Chapter 204 Freshly Released Little Marquis(1/2)

:.

.\\net

In ancient times, the emperor ascended the throne was a very troublesome thing. Even if Li Xian had the fake "Wu Zetian's will" in his hand, he had to go through many procedures. First of all, he would be unable to say three words and three requests. Although he could not be the emperor in his heart, if the emperor refused to say anything, it would not be enough to show his mind. If all officials did not ask for it, it would not be enough to show that the emperor was so proud of the people in the world.

In addition, there are many other things such as worshiping gods in heaven and earth, ancestors of the ancestral temples, and many other things are dazzling. Fortunately, Li Xian inherited the throne under extraordinary circumstances. In order to save many nights and dreams, many programs can be avoided, and what cannot be avoided is also simple. In addition, Tang Song had not been qualified to participate in the rank of the rank of the country before, which saved him a lot of worry and suffered many crimes.

Even so, the three consecutive days of performances made Tang Song annoyed. The so-called performances are actually learning rituals. Learning the etiquette of meeting the emperor is only part of it. As a future honorary honor, the emperor will have to accompany him whenever there are sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, suburban sacrifices, and even hunting. In these different rituals or activities, if he is in charge of the position, clothing, and speaking, he has to learn about these things. Even if he gets along with his parents, wife and children in his home after the title is awarded, he will teach him.

It's a scam, the court is too lenient to take care of the people, wouldn't it be good to have such idleness to seek benefits for the people? But despite his heart, Tang Song still endured these three days. He actually understood that since Duke Zhou created rituals and music, these rituals have been far from simple etiquette, but a collection of social rule and social behavioral norms.

This contains the distinction between the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son, the five ties and the position of the individual in the entire society. In short, this is one of the core essences of the normal operation of the society in the present day

No one can shake this at the moment. Even if the dynasty has changed, the dynasty still has to follow this trick. Since we are now living in such a world and have been lucky enough to be granted a title, we have to follow the rules of the world.

After the three-day show, Tang Song was tired of back pain, and his mind was covered in soreness. He remembered too many cumbersome and boring things.

I went to bed early that night, and the next day when it was still dark, I got up and washed up. Then I took a bus and squeezed onto the main gate of the palace city - Duanmen Avenue

In extraordinary times, although this was a huge decline, only officials above the sixth rank in Beijing participated in the so-called grand dynasty meeting, it still crowded the road to Duanmen. There was no way. There were too many officials attending the dynasty meeting, so there were naturally many cars and horses. If it weren't for the on-duty service staff from Jingzhao Yamen, it would be a traffic jam.

Occasionally, when the car was slow, Tang Song could always hear complaints and expectations around him, complaining that the road was too narrow, hoping that the world would return to the Li Tang Dynasty and the Later Kingdom would be able to move back to Chang'an, Xijing as soon as possible. If it were on Zhuque Street, would there be such a heart-warming congestion there?

Hearing this, Tang Song couldn't help but smile. It seemed that not only this was the case in later generations, but it was inevitable that there were too many officials. When officials traveled, they had to take many long followers.

From this, it is not surprising that the width of Zhuque Street, the main road of Chang'an City is 150 meters.

It has been several years since Xiangyang Baishen entered the capital, and has entered the palace many times, but it has entered the palace from the main gate of the Shendu Palace City. This is the first time that marks the qualitative leap that marked his identity change.

Duanmen, also known as Tianmen, has never been opened lightly. As soon as I entered this door, the noise outside naturally disappeared. All the officials who got off the carriage walked forward under the illumination of the butter palace lamps on both sides. For a moment, they could only hear a slightly scattered rustling footsteps.

After walking for a while, under the bright butter palace lanterns in front of him, Tang Song saw a magnificent hall standing on a high base.

This 294-foot-high polygonal building with 300-foot square has only three floors. At the top is a circular pavilion. A golden phoenix with wings flying over a meter above the pavilion stands at the top of the pavilion.

Just like Chang'an Palace City, which is located on the highest terrain of Longshouyuan in Chang'an City, Shendu Palace City is also located at the highest terrain of Luoyang City. This magnificent palace and pavilion is the tallest building in the palace city.

