In the last few days of September, Liu Che officially issued an edict saying: The queen's honor, rest with me, worship heaven and earth, arrive at the temple, and honor the world. Therefore, there is Xin Xingyin, Jiang Ren's mother Zhou, the second generation of Long, and Ned. Since I ascended the throne, the Changqiu Palace has been vacant, and the middle palace has been vacant. Fortunately, there is the Yi of the Tang Yi waiting for the noon girl Bing Shuyuan, the ritual of the mountains and rivers, the majesty of Zhaoyao, the crown of the palace, the group of Liao, the collection of Yizai, Bu in the turtle, the hexagram has to be carried out. Its Chen daughter is the queen!

Officially canonized Chen Ajiao as the queen, married into the palace, and entered the Shufang Palace.

The entire post-establishment process was completed in only half a day.

In the past, Liu Che's emperor father was more quickly established - the front foot ascended the throne, and the back foot established the Bo family as the queen.

Emperor Hui married Empress Xuanping, and the same was true.

Speaking of which, since the Han Dynasty, it was still after Liu Cheli was established, and the time and procedures spent were more and more complicated.

After marrying Chen Ajiao, Liu Che raised this little wife in the Shufang Palace, although he often went to see it, but he did not spend the night in the Shufang Palace.

Chen Ajiao is still too young!

The mistake is that he is about to face the annual grand ceremony, and he has to complete the first worship of the ancestral temple of heaven and earth after ascending the throne, Liu Che really wants to delay it for a few more years.

But there is no way, many things are sometimes forced to be done, and they have to do it!

Donggong also seems to understand that Chen Ajiao is still too young, so she didn't give Liu Che anything in this matter? pressure, even the pavilion Tao has no opinion.

This made Liu Che breathe a sigh of relief.

What he is most afraid of is that the East Palace and Pavilion Tao will force him to have sex with Chen Ajiao.

That situation is really terrible.

After the standing, it followed. It was the first great court ceremony after Liu Che ascended the throne.

The first day of the second year of Yuande.

Just three watches, under the north of Weiyang Palace. It's already crowded and busy.

All the bureaucrats of the Jiuqing Yamen with more than 600 stone lined up in several neat queues. Under the leadership of the chiefs of the various yamen, they gathered together quietly.

These people alone are in the hundreds.

But these bureaucrats who could make their heads tremble by stomping their feet in the past are as small and ordinary as a drop of water falling into the sea.

Hundreds of huge fire plates in front of Weiyang Palace, after a while, were already burning, above the palace wall. Thousands of torches have been burning all night.

The bright firelight illuminates the entire Weiyang Palace like daylight.

Magnificent and extravagant carriages from all directions of Chang'an, surrounded by the guards and servants, drove to Beique.

Flag after flag fluttered high on the roof of the carriage.

A prince of thousands or even thousands of households, Shi Shiran walked down from the carriage.

Today. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, all the princes and nobles and old ministers have still existed, regardless of where their feudal kingdoms were. No matter where they are, they have all come to Chang'an and will make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven today.

Someone is bored. Secretly counting the cars of those noble people in the past.

And then he found out about this fact.

The longer the princes have been enclosed, the more they seem to be together.

Like a hero of Gaozu. Arrived almost at the same time.

As the vanguard, the Hou family of Pingyang was the first to arrive. Then there was the Prime Minister Changping Hou Zhou Yafu, the second was the late Prime Minister Hou Shen Tujia, and then there were dozens of marquis such as Ruyin, Guangyan, Guangping, Qingyang, Beiping, Quzhou, etc., who were almost present at the same time.

This fully shows that the heroes of Gaozu have been united today.

At least, on the surface.

Most of the princes and ministers after Taizong are relatives or returnees, and there are very few who really rely on military merits for the princes.

And these people are almost all in twos and threes, arriving intermittently one after another, and the descendants of Gaozu heroes are tightly together, and there is a world of difference.

If someone thinks about it, they are quickly relieved.

To this day, except for Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, and Shen Tujia, the late Anhou, who are still panting, the rest have already passed on to the second and even the third and fourth generations.

These nobles were born in rich families and grew up in the hands of women, except for a few people who chatted with a few people, the rest really did not know joy, let alone sorrow.

Except for cockfighting, lackeys and women, there is no other specialty.

If they don't tightly hug the thighs of the prime minister and the former prime minister trusted by the deep Son of Heaven, they will lose their feudal kingdom and title sooner or later!

This is not unfounded!

Gaozu has more than 100 meritorious heroes, and now less than half of those who still maintain their feudal titles and titles are left!

The rest were like big waves sweeping sand, and they were deposed as commoners by the emperors, prime ministers and court captains of the past dynasties, and even some of them were involved in various rebellions without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and even the incense was cut off.

In addition to the meritorious societies such as Liuhou and Qu Wei, who can be remembered by the sons of heaven in the past dynasties, the rest, once they lose their titles, they will immediately become passers-by.

Most of the heroes after Taizong are the first generation and the second generation, as long as they don't die, they won't be in any danger.

