Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Datang AD 22, February [-]th.

Today's Lunar New Year of the Tang Dynasty is the first big court meeting of the Tang Dynasty, but this year is different from the past. This year's big court meeting Li Shimin not only has a big banquet for the officials, but also has an unprecedented scale.

Because the National Central Confidential Conference formulated by Changsun Wuji will be officially held after Yuanzheng.

The top local officials in each Daozhou have to return to Beijing to report on their work, and these meetings are held. The meeting is held every two years, and this year is the first time.

The main discussion is to make new changes and deletions to the laws of the Tang Dynasty and vote on them.

Therefore, this year is the year with the most complete number of officials in the Tang Dynasty, so the number of officials at Li Shimin's banquet will naturally increase.

The Taiji Hall has undergone relevant renovations. The area of ​​the Taiji Hall is actually very large. Apart from the main hall for daily government affairs, if the side halls on both sides are remodeled, it can accommodate thousands of people.

And this year's Datang will no longer implement the meal-sharing system, mainly because the meal-sharing system takes up too much space, and will implement a group meal system for ten people at a single table similar to the later generations.

In this way, more officials can be concentrated at that time. Counting the officials returning to Beijing, the total number of officials in the two side halls is close to 800.

I am afraid that Li Shimin has never seen such a large number of officials before, and this is also because some of the local deputies must have not come.

And there are too many officials from aristocratic families represented at this meeting. With their sensitivity, it is estimated that the clothes on Changle and the others will definitely attract their attention.

This year's court meeting must have the largest number of officials, about 200 people. For example, the governors from all over the country have the right to go to court, but because they are out of town, they will naturally go to court after returning to Beijing.

After the officials said hello, Li Shimin sat down in his seat. To be honest, looking at the officials below, Li Shimin was also a little emotional. He never thought of holding a court meeting with so many officials at the same time before.

"Although today is the Grand Court Meeting, the main purpose is to meet and chat with everyone, and we will not talk about redundant work. We will discuss it when the National Central Congress is held."

"As for some memorials from the local area, after the Yuanzheng, all the love ministers will submit their own papers. The central meeting is tentatively scheduled for three days. After three days, you can stay in Chang'an for fifteen days."

"These [-] days are for the various departments of Ai Qing and Shangshu Province to communicate with each other. The Tang Dynasty Hall is undergoing restructuring, and the local government must also undergo restructuring. Because of the timeliness of this restructuring, it must be in the policy, etc. If there is a misunderstanding on the side, if you don’t understand, take this opportunity to ask quickly.”

Li Shimin sat in his seat and began to speak. Today's court meeting was originally held late, at [-] o'clock in the morning, and Li Shimin's words at this moment made everyone a little stunned.

Is this too brief?Is this still the old Majesty?Shouldn't the previous His Majesty have such an opportunity to diligently listen to the reports of the officials below?What they didn't expect was that there was something even more outrageous next.

"Okay, now everyone can go to the banquet halls on both sides of the Taiji Hall to sit and drink tea and chat. At noon, everyone will have a meal together. Here, I also wish you a happy new year." Li Shimin smiled. He stood up and arched his hands at everyone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and saluted Li Shimin in a daze.

Is this over?

"Li Ke, would you like to say a few words?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke below and asked.

Li Ke: "..."

Li Ke also looked at Li Shimin with an unbelievable expression on his face, it's broken, the old man has also learned such a lazy way.

And... Dear father, what should I say about this situation? I have nothing to say.

"Father, I don't have one." Li Ke said helplessly.

"Okay, that's it. Everyone, let's disband. The banquet will officially start at 11:[-] noon, and I will go back to get ready." Li Shimin stood up and said.

Seeing Li Shimin leave, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. This...is a bit weird, but His Majesty also made it clear that although they prepared some memorials, they were not really urgent.

After all, unless there is a special emergency on the first day of the new year, no one will do such things that affect people's mood. These memorials are more about reports.

But now that Li Shimin is gone, everyone in the hall is a little speechless, so... are you going?

"Okay, everyone, let's go, today's court meeting is over." In the end, Li Ke said helplessly.

I have to say something here, Li Chengqian is no longer here, he went to Youzhou when he said he was going to Youzhou, probably more than a month ago, and went down by boat.

So now among these princes, Li Ke is the oldest. Naturally, he spoke directly, and after speaking, Li Ke took the lead and walked out.

After Li Ke said so, everyone naturally followed Li Ke and walked out to the gate of the Taiji Hall. After leaving the gate, they found that there were some young eunuchs standing outside at some point.

"Everyone can go to the side hall to have tea." These little eunuchs all said one after another.

Among these ministers, Fang Xuanling and the others naturally walked in the front and entered the side hall, where round tables and chairs had already been placed, and there were already young eunuchs and maids waiting here.

Other than that, there was no one else. After Li Ke casually found a table and sat down, a nearby maid immediately came over silently with a teapot to refill a cup of tea for Li Ke.

Fang Xuanling and the others purposely did not gather together, but each found a table. They knew very well that what they did today was to give everyone a time to communicate.

If these people were sitting together, who would come over to ordinary officials?

After Feng An entered the side hall, he looked left and right, and saw His Highness King Qin sitting alone at a table, he thought for a while, and then simply walked over.

Feng An's behavior seemed to activate these officials, and everyone went to their own goals.

"Your Highness." Walking to Li Ke's side, Feng An cupped his hands at Li Ke.

"Geng Guogong, sit down." Li Ke smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, "My father has already said, everyone can chat freely, you are welcome."

"Yes." Feng An also smiled, and simply sat down on the seat, and the maid next to him immediately came over to refill tea.

"Chang'an has really changed a lot. When I came last time, I could still see some ruins amidst the prosperity, but now...the whole Chang'an is thriving, and the changes in the whole Chang'an city make me feel It's a refreshing feeling." Feng Ang said with emotion.

"Normally, it's not just Chang'an, the changes in various parts of the Tang Dynasty will be faster and faster. Not to mention anything else, the same will be true of Geng Guogong and your Gaozhou. Don't tell me otherwise." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Indeed." Feng An thought for a while, and he couldn't understand the changes in Gaozhou.
