To put it simply, the imperial court was the emperor's court meeting. There were court meetings that focused on etiquette, and there were also court meetings that focused solely on handling government affairs.
The ceremonial court meetings were divided into the Grand Court (on New Year's Day, Wanshou Festival, and Dongzhi Festival, the emperor would go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony) and the Common Court (on five court meetings every month).
The court meetings that dealt with government affairs included the Imperial Court, the Emperor's Inner Court, and the reception of various officials and military ministers.
In her previous life, Yongqi had watched the second type of TV series, the Imperial Court.
Today, he was also attending the Imperial Court Hearing.
The imperial court hearing was a system inherited from the Ming Dynasty, where the emperor discussed the memorials of all officials at Qianqing Gate.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was an early court session for government affairs. The emperor attended court regularly to handle government affairs.
However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the bureaucracy became more and more perfect. The cabinet vote and the approval of the ceremony supervisor gradually became a custom. The emperor's morning court lacked practical significance. This was also the reason why the emperor did not attend the court for decades in the late Ming Dynasty, but the state affairs were still able to operate.
After the Qing Dynasty was established, this system was restored.
In fact, the imperial court hearing was not very important. Generally speaking, it was the emperor's fifth day of court.
Daily government affairs were submitted to the Emperor (Regent) by the various ministries and departments. The Emperor gave his opinions on the spot, and then the officials brought them back to the various agencies to draft decrees for implementation.
It was during the reign of Emperor Kangxi that the imperial court hearing became an important system. Emperor Kangxi was known for his diligence in government.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi began his first hearing at Qianqing Gate on the day he took over the government. He ordered that the sun rise and fall.
From then on, in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the imperial court became a custom.
The imperial court hearing of the Kangxi Dynasty was not only held every day, but also required the officials of each department to make public reports in turn and deal with the "loss" in the "morning court". In addition to the officials of the various departments, middle and lower officials were also recruited to participate in the Imperial Court. The Kangxi Dynasty's "morning court" could be said to be on a large scale.
During the Yongzheng period, due to the rise of the memorial (secret) system, important matters could not be handled in the imperial court.
The status of the officials 'memorials was gradually replaced by secret memorials, so the imperial court hearing gradually became a formality. Although this practice was maintained, Emperor Yongzheng and later Emperor Qianlong did not attend court every day, and there was even no fixed time.
................
As soon as they entered the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs greeted Yongqi, who was passing by.
The news of the fifth prince successfully asking for a job from the emperor had already spread throughout the palace.
Although the official position was only Rank Two, this was not important.
This was a signal.
The Emperor began to consciously nurture the Fifth Prince to be the Crown Prince.
In fact, Yongqi had two competitors before.
One is the eldest brother Aisin Gioro Yong Huang, the third brother Aisin Gioro Yong Zhang
Unfortunately, they all died early.
The remaining Eighth and Eleventh Imperial Sons were far inferior to Yongqi.
Even if someone forced Qianlong to pass the throne, he would not pass the throne to those two.
Emperor Jiaqing would only be born next year.
Qianlong had no choice but to choose Jiaqing. He had lived for too long. When he was tired of sitting on the throne, he realized that only four people could pass the throne. Jiaqing was the taller of the shorter ones.
In fact, if Yongqi did not have the system, as long as he survived, the throne would naturally fall to him.
Yes, it was that simple.
If he survived, the fifth brother Yongqi would simply win while lying down.
The system only wanted him to take over as soon as possible.
Qianlong was the emperor with the longest lifespan in history. Yongqi could not wait that long.
Yongqi found it hard to understand Emperor Yongzheng's feelings during the Kangxi period.
They arrived at Qianqing Sect.
...................
Yong Qi looked at the familiar faces and was very curious.
This was his first time attending court, so he didn't know many of the officials. The surrounding officials gathered together and chatted about their own matters.
Although many people recognized Yongqi, they only bowed slightly. Everyone was very busy.
They were not young enough and did not dare to come over easily.
The older one wanted to see Yongqi's situation first.
Soon, the officials with red flags and those who were familiar with Yongqi's family prepared to lead the way for Yongqi.
However, Yongqi found an official she knew first.。
"Teacher Ji! Teacher Ji!"
The iconic figures of the Qianlong period were, of course, Ji Xiaolan and Heshen.
He Shen was only 10 years old now, so he naturally couldn't be in the imperial court.
But Ji Xiaolan was already 35 years old.
Ji Xiaolan, who was smoking a big pipe, was the easiest to recognize. In her previous life, Yongqi remembered that Ji Xiaolan, who had iron teeth and bronze teeth, had filmed many movies.
When he returned to the Qing Dynasty, he had to get to know the main body.
Ji Xiaolan was smoking happily when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
He turned around and saw a burly young man. He looked familiar, but he didn't seem to know him.
