Above the main hall, there was a surge of people. Today's early dynasty is an early dynasty. What is the Early Morning Dynasty? As the name suggests, it is a court meeting that expands the scope. In the past, some middle- and low-level officials who were not qualified to participate in the DPRK meeting were also able to participate in the DPRK meeting. Imperial nobles who did not need to participate in the court meeting in the past also participated in the court meeting. In short, compared to the previous pilgrimage with only 100 people, the number of people in the pilgrimage has tripled today.

After Lin Jue entered the main hall, he quickly found many familiar faces. The eldest prince Guo Mian and the second prince Guo Xu are on the list. Liang Wang Guo Bing's father and son are also in the royal family's train. The entire hall was bustling, and there were people standing in the corners.

Of course, in the crowd, Lin Jue received a lot of fierce and fierce eyes. When Lu Zhongtian and Guo Xu saw Lin Jue, the eyes of the two of them almost drilled a hole in Lin Jue's body. Lin Jue smiled in return and never looked at them again.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Lin Jue participated in the Great Zhou Dynasty meeting as an official official. Of course, he had also followed Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru to the palace as officials of the Ordinance Department before, but that was only a subordinate status, and he was a subordinate official who provided data and document queries for Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru at any time. This time it was different, Lin Jue attended the court meeting as a member of the Imperial Order Pacification Envoy and the Privy Councillor Chief. Even if it is not an early morning court, Lin Jue can also attend the court meeting.

Even so, Lin Jue didn't seem to be too excited and proud of such an occasion. I didn't feel particularly nervous and excited. In the past, it should have been a dream to have today's achievements, but now it has long been dull as water. He is no longer a young man who has just arrived in the capital, and he has seen all the big and small people in the capital directly or indirectly. For Lin Jue, for the emperor, for those prestigious ministers, and for the strictness of the Ouchi Palace, Lin Jue has long been not as full of awe and expectation as those who have just come to your land. When you get to know them, know what they do, and lift the veil over them, you will find that the halo on them is also fading. You will no longer be thrilled and awed to see them, and you will no longer think that you have anything to be proud of being in the same court with them.

Lin Jue admits that this is a bit of a villain mentality. As Confucius said, only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not inferior, and those who are far away are resentful. I do have such a mentality. But this is also because these people and these things in the court made Lin Jue very disappointed, so he also lost his sense of awe for them.

But in any case, being on top of such a hall naturally gives birth to different thoughts. Lin Jue's biggest emotion is that the entire Great Zhou world is actually managed and ruled by these people in this hall. It seems a little incredible. The men on the glorious throne held in their hands hundreds of people in this palace. And the hundreds of people in this palace hold the fate of hundreds of millions of people in the world in their hands, and influence their direction. Why? Where is the legitimacy? It's a bit of a confusing question. If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that one of them was thinking about such a question, they would definitely attack him for being different, which was a great rebellion.

……

In the side hall, Guo Chong, who was ruddy and refreshed, was sitting on a chair and drinking tea one by one. Today's sudden announcement of the coming court was precisely what he did on purpose. He did not inform the court of the news in advance, but only asked Qian Delu to pass the decree at the dawn of the morning, announcing the news of the court early this morning.

The purpose of this is simple. During this period of time, he avoided the court, and even the ministers were not seen, and all kinds of rumors and suspicions arose outside. And now, Guo Chong has felt very good for a few days since taking the medicine offered by Lin Jue, and the symptoms such as chest tightness, coughing up blood, and insomnia have all disappeared. Conscious of being light and healthy, it has never been easier. In this case, we can no longer avoid the court, and we must come out to preside over the government. A piece of the DPRK and China can stabilize people's hearts and break rumors. Second, there is no need to hide anymore, because his illness is improving.

Of course, there are other purposes. Guo Chong also wanted to see what kind of discussion the courtiers would make on top of several major matters without preparation. Before that, they were prepared for every pilgrimage. All kinds of quotations and classics, all kinds of verbal swords, are carefully prepared. And he listened to what they were saying, and fell into a difficult situation. But this time, I was going to overwhelm them. Sometimes in such a situation, you can hear the truth and see many things that you don't normally see.

Guo Chong is in a very relaxed mood today, in fact, he has been in a good mood in recent days. Before Lin Jue offered the medicine, Guo Chong's body was weak, and he knew that his time was short, so he was depressed and depressed, where was he still in a good mood. A person who knows that he has a terminal illness must be emotionally depressed. But now it was different, all of a sudden, from the haze to the sunny place, Guo Chong felt like he had been given a chance to be reborn. Some of the original pessimistic and disappointed emotions were swept away, and the whole person became positive, full of hope for the future. Even the idea of becoming a virtuous emperor in his mind was re-germinated.

