When all the officials entered the palace, Han You stared at them for a long time, but under the guidance of Beimen Yuyong, he led everyone to where they should stand.
Because there are many envoys waiting outside for court today, they will enter the main hall soon. Lao Ba, who is sitting on the dragon chair, also specially wears a jade crown, which is the imperial crown.
The crown has twelve hanging strands, which Lao Ba usually does not wear.
The emperor usually went to court without wearing a jade crown, which was obviously against etiquette.
Besides, this thing is a symbol of power, even the emperor of the previous dynasty would wear it.
However, no one in this dynasty has mentioned Lao Ba. There are rumors that Lao Ba held a small meeting with some veterans after he ascended the throne.
At that time, in the Jingzhi Hall, the twelve hanging crowns were placed on the imperial desk. Lao Ba pointed at the crown and said that this thing was first worn by the first emperor of the ages, the First Emperor.
You must know that crowns are passed down from generation to generation. Although there are changes in each dynasty and each generation, they are still the same.
In the Zhou Dynasty when rituals and music were flourishing, not the current Zhou Dynasty, anyway, in the Zhou Dynasty at that time, crowns were not only worn by the emperor, but also by ministers and scholars. The number of strands was different, and the number and color were different according to class. The materials of beads are also different.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the main focus was the collapse of rituals and the separation of feudal lords. While inheriting the Zhou rites, various countries formed different crown cultures for different reasons. The more famous ones are Qi Wangguan, Chu Wang Xiezhi Guan, Zhao Huiwen Guan, etc. .
After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang began to "collect and use them, to offer them to the supreme, and to give them to hundreds of officials". That is to say, he gave the crown of Qi to his ministers and visitors, turned it into a high mountain crown, destroyed the Queen of Chu, and gave it to Xie The Zhiguan was given to the close minister who was in charge of the law. After the destruction of Zhao, the Zhao Huiwen Crown was given to the close minister, which was the Wuguan.
After that, Qin Shihuang began to abandon the Zhou rites, and no longer used the Twelve Chapters of the Emperor and the corresponding crown system when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and uniformly used black clothing and crowns.
After the Han Dynasty, only the emperor could wear a crown, and "Mian" became the nickname for the emperor.
According to rumors, when Lao Ba first came to the throne, he looked at Mian Qi and felt something. As for the specific content, no one knows whether it is true or not. All they know is that Lao Ba seemed to feel that he was not qualified to wear Mian Qi.
The queen of Goguryeo used Mianqi with twelve bunches.
Emperor Yingdao also wore twelve bundles.
Even the Turks and Liangrong outside Beiguan used twelve bundles in their sacrifices.
This probably made Lao Ba disgusted. A group of aliens had pirated goods, and there were twelve bundles of them, which made him very repelled and made him want to twist their heads off.
Therefore, people speculate that in addition to wearing it on important days, if you want Lao Ba to wear it in court every day, he should have defeated it or destroyed all the pirated goods.
This kind of ambition and motivation really made it impossible for the ministers to say "no", because Lao Ba's move seemed a bit like trying to survive.
Tomorrow is the martial arts performance. Lao Ba wears Mianqi on his head. The meaning is obvious.
With Mianqi, the officials could no longer see Lao Ba's face clearly.
As the Chief Assistant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Grand Chamberlain, the Emperor's valet and the cottage eunuch Wenwu Wen Gonggong opened the court, Lao Ba was the first to speak.
"The conduct of the Great Dao means that the world is for the common good, selecting the worthy and capable, adhering to trust and cultivating harmony, so that people will not only kiss their relatives, nor will they only have their children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, and the young will have their own strengths, and will be modest, widowed, and lonely. The orphans, the lonely, the crippled and the sick will all be provided for, the men will have their share, and the women will have their homes.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many civil servants' expressions moved slightly, and many generals looked at each other, not quite understanding.
This sentence comes from the "Book of Rites", and its general meaning is that when the Great Dao is implemented, the whole world is common to all people of all walks of life. People with high moral character and talents are selected, and people are honest and moral. Not only should we support our own parents and children, but we should also allow the elderly to live their whole life and the middle-aged people to serve the country. We should also allow our children to have a place where they can grow up healthily. We should also allow the old and wifeless people and the elderly to have a healthy life. People without husbands, children without fathers, old people without children, and people with disabilities will all be supported. Men will have something to do, and women will have a good home.
None of the ministers said a word, not knowing what the emperor meant.
There will be a martial arts performance tomorrow. It is really puzzling that the emperor suddenly said such a sentence at the beginning of the court.
"I humbly ask for advice from all my dear friends. Has the court done this?"
All the ministers lowered their heads.
Are you asking nonsense? If you can do it, then the prosperous times are coming. You, the emperor, don't know whether you can do it or not.
"Okay, the ministers are silent, then I will ask again."
The emperor behind the jade crown still had a steady voice: "The people should be supported, the soldiers should be rewarded, and the children should be educated. This should be done."
