Chapter 162

A new day starts early.

When the ministers walked into the familiar Hall of Supreme Harmony, they found that the Hall of Supreme Harmony had become different from before. Originally, there were only a few places under the dragon chair, which were reserved for some extremely distinguished people when they went to court. Yes, just like when Zhao Kai was still the crown prince, he sat in that position, and the old grand master of Western Chu also reserved a special seat.

These positions can usually accommodate three or four people. These people are distinguished, and they don't kneel to the emperor at court meetings.

But now, the original seats have been removed, and they have been increased a lot. There are ten seats on the left and right sides, and they are arranged in two rows. There are precious aromatherapy cushions on the seats, and there is a table in front of them.

When the ministers filed in, they all whispered when they saw so many actions increased at once, wondering what the new emperor was up to.After the ministers stood still, the palm print eunuch began to speak in that unmasculine voice:
"From now on, in the early court, officials from the second rank and above do not need to kneel, but can sit in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers began to look at each other in blank dismay. It is not uncommon for them not to kneel in the early court. In the past, the princes and nobles also enjoyed these benefits, but there are so many people like today, and they even arranged seats. It's unprecedented.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, all the vassal kings and important officials of the court began to sit in the seats arranged in advance, first the princes and important officials.

In the end, even Xuanyuan Jingcheng of the second rank had his own seat.

After everyone was seated, Emperor Zhao Kai came late, and after all the ministers shouted long live, the morning court officially began.

Although people in the front row do not need to kneel down, they still have to bow to salute, otherwise it would be really treasonous.

Zhao Kai didn't say anything more after the sentence "after the death of all the ministers", but let the palm print eunuch Song Tanglu start to read the imperial decree.

A decree began to be promulgated:
"Promote Guozijian Zuo Jijiu Huan Wen to be Zuo Servant under the door, and confer the title of Grand Bachelor of Wenting Pavilion. You don't need to kneel in front of the saint!"

Tan Tan Weng, who almost fell asleep on the bed, immediately stood up from his chair after hearing the imperial decree, and ran to the middle to kneel down. As a veteran of the three dynasties, receiving this kind of treatment can be said to be a great favor from the emperor, and countless ministers began to vote Envious eyes, after all, Huan Wen was scolded by Zhao Kai not long ago, many people thought he had lost his favor, but they didn't expect him to be the first to be promoted, which also made the officials below Zhao Kai's behavior Some people can't figure it out, is it possible that they can still be promoted after being scolded?
"Feng Shangshu ordered Zhang Julu to be the Duke of An, and gave him a golden book and iron certificate, which can save me from three deaths and one death of my immediate relatives. Miansheng will not kneel!"

Everyone is moved by this decree.Duke of the State, Golden Book Iron Coupon, what an honor that is!It is already the highest treatment that civil servants can achieve, and above all, they can only rebel themselves and become emperor.

This also made Zhang Lu's officials feel relieved.Since ancient times, when the new emperor came to the throne, he was not very friendly to these civil servants and military generals who had power over the government and the public. Few of them had a good death.

Not to mention the title of duke of the state now, there is also a gold medal for avoiding death. No one in the future does not know, but it can definitely be said that there is no one before.

But what was surprising was that Zhang Julu returned the Golden Book Iron Coupon the next day. After all, it was too hot for him to handle.

"Gu Jiantang resigned as Minister of the Ministry of War, entrusted to Dazhu Kingdom, and commanded the military affairs of the two Liaos."

Being suppressed in the Ministry of War for nearly 20 years, especially after Chen Zhibao became the king, Gu Jiantang has made it through. He won the Dazhu Kingdom that Xu Xiao gave up, and he is about to return to the Liangliao.

