The Huang Zi Gongqing who were clamoring for escort outside the Genting Heavenly Palace never expected that the door of the Genting Heavenly Palace would open like this.

Many people who had left the door to show their loyalty, in such a defenseless situation, were squeezed into the Genting Heavenly Palace by the crowd surging up from behind.

Huang Jingming was the closest to the door, so he was naturally the first to be squeezed into the main hall, and he didn't know who pushed him from behind, so he fell straight into the main hall and fell out very far.

The people who poured in the hall were a team, and Huang Jingming was alone and in a team.

Huang Jingming, who was lying on the cold floor, had not raised his head yet, and the cold sweat on his body had already soaked his official uniform.

What is the duty of a courtier, what is the rule of eating the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king, he also knows that with the ability of Zhou Tianzi, there should be no one who can pose a threat to him in this Great Zhou Empire, what is a little-known Han king?

He shouted for escort, just to take the opportunity to ascend. Zhao Yongye climbed to a big name in the Lingyan Pavilion, got a top armor in the last official performance appraisal, and became a household servant, so he rode on his head to and pee, and did a good job.

Today he heard a loud noise and screams from the Genting Heavenly Palace, and he knew that the opportunity had come. It doesn't matter if Zhou Tianzi needs to escort or not, what matters is an attitude, as long as the attitude is correct, it is not easy to get promoted and make a fortune.

With his little bit of Taoism, let alone escorting Zhou Tianzi, if someone really dares and can enter the Genting Heavenly Palace, he doesn't need Zhou Tianzi to protect him.

The reason why he rushed so forward and shouted so loudly was that he wanted to be familiar with each other in front of the two pavilion elders, it would be better if he could become a protégé of a certain pavilion elder, as for leaving an impression on Zhou Tianzi, it was probably impossible, people like him who were qualified to participate in the meeting but were not qualified to enter the court hall, the number of times he could see Zhou Tianzi was already pitiful, so don't talk about what to remember.

There are many people who think the same way as him, and escorting is not their fundamental purpose. Wanting to get Zhou Tianzi's favor is the ultimate goal.

Huang Jingming quietly glanced back, and Huang Zigongqing, who was huddled together at the door of the quiet hall, did not enter or retreat. Before Zhou Tianzi's order, they didn't even dare to kneel.

Huang Jingming looked at Zhao Yongye, who was sneering at him in the crowd, and his heart was sad.

He just wanted to make a familiar face, but not in this way.

The most perfect in the Great Zhou Dynasty is the law, below the second grade, without the summons of the Son of Heaven, those who trespass into the Genting Heavenly Palace will die.

And he, a five-grade Tobe Langzhong, not only broke in today, but also broke in.

Zhou Tianzi didn't speak, and he didn't dare to get up. The floor was cold, but his heart was even colder.

Zhou Tianzi's fingers gently tapped the armrest of the dragon chair rhythmically, and after a long time, he finally spoke.

"Huang Jingming, a native of Chunhe City, Baling County, and the current Zhengwupin Hubu Langzhong, you are very good. You don't have to participate in this year's official performance appraisal, and the position of the head of the household department is vacant

It's been a while, you can familiarize yourself with it first, and when the people of the two pavilions draw up a specific charter, you can take over!"

Huang Jingming forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, if this was not the Yunding Heavenly Palace, the main hall of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the Red Sleeve Zhai and Tianxianglou in Luoyang City, he must have screamed happily.

Zhou Tianzi continued: "It's cold on the ground, don't lie on your stomach, get up!"

Huang Jingming hurriedly responded and hurriedly got up.

The floor was cold, but his heart was warm.

What is called one step to the sky, this is called one step to the sky.

Huang Jingming, who was already determined to die, stood in the center of the hall, watching the brilliant light of the golden walls around him shine on his five-grade official uniform, and a sense of unreality suddenly arose in his heart.

He was not the only one who felt this way, Zhao Yongye looked down at his hand, whether it was his own single-handedly pushing the political enemy who had been stepped on by himself to the top of his head.

The meaning of Zhou Tianzi's words is already very clear, the original household department Shangshu was dismissed from his official position for inaction in last year's Hongfu Qian Xing, and he has not been used until now. And the position of the head of the household has been idle, and the people of the two pavilions have been worried about this, but Zhou Tianzi has not made a decision for a long time. And Zhou Tianzi's words just now have basically decided on the candidate for the next Hubu Shangshu.

Zhao Yongye swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said that the world is impermanent, but it seems that this officialdom is even more impermanent than the world.

Zhou Tianzi looked at the ministers at the gate of the palace again, and said in a cold voice: "So many people poured into my Heavenly Palace, do they want to rebel?"

As soon as Zhou Tianzi's words fell, a group of people, including Huang Jingming, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said that they didn't dare to dare.

"Don't dare?" Zhou Tianzi sneered and said, "I don't think there is anything you don't dare to do in this Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

The heads of the ministers were pressed even lower.

Zhou Tianzi said in a faint voice: "Get up! ”

......

......

