In this weird world, I use my body to control all things
Chapter 127: Great Court Meeting, Reward
"You go slower on the road. I'll wait for you at home." Zhao Yu tidied Chen Mo's clothes one last time and sorted out the wrinkles on them.
"Okay." Chen Mo agreed with a smile and walked out of the courtyard.
Arriving all the way to the gate of the mansion, Chen Mo didn't wait long before he saw Mo Hu hurriedly running towards him.
"I'm telling you, Fifth Brother, it's not appropriate for you to have your clothes sorted by someone else, and then just go to the court meeting like this."
When Chen Mo saw his appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Mo Hu's clothes were relatively clean. After all, they were washed by a dedicated maid. However, he wore them in a hurry and folded them casually, so there were many wrinkles.
"Stop talking, I shouldn't have drank so much last night. I still feel uncomfortable. If someone hadn't shouted, I might not have been able to wake up."
Mo Hu sighed softly, his eyes a little confused.
With his strength, it is impossible to recover so quickly after drinking too much, so he is still a little sober until now.
Fortunately, it will not affect the going to court, and all officials, both civil and military, will be there anyway.
Your Majesty will not read everyone. At most, he will only pay attention to the key figures. He can just hide in the back.
In addition, it would still take an hour or two before he officially entered the palace, and by then he would have completely sobered up.
After waiting for a while, Sun Shouren came with Xu Dabao and others. They also had official positions.
Regardless of rank, even if you are a ninth-rank official, you have to go to this great court meeting.
Everyone gathered together and, led by Sun Shouren, walked all the way to the inner city.
Due to the imperial meeting, today's curfew has been extended by one hour to allow more officials to travel safely and conveniently.
Chen Mo and others were all military attachés, so their foot power was naturally much faster, and they arrived near the inner city in just over a quarter of an hour.
The gates of the inner city were wide open, and many officials filed in. Most of their ranks were not high, and they were basically below the fourth rank.
The second- and third-rank officials in the inner city, as well as many nobles with titles, slowly walked out of their homes at this time.
"Old Sun!" Lu Chuan came over with a group of officials smiling, his tone and expression quite enthusiastic.
Sun Shouren was also very happy to see him. It seemed that the two were indeed old friends for many years.
"Old Sun! You have such a vicious vision! You can accept such a good adopted son!"
Lu Chuan looked at Chen Mo, his tone of envy could not be concealed.
He was also a military attache of the imperial court, and he had adopted many adopted sons, but all of his adopted sons combined could not compare to Chen Mo alone.
Not to mention he is an acquired martial artist at such a young age, but he has also made great achievements. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become a very popular minister in the future.
The more Lu Chuan looked at it, the more he felt that Chen Mo was pleasing to the eye. The more he looked at his adopted sons, the more he felt that it was not possible.
You say we are all human beings, but why is the gap between people so big?
"Haha, that's not because I have a sharp eye. I can tell at a glance that he is extraordinary!" Sun Shouren put his hands on his hips and smiled happily.
It can be seen that with Chen Mo as his adopted son, he is indeed somewhat proud.
Lu Chuan saw him like this, but he was helpless. Chen Mo was Sun Shouren's adopted son, and he couldn't snatch him away.
"Okay, Old Lu, those adopted sons of yours are not bad either." After Sun Shouren finished laughing, he praised his old friend's adopted sons.
Lu Chuan knew that Sun Shouren was just talking so as not to embarrass his foster sons.
He could only respond with a smile and praise Mo Hu and Xu Dabao. As for Chen Mo, he simply ignored them.
Chen Mo didn't need to waste his time to praise him. Anyone who wasn't blind could see his extraordinary qualities.
The two chatted all the way and slowly walked towards the inner city, with Chen Mo and others following closely behind.
There were also many military attachés under Lu Chuan who greeted Chen Mo with smiles.
Ma Jianxin, whom he met that day, was also among them. He was Lu Chuan's nephew.
Everyone walked together and soon arrived outside the palace city.
