After three rounds of tea, Yin Jianghong stood up and said: "It's almost time, you can find time to stroll around the rest of the palace, now it's time to get down to business."
'Business? '
After seeing Yin Jianghong's "wretched" side in Yuxiu Palace, Jiang Beiran was a little unsure of what he was talking about...whether it was serious or not.
After leaving the imperial garden and walking for a long time, the most magnificent palace Jiang Beiran had ever seen after entering the palace appeared in front of him.
"This is where you will go to court every day from now on, Xuan Ting Hall."
'What a bad name...'
Jiang Beiran, who felt that the name was a warning, couldn't help complaining in his heart.
"Let's go, the officials have been waiting for you in the palace for a long time."
Following Yin Jianghong's footsteps, Jiang Beiran came to the front of Xuanting Hall. The eunuch who had been kneeling here for a long time raised his voice when he saw Jiang Beiran, and shouted in his sharp voice: "The emperor is here!!"
Following the first sound of "The Emperor is here", the 100-meter-high stairs also sounded one after another, "The Emperor is here!"
Then I saw a sedan chair team consisting of dozens of people walking towards Jiang Beiran.
At the same time, an eunuch whose knees were numb stood up and walked to Jiang Beiran and said, "Your Majesty, please board the sedan chair."
Jiang Beiran glanced at the eunuch, then at the eight-carrying sedan chairs, waved away and said, "What kind of sedan chairs do you sit on this road? I can walk by myself, so get off."
The eunuch seemed to have something to say after hearing this, but in the end he stepped aside respectfully.
Seeing the emperor coming up the steps of the main entrance, the officials in Xuanting Hall were obviously not used to it, because this road is usually used by officials, and the emperor has another way to go to court.
But if they are not used to it, they still walked out of Xuanting Hall and lined up neatly in three rows at the door. When Jiang Beiran climbed halfway up the stairs, an eunuch shouted loudly: "Kneel!"
All the officials immediately knelt down in unison.
"Mountain hoo!"
"Long live!"
"Mountain hoo!"
"Long live!"
"Hurr again!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Jiang Beiran, who heard the sound of "Long Live" from a long way away, still walked up unhurriedly until he saw all the officials kneeling together.
'Yo, this official uniform is quite gaudy. '
I saw official uniforms of red, green, blue, purple, yellow, and blue on the officials.
Let Jiang Beiran accidentally sing it in his heart.
With a glance, Jiang Beiran found that although the colors of the official uniforms were chaotic, the arrangement was not chaotic. There was a row of purple, a row of red, and a row of yellow.
'This imperial court is much better than I imagined. '
Jiang Beiran originally thought that the undervalued court would be very casual, but now it seems that he is quite self-improving.
"Pingshen, come in with me."
Stepping into Xuanting Hall, Jiang Beiran looked up.
'Holy dude... I'm so fucking direct dude. '
Jiang Beiran felt that the first few palaces had been built quite luxuriously, but compared with this Xuanting Palace, it was not at the same level at all.
From the algae well to the floor tiles of the Xuanting Hall, even the pillars next to it are all gold.
Moreover, there are not only "vulgar things" like gold in the palace. Liang Fang's color paintings are also very beautiful. You must know that Jiang Beiran is also a master in this respect, and if he can make him feel good-looking, then it is by no means ordinary.
'That's right, it's interesting to be the emperor. '
Stepping on the steps made of white marble, Jiang Beiran and Yin Jianghong walked up to the highest point together, but when Jiang Beiran was hesitating whether to sit on this more luxurious dragon chair in front of Yin Jianghong in front of so many people, Yin Jianghong said softly: "Sit down, start now, you are the host here, and I am the guest, so don't take my face too seriously."
'It's so considerate...it made me a little panicked. '
When we were two just now, Jiang Beiran was fine with being casual, but now in front of all the officials, if he sat down and Yin Jianghong stood beside him, Yin Jianghong would look like a bodyguard. Forget it, the bodyguard is too much, like A protector is ready.
In short, it looks like Jiang Beiran is a head down from him.
Yin Jianghong didn't even mind this, it can only be said that he was too grandiose, if it was Guan Shi'an, he would definitely be reluctant.
Just as Jiang Beiran gave in a few more words, Yin Jianghong pushed him on the dragon chair again.