Zhou Tianzi sat on the throne, sitting in the south and facing north, on his left was the Wenchen of the Great Zhou, and on the right was the military generals of the Great Zhou, all of whom stood on both sides according to the size of the officials and the rank and rank.

It was not appropriate to stand on the side of Wenchen, and it was not appropriate to stand on the side of the generals, so Dongluo found an empty place outside the two columns and stood.

Genting Heavenly Palace is so big, there is always a place for him to stand. It just so happened that he also wanted to hear Zhou Tianzi's reasoning.

He still vividly remembers what happened in the winter of the previous year, he saw with his own eyes how the prosperous Weicheng went to the empty city, and he heard with his own ears how Beimang's iron hooves smashed the Yumen Pass and broke through Yunzhong County.

He is not one of those whose families are ruined, and he is not one of those who have been displaced, he is not qualified to ask Zhou Tianzi for an explanation, he just wants to hear Zhou Tianzi's reasoning.

He remembered vividly everyone who had come to say goodbye to him the previous winter, everyone who had drunk in his tavern, everyone who passed by his tavern.

Listening to the sound of their departing horses' hooves, he knew that he was with most of them, friends and friends

It's a passerby, and this farewell is goodbye. In this life, I will never see each other again.

For example, Zhang Doudou, who came to Luoyang with his parents to join his relatives, his childhood friend, that day, under the reflection of the snow, after beating the horse away, it was like a drop of water melted into the sea, and he lost all the news and could no longer be found.

He wanted to ask Zhou Tianzi, since a qualified emperor wants to let all the people in the world live with dignity, then after Beimang's army broke through Loulan, the children of those families and clans in the surrounding army can be transferred for various reasons, and those who have no power can only defend the border, if they take a step back and do not die under the enemy's sword, they will turn around in the hands of their own people.

He didn't dare to imagine that if Li Mu was not the general of Zhenbei in the Great Zhou, then the last line of defense between Luoyang and Beimang seemed to be able to hold it, and if it was held, how many of the 300 soldiers in Weicheng would remain? If they couldn't hold it, how many would be left in the 300 soldiers in Weicheng? Why would they have no reinforcements? Why would they have to wait for death?

Dongluo, who had a blue nose and swollen face, stood in the main hall, quietly thinking about other people's affairs.

Zhou Tianzi took out a white jade plaque, and said in a flat voice: "There is only one purpose for calling everyone to participate in the court meeting today, and it does have a lot to do with the jade plaque in my hand." ”

The hall was quiet, the needles could be heard, and the court officials who were panting like cattle when they walked one or two steps on weekdays didn't dare to take a breath.

Zhou Tianzi continued: "The year before last, the 12th Beimang invaded the northern frontier of our country, first broke through the Great Zhou subordinate state Loulan overnight, and then crossed the Yumen Pass, pointing at Yunzhong County, although the halberd was finally broken in Weicheng, but the damage brought by the war to the people is still fermenting. ”

"At the same time, dozens of countries and sects in southern Xinjiang, Xirong, and Dongdao are attacking our country at the same time, if this matter is not premeditated, it is purely a coincidence, do you believe it? ”

"The Great Zhou State Sect is involved in this matter, and I can understand it. I can understand that there is a family involved in this. But I just don't understand, why are some of you involved in this?"

Dongluo's eyes swept quickly over the faces of the courtiers, but he found that everything was as usual, and Dongluo didn't find a person who changed his face in Zhou Tianzi's words.

Dongluo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, there are no ordinary people who can stand in this hall, they are all old foxes who have become spirits.

Dongluo only watched it for a while and then stopped watching, and he couldn't see anything anyway, so it was better to listen to Zhou Tianzi's reasoning.

As for who among these ministers participated in the military attack of the Great Zhou the year before last, it was none of their business, and they hung it high.

"After a long investigation by the shadow guards, all the charges of those of you who collaborated with the enemy and bought the country have been recorded, and they are all in this jade plate in my hand. And there is only one list in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom. ”

Dongluo found that after Zhou Tianzi mentioned the word shadow guard, the faces of a few of the courtiers finally changed a little. It's just that these changes are only fleeting, and you can't find them if you don't look closely.

Zhou Tianzi continued

"Now that the borders of the Great Zhou Kingdom have been leveled, and the land area has expanded innumerably, I have called you here today not to ask you for the blame, but it is too late for me to thank you! ”

Dongluo secretly scolded himself, and he was really not a person who could talk.

Dongluo suddenly felt a few swollen places on his face, and there was a pain.

Zhou Tianzi crushed the jade plaque in his hand, and rubbed it again, along with the list in it, it turned into ashes and dissipated in the wind.

Zhou Tianzi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, now that the list is gone, you can rest assured, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Chu Qingqiu, who was standing on the side of Zhou Tianzi's dragon chair, said in a somewhat sharp voice: "If there is an aftermath, there is nothing to retreat." ”

The Genting Heavenly Palace was still quiet, and no one had anything to do, and no one had retreated according to their words.

Zhou Tianzi waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing to do, the King of Han and the national teacher will stay, and the rest of the people will retreat from the dynasty!"
