Neighbors with powerful ministers

For this group of smelling rabbits, going to court is really a novel thing.Although there are many complaints on the lips, in fact, there is still some excitement in my heart that is similar to Shangsi's spring outing.

Anyway, this side hall is full of family members, and there is very little embarrassment. Everyone basically didn't hide their curiosity, and countless unimaginable questions popped out of their mouths.The most exaggerated thing is that Xie Jie's cousin who is older than him is directing people to paint for him and the hall.

"Hey, can you draw?"

Xie Jie's nephew is exactly the same mellow as Shenzong, but without Shenzong's self-knowledge, he always feels that he is still a baby as light as a swallow, and finds fault with the painter who specially brought Shenzong from the painting academy with Shenzong last night.

"Although I'm not as slender as my cousin, I'm not as strong as both of them either!"

The painter cast a look of help to Xie Jie, this is already the result of artistic processing, okay?Two more?Three are more than enough, thank you so much.

Xie Jie took a silent look at his cousin, and then joined the crusade team without hesitation and righteous words: "Yes, why is our Dalang fat? He's about the same as me."

Opening his eyes and talking nonsense is very sincere, because Xie Jie really thinks that his cousin is not fat, at most he is a little rich.But can the rich state of the clan be called rich state?That is thousands of pets in one body!

This boast made even his cousin blush a little.

The others saw that Xie Jie was so easy to talk today, so they hurriedly continued to gather together for the court consultation.But... Xie Jie didn't go to court much, his limited experience in court was when he was a few years old, and his uncle carried him to court and was scolded.Where does he remember what the real court looks like?

Unable to resist, Xie Jie simply sat next to Qing Zongzhengsi. For a moment, the world became quiet.

Zongzhengsi is the signature of a serious official. Zongzhengsiqing is the highest official of Zongzhengsi. From the third rank, he is not a big official, but his status is detached. He must be present no matter what meeting the court holds.

Because Zongzheng Temple is the imperial department responsible for managing the royal family and the clan, the minister of Zongzheng Temple represents the opinions of the entire clan.Of course, Zongzheng Temple also has the genealogy of managing foreign relatives, guarding the mausoleum of the royal family and other miscellaneous tasks. In Daqi, even monks, Taoists and other metaphysics have to intervene.Generally, the candidate for Zongzheng Siqing must be the one with high seniority and good popularity among the royal family.Daqi is no exception.

The current Zongzheng Siqing is an upright old man, his seniority is directly proportional to his age, he is Taizong's half brother, the kind of existence that even Shenzong would call him uncle when he met him.

Taizu was very generous to his brothers. After the founding of the country, he made king regardless of his concubines, but he was very stingy with his sons. Except for the son of Taizong, the son born to his first wife, who was crowned prince, the sons born to other women As if it wasn't his, he guarded against them like thieves. He didn't give any king or land to him until his death. seal up.

Taizong also violated Taizu's last wish a little before his death, and made his favorite younger brother King of Thailand.

The king of Thailand is now Zongzheng Siqing, an old man who is a little hard of hearing. He often wears a string of Bodhi in his hand and recites the Three Purities.Although the king of Thailand has been standing above the court, he is very low-key, because this is the practice of the Daqiyang clan.

——The imperial clan is not allowed to participate in politics, and they only have vain positions. Most of them marry warriors, but they are blocked from all channels of communication with foreign ministers.

After decades of subtle influence, even the clansmen themselves have gotten used to this self-contained life.Their children were not found in small households, or they were seen in the homes of honorable warriors left after they conquered the world with Taizu and Taizong. Most of their daily contacts were with their own people, enjoying themselves and being very xenophobic.

At first, they had to be xenophobic, but later it became a habit. Those who were not nobles of the royal family could not enter their circle at all.When the signs were smashed down, eight out of ten were surnamed Wen, and the rest were of course in-laws like Xie Jie.

The king of Thailand is a leader in implementing the concept of the isolated island of the clan, and is also one of the earliest advocates.

Because he knew very well why among so many concubines, he was the only one who got the throne that Taizong desperately wanted to give.Xie Jie and Tai Wang had no personal contact, they were just normal relatives, they would give each other a warm and affectionate respect when they met each other, and in the past they would not bother each other if they could not visit.

When King Tai saw Xie Jie approaching, he didn't raise his eyelids, but made a gesture of protection, so that other bastards would not dare to disturb him.

Xie Jie reciprocated and voted Fang Chaoci to him in advance, and also reminded the uncle in a low voice: "No matter what, don't make a sound for a while."

The king of Thailand has practiced Ba Fengfu for half his life. No matter how upside down he is inside, he is always flattered and humiliated on the face, and he doesn't know whether he has heard Xie Jie's words.

In the subsequent court hall, the King of Thailand proved with facts that he had heard Xie Jie's good deeds every day.

After waiting for a while, when the crowd was all together, he moved to the main hall, ready to go to court.Following the beating of the gong and roll call by the servants, all the officials knelt down in the hall to welcome Shenzong and Empress Dowager Nie into the hall. Shenzong sat on the dragon chair, and Empress Dowager Nie hid behind the bead curtain.

This is no different from any early dynasty, except... the prince who is wrapped in red swaddling clothes in the arms of the queen mother.

Nian'er didn't know if she was still sleeping or really well-behaved, she never gnawed or groaned, and she was not disturbed by the voice of going up the mountain shouting long live.

