A court meeting came to an abrupt end in an inexplicable accident, and the emperor only announced the cabinet and the six ministries and the two imperial history deliberations, which made everyone suspicious.

You must know that usually in this kind of court meeting, in addition to the above-mentioned people, there should also be various departments to give the matter, the servants of each ministry and several top-level nobles, and the Hanlin Academy and the pavilion to participate. This is what is often said to be the discussion of the Imperial Dry and Qing Gates.

However, this time, it is a bit strange that most of the regular politicians have been abandoned. And keen people have found that in this combination, if the speaker is completely excluded, this is even more thought-provoking.

Although the imperial history of the two capitals is also the function of impeachment, those who really know the inside story understand that those two will never rush forward when they are unaware of the situation. In fact, the impeachment initiated in the past is to be led by some low-priced ones, and when the fermentation is almost over, it takes a blow to the bottom before these real predators will emerge.

Therefore, the message of the current lineup is clear: the emperor does not want to hear noise, and needs a quiet environment.

As for the Wuxun group, it was also excluded, well, in fact, although the Ming Dynasty was not as civil and military as the Song Dynasty, it was also a pattern of civilian officials ruling the world. Generally, when the court is discussing, the Wuxun Group only plays the role of a background board most of the time. Unless it comes to the use of foreign troops, they will have a say.

Yes, although the British princess was also a little surprised, they were just surprised, but they didn't have any other ideas. It wasn't until a few people went out of the palace gate and saw the juniors of the various families who were waiting anxiously outside that they finally came to their senses.

Not to mention the trance after Wu Xun's side, just talk about the ministers who were summoned to the meeting.

First of all, Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, approached Liu Jian anxiously, and said in a low voice: "Xixian, now that the return of the mission is imminent, the Mongolian princess is coming on behalf of Dayan, and the court is suspended at this time, so how to arrange the reception? This is related to the importance of peace and war between the two countries, and it cannot be ignored." ”

Liu Jian didn't stop walking, only paused slightly when he heard the words, and then said indifferently: "It's okay, the mission has traveled thousands of miles, and the Mongolian princess must have been tired all the way, but let people go to the post house to rest first, and I will summon you on another day." This is also in line with etiquette, and Liang Dayan can't say anything. ”

Xu Qiong was stunned for a moment, so she had to nod with a wry smile and sigh. Outside the city, there was a big posture to greet him, and now there was such a big turning point, which was like a tiger's tail. Liu Jian's method is indeed unspeakable, but the Ministry of Rites is afraid that it will be criticized and ridiculed. It's just that the current form is treacherous, no matter how unwilling he is, he has to follow this charter, but he can't care about any face.

Fortunately, he is now old, and he already has the heart to resign, as long as there are no major mistakes in the remaining time, he will be meritorious, and he will not bother to fight for anything.

The rest of the people saw that the matter of connecting the Mongolian princess was pushed, and after glancing at each other, they all put away their thoughts and made up their minds to just watch from the wall. In the next discussion, no one can be sure what the situation is, at this moment, it is better to be silent than to say anything.

The front has reached the side hall, and everyone has their own thoughts and fishes. In the hall, I saw that Emperor Hongzhi did not sit down, but stood in front of the window with his hands down, his face was as heavy as water, and his face was contemplative.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Under the leadership of Liu Jian, everyone bowed down one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi in front of the window turned around, raised his hand and waved, and said indifferently: "It's all free, I don't know what I said, there are really a few people who are the same." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and they froze there on the spot. The emperor was obviously so angry in his heart that he even came out with such heart-damaging words. God, is this going to be a big deal? Mita Buddha, let's be careful.

Everyone was worried in their hearts, but Liu Jian, a scholar, raised his head violently, and Huo Ran said in a deep and proud manner: "Your Majesty, please be cautious! Such a loss of speech, the ministers will not dare to bear it! If a minister is really guilty, and there is a law of his own country, how can there be a reason for the monarch to speak ill of each other? I also ask Your Majesty to retract Fang Cai's words. As he spoke, he couldn't afford to hold it for a long time.

On the left and right, Yu Shi Min Jue and Yu Zhong glanced at each other, and they also stepped forward and made peace in unison. Immediately, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Tu Tu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, also bowed down one after another.

Only Zhou Jing, the secretary of the household department, and Bai Ang, the secretary of the criminal department, hesitated to look left and right, but did not react for a while, and stood alone in place without moving.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was gloomy, his eyes swept over everyone, and he laughed angrily. Turning around and striding to the imperial case, the detective picked up a note from the table, slammed it down, and laughed angrily: "Don't dare? What else do you dare not dare? Is this what you call not daring? ”

Liu Jian and the others saw it clearly, this note should be the one that was in the main hall before, which made the emperor suddenly leave the court in anger.

