Chapter 738: Datang's Confidence
"A glass of red wine, a mouthful of intestines, what else do you want to do with me... Today, I, Tang Jian, will accompany His Highness King Qi to fight the big tigers...!" Tang Jian took the sausage together and ate it, and then drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Your Majesty is not bad to me. Changsun Wuji is too bullying. He wants to cover the sky with one hand, and he also needs to look at my three-foot iron whip!" Yuchi Gong finished drinking the wine in the glass.
"Old Cheng followed His Highness King Qi's leader." Cheng Zhijie also drank all the red wine in his cup.
"You drink this cup on behalf of Your Majesty..." Li You also drank the red wine in his glass.
At this moment, the bell and drums rang, followed by nine whip sounds. When the whip sounds ended, the palace gate opened and everyone went to Daming Palace... Tai Chi Palace is no longer Li Zhi's office.
The Daming Palace has now become Li Zhi's residence.
This Daming Palace was built in the eighth year of Zhenguan. It was originally named "Yong'an Palace", which was intended to seek the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan's eternal peace.
Unfortunately, in May of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang, died in the 70s-year-old bedroom of the Da'an Palace in Chang'an, and the construction of the Da'ming Palace was immediately terminated. The construction time lasted only for more than half a year. According to the Tang Dynasty palace construction, materials were generally prepared first and then construction. The transportation of stone components and wood materials and the firing of bricks and tiles were all time-consuming, and the busy farming season was avoided. Moreover, during the more than ten years of Li Yuan's death, there was no record of using the Da'ming Palace. It can be inferred that this project did not make much achievements. The basic pattern of the Da'ming Palace was not formed during the Zhenguan period.
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he actually lived in the Tai Chi Palace because there was the shadow of Li Shimin there. However, Li Zhi, who had always been weak and sick, suffered from rheumatism. The Tai Chi Palace was low and wet, so Li You privately provided money in the early years of Yonghui and rebuilt the Daming Palace.
This is why Li Zhi is so kind to his fifth brother. Just imagine, in today's world, there are a few people who are so sincere about Li Zhi because they are worried about their own body and can build a palace for themselves at any cost. Apart from his fifth brother, there may be no one else.
The Daming Palace took four years and spent at least three to four million yuan of money. It was finally built, covering an area of about 3.2 square kilometers. The entire palace area can be divided into two parts: the former dynasty and the inner court. The former dynasty is mainly for dynasty meetings, and the inner court is mainly for living and banquets.
The center of the previous dynasty was Hanyuan Hall (outside court), Xuanzheng Hall (middle court), Zichen Hall (inner court), and there were more than 30 different halls, pavilions, and temples in the inner courtyard.
After Li Zhi moved in, he felt that his condition had improved a lot and was really grateful to his fifth brother. Since then, the Daming Palace has become the political center of the seventeen emperors of the Tang Empire.
As the palace gate opened wide, all officials of the Tang Dynasty entered one after another. Li You walked at the forefront of military officers, and Changsun Wuji on the other side was at the forefront of civil servants. You should know that the two were once comrades-in-arms, and they helped Li Zhi to the position of emperor together.
My uncle and You'er were also very intimate, but this is the case in this world. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends. If someone wants to have a slightly tilted heart, then it is obvious that the two will not be in the same intersection.
"Your Majesty is here..." Yang Qu shouted, followed Li Zhi in from behind with righteousness. After seeing Li Zhi, all the officials bowed and Li Zhi gently helped him.
Which dynasty has the most humane and comfortable life? It can be seen from the attitudes of ministers in court and the attitudes of the emperor in private! The best one is the Tang Dynasty. Many people may not know that during the Tang Dynasty, ministers could sit in court, which seemed like a fool to the next few dynasties!
In fact, this is related to the rules of the Tang Dynasty!
We all know that the island country that is most influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty was the island country. Until now, the living habits of the island country also had many similarities with the Tang Dynasty, especially kneeling and waiting for rules. This was also possible when officials of the Tang Dynasty went to court. Although the power in power at that time had a hierarchy concept, they did not emphasize too much. Instead, in order to show their kindness, the ministers would not ask their ministers to kneel down or something. Unless they encountered large-scale activities such as sacrifices, the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not have so many rules at all. Not only did this be the case on the surface, but they would not deliberately flatter them when they met the emperor in private!
Because this will make the emperor feel that this person is quite loyal, not a group of people who flatter themselves!
This is the confidence of the Tang Dynasty. Later, after the foreign tribes gradually occupied us, those foreign tribes were afraid of the Han tribes, so they ordered to kneel down, especially during the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, they even reached the point of kneeling everywhere!
The Qing Dynasty also formulated a complete set of "kneeling ceremony". If you only kneel and bow, you will have one kneel and three kneel and six kneel and nine kneel. When the grass-roots people meet officials, the lower officials meet superior officials, and the emperor meet others, they all kneel down. It can be said that the Chinese kneel was only grand and colorful in the Qing Dynasty.
Why is this happening? It’s very simple. Kneeling is a kind of slavery education! Unlike other dynasties, the Qing Dynasty was a "small clan facing the big clan". If you want to maintain your rule, you must enslave others and make others become very obedient and non-resisting slaves, and you cannot have an independent personality and spirit!
When a person is used to kneeling, he is probably not far from a "slave" and he is used to the identity of a slave! Therefore, why did no one dare to rebel before and after the Qing Dynasty, including Zeng Guofan and others? Because they all became spiritual slaves!
Li Zhi sat directly on his dragon throne, and then let the ministers present sit down. At this time, Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's great. Today, my fifth brother is back. I believe that with the fifth brother's assistant, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be more prosperous."
"Long live Your Majesty..." The ministers cheered.
But after the cheers, a person slowly walked out. This person was the censor of Changsun Wuji. At this time, Li You also knew that the time for the bayonet to be popular was coming.
"Your Majesty, I have a complaint..."
"Oh...it's not the time to submit the report yet. Can you wait a moment?" Li Zhi looked at the censor with a smile.
But after Li Zhi said this, the other party not only did not give in at all, but instead pressed forward: "Your Majesty, my statement is of great importance, so please listen to my statement..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li You stepped forward and shouted: "Bold... are you forcing Your Majesty?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to intimidate like this. If I dare to stand here today, I will not be afraid of your power. I can now explain to Your Majesty and everyone that the content I want to submit is to impeach King Li You of Qi, Li You, the king of Qi, privately release the court from his crimes, and even suspect collusion. So I ask Your Majesty to severely punish the King of Qi...!"
After saying that, the censor bowed deeply!
