When Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er arrived at the scene, many officials had already arrived in advance and greeted them warmly.
"Master Ye, happy new year!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, hello, Mr. Li! Congratulations on getting rich!"
Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er greeted the adults one after another, and everyone's face was beaming with joy.
"General Jinlong, General Tianying, and General Feiyun are here!" Suddenly, the eunuch at the door shouted.
The three generals arrived, and the officials and dignitaries on the scene went to the door to greet the three generals.
Everyone said hello to each other, with a smile on everyone's face, and wished each other New Year's greetings.
Afterwards, everyone sat in their corresponding seats according to the rules.
Fang Chen's position is on the lower left side of the dragon chair, which can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people.
All the seats were horizontal, and Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er sat together.
On the lower right side of the dragon chair are the positions arranged for the three generals, followed by the six ministers on the left and right, and finally other officials according to their official positions and positions of power.
There were also some dignitaries with titles but without official positions present.
However, these people have no sense of existence and no rights. They usually do not ask about government affairs and only pay New Year greetings to His Majesty during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone was chatting together in small groups, drinking wine, and eating fruits. On weekdays, ministers rarely get together to chat. Today is a time for everyone to chat to enhance their relationship, and many things can be solved invisibly.
Fang Chen and Ye Fan have the best relationship, followed by the three generals, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Industry.
Many people are talking about attacking Dakang and Dagan in the next year.
I wonder whether Your Majesty will attack one by one or together. After all, it is not a good thing to disperse the troops.
Everyone thought they would attack Dagan. After all, Dayan had already attacked Dagan before. Dagan also ceded the city to pay huge sums of money and even came to make peace. However, the Dagan dynasty did not repent and continued to deal with Dayan.
A war will definitely break out in the next year, and His Majesty has already informed the world about this.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon, and the maids came in one after another to serve food to the seats.
After everything was ready, His Majesty and the Queen finally arrived.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Following the shout of summoning the eunuch, all the ministers left their seats and went to the middle of the hall to salute:
Luo Ningxin sat on the golden throne, and Lu Caihuang sat on the right hand seat.
"Long live your majesty!"
"Queen, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
"All the ministers are equal!"
All the officials stood up and returned to their seats.
Luo Ningxin and Lu Caihuang were also filled with enthusiasm and New Year's celebrations.
His Majesty is still wearing a dragon robe and is extremely majestic.
The Queen is dressed in a festive red dress, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, her face is like peach petals, and her eyes are like autumn waves.
It's so beautiful.
The ceremony of the annual meeting officially began, with the emperor's speech first.
As we enter the New Year, may everything go well, the grain will be abundant, the people may live in peace and contentment, and may good luck come true.
After a simple speech, Luo Ningxin raised her wine glass to respect her ancestors, civil and military ministers, and the people of the world!
Three glasses of wine in a row, and all the ministers below also drank three glasses in a row with His Majesty.
Officially opened.
His Majesty, the Queen and all the ministers chatted while eating. This was the only time the ministers and the emperor ate together.
The atmosphere was very harmonious and relaxed, and the emperor and queen did not show any airs.
The next step is for the ministers to pay New Year greetings to His Majesty and the Queen.
In addition to congratulatory words, there is no need to give gifts when paying New Year greetings.
And His Majesty did not like his ministers to spend money on giving him gifts. Even if it was the emperor's birthday, he did not like to receive expensive gifts.
Generals and ministers need to report on some of their work this year and make a summary when they wish to celebrate the New Year.
His Majesty will then give corresponding rewards based on each person's summary, achievements over the years, etc.
Next, all officials pay New Year greetings in order from low to high.
The lowest person who can go to court today is a fifth-rank official.
Some officials can only see His Majesty once a year. They all send New Year greetings to His Majesty and the Queen with gratitude and excitement, and then sum up their work.
Of course, His Majesty has the information of these officials and the details of their work within one year.
And you can't talk nonsense in your work summary. Once your Majesty finds out the clues and is seen by other officials making up nonsense, you will be punished several times, and the consequences will be very serious.
Your Majesty also doesn't like people who flatter you, so just give a real report.
Officials one after another began to pay New Year greetings to His Majesty with joy, and His Majesty was not stingy and rewarded them with silver, grain, silk, silk, etc.
The fifth-rank officials finished their New Year greetings, followed by the fourth-rank officials, then the third-rank and second-rank officials.
After receiving the reward, every minister was extremely grateful and thanked the Lord for His grace.
Finally came the highlight, the three generals paid New Year greetings to His Majesty.
The three generals left their seats at the same time and knelt in the center of the hall.
General Jin Long said: "Your Majesty, when the war started last year, the three of us led a million-strong army to conquer Daqian, and bought several cities and tens of millions of silver for my Dayan!"
After a brief report, General Tianying took out a jade box and held it respectfully in front of his chest.
"Your Majesty, we are going to conquer Daqian and Dakang in the next year. I would like to take advantage of the annual meeting to hand over the tiger talisman. I am willing to follow your majesty's arrangements for the battlefield next year!"
Chen Feiyun also immediately took out the Tiger Talisman, looking confident and confident.
"Your Majesty, now that the war between the three dynasties has broken out, everyone in Dayan should unite as one to fight against foreign enemies. I am also willing to return the Tiger Talisman to Your Majesty!"
Fang Chen had discussed with the two generals before, and they were willing to hand over the tiger talisman at the annual meeting in front of all civil and military officials. Now their promise has been fulfilled.
Luo Ningxin stood up and left the dragon chair. She walked up to the two generals in person, bent down and hurriedly helped them up.
The emperor personally supported him, and the two generals were very excited.
Of course Luo Ningxin also helped General Jinlong up.
"It really makes me happy that the three generals can take the initiative to hand over the Tiger Talisman for the sake of the country and the people!"
Later, Luo Ningxin personally took the two tiger charms into her hands.
Now with the three tiger talismans in hand, Luo Ningxin has complete control over the military.
The three generals spoke in unison, their voices firm.
"Your Majesty, this is what we should do!"
Luo Ningxin immediately smiled and said: "Come here, the three generals will each reward you with a thousand taels of silver, a thousand horses, a hundred stones of noodles, and a hundred stones of rice! They will be granted the title of General Protector of the Country!"
This time, they were officially given official titles and titles, becoming generals protecting the country and the highest-status generals!
The three of them knelt down again.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Then the three of them took their seats, and His Majesty raised his wine glass in honor of the three generals.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Now everyone else has finished paying New Year greetings, and only Fang Chen is left.
Fang Chen walked to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, a lot of things have happened this year. Everything I have done as a minister is my duty. I do not need any reward."
"However, I want to go on a long journey. I have mentioned it to Your Majesty before. I hope Your Majesty can agree today."