After Shenzong talked about his life, he said: "Give me a seat."

The rules of the previous dynasties were different, and the ministers went from sitting with the emperor, to kneeling, to standing.When it was passed to Daqi, it has become common sense to stand up to court.Even if you are seventy or eighty, as long as you still have the ambition to do something in the court instead of going home to eat yourself, then you must have a physique that can stand for the entire morning court.However, there are also people who can sit down, and the judgment standard is very casual-the emperor's favorite.

The King of Thailand was the only one who could sit down before, but he didn't sit because Shenzong liked him, but because his brother liked him. The subsequent Emperor Ren, Emperor Wen and Shenzong just followed the old rules.

Today is different from the past, the little servant brings up two chairs, one belongs to the King of Thailand, and the other...

All the ministers and clan looked at Xie Jie with the same aspirations.

Xie Jie was not afraid to look, and he was not polite, so he sat down next to the Thai king in the first row, without even showing any sign of humility.There is no way, he has been raised like this since he was a child, the best, most expensive, and what he likes will definitely be his. If there is only one chair, maybe for the sake of relatives, Xie Jie will let it Look at the old Thai king, but now he has two chairs.Sit on one for the elders and one for him, nothing wrong!

After the "relaxed and joyful" episode, the atmosphere in the court hall was also solemn. Following the high-pitched words of the servant, "If you have a book to play, and you have nothing to do with the court", the main course was finally placed in front of everyone.

Sun Shenzheng took a step forward and brought up the old matter again, asking the official family to enshrine Zen.

Shao Zaizhi, who will always stand first among civil servants, and the old fox who will not end easily, started the vigorous battle with a sentence, "The ceremony of enshrining Zen has been abandoned for a long time. If it weren't for the peace of the Holy Dynasty, how could it be revived?!" prelude.

Nephew Wen whispered to Xie Jie: "Did you understand?"

Xie Jie replied to him in a sonorous and forceful voice: "No!"

Thai King: "..."

It is obviously wrong to whisper to each other at the top. If they were not relatives of Shenzong, they would have been scolded long ago.Because no matter how quiet their voices are, their actions are still too obvious.

Daqi's official hat is a long-winged hat, that is, behind the black gauze hat, there are two long black rods like wings on the left and right. If you are not careful, you may bump into someone or something.Such an embarrassing hat was invented by Taizu. The original intention of the invention was very simple - to prevent ministers from whispering in the court.

Wearing such a hat to move, it can be said that the whole body is moved without pulling a hair.

Only these clans who have basically never been to the court, usually attend palace banquets and have a lot of space, will speak in the court hall without experience.

As for the imperial family, the style of painting is different from others, and the circle that is only united around King Tai and Xie Jie, the courtiers can see them talking at a glance, but they have no time to attend them.Because at this moment, there has already been a pot of porridge in just a few breaths.

Xie Jie couldn't understand what was the noise. He felt that the general idea was something like this:

Sun Canzheng: Please Mount Tai enshrine Zen.

Shao Zaizhi: I object.

People who agree with Sun's participation in politics: I oppose Zaizhi's opposition.

People who agree with Shao Zaizhi: I continue to object.

Opposition came and went, but there was no result. Xie Jie really didn't know why they had to pull out the clan that didn't care about anything to make up for it. They couldn't just let them vote with a show of hands, right?

...It's so special.

The civil servants had automatically divided into two teams, and the military officer Xungui followed the civil servants belatedly, and the number of them was almost five or five, so the rest would depend on the attitude of the clan.

A group of people who thought they had nothing to do with them were suddenly exposed to everyone's sight. If they weren't afraid of losing face, they would have felt like a nest of shivering rabbits being watched by a pack of wolves, so frightened that they were about to cry.

The people over there probably guessed the basic level of education here, and someone purposely said something briefly, asking them to express their opinions.

In fact, let them stand in line.

What can the king say?

King Tai fainted immediately.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

"dad!"

A group of clans who usually don't have any brains, at this moment, it's like Taizu and Taizong possessed at the same time. I'm sick", "I have to carry it down quickly", "I'll come, I'm in good shape!", the group carried King Tai down with all their hands and feet.

Wu Yangyang came, and Wu Yangyang retreated, and they really retired. Anyway, they didn't expect to be able to go on an official career. In terms of rules, they have nothing to fear except the emperor.

Only Shenzong thinks, please take me QAQ

……

When a group of people arrived at the side hall, King Tai opened his eyes in a flash. It was obvious that he was fine.

The old man shook his old arms and legs, looked around at the junior with the expression of "=口=", and clicked his tongue: "You still have a lot to learn. It's done, ask someone to bring in some food and drink." , and some more rugs and blankets."

I won't be able to leave for a short time today.

The author has something to say: *The status of the clan: this is a deduction and exaggeration of the attitude towards the clan in the Song Dynasty.The clan in the Song Dynasty basically had no sense of existence. Even the emperor's brothers were very quiet. They basically married warriors, but they had no real power. Most importantly, the Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs.It's just a comparison.However, the text also has its own adaptations and nonsense.The best thing to do is don't believe a word of it.Laugh and cry.

*The words against Mount Tai's enshrining of Zen are also the original words of Wang Dan, the prime minister of Song Zhenzong in the "History of the Song Dynasty".Seal it and hammer it. 【Hello】