The golden phoenix, which was more than one zhang high, stood at the highest point of the palace city, and flapped its wings and flew down to the world. Its arrogant posture and momentum far exceeded the power of the Panlong

Seeing this scene, Tang Song knew that the magnificent palace in front of him must be the Mingtang built by Wu Zetian's imperial decree. This is a building carefully prepared for her ascending the throne and becoming the emperor. Its scale and complexity are far from all the palaces of the Li Tang and the East and West Capitals. It can not only represent the highest achievement of the Tang Dynasty architecture with magnificent momentum as the highest aesthetic principle, but also a masterpiece recognized in the history of architecture, whose design and construction capabilities are close to or reach the highest level of feudal society.

Unfortunately, it is such a rare architectural wonder in the history of Chinese architecture and Chinese culture. After Wu Zetian's death, it was first demolished by Li Tang on the upper floor, and then completely turned into ashes during the Anshi Rebellion. This made later architectural historians sigh with regret every thought.

Fortunately, Tang Song finally witnessed his majesty today, but in the end, what he saw through this building was the deceased Wu Zetian, who had already been defeated by Wu Zetian, who tried to recreate the heroic spirit of the world; what he saw was her looking at the world, taking in the atmosphere of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers; and her arrogance that would never surrender to others and wanted to compete with the sky.

Where is this woman...

All gone, Tang Song's gaze at Mingtang eventually turned into a sigh with a strong historical charm

Under the supervision of the Censor of the Office of the Office, the officials scheduled to stand under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites. After each of them had a garment, they entered the vast Mingtang neatly and orderly.

Before long, just as the first ray of morning light in the sky shone on the golden phoenix at the top of the hall, the sound of bells, drums, rituals and music suddenly started. Then, the emperor Li Xian came to the court surrounded by many eunuchs, surrounded by the carriages of thirty-two people.

Li Xian is not low in size, and can even be called tall in this era. However, after seeing Wu Zetian wearing dragon robe, Tang Song felt awkward when he looked at Li Xian who was standing on the imperial throne.

The root of the awkwardness is that Li Xian's aura is too weak, and this Mingtang is too grand, which makes him feel depressed even. Not to mention using the Mingtang to contrast the aura of the emperor's power in the country, in addition, the dragon robe is also awkward when worn on him.

In short, although Li Xian became the throne in the Mingtang, he really belongs to what the folk saying says - wearing a yellow robe is not like the prince.

After Li Xiansheng sat down in the imperial seat, all officials worshiped the great dance ceremony... In short, after completing a series of rituals aimed at highlighting the concept of divine authority and demonstrating the majesty of the emperor, he finally began to talk about the serious matters.

This time the court meeting has a lot of serious content

1. Change the country name and abolish "Zhou" and "Tang" to return to the Li Tang Dynasty. Change the year name and the Shenlong, and abolish the "Shendu" to Luoyang. When the time is right next spring, the capital will be restored to Chang'an.

Wu Zhao's name was abolished and his posthumously named "Empress Zetian" was buried in Qianling

Responsible for the world, issued a general amnesty edict, and all officials in the world have no internal and external flows, and all the salaries are increased by one level

…………

Tang Song was tired a few days ago, got up too early today, and was really sleepy after standing for so many times. He couldn't help but feel sleepy when listening to these routine articles, but the imperial censor who impeached all officials could not doze off blatantly. This situation of not sleeping really makes people feel uncomfortable.

It was not until the end of the matter of reward that the first person who freed him from the sea of ​​suffering was Princess Taiping. Because he was already a first-class princess, there was no way to seal it on it, so the first reward was to add the "Zhenguo" number, which is one plus. Since then, Taiping has become "Zhenguo Taiping Princess"

Hearing this, Tang Song shook his head, it was not so smart, this "country-controlling" name OnePlus is like opening a hole to participate in the government. This time, her ambition became more and more firm, and she searched for party members to cultivate power and fewer concerns.

Although it seems to be just a false name for "suppressing the country", it abolished the ban on "no interference in politics" set by Wu Zetian for Taiping. The impact is far-reaching and difficult to estimate in detail.

In addition, there are many rewards for Taiping, such as the re-repair of the Chang'an Princess Mansion, the reward of money, cloth, etc., these things are meaningless to Taiping, so I won't say more.

The first title of Li Xian’s brother, Li Dan, was to add the title of “Anguo”, and since then Li Dan has become the “Prince of Anguo”.

