Chapter 60: Proceedings at the Court (Part 1)
Li Yu smiled. After tidying up his clothes, Yu Canghai drove his car, starting from the gate of the Prince's Mansion and speeding all the way. The first thing he rushed to was the Yingxian Gate of the palace. This is the first gate at the entrance to the palace and the first gate.
Generally speaking, after passing this checkpoint, you have basically entered the palace.
It was also winding and fast along the way. Maybe Yu Canghai knew that Li Yu got up a little late. If he had driven slower, he might have really delayed the time to go to court. If he was even late to go to court, it would be very difficult on this great day.
It's not something you can get away with easily. If you don't do it right, you'll be severely punished.
Originally, Li Yu wanted to participate in the training camp for the new recruits, but since it was his first day back, he really needed to deal with a lot of things. Besides, there was also the matter of the third prince, and what Li Yu did to train them,
Those teenagers are already familiar with the road, and in many cases, they have already formed a habit, so they don't need to worry too much about these things.
At present, through the discussions in the court, we can get a sense of the direction of the trend, that is, what big things have happened recently and who has what big movements. This can all be well understood through the discussions in the court.
Soon the carriage and horses arrived at the Yingxian Gate, the first gate of the palace. Yu Canghai took out the pass letter. Not long after, the palace guard wanted to ride and rode. Yu Canghai clasped his fists and said, "You can go. By the way, I wish the emperor good morning.
But we still have to hurry up, as the time to go to court seems to be coming soon."
"Thank you!" After thanking the guard for the reminder, Yu Canghai drove directly and drove away. He had not yet reached the place where the carriage and horses were stopped. He only needed to stop the carriage and horses when he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Now he had to hurry up and hurry up.
.
There was a reason why the guard reminded Li Yu like this. Last time, after Li Yu and Yu Canghai went through the Yingxianmen incident, most people had a new understanding of this prince who was rumored to be a bit foolish, not to mention other subordinates.
On that day, there was a big commotion at Yingxianmen. I heard that the bodyguard of the prince received a slap from Manager Qin because he was under his protection.
What happened later was also very uproar. Who didn't know that the prince's ruthless attacks were not ordinary bloody. Although the prince did not live in the palace, he would be the one who would inherit the throne in the future, regardless of his position.
He has a special status, and speaking of toughness, he needs to be somewhat respectful when seeing this person, not to mention his status, so the guard kindly reminded him.
Soon they arrived at the place where they went to court. Although Li Yu was very familiar with this place, he still searched for some time. Finally, under the leadership of Yu Canghai, he found the entrance to the palace of Shang Dynasty. After seeing Li Yu enter,
Yu Canghai also parked the carriage and horses by the way. His task was to wait for Li Yu to come out, but he had nothing to do with the rest. He could lie down in the parked carriage and take a nap.
Yu Canghai's kind of treatment is not something that all coachmen have. Because of his relationship with Li Yu, and because Li Yu doesn't care about these things, Yu Canghai can enjoy a good sleep in the carriage, but among many
Among the grooms who brought the ministers to court, they were extremely unusual. No one saw a servant lying down and sleeping peacefully in the master's carriage so unscrupulously.
Obviously, Li Yu was born with a kind of fear when he arrived at a place like this. This may be the same as when he visited the Forbidden City and other dynasty capitals in his previous life, and was exaggerated by the mysterious, solemn and solemn atmosphere. Now, after traveling to this place,
It still has some psychological impact.
"It's time to go to court..." When they first entered the court hall, Wu Shouli's inherent shrill voice reached the ears of everyone who was anxiously waiting to go to court. Everyone began to follow the order that they were familiar with in the past and could no longer be familiar with.
Entered the main hall.
Li Yu did not hesitate, because he had already seen the emperor in front beginning to enter the main hall, and the central guards and servants behind him followed him. He hurriedly hurried slowly, and in the end it was not too late. If he came to this court every day
Li Yu will be annoyed to death if he discusses matters. He is a person who advocates freedom. If this is done step by step every day, it is estimated that he will not be able to persist for a long time.
Hurrying slowly, I finally caught up. Li Yu, who had already reached the top left of the first row, looked up at Emperor Li Zhi's face. He looked a little weird. I couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. The only thing he looked at was that he looked a little weird.
Strange, could it be because of the trip to the Si Mansion yesterday?
Li Yu had reason to believe that the emperor was fully aware of what happened last night. Judging from the details he even lurked in the clock and shops, there was no reason why he didn't know the situation. He probably just didn't know some details.
At the same time, Li Yu also saw many acquaintances, such as Prime Minister Ji Zongyuan, Taiwei Qian Zhentian, Blue Banner Army Commander Zhu Guowei and others. Under a casual glance, he actually saw them traveling together in Panyang County to exterminate the rebels.
Bing Yinnian and the commander-in-chief of the Red Flag Army Yunying, but looking at their faces, they looked very haggard.
What surprised Li Yu the most was that Su Yue, the head of the Imperial Academy, was also there, and not far from him was the subordinate of Taiwei Qian Zhentian. "That's not right, you are saying that this guy is coming.
, he is also among the civil servants, how come he is ranked among the military attachés, and is second only to the Taiwei? Is it for his own marriage ceremony? "
Seeing the year after Bingyin, Li Yu lowered his head and started to wonder again. Could it be that the traitor Li Zhong said that this Cloud Eagle had rebelled against the Western Regions, so why did he dare to come to the court today? Isn't this self-destruction? Look.
