I have a backstage in Datang

But the most important point is that there is another special thing about this hall. Its property right does not belong to the government of Youzhou, nor does it belong to the private property of the Gu family.

It turns out that this hall was built with the money of the Datang Household Department.

As for why the Ministry of Households paid the money, the reason is also very simple. Ever since Gu Tianya took charge of Youzhou, Li Shimin has led his officials to come here almost every year... It’s just a visit, but he doesn’t want to leave when he comes here. Just live for three or four months, and the ministers will naturally have to live for three months.

Looking at the emperors of all dynasties, it is not uncommon for emperors to go on tour, but it is not uncommon for Li Shimin to go on tour once a year and live for several months when he goes on tour.

Now that the emperor has come, the ministers will naturally follow. However, a country cannot live without a king. How can so many government affairs in the entire Tang Dynasty be so delayed?

So someone came up with a solution, they wanted to build a court meeting place in Youzhou City.

As long as this court meeting place is built, everyone will no longer sleep in the open air. Even if His Majesty the Emperor comes here every year, even if he comes to live for five or six months a year, it is not afraid, everyone will have a place to go to court.

After this method was put forward, both the emperor and the ministers praised it, so on a certain day last year, it was already the time of the night, and the old men from the court and household department, led by the miser's eldest grandson Wuji, became aggressive overnight They found Gu Tianya, and put on a vicious posture of 'do you dare to sell us a piece of land for a try'.

While threatening, they did not forget to lure them. The old men from the household department directly paid [-] yuan, and sent people to the door of Gu's house that night. That's what we did.

Are you afraid?

Gu Tianya was really scared.

The most important thing is to covet the [-] yuan... The reason is very simple. At that time, the Gu family was already so poor that it was almost impossible to get rid of it.

So the two parties hit it off and set aside a piece of land behind the backyard of the Youzhou government office. From then on, this piece of land no longer belonged to Youzhou, but belonged to the Tang court.

This land will be used to build a court hall.

At that time, Datang officials showed great initiative.

They are fed up with the days of squatting in the open space, and they must build a decent place as soon as possible. Otherwise, dignified civil servants and military generals, one or two old farmers who look like stalls, have to get up every morning before dawn, pitifully standing Stretching in the open space... How stupid and stupid, how stupid is he?

In this eager mood, the officials of the Ministry of Industry in charge of the construction became punching bags, and all the bigwigs in the entire court stared at them, and even Li Shimin had to ask three times a day.As long as the project is a little slow, there will be a scolding immediately.

It is said that Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was so scolded that he couldn't bear it, and his anger aroused the blood of a man. Once he quarreled with his wife, and he dared to smash things with his hands. His aura was so fierce that his wife, Princess Gaomi, was frightened. Dazed and stupid, it is said that since that time, Duan Shangshu's status in the family has been shaken.

What a surprise.

Chapter 363 [Li Jiancheng, we still expect you to be emperor]

Finally, the time has come.

After all, Youzhou is not Chang'an, and this place is not the court hall. Although it is also the early court, all etiquette is kept simple.

There was neither the sound of the drum nor the shouting to the servants. The ministers lined up in two rows and filed in, looking for their positions according to their respective identities.

At this time in the main hall, Li Shimin was already sitting at the top. Since this is only a simple court hall after all, there will definitely not be any decorations such as dragon chairs. It's just a heavy chair.

Except that Li Shimin was sitting on a chair, there were no other utensils in the hall. Compared with the Taiji Hall in Chang'an, this Chaoyi Hall is really simple and crude.

However, no matter how simple it is, it represents the entire court. This is the power center of the entire Tang Dynasty, and everyone who can enter here is a top boss.

The early dynasties of the Tang Dynasty did not have the stinky problems of the later dynasties, such as three kowtows and nine obeisances, or kneeling to pay respects...

And the ministers don't need to stand when they go to court, but everyone will be equipped with a soft cushion.

In addition, there are other things, for example, the conversation between the monarch and his ministers will not be rigid, and they will not deliberately put on a serious posture when discussing affairs, but will be as casual as a "familiarity", and any matter related to the court can be discussed .

The court rules in this era are still very simple.

