Zhao Zhi was woken up by the shepherd in his sleep.

When he heard that Liu Jian was waiting at the gate of the imperial city to ask to see him, Zhao Zhi was very excited, and laughed and said: "This old thing, I thought that I would never have a chance to see him again in this life." ”

After that, Zhao Zhi said a little strangely: "Xiangguo and the governor can directly enter the imperial city, what is Liu Ji waiting at the gate of the imperial city?" ”

Mu Gong said softly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten, when Liu Ji was in office, he insisted on returning the jade medal given by His Majesty and resigning all honors, he is now only white, without His Majesty's permission, naturally he can't even enter the gate of the imperial city." ”

"I forgot."

Zhao Zhi patted his forehead, smiled, pointed to Wang Anmao below and said, "Liu Xiangguo, old man, carry the sedan chair into the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This is a great honor, Wang Anmao bowed, turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhao Zhi looked at Mu Gong: "Liu Ji has come this time, what do you think is the matter?" ”

Mu Gong said softly: "People are dying and their words are also good, this time I will return to Beijing, or the last words of the Taoist monarch and ministers with Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Zhi chuckled: "It's not that simple. ”

Mu Gong said meaningfully: "Yang Daosi died, he should come and see." ”

Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand and nodded at Mu Gong, smiled, no words, those who know me, Mu Gong!

The sedan chair reached the door of the main hall, Liu Wei signaled to stop, and then walked off the sedan chair, clubbed the cane, and walked towards the main hall.

Liu Wei is over eighty years old, which is the year of the cane dynasty, which means that he is over eighty years old, and he can be allowed to enter the court with a cane.

In fact, when Liu Ji was a servant, Zhao Zhi gave him a very high honor, and he did not tend to enter the court, and he was not famous.

Praise is unknown, the courtiers want to see the emperor, they need to wait outside the palace gate first, and the master of ceremonies reports to the emperor "Xiangguo Liu Ji asks to see!" After the emperor agreed, the master of ceremonies shouted again: "Xuan Liu Ji is here!" But enjoying the privilege of "praise and worship" is different, the emperor does not need to call the minister's name directly, only report the official title, indicating that the emperor has great respect for the minister.

In all dynasties, etiquette is extremely important, and it is very impolite to call people's names directly, generally calling official titles or words, but the emperor can directly call anyone's name.

Entering the dynasty is not trending. When the minister meets the emperor, he can't straighten up and walk swaggeringly, he can only bend down and walk briskly, which is called "tendency". After enjoying the privilege of "entering the court", he can walk normally with his waist straight, but he is not allowed to swagger and have no one in his eyes.

And, of course, the highest level of sword swords.

When the minister entered the palace to meet the emperor, he not only had to walk briskly, but also had to take off his shoes and not be allowed to carry weapons. Take off your shoes to visit, those with higher status wear socks, and those with lower status can only go barefoot.

But with this honor, you can enter the palace at will, and you don't take off your shoes, and you still have a sword hanging from your waist.

This is often a symbol of the minister, since the Anzong Dynasty Zhen and the coup d'état, this honor has been completely abolished, and it is no longer so formal, but this is still a supreme glory, of course, many times, even if the emperor gives you this honor, no one dares to accept it, such as Li Zhong, Zhao Zhi and he are righteous brothers, Li Zhong returned to the capital, took over the post of Zuo Xiang, Zhao Zhi gave him many honors, including entering the court, praising and worshipping the nameless, sword walking on the palace, the position of the left minister, Li Zhong accepted, but the later honors, Li Zhong insisted on not accepting it.

Liu Jian walked into the main hall, Zhao Zhi stood up, looked at it, the two looked at each other, and after a long time, Liu Ji bowed and said: "Your Majesty's look is not as energetic as before." ”

When Zhao Zhi heard this, he laughed and said, "Liu Xiangguo is still as outspoken as before. ”

Seeing Liu Ji again, Zhao Zhi seemed very happy, the release of this mood represents more personal feelings, after all, the two have supported each other for decades, although in the end, Liu Ji chose the family and chose to retreat, but Liu Ji's contribution to the Great Jin Dynasty cannot be erased.

Subsequently, Zhao Zhici sat on Liu Ji, and the two of them said a lot of words, but they were all chatting about some homely things, and in the end, Liu Ji and Zhao Zhi played a game of chess.

Zhao Zhi stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally put down the chess pieces in his hand, and said to Liu Ji: "In the past, you and I played chess, and you and I had mixed victories. ”

Liu Yu said lightly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can a minister pass it?" ”

Zhao Zhi smiled and suddenly said, "Liu Guanghui has had a lot of good governance in the past two years, and I am quite pleased. ”

Liu Wei said softly: "Your Majesty, political matters are unpredictable, vary from time to time, and change from time to time. ”

Zhao Zhi's eyes flashed: "What does Liu Xiangguo mean by this?" ”

Liu Wei looked up at the sky, with a look of memory on his face: "I remember that in the third year of Mingde, the old minister defeated the Momenghu tribe, and the first emperor gave the minister the position of the prime minister and sat in the place. ”

Zhao Zhi's body trembled for a while, and he fell into contemplation, and after a long time, there was a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to sweep the chessboard into the air, and said lightly: "You and I are in the next game, I am a little unconvinced!" ”

Liu Wei said lightly: "Your Majesty is interested, how dare the old minister disobey?" ”

Zhao Zhi raised his head and laughed: "You and I have been a monarch for decades, so don't say these lies." ”

Mu Gong looked at the two of them, and there was deep thought in his eyes, and Wang Anmao below didn't understand the meaning of the two of them at all. The two of them just chatted about some family things and didn't talk about anything political, but.... There are some words that not everyone can understand.