There was a good show to watch today. Li Yu remained calm, looking at the familiar people in the court, looking forward to the plot that was going to happen next.
After a while, everyone waited for the decision to be made. Emperor Li Zhi straightened his body, sat up straight, and said: "Dear dear ministers, the recent affairs in the court have been extremely unfavorable. Unfavorable news has been transmitted again and again. Today's meeting at the court will be
Focusing on the current disadvantages, we need to re-discuss three aspects."
When Emperor Li Zhi said this, the whole court was completely silent. Everyone was upright and dignified. They knew that the state was not going well at the moment and the emperor was in a bad mood. He was in a bad mood. How could he let you calm down?
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Father, there has been some bad news recently. The military camp has been calmed down. At least the 70,000 troops of the Red Flag Army have been retained. Although the Blue Flag Army has suffered losses,
We have lost some men and horses, but this is to abandon the dross and purify the team, so that in the future, we will be dedicated to protecting our country."
Li Yu's words were intentional. First, he was worried about the 70,000 people who had mutinied from the Red Flag Army and turned into the Phantom Army. Since Emperor Li Zhi did not allow him to intervene and handed over to Pan Guotao, the former deputy commander of the Blue Flag Army, the more than 70,000 people would be killed.
It is difficult to preserve, and the possibility of entrapment and killing is extremely high. Although he did not intervene in this matter, these 70,000 Ma Li Yu still did not want to be killed.
Another meaning is to intercede for Zhu Guowei. Although nothing happened this time, but after all, Zhu Guowei is the coach, and there have been large-scale defections in the team, and there is also the mutiny of Liu Huiming in the fifth army. After all,
The other national guards cannot escape their involvement. When he went to court, Li Yu had a hunch that the commander-in-chief of the Blue Flag Army might change. This was just Li Yu's feeling, because it was not for the national guards, but for him.
Li Yu is here.
Hearing Li Yu's words, how could the emperor Li Zhi not know the whole story? However, he still did not match Li Yu's words and said calmly: "We will discuss this matter later. The first thing I want to say is your marriage ceremony. This is also
This grand event for the whole country is the only exciting thing at the moment, so I have called Su Aiqing for this, and I have to leave all the authority to him to organize this matter."
Li Yu's guess was correct. Su Yue came here just for his wedding ceremony. It seemed that his marriage was really treated as a gimmick by the emperor. What did this guy want?
After thinking about it, Emperor Li Zhi said: "The first thing we want to talk about now is Yu'er's marriage. There will be a nationwide amnesty at that time. It is a top priority to arrange the prince's marriage well."
Immediately, Emperor Li Zhi said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, don't underestimate your marriage ceremony. You must know that this matter is not just your business. It involves the national dignity of our Dashen Dynasty. Now we Dashen
The vassal states and neighboring states of the DPRK have all sent out invitations. On the 18th day of this month, a marriage ceremony will be held at the Imperial Academy’s sacrificial square. They will all come to pay homage at that time. This is also an opportunity for exchanges and progress.”
"Exchange? What exchange! Why don't we just hold a marriage ceremony? Is there any other luck in this?" Li Yu didn't understand that one of his own marriages also affected other countries to communicate. What is there to exchange? What is there to exchange?
of?
In view of Li Yu's question, Su Yue stood up and saluted Li Yu: "Your Highness, you must not underestimate the marriage ceremony. The highlight of it is paying homage and congratulating neighboring countries. They all come to congratulate you."
, and there will also be a huge civil and military competition from various countries, which is the biggest highlight and an important place to show the strength and national prestige of our Great Shen Dynasty, so it is not as simple as His Highness said."
"Civil and martial arts competition?" When he heard that there was a competition, Li Yu suddenly felt that it was a bit interesting and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, the marriage ceremony is a grand event for the whole country. Not only will many masters in the world be invited, but also warriors from our dynasty will participate. The competition will include four major events: music, poetry, martial arts, and archery. It will be held in the sacrifice square of the Imperial College
Held in the four major competitions, the top three will be selected and will be personally rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor."
Having said this, Emperor Li Zhi's expression improved slightly, and he added: "Yesterday Su Aiqing discussed with me that this event breaks the previous rules and only invitees can participate. Anyone who has purchased a ticket for the event will be invited by me."
Scholars, farmers, merchants, peddlers, supervisors, etc. are all allowed to visit, but they only need to purchase admission tickets. This is also a matter of fame and fortune. It not only reflects the liberal freedom of our dynasty, but also contributes to the replenishment of the national treasury.
, it’s a matter of killing two birds with one stone.”
When talking about this, Li Yu finally understood. It turned out that the emperor was drawing on his experience in the Qin Song Competition held in the Zhinu Hall last time in order to make money for himself! No wonder it is such a grand event with so many troops and people.
Dadian, to put it bluntly, is just using yourself to make money for him.
Li Yu secretly thought: "I think this emperor is so eager to arrange a marriage for himself. It turns out that there is money to be made. In recent years, the entire Dashen Dynasty has not been in good condition. It is either floods or droughts.
Due to the rampant looting, many places have been unable to make ends meet, and the national treasury has provided disaster relief many times. Now it is empty in the name of the national treasury, but only five yuan of relief money is available. It is one thing to ask the third brother to donate money, and it is also another thing to use his marriage to make money.
