Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventeenth Party Items to Envoy
Zhao Zhen entered the Daqing Hall and sat down on the imperial throne facing north and south. The vast official bowed and bowed: "Long live my emperor!" This has formed a catchphrase, and no matter how military and civilians see themselves, they use such words to compliment them.
The word "Long Live" comes from the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, and the allusions are also very interesting. Zhao Zhen even thought that this was a double act played by Wu Zetian and the Hanlin Bachelor. According to legend, after Wu Zetian became emperor, he especially liked others to praise her to raise her "unfamous" status, but she was not easy to speak out.
One day, she summoned all the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy in the Golden Palace to answer the questions correctly. She blurted out the previous question: The Jade Girl beats the bulang by the river, and the bulang! The bulang! The bachelors searched their hearts and answered dozens of sentences. The Empress Wu was not satisfied with it, and she felt disappointed intuition.
At this time, a scholar who was accustomed to flattering saw her thoughts and hurriedly chanted: Long live in front of the Golden Palace, long live! Long live! Long live! Long live! Empress Wu was so happy that she was recommended as a masterpiece. From then on, the word "Long live" was spread throughout the court and the country.
Wu Zetian's first couplet is still a very difficult pair of words. Even a Hanlin scholar is very talented, he will not be able to chant such a rhyme second couplet in front of the court officials so quickly, and it also contains a sense of flattery. Therefore, in Zhao Zhen's opinion, all this has been arranged long ago, but it was just performed in front of the court officials.
The word "Long Live" became an attribution as soon as it was made, and it would not be enjoyed by the emperor. Zhao Zhen looked at the court officials in the hall and shook his head and smiled bitterly, but since that was the case, he had to accept it. He did not intend to attack his imperial power and do meaningless things.
As Zhao Zhen sat down, Sancai said loudly: "Chang Chang Ding Ding." Chang Chao began. In fact, this Chang Chao was very simple, just a name, just like attendance in later generations, indicating that officials came to pay homage to the emperor and then they had to prepare for normal work.
Unlike the court officials, the officials from Beijing who came to participate in the Chang Dynasty had eaten in the Wai Lu Courtyard, and even had rich mutton soup and delicious fruits. Compared with the court officials who came far away, Zhao Zhen, who lived in the palace, did not have such treatment. Who asked him to order it? If he had eaten, he would make the court officials wait for a long time. Although it was not impossible, it was not done by the benevolent king.
Although Dian Mao is very simple, it takes a long time, all because of too many officials in the Jing Dynasty. At one hour, Dian Mao ended, and Zhao Zhen was so hungry that he was touching his back. If he continued to look at the Chao Dynasty, he would definitely have low blood sugar.
With the end of the Chang Dynasty, the officials who were supposed to go to his yamen to work left. The rest were officials who needed to participate in the inspection of the court, most of whom were important officials of the court. Zhao Zhen casually took a look and was full of people who could be named.
Pang Ji Ding Wei Xia Shu, the three most famous ministers, are not mentioned. There are no fewer talented people such as Yan Shu, Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan, Su Xun, etc., these are all their own think tanks! Of course, there are also many generals under his command, Cao Wei, Di Qing, and Yang Huaiyu, the three are the most outstanding.
Peng Qi has officially entered the military general sequence and was named General Guide, the third-rank general of the Jinwu Guard. Zhao Li was named General Zhongwu Guard of the fourth-rank general by Zhao Zhen because he broke his arm. Although Li Jiu had no achievements, he was well-educated and laid a solid foundation for this Northern Expedition. Zhao Zhen appointed him as General Xuanwei as General Guard.
Of course, other officials are not bad. The civil officials all come from the new imperial examination system. They are not only knowledgeable but also have excellent talents. Not to mention the generals, they are top talents from the Military Academy and have been trained in the army.
Today is the first time Zhao Zhen visited the court after returning to Beijing in the Northern Expedition. Obviously, the court officials were very considerate of the officials and did not have many memorials. Most of them were about the development of Yanyun. This is the most important thing at the moment and cannot be delayed. Fan Zhongyan's "Yanyun Highway Commentary" concisely pointed out the importance of highways to Yanyun, and required the court to set up highways in Xijin Prefecture and Datong Prefecture to strive to reach the same level as in the Song Dynasty within two years.
Xia Shu’s memorial was about the arrangements of officials in Yanyun and even Fengshengzhou. One party’s parents could not be idle and vacancies. It should be arranged very early to strengthen the imperial court’s control over the local area. At the same time, it should also manage local affairs, so that the Song Dynasty could increase its influence on the recovered land.
After these two most important things were over, Cao Wei submitted a memorial on military affairs. The Sixteen Guards of the Song Dynasty were still stationed in Yanyun. These were all soldiers, but they were all children of the people in Guanzhong, the Song Dynasty. It was okay to mobilize temporarily, but they could not be stationed for a long time. It was urgent to recruit local soldiers. After proper training, the Sixteen Guards of the farmer family could be equipped directly and returned to the Song Dynasty to continue their life in the farmers.
The proposal of killing two birds with one stone made Zhao Zhen and his husband look at each other. Unexpectedly, the three days after leaving, the more time-saving and labor-saving, others really didn't expect that Zhao Zhen smiled in his heart. The further Cao Wei was so far away from the general group.
Zhao Zhen was naturally happy to see it. It was obvious that Cao Wei understood who could give him what he wanted. Since this is the case, of course he should use it to promote him. Suppressing him does not require the so-called emphasis on culture and over military affairs. It is enough to just be jealous of the generals in Tokyo.
The court officials' memorial was soon over, and no one wanted to destroy the mood of the official family on this day. Finally, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple reported: "Get up and report to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Dangxiang, Ye Li, is begging for a visit!"
The messenger of Dangxiang people came? This is a new thing. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I want to see what tricks Li Yuanhao is playing."
The court officials naturally would not stop them. The Song Dynasty now has a great power atmosphere. Retrieving Yan Yun showed the strength of the Song Dynasty. The original weak mentality became stronger in an instant. You must know that the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty has always swept everything. Now that it has been defeated by the Song Dynasty and even the emperor has died in battle, isn’t it enough to show the ability of the Song Dynasty? What is a mere Dangxiang people?
Not long after, he wore a golden post-clothed hat and a purple soap-colored embroidered ball and purple flower spinning. Ye Liyu walked into the hall. This was obviously a clothing that only worn on a very grand occasion. The clothes that Dangxiang people usually wore were not exquisite.
"Foreign minister Ye Lihui begs to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
"Flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The simple conversation showed the humility that Dangxiang people were rare. Zhao Zhen asked with a smile: "You Dangxiang messenger is rare! I'm afraid you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace this time, right? Let's talk, what do you think of your king Li Yuanhao?"
When talking about the king of Taoism, Ye Li Yuqi's face looked slightly ugly. Dangxiang is now the Kingdom of Xixia, and Li Yuanhao has ascended the throne to the emperor. How can he be called the king of the country? But Ye Li Yuqi still leaned over and said slightly, "My lord has also received the letter of the country. I am willing to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty and fight against the Liao thieves!"
