Chapter 217 Yuanzheng

"The year is over as the night goes by, and early spring is coming." The old year has passed, and the new year has arrived again.

"Children are not familiar with things, and sing until dawn." Although there are more and more sensible children in the Yang family, it is even more lively. Now they have not only rested after eating dumplings, but have been performing their own specialty programs after the adults have gone to rest. At this time, they no longer need anyone to watch it, but are entertaining themselves. Some children are even playing games, which is exactly the same as the previous poem.

But Yang Heng was not in such a mood to have fun with them, because Li Er had already informed Yang Heng that he would follow him on Yuanzheng's day. The saying was that Yang Heng had the word "Yang Heng" at this time, and that was an adult, so he naturally had to take some responsibility. Although there was no serious business in this heaven, it was just a New Year celebration, but Yang Heng also needed to get familiar with him, right? He also needed to let some foreign envoys formally know Yang Heng. The transaction of glass still required Yang Heng to negotiate with these envoys. In fact, this was also what Yang Heng proposed to Li Er. Foreigners would not make money in vain, and foreigners would earn more money. When the secret of the glass was really made public, Yang Heng would have an excuse to explain to those who bought his glass.

What is the price for foreigners? It is more than three times the domestic price, otherwise you should not buy it. Yang Heng's pricing in this regard is very decisive. He likes the matter of face, both domestic and foreign. If the price is low, maybe they won't buy it, and it will be difficult for them to buy even at a high price. Is this very face-saving?

Just like Li Er. For the sake of face, someone pays you a tribute to an iron needle, and you insist on giving someone a golden needle. This is the same truth. Face will kill people.

Several countries will compete for the amount of glass they purchased. You should know that at this time, Yang Heng had already shouted out the slogans of publicity, such as the gods and the gifts of gods. If you don’t buy it, it would seem too priceless. Even if you buy it less, it would be reduced. For some domestic customers, Yang Heng also adopted a purchase restriction method, that is, officials can only buy the amount of glass needed by the main hall according to the grade level. In other places, they would be embarrassed to not sell it. In fact, Yang Heng just wanted to have less trouble in the future. If this secret is opened, the two-party products will have a hard time.

But if Yang Heng sells these glasses to foreign envoys at a high price, it will make the domestic officials feel better. If these envoys complain, these officials may expose their anger to them, and perhaps use this anger to expand the territory of the imperial court.

"A colorful clouds welcome the dawn, and thousands of red candles move the spring." The early morning of the first day of the first lunar month has arrived. Today is a good day and a sunny day. Perhaps God knows that Yang Heng is attending the court meeting for the first time today, so it is rare to release a sunny day on Yuanzheng's day. There is a morning glow, which is in line with this situation. A morning glow welcomes the dawn.

But although there was morning glow at this time, the streets were very dark, so there was a poem about the spring that was circulating, and the officials were carrying red lanterns to the main hall of the Chaohui.

In fact, there is no need for lighting in the glow of the sunset at this time, but this is a lively festival, a festive festival, and there are still red candles and red lanterns, so the name of the Fire City in Chang'an remains.

How did the reputation of Fire City come about? Naturally, it was because officials had such a reputation when they went to court. After the fifth day of the morning, officials had to go to court. The fifth day of the morning is between 3:00 and 5:00. This time is still at night in any season, so when officials go to court, they can only go to court with lanterns. The daily court meeting requires officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an to attend court. Therefore, the lights at this time will make the entire Chang'an City a sea of ​​fire, which is why it is named Fire City.

Why is there a morning glow today? It’s just that the court meeting is later than usual. There is no major event in attending court, just for congratulations. Moreover, today, officials from other places who come to Beijing also have to attend court, so it will be later. In addition, officials have been admitted for a night, especially those older officials. If you don’t let them take a break, this is a good day, or a day to kill them.

"Boy, come here." Although Yang Heng has been to the palace for the first time, he has not been included in the ranks for the first time, right? After this arrival, he stood there looking around. Where should he stand? How could he not use his eyes? How could there be so many ministers? It seems that there are many civil servants in the Tang Dynasty. Where is that general and where is the general?

Just as Yang Hengdong looked around, Cheng Yaojing called him. "You are from the fourth-rank Wusan official, and you are not low. You can stand behind me." Then, Cheng Yaojing pulled Yang Heng behind him, and Yang Heng looked around and said, "Although this old fairy is of high level, it seems that it is not his turn to stand too far in front, or Li Er doesn't want to see him, and he is standing in the middle, no one cares about him. How did Yang Heng know? It can be seen from the color of the costume that the Tang Dynasty stipulates that officials above the third rank are in purple.

Officials above the fifth rank are in a fro, and Yang Heng is considered to be above the fifth rank. Naturally, they wear crimson official uniforms to court. Cheng Yaoxian is naturally wearing purple official uniforms, but there are several people wearing crimson official uniforms around him, which naturally means that he has not stood at his position. The officials who attended court today are all wearing dresses, so the same is true for these generals. Yang Heng is the reason why he can't find the position. If it is in normal times, he will find the position, because the generals will wear armor to court, so it would be easy to find it.

"The great country's rituals and music are prepared, and all nations are in charge of the Yuanzheng." After all the civil and military officials stood at the seat, the envoys of all countries also came to the hall, and they were wearing various costumes to the hall. Yang Heng stared at them closely to see which of them were fake envoys. It is said that in this era, there would be many fake envoys to come to Chang'an to deceive Li Er's rewards, but Yang Heng finally gave up. If they wanted to see the true or false from their appearance, it would be impossible to tell. However, Yang Heng must have faked them. Otherwise, how could there be so many envoys from the country? But even though they were fake, Li Er did not want to provoke them. You should know that this shows his reputation as a conquering the world. If there were two or three envoys at today's court meeting, wouldn't it be too shameful for Li Er, the emperor who wanted face!

... "I wish Your Majesty good, longevity and good health..." The court meeting began. The main purpose of today is to flatter Li Er. How can you be happy? Today, the censors will not be disgraceful. They will give Li Er any advice, otherwise they will be bored.

"Learn from the front, come to learn literature." "Ah, yes, your Majesty, call me." Yang Heng was distracted at the court meeting. After Cheng Fei poked him, he realized that Li Er was calling him. Why did he have any trouble with him?

"Dear your family, this is my beloved Xu Yang Xuewen. From today on, Xuewen will officially attend the court meeting. I will officially introduce him to you here." What does it mean? Li Er said, this is my favorite prince consort. Don't cause trouble for him. Today I will let him show up in front of you. If there are people targeting him in the future, I will be polite.

It can be seen how much Li Er valued Yang Heng at this time. Even introducing such things at the court meeting. Even the Fairy Cheng was shocked. Why did this kid fall into the eyes of His Majesty? His princess has a lot of him, so why did he like this kid? It seems that such a thing has never happened before. But it happened to Yang Heng.

At this time, the military officers couldn't understand it, but the civil servants didn't care, because Yang Heng had no excessive interactions with civil servants, and he was just a little bit of affair with Changsun Wuji. But will he care about other people's affairs? It naturally has nothing to do with others.