At this time, there were thousands of officials, big and small, gathered here. Not only all the officials, big and small, in Beijing, but also important officials from several places in the acropolis also arrived in the capital early to wait for this great meeting.
Many Habayashi guards and palace guards in the palace were also arranged early, and they led these officials one by one into the palace according to their size and rank.
Sun Shouren and Chen Mo did not need to be separated. They were foreign ministers coming to the capital. Before the court arranged specific matters, they should get together.
"clang!"
A bell rang that resounded through the clouds and shook the sky, spreading throughout the palace and beyond.
Upon hearing this, many officials shut up and didn't say another word.
Chen Mo could clearly notice that as the bell rang, the clouds in the sky were dispersed in an instant.
It seems that the sound of the bell guarantees that it will always be sunny when going to court, there will be no continuous rain, and there will be no thunder.
Many officials entered the city one after another, and soon it was Chen Mo's turn.
The main hall of the Chaohui is built majestic and tall, like a towering mountain standing there quietly, and it is very impressive from a distance.
There is a large white marble square in front of the main hall. There are sculptures of different shapes in the square, including dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and many other auspicious animals in different shapes.
Walking at the front were officials wearing black robes. Even the emperor's dragon robe was black.
As an official, only officials of the third rank or above are qualified to wear the black unicorn and auspicious beast robe.
After passing through the courtyard, hundreds of officials arrived in front of the Meridian Gate. There was a court room prepared for the officials to rest, tidy up, and prepare to go to court.
However, this time there were too many people going to court, and most officials were not qualified to rest in the lunch room and had to wait outside.
Time passed minute by minute and soon came to Chen hour.
The bell that had sounded before sounded again, ringing nine times in succession.
A powerful and extremely loud shout shouted, "All officials enter the upper hall!"
The person who made the sound should also have martial arts cultivation. Most of them have perfect cultivation of meridians. They have also practiced special martial arts skills and can use their inner energy to vibrate and amplify their voices.
The palace door of the main palace opened, and all the civil and military officials stepped towards the main palace.
The stone steps of the main hall are not carved from white marble, but are made of a material like black jade, but very strong.
There are 139 stone steps in front of the main palace gate, representing the 139 palaces of Daqian.
Each stone step is engraved with various reliefs, and the mountains, rivers, geography, and cultural scenery of the 139 state capitals are all engraved on them.
Of course, these stone steps are not used for daily walking. Only when the emperor ascends the throne or returns from worshiping heaven, can he be qualified to walk on them.
When civil and military officials go to court, they can only take the normal stone steps on the left and right sides.
Walking all the way into the main hall, a majestic and majestic aura filled the entire hall, making people feel fearful.
The main hall is so big that it's even a little empty. The floor is covered with black ink jade, and it's been scrubbed so clean that people can almost be seen in it.
Dozens of white jade beams that are more than thirty feet high stand high in the sky, with dragons and phoenixes carved on each beam. Below the beams are more than a thousand fully armed Yulin guards, each of them exuding a fierce aura.
Chen Mo could see that everything prepared here was to make the emperor, as the master, feel condescending and look down on him, so that the ministers below him would instinctively feel humbled and want to surrender.
However, these things will only have an impact on Tongmai realm warriors at most, and will not have a great effect on Houtian warriors.
For warriors at this level, their martial arts strength is their greatest confidence.
What's more, if one can practice to the acquired state, his mental toughness is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is difficult to be affected by external objects.
In addition, people who come to attend the court meeting for the first time will inevitably feel nervous and cramped in this scene.
Ru Mo Hu and others were obviously shocked by this scene, and now they are a little nervous and cramped.
Sun Shouren did not react much to this. He had participated in many dynasties and was already familiar with it.
People who see this scene for the first time will be shocked, but the more they see it, the more they get used to it.
The main hall is very large. Thousands of civil and military officials, plus many Yulin guards, gather here without feeling crowded at all.
All the civil and military officials stood in turn. Zhou Wen, the current prime minister, took the lead in bowing down to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne and said, "I pay my respects to your majesty!"
