Chapter 628 A new era kicked off

Before dawn, in the Huangji Hall of Baidi Palace, in the vast hall, all the officials of the cultural relics had already bowed in order, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Today is extremely abnormal, because it was already time for the morning dynasty to begin, but the young Emperor Fuyao had not arrived yet, and Zhao Yu was always punctual. Therefore, although the old eunuch standing above had already explained in advance, the six ministers lined up at the front below still looked at each other and asked.

"Do you know why Your Majesty delayed his courtship today?"

"We don't know the family affairs of the emperor, and we dare not ask!"

Various silent communications in the Huangji Hall were intertwined. The old eunuch located at the top suddenly opened his mouth, and a loud voice sounded in the hall in an instant:

"Go to court, all the officials kneel down and welcome!"

After an instant, the faces of civil and military officials instantly returned to solemnity. They knelt down together and asked the audience in an orderly manner:

"Welcome to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Under the sound of the tsunami of Baiguans, Zhao Yu's straight body slowly walked up to the steps in the hall, and the jade pendants on his waist intersected, making a pleasant tinging sound. At the same time, the golden phoenix and the mysterious bird flying back and forth above the head of the Huangji Palace were radiating their wings and flying in an instant, and they made a burst of crying, as if we were welcoming the owner of the Huangji Palace to return again.

Zhao Yu, who was sitting upright on the throne, glanced faintly over the officials who were lying on the ground below, his lips opened lightly, and the calm and steady voice of the emperor was delivered:

"Let's go flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials stood up, their hands were hanging in front of them, and their whole body leaned forward to show respect. Then they heard the old eunuch speak as usual:

"All officials have any questions, please report!"

Because Zhao Yu left Beijing for a while, everything was piled up, and in order to make the morning court smoother, the officials of these six ministries had already passed each other before going to court. Therefore, after the old eunuch finished speaking, the Minister of Rites You Tingjian and the people around him looked at each other, took the lead in lifting his feet out, and spoke loudly:

"Report to Your Majesty, I have submitted a memorial to the New Year Festival before. The Great Xia is prosperous and is about to enter 90 years. It happened that Your Majesty had just as soon as he was the first to ascend the great treasure. Therefore, all cities in the thirty-six prefectures want to hold a grand celebration to congratulate him. I wonder what your Majesty is thinking?"

The New Year's Eve is undoubtedly the most important thing at the moment. The Daxia people's New Year's Eve customs are numerous, and this year is extremely special. Therefore, officials of the Ministry of Rites can be said to be busy with this recently. At this time, it is very close to the New Year's Eve. Therefore, as the Minister of Rites, You Tingjian, even puts the matter of finding a daughter aside and takes the lead in reporting to Zhao Yu.

After You Tingjian reported, all the officials were waiting for the decision of the young emperor. Because the New Year celebration was a happy event, the expressions of everyone below were quite relaxed. However, the young emperor sitting on the throne above was still solemn and powerful without anger. Moreover, waves of increasingly strong imperial power swept down below, causing the expressions of all the officials to gradually solidify.

They had clearly felt that the strong emotions contained in the heart of the young emperor were like a volcano that was suppressed. Although it had not erupted, the light leaked a trace of its remaining power, and it was suppressed in everyone's hearts like a mountain.

After a few breaths, Zhao Yu, who was trapped in thought, looked up slightly, looked at You Tingjian below, and spoke:

"The New Year's Day celebration is the most grand festival in our Great Xia. You Tingjian, I agree to what you said!"

The faint voice from the young emperor from above made all the officials below breathe a sigh of relief. Then Zhao Yu's panic voice resounded through the entire Huangji Palace again:

"In addition to the ordinary celebrations on the New Year, after the beginning of next year, the agricultural tax in Daxia will be reduced by 20% and the military pay of soldiers will be increased by 20%. At the same time, the Ministry of War and the Sitianjian are responsible for screening appropriate prisoners. I am preparing to pardon the world. Another point is that the Ministry of War must prepare in advance. I am preparing to implement the elite military policy and will gradually disarmament."

Zhao Yu's words, each of them is like a bombshell. Whether it is tax cuts, Zeng's military pay, or a somewhat horrifying disarmament, it will involve countless changes in the people of the Great Xia people. However, after the young emperor slowly spoke it, it made all civil and military officials feel an inexplicable sense of trust. Therefore, all officials bowed forward and said:

"Your Majesty is kind and loving the people, which is a blessing for the Daxia. I will follow the sages and will never refuse to die!"

As the officials reported their duties, time passed, the sky outside the Huangji Hall gradually became brighter, and the entire Shenjing City gradually began to show vitality and vitality. At the same time, the chirping of some cold-resistant poultry sounded one after another among the snow. In the hall, Zhao Yu stood up from above the throne, stood on the edge of the platform, looked down, and asked:

"Fang Qian, I ask you, how was the Shenjing Station built on Taiping Ruins?"

Then the Minister of Justice Fang Qian took a step forward and bowed and reported:

"Return to Your Majesty, everything in Shenjing Station is complete and can be put into use immediately."

"What about the teleportation department I asked you to arrange earlier? All the personnel are in place. I am referring not only to Shenjing City, but also to other sites."

After Zhao Yu's inquiry fell, Fang Qian thought for a few breaths and continued to speak, with confidence in his voice:

"The personnel of the teleportation department are also complete, and at the same time, almost all the people in the big cities in the thirty-six prefectures in the Daxia City have their own creations and received their own identity jade discs."

"Si Tianjian, tell me that the stone statue tower escorted by Youchi Army and Si Tianjian can be resettled in Jiangling City, southeast of Daxia and Qiushui City in Chuzhou in central China?"

Among the officials lined up, an old man wearing the Sitianjian robe stepped forward and spoke loudly:

"Go back to Your Majesty, the farthest Jiangling City was also settled last night. Now there is only the farthest endless mountain Yulong Pass left!"

After reporting, Zhao Yu nodded, then raised his hand and waved his sleeves in the imperial robe. The voice sounded again at the Huangji Palace:

"When will this snow in Shenjing City stop?"

“It will be tomorrow.”

"Then the notice that the teleportation stations in Daxia, which are currently located in all directions will be open to all citizens in the next two days. Within half a year, the teleportation department of all sites will be the first to sell a portion of the teleportation scrolls, one or two pieces, to ensure that the number of people will not be too large.

"At the same time, the Cabinet drafted the charter today, stipulating that in the preliminary stage, all teleported people cannot carry any items for sale. They must be registered and recorded by the Teleportation Division before and after the teleportation Division. At the same time, they must not stay in Shenjing City for more than seven days without the approval of the Teleportation Division."

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced down, then his eyes stopped at the line of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the voice continued to roll down:

"You will discuss it with the cabinet, and there are some other constitutions that can be proposed for me to take a look. I don't want Daxia to be hit too strongly at once."

"I will obey the order!"

Today's morning court ended very late. When the officials were waiting for the squad, they walked to the square where the carriages were parked. It was already dawn and the snow had weakened a lot.

Under the heavy snow, the officials walking back had surprisingly consistent expressions, with frightened expectation in their horror.

The Minister of Rites You Tingjian and the Minister of Justice Fang Qian stood in front of the carriage. The two of them murmured in unison:
Chapter completed!
