The shape of the city of the Beijing Division, basically a "convex" type, enter the imperial city from Zuo'anmen, the most central palace city, that is, the Forbidden City, is built according to the "front and back bed", among which there are the Sheji altar and the temple in front of the Linjing Gate.

The civil officials in the palace dismounted the sedan chair and the military attache dismounted, and only a few highly respected ministers who enjoyed the privilege of riding the sedan chair were rewarded by the emperor.

As soon as he saw him, he sent a few hundred taels of silver tickets over, Liu Zhiyuan accepted it with a smile, walked across a white bridge carved with dragons and phoenixes, and then arrived at the central axis of the palace city, walking along the side gate, Liu Zhiyuan reminded: "Jia Xiu calmly deal with it." ”

Jia Cong knew that it was important to deal with it calmly, but it was not easy to deal with it, this kind of thing was unpredictable, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, but he saw Liu Zhiyuan looking behind the East Pavilion. Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and then he had a plan, this matter seems to involve the celebrant supervisor?

Seeing the brocade guard with a belt embroidered with a spring knife and a flying fish suit standing on the three outer floors of the Renhua Palace, Jia Cong's eyelids jumped, it seemed that the answer was not good, and the emperor would order the brocade guard and take it on the spot.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, there was this kind of thrilling court pair, the most important thing in this is psychological quality, facial expressions, so as to influence the emperor's choices, Wen Tiren is on the throne.

With Liu Zhiyuan's reminder, Jia Cong's mind was settled a lot, and the distance from Zuo'anmen to Renhua Hall did not make him out of breath, and he bent down slightly, he walked from the steps to the door.

On the majestic and magnificent palace, the white clouds rolled, and a ray of sunlight penetrated out, shooting on the moat of the inner city that was several feet wide, and the white jade was the railing, becoming the only point of dawn in the inner palace.

Jia Cong caught a glimpse of the yellow robe, stepped into the door and bowed three times and bowed nine times, this set of etiquette after half a year of practice, he can do it without messing up with his eyes closed.

The emperor shouted flat, and Jia Cong got up and stood in the middle of the road.

At this time, he used his spare eyes to catch a glimpse of this hall, Renhua Hall in Dashun, many times is the highest decision-making power, and the West Pavilion, East Pavilion alongside, once the emperor is lazy, has something to do or picks a child, the government affairs of more than 2,000 counties in the country, in this hall people have the final say.

Compared with the cold of the West Pavilion, the Renhua Hall is much more spectacular, the middle of the avenue is left and right, several golden pillars are erected, support the beams, the left and right are the best wood strips for office use, the back door of the Renhua Gate and the Qinzheng Hall are far away, there are partial doors on the left and right, the Sumeru seat is set up in the north, it is specially prepared for the emperor pro-temporarily.

Looking at the bureaucrats on the left and right, the closest to the door is Niu Jizong, the right governor of Jinyi Wei, it is said that the old man of Zhenguo Niu Qing died, and his eldest grandson Sun Yin was promoted, this is the benefit of the Xun noble lineage, he was born with a golden key, and Jia Cong did not have this benefit.

I also met Dai Quanwen last year, but at this time, Niu Jizong didn't look at him, with an indifferent face of impartiality.

Next to the golden pillar on the left, the master of ceremonies was headed by Dai Quan, followed by Bingbi and Suitang, all of whom bent over, and Liu Zhiyuan entered this ranks.

On the right side, Yang Qinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of the Ministry of Justice, the scholar of the Renhua Temple, and the first assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of the East Pavilion, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Fenyi, the second of the Ministry of Households, and Wang Yingyuan, the scholar of the West Pavilion University, the third of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Bi Zhong, the fourth of the Ministry of War, and the fifth of Jia Yucun, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the secretary of Dali Temple, Gao Wenqi, the general political envoy of the General Administration Department, and the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In addition, it is the right person to call, the Hanlin Academy edited and repaired Pi Shixuan, the engineering department gave Jia Siwen, the Hanlin Academy revised Jia Cong, and the official department waiter and Shuntian Mansion Yin Dong Anguo.

