Linde Hall.

There are four types of court meetings: weekdays, festivals, major court meetings, and grand celebrations.

On weekdays, the small court is held in Liangyi Hall, because Liangyi Hall is closest to the harem, which is a rule set for the convenience of the emperor.

The festival ceremony is in the Linde Hall, located in the middle of several major halls in the court area. The annual ceremony and the visits of foreign envoys will be held in the Tai Chi Hall.

The grand celebration includes the emperor's ascension to the throne, birthday, posthumous establishment, and crown prince. It is usually held in the Mingtang, which was burned by Xue Huaiyi.

On weekdays, there are only fifty or sixty people in the court, almost all important officials of the court. There are thousands of officials in the court, officials of the seventh rank or above in the court, and officials of the prefecture of Shendu. The annual anniversary ceremony and grand celebrations almost cover officials from all over the country and foreign envoys.

Today is a festival ceremony - the Day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Before dawn, the streets of Shendu were shrouded in a misty night.

The sound of horse hooves, carriages, walking and speaking are endless, coming from the crisscrossing streets and alleys, breaking the tranquility before dawn.

Although there were only a thousand ministers participating in the Duanyang Dynasty, tens of thousands of people were busy with this.

When ministers with high status travel, they are always surrounded by others. If they have low status, they are accompanied by a sedan chair and a follower. No one is too shabby if they are qualified to attend the court meeting.

Li Zhaode's travel was even more entourage, and he could cut off the streets.

All the princes and ministers gathered in Linde Hall. According to the rank and the size of their official positions, the civil and military officials stood in three rows in the hall. When they arrived outside the hall, they were divided into dozens of rows, which almost lined up the square in front of the hall, without a single space.

The official's clothes were divided into purple, deep breeze, light breeze, dark green, light green, dark blue, light green, making the entire Linde Hall and the square in front of the hall a sea of ​​colors. It was as if a talented painter had a large pen like a rafter dipped in different paints and applied horizontal bars on the ground. Unlike horizontal bars, these colors would move, make sounds, be vibrant and vital.

"Today is the annual Dragon Boat Festival. I wonder what kind of big event will happen later? I'm so looking forward to it~"

"I heard that the emperor was critically ill a few days ago and moved to Taiping Mansion. Many bad things happened during this period. Today I should summarize it. Those who make mistakes are likely to be punished."

"The King of Wei intends to seize the throne, but he was a harem worshiper and took a lot of blood off. He still cannot afford to be ill, but this is also a good thing, and he can't be punished."

"Do you know who this envoy is? Tell you that his name is Zhang Lin. He was still a man in Ji County at that time. Now he has been promoted to Marquis of Ganglie."

"I wonder if this Ganglie Hou will go to court today, but I want to see his style."

"It shouldn't be true. The harem cannot be correct. This is the ancestral teaching."

"According to news from friends in the hall, a golden chair was added to the front of the dragon chaise, but I don't know who was sitting."

"The golden chair? It is obvious that it should be for Mr. Li. I heard that Mr. Li proposed to generalize the government and ruling the government a few days ago. This time he should get what he wants."

"At that time, because the emperor was critically ill and could not control the situation, this proposal was made. Now that the emperor has recovered, how could he hand over the major policies to others? Don't even think about it?"

"Who is the golden chair on the front of the dragon chaise for whom?"

"Who knows."

"After the court meeting begins, it will be revealed."

While waiting, people whispered to each other, discussed in a different way, and said everything. Because they were all talking in a small range, there was nothing to be taboo.

At this time, Li Zhaode appeared, wearing a silver-green robe, a black hooded hat on his head, a gold and jade belt on his waist, and a faint smile on his face. Under the scorching eyes of everyone, he stepped on the red carpet in the middle of the square, raised his head and stood up, and walked towards the gate of Linde Hall.

Originally, Li Zhaode's figure was a relatively majestic type. Because he had been drained too much blood, even though he showed a strong aura, he still couldn't hide his weak constitution, which made people feel sad. At the same time, his impression of Zhang Lin, the culprit who made Li Ge Lao look like this tragic look, suddenly decreased.

