The Tianjin Bridge, which had been blocked for several days, finally returned to its openness again. Pedestrians on the bridge gathered towards the Imperial City Terminal.

There were many soldiers in front of Duanmen, and envoys appointed by King Yong shuttled through the crowd with a book of books, and recorded the courtesans gathered here. The courtesans wore official robes and looked around with complex expressions. Occasionally, they saw their familiar colleagues and friends appear in the crowd, either smiling and nodding, or gathering together to tell their own experiences since the turmoil.

The turmoil in Shendu City was a big blow to the court. Because the turmoil began with the Nanya army directly targeting the ruling group, and the various violent destruction made people miserable. Many important court officials who were in front of the gate were directly plundered by the imperial guards. After a great disaster, it was indeed a very lucky thing to be able to stand here intact.

But in addition to this kind of glory after the disaster, most of the courtiers gathered in front of Duanmen were in a bad mood.

After King Yong returned to the country, although he quickly put down all kinds of riots in the city and established a preliminary order, the overall participation of the courtiers was not high enough. They seemed to be excluded, and it seemed that the direction of the entire empire was not related to them in the future.

It is already satisfactory for ordinary people in Fangqu to live in peace, but these juveniles are not ordinary people after all. Whether out of public or private plans, they all want to join the reconstruction of order. However, the Shendu City is no longer as familiar to them, and the official titles and power they have in the past have no environment to establish a foothold.

Although King Yong has also recruited some court officials to grant power in the past few days, most of the court officials have not found their own place in this new order. They are idle all day long and are trapped in the residence, which naturally makes people worry and confused.

This time, King Yong ordered the ranks of the courts and the courts to gather the courts and the courts were also very responsive. He hoped that this gathering could break the deadlock that had no way to talk to before, and hoped that the old and new orders could communicate and blend, so that the world would develop in a better direction.

"Report to Your Highness, there are 370 officials in the court, 786 officials in the fifth rank and above, and 213 officials in the rank and above. After deducting the scattered officials, there are 943 officials, and 532 officials in the Duanmen Signature. The fifth rank and below are still to be audited..."

In the middle of the day, Li Sixun, the prime minister who was appointed as the Xuan Mission by Li Tong, climbed the Duanmen Tower and reported to the gathering of court officials with a plan book in his hand.

Hearing this number, Li Tong frowned slightly, but soon stretched a little further. Even if he was above the fifth rank, he had entered the sequence of middle and high-level officials and was also the backbone of the court.

There were more than 900 people in total, but only more than 500 people were recruited, not even two-thirds of them. Whether it was the harm caused to the court by this turmoil or the officials who did not recognize their orders and refused to enter the court, such a shocking gap in posts was enough to make people shocked.

But such a comparison of numbers is still better than Li Tong’s expectations.

The confrontation between Xingtai and the court has been going on for several years. Under the influence of such an atmosphere, a considerable number of court officials will inevitably fail to view the power of King Yong and lack sufficient respect. After returning to Shendu, he did not give the original court officials a pension.

Under such circumstances, more than half of the officials above the fifth rank were present, which also means that people still have a foundation to clean up. No matter what the officials present were, at least they still have a sense of identity with their respective official positions, and still recognize and cherish their identity as a member of Tang.

Of course, the officials of Tang may not be subordinates of King Yong. Li Tong stood on the city tower and looked down, and could clearly see the officials present spontaneously gathered into small groups, and the members of the groups were also moving around and communicating.

Such a phenomenon does not need to be directly called a clique, but it is enough to show the personnel relationship between officials. This personnel relationship is obviously not very related to King Yong, because as early as a few years ago, King Yong's influence in the court was washed away and there was not much left.

The reason why Li Tong had to bypass the old personnel structure of the court and the new team was that he was worried that the personnel relationship between officials would hinder the implementation of his teachings and orders, and hoped that the original court system could be gradually absorbed through specific affairs operations.

However, the death of the emperor and the King of Luling both made him lose time to operate calmly. He had to establish a unique authority in the shortest time to deal with the subsequent changes.

Seeing that the courtiers had almost gathered, and although there were sporadic joining, there would be no large-scale growth. So Li Tong went down the city tower and walked out from the Duanmen surrounded by the soldiers.

"I'm going to pay homage to His Highness, King Yong of Zhenguo!"

Standing at the front of Duanmen are several prime ministers of the court, namely the Minister of Rites Wang Heshan, the Minister of the Yellow Gate Zhang Xi, the Minister of War Sun Yuanheng, and the Chief of the Hall Jiang Xi.