All the officials in the hall obviously knew Yin Jianghong, and knew that he was one of the real talkers in Fengzhou. Seeing him standing next to Jiang Beiran like a guardian, the officials were a little surprised.
'The new emperor's face is so great that he can make the devil willingly stand aside. '
'Could it be that the new emperor has some ulterior blood relationship with this devil? '
'This new emperor's background is probably bigger than what we thought before... It's better to avoid causing trouble. '
…
Seeing the way all the officials bowed their heads, Jiang Beiran, who had never been an emperor, didn't know what to say next.
'If there is a book to play, but no book to retreat? '
But Jiang Beiran felt that Yin Jianghong should not just take him for a cutscene, so after a strange silence, Jiang Beiran decided to play freely.
"You all raise your heads, let me see what all your lovers look like."
Without any hesitation, all the officials raised their heads and looked at Jiang Beiran.
'Yo, there are a lot of young faces. '
Jiang Beiran thought that the people who could get into the court were basically old things who had matured, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few who looked young.
Generally speaking, there are two extremes in the situation where there are several young officials in the court.
One is that the imperial court is extremely corrupt, buying and selling officials frantically, as long as your family has money, any kind of son can be sent in to become a high-ranking official.
The second is that the imperial court is extremely enlightened, and those who are capable can be promoted exceptionally, regardless of seniority, and never rely on the old to sell the old.
'Since Deng Bo didn't do good deeds, Yin Laohu said that he was considered a talent, and his subordinates should still be a little capable. '
Just as Jiang Beiran recognized the faces below one by one, an eunuch on the side timidly hesitated to move forward. What he was afraid of now was not Jiang Beiran, but the devil beside him.
But after hesitating again and again, the eunuch finally plucked up the courage to go to Jiang Beiran's side and said, "Your Majesty... what do you want to say, let the slaves convey it to the ministers, and be careful not to hurt the dragon's throat."
Jiang Beiran glanced at him, waved his hand away and said, "No need to bother, step back."
"Yes." The eunuch made a bow and immediately stepped aside.
Before finding out the temper of the new emperor, eunuchs like them absolutely dare not say a word.
After almost recognizing all the faces, Jiang Beiran said, "You don't have to be so cautious, you just come as usual, can you have a book?"
The officials couldn't help looking at each other after hearing this, no one dared to be the first "early bird".
So they all lowered their heads again.
"Don't talk? If you don't talk, I'll call the roll call directly. Yes, if you lower your head, I like the one with the lowest nod."
As soon as this remark came out, a young official raised his head in fright.
"Very well, it's you, come out." Jiang Beiran pointed at the young official who raised his head and shouted.
'? ? ? '
The young official was full of doubts, the one who agreed to find the lowest pressure, the emperor didn't follow the rules...
But the emperor personally called the roll call, what else could he do, he could only walk tremblingly into the middle.
'Tsk... Seems like the worst case scenario. '
Jiang Beiran said a word just now, and there were not many people who raised their heads. At first glance, they looked like a group of scheming old foxes, but these young people were all upright. They raised their heads one after another. They really didn't look shrewd. look.
The young official walked to the middle and thought for a while, and finally bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I... I have nothing to say."
'tsk. '
As the court quieted down again, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized that he couldn't even learn from the emperor's court that he had seen in previous TV dramas, because it was impossible for him to appear as an emperor in his era.
First of all, he is an "airborne" emperor, unlike those emperors who succeeded in the rebellion, all of whom had their own team of founding heroes, who needed both literature and martial arts.
Secondly, he is not a crown prince. You must know that there is a team behind a successful crown prince. Ascend to the throne, those courtiers who assist him will be promoted to high-ranking officials in minutes, and continue to solve his problems.
Three times, is there any emperor in history who was driven out like him? Yes, and there are many, but generally this kind of emperor who has been driven away by the duck has no real power at all, and the real power is in the hands of the powerful minister who treats him as a duck and catches up to the throne.
Then it's easy for the emperor to be an emperor. Generally, he only needs to look at the powerful ministers and say "Zhu Zou" and "Reconsider", and other powerful ministers will help him.
Although Jiang Beiran was caught up to the throne inexplicably, the real power of the emperor was firmly in his hands, not to mention the ministers of power, there was not a single minister of slander.
