Because of the expectation in his heart, since sending Yan Jinxuan into the palace, Gu Song has been sitting in the carriage and looking forward to his resignation.

However, Honka looked forward to the sun going down in the morning and didn't see Yan Jinxuan come out of the palace.

The Ministry of Industry is not located in the palace, so it can be seen that Yan Jinxuan has not returned to the Ministry of Industry today.

In late autumn, there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so the climate becomes cooler as soon as the sun sets.

Honka hurriedly put on a coat and put his hands in his sleeves to keep warm.

When he was waiting to be anxious, Honka saw a eunuch coming out of the palace and hurriedly got up to greet him.

The eunuch walked up to Honka and said, "Your master is still in a meeting and will not be able to return until late, so he asked me to come and talk to you." ”

Honka hurriedly saluted him and thanked him: "Okay, thank you, father-in-law!" ”

It seems that he will not be able to make his appointment tonight, Honka said to himself, and drove the carriage to a nearby noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles.

In the Yinghua Palace, the emperor is in a meeting with twenty ministers.

The Three Princes, Yan Yunpei, Yan Jinxuan, Du Chenghuan, Su Zizhao, Liu Chengze and Fu Dapeng are also among them.

Everyone is discussing how to use the system to eradicate the strict party.

"The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" says: If it is difficult to control traitors, swear to die on the side of the king. We can emulate this approach. The third prince said.

"I also agree, but now that the Yan Party is too powerful, if we use the 'Qing Jun's side' as an excuse, I am afraid that not only will it not be able to be eliminated, but it will bring disaster to us." The emperor said.

"We can replace this action with 'rectifying the ministries to eliminate internal collusion,' so that the strict party has nothing to say." Yan Jinxuan said.

"yes. Internal collusion has always been the most taboo thing for the king, and the emperor can take this opportunity to crack down on the strict party. Yan Yunpei said.

"However, as soon as this matter is announced, the Yan Party will definitely take action." The emperor said worriedly.

"We can start with the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites and the Dali Temple, as long as these four ministries are cleared, it will be easy to do." Yan Jinxuan said.

These four ministries are all first-level administrative organs of the Ming Kingdom, but now they are under the control of the strict party.

"That's what Lord Yan said." Du Chenghuan agreed.

"But if we do this, it will be tantamount to hurting Yan Shichong's roots, and he will definitely not give up." Su Zizhao said solemnly.

"Therefore, the emperor's will is needed, and we must have enough people and act fast enough." Yan Jinxuan said.

The emperor closed his eyes and pondered.

"Father, now that the situation is urgent, please don't hesitate any longer." The third prince said earnestly.

He was afraid that the emperor would be soft-hearted again this time.

After a long time, the emperor said: "Their power is too great, we must not act lightly, it is better to spend some time and make careful arrangements first." ”

The crowd agreed.

"Yan Shangshu, Du Shangshu, Liu Imperial Envoy and Fu Imperial Envoy obey orders." The emperor said.

Yan Jinxuan, Du Chenghuan, Liu Chengze and Fu Dapeng hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

"I have appointed you to be the person in charge of this rectification. Starting from today, within a month, you will figure out the specific methods of this rectification. ”

"Yes." The four of them responded in unison.

"I hope this reorganization will be comprehensive. Not only for the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites and the Dali Temple. The emperor said again.

"Yes."

"It's not a good idea to reveal this too soon, so you'd better keep your mouth shut until you take action." The emperor looked at the twenty ministers in front of him and said.

"Yes." The ministers said in unison.

The emperor rubbed his forehead again, he was still not confident enough for this action.

But no matter what, we have to go this way.

Therefore the Emperor said, "Then let's discuss this matter every ten days, and I hope to hear more ideas that will be beneficial to this action." ”

The ministers nodded.

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for everyone to step back.

Just as the third prince was about to walk to the gate, the emperor suddenly said, "Rui'er." You stay. ”

The third prince hurriedly turned around and returned to him.

"You'd better not interfere with this time." The emperor said.