Although the rules are relatively simple, there must be proper etiquette. For example, after the ministers enter the hall, they must at least salute the emperor first.

This is not only a kind of respect for the emperor, but also the respect of the ministers for themselves...

[It is difficult for future generations to understand why saluting to the emperor is a respect for oneself.But in the eyes of the ancients, yi means self-cultivation, so if there is any disrespect in behavior, it is disrespect imposed on oneself. 】

However, the etiquette of the ministers saluting the emperor is not particularly solemn. For example, the civil servants just crossed their hands together, and then slightly arched towards Li Shimin. This etiquette is called the cross-hand salute. common courtesy.

As for the salutes of the generals, they were even simpler. They just clasped their fists together and raised their hands towards the emperor.

……

After saluting, you can sit down.

According to their identities and ranks, the ministers find a cushion to sit on and count as court.The position of the king and important ministers is relatively high, some even sit a few steps away from Li Shimin, so after a court meeting, they will definitely be exhausted, because they can't be lazy, and they must always put on a posture of deliberation.

But for some low-level ministers, they can still fool around when they are in court. For example, some people sit in a secluded corner and can hide behind a pillar and sleep secretly.

Regarding this situation, both the emperor and the important ministers are well aware of it, but no one will deliberately mention it, as if this is the unspoken rule of the early Tang Dynasty...

What unspoken rules?

The important ministers are tired, but the junior ministers are relaxed!

The reason is also very simple. People in this era are pragmatic. Since important ministers and junior ministers enjoy different powers and treatment, naturally what needs to be paid and borne will also be different.

Important ministers hold great power, so you have to be tired when you go to court, and the power of small ministers is not high, so it doesn't matter if you are lazy when you go to court.

……

According to the past practice, after the ministers greeted the emperor, it was time to start the early court.

But today is obviously different, the ministers did not find cushions to sit down immediately.Instead, they all looked at the left side of the hall, at Li Jiancheng who was already sitting there.

In ancient times, the left side was respected, and Li Jiancheng sat first on the left. This is almost a self-evident attitude, which means that Li Jiancheng will be the head of the officials today.

However, everyone knows that Li Jiancheng should not be like this. The great change of Xuanwumen three years ago was certainly due to the strategy of the Li family. Although it was just a strategy, Li Jiancheng was "dead" after all. The attitude of pretending is still to be pretended.

If you don't pretend, it's a vicious slap in the face.Who's the face?Slap the face of those aristocratic families that failed at the beginning.

This is simply an incredible move.

You must know that although the family was defeated in that battle, what the family lost was only the power of soldiers and horses. Their economy has not been damaged, and they are still the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty.This also means that the strength of the aristocratic family is still there. If the Li royal family hadn't lost their minds, they shouldn't have made such a face-slapping move.

Face slaps can easily be seen as hostility in this day and age.

As a result, now Li Jiancheng has entered the court hall, and is still sitting in the first position on the left.The first impression given by this attitude is that the Li family is going to slap the aristocratic family in the face.

Something abnormal must have a deep meaning.

Finally, a minister couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly opened his mouth to make a tentative statement: "The discussion of the Tang Dynasty is the meeting of the emperor and his ministers, but why King Yin appeared, please give me an explanation for this matter."

The one who addressed him was King Yin, and the one who addressed him was His Highness. Obviously, this minister was very shrewd, and he would never put his words into practice.Although he opened his mouth to express his doubts, no one could catch even a hint of hostility.

Moreover, the minister's probing technique was also very subtle. He did not ask Li Shimin directly, but deliberately ignored the emperor, showing an attitude aimed specifically at Li Jiancheng.

One thing can also be seen from this, that is, the aristocratic family is no longer as tyrannical as before. Although they still dare to question the royal family, they will make a lot of leeway when questioning.

The aristocratic family, after all, is no longer the original aristocratic family.

……

However, after Li Jiancheng was questioned, he first showed an easy-going smile on his face, and then explained in his unique gentle voice, and said slowly: "I don't need to answer Wang Zhongyun's question just now. After all, I He was born in the royal family of the Li family. If he wants to participate in the government, no one has the right to criticize... However, this king considers the concerns of the ministers and thinks that he must explain clearly to you, otherwise there will be misunderstandings between each other, which will affect the operation of the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, I explain it not because I am afraid of anyone, nor because I am guilty of anyone."