Moreover, most of these people have their own political futures, so naturally they will not be grouped, so as not to be alienated by the Son of Heaven.

After the princes arrived, the originally empty Beique Palace Gate was immediately congested.

Since the Han Xing, there have been three generations of emperors, and there are nearly three or four hundred princes before and after, except for about one-third of whom have been eliminated, there are at least two or three hundred marquis in power.

These princes, each of them has retainers, servants, guards, and cronies, no matter how shabby a liege is, there will be more than ten or twenty people around him to fill the scene.

The wealthy and noble are like a big family and a big business of Pingyang Hou Cao's family, just accompanied by this generation of Pingyang Hou Cao Shou to the palace in front of the carriage has reached more than 10 cars, accompanied by hundreds of guards, retainers, diners, servants.

It fully shows people what it means to be a big dog!

And the sons and heirs of the princes and kings were not willing to be left behind, and the carriages were extremely gorgeous and extravagant, decorated with rare and exotic objects from Shu County to Qilu, from China to foreign countries.

The last to arrive downstairs in Beique City was a relative.

Zhang Wu waited for Dou Guangguo, Fang Hou Bo Rongnu, and the two brothers of the Queen Mother of the East Palace arrived one after another.

Looking at the extravagant carriages and horses in front of the palace, Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo frowned. said lightly: "These princes are becoming more and more disagreeable. I have to go and talk to the Son of Heaven about this, and I want to kill the extravagance of these princes! ”

Wei Qihou, the general who arrived with Dou Guangguo in the same car, Dou Ying could only laugh on the side.

No way. This uncle's temper has always been like this!

However, the indulgence of the princely class in the luxurious life of drunkenness is an irreversible process.

It is simply impossible for the princes, who were born with a golden key in their mouths, to understand what frugality is!

Besides, it doesn't seem like I'm going to have that plan!

Judging from Dou Ying's observation, it seems that today's son deliberately indulged the extravagant comparison of the princes.

Some time ago, Dou Ying even heard that the Son of Heaven had been extravagant and wasteful about going to report to the princes. Zhao Yu, who is becoming more and more unrestrained, said: If the law is not prohibited, it will not be corrected, and if the law is not violated, the court captain should not interfere!

Dou Ying was thinking about this, and the road downstairs in Beique City suddenly automatically parted to both sides.

Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, carrying heavy loads, slowly approached.

"It's the planners who are here!" Dou Ying glanced at it and knew what the situation was.

At the beginning of each year, all the counties and countries in the world must go to the capital.

More than one county is more than ten counties. There are as few as seven or eight counties, and each county has as many as 30,000 or 40,000 households, and as few as a few thousand.

In that year, Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, formulated the system of accounting, and the details of the accounts and taxes of the accounting. It is necessary to be specific to households, acres, and people.

In other words. The magistrate must keep every acre of land in every household in the locality and every person in the first place to serve. The tax payment situation is recorded in detail in the bamboo slips. Then go to Chang'an.

Therefore, at the end of each year, there will be a spectacle in the Han family.

Countless carriages set off from all over the world.

The long convoys sometimes even stretched for miles, in order to ensure that the work was completed smoothly and safely.

Local counties would even levy hundreds of people, send hundreds of county soldiers and dozens of officials to lead.

Throughout October and November, the Prime Minister, the Shaofu and the Imperial Historian Yamen, and thousands of officials will devote themselves to the examination and inspection of the account books of the counties and counties in the world. to ensure that no one deceives the king.

This is the first year of the new monarch's reign, and it is even more important.

Countless bureaucrats wanted to make a good impression on the new monarch.

What kind of impression will the Son of Heaven remember the most?

Political achievements, of course? Dominate the ministers and monopolize the leader's political achievements!

Therefore, this year's work is even more important to the world, as Dou Ying knows, in August, there were already county officials sent relatives and henchmen to Chang'an to lobby.

The threshold of the princess's house was about to be broken by the 'messengers' who carried all kinds of treasures.

And the hundreds of carriages full of books in front of me are just the beginning.

In the next few days, carriages of this scale will continue to come to Weiyang Palace.

Eventually, the words recorded in the account books in these carriages will be changed to the color of the official uniform worn by the local officials, and the size of his official seal will be determined.

Some unlucky people who are too unlucky and have no activity, or are not active enough, can even get into big trouble because of this, and will be found out as a model.

Well, it's the chicken that killed the monkey to see!

These carriages slowly drove to the bottom of the Beique City Tower, and an official who could not see the grade clearly rode out of the carriage group and said to the guards on the city tower: "The officials of Qinghe County are ordered by the county guard Li Gong to transport the counties, townships, pavilions, and lis of Qinghe County to the emperor!" ”

Qinghe County, that's the Dou family's lair!

Li Wen, the current county warden of Qinghe County, is also the protégé of his uncle.

Dou Ying subconsciously looked at his uncle and found that Dou Guangguo did not have any appearance.

Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages full of bamboo ledgers, official documents, and grain ration details were nothing more than the tax and servitude of a county at the age of one year.