Hearing this, Tang Song felt something interesting. Li Dan was a person who was scared by Wu Zetian. He hid in the mansion every day and did not come out. He said that he was a turtle with his head, which was not too much. How could such a person participate in the matter of serving the king? He received this great reward without any merit... As he thought about it, Tang Song turned his attention to Di Renjie, who was at the forefront of Mingtang.

After a moment, Tang Song, who had realized it in his heart, smiled gently, Di Gong, you have taken great pains to make the Li Tang Dynasty.

After Taiping and Li Dan finished the reward, the most noteworthy recipient of the reward was Di Renjie himself. It is not surprising to be granted the title of "Duke of Liang" itself, but the title of "Liang" is enough to reflect his current status in the court.

In the nearly a hundred years since the Li Tang Dynasty decided to the tripod, besides Di Renjie, the only famous prime minister Fang Xuanling, who was the first generation of Zhenguan, was the mastermind of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, that is, the so-called chief planner of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the descendant of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne. When rewarding merits and practices, he compared it to Xiao He of the Han Dynasty.

The Xuanwu Gate Incident is very different from the palace transformation this time, but it also has many similarities. For example, the result is that two heirs who were not recognized eventually become emperors, such as Liang Guogong, who is the same as Di Renjie.

Is this a coincidence? Maybe it is, or maybe it is not

But no matter what, it was something that Tang Song was happy to see when Di Renjie became the Duke of Liang. With him, he could at least temporarily curb the ambitions of Concubine Wei and Taiping. Although it was inevitable, it would not easily break the situation.

Di Renjie naturally gave this reward, and his resignation was indeed very sincere. At least Tang Song could see that he was sincere, but with his current status, if he was not rewarded, how could he do it later? So after the emperor comforted the emperor and the ministers invited him, he didn't say anything else.

Not long after that, Tang Song finally heard his name

At this time, the eyes of many officials in the Mingtang gathered on the young man who walked out of the shift and stood in the middle of the Mingtang.

Tang Song lowered his head slightly, his face was neither too nervous nor too loose, and he stood tall and handsome, and he had a calm and composed life from his actual age.

At this age, appearance, demeanor, and his reputation as a scholar in the world... At this time, it was finally difficult for all officials in the Mingtang to be quiet. There were too many people talking and sighing, and there was a small noise.

As he was talking, Tang Song's background of unmarried couples was suddenly magnified infinitely

In the buzzing sound, Tang Song had become the first rich son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty outside the royal family. Although the occasion of Mingtang is really inappropriate, there are indeed many people in the team of officials who look at Tang Song with their eyes shining. Behind each pair of bright eyes, there are at least one or more of a few girls of the appropriate age.

There has always been a "bad custom" of robbing Jinshi as a son-in-law after the scientific examination was released. There have been many cases in which two families were beaten to rob their son-in-law. At that time, people commonly called "catching son-in-law under the list". An ordinary Jinshi is worth robbing, let alone a diamond-level unmarried man like Tang Song.

The rebuke of the palace censor could no longer be suppressed by such a large area of ​​noise, so he finally asked the Jingdian whip to come out. With the explosion of the Jingdian whip, the Mingtang finally calmed down.

At this point, Tang Song's reward was finally confirmed

Tang Song was named the mother of the founding marquis of the third rank, and his wife was the county wife. He was allowed to set up concubines with six concubines, and he was appointed a thousand households with a fief of seven. He was appointed three hundred households with a food in Xiangyang Prefecture.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were regulations on titles. All the Dukes below must be added with the words "founding the country". Therefore, the mothers of the founding marquis below the first rank and above the third rank and noble wife are county wives. As for what kind of treatment they are allowed to enjoy when entering the palace regularly to visit the queen and other inner women every year, it depends on their husbands. The official rank of the son is like Tang Song and the third rank, so her mother and wife are third rank county wives. In addition, the title of founding marquis is allowed to be appointed by the court. The court is the seventh rank of the outer women.

This does not mean that the third-rank marquis can only take six concubines. It means that no matter how many concubines you take, the court only gives these six quotas from the seventh-rank quota. How to discuss it with your own family

Although the court stipulated that the founding marquis of the third rank of the country had a fief of thousands of households, this was just a statement and was false. The following sentence: Xiangyang Prefecture's 300 households were actually a fief of three hundred households. This does not mean that these three hundred households belonged to Tang Song, but the income from rent and tax paid to the court every year belonged to Tang Song, and the Ministry of Revenue transferred him to the court every year in the form of salary.

