Ten years ago, or even five years ago, every official in the hall would never have imagined that one day, they would be able to witness such a grand meeting.
Politics, economy, population, farming, business... almost every aspect they can think of is booming at a gratifying speed.
In the past, they couldn't see Jingguo's future because they were confused.
Now they still can't see the future of Jingguo, because the rapid development of Jingguo has far exceeded their imagination.
Of course, the Great Dynasty will bring not only happiness but also worry to the officials.
Especially after Chen Chong, the governor of Shuzhou, gave the performance, almost half of the people in the court changed their faces.
Doubt, shock, disbelief, and deep regret.
This is the first time Chen Chong, the governor of Shuzhou, participated in the Great Court Meeting.
Whether it is a veteran who has stood in the court for more than ten years, or a newly promoted official in the court in recent years, he is no stranger to the name Chen Chong.
The former Chen Guogong's mansion was so prominent, not to mention covering the sky with one hand, but throwing a brick on the street can hit a marquis in Kyoto. The Chen family is already one of the few families at the top.
The Chen family used to be brilliant, but because of its involvement in the Cui family's rebellion, it fell overnight, and later, it completely disappeared in the capital.
Some people knew that he was the governor of Shuzhou in King Jing's fief, while others completely forgot about him.
Today, this former man of the capital once again came before everyone's attention.
He brought several messages.
In the past five years, the population of Shuzhou has officially surpassed that of Kyoto, becoming the most populous city in Jingguo.
Shuzhou's tax revenue last year was 20% of the entire Jing Kingdom's tax revenue.
This is not more than that, and it saves them some face.
But that was just Shuzhou, and Shuzhou's tax revenue was 20% of Jingguo's tax revenue, which meant that a single state in Shuzhou was already worth more than ten states of Jingguo.
But this has nothing to do with them.
Because as early as five years ago, the courtiers unanimously discussed and almost couldn't wait to give all the taxation rights of Shuzhou for fifty years to King Jing, and they even gave the entire Shuzhou to King Jing. Send two more...
At that time, they thought that as long as he could leave the capital, it would be fine.
Five years ago, one prefecture in Jingguo was worth more than ten Shu prefectures, and five years later, one Shu prefecture was worth more than ten common prefectures in Jingguo, which was a hundredfold increase.
It's only been five years, and no one knows what Shuzhou will be like fifty years later.
The palace is full of courtiers, their intestines are already green with regret.
They couldn't help turning their heads to look at the figure standing in the front, not knowing whether it was fear or respect...
Li Yi has been watching the progress of the Dachaohui.
After the officials of Jingguo's state capitals finished their work reports, the envoys from various countries will meet with them next.
A few years ago, Jing Guo was weak, and the envoys of Qi and Zhao countries were in Jing Guo's golden palace, as if they were in their own garden, and their words and deeds were quite inappropriate.
Today, the situation is completely different.
The envoys of many small countries, after presenting heavy gifts, faintly expressed their intention of submitting.
The envoys of the Wu Kingdom did not send gifts, and Her Majesty the Empress only sent someone to send a letter of credence.
Wu State and Jing State formally established diplomatic relations in the first month of the fifth year of Jinghe. After that, they became friendly neighbors, non-aggressive to each other, removed trade barriers, and opened up business with each other...
The gifts sent by Zhao Guo's envoys were very heavy, because they came to ask for help. Qi's army was about to approach Zhao's imperial city. If Jing Guo didn't help, Zhao Guo would disappear in a short time. In the long river of history…
Although the envoys of the Qi State were not as enthusiastic as those of the Wu State, they also expressed the meaning of establishing diplomatic relations. When they spoke, the envoys of the Zhao State had a dead face from the beginning to the end...
The Great Court started in the morning and lasted for several hours until it was almost in the afternoon.
Several veteran generals and some veteran officials in the court were seated by Li Xuan long before the start of the court meeting, while those young officials were standing the whole time, and when they came out after the court meeting, they were almost all limping .
After a few hours, Li Yizi didn't feel anything. After the Great Court was over, he was the first to leave.
Not far away, a hurried voice came from behind.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, His Royal Highness King Jing!"
The voice was very familiar. Li Yi turned around and saw Wei Liang trotting towards him.
Wei Liang came here with the envoy of Wu Kingdom this time. Li Yi saw him just now, but it was difficult to speak under the circumstances at that time.
Li Yi and Wei Liang haven't seen each other for a long time. They smiled, looked at him and asked, "Is your Majesty the Queen okay?"
Wei Liang showed a smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, everything is fine, but the state affairs are a little busy every day..."
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, the pearl is like this, and so is Yang Liuqing.
Wu Guo has just settled down, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. Naturally, she has to be extra busy, and there are many things to learn that she has never touched before.
However, with old man Wang and the others watching by his side, nothing big will go wrong.
"Brother Li, long time no see."
Another voice came from beside him, Li Yi turned his head and saw Yang Yanzhou who had just walked out of the hall.
This time he was on behalf of Zhao Yi, the purpose of which was naturally to block Jing Guo's assistance to Zhao Guo.
However, Jing Guochao had already come to a conclusion on this.
Although Jing Guohe and Zhao Guo have old grievances, Qi Guo is ambitious, and he must not let Qi Guo sit on the throne. Half a month ago, the order to send troops to stop Qi Guo and assist Zhao Guo has been sent out in a hurry. Until now , Presumably the Jingguo army on the border of Qi and Zhao has already made some moves.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "If you don't follow Zhao Yi, what are you doing here? Zhao Yi won't be ignorant. It doesn't matter who you send to this matter."
Yang Yanzhou smiled and said, "Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know."
"Tried it now, does it work?"
Yang Yanzhou shook his head with a wry smile.
Li Yi was too lazy to talk to him about these things, so he waved his hand casually, and said, "Before I came out, there was still soup in the pot. If you don't talk about state affairs, you can come to King Jing's Mansion if you have time..."
"Sure!" Wei Liang waved his hand.
Yang Yanzhou smiled and said, "In that case, Yanzhou will visit Brother Li tomorrow."
…
All the officials who came out of the hall saw His Highness King Jing chatting and laughing with the envoys of Qi and Wu countries. It was obviously not the first time they met each other, and they all showed surprise.
Naturally, they would not feel that King Jing was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but even the envoys of Qi and Wu seemed to be on good terms with him.
Whether in the capital or not, King Jing is still the same King...
An official watched King Jing's back disappear, stepped forward a few steps quickly, and said to Prime Minister Shen who was walking slowly: "Prime Minister Shen, Shuzhou, Shuzhou can't just be handed over to King Jing!"
