I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 70. Early Dynasty
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
August 26th.
On this sunny day, Qin Nuo lived in Qianyuan Palace.
One month after Qin Cong's death, the palace regained its third owner in a short period of more than a year.
Inheriting the throne is a complicated process. After Qin Cong’s funeral, Qin Nuo was formally identified as the next emperor, followed by a series of ceremonies such as swearing to the temple, offering sacrifices to the heavens, bathing and fasting, and amnesty for the world. One day is the main thing, and the Ministry of Rites simplified this process as much as possible. Qin Nuo became the emperor only after more than 20 days of red ceremonies.
Standing in the Qianyuan Hall, although I am already very familiar with this place, it is still refreshing now and here.
Actually, the style of the entire palace is completely different from a month ago.
After the funeral, the era of Qin Cong was over, and the palace people quickly rearranged and cleaned the entire palace.
According to Xindi’s taste, every home furnishing and utensil style is his favorite and used to it.
After all, the nine princes have lived in the palace for more than ten years, and the subtle preferences can be easily figured out.
The sleeping hall has been completely renewed. There are not so many golden beads and antique decorations, but a simple atmosphere. Qin Nuo never liked too complicated furnishings and decorations, so the hall was bright and bright and the space was open. Even the surrounding rooms were vacated into a secluded study room, filled with flowers and plants from the warm room.
The bed curtain in the hall is no longer the bright yellow that shows the emperor's majesty, but the sky blue that Qin Nuo gets used to. The embroidery workshop quickly rushed to make the pattern of the five-claw golden dragon hovering around the sea of clouds in a month.
Although everything was the same as his bedroom in the palace, and even more detailed and comfortable, Qin Nuo still suffered from insomnia on the first night of staying in.
In the middle of the night, after tossing and turning, Qin Nuo finally got up from the bed.
Li Wan, who was watching the night before his bed, got up quickly. He had been promoted to one of the directors of the Qianyuan Palace. He could not be watching the night, but Li Wan didn't dare to slack in the slightest.
Several eunuchs immediately lit the lights in front of the temple. Qin Nuo waved his hand to stop everyone from coming forward to serve.
Only put a dark-flowered satin cloak on his shoulders, and let Li Wan hold the bright candle and go to the study at the back of the palace.
The study was silent, with dim lights shining on the tables, chairs and benches.
The servants of the palace came forward silently and offered warm tea and snacks.
Qin Nuo didn't stand at the table for long, but came to the wall behind the screen. On this large wall, there was a map hung, which was the territory map of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Receiving the candlestick from Li Wan's hand, Qin Nuo leaned close to the wall, quietly looking at this delicate and complicated map of the territory.
Suddenly a heavy feeling came up.
From now on, the hundreds of millions of people in the Three Hundred and Eighty-Six Prefectures, Nine Dao, Forty-seven Prefectures, and the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be his responsibility!
The night is deep and the moonlight is like water.
In the deep palace, in a lonely courtyard in the harem, there is also a girl who hasn't slept long at night.
Huo Youjuan is pondering over an article on the desk in front of the window.
"Miss, won't you rest?" Su Rui brought the tea cup, with a cheerful and cheerful expression on her face.
Before the first emperor died, he specifically mentioned the concubines who were drafted into the palace this year in his will. Because they have never been favored, they must not delay their years. According to their personal wishes, the palace will give the money back to the family and they will be married.
This is a rare virtue. A dozen or so young girls who are in their love for life do not have to waste time in the palace. Although some ceremonial officials criticized this, the emperor’s final edict undoubtedly had a stronger authority. In the end, all criticisms were suppressed and quickly implemented.
In the days when the new emperor was enthroned, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already notified everyone of this good news. I just parted with my family and learned that I could be reunited again. Everyone was overjoyed. In these days, concubines kept packing up and were arranged to be sent away with generous rewards.
Today, there is only one lady left in the palace who has not left.
I didn't leave, because the lady didn't want to leave at all, and refused the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs more than ten days ago. Now I am worrying about how to stay in the palace.
Well, what should I say when I am transferred from the imperial concubine to the female officer? Huo Youjuan bit the pen in annoyance, and the white teeth were ravaged, leaving rows of small teeth marks on the round surface of the pen.
I have searched through dynasties’ inner palace classics these days, and I can’t seem to find a suitable example to cite!
No matter, I can't quote the scriptures, so I just write more straightforwardly.
With all my dedication, I finally finished writing an article that had been stuck for a long time, and then carefully transcribed it into a special booklet for the article. After all this is busy, it is already midnight.
