Mao time. Officials at all levels waited in front of the noon gate for nearly an hour. In fact, I was already tired. Especially for some old people who are already old. Before dawn, I had to stand here for a whole hour. It's a bit overwhelming. It's summer. It's cooler when it's not dawn. That's not bad. But if it's winter. This Shuntianfu is definitely frozen. No amount of wear can last long. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. Everyone was frozen to the point that their hands and feet were cold. I'm good to be here. Either they are middle-aged and strong. It can withstand it. Or just stand like this all year round. It's already used to it.

The noon gate at the time of Mao. After a drum beat on the castle tower. The door slowly opened. The hundreds of officials who had already lined up the line walked in one by one. Walked across the Jinshui Bridge. In front of the Gate of Dechengtian. Stop and form a team again. Wait to enter the Imperial City.

This time. There are many imperial histories standing on the side. Their character is to oversee these officials. If someone coughs or spits. Or someone who walks unsteadily. will be recorded by them. Then wait for processing. Of course. Although the imperial history is responsible for picketing hundreds of officials. But Goshi is also human. If you are human, you will naturally have seven emotions and six desires. Especially these imperial historians. Most of them were because they offended some big people back then. has long been out of the word "promotion". And he is indeed quite an upright person. Leave it as a royal history. Perform the duties of supervising 100 officials. But these people have been here for so many years. In fact, many people have long been different. It is also very normal to be surrounded by one side of the force.

So at this time. Officials who have misbehaved in the slightest. If it's related. Basically, no one will record him or anything. Of course. On the other hand, if there is an enemy of the family. At this time, even if you pay attention and be serious. It is also very likely that these sharp-eyed imperial historians will catch the slightest inappropriateness and make a big fuss. In a word. This kind of thing. Fantastic very.

And today. Because of what is going to happen. Whether it is civil and military officials. It's still the imperial history on the side. I don't even have the heart to care about that. Although the officials are still in order. The etiquette is not messed up at all. But the eyes kept wandering around. Most of them glanced at Li Chunfang and Gao Gong. And the same is true of the imperial historians on the side.

The gate of the Imperial Palace opened. In the voice of the admiral eunuch. The officials entered in turn. It is divided into left, right, and military and official positions. Although it was still very early at this time. And according to the character of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Especially today's Long Qingye, who has reached the extreme. Hehe. This early time has been waiting.

"The emperor has arrived." The little eunuch's high-pitched duckling voice suddenly rang out.

The voice is heard. The faces of the officials showed an expression of surprise and unsurprising, two diametrically opposed emotions. If it is according to Longqing's past habits. There is absolutely no way to appear on the main hall so early. Late or even not there. That's all very normal. Today, Longqing actually arrived at the main hall so early. It's a very strange thing that amazes the officials.

But. After all, something very important is going to happen today. Long Qing came so early in the morning. It seems to be understandable.

How would Longqing know what was going on in the minds of these ministers standing below. He was still the same as always. Walked up to the dragon chair and sat down.

See the Emperor seated. The officials immediately knelt down in unison. Three prostrations. The mountain shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Zhongqing is flat." Long Qing's rather majestic voice sounded.

"Long live thanks." The hundred officials shouted in unison again.

Say this kneeling. It seems very natural now. But in fact, many ministers are a little unhappy in their hearts. The time of the two Han Dynasty. Not to mention that the emperor should be polite when he sees the prime minister. Bestow a seat with it. It's time to go to court. Ordinary courtiers also have a seat. This habit remained the same until the Sui and Tang dynasties. And since the Song Dynasty. Officials have to sit and perform their duties when they go to court. to the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, there were clear regulations. The "Great Chaoyi" must "all the officials kneel". to the Qing Dynasty. When he was an official. It was a very long time to kneel. So much so that the ministers had special knee pads. It can be seen from the etiquette of the previous court. The word Song Dynasty began. The authority of the emperor was constantly rising. And the status of ministers is declining.

Skip this episode.

When the officials stood up and returned to their positions. All of them found the difference in today's early dynasty. It's just a matter of what makes the difference. But there are many people who can't figure it out. And Zhang Fan has never been in the court too early for the first time. The first time I came today, I found out. I still remember my last life. Whether it is a Qing court drama or a Ming Dynasty opera. When the emperor went to court. Except for the few words he could only hear in the play. It seems that there should be another sentence.

Zhang Fan thought well. This time. The eunuch who had just shouted should shout again, "Something is going on." There is nothing to retreat from". Actually, this sentence sounds a little weird. After all, such a big empire. How could there be no thing happening in a day? However, it is not excluded that the ministers wanted to cater to the emperor of the current dynasty. Obviously there is something to do, but no one is playing. Just like that. But I got up in the middle of the night after suffering from these. People who have been waiting for a long time but have not done anything. It's a loss.

