The imperial meeting was an important political system in feudal society. According to the system, there were three different times and forms for the imperial meeting in the Tang Dynasty:

One is the great court meeting held on the first day of the lunar month and the winter solstice. It is the most solemn and requires "big furnishings". The palace is hung with drums and drums, and the chariots and chariots are on display. At that time, the emperor "puts on his crown, the royal carriage comes out, and the canopy canopy."

"The police and bodyguards behave as usual" and accept the congratulations from the ministers and guests.

The second is Shuowang Chaocan, which is on the first and fifteenth day of each month. On the day of the day, there are awnings, mats, incense burners, and incense tables on the palace hall. Guards of honor are displayed according to the time.

"Paging in uniform, urging all officials to get to work."

Finally, there is Chang Shen.

Today is regarded as the lunar month and morning ginseng, the 15th morning ginseng.

In the Taiji Hall, under the leadership of the supervisory censor, the officials took their places in the palace according to their rank. The emperor first came out and took his throne, and the officials performed the ceremony of worshiping after singing praises during the ceremony.

The emperor is in place.

The life of hundreds of officials.

Then today’s court meeting began.

Soon a minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, the severe drought in Guanzhong may affect spring sowing next year. Please grant your permission to open the canal in Guanzhong!"

The words were spoken and the curtain was drawn.

Afterwards, the ministers began to enter the court discussion.

As for the events involved in the Shuo Wang Chao Shen, compared with the great court gatherings held on Yuan Day and the Winter Solstice, which pay more attention to etiquette, the Shuo Wang Chao Shen is the time when officials and the emperor really resolve matters.

Compared with later generations after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, hundreds of officials knelt down and ministers bowed their heads. In this era, although it was not as good as during the Qin and Han Dynasties when people sat down to discuss Taoism, they could still stand up.

In the empty hall, hundreds of officials lined up in order to perform.

Most of them are discussing this year's unusual weather and the natural disasters in the coming year.

With a history of thousands of years, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the predictions about the heaven and earth in China have undoubtedly been extremely accurate.

This is especially true during the farming season.

One after another figures are playing on the screen.

Li Shimin's brows furrowed even more.

My head even felt aching.

It seems like God is against him.

In the first year of his ascension to the throne, there was a severe drought in the world, and it was very likely that there would be a catastrophic disaster.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin didn't even have to think about it. There were many people waiting to see his show.

It seems that these people are worried about the country and the people, but the real situation is that these wealthy families may not care about this.

"Prime Minister, tell me, how should the Great Khan of Guanzhong respond?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin gradually calmed down, looked at Fang Xuanling, and spoke.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling quickly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty!"

"I feel that this year's severe drought should be fine and there is no need to open the floodgates. Your Majesty should be wary of next year's locust plague."

"After a severe drought, there will inevitably be a locust plague."

Fang Xuanling spoke. Compared with others who were worried about drought, Fang Xuanling directly said a key point at this moment.

And his words immediately silenced the court.

Then a figure walked out.

"Your Majesty, I think your husband is right. Why don't you offer sacrifices to Haotian to appeal to heaven?"

Words speak.

And his words instantly made Li Shimin's face darken.

But it is obvious that the civil and military officials did not care about this at this time.

Along with this voice spoke.

Soon a few more people spoke.

"Your Majesty, what Cui Yushi said is absolutely true!"

"Your Majesty, disaster is a warning from Heaven. Your Majesty sacrifices to Haotian to seek forgiveness from Heaven."

One voice after another spoke.

Just words.

The voice is getting smaller and smaller.

Because at this time, they only felt chills on their backs.

He raised his head and met Li Shimin's cold gaze.

This couldn't help but make them excited.

Many people shut their mouths.

And the main hall gradually became quiet.

And when there is no sound at all.

"Oh, you gentlemen feel that my virtue is not worthy of God, so God sent this disaster!"

"Why, should I give up the throne for you to sit on? This is a virtuous act. Only in this way can we be grateful to heaven and earth and help the people below."

A cold voice slowly came out from the high seat. At this moment, Li Shimin's voice echoed in the hall.

For a time, the venue became even quieter.

"Say, why don't you say anything!"

"Keep talking!"

"The Cui family of Qinghe, with five surnames and seven hopes, is derived from the surname Jiang, and is a descendant of Qi Taigong. How about I give up the throne to you!"

"Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Yuma Tianxia, ​​why, you want it too."

The voice became colder and colder, and Li Shimin was extremely angry at this time.

Of course he understood what these people meant.

"I don't dare!"

"I don't dare!"

One after another figures lowered their heads and spoke quickly.

"Don't you dare, I haven't noticed that you don't dare at all!"

Li Shimin's words became colder and colder.

For a time, the entire hall could hear a needle drop.

A number of officials lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Li Shimin's sense of oppression made them almost breathless.

The person who spoke first, and the person named by Li Shimin later, were even more pale at this time, and their legs were trembling.

Look at this scene.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh, but she still stood up.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Natural disasters are caused by heaven and earth, not man-made. We just need to avoid the consequences of natural disasters!"

After speaking, Li Shimin's anger gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to organize manpower to build water conservancy projects immediately. In addition, we should also save food and grass to meet our needs in the coming year."

Seeing that Li Shimin's anger had disappeared, Fang Xuanling's voice continued to speak.

As this person spoke, the pressure in the entire court slowly receded.

Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, but many people's foreheads were soaked in cold sweat.

Li Shimin is about to become the emperor, and his aura is not something that their small bodies can withstand.

While breathing a sigh of relief, everyone stopped discussing the previous topics.

But it brings the words back again.

Although many people breathed a sigh of relief, they still gritted their teeth inside, and some even sneered.

In response, Li Shimin glanced slightly. Although his eyes were still a bit cold, he did not continue to have an attack.

The influence of the aristocratic family is really great.

It’s not that he can be easily shaken, just giving him a lesson is enough.

Now is not the time to take action.

With Li Shimin no longer angry, the court gradually entered a stable state.

Start to really get into handling government affairs.

I have to say that there were really many famous officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially with the cooperation of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the entire court meeting can be said to be extremely smooth. Even in the face of a severe drought and the possible locust plague next year, certain methods have been thought of to deal with it.

And time also passed slowly in this kind of court discussion.

It soon came to an end.

And when he is about to retire.

From the last row of the team, a figure stood out again.
Chapter completed!
