Chapter Thirty-Nine: Three Days of Reflection
The officers and soldiers guarding the city have just gotten up, standing on both sides of the city gate with Hache looking at the passing vendors, the new emperor has been on the throne for three years, and the great secretary of the country has been governed in an orderly manner.
Mu Quan and Li Xian went directly out of the city gate and went east all the way.
On the grand Jinluan Palace, a group of courtiers stood in a solemn and breathless formation in court clothes, before they almost buried the emperor, and the emperor was angry and punished them for not going to the court for seven days. The ministers were terrified, and after seven days of trembling at home, they were afraid that a holy decree would be issued to their own mansion, but fortunately, in the past few days, only Zuo Sima was demoted and expelled from the imperial city.
The ministers knew in their hearts that they were afraid that the matter of Zuo Sima La's gang would be known to the emperor, so they deliberately used Concubine Li's matter to make a big fuss. After Zuo Sima received the holy decree, he immediately flew a pigeon to pass on the letter to other court officials who had been wooed, but it was a pity that everyone was in danger at the head of the bad luck, and where anyone was willing to take the risk to admonish him, they all sent back words of abscuration.
Zuo Sima was so angry that he beat his chest, he was afraid that the previous gold, silver and jewelry would be eaten by dogs! But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no room for loopback, so he has no choice but to admit it.
The emperor's methods are so good, and he planned to take bribes before, and a few officials didn't dare to take action, for fear that what he had done before would be known by the emperor and end up like Zuo Sima.
No, on the first day of the court today, all the ministers seemed to be rushing over, waiting in the court early.
But now that almost half an hour has passed, why hasn't the emperor come yet? Could it be that the previous anger has not subsided?
Thinking like this, they didn't dare to say a word.
Just waiting, the personal eunuch beside the emperor hurriedly walked into the palace, and saw a trace of panic on the faces of the ministers, but he covered it up well.
He glanced at the ministers and said loudly: "The emperor is now angry, let the servants tell the ministers to go home and think about it for three days." ”
The ministers were taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Gonggong Zhuo, is this really the emperor's order?"
Why did they add three more days to the wall for seven days just now, and then the affairs of the DPRK and China piled up, how did they deal with it?
"What? Of course this is the emperor's order, Lord Shangshu, do you still have any doubts?" Xiao Zhuozi looked at Lord Shangshu, who was in the middle of the crowd.
"This ...... Naturally, there is no, since the emperor must have the emperor's reason for such an arrangement, we must not understand the emperor's deep meaning if we don't understand it!"
The ministers nodded one after another and said goodbye one after another. Everyone understands the truth that a companion is like a tiger, since Lord Shangshu has said so, if they chase after it again, I am afraid that they will be furious, and if they really anger the emperor, it will not be good.
After Xiao Zhuozi withdrew from the main hall, he hurriedly ran towards the back garden, his face was full of anxiety, and from today onwards, the eunuch said that the emperor had not gotten up for a long time, and he was afraid that he would miss the time of the court, so he had the courage to push open the door of the emperor's room, but it was good not to look at it, and he almost scared half of his soul away. The bedding on the bed is neat and untouched, and there is no shadow of the emperor in the whole room......