"Are you worried that Yan Shichong will deal with Erchen because of this?" The third prince asked.

"Hmm."

The third prince thought for a moment. Answer: "Okay." ”

But he knew he couldn't afford to ignore it. It's just that he's not the one who comes forward directly.

"Your queen mother doesn't seem to be in a good mood lately, I don't know if it's because I demoted Jiong'er to the frontier of the common people." The emperor said with a slight frown.

"What the father did is not wrong, and the queen mother will slowly understand."

"Not necessarily. After all, Jiong'er is her biological son, what mother would not love her child? ”

"Erchen will visit her later, and help her solve it by the way."

"Mmmm, she's most willing to listen to you, you go and talk to her."

………………

When Yan Jinxuan walked out of the palace gate, Honka hurriedly jumped out of the carriage to greet him.

While waiting for Yan Jinxuan, Honka had already slept two times, so his spirit at this time was very good.

"Have you had dinner?" Yan Jinxuan asked.

"I've eaten it earlier, how about you?"

"Eat it too, let's go, let's go back quickly."

"Yes."

Honmatsu was eager to go back immediately, so he immediately whipped his horses and drove them to the small farm.

But no matter how they hurried, it was already late at night when they arrived at the small farmstead.

Su Shanyun was still waiting for Yan Jinxuan in the room.

Since Su Shanyun has not slept yet, Green Lotus naturally has not slept either.

In the past, Honka would go to his residence as soon as he entered the door, but today he was a little hesitant.

He wanted to meet Midori so he could explain to her why he had broken his appointment.

For some reason, he felt that he had to explain to her to be at ease, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

He looked at Yan Jinxuan's tall figure going over there, and he couldn't help but want to follow.

But he didn't dare.

After all, it is where Yan Jinxuan and his wife live.

Yan Jinxuan already knew his thoughts, so after entering the door of the room, he said to Lu He: "You help me go to the windowsill of the Pavilion and bring the Ru Kiln Flower Goblet." ”

"Yes." Green Lotus hurriedly took the order and left.

When she walked out of the door of the room, she couldn't help but wonder: What does the second master want to do with that flower goose at night?

She thought as she walked, but she didn't understand anything.

As I walked, I suddenly bumped into a person.

Midori was so frightened that she almost screamed.

Honka hurriedly apologized to her and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

Green Lotus was still a little frightened, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are you here?" Don't you live over there? ”

"I ...... I would like to ask you to explain the reason for the no-show today. ”

Lu He suddenly calmed down, and hurriedly said: "That's nothing, I know that the second master is a busy man, and it is common to return late, you are his subordinate, so naturally you have to cooperate with his time." ”

Honsong's original worries were relieved at once, and his heart suddenly felt extremely comfortable, so he smiled and said, "It's rare that you are so considerate. ”

Thinking of the gifts he had bought for her, he said, "Ouch, why did a red star suddenly appear in the sky?" ”

"Really?" Green Lotus hurriedly raised his eyes.

Honka took the opportunity to take out the few things he had bought for her and put them in her hands, and ran away.

Green Lotus only felt that a small package was suddenly stuffed into his hand, and he was busy touching it with his hand.

It seems to be wrapped in cloth.

She was afraid of being seen, so she hurriedly put it in her pocket, and then flew to Tingli Pavilion.

That night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Green Lotus quietly got up to light the candle, and opened the small package by the candlelight.

See two handkerchiefs and two hairpins.

The color and style are what she likes.

This was the first time she had received a gift from a man, so she was nervous and excited.

What does he mean by that? Green Lotus asked in his heart.

"How much more can a man mean to give a gift to a woman?" Mama Song's voice suddenly sounded.

Green Lotus's face turned red all of a sudden, and he whispered, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"The light you lit is so bright, I will be awakened even if I fall asleep." Mama Song said with a smile.

Then it seemed that she knew everything, and the green lotus did not hide it, and said to her: "It's a handkerchief and a hairpin." ”

"Prove that he is interested in you." Mama Song said. (To be continued.) )