Du Fu, who was standing next to him, sighed secretly, and glanced at the little eunuch standing on the side, and the little eunuch stepped forward, picked up the note, and respectfully presented it to Liu Jian.

The emperor can be angry, he can give Liu Jian a face, but he can't really humiliate him. And Du Fu himself, as the head of the inner house, can be regarded as the emperor's endorsement at certain moments, so he can't move.

But with Liu Jian's identity and qualifications, naturally he can't really let him bend over, which is equivalent to a slap in the face. In this case, will he still have the face of the head of the court? Once today's events are spread, if nothing else, when he issues another decree, he will be more or less embarrassed. And how important is the decree issued every time? Even the slightest deviation can sometimes lead to unpredictable changes. That's what the so-called mistake is a thousand miles.

Therefore, having such a small eunuch seems to be snatching it out, but it is actually the most appropriate move. not only maintained the majesty of the emperor, but also preserved the face of Liu Jian Shoufu.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi only snorted lightly when he saw this scene, and did not say anything special. And Liu Jian nodded at the little eunuch, glanced at Du Fu again, and a sense of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he looked down at the paper.

Just at a glance, his eyes shrank suddenly, and his face finally became solemn. After a moment of silence, he came to his senses and passed the note to the people around him to look at it one by one.

"Ahh......h

"This ...... What is he going to do?"

"How is that possible?!"

"Li Bin has always been calm and resourceful, and there must be a reason for this move......"

When everyone read the note one by one, they suddenly screamed one after another. For a while, there was a lot of gossip and everything.

There were surprises, some anger, and some unbelievers, all of whom were shocked by the news and lost their normality.

There was only one sentence on the note: Li Ge Lao went out of the city in person, dressed in purple and red, and greeted him.

There is no need to ask about this note, it was naturally sent by the Jinyi Wei scouts. The best place in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not to mention this kind of public place, is the home of the ministers, there are brocade guards to visit. This is known to everyone, and it is also a tacit understanding shared by the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

In today's scene, Li Dongyang, as the second assistant of the dignified cabinet, suddenly appeared outside the city to greet him, and he was almost immediately detected by the Jinyi Guard, and even in the shortest possible time, it reached the emperor's eyes. This speed is much faster than Zhang Yue and others who found out and then reported it.

A dignified cabinet scholar and the second assistant of the dynasty actually lowered his body to welcome the outside of the city, which is tantamount to releasing a super-large satellite.

Whether it is the return of the envoy or the visit of the Mongolian princess, it is natural that there must be a certain welcome procedure, which is the proper meaning of the question.

However, there are also regulations for the specifications of this kind of welcome. Falling below this regulation is laziness, which often reflects certain wind directions in the DPRK and China. Generally speaking, it is deliberately revealed after certain games.

However, if it is higher than this regulation, it is a situation that has never been seen in all dynasties. Unless there is some special event, such as making a great contribution to the imperial court to expand the territory, or making a great contribution to the national fortunes, the emperor and all the ministers agree that it is necessary to show their merit by breaking the rules and regulations. And in that case, most of them were the emperor himself or the prince or the prince's representative.

However, it is unheard of to receive this kind of leadership as an important minister. Not to mention, Li Dongyang's move obviously did not go through the court's discussion, let alone the emperor's will. Then, the meaning of his action in doing this is intriguing.

Of course, if you want to say that people have a good personal relationship, what's wrong with volunteering to pick up friends. Hehe, the private relationship is good, of course it's okay to voluntarily pick it up. But since it's a personal relationship, then you shouldn't wear an official uniform.

The official uniform is by no means comparable to the uniforms of later generations. It must be worn on a fixed occasion. In ancient times, etiquette was strict, and there were extremely strict regulations on clothing, food, housing, and transportation. If it is not of a certain level or a certain social status, if it is touched, it is the sin of transgression.

The sin of transgression is enough to lose your head!

And Li Dongyang appeared in front of the team outside the city in official uniform at this moment, so if it was clear to everyone, he represented not only himself, but also the cabinet assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty and a scholar of the dynasty!

This is already a proper overdistance!

With Li Dongyang's identity and fame, the effect caused by such a practice can be imagined with your toes, how huge it will be. How can you blame Emperor Hongzhi for having such a big temper?

Li Dongyang's move can be interpreted as a wanton venting, or it can be interpreted as a confrontation with the emperor, a slap in the face!

As for why, hehe, who of the people present didn't know the dirty relationship between the Li family and Su Mo? And who didn't know how dissatisfied Li Dongyang was with the emperor's recent almost indulgent favor to Su Mo?

Then, what Li Dongyang did today makes sense. It's just that it makes sense, but the hidden meaning behind this has to make everyone's hearts tremble. What is this? This is clearly a positive and hard fight between the prime minister and the imperial power!

The storm will rise!
