Cao Xin had no choice but to watch his younger brother leave, and told the coachman to go home.
Unexpectedly, not long after they left, the carriage was stopped by someone.
Cao Xin lifted the curtain of the car and found that there were three people blocking him.
The leader is a handsome young man.
"I don't know what's the matter with this young man?"
Cao Xin frowned and asked.
The young man bowed politely and asked, "Miss Cao?"
Cao Xin's frown deepened.
"My surname is Liu, and I work for Taiji. Please, Ms. Cao, come with us!"
Cao Xin's expression changed!
Tai Kee's reputation can't be called bad, but it definitely can't be called good either!
In the eyes of many people, Tai Kee is like the eagle dog of the imperial court!
Seeing that Cao Xin was silent, the young man smiled slightly and said, "Miss Cao, don't worry, your father is already waiting at the headquarters!"
A look of panic flashed in Cao Xin's eyes.
Could it be that the father has some secrets that Taiji has grasped?
"Then follow what the young master said!"
She whispered to the coachman: "You stay outside the palace, the young master will tell him immediately when he comes out, it's best to ask Assistant Teacher Jia to help him!"
After speaking, with the help of several Taiji staff, he sat in a wheelchair and followed them to Taiji headquarters.
Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Palace!
The number of people who came to participate in the Great Court Meeting today can be said to be the most in the year of Zhenguan.
Many old ministers who had ignored political affairs for a long time came to cheer for their juniors.
They knew very well that today's court meeting was just an assessment.
The 100 people selected by the Xue family brothers are all well-known talents in Chang'an City.
Before coming, the wits had already done their homework.
There are even a few who have written a policy in advance and are going to present it to His Majesty.
Under the restraint of the head of the class, Wen Yanbo, all civil and military officials and talented scholars found their positions, and the order was orderly.
Cao Gui followed Jia Tong, looking left and right, his face was full of excitement.
Xuanzheng Hall!
This is Xuanzheng Palace!
All the decrees of the world come out of it!
This is the temple that countless people dream of!
The only thing that attracted him was the architecture.
He didn't have much interest in the officials around him.
Which one of the people from the academy has not seen the Yingying princes in the court?
What's more, he was originally the student leader of this class.
According to the habit of thousands of years, in fact, only the day after the Shangyuan Festival can be called the "Great Court Meeting".
However, times have changed, and the Tang Dynasty is a huge empire far surpassing other dynasties.
Any small decree may have an influence that is thousands of times greater than before.
Therefore, officials are also accustomed to calling the court meeting held every ten days as the "Great Court Meeting".
However, the first court meeting after the Shangyuan Festival is always the highest standard.
Moreover, it takes a full morning.
Because the first thing is not to discuss politics, but the emperor leads the civil and military officials, the palace nobles, to sacrifice to God.
It takes at least half an hour to complete a set of procedures.
After the sacrifice, the gorgeous Xuanzheng Hall no longer attracted Cao Gui much.
"The year is in Bingshen, and the world will be blessed!"
Following the shout of the chief eunuch Liu Jin, everyone in the hall bowed in unison.
"See my emperor!"
Li Er wore a sky-high crown, cloud-climbing boots, and Ming Huangdi robes. He walked slowly up the dragon steps from behind the altar in the center of the hall.
After he sat down, everyone shouted in unison.
"See the prince!"
Li Chengqian was wearing the five-dragon robe bestowed by the emperor and the nine-pronged crown on his head. He also came to the bottom of the dragon steps from behind the altar.
The demeanor of the emperor and the prince was fully demonstrated by the two of them.
However, when Li Er opened his mouth, he completely destroyed the solemn atmosphere.
"Today the world's talented people enter the palace, and I feel much younger."
The people below laughed dryly, not knowing what the emperor meant.
It could be seen that the emperor was very happy, even excited.
The lessons of history tell them that what makes the emperor so excited is definitely not a good thing for them!
"Today's Great Court Meeting, I don't want to listen to praises, nor do I want to listen to the people's sentiments from the three provinces and six ministries. The topic was sent out early. In contrast, I hope to get some inspiration from the mouths of all insightful people."
While speaking, a group of young people wearing fourth-rank official robes came out and distributed thin pamphlets to everyone in the hall.
People looked at these people in astonishment, speechless.
