The Fake Eunuch of the Empress: Bind the Shadow Corps at the beginning

The Taimiao is a ritual building used by the royal family to worship ancestors. It has always been built only in the capital.

The Taimiao of Dazhou was built in the imperial city, located in the southeast corner.

"Ding dong..."

The official of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the ceremony rang the ceremony bell, making the crisp sound of gold and jade colliding.

The ceremony bell rang twice again, and the official sang loudly:

"It's auspicious time!"

After hearing this sound, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals solemnly held the sacrifices and slowly entered the Taimiao to worship amidst the sound of drums.

But the real protagonist of the enthronement ceremony, Wu Yue led Cheng Qiji and other civil and military officials to stand outside the Taimiao, waiting for the sacrificial ceremony to end.

Not only Taimiao, but also in Chengtian Altar and Houtu Altar, the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth is also carried out at the same time.

These red tapes supported the foundation of the ritual system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

is an unavoidable procedure.

Although it is cumbersome, the emperor can entrust the Ministry of Rites to execute it, which is not so annoying.

The next thing Wu Yue has to do is to lead the ministers to the Taiji Palace to perform the award ceremony after the sacrifice is over.

As for persuasion, it had already been held two days ago.

The ministers played three times, the emperor refused twice, and only "reluctantly" agreed the third time.

This is also a part of the etiquette system that embodies the virtue of "modesty".

In the original ceremony formulated by the Ministry of Rites, the emperor himself went to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and the Taimiao, and accepted the worship of the people along the way, creating a very popular and festive atmosphere, and then invited Wu Santong to perform the abdication ceremony.

However, Wu Yue believed that Dazhou was still in suffering and everything needed to be kept simple, so these two links were cut off, and the sacrifices were performed by officials from the Ministry of Rites, and the abdication was directly cancelled.

Now that she is in the hands of the military and political power, although some people object to such simplicity, the voices of opposition are so slight that they cannot be heard among the voices of approval.

Only Cheng Qiji cryptically stated that the grand ceremony was too simple, which would make it less legitimate to get the throne, but was suppressed by Wu Yue's words.

right?Who else could be more legitimate than Bengong.

After the ancestor worship in the Taimiao Temple was completed, the officials, led by General Cheng Qiji, went to the Taiji Palace to wait for the award ceremony.

Wu Yue went to the hall and sat on the throne dragon chair.

Unlike previous emperors, there were no personal eunuchs beside her, but instead two female officials stood under the imperial platform.

What is even more different is that on the steps on the left side of the imperial platform, there is a female officer standing, it is Shangguan Ling.

It was the first time someone stood in this position in more than [-] years on the big Tuesday.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to stand here? Linger wants to stand below to feel more comfortable..."

Although Shangguan Ling was a foundation cultivator, he was a little nervous at the moment.

As a woman from an official family, she knew very well what this place represented.

In the future, the emperor's close minister of Dazhou will be her secretary, supervisor and young supervisor.

And because the secretary supervisor has no supervisor, the young supervisor is the biggest official.

In this way, the Shangguan family, which has been in decline for many years...

There is a way to be a minister again.

"What's uncomfortable? If it's that person, he dares to sit on this dragon chair."

Wu Yue said casually.

Don't give her a chance to retreat at all.

Shangguan Ling pouted... thinking to himself.

There is no comparison between me and him!

Boom boom boom!
As soon as she finished complaining in her heart, a majestic drum sounded outside the hall.

This is the first drum for the ministers to take their positions.

When the second drum hits, the civil and military officials have to be arranged in order according to their ranks.

When the third drum sounded, the officials entered the hall and stood in their positions before the drum sounded.

"Your Majesty... Where do you think Manager Lin has gone? It's been three days since the matter in the South Courtyard ended, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Before the officials entered the hall, Shangguan Ling couldn't help asking again.

"Maybe you went to mess around again... What? Do you miss him?"

