On the fifteenth day of the second year of the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, after the Shangyuan Festival, the imperial court ended the fifteen-day New Year's holiday, and the various yamen began to return to normal one after another, and at the same time, the Weiyang Palace also held the first big court meeting of the New Year, one was to deal with the affairs of the various ministries that had accumulated for more than ten days, and the other was to discuss the budget expenditure of each ministry this year, as well as the income and expenditure of last year.

This kind of meeting will be held once a year at the beginning of the year, which is considered a practice in the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is also a rule that has been set since the time of Emperor Wu.

At the same time, Yuwen Di from the northern Xianbei Yuwen Dynasty was entitled, and his father, the head of the Xianbei Yubu in the north, was canonized as the King of Yan by the imperial court.

After being crowned king by the imperial court, it means that the conflict between the two states will no longer exist, and there will be an additional kingdom called Beiyan in the north of the Great Jin, which will be a vassal state of the Great Jin Dynasty, defending the northern frontier for the Great Jin.

Yuwen Di was grateful, and knelt on the ground for a long time reluctant to get up.

And the new year, the new atmosphere, the beginning of the new year, the son of Yuan Zhao Tianzi officially began to govern, this young son of heaven, began to be a big vassal.

As long as it was in the last incident, most of the officials who stood on the side of the Son of Heaven were rewarded, for example, Jing Zhao Yin Zhou Shunde, who performed very well, was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, replacing the original secretary of the criminal department who was forced to pay tribute.

In addition, there are a large number of officials who have been promoted in this reward, and these people will be grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven and slowly become the team of the Yuan Zhao Dynasty.

At the same time, some people who have risen to the point where they can no longer rise, have also benefited.

Ram Shu was named the young master of the crown prince, and Hou Jingde, the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army, also had no official position, but he was added a martial artist from the second rank of the pillar country, which was also quite glorious.

Li Xin's martial arts is the Shangzhu country of Zheng Erpin.

He Song, the deputy general of the forbidden army in the right battalion, although he was not promoted because of the existence of Li Xin, but he was added to the martial arts of the three products of the army, which can be regarded as a great kindness, although this kind of sealing has no impact on the actual position, but it can show the will of the Son of Heaven to a certain extent.

For example, He Song, the deputy general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, originally only temporarily led the forbidden army in place of Li Xin, but after having this martial honor of the upper protection army, most of the generals in the right battalion of the forbidden army will completely fall to He Song.

This was the beginning of the Son of Heaven's mastery of the two battalions of the forbidden army, and it was also the beginning of his gradual mastery of the government.

After Xiao Zheng recited all the various rewards, he took out the last holy decree, held it in his hand, and sang: "Taifu Li Xin listens to the decree......"

As soon as the great eunuch finished reading this sentence, he looked down at the ministers in the palace, but he didn't see Li Xin's figure, so he glanced back at the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven knew that Li Xin did not come, so he was expressionless and said, "Keep reading." ”

Xiao Zheng nodded, cleared his throat, and recited this holy decree aloud in the Weiyang Palace, and after the Chinese martial arts officials of the hall listened to it, the expressions on their faces were different.

There are surprises, envy, jealousy, and more expressionlessness.

After Xiao Zheng finished reading, he looked back at the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sat on the throne and said lightly: "Taifu is infected with the wind and cold, and he can't go to the court, Xiao Zheng, you will personally go to the palace and send the holy decree and things to the Taifu Mansion." ”

Xiao Zheng bowed his head respectfully, held a wooden box, and left Weiyang Palace under the gaze of hundreds of civil and military officials.

As soon as Xiao Zheng left, Yuan Zhao Tianzi, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed and said: "Okay, Zhuqing, there are still many things to do today, and the expenses for the whole year this year have to negotiate a charter, and the household department must also sort out last year's accounts and write off the accounts here today." ”

He glanced at the civil official on his left, his face calm.

"People from the household department began to report on local taxes and expenditures."

………………

After Xiao Zheng came out of the Yang Palace, a large number of small eunuchs immediately surrounded him, sat on a two-person sedan chair, Xiao Zheng held the box, swayed out of Yong'an Gate, and walked in the direction of Jing'an Hou's Mansion.

Xiao Zheng has a respected status in the inner court, although the internal officials are not involved in foreign affairs, but the existence of the eight eunuchs and plum blossom guards in the inner court makes the actual authority of this great eunuch rank in the top five in the Great Jin court, so no matter where he goes, it can be said that there are no taboos.

Even the subordinates of the Hou Mansion of Jing'an, after seeing him, did not dare to slack off, and directly invited him into the main hall of the Hou Mansion, and then reported to Li Xin.

Li Xin was thinking about things in the study, but when he heard the words, he washed his face, rushed to the main hall, and after handing over the big eunuch in red clothes, he arched his hand with a smile: "The grand duke is not busy in the palace, why did he come to me?" ”

Xiao Zheng got up and returned the salute to Li Xin: "Taifu is polite, today is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the great court meeting of Weiyang Palace, Your Majesty has a big vassal, and there is also a reward for Hou Ye, Hou Ye was not present, Your Majesty specially asked me to send it to Hou Ye." ”

Li Xin glanced at Xiao Zheng in some astonishment, and then bowed and said, "Then the grand duke will wait a while, I will go and gather the people in the mansion to welcome the holy decree." ”

Xiao Zheng's face was calm: "Master Hou can just listen here alone." ”

Li Xin blinked his eyes and asked, "Do you want to kneel?" ”

Xiao Zheng glanced at Li Xin: "There are no outsiders here, it doesn't matter if Master Hou kneels or not." ”

"Then I won't kneel."

The Marquis of Jing'an stood with his hands down and bowed his head slightly: "Minister Li Xin, listen to the holy decree." ”

Xiao Zheng opened the wooden box in his hand at this time, first took out a jade shaft holy decree from it, unfolded it and held it in his hand, with a serious face.

"The edict said."

"Taifu Li Xin, tired of three dynasties, fighting in the south and north, hard work and high achievements, crowned the dynasty."

"I learned from the Taifu Mansion as a young man, and I have benefited a lot for more than ten years."

"Today, I am a young man who is pro-government, and Taifu has made great contributions, and I will give you a golden book and iron coupon to show Taifu's merits."

After that, Xiao Zheng rolled up the holy decree and put it in Li Xin's hand, and then took out an iron plate from the box, divided it into two in front of Li Xin, and put the top piece in Li Xin's hand.

Eunuch Xiao looked at this inconspicuous iron plate, and his eyes were a little envious.

"Taifu, when I opened the country, there were a total of eight generals who helped Taizu to set the country and open up the territory, and after the establishment of the country, Taizu gave eight gold books and iron coupons, and made an alliance with the eight generals to show that they would never lose each other."

"Since Emperor Taizu, the sons of heaven in the Great Jin Dynasty have not given iron coupons, even Ye Shuai back then, and he did not have this grace."

Ho, it turned out to be the legendary gold medal for avoiding death.

Li Xin handed over the holy decree to the subordinates around him, and then carefully looked at the half of the iron plate in his hand, the iron plate was jet black, and on one side, seventeen words were written in cinnabar.

"Make the Yellow River like a belt, and Mount Tai like gravel."

"There is a temple in Jin, and there is no peerless."

This is the original Jin Taizu, the promise of the eight generals under the hand, and it is also an alliance agreed by the two parties, but it is a pity that the Great Jin Dynasty has been passed on for more than 100 years, and the eight generals who founded the country at the beginning are now only one family, and the remaining seven have all disappeared into the dust of history.

The Marquis of Jing'an held this iron plate in his hand, and his face was strange.
