Chapter 157: The First Court Meeting
()ps: Thank you Mayflower 001 for the tip~~~~~
"The king has arrived!" As the high-pitched voice of the old eunuch who was allowed to stay in the palace for retirement rang out, at Mao Shi, Yunfeng, who was wearing a royal robe and a seven-pointed flat crown on his head, stepped into the palace.
Xuanshi Hall.
The officials stationed in Shanggui have basically arrived in Chang'an, including Yang Xianrong and Qin Yunfeng, a representative of the big family in Guanzhong. Dozens of people are sitting in a hall on both sides, and it has the appearance of a court. Behind them,
There are a hundred people in total who came here to listen, fifty people on each side...
The officials all have straight backs and solemn expressions, but when they explain in detail, they give people a feeling of being on pins and needles. In fact, it is not difficult to understand when you think about it. There are so many pairs of eyes watching behind them, and they are still condescending.
Look, anyone else would be very uncomfortable!
The common people who were attending the meeting were also sitting upright, lest they make any noise. It was novel and nervous for them to attend the court meeting for the first time. They were in the same hall with the dignitaries who usually could only look up at them, and they were sitting in a slightly higher position, which brought them a lot of trouble.
Under heavy psychological pressure, although everyone tried their best to keep their expressions calm, Yunfeng still found various complex emotions in their eyes, such as excitement, uneasiness, and guilty conscience.
Yunfeng's eyes flicked away, his expression unmoved, and he walked up the jade steps accompanied by two female Rakshasa with good looks but majestic faces.
A few days ago, Yang Ming, Qiao Xiu and others had advised Yunfeng to dissuade female Rakshasa from serving in the main hall of the Central Dynasty. They did not use the distinction between men and women as an excuse, knowing that it would be useless. Instead, they regarded female Rakshasa as warriors.
, does not understand court etiquette and is not suitable to accompany the king to court as an excuse. I hope he uses eunuchs...
But Yunfeng firmly opposed it. The eunuchs would always smell bad. Even if they changed their clothes and bathed frequently, it would not work. They were short of parts and could not hold back their urine. They would drip at any time.
Lala can't control it, but Yunfeng can't
If you are willing to sit in the main hall with the smell of sao wafting behind you, isn't this making you uncomfortable? Although this reason makes Yang Ming, Qiao Xiu and others laugh and cry, they also understand that Yunfeng is telling the truth, and the taste is indeed quite good.
It was so annoying that I didn’t insist on it anymore.
After seeing Yunfeng sit down, all the ministers, including the people who were listening, left the table and saluted: "The ministers (people) are waiting to pay their respects to the king!"
Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "Without courtesy, please sit down."
Everyone thanked them and took their seats one after another. The female Rakshasa suddenly shouted: "Announcing the rules of the audience, no loud noises, no whispering. If you leave the table for any reason, you must raise your hands to ask for permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be expelled from the hall immediately!"
With these words, coupled with the female Rakshasa's frightening evil aura, the people in the auditorium were all silent, and some even covered their mouths unconsciously.
Yunfeng smiled lightly and said: "The court is an important place for discussing state affairs. It is essential to maintain a solemn and solemn atmosphere. Please be careful and don't be too nervous." After saying that, Yunfeng's face became solemn and his eyes were fixed on Zhuge.
Xian, Jiang Fa and Qiao Xiu called out: "Teacher, Master Zhuge, Duke Jiang and the disciples of Tianji Sect come into the hall and come forward."
The three of them looked at each other. Only Jiang Fa seemed to know something. There was a trace of uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. He nodded slightly to the two of them, and the three old guys left the table and stood up. They walked to the steps and walked out of the hall.
A dozen Tianji Sect disciples rushed in and saluted with uncontrollable excitement: "I have met the king."
Yunfeng said unhurriedly: "Master Zhuge and his teacher have made important achievements in the research of astronomy. Now they have given the Marquis of Bacheng and the Marquis of Weicheng respectively thirty-five standard shops in the city, and more than ten disciples of Jiang Gong and his disciples."
