Chapter 92: New Dynasty and New Atmosphere(2/2)
Depending on the situation, it would definitely be impossible not to satisfy the curiosity of these people, so Sheng Changbai picked out a few and said some of what he could say to these people.
"Thanks to you, my father, mother, brothers and sisters are fine."
Even though Sheng Changbai had tried his best to describe it in an understatement, Hai Chaoyun was still frightened when he heard that the Hai family had been brought into the imperial city.
"Changbai, since Gu Tingye has returned to Bianliang, he still needs to send someone over to inform Sister Rong." The old lady said.
"Gu Tingye led the troops to arrest the rebels. After he is done, he should come to see Sister Rong." Sheng Changbai replied.
"Changbai, you followed King Huan's soldiers and horses into the imperial city to rescue them this time. Do you think you have made a great contribution?"
Wang Ruofu's focus was different from that of Hai Chaoyun and the old lady. There was no one who needed attention. The first thing Wang Ruofu noticed was Sheng Changbai's meritorious service.
It cannot be said that there is no one who Wang Ruofu pays attention to. The person Wang Ruofu pays most attention to is Sheng Changbai.
"It's not a great achievement, but the late emperor still suffered a disaster. I just tried my best."
Sheng Changbai responded that it was not appropriate for Wang Ruofu to show off when the credit was not yet determined.
The next twenty-seven days belong to the new emperor's filial piety period. Ordinary people observe filial piety to their father for twenty-seven months.
During the three autumns, which is commonly known as the three years of observing filial piety, the emperor observed filial piety with the sun and the moon, which is twenty-seven days.
After the filial piety period, it is the new emperor's coronation ceremony.
Although this matter belongs to Sheng Changbai's internal affairs, this time the late emperor Bintian and the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
Things for the etiquette officials were much easier than last time.
In the past, it was because no emperor had died in the Zhou Dynasty for decades, there were no veterans familiar with rituals in the court, and the Zhou Dynasty did not form customary etiquette.
A large number of ancient books need to be consulted, so Li Guan and Sheng Changbai are very busy.
Now, in handling the matters between Zhao Zongquan and the new emperor, the etiquette officer has both experience and rules to follow. It can be said that it is easy.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, as usual, he extended a general amnesty to the whole country, granted additional envoys, granted military titles, and rewarded all ministers.
These were the practices of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he could not be any different from Zhao Zongquan.
"The enthronement ceremony is finally over. Changbai, you can take a break and think about your future." Sheng Hong said to Sheng Changbai.
After finishing the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, Sheng Changbai's reward was about to come, and it was time to consider how to pursue an official career.
"My mind has not changed. I still want to take up a post in Bianzhou."
Although the emperor changed, Sheng Changbai still did not want to change his plan.
If he wanted to carry out the Northern Expedition, Sheng Changbai would personally serve in Bianzhou. It was necessary to have a personal understanding of Xixia and Liao.
"Changbai, the new emperor is different from the previous emperor. The new emperor is not prepared to fight for the title of King Xian Shu, and he is quite filial to the Empress Dowager. Without the etiquette dispute, you, the censor, do not need to hide from the capital. Why?
You still insist on going to Bianzhou. Even if you want to serve abroad, where is not better than Bianzhou?" Sheng Hong advised Sheng Changbai.
Although the new emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, there are still some new things.
The entire court is much more harmonious. Compared with the previous internal friction in the court, it is now much more efficient.
Xin Di and Zhao Zongquan have completely different styles of doing things. Xin Di is much more pragmatic than Zhao Zongquan and doesn't mind at all those false reputations.
The first is the new emperor, who doesn't care whether King Xianshu respects him as emperor or not, or whether he can call King Xianshu the emperor's grandfather.
It stopped immediately. The previous discussion on the title of King Xianshu also eliminated Han Zhang's position as the envoy to the mountain tomb of King Xianshu.
Everything about King Xianshu has been restored to its original state. He no longer has any honorific title, and the tomb of King Xianshu is no longer built according to any imperial standards.
Another is that the new emperor respected the empress dowager and lived in harmony with each other, without further fighting.
Of course, Zhao Zongquan laid the foundation for the new emperor to live peacefully with the Empress Dowager.
Because Zhao Zongquan used his body as bait to lure the snake out of its hole, the Empress Dowager was still exposed in the rebellion case.
Since he participated in the rebellion and was caught with evidence, even if the new emperor spared the life of the Empress Dowager.
But it is impossible for the old widow to control any rights.
Not to mention listening to politics behind the curtain and competing with the emperor as before.
Zhao Zongquan's contribution was not small, but the new emperor's role was equally great. It was the new emperor who took the initiative to treat the old widow well, caring for and respecting the old widow as his own grandmother.
Only then did the party that was originally close to the Queen Mother return to the new emperor.
