The next day, morning.
After the emperor Zhou Ke ascended the throne, during the Xingde period, King You Zhou Yan came to court for the first time.
Outside the Taiqian Palace, the officials were neither surprised nor surprised.
What was unexpected was that Zhou Yan came to court, and what was not surprising was that everyone knew that the scholars in the capital were now twisted into a rope to defeat Han You. The attack was just in these few days, how could King You sit idly by and watch.
Scholars are actually a very general term. Big bosses from the three provinces can call themselves scholars. People with no fame who have only read two books can also call themselves scholars. This group can be in the court, in the shop, or in Shilin. .
On the surface, Dongfang Jian gained the support of all scholars by scolding Han You.
In fact, it is the Four Seasons Villa in Han You Lane, and the Four Seasons Academy in the Four Seasons Villa. The Four Seasons Academy is full of sons of common people who can study. It is these sons of common people. The fact that these common people's children can study is what really irritates the "scholars" group. reason.
This is also the most frustrating part. Many so-called scholars are not actually from aristocratic families, and a small number of them are also children from poor families.
But it was this small group of scholars who came ashore, ordinary-born scholars, who were even angrier than those from aristocratic families.
They were able to study, they had sacrificed too much, and had too many chances and coincidences. Luck and hard work were all indispensable. They managed to get ahead with great difficulty. There were actually guys who came from the same poor background as them and didn't need to be with them. I am so lucky that I can study!
This is the real contradiction, an irreconcilable contradiction. There are never enough rights, the cake is never big enough, and there are always too many classes.
Nowadays, the people waiting for court are no longer lined with civil and military stations like before, but are lined up in rows. The first row is filled with officials from the three provinces, followed by officials from the six ministries, nine temples, government offices, and various states.
Zhou Yan was a nobleman from Tianhuang and stood to the left of the officials from the three provinces.
Just as a eunuch came out to crack the whip, another prince appeared, Zhou Ben.
Old Zhou Zhouben was wearing a black embroidered python robe. He was originally going to walk to the right side of the Ministry of Rites. He saw Zhou Yan in front of him wearing a unicorn robe. He didn't know what he thought of, so he walked over quickly. When passing by a group of civil servants, everyone The licking dogs saluted one after another, and Zhou Ben licked them back politely.
Before both parties finished licking, the eunuch had already sounded the whip, and Zhou Yan was the first to walk into the hall.
He was the first to enter the palace, which was legal. After all, he was the prince and of the Tian family's blood.
But, most princes would not do this, and would let some elders with seniority and high official positions take the lead.
Not to mention, he is only the ninth prince, and the third prince is also here today. Even if he is the first to enter the palace, the third prince must go in first.
As hundreds of officials entered the palace, stood on both sides, and saluted in unison, the emperor on the dragon throne nodded slightly and started the court.
It is worth mentioning that the two princes are not standing together, one is on the left and the other is on the right, one is in literature and the other is in martial arts.
The three provinces did not move, and the six departments came out one by one to carry out work.
Discuss laws, discuss laws, and discuss political affairs.
Discuss the country, the people, money and food.
There are many new faces in the court, new mazai, new boss, the new boss is actually Mazai's mazai. Because the three-province system transferred many officials from the six ministries and nine temples, many vacancies in the government offices have not been fully filled. superior.
As time passed, many things were raised and few were solved, but they were much more efficient than last year.
During this period, countless people, including the emperor, were looking at the two princes.
Including the emperor, even those civil servants who secretly supported Zhou Ben, these people had to admit one thing, brothers are not as good as brothers.
It was the first time for the young Zhou Yan to go to court. He was standing there wearing a unicorn robe, his eyes were extremely calm and extremely alert. Whenever someone passed by, his eyes would shift slightly, as if an old monk in meditation was looking at each other, which was disconcerting. Don't look away immediately.
In addition to the calm eyes, there is also an indescribable demeanor, a demeanor that should not be seen at this age, not even the descendants of the Tian family should appear at this age.
This magnanimity is not temperament, but an attitude toward political affairs, an attitude that does not express one's attitude.
When discussing a certain political matter in the court, Zhou Yan's expression would change. These changes represented different meanings, maybe approval, doubt, or denial, but he never spoke.
The most important thing is that this means that the young prince has not only listened to every political matter discussed in the court, but also has some insights, no, it should be very deep and unique insights.
This kind of "magnitude" is not pretended. In the eyes of the old foxes in the court, it is not pretended, because if it is pretending, they can see it, just like Zhou Bi.
The third prince, who was standing on the civil servant's side, tried very hard to "listen", try to understand, and try to generate his own opinions, but the expressions and eyes on his face were more of confusion.
Just go to the court to stand and judge.
However, the courtiers were not surprised by Zhou Yan's performance. Even the courtiers who hated him extremely were not surprised, because everyone knew that this boy's teacher was called Han You, the man who rose from fame to fame at a young age. A guy who has only been around for less than a year.
Seeing that the court was about to disperse, many civil servants looked at Zhou Ben with questioning expressions on their faces.
He shouldn't have looked at it, but there was an accident. No one expected that King You was here too.
Zhou Ben, who noticed the gazes of these people, nodded slightly.
After nodding, no official stepped forward.
Zhou Yan had been paying attention to Zhou Ben out of the corner of his eye, and naturally noticed this detail. He thought that someone would stand up to criticize his mentor, or sing praises to Zhou Ben, but who knew that the court meeting would still be normal.
It was not until noon that the civil and military officials announced that the court had dispersed. When Zhou Yan thought that his appearance had interrupted the plans of Zhou Ben and others, a guard hurried in.
"Your Majesty, military report from the Ministry of War, good news, good news from the East China Sea!"
There were four words in the East China Sea news, the ministers looked at each other, and the emperor on the dragon throne also had a question mark on his head.
Wenwu walked over quickly and took the military report from the guard.
The military report was presented in front of the emperor. Lao Ba took a closer look. He first showed a look of astonishment on his face, then subconsciously raised his head and looked at Zhou Bi.
The civil and military officials looked at Lao Ba as if their hearts were scratching their heads. Where are the soldiers in the East China Sea? There is no reason. Why is there a military report? It is a victory report. I have never heard of a navy warship going to sea. It cannot be that there is no report of going to war. Bar.
Mr. Qian Jiqian, who is now regarded as the leader of hundreds of officials, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this good news from the East China Sea is..."
"The good news is true."
Lao Ba finally spoke, but he looked at Zhou Bi and smiled happily: "Bier, it's me who looks down upon me... Okay, okay, I didn't expect Bi'er to be so majestic in the East China Sea. My tiger, I'm extremely happy. .”