"Good old man!"

"Hello, Master!"

The officials on both sides of the carpet greeted him respectfully, kindly or sympathetically, while Li Zhaode smiled, nodded or waved his hand. His pace did not stop, and he kept moving forward at the speed of the time, climbed the steps in front of the hall and stepped into the gate of the hall.

After entering the hall, while walking forward, Li Zhaode swam his sharp eyes and glanced around the dense crowds on both sides of the hall, immediately bringing everyone in the hall into sight.

The imperial heir Li Dan, the Luling King Li Xian, and the Liang King Wu Sansi were at the forefront, even Princess Taiping was present.

This is Princess Taiping's first time attending a court meeting. It seems that after the Taiping Mansion Incident, the emperor trusted and relied more heavily on Princess Taiping, and there was a tendency to let her participate in the court affairs. But this is nothing! There are many kinds of court affairs, and the importance is different. Princess Taiping only hosted a female examination, which is not important at all. Li Zhaode never regarded Princess Taiping as an opponent.

Wu Chengsi was not in the hall and was not allowed to leave the palace because he was confined and could not leave the palace. Unless there was a special order from the emperor, it was obvious that the emperor did not issue such a special order to Wu Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi's absence is a great thing for Li Zhaode, especially for the approval of the issues he will raise at the court meeting, which is extremely obvious.

Several other princes of the Wu family were there, but they did not stand at the level of the prince, but arranged according to the position they held in court, either in front or behind, left or right. Except for King Wei and King Liang, other princes of the Wu family could not be seen by Li Zhaode and were not qualified to be his opponent.

Ye Yu and Di Guangyuan were also in the hall and were in the forefront. It was in accordance with the customs for senior executives of the East Factory to attend the dynasty meeting.

Despite this, Li Zhaode frowned because the recent clashes were all between Dongchang and his men, and he had a premonition that today's dynasty would be very exciting and the emperor should be prepared. But so what? He was prepared more fully and he had an extremely proactive advantage.

Li Zhaode raised his chin high, stalked to the second row of civil servants, and stood side by side with Zhang Jianzhi and other court masters. The position he stood was not at the forefront because there were several important princes on the scene, but there was no doubt that he was the most important person, or the most powerful person on the scene.

In the main hall alone, nearly three of the people were his confidants, and outside the main hall, there were more people. To a certain extent, he could promote harmony and respond to the situation.

Today he formulated several important topics and was ready to raise them in court. With the support of so many close friends, he believed that even if the emperor was unhappy, he would have to follow them.

After these topics are approved, his prestige will inevitably be higher. Thinking of this, he thrust his back, looked down on his eyes, and stood proudly. Waiting for the arrival of the emperor, he could raise his own topics as planned, shocking the audience.

Suddenly, Li Zhaode's eyes were attracted by a golden chair in the hall. This was another chair independent of the dragon chair. It was slightly smaller in size than the dragon chair, and the back and armrests were carved with phoenix heads. It should be called the phoenix chair.

Seeing this phoenix chair, Li Zhaode felt familiar. He squinted his eyes and stared at the phoenix chair. After thinking hard, he thought about it. The phoenix chair was once the one that Wu Zetian sat on the day after that. When she became the empress dowager and became emperor, she sat on the dragon chair and the phoenix chair was abandoned.

Now the phoenix chair has been moved out of the warehouse, wiped with golden light, placed in an extremely conspicuous position in the hall, like a bright smile, looking down at the ministers in the hall.

Why does this phoenix chair appear here?

If the phoenix chair is placed next to the dragon chair, it will be the position of the queen, but there is no queen in the Wu Dynasty.

It is not placed on the side of the dragon chaise, but on a platform between the first and second floors of the imperial stairs. Obviously, the phoenix chair has no relationship with the queen. So what does it mean to place it here?

Li Zhaode couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head and looked at Zhang Jianzhi next to him, with an inquiry in his eyes.

"This is the position of half of the Luanluan." Zhang Jianzhi replied in a low voice.

Half-luan position?

When Li Zhaode heard this, his heart seemed to be hit by something, and he skipped a beat...