Sometimes people are like this, they are gloomy and happy, and under different moods, they have different ideas about different problems. When sorrow, everything is ink, and sorrow is full of knots. When you are happy, you have positive thoughts and nothing you can't do. This is a trait peculiar to the emotional animal of man.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go out. The ministers have arrived. Qian Delu walked over and bowed and said.

Guo Chong nodded and smiled: "Okay, then go up." ”

With that, Guo Chong put down the teacup and stood up. As soon as Qian Delu waved his hand, the two chamberlains hurriedly stepped forward and brushed down Guo Chong's clothes with wool brushes along Guo Chong's chest and back. Guo Chong's clothes, which had been wrinkled by sitting down, also became ironed again.

"Let's go!" Chandlu shouted.

The inner attendants and guards lined up one after another, and the two palace maids stood behind Guo Chong with long-handled feathers, and Zhao Yuankang loudly scolded the guards of the forbidden army in front of the palace to maintain the formation and open the way to defend the guards. The curtain was lifted, and everyone gathered around Guo Chong and stepped into the long corridor leading to the main hall.

Guo Chong's mood was inexplicably excited. Although I don't know how many times I have walked this road to the court, this time it seems to be a little different. This time, I felt like I was back on the throne, and I felt an indescribable anticipation and excitement in my heart.

"Your Majesty...... Arrived! Qian Delu's voice was crisp and loud, although he was over half a hundred years old, his voice was still full of energy, and it was still the same as when Guo Chong ascended the throne, passionate and excited.

Guo Chong obviously heard the buzzing sound that was originally coming from the main hall, and immediately stopped. All of a sudden, there was complete silence, only the sound of wind chimes in the corner of the hall faintly came. A smile appeared on Guo Chong's face. He walked through the curtain into the main hall.

Everywhere he looked, the black pressed a piece, and countless eyes turned to him. But soon, those eyes looked away obediently, followed by the sound of a hula of clothes. Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Long live my emperor, long live it!"

Guo Chong walked quickly onto the throne, sat upright, looked at the crowd of people kneeling in front of him, stretched out his hand, and said slowly: "Zhong Aiqing is exempt!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" In the midst of the noise, the ministers got up one after another.

Guo Chong's eyes swept over, and he saw Lu Zhongtian standing at the head of the train in the political hall, thinking thoughtfully. He saw Yang Jun standing at the head of the train on the right, with a serious expression. He saw his two sons standing at the head of the royal train with respectful expressions. He saw Guo Bing's father and son standing with their hands down. Seeing Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru standing with their sleeves folded, their faces were calm. He also saw Lin Jue standing under the pillars in the distance, looking at him with a smile. Sitting on this throne, in fact, the expressions and movements of all the people in His Highness are clear at a glance. If Guo Chong was willing, he could guess everyone's mentality from these expressions with different feelings, and guess their mood at the moment. This may be an interesting thing.

But Guo Chong didn't have such interest, he had already spoken in a deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, recently, I have not been able to come to the court for more than 20 days because I am unwell. I know that all of you Aiqing are very concerned about my health, and they are also worried about state affairs, and they have visited me in many ways. Actually, I was fine, but I suffered from a relatively violent wind and cold, and the Imperial Doctor instructed me to stay in bed and recuperate, not to worry about exertion, so I followed the Imperial Doctor's instructions to recuperate for a period of time. I am now fine, and I am concerned by the people, and I am here to answer them together to give the hope of the people. ”

The ministers shouted one after another: "The emperor's dragon is healthy, which is my great Zhou's luck." I also hope that the emperor will take care of the dragon body and don't work hard. ”

Guo Chong smiled and waved his hand, and continued: "Don't worry, my illness has been cured, and I will naturally pay attention to it in the future." During the period when I avoided the court, the major yamen of the two governments and three divisions operated as usual, and everything in the court was normal, which was what I was most happy about. This shows that Zhong Aiqing is conscientious and slack. Officials at all levels perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities. The court can run so smoothly that it will not miss the major affairs of the court because of my little illness. I feel very relieved in my heart, I have you virtuous ministers in Dazhou, this is the blessing of the world. ”

"This is the duty of the courtiers, and the emperor praises it so much, and the ministers deserve it."

"Ministers eat the king's fortune, and the loyal king's affairs. At all times, the duty of the subordinates to fulfill their duties is done within their duties, and there is no need to praise them. ”

"The emperor's dragon body is the matter that the ministers and the world are concerned about. The emperor is in good health, and all the people and ministers in the world can act with peace of mind. ”

The ministers replied with a rambling voice. Some are sincere, and some are obviously flattering. It was lively for a while. Guo Chong smiled and listened to them quietly, looking extremely peaceful.