Between the Sumeru seat and the courtiers, there are imperial guards, upper and direct personal guards to guard, and with the brocade guards inside and out, it is really terrifying!

Jia Cong saw the feet inside Pi Shixuan's robe, and he would shake from time to time.

Jia Cong has a second bit of confidence in his heart, it is very obvious, Pi Shixuan is a novice in officialdom, it seems that he is a little lacking in confidence, Jia Siwen has a lot of experience, and his qualifications are older than himself, but he is calm and calm, Jia Cong made up his mind at this time, and when he will fight back, he will use Pi Shixuan as a breakthrough.

For Jia Cong, who has been a person in two lifetimes, a person like Pi Shixuan is a stunned young man.

Emperor Yongle on the Sumeru seat, the gray hair on his temples can be vaguely seen to have increased a lot, and Emperor Yongle broke the silence: "Jiuqing will push the list, there are as many as thirteen people, and if Sanqing nods, he can enter one person, Jia Cong, you are the youngest among them, the minister, you want to serve the public, and now someone is not convinced by you, what do you say?" ”

"Wechen is terrified!" Jia Cong was listed from the middle of the line, he was the third time to meet the emperor in the palace, only this time it was in full view, he was quiet for a moment, and regarded the left and right ministers as nothing, which did not affect his inner fluctuations, and said: "The minister heard that he was impeached by Taiyuan, because he was at home to avoid suspicion, and he did not dare to go out a step, but he was determined by holy order." ”

"Jasven said that Dong Anguo's party protects you? Do you have a party? Emperor Yongle's eyes were ruthless, and as soon as these words fell, he went up to the cabinet chief assistant, and down to the celebrant and supervisor, all of them did not change color!

You must know that the word "party" certainly exists in the feudal bureaucracy, but in feudal society, "party" is an attack word, and no minister dares to admit what party he is! There is hardly any emperor who can tolerate the formation of a faction among his courtiers!

Dong Anguo broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down, but on the contrary, Jia Cong had to be calmer, lifted his robe and waved his sleeves before kneeling.

Jaswen and Bi Shixuan are secretly proud, traitors, they are finally going to be ambushed!

This is a very critical moment, if you are unstable, you will tremble when you speak, or even speak incoherently, which will provoke the anger of the emperor, and foolish loyalists like Jia Zheng, as well as many loyal ministers, I am afraid that you will think that you are finished at this time.

At the beginning, Qian Qianyi just didn't speak well, and he didn't behave well on the spot, it was obviously fake, but it was also said by Wen Tiren to be true, and the emperor also believed it, in fact, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, the most important thing is to influence the emperor's heart, or provoke his suspicions.

"Weichen dare not admit it if he dies!" Of course, Jia Cong will not let go of Qian Qianyi's mistake, and the coherence is clear: "If it is said that there were people in the township in the past who tried to protect Weichen, why is it that Weichen was unjustly punished?" The township test file is returned to the Ministry of Rites for grinding, and the emperor can read it at any time. ”

"What did Jasven say?" Emperor Yongle lowered his eyebrows, this Jia Siwen successfully aroused his suspicions, that one of the twists and turns, on the surface, was talking about the township test case, but it was pointing out that Jia Cong was forming a party for personal gain, selling his name and buying straight, blinding Shengcong, etc., how could he not read it? Jia Cong is the new champion, and it involves the four major families that he gradually dislikes, and as soon as Jia Swen folds, he also begins to dislike Jia Cong.

"Back to the emperor." Jia Swen played: "Isn't that a township test suspected of making a name for Jia Cong?" From the two township examinations to the general examinations, Dong Fuyin was either supervised on the spot or served as an examiner. ”

"The latter subject of the township examination and the examination papers can also be accessed." Dong Anguo hurriedly defended that he was recommended by Yang Qinghe to join the cabinet this year, and Yang Qinghe was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he presented the Zhu scroll of Jia Cong's three branches on the spot.

Pi Shixuan is full of confidence, his performance is to cry out for Fang Wuregret, Dai Quan over there grinds his teeth from time to time, and this struggle is becoming more and more intense and complicated.
