In the morning court, the famous officials and generals of the early Great Tang were gathered. Most of them were legendary figures whose names would be passed down through the ages.
Because it was only the first year of Zhenguan, most of the founding heroes of the Tang Empire were still alive and in Chang 'an.
It would be a pity if these legendary figures gradually passed away as time passed.
"You two old fellows actually didn't come to participate in the morning court yesterday. This doesn't seem like your character! What did you do yesterday?"
Cheng Yaojin grabbed Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian before the morning court session even started.
The other civil and military officials also gathered around and looked curiously at Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian.
Although there were factions among the officials. But at the very least, the Great Tang was still divided into factions. Although it was a little scary, it was not as scary as the TV series.
After all, just thinking about it, Zhangsun Wuji and the other founding heroes had fought together along the way. They had witnessed so many life-and-death crises together, how could they not have brotherly love?
Therefore, even if they made a big fuss on weekdays. However, if anyone was about to die, then needless to say, the first to arrive would definitely be his old brothers.
"That's right, that's right. You have to know that the two of you have never missed the morning court session. Even I, Yuchi Gong, was impeached by you for a few days because I overslept and missed the morning assembly.”
Yuchi Gong said this, and everyone laughed. Daily bickering was a common occurrence in the Great Tang Imperial Court.
If he didn't see it every day, it wouldn't look like the Great Tang Imperial Court.
Zhangsun Wuji was helpless. However, he was still far from being able to bicker with these vulgar martial artists.
"Yesterday, the two of us were ordered to do something.”
Gao Shilian smiled and tried to smooth things over. Gao Shilian was one of the most esteemed figures among the founding fathers of the Great Tang.
After all, not only was he older, but he was also a relative of the Great Tang, so his status was naturally extraordinary.
Under normal circumstances, he was a peacemaker in the court. If there was a dispute between the officials, Gao Shilian would mediate it.
It was also because of this that Gao Shilian was very popular. Both civil officials and generals would give Gao Shilian face.
"Alright, it's changed. The Bell and Drum Tower is open.”
Qin Qiong said, ending everyone's conversation. Then, the officials entered the Bell and Drum Tower according to their positions.
Then, under the supervision of the censor, he stood under the bell and drum tower and waited.
These imperial censors and remonstrants stood on both sides of the railings on the upper level of Longwei Road, supervising the court meeting.
As the hour arrived, the bell in the Bell and Drum Tower rang. Then, the door of Hanyuan Palace was pushed open with a creak. The officials then entered Hanyuan Palace.
When all the officials had arrived, a eunuch standing on the steps below the throne shouted.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Then, Li Shi Min walked into Han Yuan Palace with a majestic gait!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
All the officials stood up and bowed to Li Shimin. In the Great Tang, kneeling was not allowed, and no one would shout 'long live' in front of the Emperor.
Those were all created in the Qing Dynasty. In the Great Tang, there were not so many fancy things.
After all, a man's knees had gold. This saying was not false.
Li Shiming nodded, but when he saw Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Looking at their expressions, they naturally understood each other as they had fought together all year round. It seemed that the matter of the cotton-padded jacket was indeed true.
"Dear ministers, please take your seats."
After Li Shi Min sat on the throne, he waved at the officials. After that, all the civil and military officials returned to their respective seats and sat cross-legged on the soft seats.
The morning court of the Great Tang was not like the ones seen on television in the later generations, where all the officials stood on both sides to listen to the Emperor's teachings. Just thinking about it would make one understand! The morning court session would probably last from dawn to noon.
Standing for such a long time, once or twice was fine, but if it was like this on a daily basis, who could bear it?
Of course, there was an exception to the unreasonable system of the later Qing Dynasty.
"My two beloved ministers, is there any result on the matter that I instructed you to do?”
As soon as he sat down, Li Shiming couldn't help but ask. He didn't sleep last night because he was looking forward to the results of the two of them. If everything was as Zhangsun Chong had said.
To the Great Tang, this was simply good news! The Great Tang had just been plundered by the Turks, and it was now a complete mess.
If cotton-padded clothes were really that magical, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for the people of the world! As long as they could survive this year's winter, they would definitely have a way to help the Great Tang out of its predicament next year.
Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian looked at each other. Gao Shilian nodded at Zhangsun Wuji, indicating for him to speak.
Zhangsun Wuji immediately stood up and carefully took out a piece of paper. Zhangsun Yu had personally written the contents of the letter.
It recorded the cotton and cotton-padded clothes in detail. And the manpower and resources he needed to spread the knowledge of the Great Tang.
"Your Majesty, all the records about the cotton clothes are in there. This was written by the creator of cotton-padded clothes, Zhangsun Yu of the Chen Family Village.”
