Chapter 1074 New Year’s Morning Meeting(1/2)
In the second year of Tianyou (901), the grand dynasty meeting.
The state is in charge. On the winter solstice and New Year's Day, all officials gathered in the court to congratulate the emperor on the winter solstice and New Year's Day, which is called "Morning Congratulations".
If you prepare wine and food after a court congratulations, it is called the "Churchung Meeting". The court meeting on the day of the dynasty/New Year's Day/New Year's Day is also called the "Churchung Meeting".
At the beginning, local officials would attend the New Year's Day dynasty meeting, usually the dynasty envoy sent by the governors of each state.
In addition to congratulating the emperor on the New Year, the envoy of the Chaoge also reported on work, delivered official documents, and socialized everywhere to create relationships.
After the difficulties, there were fewer and fewer such activities, especially the Hebei vassal states, and almost no one was sent here. The Henan vassal states were sent here. Only the Jiangnan and Shu were still very diligent and the court kept gatherings.
This year, many dynasty envoys came and were also reporting on their work, but the target of reporting was Shao Shude, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"This year, Henan Prefecture collects 400,000 ounces of taxes, and Ruzhou collects 200,000 ounces, which is not bad." Shao Shude looked at Gao Shao, the commissar of the Henan Prefecture, and Liu Xiang, the commissar of the Ruzhou Prefecture, and said: "In the past few decades, Dongdu Town has only had this number of annual income, and it has recovered well.
Dongdu Town used to have only governed two states, namely Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou. In addition to the grain deduction, various copper coins and physical items were converted into about 500,000 yuan. Now these two states can collect 600,000 yuan, which is really good.
Of course, this is related to Shao Shude's persistent immigration. Now the population of Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou should have exceeded that of Dezong and Xianzong dynasties, and is not far from the Wuzong dynasty, which was at the peak of the population in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. During the Huichang period of Wuzong, due to the fact that there were only small-scale battles in the vassal states after the Anshi Rebellion, there were no national wars. It was once believed that the population had reached more than 50 million at the heyday of Tianbao. Of course, this may be exaggerated, but there were still more than 40 million people.
"This is all the achievements of Xiang Zhou." Gao Jin said.
"It is truly a merit that is unparalleled." Liu Xiang also sighed.
Shao Shude smiled and waved his hands repeatedly. He felt relieved, but he still wanted to be humble.
Today he was wearing a prince's purple robe, and the officials were also wearing brand new robes, with various ornaments, making pleasant sounds when walking. As the saying goes, "The court robes are wearing gold and jade, and Shanshan touches each other."
Many ceremonial guards have been listed outside Hanyuan Hall.
In the past month, the number of palace guards under Weiwei Temple has expanded again, and most of them are warriors recruited by the slave divisions of the northern grasslands. After more than a month of emergency training, they are basically familiar with various rituals. In fact, it is not difficult. They just bring various ceremonies and march, which is similar to the daily training.
The sound of bells and drums sounded inside the hall, and outside the hall.
Everyone present looked somber and ended their conversation.
Prime Minister Xiao Lu, Pei Shu, Pei Zhi and Zhu Pu looked at Shao Shude at the same time, and Shao Shude looked at him with a look of peace and ease.
Actually, it's quite embarrassing now.
He is the prime minister, but there are four people in the Political Affairs Hall who are in charge of the politicians. Later, the four prime ministers reported their work to him, the prime minister, which was a little awkward.
However, the four prime ministers did not seem to be embarrassed at all. Anyway, they would report to the emperor in the future. The person in front of him was already the de facto emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so there was nothing wrong with adapting in advance.
"Taifu, all the teachers, it's time to enter the court." After a while, the Lichao envoy Yang Kezheng walked over and opened his red lips and said.
She mentioned a few people in her mouth, but her eyes always fell on Shao Shude. It could be seen that she was a little nervous, and she could even see a hint of excitement, fear and despair mixed with emotion.
Shao Shude straightened the Yuanyouguan on his head and stood up first.
*******
The saint, the queen got off the imperial chariot one after another.
The saint wore a crown on his head, which was as tall as a mountain, and was majestic and upright. It was decorated with twelve golden cicada patterns, which meant to educate the people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism - this is something that was extremely missing for more than a hundred years after the difficulties.
On the winter solstice and the ceremonial meeting, there are strict regulations on clothing.
On this day, the saint is not called a saint, but an emperor, wearing a golden cicada and a robe.
On this day, the color of the robe is also required, that is, the upper part is mysterious and the lower part is shining.
Xuan represents the rise of sunshine in the day, and is a black color that is red in color.
The sun represents the setting of the sun during the day, and is a kind of yellow.
Chapter 72??The King's Day Celebration
Red color.
There is also a curled dragon on the robe, namely, "The peacock fan is divided into incense table, and the robe dragon's robe is moved to a letter."
"Why is the queen pale?" The saint was a little dissatisfied and whispered.
When the queen heard this, her face turned pale, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she was about to cry.
She also appeared in costume today.
She wore a robe used in the Grand Chapel Club, with a dark blue color, a flower crown on her head, and a twelve flower hairpins, that is, the twelve flower crowns, which are exclusive to the queen.
