That night, Qin Lang stayed in the mansion of Duke Qi in Qinrenfang.

At night, the sound of firecrackers comes one after another, and it’s so lively. This year’s life is difficult, but everyone is distributing more and more firecrackers, which completely eliminates the bad luck of the year.

In the middle of the night, the sound of firecrackers stopped for a while.

But soon the sound of firecrackers sounded across the city.

"Sanlang, it's already New Year's Day of the first year of Zhenguan."

Yuxiao hugged Qin Lang and said, "Why didn't you ask Youwei to serve you?"

"I want to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new with you, and our children."

In a simple sentence, Yuxiao was so excited that she pushed Qin Lang down.

"What are you doing?"

"Official, I want it."

"No, you have such a big belly, don't hurt the child."

"It's okay if you're gentle, hurry."

The jade flute seemed to be lit, with red eyes and pink face.

Qin Lang didn't dare to push her too hard, so he had to cooperate halfway.

After some trouble, she fell asleep with a satisfied smile, but Qin Lang couldn't sleep.

He pillowed on the jade flute with one hand and on his head with the other. He opened his eyes wide and listened to the sound of explosive rods coming from time to time outside the window.

The sound of firecrackers eliminates the old year, and always replaces the new peach with old charms. Wude is over and Zhenguan is coming.

Before dawn, Qin Lang got up with two dark circles of eyes, took a shower, changed into court clothes, and changed into court clothes.

Qin Qiong was ready there, and the father and the other two went out together.

Today is the main dynasty meeting, and it has to be a whole day. In fact, this kind of ceremony is a ritual, which is very complicated, but it is essential for the emperor and the court to demonstrate etiquette.

Especially this year was the first year of the change of the reign, which was the first dynasty after the emperor ascended the throne.

This was the first time that many Hu vassal envoys saw the new emperor.

Ah Huang brought the hot dumplings.

It was still warm in a food box, "Eat a little, I'll probably go hungry today."

Today's dynasty meeting was held in Tai Chi Palace, which was even more grand than the day Li Shimin ascended the throne. In fact, it was equivalent to the military parade in later generations. It was also held on the city gate tower, with many ceremonies, activities, etc.

It's probably impossible to complete in just a few hours.

The dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year are really good, including beef stuffing, leek stuffing, and shrimp stuffing. Qin Lang ate twenty of them alone.

On Chang'an Street, carriages and horses gathered together, and the lights were continuous, like fire dragons, heading straight towards Tai Chi Palace.

It was not yet dawn, but the patrol cavalry and the Jiepu Martial Guards of the Right Jinwu Guard had already been on duty in full arms. At the gates of each street corner, there were brigades of patrol personnel standing loyally and abiding by them.

Qin Lang was quite satisfied with seeing these former subordinates, who were covered with cloaks and jackets on this cold night.

The money he had worked hard to get for the court before played a role. The imperial guards were treated well and their equipment was fine.

The sky suddenly began to drift snowflakes, like goose feathers.

"It's good to snow. On New Year's Day in Zhenguan, it will snow heavily. Heavy snow indicates a good harvest!" Qin Lang was very happy. In winter, the people fear snow and hope for snow. They are afraid that the snow is too heavy to crush the house. It is hard to bear the cold weather, but they hope that the snow can freeze the insects in the ground. Especially after there are big locusts this autumn, there must be many locust eggs in the ground. A heavy snow can freeze most of the locust eggs.

Moreover, it will be heavy and there will be enough rain next year.

If there is no snow or heavy snow in winter, next year will definitely be a major disaster year with either drought or locusts.

There were still some dumplings left in the food box. Qin Lang ate a few of the leopard heads under his crotch, and gave the rest to the guards' personal soldiers. As a result, they all said they had eaten before leaving the door.

In the end, Qin Lang didn't force it and gave it to the leopard head.

Before arriving at the Imperial City, you have to wait in line for the palace gate to open. Fortunately, you can go to the yard to wait for the fire.

Today, whether it is civil officials, military officials or scattered officials, everyone is here in Beijing, and everyone is constantly greeting each other.

Niu Jinda, Su Lie, Li Jinxing and other people who came back from Youzhou all squeezed to Qin Lang to pay their respects.

·······

From the time of dawn to the afternoon, Qin Lang felt a little exhausted, especially today, the snow continued to fall, and it was falling for a long time, and the snow had accumulated on his knees.

At the court meeting, Qin Lang followed the officials to worship and danced three times.

The Secretary of the Central Committee ordered the presentation of auspicious deeds in various places, and the Minister of the Secretariat reported the presentation of tributes in various places.

The Honglu Temple also submitted letters from various vassal envoys to congratulate him!

The etiquette is complex and very strict. From the left and right servants to the scattered officials, they must dance and dance according to the ceremony, and they cannot be wrong at all.

The above-mentioned progress is all about various scenes, such as white deer appearing wherever there, meteorites fall from the sky, etc., or some divine turtles appearing, such as Jiahe, etc.

It was just a time-consuming thing. Qin Lang didn't believe in any auspiciousness, but he also knew that this was needed by the court, so it sounded nice.

As for the letters and congratulations of envoys from various countries, there are a few who are actually congratulating, and some of them are those who pretend to be envoys.

But this ceremony cannot be missed.

Between the court congratulations, there are also bells and drums from Taichang Temple.

My stomach was roaring, and finally the court meeting ended, and the emperor gave me a banquet.

At the banquet, the emperor gave the ministers cypress leaves and wine, but he didn't know what this meant, but the ministers who received the wine of the cypress leaves and wine all wanted to write poems to congratulate them.

This was a difficult thing for Qin Lang to find two more suitable poems to recite, which attracted a lot of praise.