In Daqian, hundreds of officials worshiped the emperor without too many complicated etiquette and words. They only needed to bow and salute.
This is still the etiquette system that Taizu changed at that time, if it follows the rules of Dali in the previous dynasty.
When the emperor is visited by officials of third rank or above, he must return the favor.
At that time, Taizu established the country by force and did not want to rule the world together with the aristocratic family, so he changed this ceremony in order to further strengthen the imperial power.
However, in the end, only this etiquette was changed, and almost everything else remained the same.
"The humble minister pays homage to Your Majesty!" All civil and military officials bowed to pay homage to him along with the Prime Minister.
"Everyone, I love you." Zhao Huaili smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
Naturally, it is impossible to discuss anything at the court meeting, but to announce some things that have already been decided.
The matters that really needed to be discussed had been discussed by the emperor and many important ministers as early as the previous small court meeting.
Chen Mo stood in the hall and listened to all this quietly. What was announced now was nothing more than the execution of some officials and the replacement of some officials.
The officials who were executed had only one reason, and that was colluding with demonic outsiders and intending to rebel.
All the officials who proved to be involved in this matter were at least from the Yi tribe.
There were also some who were not involved in this matter, but they themselves were incompetent or the emperor had doubts about them.
These officials were also replaced one by one. Some were transferred to state capitals outside the capital, some were promoted openly and secretly, and more were dismissed and demoted due to incompetence.
These things were announced one after another, and the emperor's orders were issued one after another.
"Chief of the Salt Transportation Department of Xingyuan Prefecture, Chen Moke is here!" The palace official who was responsible for reading out the emperor's edict shouted loudly.
"The minister is here!" Chen Mo responded in a deep voice and walked out of the queue of officials.
"Come forward and answer." Emperor Anle Zhao Huaili said with a smile. His voice was not loud, but it could be accurately heard by everyone.
For a time, many uninformed officials looked at Chen Mo with curiosity and a little surprise.
Of course they could see that Chen Mo was just a small seventh-rank official, but they really didn't understand how much contribution this man had made, yet His Majesty specifically singled him out during the meeting.
Although there were a few officials who knew about it, no one dared to whisper since it was a meeting of the imperial court at this time.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to be written down by the censor in front of the palace and be accused of misconduct in front of the palace.
Chen Mo looked calm and fearless as he walked to the front of the civil and military officials, level with the second and third grade officials.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" After finishing his steps, he bowed and said.
"I love you." Zhao Huaili raised his hand, and a burst of inner energy lifted Chen Mo up.
It can be seen from this that this emperor should also be a strong man in the acquired realm, and his strength is not bad.
Zhao Huaili was dressed in a black dragon robe and was sitting in the main hall.
There are 16 steps to ascend the dragon chair from the main hall. The scenes of the sixteen states of Daqian are carved here. The emperor sits here, which means he is sitting in control of the country.
The dragon chair and the entire hall seem to be carved out of one piece, and you can vaguely see the majestic aura flowing through it, which is enough to show its extraordinary character.
Zhao Huaili glanced at the palace minister who was waiting beside him, and he immediately picked up the prepared imperial edict and read it out.
"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict says!
Chen Mo, the head of the Salt Transportation Department of Xingyuan Prefecture, was not afraid of danger and saved the life of the eldest prince from the hands of demon thieves.
Now I am conferring a title to a man from Qingmu County, with a salary of 800 stones, a good family background, a hundred blood essence stones, a hundred blood-containing pills, a pair of blood-spirited deer, a pair of horned dragon ginseng, a house in the inner city, and a thousand acres of fertile land. "
The palace minister who read out the imperial edict mentioned many rewards in one breath, from titles to family backgrounds to various cultivation resources, plus a house in the inner city and fertile farmland outside the city.
It can be said that even if Chen Mo does nothing in the future, these things alone will be enough to establish a family business in the capital.
The most important thing for Chen Mo is that with these resources, even if the next transformation cannot be started immediately, it is not far off.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Mo bowed and bowed again, holding the imperial edict in both hands.