The tone was warm, but the words were strong, and everyone in the hall was slightly taken aback, as if seeing the Li Jiancheng from back then, who was equally gentle and unyielding.

Someone subconsciously opened his mouth, with a faintly excited face, and said softly: "Your Highness...Your Highness..." Immediately, this person felt something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up, but his heart was beating wildly, as if a longing was constantly growing,

Precisely at this time, Li Jiancheng's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a smile: "This king was born in the Kaihuang period of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he was already thirty at the time of the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The royal family took advantage of the situation in Taiyuan, quelled the war, established the country and opened the dynasty, and because this king is the head of the princes, he canonized as the first generation of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty..."

He paused for a while while talking, then continued to laugh and said: "The person in the East Palace is also the crown prince. Since I became the crown prince, I can say that I have been trembling every day, for fear of not being worthy of virtue, for fear of breeding arrogance, so I work hard Participate in politics, devote your whole body and mind to the court, be loyal to the country, be loyal to the court, and devote yourself to the court. Treat the people of the world with love like a child..."

He stopped talking again, his tone was a little emotional, and he said softly: "So I can say without shame, I, Li Jiancheng, have never been ashamed of anyone in my life. All the people in the world, listening to the voices of the people, are still praised and remembered, saying Calling Li Jiancheng a good person, ministers, do you think I, Li Jiancheng, are right or wrong in my self-defense?"

Needle dropping could be heard in the hall, and the faces of the ministers were all different.

After a long while, someone finally spoke solemnly, saying: "Your Highness is benevolent, and the world can learn from it. Although you used yourself as a bait to entrap the family three years ago, we have damaged our self-preservation and self-protection. Private soldiers, but even today, we still can't bear hatred. Every time His Highness's name is mentioned, people in the family just sigh softly, and almost everyone will say bitterly, why isn't Li Jiancheng the one who inherits the throne?"

"it is good!"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth suddenly, looked up to the sky and let out a loud laugh. Then, he looked at the minister who had spoken just now, and said, "Why isn't Li Jiancheng the one who inherits the throne? Your Excellency's emotion just now is exactly why I, Li Jiancheng, entered the imperial court today." The reason for the meeting hall."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up from the cushion, and said loudly: "To this day, there are still people who miss me. This kind of situation should make me, Li Jiancheng, ecstatic, but have you ever thought about it? Great hidden danger. My second younger brother has ascended the throne, and he is the new generation monarch of the Tang Dynasty. Under the whole world, he is the emperor, and on the shore of the land, he is the king. It has been said since ancient times that a country cannot live without a king, but at the same time There is another saying that a country cannot have two masters at the same time, but the current situation is that there are still people who are thinking about making me, Li Jiancheng, the emperor..."

The elder brother of the royal family had scorching eyes, and suddenly seemed to sweep over some ministers. Then, his tone became sincere and sad, and he said softly: "I know, some people are still thinking about me. I also know, You have never been reconciled. But I want to advise you, you must let go when it is time to let go. "

As he spoke, he walked slowly a few steps, and said softly: "If not, it will be a hazard."

The hall was extremely silent.

Li Jiancheng slowly walked back to the cushion, as if he had finished his explanation, but a gentle smile appeared on his face again, and his voice was as gentle as before, so his persuasion echoed throughout the hall, saying: " You guys, it's time to let go. Because, I, Li Jiancheng, never intended to fight..."

After finishing this sentence, another sentence followed, the last sentence seemed particularly intriguing and meaningful: "This time the Tang Dynasty launched a call to fight a million-level war for the Han nation. When In this battle, there will inevitably be countless heroes and blood."

Chapter 364 [All ministers, all worship]

I Have a Backstage in the Tang Dynasty Chapter 364 of the main text volume [All ministers, all worship] Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Tianya slowly stood up from the cushion.

Before opening his mouth, he smiled first. The smile carried his unique gentleness, making people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze.