Lao Ba spoke very slowly, and kept turning his head and changing his gaze while speaking.
When we talk about the people's support, we are looking at the Ministry of Punishment.
When Wu was rewarded, he was looking at the Ministry of War.
When the son is educated, he looks at the Ministry of Rites.
It goes without saying that the people have something to rely on, the laws they abide by, and the laws protect the rights and interests of the people.
Wu is rewarded, and if he achieves military exploits, he will be rewarded with land, money, or status.
A child is educated, which is both education and nurturing.
After all, they were looking at three government offices, and no one said anything. If they were looking at one government office, then that government office must be out of work.
"I remember that when the court opened yesterday, the Ministry of Punishment said that the industrial laws were promulgated to all roads and the government decrees were clear. The people all praised me and the court."
When the Ministry of Punishment was brought up, Shangshu Wu Dingbi could only leave his post.
"I remember a few days ago, the Ministry of Rites said that the various academic officials have made outstanding achievements, and the number of applicants will be more than 30% in the first year. When it comes to the scientific examination, more places need to be added."
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of various ways of admonishing students, also stood up.
"I remember that at the end of the year, the Ministry of War said, "There are commanders who are talented, generals who are brave, and soldiers who are loyal."
Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War, stood up. The Ministry of War had said this, and it was the Minister of the Ministry of War who said this. However, the Minister of the Ministry of War did not go to court today, so he had to stand up.
"Wait, are you teasing me?"
It was still a plain sentence, and the three officials quickly bowed and saluted without daring to say anything.
"Civil and military."
"The old slave is here."
"Leave it to them."
"yes."
Wen Wu had been holding a pamphlet in his hand, and after walking down the steps, he handed it to Huang Youwei first. The other two people also came closer and stretched their heads to take a look.
At this sight, the expressions of the three people changed drastically, and all the civil and military officials in the palace were extremely curious.
Tomorrow is the martial arts performance. According to the procedure, we must first understand the martial arts performance before going to court. Now that we have reached this juncture, Han You, who is in charge of the martial arts performance, must say one, two, three. After speaking, everyone will express their opinions, check for any gaps, and maintain consistency before choosing. Envoys from various countries entered the palace.
In fact, according to previous years, Honglu Temple, which is responsible for the martial arts performance, should have gone through the process long ago, that is, Han You, it was delayed until today.
Martial arts performance is so important, but the emperor never mentioned it when he went to court. Instead, he said a bunch of incomprehensible words out of nowhere, as if he was asking for accountability, but he didn't know where the "responsibility" came from. It was like convulsions,
Not knowing what was written in the booklet, all the ministers turned to look at the three bosses, Qian Ji, Zhao Tai, and Zhou Zhenghuai.
The three bosses also looked confused, which meant that they did not know what was written in the pamphlet, let alone what the emperor meant.
A funny scene appeared, and the bosses from the three provinces all looked at Han You again.
The ministers don't know what's going on, and neither do the bosses of the three provinces, so Han You must know.
Of course, Han You didn't know either and looked confused.
The ministers sneered in their hearts, pretend, keep pretending!
There is no way, this is the disadvantage of a bad reputation. Whenever something unusual happens, everyone thinks it is related to Han You.
Many people were trembling a little, thinking about whether they had offended Han You recently, and then they all looked at Huang Youwei, the chief thug in the court, fearing that this guy would suddenly "praise himself."
The only courtiers who knew what was going on were the three Huang Youwei who had seen the roster. It wasn't until they turned to the last page that the elder Huang knelt down first.
"My lord, please forgive me."
Many ministers are even more frightened. Who the hell are you going to apologize to?
Da Laohuang was relatively good. He knelt down and shouted "I'm sorry". At least he didn't panic. Wu Dingbi and the right minister of the Ministry of Rites knelt down in a panic, and sweat was visible on their foreheads.
"I don't listen to the words of one family, and I dare not listen to the words of one family. I remember that at the end of the first year of the year, Donghai transferred many officials to Beijing to serve."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, several officials transferred from Donghai went out to work, including Qi Shuping.
The ministers have an idea, and it is related to the East China Sea.
Lao Ba's eyes swept over the seven officials one by one, and finally landed on Qi Shuping.
"Qi Si Qing, please take a look at it. After you take a look, tell me and all the ministers whether it is true or false."
"yes."
Qi Shuping stepped forward and took the roster from Huang Youwei's hand. When he looked at it, his brows trembled slightly. After reading it word by word, he slowly knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it should be... true."
"Why do you use the word Ying? Is it because such evil things have long been common in the East China Sea?"
Qi Shuping gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"I still can't believe it, let alone Han You."
"The end will be here."
Han You hurriedly left work, and Lao Ba said: "You are a member of the royal family, and you know more or less about the affairs of the East China Sea. Take a look and tell me whether it is true or false."
"yes."
Han You, who was already extremely curious, took over the roster. When he saw it, his eyes jumped: "Ying, you should be punished, Ying's lackey, you should be punished!"