Surui urged her to go to bed several times, perhaps because she stayed up too long, but Huo Youjuan was completely drowsy.
She simply walked out the hall with the lantern in her hand.
In the midsummer night, countless stars flickered on the sky. The cool wind blows on the cheeks, which is particularly refreshing and pleasant.
Standing on the high steps, looking far ahead, countless pavilions and palaces fell into a peaceful sleep.
In the distant Qianyuan Palace, did that person sleep well?
Ha, I must be unable to sleep!
Suddenly such a heavy burden fell, and with that person's gentle and gentle temperament, he would definitely be anxious.
Although it didn't help much, if it could help him, even the smallest things would be enough to make her happy. It is not in vain to squeeze out that article for several days.
**********************
Sitting in the study for about an hour, Qin Nuo finally felt a trace of sleepiness coming up.
Go back to the bedroom and close your eyes.
It didn't take long for it to dawn.
Seeing that the early morning hour arrived, Qin Nuoqiang resisted the temptation of being under the covers and struggled to get up.
Under the service of a group of palace people, quickly dressed up and neatly. Then I went to the Piandian for a short breakfast, and then went to the Yeezheng Hall.
Being an emperor is really troublesome! Think about the days in the King’s Mansion, I didn’t care about it until I slept three poles in the day. That's really a way to sleep until you wake up naturally, and count the money to get cramps.
For such a position, the brothers are fighting each other like black eyes. As for?
Fortunately, there will be a small court meeting today, which will be held in the Yeejeongjeong Hall.
This kind of small dynasty meeting is not as seen on TV dramas before. The ministers of the Uzbek pressure a hall are divided into two groups of civil and military standing, and the **** in charge said: "You have something to play, nothing to leave the court!"
The kind of big dynasty meeting where officials and officials gather are only once every ten days, and the daily early dynasties are all small dynasties.
Yawning all the way, Qin Nuo arrived at the Hall of Discussion.
Fortunately, it’s the Xiaochaohui, so I can sleep a little longer.
The dynasty will be even worse. The Dachao meeting was held in the front hall of the Hall of Prayer for Heaven, which is commonly known as the Hall of Jinluang. Qin Nuo had the honor to experience it three days ago when he held his ascension to the throne to sue the world. You have to get up at five o'clock in the morning, put on the court clothes, and go to the front hall with your full support.
In front are six pairs of ceremonial female officials, holding Babao Lanterns, Jin Ruyi and other objects, and four female officials behind them, holding eight-foot-long golden feather umbrellas, canopies and other props that demonstrate the emperor’s majesty. Behind is a long team of eunuchs, each holding evil spirits whisks and other things, and on either side are two hundred elite guards escorting them.
A group of people came across the magnificent Golden Temple.
When we arrived at the Jinluan Temple, hundreds of civil and military officials had gathered in the hall. In fact, although the main hall is vast, it cannot accommodate so many people, so at least half of the officials need to stand outside the door.
For the publicity of the court meeting, all doors and windows in the hall were opened during the court meeting, so that the emperor could see all the courtiers, and the courtiers could pass the emperor.
It's summer, and it's very comfortable to see the wind in all directions early in the morning. If it's winter... Qin Nuo imagined it and couldn't help lighting himself a candle.
There are too many people in this kind of court meeting, but the efficiency is extremely low.
Most of the discussions at the Dachao meeting were matters such as ceremonial celebrations. Like the last great dynasty meeting, Qin Nuo's reign was determined.
The memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites listed more than a dozen alternative reign titles such as Yongshou, Yanxi, and Taikang.
Qin Nuo briefly read it, and finally chose God. He is not obsessed with the year name, anyway, it is an auspicious word in style. This is how the New Year’s number is set, but it won’t be used until next year.
After experiencing a great dynasty meeting, Qin Nuo felt like he was about to collapse, knowing that the great dynasty meeting would only be resurrected on the spot once every ten days, and the blood was not filled up.
It would be nice if it could be changed to once a month, or maybe once every six months.
Hehe, this kind of extravagant hope can only be thought of. Speaking of which, you may not believe it. When you become an emperor, you are even more unfree to act. Qin Nuo was also helpless.
Fortunately, it is still a small dynasty meeting today, which is held in the apse of the Hall of Prayer, commonly known as the Hall of Yeezheng.
The court officials have arrived, two prime ministers, six books, and several important generals. Then there is that they sometimes carry a deputy, and the other is the courtiers related to things that need to be discussed early today. Generally no more than thirty people.
A small meeting of this size can handle affairs faster and concentrate opinions.
Qin Nuo ascended to the throne, and everyone bowed and saluted.