Several people said they were greeting each other, but they just bowed and bowed. This is normal. The prime minister is the leader of all officials and has a transcendent status. In addition, King Yong has been neglecting the court officials since his return to the country, so that the court officials have a lot of resentment. As the prime minister is the leader of all officials, if he shows too flattery in such a scene that is full of public attention, he will undoubtedly be depressed.

But after bowing, the reactions of several prime ministers became quite interesting. First, Wang Jishan, the old man Rui, seemed to have been standing for a long time, causing his physical strength to be exhausted. His body swayed and his waist bent, and he bowed directly to King Yong. Seeing this, Zhang Xi, on the other side, hurriedly went in front of him to support him, and also pointed his knees with his knees.

As for the Minister of War, Sun Yuanheng, there were many things, and bowing was a representative of the court clans to express their dissatisfaction with the neglect of King Yong. Then he bowed and apologized: "This time, the gods are in chaos, and the two yamen are mostly against the law. I am the minister of the government and the crime is dereliction of duty. I respectfully ask the palace to surrender!"

In a very short time, the four prime ministers bowed down three people, but Jiang Xi was standing there without hesitation, looking very out of place. After being a little surprised, he did not dare to be self-righteous. He also bowed to the ground, and there was already cold sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with resentment and glanced at Wang Jishan who was still moaning on the ground.

Looking at Wang Jishan who was humming and panting heavily, Li Tong cursed in his heart that he was worthy of being an old minister who could survive from Wu Zhou's dynasty to the present. The sleekness in the details is really not a pity.

While whispering in his heart, under the gaze of the masses, he had to take a little respect for the elderly and helped Wang Jishan up. However, before he could say anything, his arms were already held by Wang Jishan.

"I saw Your Highness walking on a long toe, and I felt even more ashamed of my incompetence. At that time, I was so proud of my incompetence that I was not tired at night. I respected the emperor and praised my loyalty and honesty. The emperor even took out a sword and gave me a noble person. Now the train has been established for a long time and cannot support it..."

The gray-haired Wang Jishan looked ashamed and sighed with a trembling corner of his mouth.

Li Tong felt speechless when he heard this, but he could only follow the words of Wang and Liang: "Prince Wang was in charge of the elders and used his strength to the ancestor Nian. Now Xiao Wang is in charge of the matter, he must respect this long-standing and old-fashioned national scholar. He no longer needs to rely on his muscles and bones, but he will cherish it."

After saying this, he pulled his arm out of Wang Jishan's hand and stopped listening to this old man's reliance on his seniority. This mouth is how your grandfather and your father treated me back then, which is really unhappy. Of course, putting aside this little emotion, Wang Jishan said this and expressed that I am the old man from your family's ancestors. Let's have something to talk about.

Bypassing Wang Jishan, Li Tong lowered his eyes and looked at Sun Yuanheng who was bluntly apologizing for guilt and said, "Today, Sheng gathered the court officials, and the major plans are under discussion. The statements by Sun Gong will be submitted to the future. There is no need to make an urgent statement."

After dealing with several prime ministers, he turned his attention to the court officials who were already in order of trains and said loudly: "The capital has been turbulent a few days ago. Everyone has their own experiences and has no further remarks. The family and country are sad, and Xiao Wang hastily taken matters. However, the country is in a row, and he dare not make any decisions. Today, the wealth and talent are gathering together, and it is difficult to defeat the thieves, but it is difficult to gather.

Fortunately, there are still kindnesses in the family and country. People hope to belong to them. The emperor's suicide note is entrustment to the empress dowager. Now we welcome the empress dowager to return to the court. We will follow the emperor's legacy and praise the merits. The princes offer their talents in the court. The little king strives to calm the chaos and evil and evil, which is not worth worrying about!"

As he spoke, he turned over to the horse and held the sword to look down at the audience. At this time, after hearing what King Yong said, the ministers in front of Duanmen were talking, all kinds of discussion were already a big deal, and many people showed surprise on their faces, and some even went out to shout against each other.

Li Tong also foresaw such a scene. Previously, many personnel changes in the court were not only a large number of people, but also his members were purged, but also the ministers promoted by his grandmother were also exiled on a large scale. A considerable number of those who are still in court today lack a sense of identity with Wu Zhou, and naturally they are deeply incompatible with the Empress Dowager's return to the court again.

But Li Tong was not going to discuss with them today. He had thousands of armor inside and outside the Duanmen gate, and locked up this area firmly. He turned a deaf ear to the officials' doubts and opposition, and just stared at the important officials in front of the front. For a moment, the atmosphere in front of Duanmen gate was noisy and full of solemnity.