'The bare emperor with absolute power, let the emperors of the past dynasties hear it, I'm afraid they will be envious and crazy. '
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to break the deadlock, an old official in purple clothes raised a jade wat board and said.
This wat board, also known as the hand board, is a tool used by ministers when they meet the king. Its function is a bit like the hand card of the host. Write down the words to the king on this wat board to prevent yourself from forgetting.
Jiang Bei saw that the old minister's eyeballs staring at the wat board rolled from time to time, so he knew that there was something written on it, which meant that this person came prepared.
So Jiang Beiran said happily: "Zuzao."
So the veteran walked to the middle and bowed: "Your Majesty, Dongzhou County has been suffering from drought for many years, and this year's famine has reached an unstoppable level. I also ask Your Majesty to order you to save the people of Dongzhou County from the fire and water."
After hearing this, all the ministers showed surprised eyes. They didn't expect Shang Shuling to say this suddenly. You must know that this new emperor is on the throne for the first time. Even if it's not to play some good things to coax, at least don't make trouble.
Jiang Beiran was also a little surprised. Although he had never been in contact with court affairs, he had heard that all of these ministers were human beings, and their ability to throw blame was absolutely top-notch.
Those who can play such "bad things" in the court are either really thinking about the country or the country, or they want to use this to impeach some people.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran asked, "Does Aiqing have any ideas?"
Nashang Shuling continued to bow down and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter, and draft a memorial to submit to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty agrees, I will do my best to solve Dongzhou County's urgent needs."
"Okay, ready to play."
Although Jiang Beiran didn't even know the minister's name, he was very curious about what the minister wanted to do.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bowing deeply to Jiang Beiran, the veteran stepped aside.
Seeing the success of the Shang Shuling, the other officials were also a little ready to move, but at this moment Jiang Beiran stood up and said: "Then today's court meeting will end here. I have remembered many people and retreated from the court."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he walked to the eunuch who wanted to help him pass the message just now.
The eunuch was quite smart, and immediately understood what Jiang Beiran meant, and took Jiang Beiran to leave Xuanting Palace by another road.
Yin Jianghong just left with Jiang Beiran silently. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word.
Following Jiang Beiran's departure, all the ministers in the court fell into a daze again, and they were a little confused by the new emperor.
However, they did not criticize in the main hall, but waited until they had withdrawn from the Xuanting Hall, and then discussed under the steps.
"Those cultivators sent a warrior to be the emperor? This person doesn't pay attention to etiquette at all."
"Shhh, keep your voice down, that devil... Yin Hierarch is still here, I think the new emperor really doesn't understand the court affairs at all, so it's fine, you and I can relax."
"What do you mean by Shi Shangshu's move today?"
"Shangshu Shi is something we can guess, we should hurry back to the house, just wait for the situation, why should we be so serious."
"Hey... If the former emperor is still here, our Sheng Kingdom..."
"Hush! Don't die, you, hurry up and go away."
…
While the officials were discussing Jiang Beiran, the new emperor, Jiang Beiran had already walked out of the Xuanting Hall and walked side by side with Yin Jianghong on the avenue.
"Why did you leave so suddenly?" Yin Jianghong asked.
"It's not that I want to leave so suddenly. I don't even know their names, let alone their ranks. Today is just to get to know each other. Master Yin, you don't really want me to act like an ancient Mingjun for you on the spot." see?"
Yin Jianghong laughed after hearing this, and said, "Hahaha, not bad, dare to talk to me."
Jiang Beiran didn't know whether it was really good or not, but judging from Yin Jianghong's reaction, he was very happy with the closeness he showed.
As for why Jiang Beiran did this, the reason is also very simple. Since entering the palace, Yin Jianghong has frequently expressed kindness to him, telling her own life story, or showing no pretensions in Yuxiu Palace. It's also good to go shopping.
These are all good behaviors.
If Jiang Beiran didn't return the intention of being close at all, it would be too ignorant of flattery.
After laughing happily, Yin Jianghong said: "If you do this, those ministers may think that I have brought a disciple who doesn't understand anything to empty their court."
After listening, Jiang Beiran replied with a smile: "They didn't think wrong, I really don't understand anything now."
