Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 740 Datang's Confidence

"A glass of red wine, a mouthful of intestines, what more can I ask for. Today, I, Tang Jian, will accompany His Royal Highness King Qi to fight a dozen big tigers!" Tang Jian ate the intestines together, and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Your Majesty treats me well. Changsun Wuji is too deceitful. If he wants to cover the sky with one hand, he still needs to look at my three-foot iron whip!" Yu Chigong finished the wine in his glass.

"Old Cheng is looking forward to His Highness King Qi." Following Cheng Zhijie, he also drank the red wine in his glass.

"Drink this cup with Your Majesty Youdai!" Li You also drank the red wine in his own cup.

At this moment, the bell and drum sounded, followed by nine whips. After the whips ended, the palace gate opened, and everyone went to Daming Palace. Taiji Palace is no longer Li Zhi's office.

Daming Palace is now Li Zhi's residence.

This Daming Palace was built in the eighth year of Zhenguan. It was originally named "Yong'an Palace", which meant that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan would live in peace and prosperity.

Regrettably, in May of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who was [-] years old, passed away in the bedroom of Da'an Palace in Chang'an, and the construction of Daming Palace was immediately suspended.The construction lasted only half a year. According to the operation of Tang Dynasty palaces, materials are prepared first, and then construction is carried out. The transportation of stone components and wood materials and the firing of bricks and tiles are very time-consuming, and the busy farming season must be avoided. Moreover, during the ten years since Li Yuan died of illness, there is no record of using the Daming Palace. It can be inferred that this project did not achieve much.The basic structure of the Daming Palace was not formed during the Zhenguan period.

After Li Zhi came to the throne, he actually lived in the Taiji Palace all the time, because there was the shadow of Li Shimin there, but Li Zhi, who had always been weak and sick, suffered from rheumatism. In the early years of Hui Dynasty, he provided money privately to rebuild the Daming Palace.

This is also why Li Zhi is so kind to his fifth elder brother. Just imagine, in today's world, how many people are so sincerely thinking about Li Zhi? Because they are worried about their own health, they can build a palace for themselves regardless of the cost. , except for my fifth brother, I am afraid there is no one else.

The Daming Palace spent four years, with at least three to four million yuan of money, and was finally built. It covers an area of ​​about 400 square kilometers. The entire palace area can be divided into two parts: the former dynasty and the inner court. Mainly with banquets and tours.

The center of the previous dynasty was Hanyuan Hall (Outer Dynasty), Xuanzheng Hall (Middle Dynasty), and Zichen Hall (Inner Dynasty).

After Li Zhi moved in, he felt that his condition had improved a lot, and he was really grateful to his fifth brother. Since then, Daming Palace has become the political center of the seventeen emperors of the Tang Empire.

As the gate of the palace opened wide, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty came in one after another. Li You was at the forefront of the military officials, and Changsun Wuji on the other side was at the forefront of the civil officials. You must know that the two were once comrades-in-arms. Li Zhi was helped to the position of emperor.

Uncle and Yuer used to be very close, but this world is like this, there is no permanent enemy, and there is no permanent friend, if people's hearts are slightly tilted, then it is obvious that the two will not be together. On an intersection.

"Your Majesty is here...!" Yang Qu yelled, followed Li Zhi and walked in from behind, seeing Li Zhi, all the officials bowed to salute, and Li Zhi gave him a little help.

To say which dynasty officials had the most human rights and lived the most comfortable life?It can be seen from the attitude of the ministers when they went to court and met the emperor in private!The best of them is the Tang Dynasty. Many people may not know that in the Tang Dynasty, ministers could sit and go to court. This is simply a dream in the eyes of the next few dynasties!
In fact, this has something to do with the rules of the Tang Dynasty!
We all know that the island country was most influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Until now, the living habits of the island country have many similarities with the Tang Dynasty, especially the rules of kneeling and sitting. This can also be done when Tang Dynasty officials go to court. Although those in power at that time had a concept of hierarchy, they did not emphasize it too much. Instead, they wanted to show their goodwill. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they would not ask ministers to kneel down, unless it was a large-scale event such as a sacrifice. Otherwise, Officials in the Tang Dynasty didn't have so many rules at all, not only on the surface, but also when they met the emperor in private, they would not deliberately surround them to flatter them!
Because this will make the emperor feel that this person is more loyal, not a flatterer!

This is the self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty. Later, after foreigners gradually occupied us, those foreigners were afraid of the Han people, so they designated kneeling, especially in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, it even reached the point of kneeling everywhere!
The Qing Dynasty also formulated a whole set of "kneeling rituals". Just kneeling, there are three kneeling and three knocking, two kneeling and six knocking, and three kneeling and nine knocking.When the common people see the officials, the lower officials see the upper officials, and the officials see the emperor, they all kneel down.It can be said that the kneeling of the Chinese people was not until the Qing Dynasty until the Qing Dynasty became grand and colorful.

The reason for this is very simple. Kneeling is a kind of enslaving education! Unlike other dynasties, the Qing Dynasty was a "small clan facing the big clan". Rebellious slaves cannot have independent personality and spirit!
When a person is used to kneeling, it is estimated that he is not far from being a "slave", and he is also used to being a slave! Therefore, why did no one dare to rebel against many ministers before and after the Qing Dynasty, including Zeng Guofan and others? Because they have become spiritual slaves !
Li Zhi sat directly on his dragon chair, and then let all the ministers present sit down. At this time, Li Zhi smiled and said: "It's great, my fifth brother is back today, I believe that there is With Fifth Brother's assistant government, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be more prosperous."

"Long live Your Majesty!" All the ministers cheered.

But after the cheers, a person came out slowly. This person was the censor from Changsun Wuji's side. At this time, Li You also knew that it was time for the bayonet to be popular.

"Your Majesty, I have a list!"

"Oh, it's not the time to put on the watch yet, can you wait for a while?" Li Zhi looked at the censor with a smile.

It's just that after Li Zhi said this, the other party not only didn't give in at all, but pressed forward a step forward: "Your Majesty, the minister's statement is of great importance, so please, Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's statement.!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Youwei stepped forward and yelled: "Bold. Are you persecuting His Majesty?"

"His Royal Highness, there is no need to threaten like this. I dare to stand here today, and I am not afraid of your power. I can now make it clear to Your Majesty and everyone that what I want to list is to impeach King Qi Li Youmu Wuwang The law released the imperial court to repeat offenders, and there is even suspicion of collusion, so I ask Your Majesty to severely punish King Qi!"

After finishing speaking, the censor bowed deeply!