Because Tang Song's fief was in Xiangyang, the word Xiangyang needed to be added to the full name of his marquis.

As a result, Tang Song, the founding Marquis of Xiangyang County, was the youngest young marquis who was named a marquis for his merits, and was officially released.

The contents of the grand dynasty meeting were not good, but they were not allowed to leave after the dynasty was dispersed, because the emperor wanted to give a banquet to all the ministers.

Tang Song was really tired, and was not patient with the scene of so many people making trouble for drinking, so he found He Zhizhang, an official from the Ministry of Rites who was transferred here, left an excuse to take his leave first due to illness and then left the palace and returned home.

What he didn't know was that just before he left, a very smart and beautiful palace maid came to the place where the banquet was given, and asked Tang Song about the palace maids who served here. After learning that he had left, the palace maid could only helplessly go to those palace maids who had seen Tang Song, and ask about all the information about him, appearance, style, conversation, etc., even if it was a small amount of information, they would not let go, and remember them all carefully.

Let’s talk about Tang Song entering the yard area. He saw that the doorstep was very noisy from afar. The more he walked forward, the more people there were around him. When he arrived in front of the door, he was already in a mess and almost couldn’t squeeze in.

What's wrong with this?

Tang Song hurriedly squeezed onto the steps in front of the door and first saw a tall table covered with red brocade. On the high table was a red paint tray, and the dazzling eyes of the things on the tray were

The third-rank marquis' uniforms are ivory that only officials and powerful officials above the third-rank are qualified to use. The imperial court gave golden beetles with the third-rank rank or above the standard... In short, the entire set of the marquis's clothes are neatly placed in this red paint tray, and they receive the gaze of countless envious eyes.

Four minor officials from the Ministry of Rites in festive costumes stood on both sides of Gaoji, followed by a few tutors holding gongs and drums.

After all, it was time to come to Tang. When Tang Song saw this scene, he understood that this was another way to make money for the minor officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Any foreign minister who has the title of honor and reward merit will inevitably pass through the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites who are in charge will take over the errands of good news. From sending the good news first to sending the various things that come after you, you will definitely make it bright and beautiful for you, and you will know the distance and distance.

From the scientific examination results to the award of titles and rewards, this is a major event in life for the parties and their families. Now the officials of the Ministry of Rites have made you so happy and grand. How can the host give you a big red envelope without getting a thick red envelope?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites like this earned a lot of money and the owner gave them willingly. If the two are combined, they will be happy.

Once neighbors encounter such a thing, they are happy to join in the fun. First, they are happy to be happy and try their luck to see if they can get a few more money for the news.

Anyone who wants to do such a thing must be aware of the happy master in advance. As soon as Tang Songfang climbed the steps, he was immediately recognized by the minor official of the Ministry of Rites who was eating tea, wine, snacks and fruits.

A beautiful and impeccable salute, a clear voice that could be heard halfway through the street was called out, and in an instant, Tang Song once again became the focus of attention.

Just at this moment, firecrackers were ringing and gongs and drums were roaring. The atmosphere at Tang Song's doorstep was so lively that it was about to explode.

This was too vulgar. Tang Song wailed in his heart, but he had to smile on his face, and bowed his hands to congratulate him. In fact, the neighbors who were joining in the fun thanked him.

At this moment, Tang Daren, who had just been closed, had a burst of clothes in the main gate of Tang Mansion, walked out surrounded by Liu Shang and others, and bowed his hand to thank Tang Song side by side.

After a festive gong and drum guy beat the festive drum guy, the father and son put down their hands, and then Tang Song personally walked into the mansion from the main entrance.

After him, the housekeeper Liu Shang personally led the minor officials of the Ministry of Rites to serve tea in the middle. The people who held gongs and drums could not enter the mansion at this time. They would later give the Xi family a break and help the Xi family.

Just as Tang Song was about to relax, he heard a neat voice of "Congratulations to the Lord" looking up, but he saw that all the servants of the mansion were gathered in the courtyard where he entered, standing neatly on both sides, and he was saluting him.

The smile on his face continued to tighten, and he bowed the past to "joy together, happy together". After going up the steps and entering the main house, he was not allowed to relax. The hired accountants followed him all the way and asked how to handle this grand celebration? What rituals should be performed? It is better to prepare for money and food in advance.

Upon hearing the question, Tang Song waved his hand immediately, "No, everything is spared..."
To be continued...
