Chapter 25 Chaohui

The last court meeting of the first year of Tianyun in the Song Dynasty was being held in the Qianming Hall. After the founding of the country, the emperor of the Taizu of the Song Dynasty gave part of the emperor's rights to the four kings. In addition to special events, they were generally handled by the four kings. Unlike the previous dynasty, the daily court meeting was changed to a monthly court meeting. It is equivalent to the normal handling of government affairs and military affairs to be completely handed over to the senate and the military aircraft department to act on behalf of the imperial power, and at some special times, the senate and the military aircraft department can also appropriately reduce the emperor's rights to avoid fainting.

The officials who participate in the monthly court meeting are basically the elders of the Senate and the heads of the Ninth Academy. The military discipline department is the hereditary martial arts marquis and generals. As for the clan government and the supervisory institute, they do not need to participate in the court meeting except for the two kings.

The four kings in the hall sit in front of all the officials closest to the emperor, while the ministers behind can only stand. This is the greatest preferential treatment and difference given to the four kings during the Taizu period.

The emperor sat quietly in the dragon chair and listened to the report of the Senate and the Military Aircraft Office about this month, the situation of the states and the situation of the Song army. After a month's report, the Senate and the Military Aircraft Office slowly retreated to the hundreds of officials.

"Your Majesty, this is about the Yunzhou family." The king of Jin got up and saluted and took this roll of paper and silk in his hand.

"Present it," the emperor said. After hearing the emperor's words, the servant next to him strode to the king of Jin and respectfully presented the roll of paper and silk in front of the emperor.

The emperor picked up the paper and silk and looked at the above content. At this time, the king of Jin also said in a low voice, "More than 30 officials were killed and injured in this Yunzhou family rebellion, and ten officials were killed. Twenty-one officials were slightly injured. More than 50 officials of the family in the imperial court have all been dismissed and beheaded for the crime of rebellion. The four elders of the Senate have been dismissed from their jobs and executed. In addition, no less than a hundred people have colluded with the family.

The officials of the court did not have many expressions in front of the King of Jin, but finally heard that since there were four cabinet elders in the Senate who colluded with the family, all the officials were not only afraid for a while. Although he had known it for a long time, it would not be easy to say it in today, and no one said clearly how powerful a Ge Lao in the Song Dynasty was, and the right that the Ge Lao could best reflect the symbol of power was the emperor's will.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to submit about the military situation in Yunzhou and the southern border city." When the king of Qi saw that the king of Jin finished speaking, he also got up and saluted and took out a roll of paper and silk from his sleeve.

The emperor did not speak but waved his hand to the servant to present the paper silk of the king of Qi.

"This time, our Song Dynasty mobilized the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army of the Fourth Army to suppress the rebellion of the Yunzhou family. Less than 5,000 soldiers in the three armies were killed. The mobilization of the Ninth Army of the Song Dynasty assisted the Second Army of the Song Dynasty in the defense of the border, killing about 50,000 soldiers.

After hearing the number of deaths of the Ninth Army of the Song Dynasty and the Second Army of the Song Dynasty, the emperor slapped the next table heavily. The officials on the ground immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down." And King Feng and King Lu just sat on themselves and closed their eyes to refresh themselves and did not look at the angry emperor and the kneeling officials.

"King of Qi, keep talking." The emperor did not have officials kneeling on the ground, but just said to the king of Qi

"Yes, Your Majesty. Three hereditary martial princes who colluded with the family have now been dismissed and executed. In addition, they have seized a large amount of gold, silver and cultivation materials of the family." After saying that, the king of Qi sat back to his position.

"Well, since there are four cabinet elders in this Yunzhou family rebellion, three hereditary martial princes collude with a hundred officials, it is not the list given to me by the Supervisory Institute and the clan government, otherwise I still don't know. Emperor Taizu gave part of the imperial power to the Senate and the military office in order not to appear as faint as in the previous dynasty, and you used the imperial power on my behalf," the emperor said coldly to the officials.

And the officials kneeling on the ground are sweating coldly one by one, which is the biggest scandal since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Not to mention the hundred officials, the four elders and hereditary martial arts marquis can make the world laugh at the Song Dynasty.

"King of Qi, King of Jin," the emperor said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty" The King of Qi and the King of Jin stood up and saluted

"The Ninth Army of the Song Dynasty and the Second Army of the Song Dynasty merged to form the Second Army of the Song Dynasty. Zhongwuhou entered the military office to claim the military affairs of Yunzhou and Nanzhou." The emperor said

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied the king of Qi.

"Chen Yu was promoted to the cabinet of the Senate, Chen Hong was promoted to the head of the official department of the nine courtyards, and Yi, the former chief of the official department, was promoted to the cabinet of the Senate. The other two elders are sent by Confucians to serve as holy Confucians. The emperor then said to the king of Jin.

"It's Your Majesty," replied the King of Jin.

At this time, the officials were extremely surprised to hear that two of the cabinet elders who filled the vacancy in the Senate were Confucianism, and the reputation of each generation of Confucianism was not lower than that of sentences. Among them, the most unexpected thing is that Xi Yi was suddenly promoted to the cabinet. At this time, Xi Yi was still surprised. If it hadn't been for the minister next to him, he would still be surprised.

"The selection of other officials and sergeants will be handled by the Senate and the Military Aircraft Office. Don't let me down again." The emperor said and left the hall.

When the waiter saw the emperor leaving, he shouted and followed the emperor's footsteps.

The four kings and officials all stood up and said, "Your Majesty"

Out of the Qianming Hall, Zhao Feng looked at the ministers everywhere and shook his head. As soon as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the other three kings.

"Brother Wang, you guys haven't picked up the wind and washed the dust for you this time. Tomorrow night, the king brothers will hold a banquet in the palace of the King of Jin to entertain the king's brother and the meek fairy," the king of Jin said, and the king of Qi and the king of Lu next to him also nodded.

"Brother Wang, why are you so embarrassed? I'm afraid I'll disturb you," Zhao Feng refused

"What's the king's brother say? The king's brother has been going to the wilderness for me for three years, and now he has to face the coming storm. It's the king's brothers who dragged Wang's back." The king of Qi sighed that this time the military office colluded with the people of the Senate. If it weren't for the Fengwang's procuratorate himself, these people would still be in the stock.

"You don't have to refuse," said King Lu.

"In this case, my brother will nagging you tomorrow night," Zhao Feng did not refuse to reply.

"Okay" The King of Jin was just about to say something. A maid trotted over and saluted, "Four princes, Your Majesty has invited King Feng to the Qianling Palace"

After hearing the words of the chamberlain, the other three kings said to Zhao Feng, "Since the emperor invited us, we will leave first." After that, he left the hall.

Zhao Feng looked at the backs of the other three princes and shook his head and said to the maid next to him, "Lead the way"

At this time, the Qingtian Church and the missions of the southern countries have gone to the Song Dynasty to carry out this difficult negotiation.

"I also want to see what the maple king has, who makes the world extremely afraid," said a man wearing the official government of a southern country in the carriage of the mission.
