Mingshi

Chapter 1231 King's Landing
It stands to reason that Luo Xin is not qualified to be the first table in the East Hall.

People in the royal family, such as the emperor, prince and princess, will be in the main hall.Those who are not of royal blood are not eligible to sit in the main hall.The high-ranking officials had to sit in the east and west side halls, while the smaller officials had to sit in the side hall.

With the current official position of Luo Xin's third-rank rite minister, he can sit in the east and west side halls, but he is not qualified to sit at the first table.Those who can sit at the first table are all at the level of the KMT and the Six Books of History.But Luo Xin was sitting here, but no one raised any objections, because everyone knew that Luo Xin was not sitting here as an official, but as a teacher of King Yu, and as an accompanying guest.Teachers also count as half masters.

Moreover, Luo Xin's other identity was not rejected by everyone present.

Those who work at this table are actually divided into two camps. The six ministers belong to the civil official system, while the Duke of the State belongs to the military officer system.And what about Luo Xin?

The left concubine of Zhanshi's mansion, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites are the nobles in the real civil service system.Naturally, they will be regarded as their own by the six ministers.But don't forget that Luo Xin is still a second-class marquis now, so he is naturally regarded by those princes as his own.

The most important thing is that everyone can see that Luo Xin can become the Minister of Rituals at a young age, which shows His Majesty's favor for him, and as the teacher of King Yu, his future prospects are limitless.Therefore, everyone was very polite to Luo Xin.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Luo Xin said, "What were you talking about just now, gentlemen? Is there something interesting for the lower officials to have a good time with?"

"It's not an interesting thing." The British Duke shook his head, his face slightly displeased and said: "Now the Japanese kingdom has been wiped out, and there is no more Japanese pirate rebellion in the south. The northern grassland and our Ming Dynasty have established a mutual market and become friendly countries. They have already The military force began to lean towards the Western Regions, and Koryo was beaten to the bone by you, and now the world is peaceful, and it is said that there will be no war within a hundred years. Therefore, some people proposed to disarm."

Cheng Guogong on the side said: "Once the army is disarmed, it will be very difficult to form a combat force in the future. The stability of a country is not achieved by the words of civilian officials, but by generals."

"You can't say that!" The Minister of the Household Department shook his head and said, "Now Daming has too many soldiers, and the country can't support them."

"Why can't we afford it? There is an exchange market in the north and a shipping department in the south. Is the country short of money now?"

Luo Xin just sighed in his heart. In fact, Luo Xin had long wanted to disarm.In his view, Daming's military equipment is slack and its force is weak.The entire Ming Dynasty, including Ma Fang's direct line army in the north, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang's troops in the south are considered strong troops, and the rest are not in Luo Xin's eyes.

Especially Luo Xin felt that Fubing was outdated.With Daming's current financial resources, it can already fully support the army.But there is no need for so many troops.It's just that this matter is too big. With Luo Xin's current official position, it is impossible to promote this matter, let alone comment.When he was in a dilemma, he heard a loud shout:
"The Emperor is here!"

Everyone stopped talking, stood up one after another, and walked towards the door.Walking all the way to the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, under the leadership of Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Ji Guogong, all the officials greeted them.Although there are many officials, they are silent.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of neat horse hooves, and everyone followed the prestige, and in their field of vision, came out a neatly dressed gold armored and red captain of the imperial forest, riding a fine horse, walking towards this side .Then they dismounted one after another and stood on both sides of the red carpet spread on the ground.

Looking at these Imperial Forest Army, Luo Xin couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Thinking back to when the Han Dynasty established the Habayashi Army, it was very powerful and could be described as the most capable army in the Han Dynasty. The meaning of the Habayashi Army is to serve the country with wings, such as Lin Zhisheng.

But look at those people in Ming Dynasty who renamed the Habayashi Army to the Yulin Army. They are a guard of honor, and they cannot withstand a shock when they are placed on the battlefield.

While sighing, I saw the court musicians each holding their instruments, playing while walking, accompanied by the sound of elegant music, all kinds of support came one after another.

When the guards of honor passed by, there was a group of imperial guards on full alert, surrounded by Emperor Jiajing's chariot, followed by a hundred guards with guns, ceremonial knives, and bows. Huanglong's banner!
Under the leadership of Xu Jie, all the officials knelt down by the roadside and shouted in unison:

"The ministers welcome you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live!"

Huang Jin appeared beside the chariot and said loudly: "Pingshen!"

The walking chariot passed in front of all the officials and entered through the middle gate. All the officials also got up from the ground one after another, followed the chariot, and walked into Prince Yu's mansion.

The walking chariot went all the way to the gate of the main hall, and when they saw King Yu helping Emperor Jiajing get off the chariot, the expressions of all the officials moved slightly.

His Majesty even allowed King Yu to share a car with him!
Almost instantly, everyone had a decision in their hearts, and their gazes towards King Yu became fiery.

Today's Yu Wang is also full of energy, with his head held high, and he has a bit of demeanor of a prince.With an unconcealable smile on his face, he helped Emperor Jiajing get off the chariot.Emperor Jiajing gave people the feeling that he was already dying, and he was already trembling slightly while walking.

But today Emperor Jiajing was in good spirits, with a kind smile on his face, he was supported by King Yu into the main hall, and sat down in the middle.He said cheerfully:

"Where's my grandson? Hurry up and show me."

King Yu said with a smile all over his face, "My son, go and bring the child here."

"Ok!"

Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, and King Yu left quickly. After a while, he brought Concubine Li in all his costumes and paid homage.

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing said with a smile, "Hurry up and bring the child here."

Yu Dynasty looked at Concubine Li and nodded slightly, and Concubine Li stood up with the help of the maid, walked to Emperor Jiajing with the child in her arms, handed the child to Huang Jin, and knelt down on the ground again.

Huang Jin held the child carefully, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Your Majesty, look, this little ancestor is really blessed, and his spirit is really likable."

Emperor Jiajing looked at the child, and said with a hint of urgency in his voice, "Hurry up and show me."

Huang Jin hurriedly carried the child in front of Emperor Jiajing, and turned the child's front to Emperor Jiajing.

In fact, newborn children almost all look the same, there is nothing to look at.But people are like this, they all think that their children are good-looking, so Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on the children's faces, and he felt that the children were very similar to himself.The child was not afraid of people, and when he saw Emperor Jiajing stretching out his arms to hug him, he giggled twice.