The little eunuch did not shout. The officials below don't know what to do. They all stood there stupidly and silently.

"Huh." The ministers did not speak. It doesn't mean that Longqing, who is the emperor, also has to be a stuffy gourd. His questioning voice alarmed the hundred officials. "Zhang Aiqing. Didn't I allow you to go home and recuperate for some time before returning to the court? Why are you here today? This diligence is a good thing. But don't be so desperate. ”

When Long Qing said this, the civil and military officials who heard it below all wanted to roll their eyes in their hearts. Zhang Fan, the commander of the brocade guard, didn't need to come to the court. How can you say that you are diligent in government. Long Qing said. Although there is some ridicule of Zhang Fan's meaning. But it sounded to the other ministers. This is completely a kind of favor for Zhang Fan. And this. Naturally, it will cause many people to be unhappy.

"Wechen doesn't dare." Zhang Fan hurriedly said modestly. "It's just that Wechen was at home yesterday. All day with nothing to do. I panicked. I always feel that His Majesty has given Weichen a leave. But it's not a problem for Weichen to stay like this. Again. Didn't Your Majesty agree that Wechen would decide for himself when to return to the court? Zhang Fan was not at all afraid that Longqing's praise of him, which would obviously attract the dissatisfaction of other ministers, would be detrimental to himself.

It's just that Zhang Fan said this. It seems to be more stinky fart. There are already many people who can't help but start to really roll their eyes.

"Haha. Good. Long Qing only said that. Then he changed his serious expression. Said. "Anyone wants to play."

Look at me, my ministers. I'll look at you. But for a while, no one had the intention of going up to speak. This is not the case for ordinary people. There are not a few people who have "business" today.

Zhang Fan doesn't need to say it. Yesterday he had already rehearsed today's play. He already has a number in his heart about how to act. It's not time for him to play. Or maybe he won't be needed today.

And as the protagonist of the story that will happen today. Li Chunfang is also unmoved now. He had already made up his mind in his heart. I want to be a priest. It's just that yesterday because of Zhang Fan's visit. Li Chunfang also made slight changes to her plan. But it's the same even if it doesn't change. He will not be allowed to be the second assistant of the cabinet in the early morning. Genius is just shining. The early dynasty was just beginning to fold. Hand in your resignation. That's just a bit too scenic. Li Chunfang is waiting. He was waiting for the high arch to move. He will move.

And Gao Gong is also in the same mind as Li Chunfang. After all, he was also ready yesterday to let his people start bombarding Li Chunfang today. I'm going to let him go. But it's the same. Early in the morning, when he was just in court, he came out to impeach people. The Emperor would never be happy. If the emperor is not happy. Maybe this thing, which was very likely to succeed, has also turned yellow. That's not a good deal. High arch wants to wait. It's moving later.

The others next to him were waiting for Li Gao and the others to make a move. But after waiting for a while, I saw that there was no movement on either side. I couldn't help but wonder a little. And they are the same. Know what's going to happen today. No one wants to go in and touch this mold.

"How." The ruler does not speak. It doesn't mean that the emperor is silent. "It seems that my Ming Dynasty is really smooth under my governance. The people lived and worked in peace. ”

This sentence seems to be self-praise. It's actually a warning to the people below. Since Long Qing said so. His subtext is. If you people don't say it. That means I'm right. That's good, of course. But if something happens that doesn't go well, and the people can't live and work in peace and contentment. I'm afraid someone is going to be unlucky

Really. The officials below also heard what Long Qing meant. Immediately, someone stepped up and started playing. If you have one, there will naturally be two or three.

Time. The early dynasty seems to have returned to its usual appearance. The ministers came out one after another to speak. And Longqing is also the same as in the past. Listen to it without saying a word. Nor do they express an opinion.

Wait until everything needs to be said is done. After the cold came down. The sun began to shine on the earth with all its might. The hall was bright. But the atmosphere is getting more and more tense.

Gao Gong saw that no one stood up and spoke anymore. He knew his time had come. Turn your head slightly. Gao Gong looked at Guo Pu on the side. Guo Pu, who understands it, is also not ambiguous. There was immediate action. I started to walk towards the center of the main hall.

saw Guo Pu move. The officials know. The show is about to begin. However......

"Your Majesty. Wechen has something to play. The two voices thought of each other at the same time.

Hear here. The officials couldn't help but look over. found that there was a person standing in front of Guo Pu in front of him.