"Bah, bah, why would Ling'er miss him? It's just that Director Lin has contributed a lot to Changle Palace, but he couldn't make it back on such an important day. Do you think His Majesty treats him poorly?"

"Forget it, he doesn't even want to be a cabinet minister, so he probably ran out on purpose at this time."

Wu Yue understood Lin Xi's thoughts, and she said it right.

"When he comes back, I will first punish him for the crime of adultery in the harem."

When the two female officers heard Wu Yue's words, they were standing attentively, but now they all pricked up their ears.

Manager Lin is still promiscuous in the harem?
What did he use for fornication? ? ?

For those who are lonely in the deep boudoir, this kind of gossip is more interesting than anything else.

It's a pity that Shangguan Ling didn't answer Wu Yue's words, which made the two feel itchy like a cat scratching, extremely uncomfortable, but they couldn't show it. In the end, they twitched their cheeks a few times before suppressing their curiosity.

The hall fell into silence again.

Outside the hall, the third drum sounded.

As the drum sounded halfway through, all civil and military officials also came to the gate of the hall.

The line of civil servants was led by King Xin. As the only prince selected for the court meeting, he represented the clan.

It's just that the prince is a first-class official, and he can only be the leader of the civil servants.

The rank of military officers is well deservedly led by Cheng Qiji.

After a while, the officials who entered the hall lined up and took their places.

Music began to be played outside the hall, and inside the hall, the female officer on the left acted as a salute and sang:

"Bow, bye!"

Hearing this, King Xin and Cheng Qiji led all the officials to prostrate themselves to the ground, they raised their hands and shouted "Long live".

After repeating a set of movements four times in a row, Zhao He was officially completed.

After all the officials got up, Wu Yue handed over the sealed imperial edict to Shangguan Ling to read it out.

The rewarded officials stepped forward to thank them one by one.

Among them, Cheng Qiji, the general of Fuguo, was granted the titles of Taiwei, Hushi General, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Yang Guogong.

The Taiwei is the real chief military officer of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This position has been vacant for nearly a hundred years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now someone has finally taken up this position.

Guo Kaifu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, added the title of Zuo Pushe, Duke of Tangshan County, and continued to hold the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Because Lin Ruiyang, the original minister, had already fallen, and Wu Yue didn't intend to confer rewards on him, so Zuo Pushe, the minister, was already the biggest official in the province of Shangshu.

The rest of the officials who had been on the side of Changle Palace from the very beginning also received considerable rewards, and those who joined later were slightly less.

In short, after the whole reward ceremony, except for the third reward order which was confusing, the rest were within most people's expectations.

This reward is:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Order said: Lin Xi, the chief eunuch of Changle Palace, is talented and intelligent, offering treasures to save disasters, has made extraordinary achievements repeatedly, and has worked tirelessly. He is very heartfelt. He is now appointed as the guardian of Fengzhou, and he is also a regular servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He can open the mansion by himself. Director, I will give you a special gift to enter the court, a sword shoe to go to the palace, and a set of Fengjing City House, and a beauty."

All the officials in front could understand that it was an eunuch named Lin Xi from Changle Palace who had made a lot of contributions to His Majesty, so he was named an official.

But what kind of official is Fengzhou Governor?Unheard of!

How could he actually set up a council member on his own?
That is the power that can only be possessed from a specific official position above the second rank.

Apart from Cheng Qiji and Guo Kaifu, only Lin Xi has this power.

The officials who didn't know who Lin Xi was were all planning to get close to him at this moment, but they didn't know that this person was even at the scene until after the awards were read.

How much His Majesty doted on this person, and specially appointed a person who was not present.

In addition, entering the imperial court without going, and walking on the sword in the palace, that is the second greatest honor of being an official, and it represents the emperor's absolute trust in the official.

Precisely because of the previous titles and powers, the rewards later appear to be pitifully small.

How much is a house?
Beauty is just one...

A good beauty, to be rewarded to a eunuch?
What is Your Majesty thinking about?