Only the young officials who had seen these people, as well as Dai Zhou and Wen Yanbo, did not show the slightest surprise.
They seemed to have discussed it a long time ago, and did not tell their colleagues in the court about the existence of these people.
Cao Gui took the booklet and stared blankly at the face of the young fourth-rank official opposite.
"Brother Yuan Jia? Are you brother Yuan Jia?"
The young man he called 'Brother Yuan Jia' smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency must have admitted a mistake."
Cao Gui pulled 'Brother Yuan Jia' and asked anxiously, "Why aren't you Brother Yuan Jia? The classmates all said that you were missing, and your father's mourning hall even went to the academy to look for you. How did you get it?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jia Tong hurriedly grabbed him.
"To shut up!"
Cao Gui trembled all over.
He found that there was a look of pain in the eyes of 'Brother Yuan Jia', but it was fleeting.
'Brother Yuan Jia' took a deep look at him, didn't say anything else, and walked over to distribute pamphlets to others.
Cao Gui was stunned for a moment, then whispered to Jia Tong, "Last year, several students from the academy disappeared for no apparent reason, so it's possible that they are all here."
"To shut up!"
Jia Tong's voice was a little more angry.
Cao Gui didn't dare to speak for a moment.
He suddenly realized that there might be some big secret in it.
Perhaps because he felt that his attitude towards his future brother-in-law was not good, Jia Tong lowered his voice and said, "There are far more than thirty or forty people who were born in the academy. You can recognize them, but they can't? But you Look, do they have one who is as stupid as you?"
In an instant, Cao Gui broke out in a cold sweat.
Hastily lowered his head, for fear of being noticed by the emperor.
Soon, pamphlets were distributed to everyone.
When people opened the booklet, everyone fell into silence.
Chapter 1558 The feat they wanted was delivered to their door by themselves
There isn't much in the brochure.
There are only a few pages, and most of them are pictures, and the text does not exceed three lines in total.
But whether it is a picture or a word, it is shocking!
Tread-tap-
Several old officials stood up suddenly, rushed to the center of the hall, and knelt on the ground with a 'plop'.
"Your Majesty, don't use weapons!"
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, our Central Plains has been a state of etiquette. If you don't accept enlightenment, you can send great Confucians to go there. Why do you have to attack?"
"Now that the river is clear and the sea is clean, the people of the world enjoy peace and well-being. If there is a war, it will definitely be a waste of money for the people. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, don't follow the old path of the pre-Qin period. The world has suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time. Do you want this sentence to become the world's bitter Tang?!"
Li Er sat there with a smile, not affected by the words of the veterans at all.
Liu Jin stepped forward and reprimanded, "Hustle!"
Li Er waved Liu Jin to retreat, and said with a smile, "Do you think I am the cruel Qin Shihuang?"
"Think twice, Your Majesty! We are willing to go to the barren land and educate the local people. Why should we slaughter their lives?"
The veterans knocked their heads to the ground one by one.
No one came out to help, and no one came out to stop it.
This thing is really too big!
Even the belligerent veterans didn't say a word.
"Prince, Your Highness, please say something, please persuade Your Majesty!"
An old minister crawled to Li Chengqian's feet, pleading bitterly.
Some people also came to Dai Zhou and Wen Yanbo's feet.
"Dai Xiang, Wen Xiang, I, Tang Dynasty, must not use swords or weapons, this is the way to perish!"
Looking at these veteran officials who didn't know how to live or die, Dai Zhou felt sad and angry at the same time.
In the booklet in his hand, there are more than a dozen maps drawn.
In each map, there are several countries!
Dai Zhou even recognized that these maps were completely carved from the map of the Liu family!
Mohe in the north and west, Pyu in the south, Silla in the east, and Daqin in the west!
Except for a few countries, all of them are marked in dazzling blood red!
The ones that are not marked, only those a few days ago, sent envoys to the country of Chang'an.
In other words, Datang will be the enemy of the whole world!
Except for those countries, the emperor intends to go all out and beat up all the remaining countries!
As for extermination
That's simply not realistic.
Even if Datang wiped them out, there would not be so many people to manage.
The only thing that made Dai Zhou feel lucky was that the two powerful empires, Dashi and Byzantium, did not appear on the emperor's attack list
"Your Majesty, don't use weapons!"
"Don't use weapons!"
Those old ministers were still begging.