···
"Remove Zhao Gou, change its name to the Inspection and Inspection Institute, and exercise the powers of the inspection and inspection officials! The status is equal to the three provinces, above the six departments!
Promote Yuan Pu, editor of the Hanlin Academy, to be the dean of the inspection institute, and coordinate the affairs of the inspection institute, from the rank of first rank!Promote Xuanyuan Jingcheng to be the host of the Appraisal and Inspection Institute, with the title of second rank! "

This imperial decree also amazed countless people.

Since then, the spy who has been walking in the dark all year round has prevented Zhao Gou from officially going to the foreground, and has become a procuratorate feared by all civil and military officials, responsible only to the emperor.

Yuan Benxi is about to retire, and the Inspection Institute will also be handed over to Xuanyuan Jingcheng and rookie Lu Xu.The emergence of the Inspection Institute is also to check and balance the power of the prime minister. After all, not all prime ministers are Zhang Julu.

In order to prevent the Inspection Institute from having too much power, Zhao Kai specially arranged for it to be in charge of two persons in order to check and balance it.

At this time, the civil and military officials are still recalling the previous decrees, because there are too many, and it takes a long time to digest. Due to Zhao Kai's control over the court, it is the first time The imperial decree was issued, and rewards were the main thing. Naturally, no minister dared to raise any objections.

It wasn't until they said that they had nothing to do with retiring from the court that everyone came back to their senses and thanked each other and resigned.

After the early court, all the officials began to perform their duties. Since Zhao Kai had supervised the country for a long time, there was no turbulence in all this, and everyone was familiar with the road.

The most important thing is the matter of the Inspection Institute, for which Zhao Kai also expended a lot of effort.

A few days later, Zhao Kai began to summon the vassal kings, as well as Gu Jiantang who was about to return to the border of the Liao Dynasty.These people have been in the capital for some time, and it is time to leave. Before these people leave, they must ask the emperor to resign, or wait for the emperor to summon him.

Zhao Kai didn't like the smell of the imperial study room, so he deliberately chose the imperial garden as the meeting place.

The first person to meet him was none other than Xu Fengnian, the prince's son of Beiliang.

The two sat on a round table, drinking tea calmly, they were not from Dong Cha, they just thought the tea tasted good.

Xu Fengnian began to imitate his father's way of wanting to take good things when he saw them, and said:
"This tea is not bad, give me some later!"

Zhao Kai shook his head and said:
"Those old men think about my tea every day, and there is not much in stock. If you want it, you have to wait until next year.

By the way, how is Wen's second child?Are you slowing down? "

After Huang Sanjia agreed to Zhao Kai's conditions, they left Wen Hua and left without saying a word, even the affectionate Master Li Bai didn't want to see him anymore.

This almost made Wen Hua go from heaven to hell all at once. Zhao Kai wanted to introduce Chen Yu to him, but he didn't expect that this guy seemed to be possessed by a demon, and he didn't even look at him.

Xu Fengnian sighed and said:
"After drinking a few drinks, I'm much better now, and it won't be long before I recover."

Then he said:
"I've already heard about the matter from the old sword-eating ancestor. This time, I really want to thank you, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Sui Xiegu had found Xu Fengnian on purpose before, and told Xu Fengnian all about the bet.

Zhao Kai waved his hand and said:
"They're all brothers, why are you talking about this. I hope that after this incident, Wen Laoer can go further in the way of swordsmanship. There is a saying that goes well, if you don't have a woman in your heart, you will be a god if you draw your sword!"

Xu Fengnian then said viciously:

"This Huang Sanjia, we have no grievances or enmity with him, yet he plots against us like this. If it's not for the sake of Miss Hehe, I will kill him sooner or later."

Zhao Kai nodded and said:

"Yeah, if he wasn't my brother, he would be a corpse now."

Both of them were gnashing their teeth at Huang Sanjia, but they didn't want to kill him directly.Huang Sanjia was the only one who could treat the two most powerful people in this world like this, and he didn't know if all this was in his expectation.

Both of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention Xu Fengnian's attack on Master Liu Hao and the threat to Yuan Benxi, probably because they didn't want to make things difficult for the other party.