This made Dou Ying couldn't help but be taken aback, and couldn't help but think in his heart: There are so many plans in Qinghe County, no wonder the Marquis of Beiping wanted to formulate a three-year-old plan and a one-year-old system, if it is like this every year, it is necessary to report the detailed income and expenditure to the imperial court, I am afraid that local officials and court officials will be tired to death!

After a while, a general on the castle tower poked his head out and asked in a loud voice, "Please present the Seal Sign!" ”

At the same time, a bamboo basket hanging from a rope descended from the castle tower.

The official took out the official seal letter and official document from his bosom and put them in a bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket was pulled up the tower. There was a small sound from the castle tower, which seemed to be checking official documents and sealed letters.

Not much. The north tower was slowly opened, revealing the palace that had been illuminated by the raging fire.

The convoy was being searched by palace guards. After confirming that he did not have any weapons and dangerous goods in his possession, he was released, and hundreds of low-level officials in the palace were already waiting for review.

Dou Ying glanced at his uncle and found that after the carriage entered the palace, Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo showed a rare smile.

This makes Dou Ying convinced that this year, Qinghe County can be ahead of the counties in the world. The first to enter the palace, I am afraid that my uncle has made a lot of effort behind his back.

You must know that Qinghe County is the nest and base camp of the Dou family.

Since the Dou family's luck, successive county guards have been inextricably linked with the Dou family.

It's just that for a long time, the magistrates who are too close to their relatives often have a bad career.

The emperor of the Han family will not condone the power of his relatives is too large. Therefore, in previous years, the Dou family did not put too much thought into the plan.

It seems that after the new monarch ascended the throne. The shackles around Dou's neck seem to have loosened a little?

Dou Ying thought to herself.

However, he was still faintly uneasy.

The Son of Heaven of the Liu family has been in the past generations. What I do best is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Gaozu Liu Bang pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and the whale swallowed the whole world.

Taizong Liu Heng pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. Let all the veterans and ministers hit the street, and Zhou Bo almost died in the Tingwei prison.

The first emperor was not bad. Before ascending the throne, he was beaten by Zhang Shizhi, Zhao Juan and others, and he looked convinced, and immediately settled the general ledger after taking the throne......

When today's son, young is young.

However, judging from his various expressions and political measures before and after his accession to the throne, this is not a good stubble!

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the heir of the next generation designated by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the bloodline of the Liu family!" This sentence was heard by Dou Ying from a certain former nobleman who was treated as a dying immortal.

The subtext of this statement is naturally obvious.

Think about how Gaozu and Taizong played, and what will happen today, you can naturally imagine it!

"I'm afraid it's a pit!" Dou Ying was worried in her heart.

But alas, he couldn't say it.

Once it is said, it will become a direct tear between the Son of Heaven and the Dou family.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much......" Dou Ying comforted herself in her heart: "The old queen mother of the East Palace is still here, even if it is as I expected, Your Majesty will probably use my family to establish authority at most, but it will only lose some face......"

Thinking about it like this, Dou Ying felt calm in his heart.

What are you afraid of losing face?

It's not that the Dou family hasn't lost it!

As long as the East Palace is still there.

After losing face, the Son of Heaven will inevitably compensate Dou in other aspects.

When Taizong was in the past, the Dou family was buried in a big pit dug by Taizong, and they lost face, but the final compensation not only allowed the Dou family to make up for all the losses, but also reaped benefits several times the losses!

It is no exaggeration to say that the Dou family can have today, back then, the forbearance of the uncle in front of him and the deceased uncle was very important!

After all the carriages of Qinghe County entered the palace, the eastern sky faintly revealed some white belly.

"It's clear!" Dou Ying straightened his clothes and made final preparations for the Great Chaoyi.

The Han family system, the great court ceremony, the Pingming (about 5 o'clock in the morning) to administer the ceremony, led to the second entrance to the palace gate.

Civil and military officials, noble ministers, will begin to enter the palace according to their ranks.

In the palace, there will be Chen trains, foot guards, and guards. From the palace gate to the Xuanmu Palace, countless military flags will be set up along the way to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

When they arrive in front of the Xuanshu Palace, they will be divided into different sequences according to the civil and military affairs, and they will enter the palace under the guidance of the ceremonial officials.

The whole process will last an hour or more, and the next pilgrimage will last all day, except for the evening feast, the participating officials have little time to rest, which is a huge test of the bladder and stomach and the state of health.

Before coming, Dou Ying had already eaten and drunk enough and finished excreting, ready for today's day's battle.

However, noble relatives like his uncle Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo do not need to be like this.

When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will find a time and an excuse to call Zhang Wuhou to the East Palace.

In addition, other old ministers, such as the late Prime Minister Anhou Shen Tujia, Uncle Nei Shi Tian, and the late Taizhong Doctor Shi Fen, all have this treatment.

This can also be regarded as a place where the Han regime is humanized, and the old ministers who are old and have worked hard will be given care and preferential treatment in these aspects.

Dou Ying was thinking like this, and the gates of the Beique Palace suddenly opened, and one by one the confessors in silk clothes had lined up and walked out of the palace gate.

The great ceremony of the second year of Yuande finally began. (To be continued......) R1292