However, the ministers present were all terrified at the same time.

"No, seeing Gu Tianya's smile again..." This thought flashed through almost everyone's mind.

So, I feel even more frightened.

Especially the minister who asked the question just now took a step back subconsciously. He obviously became anxious and panicked in his heart, but he couldn't show his weakness on the surface, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Gu... why is Mr. Gu laughing like that? .”

"Hehehehe!" The one who answered him was Gu Tianya being kind again.

The minister was terrified of being laughed at.

After several years of dealing with each other, almost everyone knew that Gu Tianya was not a good bird, and when Gu Tianya was smiling, it basically meant that he was about to use a knife.

However, Gu Tianya's knife is ruthless and accurate, every time it makes people hate and angry and can't refuse, so the ministers will be vigilant at the first time, especially the minister who asked the question just now is even more frightened.

I'm so panicked.

Why am I standing up and questioning his courtship.

Will this be retaliation?

Being targeted by Gu Tianya is not a good thing!

In just a few breaths, the minister had a lot of inner drama...

……

However, this time, everyone wrongly blamed Gu Tianya.

I saw that Gu Tianya did not show the posture of trying to play tricks in his smile, but his face showed sincerity, and he bowed his hands to the minister who asked the question just now, and asked: "Your Excellency is a speech officer?" Bar?"

uh-huh?

The minister on the opposite side was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, as if he had realized something, his confidence became stronger, and he subconsciously said, "Yes, I am a speech officer. As a speech officer, I have the right to ask about politics, even if it is aimed at His Majesty, I dare to criticize and raise doubts loudly. Even if the emperor is very displeased, there is no law in the Tang Dynasty to punish people for speaking, so why should I be afraid?"

But after he thought of this, his confidence suddenly weakened again, and he said secretly: "No, no, no. The emperor is the emperor, and Gu Tianya is Gu Tianya. Although I am the spokesperson of the Tang Dynasty, I am logically qualified to question any government affairs, but Gu Tianya is different from others, this guy is full of routines..."

Apparently, this minister had another series of inner dramas.

Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Tianya's gentle voice sounded again, this time it seemed to be like a spring breeze, sweeping away all the apprehensions of the minister.

Just listen to Gu Tianya's gentle voice: "Your Excellency, as a speaker, is responsible for discussing politics. The so-called speaker means that you can say anything. Not only can you say anything, but you can also ask when you encounter it. As long as the speaker is puzzled , there's no limit to asking questions, right?"

The minister nodded subconsciously, and slowly stabilized his heart, saying: "That's right, that's exactly the case."

However, Gu Tianya didn't leave him anymore, instead he turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and said again: "Your Majesty, what I just said is right?"

Li Shimin smiled faintly, nodded his head and said: "The responsibility of the officials of the Tang Dynasty is indeed as you said, so my answer is what you just said is correct."

Gu Tianya laughed, and then asked again: "So that means, I shouldn't be annoyed by the speaker's questioning?"

Li Shimin still smiled lightly, nodded again and said: "According to the logic, it really shouldn't be."

The emperor paused slightly as he spoke, and then continued: "After all, even the emperor, I have to be tolerant to the officials. Although it is not polite, but it must be acceptable. Whenever they question me, I will Maybe you will feel displeased in your heart, but when it is time to accept advice, you must accept advice."

Gu Tianya laughed again, nodded and said: "Understood, I also understand."

Then he turned around again, looked at the minister and said, "Have you heard clearly? Your Majesty will support you."

The minister subconsciously straightened his back.

It wasn't until this time that Gu Tianya finally revealed his intention for this move. He raised his hand for the second time, arched at the minister, and said, "Your Excellency just questioned me and asked me why? Come to the morning court, now I, Gu Tianya, will give you an explanation, the reason is that I am also a courtier of the Tang Dynasty..."

uh-huh!

Everyone in the hall was taken aback.

Gu Tianya let go of his hands, looked at some people with vague eyes, a smile appeared on his face, his tone seemed to be joking, and suddenly he opened his mouth, stared at a few people and asked: "Everyone, do you still remember six years ago? I beat Sun Zhao to death in Miyun county government office in [-]..."
