"Thump, thump, thump!"
In ancient times, the morning court was known as the court meeting. It was the most important political activity for officials in the capital.
The morning court session in the Tang Dynasty was around seven o'clock.
The summer sun rose very quickly. After dozens of officials waited for a long time under the sun, the gates of Taiji Palace were slowly opened by the palace servants.
"Fellow colleagues, come with me to meet the Saint!”
The civil and military officials were led by two prime ministers. Fang Xuanling had a goatee and a round face. He calmly waved the jade board in his hand and said in a low voice before taking the lead.
Du He mixed in with the crowd and slowly entered Taiji Palace.
When they arrived at the main hall, Du He felt that something was wrong.
As a censor, he should stand among the civil officials. However, what made Du He depressed was that the civil officials wearing the Xiezhi crown in the queue did not give him the slightest chance to join. He could vaguely feel that these censors were rejecting him together.
When he looked at the army of generals, he saw that they were all holding jade boards in their hands. They were all looking down at him, not looking in his direction at all. Only a burly, round-faced man with a full beard was looking at him with an interested smile.
Seeing Du He's gaze, the burly round-faced man grinned and silently pointed at Wei Zheng.
"I see."
Du He instantly understood the reason. So all of this was Wei Zheng's doing.
However, it was no wonder. Du He pursed her lips. The current Wei Zheng was an Imperial Censor and managed a group of people under him. At this time, because of his connections with the dignitaries, a young man had snuck in. Wei Zheng had a clear heart and was an official. It would be strange if he did not feel disgusted.
However, it was a little too much to use him as an example.
A kind smile appeared on Du He's face as he looked at Wei Zheng with a meaningful gaze. If he had planned to ask Wei Zheng a little on the road outside the hall just now, he had decided not to hold back because of this matter.
"Your Majesty has arrived-"
Suddenly, a sharp sound rang out.
Then, a steady footstep sounded in the silent hall.
Du He looked up slightly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a loose yellow robe and a black hat. He walked to the dragon throne with a calm expression and slowly sat down.
This is Li Er. Du He secretly clicked her tongue.
Li Er had a square face. Although he was only thirty-two years old, his face was well-defined and he had a dignified demeanor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
All the civil and military officials in the court bowed and said in a loud voice.
The Tang Dynasty did not have a kneeling ceremony. When they saw Shangguan, they would mainly bow with their hands folded in front of them, and it was no exception when facing the emperor.
"Dear ministers, please rise."
A smile appeared on Li Er's face. He looked at the memorials on the dragon table and gently tapped his fingers. He asked in a calm tone,"Today, does any of the beloved ministers want to report?”
All the officials in the court held their jade boards and lowered their heads without saying a word.
This was a rule of the imperial court. It was to wait for Li Er to finish speaking about important matters before the officials opened their mouths to report.
But the problem was that Du He did not know this rule.
Du He coughed lightly. Dressed in a crimson official robe and holding a jade board, she walked out from the back of the civil officials. Her distinctive young voice said loudly,"Censor Du He of the Imperial Censorate has something to discuss!!”
Hmm? Du He? Du Ruhui's second son?
Li Er raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man with interest. This was the talent that Du Ruhui had dragged his body to see him and kept recommending? Wasn't he too ignorant of the rules of the imperial court?
Without waiting for Li Er to speak, Wei Zheng was already furious. He walked out of the civil officials 'ranks and stood under the dragon table aggressively. He reprimanded loudly,"Du He, didn't your father tell you the rules of being a minister?”
Du He raised her head and glanced at him. She continued to say to Li Er,"Imperial Censor Du He has two books to discuss!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial court could not help but burst into laughter.
All the officials in the court were amused. Their eyes looked at the young man Du He with interest. Everyone could hear that these two books were going to participate. Other than the first book, they didn't know what it was about. This second book was obviously going to participate in Wei Zheng!
Li Er was also happy. He looked at Du He and then looked at Wei Zheng, who had a dark purple face. He waved his hand to dismiss him. Then, he smiled and patiently said to Du He,"Du He, when your father, Du Ruhui, asked you to attend the morning court session, did he tell you some rules regarding the court? Now is not the time for you to participate in the memorial.”
Du He was silent for a few seconds. A kind smile appeared on her face, and then she continued to speak loudly,"Imperial Censor Du He has three books to consult!!”
Hiss--
Gasps could be heard in Taiji Palace.
Three, three books? All the civil and military officials in the court stared at Du He with their mouths agape. Their heads kept buzzing. They didn't know what the first book was about. The second book was only about the memorial because Wei Zheng had spoken. Now that the Emperor had spoken to dissuade them, the third book was out.
Could it be that Du He wanted to go against the emperor?!
