checks and balances.
At this time, the civil and military officials were still recalling the previous decrees, because they were too many and would take a long time to digest. Due to Zhao Kai's control over the court, this was the first time
The imperial edict was issued, and the main purpose was to reward rewards. Naturally, no minister dared to raise any objections.
It wasn't until they left the court without saying a word that everyone came back to their senses and thanked each other and left.
After the early dynasty, all major officials began to perform their duties. Since Zhao Kai had been supervising the country for a long time, there was no turmoil in all this, and everyone was familiar with the process.
The most important thing is the matter of the inspection institute, for which Zhao Kai also spent a lot of effort.
A few days later, Zhao Kai began to summon the major vassal kings, as well as Gu Jiantang, who was about to return to the border between Liao and Liao. These people had been in the capital for some time, and it was time to leave. Before leaving, these people must
You have to resign like the emperor, or wait for the emperor's summons.
Zhao Kai didn't like the smell of the Imperial Study Room, so he specifically chose the Imperial Garden as the venue for the interview.
The first person to receive him was none other than the prince of Northern Liang, Xu Fengnian.
The two of them sat on a round table and drank tea calmly. They were not tea lovers, they just simply thought the tea tasted good.
Xu Fengnian began to imitate his father's tactics and wanted to take good things when he saw them, saying:
"This tea is good, give me some later!"
Zhao Kai shook his head and said:
"Those old men are thinking about my tea every day, and there is not much left in stock. If you want it, you have to wait until next year.
By the way, how is Mr. Wen doing? Have you recovered?"
After Huang Sanjia agreed to Zhao Kai's conditions, several people left Wen Hua behind without saying a word, and even Master Li Bai, who had been deeply affectionate before, was no longer willing to see him.
This moment almost made Wen Hua go from heaven to hell. Zhao Kai wanted to introduce Chen Yu to him, but he didn't expect that this guy was like a man possessed and didn't even look at him.
Xu Fengnian sighed and said:
"After having a few drinks, I'm feeling much better now. I think it won't take long for me to recover."
Then he said:
"I have already heard the matter mentioned by the ancestor of the sword-eating ancestor. This time, I really want to thank you. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Sui Xiegu had previously found Xu Fengnian specifically and told Xu Fengnian everything about the bet.
Zhao Kai waved his hand and said:
"We are all brothers, why are you talking about this? I hope that after this incident, Wen Laoer can go further in the way of swordsmanship. There is a saying that is good, if there is no woman in your heart, draw the sword to be a god!"
Xu Fengnian then said viciously:
"This Huang Sanjia, we have no grievances against him, yet he plotted against us like this. If it weren't for the sake of Miss Hehe, I would have killed him sooner or later."
Zhao Kai nodded and said:
"Yeah, if he wasn't my senior brother, he would be a corpse now."
Both of them gnashed their teeth at Huang Sanjia, but they couldn't kill him directly. Only Huang Sanjia could be treated like this by the two most powerful people in the world, and he didn't know if all this was what he expected.
middle.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention Xu Fengnian's previous attack on Master Liu Hao and his threats to Yuan Benxi. They probably did not want to make it difficult for the other party.