Under the gaze of King Yong, officials from the previous class entered the back of King Yong one after another. It was not that the higher the official position, the weaker the character, but that they were in a position that made them more and more comprehensive. The character could not solve the problems they were facing, and the opponents present might not be completely righteous, with private plans to create a splitter.

As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers of the emperor, although Emperor Li Dan had not been in power for a long time, he left his mark in the court. Especially after Wei Chengqing took charge of the Secretariat, the personnel changes in the court were profound. If he wanted to welcome the Empress Dowager back to the court, of course, he could not obtain the consent of these people.

Although King Yong issued an edict to remove the emperor's title, it was not a formal court order. Today, the ministers gathered here, and it may not be that everyone surrendered to King Yong's power. They were probably already thinking about gathering people to denounce King Yong's proclamation. Now King Yong made this repeated plan, and naturally stepped on the pain point of the group of people. Opponents gradually gathered and spoke excitedly against it.

"The frequent turmoil in the country is indeed a great misfortune of the family and country! However, the saint holds the talisman to the country and is also the people's expectations in the country. Your Highness is a special title of Zhenguo, and it is also the saint's close friend. The saints enjoy the grace of the people, and there is no such thing as the world's fault! The country is in trouble and the people are sad. Your Highness does not use support as a plan, but instead proclaims his life to disrupt! The emperor's system is over and over again, and the Empress Dowager has repeatedly violated it. At that time, Your Highness also made a contribution to upholding justice. Now he rebels on the past and recreates the evil atmosphere. How can he not be ridiculed by the world!"

Seeing the indignation of the crowd, Jiang Xi, the Duke of Hui, was also brave enough for a moment. He raised his arms and shouted with excitement: "The Tang family's kindness is not the only way to revolve around the power of the situation! Your Highness relies on his ambitions and uses strange changes to his ability, and he is loyal and unyielding, and would rather die than surrender!"

When Jiang Xi shouted out, he was indeed full of righteousness and loud voice, so that some court officials who had already stood on the side of King Yong also showed hesitation, while other court officials who had already opposed the empress dowager were even more excited and encouraged, accusing King Yong of being arrogant and domineering.

Hearing Jiang Xi's accusations, Li Tong had no angry expression on his face, but the sarcastic expression on the corner of his mouth became even stronger. He raised his hand to signal the aristocratic soldiers to beat the drum, which made the atmosphere in front of Duanmen more solemn. The opposing courtiers also had a blue and white face for a moment. Some were timid and silenced, but some were even more angry and stomped their feet and scolded them under the suppression of the drum sound.

"The country's use of scholars is not limited to one style. Since the Tang family started its business, they have paid special attention to merit, politics, education, and sarcasm and advice. They are both done! The clan boys are respectful in their work. Everything they have accumulated has been followed. How can evil voices and spirits be destroyed by creating inside and outside? In the past year, the old days, the military will be carried out by the army and horses. The family and country have made me dare not quit their work, lying on snow and drinking ice, hoping that my family and country will be forever solid and will not let their gratitude down."

Li Tong raised his hand again, and the sound of the drums stopped. Taking advantage of the silence of the scene, he pointed at Jiang Xi and said sternly: "Jiang's demonic voice is accusing me of being strong. However, he is the magistrate, and he is not a good person. Before I returned to the capital, the fox and rat were walking in chaos. Where are the kings and fathers in the hall? The family and country are confused and lost, and the public goods are overwhelmed by the dust. There are so many dangers in it. Why can't you give up your body to become a chastity? The thief who steals his fortune has no power of stability and chaos. The solar terms are all between the verbals. Such despicable materials are enjoying the high position. If it weren't for the Zhangzhi blocking me, how could you allow you to see the blue sky again!"

After scolding Jiang Xi, he rode his horse to the opponents who gathered together, pointing at the crowd and angrily said: "In the past, there were great affairs of the family and country, and the king and father were ruling, and the boy was respectful in his duties. However, rebellion arose in the country, traitors were flooded in the temple, the emperor's blood was actually a food for jackals, and the elders of the Zong family sprinkled blood on earth, and the family and country were very hated, and it was hard to do anything! You falsely accused me of it, but the family disaster was tragic.

I endured the sorrow of crying blood, and I welcomed my kindness, rebuilt the rules, so as to distinguish right from wrong, and make a famous punishment, and not to abuse and kill. I have been enjoying the national fortune for a long time, and I will still falsely accused me of the most evil and force me to be dispelled from my family and country. Who has no place to guard me? If I cannot tolerate each other as a country, I would rather die than surrender, and I would rather break than bend, and I would rather be broken than be a broken jade than a treacherous one! Even if the world is against me, I will be flesh and blood, and the family will give me a sharp knife in my hand, and my blood will be paid for my blood!”
