New Year's Day.Early in the morning, before dawn, Zhao Yunze was dressed up, and he was going out to greet the bigwigs of the imperial court.But before Zhao Yunze could go out, Yan Liben and Fang Zhi came to the door."
Brother Zhao, have a good New Year" As soon as Yan Liben and Fang Zhi saw Zhao Yunze, they bowed their hands together to congratulate."
Hehe, it's a good New Year, a good New Year," Zhao Yunze returned the salute."
Two, why are you wearing court clothes today" After returning the salute, Zhao Yunze asked Yan Liben and Fang Zhi suspiciously.Yan Liben and Fang Zhi actually came in court clothes today, which surprised Zhao Yunze."
Brother Zhao, we are here to invite you into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Your Majesty."
Yan Liben replied with a smile.Zhao Yunze suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "Look at me, I almost forgot about this stubble." ”If you don't pay New Year's greetings to the biggest boss in Datang first, it is indeed unreasonable.If it weren't for Yan Liben and Fang Zhi's reminder, Zhao Yunze really forgot to give Li Shimin a New Year's greeting."
Brother Zhao, it's not early, you should quickly change into court clothes, let's enter the palace together" Fang Zhi urged Zhao Yunze to say."
Wait a moment, and you'll come when you go."
Zhao Yunze dropped a sentence and immediately went back to the bedroom.After changing into court clothes, Zhao Yunze, Yan Liben, and Fang Zhi went out and rushed to Taiji Palace.The three of them were all in Yan Li's family's carriage.On the way, the three of them talked about the fireworks in Taiji Palace last night.Most people in Chang'an City didn't know what the vision of Taiji Palace was going on last night.However, Zhao Yunze, Yan Liben, and Fang Zhi are all high-ranking officials of the Arsenal Special Administration, and they all know the bottom of this matter."
Our arsenal has earned face for Your Majesty, and I think that in this new year, Your Majesty will definitely take more care of the arsenal agency, and our funds will be more generous."
Fang Zhi said excitedly.Zhao Yunze said: "That's also Brother Fang and Brother Yan's business."
I am afraid that I will not be blessed to receive this blessing. ”"Brother Zhao, why do you say this, you are the chief officer of our arsenal," Yan Liben asked in surprise.Zhao Yunze smiled a little disappointedly and said, "I'm thinking, Your Majesty will soon adjust my ministry." ”Fang Zhi and Yan Liben glanced at each other in surprise, and Yan Liben immediately said: "Brother Zhao founded the Arsenal Department a few years ago, and he made all kinds of contributions, and he plotted to make trouble, which is even more of a great achievement.His Majesty's adjustment of Brother Zhao's ministry is also the proper meaning of the question.I want to congratulate Brother Zhao in advance on his promotion. ”Fang Zhi also understood, and hurriedly congratulated Zhao Yunze."
It's too early to say that you will be promoted," Zhao Yunze said with a slight smile.The reason why he judged that Li Shimin would adjust his ministry was not because of those merits, but because of the affairs of the Dragon Protector Society.The Dragon Guardian Society is an intelligence agency, and the Arsenal Department is a place for the manufacture of weapons with great lethality, both of which are very important to Datang.Zhao Yunze speculated that it was impossible for Li Shimin to hand over these two important departments to one person at the same time, unless he had a good brain.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is an unwritten rule that the officials of the imperial court pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.Since it is an unwritten rule, there is no stipulation that only sample-level officials are qualified to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.Therefore, there were a lot of officials who came to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor this morning, and almost all the high-ranking officials in the capital came.Even, officials from several counties near Chang'an also rushed over.The gate of Taiji Palace has not yet opened, and hundreds of officials have gathered in front of the gate of Taiji Palace, making a lot of noise, like a vegetable market.In addition to congratulating each other on the New Year, the theme of the discussion was also the vision of the Taiji Palace last night.Except for a very small number of officials who knew the secrets of the Arsenal Special Office who could deduce what was going on in the vision of the Taiji Palace last night, most of the officials couldn't understand what was going on with the vision.There are officials who are good at patting the emperor's ass, and like ordinary people, they say that it is a miracle from heaven.So, before he could see Li Shimin, the front of Taiji Palace was drowned out by a wave of praise for Li Shimin's sycophancy.Not long after Zhao Yunze, Yan Liben, and Fang Zhi arrived at the gate of Taiji Palace, the gate of Taiji Palace opened.Although it was a spontaneous New Year's greeting, the officials still walked into the Taiji Palace according to their grades.Since Zhao Yunze became an official, he has only officially participated in three court meetings.The first time was the great reward after the Weishui Alliance, the second time was the ceremony of Li Shimin's canonization of the crown prince, and the third time was the last early dynasty a year ago.Every time he participated in the court meeting, Zhao Yunze stood in the last column.But today, Zhao Yunze's position is in the middle.Behind him, there were countless officials in green robes and green robes.There are too many officials who came today, and the Taiji Hall can't stand at all, and nearly half of the officials didn't even enter the Taiji Hall, and stood directly on the steps outside the hall.As soon as he entered the Taiji Hall, Zhao Yunze's position was relatively backward.He looked back at the officials outside the hall and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.I can't even see the emperor's face, and I don't know what these people are doing to join in the fun.Not long after the hundred officials stood still, the eunuch shouted: "The Emperor Taishang has arrived, His Majesty has arrived" Immediately after, Li Shimin supported Li Yuan, and walked out of the side hall of the Taiji Hall under the support of a large group of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids.In fact, Li Yuan's body is still very tough, and he doesn't need to be supported at all.Li Shimin did this, and it was mostly a show.When the officials saw that the emperor was also coming, they were a little surprised.But they still bowed to Li Yuan and Li Shimin in accordance with the court rituals.did not hear the previous voice of "all the ministers are flat", and the officials secretly looked at Li Shimin and Li Yuan.I saw Li Shimin supporting Li Yuan and letting him sit on the seat of the previous emperor.And Li Shimin himself retreated from the imperial steps, walked to the front of the hundred officials, and knelt down."
The child led a group of civil and military forces to pay New Year's greetings to his father, and his father was blessed with Jin'an" Li Shimin kowtowed to Li Yuan.As soon as the officials saw Li Shimin's behavior like this, they didn't know what to do.So, inside and outside the Taiji Palace, there was a sound of greetings."
Emperor Taishang Wanfu Jin'an" Zhao Yunze couldn't help but praise Li Shimin in his heart, look at the show of His Majesty Li Er, a filial emperor, "Erlang, hurry up and exempt all the Qing families, I also give you New Year's greetings, all of them are exempt from courtesy." ”Old man Li Yuan was very happy at this time, stroking his beard and smiling happily.Li Shimin stood up, and the officials also thanked him.An attendant had already laid another cushion on Li Yuan's side, and Li Shimin sat down next to Li Yuan.Both father and son wore bright yellow crowns and identical costumes.People who don't know the inside story still think that there are two emperors sitting in the court today