Emperor Li Shimin also kept drinking in the hall, looking harmonious with the king and his ministers, and the vassals who were dressed in various styles and looked strangely decorated, which also highlighted the appearance of everyone becoming more civilized.

This year's official banquet has added many new dishes.

Dongpo pork, white chop chicken, roast duck, ham, bacon, sausage, and vegetables also add a lot of fresh vegetables, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, onion...

Li Shimin changed the crown of the dynasty meeting, put on the crown of the sky, the crimson robe, and the red one was like a big rooster.

Qin Lang also wore a grand court dress according to the rules, but he was all focused on wine and meat. Before dawn, he was so hungry that he was too hungry.

However, his Diao Changuan was quite conspicuous, and he sat next to the prime ministers at a young age.

Many vassal envoys were secretly asking about this person's identity.

"Son-in-law!" said human.

"The emperor's most favored minister!"

"This is not only a simple matter of the emperor's son-in-law's favored minister, but this method is amazing!"

Some people secretly laughed at this romantic scandal that was not long ago, "Auntie and nephew take it all!"

After Qin Lang had enough food and drink, he looked at the barbarians and the ceremonial guards in front of the palace.

It has to be said that the ceremonial ceremonies of the Tang Dynasty were really energetic. Not only were they all strong men over 1.8 meters tall, but they were all children of senior officials. They were paired with these shiny armor and majestic embroidery robes, and they were divided into various colors, holding painting halberds, golden gourds and other ritual vessels.

These honor guards did show the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty in front of the vassals, which was as amazing as a military parade.

An eunuch came to Qin Lang.

"Your Majesty summons the Duke of Wing to come forward."

Li Shimin was very happy today and was already drunk. He smiled and waved to Qin Lang, holding Qin Lang's hand and sitting with him.

"Sanlang, I am very happy today, very happy. All of this is your credit."

"Your Majesty, I have only done some things."

Li Shimin was very happy. Today's big scene made him truly feel what the Lord of the World is. Especially the congratulations of envoys from all directions made him even happier. The Turkic Khan sent Zhishisili to celebrate, Tuli also sent Ashinasmo to celebrate, and even the Khan of the Western Turkic Khan also sent envoys to congratulate.

There are also countries such as Gaochang, Yanqi, Silla, and Baekje. Even Goguryeo, a small overlord in the northeast, this time the king sent a prince to personally send a letter of congratulations.

Everyone gives face, which makes Li Shimin very proud.

"Sanlang, all countries have tributes. I have received rewards from the Tang Dynasty. I will leave this reward to you. I will definitely not lose my etiquette or face."

Qin Lang nodded, "Please rest assured by Your Majesty."

The Transport Department originally had the position of a market and the tribute and rewards were actually an official tribute trade, so how could Qin Lang not understand it?

"The imperial examination will be held after the New Year. This year is the first subject in Zhenguan, so it must be completed. I have said before that you will not change the current academic tribute examination."

The emperor was happy and planned to add an official to Qin Lang.

Before, Qin Lang was a tribute student, but after all, he was a bachelor's degree in Chongxian Pavilion, but now he is just a transferee. So Li Shimin said, "I will grant you the title of bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy."

The name of Hanlin began in the Han Dynasty.

But this Hanlin Bachelor has never been before.

The emperor briefly said a few words: The Hanlin Bachelor has no fixed number and no rank. To put it bluntly, it is a false title. But Li Shimin also said that the Transportation Department is now responsible for many affairs and has a great responsibility. The emperor's decree about the Transportation Department is not convenient to make it public directly. The Secretariat drafted the edict on the Transportation Department, which was difficult to keep confidential and sometimes it was not easy to deal with urgent needs.

So the emperor simply appointed Qin Lang as the Hanlin bachelor. In the future, some imperial edicts that were related to the need to be kept confidential by the Transport Department, so he directly asked him to draft them.

"Your Majesty, isn't this incompatibility?"

According to Li Shimin's idea, the edict drafted by the Hanlin Bachelor is actually a central edict, and it is directly issued and executed without passing through the Secretariat and the Secretariat. Theoretically, this is an illegal edict that officials can refuse to implement.

In fact, this situation has occurred in all dynasties. Sometimes the emperor wrote the edicts himself or drafted by his close ministers. This is also called internal system. It is completely different from the edicts drafted by the people of the Central Secretariat of the imperial court. The edicts drafted by the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat of the Central Secret

However, under the monarchy, the emperor's imperial decree was actually inevitable. It was just like the emperor who directly granted officials without going through the Secretariat. Although such officials were called obliquely granted officials, they were also very popular.

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin is actually further enhancing the imperial power and seizing the prime minister's power.

Without this Hanlin Bachelor, he could actually issue a Chinese imperial edict, but now he would have to set up a Hanlin Bachelor to draft an edict, which means that Li Shimin might not only intend to let the Hanlin draft the edict be completely ignored by the Zhongshu, but also may also have to hand over some edicts to the Zhongshu Menxia Province in the future. In fact, it is equivalent to slowly robbing the power of the Zhongshu Sheren to draft the edict.

After all, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat belongs to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, and the Hanlin scholar is obviously the emperor's personal personalities.

The emperor's desire for power is indeed extraordinary. He tried every means to seize power. Even the power such as drafting an edict had to be inserted and compete for some.

Qin Lang was eventually awarded the title of Hanlin Bachelor at the banquet of Zhengdan Dynasty. This was a slanted official, with the prime minister in advance and the political participation was unaware of it.

The prime ministers were not very good-looking, but because this was the emperor Qinxuan at the banquet, there were many local officials and foreign envoys, the prime ministers were not easy to refute, so they were plotted against by the emperor.