After the ceremony is over, start a day of political discussion.
A few things today, one is about flood control during the flood season. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ji Kangle mentioned the recent heavy rains in the lower reaches of the Sishui River, which caused the water level to skyrocket. Shangshu Ma Xingbang broke off for a while. Immediately there was a drought in a certain place. The two towns were fighting for water sources, resulting in feuds and fights, which caused nearly 100 lives to be injured. The local officials are duty-bound, and the officials need to impeach them...
After listening to several issues, Qin Nuo realized that he basically didn't need to do anything by himself. In fact, most of the government affairs can be handled by the court on its own.
Generally, the six books of internal affairs can be handled, and the two sides arbitrarily dispatch the prime minister to mediate, and the courtiers can't solve it. Then ask the emperor to make a ruling.
Of course, everyone will also play on the issues on which consensus is reached. Usually Qin Nuo nodded, "Just according to Qing's opinion." Then the matter was revealed.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. Qin Nuo cheered up at first, but after hearing it, it was dull, and he felt like taking courses in mathematics, physics and chemistry in the previous life. As a student in the previous life, there are obstacles like final exams and mid-term exams. If you don't want to listen, you have to force yourself to raise your spirits. But in the current court meeting, who can test an emperor?
I finally understand why his old father Jing Yao often stopped the court for several days without any courtiers to advise him. However, the emperor's brother Qin Cong ignored political affairs for half a year and did not affect the operation of the court. A mature dynasty will form a set of fixed operating mechanisms. As long as there is no major failure, this mechanism can run smoothly.
Finally, at the end of the dynasty meeting, after Qin Nuo left the dynasty, there was another routine official business. Please Announce to the Queen Mother.
Da Zhou demonstrates filial piety. As an emperor, you should set an example. It is indispensable to save in the morning and evening.
If you are your own child, you may be able to omit some of it. As a concubine, you can only respect your auntie.
Fortunately, according to the rules, only one trip to Ci Ning Palace every day after the morning is enough. The Queen Mother Huo obviously didn't have much interest in this kind of motherly kindness and filial piety.
Ping An started during the fasting period, but I only saw Queen Mother Huo only once or twice. Most of the time, after sitting for half a cup of tea in the main hall of Ci Ning Palace, a female officer would come out and reply respectfully. Dao: The queen mother is still resting, and I deeply feel the emperor's filial piety and busy government affairs, so she won't waste precious time.
It's the same today. After a while, Qin Nuo got up and left.
Back to the back hall of Qianyuan Palace, I saw a large stack of memorials waiting for him on the table.
In fact, only a few issues were brought to the DPRK meeting to discuss politics. They were all important or needed to be discussed by multiple departments, and they were unresolved. Most of the remaining topics are on the memorial.
Qin Nuo came to the table with a bitter expression and roughly counted the memorials.
He picked up the top one and opened it, and immediately felt dizzy and dizzy, as if he had received the blood reduction buff. The memorial text is very neat, and the block letters are short, but the grammar of the four-six-six is really overwhelming for him.
Didn’t you make up your mind to be a good emperor last night? You can't slap your face early the next morning! ! !
Trying to mobilize his few sense of responsibility, Qin Nuo forced himself to calm down, sit at the table and start to open up.
Finally, I read this memorial to Kaka.
Qin Nuo closed the memorial, and instantly felt an urge to run away.
The whole article said one thing, a spring in their jurisdiction that had been dry for a long time suddenly bubbling out. This must mean that the emperor succeeded to the throne and inherited the fate! It is God’s will and God’s blessing, so I congratulate Yunyun on the table!
Cheating! Throwing Yuxi, you and he just messed up this little thing, and even wrote a full thirty pages.
Being boring is not boring!
Look at the western species next to him, kao! It actually took a full half an hour. If you look at it with this efficiency, you won't be able to finish it when it's dark and dawn! Qin Nuo stared at the pile of memorials and his scalp was numb.
It’s no wonder that in the past, looking at historical records, ancient Mingjun, like Yongzheng, who was more diligent, often criticized them until midnight or even early in the morning, and each of them became highly myopic when they were in their 30s and 40s.
Next to Li Wan and a few eunuchs in charge of serving, peeked at the emperor when he was watching the memorial, his expression became more dignified, and after reading it, he became even more displeased, frowning and almost trapping mosquitoes.
It must be an extremely important matter! Could it be that a certain place was hit by a catastrophe? Or is there a rebellion in the place?
Several people became more cautious and dared not make a sound.
Since there was a long silence, Qin Nuo stood up, "I should be a faint lord!"
