Chapter 221 Court Meeting ([-])

Looking at the little eunuch holding the imperial edict in his hand, the hearts of all the courtiers instantly lifted into the air. They knew what this imperial edict meant to them.

Say something bad.

Whether these courtiers can eat delicious food or drink spicy food depends on the edict in the hands of the little eunuch.

This is a canonized decree.

It is the imperial decree of the new emperor's enthronement to the servants of the dragon who supported him.

One radish and one hole, if someone ascends to the position, someone will naturally step down, so everyone's attention was immediately focused on this little eunuch who was carrying the imperial edict.

Under the eyes of the officials, the little eunuch calmed down slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty has an order to reward all the officials, and all the officials listen quietly."

Under the words, all the officials standing in the court hall held their breath and listened intently.

The imperial decree is a decree written by one person, so not far behind the little eunuch, there is another little eunuch, and this little eunuch is specially to deliver the imperial decree to the little eunuch who reads the imperial decree.

The first imperial decree was for Empress Li.

Li Niangniang was the queen of the previous official family, and she supported Zhao Qi openly in public.In terms of emotion and reason, they are the first to be rewarded.This award does not require Li Niangniang to come out to receive the order, but it needs to be read to all court ministers so that all court ministers can know.

This represents Zhao Qi's attitude towards Li Niangniang.

It is filial piety.

The purpose is to block the mouths of people in the world.

After all, the Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

During the Great Court Meeting, the public announcement of this news was to win over and appease the former Empress Li Niangniang, and took the opportunity of reading the imperial decree in public to tell Li Niangniang that from now on, you will be the Empress Dowager, the most honorable woman in the Song Dynasty.

As long as the empress dowager lives in peace and contentment, the empress dowager and the family behind the empress dowager can enjoy the glory and wealth. As long as the empress dowager lives, she can enjoy the glory and wealth for as long as possible. Tube.

really.

As soon as the words fell, the little eunuch who was hiding at the side hurriedly left, probably to report the good news to Li Niangniang as soon as possible.

The second edict was for Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

Jia Sidao had worked in the position of prime minister for more than ten years, and had many disciples and solid officials. Zhao Qi needed Jia Sidao's support, so the second imperial decree was canonized Jia Sidao.

But since Jia Sidao is the prime minister himself, if he is further canonized, he has to be canonized as the king of the opposite sex.There is no king of the opposite sex in the Song Dynasty, so after discussing with Dong Tiancheng, Zhao Qi decided to make Jia Sidao the head of state.

The so-called head of state.

In fact, he is the emperor's father-in-law, but there has never been such a canonization by the emperor before, and now Zhao Qi canonize Jia Sidao as the head of the country, which can be regarded as creating a new river.

First, Jia Sidao was the prime minister, with many disciples and officials; second, he was Zhao Qi’s father-in-law; Purpose.

Jia Sidao didn't know what the purpose was, but he didn't accept Zhao Qi's kindness, and still knelt down on the ground.

In this regard.

Zhao Qi didn't say anything, but gave the little eunuch who read the imperial decree a look.

The little eunuch who caught Zhao Qi's gaze held the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Jia Sidao accepts the edict."

Jia Sidao knelt down on the ground and shouted long live.

Such a well-behaved posture also made Dong Tiancheng who was standing on the side sigh silently in his heart, an old fox is an old fox, and he is really impeccable in doing things.

look.

For Jia Sidao, I still have to be very careful.

When Dong Tiancheng was thinking carefully, the little eunuch had already started to read aloud, "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Jia Sidao, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was ordered by the late emperor to be in charge of the court officials. , when there is a rebellion, protecting me and enthroning, I have made great contributions to me, and Jia Sidao is made the head of the country. From now on, if you see me, you don’t have to worship, the head of the country, Jia Sidao, the prime minister, accept the order!"

See me not to worship.

It is equivalent to seeing the emperor without saluting.

This favor.

Not too small.

So even the well-informed Jia Sidao was slightly shocked.He knew that as a civil servant and an official prime minister, his official position has come to an end. If he wants to go further, unless he becomes the king of the opposite sex, the key lies in the relationship. The Song Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, and there is no such title as the king of the opposite sex, so Jia Sidao gave up. up.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Qi canonized Jia Sidao as the head of the country, she gave Jia Sidao the privilege of not having to salute when seeing officials.

This honor is similar to that of ministers of other dynasties who brought swords into the palace, and it is a kind of affirmation of the ministers by the officials.

of course.

There is also a situation where ministers enter the palace with swords. At that time, the ministers are strong and the emperor is weak.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was called the weak Song Dynasty by later generations, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, there was no situation where the ministers were strong and the emperor was weak. This has a lot to do with the founding foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

The foundation of the Song Dynasty was the joint rule of the world by the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats.

It is precisely because of this concept of governing the country that the Song Dynasty emerged in a situation where the culture was strong and the military was weak, and it was dubbed the Weak Song Dynasty by later generations.Therefore, the special honor that Zhao Qi gave Jia Sidao could not have been given under the threat of Jia Sidao.Therefore, Jia Sidao knelt on the ground, thanking En with an excited expression: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The third edict.

It was for the admiral Eker of the infantry yamen.

Eker has worked as the admiral of the Nine Gates for more than ten years, and has many confidantes. Zhao Qi also needs Eker's support, so the third edict was canonized Eker.

Unlike Jia Sidao, the previous Eker, although he was the commander of the infantry yamen, had the official rank of third-rank military officer.

Because of the achievements of Conglong, Zhao Qi directly promoted Eker from the third-rank military officer to the first-rank military officer.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor ordered that Eker, the admiral of the nine gates, was ordered by the first emperor to worship as the commander of the infantry government. A salary of [-] stones, hereby! General E, accept the order!"

Eker knelt on the ground and stood up after shouting "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, thank you Your Majesty Long En".

From a military officer of the first rank, to a general, it is already a step up to the sky.

From then on, Eker can be considered to have stepped into the noble family, and he can be regarded as resting with the country.

That's why Oker was so excited.

In fact, what really excited Eker was not that he became a first-rank military attache, but that when the officials conferred the title of first-rank military attache to Eker, they also conferred the title of Eker's old mother who had passed away many years ago.

This is what makes Eker really excited, and it is also the most fundamental reason why Eker finally decided to support Zhao Qi's ascension. Without the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Eker's hands, Zhao Qi wanted to quell the rebellion and ascend to the throne. I guess it took a lot of work.

Zhao Qi carefully looked at the excited Eker, watched his every move, and thought to himself, judging from Eker's every move, this person was still loyal to the emperor, so he didn't take the opportunity to seize Eker's military power Instead, the military power of Eker was divided into two parts, one part continued to be led by Eker, and the other part was assigned to Dong Tiancheng. This is also the strength of Dong Tiancheng's men. A total of thirty thousand.