He has made a major breakthrough in the research of military equipment, and now he is bestowed upon Jiang Gongxiang, Marquis of Wu, and his disciple Jiang "
Yunfeng granted more than a dozen titles at once, ranging from County Marquis to Guan Nei Marquis, uncle, son, and male depending on the role they played.
The ministers were immediately in an uproar! Can this also be granted a title? Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, only military merit can be granted a title. If civil servants want to be granted a title, it is difficult to do so! Even if there are generals and governors flying all over the world, few people have the title.
ah!
However, these ten people saluted and thanked Yunfeng with joy, especially the three old guys Zhuge Xian, Jiang Fa and Qiao Xiu, who were ranked among the candidates, which meant that they could be awarded additional titles in the future. This was for those who were influenced by Confucianism.
For them, it is extremely important.
Amidst the discussions among the officials and the astonished eyes of the people who were watching, not long after, the Tianji Sect disciples turned and left, and Qiao Xiu and the other three also returned to their respective seats. Yun Feng pressed his hands again and said loudly: "Please be quiet, everyone.
From now on, all walks of life and people in our Qin Kingdom who have made outstanding contributions and major achievements, especially in the four fields of nature, mathematics, astronomy and crafts, can be commended by the royal court with titles!"
After saying this, there was an uproar in the palace again. Yunfeng did not rush him, but secretly observed the changes in everyone's facial expressions. After a while, the voices gradually calmed down, and Yunfeng continued to ask: "What do you need to report, sir?"
The "Prince King" Yang Ming took the lead and kicked off the report. Next, the ministers reported in turn. What they said was nothing more than how much food should be allocated for the reconstruction and resettlement of such and such a place, and what the living conditions of the people were like.
, the work arrangements of each department, as well as the specific amount of relief needed for a certain place in a local state or county that suffered a natural disaster, are all trivial matters.
Although Yunfeng smiled on the outside, asked about specific situations one by one, and gave instructions in an orderly manner, he was secretly crying in his heart. In his opinion, these matters did not need to be taken care of by himself at all, but should be solved by the relevant tasks themselves, as long as each party
The department makes a budget for the next year and establishes an efficient
An audit and supervision system is enough, but this vision does not yet have the conditions for implementation within one or two years. First, Chang'an has not yet created a stable business atmosphere. Second, the audience is only in the listening stage. In order to truly exert its influence
The effectiveness of supervision also requires the gradual guidance and improvement of this system.
Contrary to Yunfeng, the people not only did not feel bored, but listened with great interest. It turned out that this was the court's discussion! They were extremely proud to have the honor to participate in this occasion, and they often discussed things that were related to themselves or that they were interested in.
When talking about the topic, I will put myself
They went in to think about countermeasures, especially the knighthood they had just received. They saw another way to get ahead. Although they had thousands of words in their hearts, Yunfeng was not allowed to speak, so he had to hold it in. Some of them blushed.
Blush and restless!
The performance of the people fell into Yunfeng's eyes in every detail. This was exactly his purpose. If he wanted to promote something, he must suppress it first.
After giving instructions on Chen Zhen's memorial about Taixue, no one in the palace played anymore. Yunfeng then said quietly: "Have you all finished speaking? Then let me just say a few words. I found something
There are problems with the expressions, which are often mixed with many uncertain imaginary words such as basically, almost, probably, most of one, etc."
As he spoke, Yunfeng took out a document on the case and opened it: "This is from whose hand I won't name you for now. The content is about the reconstruction of Chang'an. It is said that the garbage bricks from each neighborhood have been basically completed."
I would like to know more about the cleanup work. Basically, how much has been completed? Is it all completed? Is it 90% completed or 80% completed? How many neighborhoods are left that have not been completed? I wonder if I can give an accurate estimate.
Chapter completed!
