There are six supervising imperial histories in the Imperial Court this time, three each in Zhejiang Province and Jiangxi Province.

Li Hengbing and a middle-aged man stood in front, Hu Qingzheng, Tian Zhenshu, and Zheng Shouli stood behind the two, with solemn expressions and standing straight.

Zhou Zheng came in and walked to his place.

Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli glanced at Zhou Zheng with a solemn face, and then there was no other movement.

Hu Qingzheng looked at his nose and nose, as if he didn't see Zhou Zheng coming.

Li Hengbing held his hands under his abdomen, closed his eyes slightly, and pretended to sleep, indifferent to Zhou Zheng's arrival.

It's only four watches now, there are only a few lanterns, and the courtyard seems unusually quiet and dark.

I don't know how long it took, two people walked out of the courtyard, Li Hengbing and the people next to him moved slightly, saluted and said 'Lord', and then followed behind these two people and walked outside.

Zhou Zheng looked at the backs of the two of them, thinking about the one on the left, could it be Cui Chengxiu, one of the five biaos?

A group of people, under the escort of the officials, came to the Xihua Gate, turned around, and came to the Huangji Gate.

It was not yet the fifth watch, and the sky was still dark, and the guards not far away were carrying scattered lanterns, which became more and more cold.

As the number of people grew, the team was not so cold, and people began to talk to each other in groups.

The official rank of the branch is the smallest, and naturally it is at the back.

Li Hengbing stood in front of Zhou Zheng, tilted his head slightly, and said indifferently: "Before entering the Imperial Gate, it is your last chance." ”

Li Hengbing's meaning is very simple, Zhou Zheng still has a chance to be 'obedient' before entering the Huangji Gate, otherwise he will be waiting for him to make a move.

Zhou Zheng said lightly: "I don't have the habit of being a slave. ”

Li Hengbing turned his head and did not speak again.

Tian Zhenshu and Zhou Zheng were separated from Hu Qingzheng, and they wanted to say something more to Zhou Zheng, but they could only endure it.

When it was almost the fifth watch, the gate of the imperial pole opened, and an inner supervisor came out, singing and shouting 'enter'.

A group of people lined up, and in the darkness, they entered the Huangji Gate and looked at the majestic Huangji Hall from afar.

The team kept moving forward, and in front of the Imperial Palace, there was a team of brocade-clothed guards, and some imperial histories were mixed in.

Knock knock

Suddenly, a dull bell rang in the palace, and then in the silence there was a thick and piercing sound of the door opening.

The adults who walked in front began to climb the stairs, and the guards around them, the imperial history began to check these people, the guards checked the safety, and the imperial history checked the demeanor.

The line began to stretch a little longer, and the speed of the group gradually slowed down.

Li Hengbing stood in front of Zhou Zheng, turned sideways slightly, and said, "You will regret it." ”

Zhou Zheng ignored it, the matter had come to this point, no matter how Li Hengbing threatened, he couldn't back down.

Soon, Li Hengbing stepped forward and was inspected by the guards, and after him, he was the chief official of Jiangxi Province, and Zhou Zheng and others were still waiting.

Li Hengbing took a few steps forward, and a royal historian stepped forward to check his appearance.

"The third after me." Li Hengbing said in a low voice.

"Got it." The Imperial Historian responded in the same low voice.

After the chief officer of Jiangxi Province was inspected by the guards, Hu Qingzheng stepped forward, holding a big belly and squinting his eyes, obviously having previous experience and being familiar with it.

Zhou Zheng looked at the dark front, and suddenly whispered to Tian Zhenshu behind him: "Brother Tian, let's change positions." ”

Tian Zhen was stunned, looked in front of him, did not speak, stepped forward, and walked in front of Zhou Zheng silently and quickly.

Soon, Tian Zhenshu, Zhou Zheng, and Zheng Shouli were inspected by the guards one after another, stepped to the steps, and walked towards the Imperial Palace.

Yushi stood on both sides, looking at the people passing by in the dark, with a solemn and serious expression.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Tian Zhenshu in front of Zhou Zheng was stopped, and an imperial historian came over, looked at Tian Zhenshu, frowned, and said, "You are Zhou Zhengyun from Zhejiang Province, right?" Do you know you're wearing the wrong uniform? Don't you know if your clothes are dirty here? How to go to court with such an instrument, you don't have to go to court today! ”

The Imperial Historian, who was in charge of picketing manners, had the power to prohibit an official from going to court if his appearance was in the way.

It's extremely rare and doesn't usually happen, but it does!

Tian Zhenshu stared at the copper bell with big eyes, looking at the imperial history in front of him, his eyes flashing. Although it was dark, he was sure that he didn't know this person, after all, there were hundreds of imperial histories in the Imperial Palace, who came and went every day, where to recognize them all.

Seeing that Tian Zhen didn't speak, this imperial historian snorted coldly and said, "Do you want me to let the guards take you out, or do you break in now and sue the emperor?" ”

It is impossible to break in and sue the emperor, not to mention that the emperor will definitely not like it, and the adults of the Manchu Dynasty are also dissatisfied, and people with brains will not do this.

Of course, in addition to being taken out, there is also Tian Zhenshu walking away by herself, which is the most normal reaction.

But!

"I'm not from Zhejiang Province, I'm not Zhou Zhengyun, I'm Tian Zhenshu from Jiangxi Province." Tian Zhenshu said in a very calm tone, and at the same time, he also understood why Zhou Zheng wanted to change places with him.

This imperial history's face changed slightly, stared at Tian Zhenshu seriously, and said, "You really aren't you?" ”

Tian Zhen said: "The adults of our Metropolitan Procuratorate are in front, do you need me to call back to prove it?" Or ask him to intercede and see if I can go to court? ”

This imperial history naturally didn't dare to alarm their Zuodu Imperial History, stared at Tian Zhenshu for a look, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng and Zheng Shouli behind Tian Zhenshu, he didn't know Zhou Zheng, and the basic characteristics were not clear.

What to do?

This imperial history frowned, and his expression was a little irritated.

One of these three people must be Zhou Zhengyun, and he can't tell the difference, but he can't turn all three out of the door and prevent them from going to court, right?

"I'll go and please." Tian Zhenshu didn't give this person a chance to hesitate, and raised his feet to catch up with Cui Chengxiu.

This Yushi was startled, hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile: "Tian Yushi said that he was laughing, how dare I alarm the director of the station and his old man, no problem, you can go in." ”

Tian Zhen snorted coldly, took a few steps forward and stopped, turning his head to look at him.

The corners of this Yushi's face stiffened, but he didn't pay attention to Tian Zhenshu and looked at Zhou Zheng who came up.

This imperial historian looked at Zhou Zheng, hesitated, did not speak, and when Zhou Zheng walked over, his eyes fell on Zheng Shouli, looking up and down.

Zhou Zheng didn't leave, glanced at Tian Zhenshu, and looked at this imperial history side by side.

Zheng Shouli put his hands behind his back, held his chest up, his expression was cold and arrogant, and his eyes were full of disdain.

He couldn't see where it was obvious that someone was playing tricks to prevent Zhou Zheng from going to court.

This imperial historian looked at Zheng Shouli, his face changed, he couldn't tell if this person was Zhou Zheng, if he couldn't stop Zhou Zheng outside, how could he explain to Li Hengbing?

Suddenly, this imperial historian's face changed violently, turned to Zhou Zheng, and said, "You are Zhou Zhengyun?" ”

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, but he didn't expect to be recognized, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In the next place, what does this colleague have to say?" ”