The dress is decorated with a chewy, but it is actually a pheasant or a pheasant. Too bad, it is called a pheasant, which symbolizes the beautiful virtues of women.
But today the queen has to do something contrary to the will of Huizhai, and the risk is extremely high. If she is not good, she will face death. She is a timid person, so it is normal for her to panic when things are about to happen.
"Your Majesty, why don't the queen wipe her tears and hesitate.
"What else?" the saint asked after looking grim.
"Why don't forget it." The queen held the saint's hand and begged in a low voice: "The Grand Tutor fought in the east and destroyed countless vassal states, but it has never been detrimental to Your Majesty. Why bother? I think he is generous and may not kill him. Isn't the Duke of Shanyang of the Later Han Dynasty happy to live a peaceful life? Is it that he has died?"
The saint was stunned when he heard this, and then became furious.
But he was still rational. Seeing that the ceremony was not far from them, he lowered his voice and said, "Stop it! The woman's opinion is ridiculous. Now that things have come to this point, there is no way out. I want you to prepare well, don't let me down."
Queen He was silent.
"Your Majesty, it's time to enter the palace." Mrs. Zhao went forward with a favor and reminded.
The saint took a deep breath and stepped out.
Under the ring of the bell, colorful fans, green flags and precious halberds followed each other, and the emperor and empress entered the Hanyuan Hall one by one.
Smoke had already emerged from the incense burner, and the mist was curling. The halberds and ceremonial guards were scattered to the various parts of the hall to arrange formations.
As the saying goes, "The treasure serpent and the Luo Xianjun, and the golden furnace leads to the smoke."
Shao Shude was very pleased with the emperor. The furnishings in the hall were becoming more and more complete, even more complete than Chang'an. Many things were slowly made and filled in in the past year.
When Huang Chao burned the Chang'an palace, when Emperor Xizong returned, the palace was poor and had nothing. When the king and his ministers participated in the court meeting, there were even dead branches and leaves on the ground. Not to mention various ceremonial wars, they were just a waste of money.
"The Holy One comes to the court and ascends to the imperial throne." The Li Dynasty envoy Yang Kezheng shouted.
The emperor and the empress sat down together, and the feather fans separated and exposed them before the ministers.
The incense case was brought in by Xiaohuangmen again, and two historians established the case together.
"See my emperor, long live my emperor." The ministers shouted in unison.
"Sit down, all the people." The saint waved.
His eyes still intentionally or unintentionally fell on Shao Shude not far away. The queen held his hand tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"The dynasties gathered to offer auspicious tributes." Yang Kezheng looked at the saint, and when he saw that he did not express his special statement, he entered the next stage.
*******
Shao Shude sat steadily on the Hu bed, his expression calm and natural.
The saint did not activate murderous intent at this time. The ceremonial guards here are all his people, and the saint does not have the ability to do this.
The first thing to do at the cemetery is to congratulate the court, and then to the court meeting. That is the time when the real goal is to find out.
He was not in a hurry, but looked at the civil and military officials in the hall with great interest.
The officials are getting more and more neat. Most of the more than 300 officials above the Beijing-9th rank have arrived. I am afraid there are more than 200 in the hall.
Many officials felt his gaze betting.
Mu people did not dare to look at each other, and they all lowered their heads, or looked away, looking away.
Some people glared back, as if they thought that in such a solemn occasion, even if Shao Shude was the prime minister, he should focus on the emperor instead of being so rude and domineering.
Some people squeezed out a pleasing smile, as if they felt that the new owner was about to arrive and they were going to curry favor in advance.
There are all kinds of life, each with its own merits.
Gao Shao was the first to contribute tribute to the Henan Prefecture Dynasty.
Wen Ling, white porcelain, medicinal materials, and winter dates. They are basically specialties in this state. @美\/Shuge* First release update~~
As for congratulations, envoys from various states usually offer gifts and go through the motions.
Chapter 72??The King's Day Celebration
It has been like this for many years.
However, Gao Shao made some new living today.
He held a wooden pallet and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the people of Mianchi County of our prefecture offer two Ruimai plants."
As soon as the words were finished, a buzzing sound came from the hall, and many people looked at it with their heads in sight, marveling.
The so-called Ruimai is actually a wheat with many ears, also known as "Jiahe", which has been recorded in all dynasties.
The saint also saw it and smiled happily. Jiahe, a good omen!
Huo Shao said again: "The people of Mianchi are mostly Hengshan Dangxiang. The Taifu moved to enrich the household registration and trained them to be beautiful. The man gradually gained his wildness, and men farmed and women were herding. Everyone was happy. Therefore, he set up a temple for the Taifu. Unexpectedly, Ruimai grew from the farmland next to the temple. @美官网·完有全公司~~ So he spread far and near, and all said that the Taifu was a great talent who had not been born in the world for five hundred years. He recovered the lost land of Helong, wiped out the disaster of the vassal states for a hundred years, and rebuked the prestige of the dynasty. Your Majesty has such a talent, and the revival of the Tang Dynasty is expected."
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.
The saint's expression suddenly changed, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He held back the tyrannical emotions in his heart and said, "I understand."
Shao Shude was still sitting there, as stable as Mount Tai.
