Chapter 392 The first person of honor

Pei Jin is the biggest enemy in front of Li Xin. In fact, General Pei has no grudges with Li Xin, and Li Xin has no disgust towards him, but there is no way. If he blocks the way, he will block the way.

As the saying goes, blocking people's way of wealth is like killing parents. Blocking the way of officialdom is much more serious than blocking the way of wealth. Throughout history, many people in the court have become enemies because of this reason.

However, Li Xin was not in a hurry to deal with Pei Sanlang. What should be in a hurry is the Emperor Taikang sitting on the dragon throne. Li Xin just needs to follow Emperor Taikang and shaking the flag to cheer. Pei Jin will not step down and has little to do with Li Xin.

In other words, he was not in a hurry to take charge of the imperial guards.

After the bell rang, all officials entered the Weiyang Palace one after another. This palace, which was originally the West Palace, was already the main hall of the Great Jin Dynasty. In the past six months, it has completely replaced the original Changle Palace.

In Weiyang Palace, all civil and military officials stood according to their seats.

But Li Xin didn't know where he wanted to be now.

His identity is very special.

Being named Marquis of Jing'an means that he became a nobleman and also led the Yulin Guard. Then he was a military general, but he still had the position of Assistant Minister of War.

The Minister of War sounds like a military officer, but in fact he is a real civil servant.

Logically speaking, military generals and nobles generally give false titles to the Ministry of War at most, and do not give real positions, but Li Xin was a regular assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

So wherever he stands, it becomes a problem.

The fifth-rank official Fang Shiweilang led Li Xin with a smile and walked to the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War on the left.

There are only twelve servants in the six divisions in total. According to the ranking, Li Xin was already standing in a relatively front position on the left. He didn't think there was anything wrong, so he stood up with a big thorn.

Until Hou Jingde waved to him.

"Brother Li, come here."

There are five people standing on the left and right sides. There are naturally five prime ministers on the civil servant side, and the military officer side is different. Four of the five are generals of the court, but the one on the right side must be nobles.

This is an unwritten rule in the Great Jin Dynasty.

The five people divided the team into five rows. The row on the far right of the military officers was all the nobles. This row was not divided according to the official position, but according to the size of the title. For example, if a royal prince works in the court and is qualified to attend court, he must be the first in the row of nobles.

But unfortunately, the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty did not serve as officials in the court. When several princes were appointed as ministers in the court, they also stood under the imperial stairs and did not stand with the officials.

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and walked towards Hou Jingde.

Hou Jingde smiled at Li Xin and pulled him to the first place in the row of nobles.

"Brother Li, you should stand here."

Li Xin frowned and said, "General Hou, you are also a marquis, and you are older than me, so you should stand in front."

Hou Jingde laughed and said, "Brother Li, how many hectares of fiefdom are you?"

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be fifteen hectares."

"My family only has ten acres of land."

Although there is no distinction between the titles of the titles, the fiefs of the same titles are different. Take the marquis for example. The most top-notch marquis' fief is more than twenty hectares, and the most typical one is the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, with one hectares of land being fifty acres. Because of its great contribution, the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion has at least two or three thousand acres of land in its family, which is more than fifty hectares.

This is the top marquis.

The second-rate person is Li Xin, who was granted fifteen hectares of Yongye Field, and Ye Lin of the Ye family was also granted fifteen hectares of fifteen hectares.

The next one is the Marquis of Zhongyong and Marquis Jingde, who was granted ten acres of land, which is the Marquis of the lowest status.

Hou Jingde laughed and said, "Now there are not many nobles in the court. Apart from the Hou of Pingnan, you are the most precious brother Li, so don't refuse."

Li Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand first in the nobles.

That is, the fifth in the first row of military officers.

The four people next to Li Xin were all top leaders of the Jin army, among which the Imperial Army General Pei Jin was listed.

After a while, the eunuch Xiao Zheng walked out and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is here..."

Emperor Taikang, wearing a mysterious black dragon robe, slowly walked towards the dragon throne on the imperial stairs with the support of the eunuch.

After the emperor sat down, all the civil and military officials knelt down in a tacit understanding and shouted long live the mountain.

Li Xin also knelt down.

In private, he may not be particular, but in such a big scene where all civil and military officials are present, if he is not particular, then he cannot blame Emperor Taikang for being indifferent to doing things in the future.

The emperor waved his hand calmly: "Please be calm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and glanced down. When he saw Li Xin standing in the first row, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that Li Xin was standing on the side of the noble, so he smiled indifferently.

"You guys, today is early August. The heat is gradually fading, and the weather is much better. My mood has also been much more relaxed."

Emperor Taikang smiled and said, "I went to see Duke Chen a few days ago. Mr. Ye is still strong and healthy. It is really a blessing for my great Jin. Duke Chen intends to accept a disciple and pass on his military tactics. This is a major event for my great Jin. I am planning to hold an autumn hunt and preside over Duke Chen's admission of disciples. What do you think?"

Logically speaking, no one would object to this kind of thing.

But someone stood up.

Yang Rong, the new censor of the Censorate.

This censor was also a ruthless person who had been in the Censorate for life. When Yan Gu was the Censor, he was the Chief Censor. After Old Yan Gu resigned, Yang Rong naturally took a step forward and became the Censor.

He is only in his early fifties this year and can be regarded as a very young censor.

The censor came out and bent over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there has been flood in the south recently, drought in the north, and a dragon in the southwest has turned over. I think this is an ominous sign. Your Majesty should fast and bathe, burn incense and pray to heaven, so as to seek blessings from heaven. You should not play around with hunting everywhere, so as not to attract more ominous things."

Everyone in later generations knows that natural disasters are natural disasters, but people in this era will not pay attention to this. Since a book called "Spring and Autumn Festival" was published, all natural disasters in the world will be blamed on people, and this person is naturally the co-lord of the world and the supreme emperor.

Not only do scholars believe in this set, but even some emperors themselves believe it. However, whether they believe it or not, the emperor must recognize this set of theories, because this theory of the induction of heaven and man is the source of the saying "Son of Heaven" and the foundation of "the power of the monarch and the granting of heaven".

This set of things that a bad-minded emperor made in order to consolidate his position in the end became one of the shackles of all emperors.

Emperor Taikang said with a frown: "Yang Qing, there are disasters everywhere. I have all the disasters that should be provided, and I have exempted taxes. I can't blame everything on me, right?"

Yang Rong knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country and the country of the Great Jin, and for the sake of the billions of people of the Great Jin!"

Li Xin couldn't stand it anymore.

Some people are doing it too much.

"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Yang is wrong."

Li Xin went out of work and lowered his head and said, "During the Chengde period, my Jin Dynasty had good weather. Why did the Taikang period cause disasters everywhere?"

Yang Rong said angrily: "This is God's warning!"

Li Xin sneered: "My elders mean that Your Majesty is not virtuous, which makes God angry, so the Great Jin Dynasty suffer disasters?"

Yang Rong groaned muffled and lowered his head to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister just asked Your Majesty to burn incense and worship the sky. Other words were said by this Marquis of Jing'an."

In this era, no one except the emperor himself dares to say that the emperor is not.

Even if the emperor is angry and resentful, the emperor is blinded by the treacherous ministers.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said to Emperor Taikang.
