Chapter 430 Don’t you think it’s ridiculous
If it were someone else, Chen Yao would not give up so easily.
What's more, others don't have that much courage.
Therefore, the most suitable candidate to sit in the north now is none other than the British Duke.
"Your Majesty has said so, so I have no choice but to sacrifice my old bones." Seeing what Zhao Xing said, the British public could no longer refuse.
"Haha, the father-in-law is getting stronger and stronger. There is no problem in serving the country for a few more years. Once this incident is over, the father-in-law should have a good rest. I am going to build a martial arts school, and the father-in-law can serve as a teacher." Zhao Xing smiled.
"Lecture on martial arts hall?" The British Duke was stunned when he heard this.
“Nowadays, most of the generals in the army are the children of generals. Although there are some who are capable, most of them rely on the shadow of their ancestors to live in the army and do not want to make progress.
I want to set up a martial arts hall. All the lord's disciples who want to hold actual positions and talents selected by martial arts must study in the martial arts hall and be appointed on the basis of merit! " Zhao Xing explained the function and purpose of the martial arts hall in detail! Read it again.
The Martial Arts Hall is actually a military school. In the past, the children of Lords could directly serve in the military with the help of a seal.
If Zhao Xing directly cancels Yin Feng, not only the military generals will be unwilling, but also the civilian officials will not agree.
After all, they can also get the Yin Feng. Who knows if Zhao Xing banned the Yin Feng of the general Xun Jue, will he cancel theirs?
Even if Zhao Xing doesn't know how to do it, those generals may take the initiative to ask him if they feel unbalanced.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Xing has this intention, he will face the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, both civil and military.
The existence of the martial arts hall can be regarded as a compromise.
He did not cancel the title of military commander, but he could only grant it a false title.
If you want to hold a practical position, you must study in the martial arts hall and compete with those selected from the martial arts examination.
If they can’t do it, then they are their own waste.
After Lord Jiangmen, even the people selected by the people can't compare, and they have no shame to come to Zhao Xing to make trouble.
After hearing this, the British Duke smiled and said: "Your Majesty said this, I look forward to the establishment of a martial arts hall as soon as possible. I actually have time to teach and educate people in my life, I am very yearning to think about it!"< br>
"Don't worry, I will build a martial arts hall next year." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
After chatting with the British Duke for a long time, Zhao Xing hosted a banquet in honor of the British Duke and invited Zhang Guifen and Zhang Feng over.
Zhang Guifen became pregnant in May last year and is now seven months old.
The British father was very happy to see his daughter with a big belly and a rosy complexion, and unconsciously drank a few more glasses.
The banquet was over and the British Duke was helped away by Zhang Feng.
"Even though my father is old, he is still greedy for alcohol. I didn't even notice that he drank too much. Now I will be talked about by my mother again when I go back."
Zhang Guifen watched Zhang Feng help her father leave. Worrying but also finding it funny.
"The husband and wife of the country have such a good relationship for many years, which is really enviable." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
The British Duke was definitely considered a good man in ancient times. He only had one wife and had never taken a concubine in his life.
"Your Majesty said this as if he and his concubines will not be like this in the future." Zhang Guifen said angrily.
"Haha, I made a mistake. In the future, when the queen and I get old, we will be as loving as the father-in-law and the others." Zhao Xing smiled and hugged Zhang Guifen and said.
"Yes." Zhang Guifen nodded and leaned into Zhao Xing's arms.
…………
The new year is approaching, and Zhao Xing is rarely free.
On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Zhao Xing held a banquet in the palace to entertain the clan.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xing put on his imperial robes and went to the Daqing Hall to attend the Zhengdan court meeting.
The Great Court Meeting is held at the beginning of each year, which is the highest-level court ceremony since the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Not only envoys from vassal countries and countries with whom we have good relations will come to send gifts and congratulates, but also local magistrates will come to Beijing to participate.
With the addition of hundreds of civil and military officials from the DPRK and China, the number of people was very large. Normally, even in the early morning court, Zhao Xing wears ordinary clothes, but on the day of the big court meeting, he needs to wear the crown clothes.
This is the first major court meeting after Zhao Xing succeeded to the throne.
Starting from today, the Song Dynasty will also officially change its name to Xuanwu!
The crown robe is very heavy, and the hem stretches several meters. When walking, a group of eunuchs are supporting her behind.
Usually Zhao Xing would go directly to the imperial platform from the apse to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.
Today, Zhao Xing needs to enter from the main entrance of the hall.
When Zhao Xing arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the eunuch holding the hem of his clothes behind him put the hem of his clothes down, and Zhao Xing slowly walked into the main hall dragging the hem of his clothes.
I can’t help it, the clothes are too heavy and I can’t get up quickly.
Zhao Xing didn’t understand why the ancient crown uniform was designed like this. Could it be to make him feel the weight of the country?
"Your Majesty has arrived!" shouted the eunuch of the Si Dian Hall.
All the officials bowed and stood up. It was not until Zhao Xing walked up to the imperial platform and sat down on the dragon chair that the eunuch of the Si Dian shouted: "Bye!"
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
All the officials knelt down and shouted: "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xing looked at the officials kneeling below, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The officials thanked him and stood up.
At this time, a group of waiters filed in carrying trays guarding the bartender.
Soon each official was holding a cup of wine.
And Zhao Xing also held one in his hand.
Next, the officials toasted to Zhao Xing in order from low to high.
When toasting, they will say some auspicious words first, and then drink the wine and then retreat.
Every official toasted in turn, and it was naturally impossible for Zhao Xing to drink.
You must know that there are hundreds of civil and military officials today, including magistrates from various states and officials from various provinces. How could Zhao Xing come here to drink.
He only needs to wait for all the officials to finish their toasts, say a few words of honor, and finally drink the wine in the glass.
The whole process lasted for nearly an hour, and Zhao Xing almost dozed off.
After the toast, Zhao Xing looked at Sanshui. The third uncle understood, stepped forward with the imperial edict, and began to read it out.
The content of the imperial edict is very simple, which is to announce the change of Yuan Dynasty to "Xuanwu" to the world.
After the edict was read out, it was time for local officials to report the local situation to Zhao Xing.
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the emperor would meet with the princes to learn about the situation of the areas governed by each prince.
After Qin unified the world, the Great Court Meeting turned into local officials reporting to the emperor the situation of the area they governed.
To put it simply, it can be regarded as a ‘duty report’ by the local chief official.
Of course these officials can only choose good lectures. After listening to a few, Zhao Xing felt a little bored.
"Wait!"
One magistrate retreated after telling the story, and when the other magistrate was about to step forward, Zhao Xing interrupted.
“I have just listened to the accounts of several magistrates. According to them, the whole world is at peace in Heqinghaiyan, and the officials who have taken over are probably the same. But is the world really peaceful?”
< br>Zhao Xing glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Last year, there were floods in Jiangzhou and other places. The magistrate of Jiangzhou colluded with the wizard sect to hoard Jiangzhou. The food used for disaster relief was sold to the Wizarding Cult at a low price. Will the Wizarding Cult directly recruit troops to rebel in a few years?
The imperial court has a ban on witchcraft for so many years. No one has caught the wizards, but you are here telling me how the people can live and work in peace and contentment under the rule. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
