The rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the sky finally cleared again. In front of Weiyang Palace, the bell rang, and a large court meeting was held without the emperor coming to the court, which was the first time since the son succeeded to the throne today.

Although in the past few days, a series of major changes have occurred in Chang'an City. But except for some of the forces involved, for most courtiers, they didn't know much about the details.

The rumor that His Majesty the Emperor is ill cannot be concealed. For such the most important news, which is related to their own interests, everyone will of course have various emotions to inquire as much as possible and want to know more.

But so far, no one can know what the emperor's body is like before entering Weiyang Palace. Although I was a lot anxious in my heart, seeing the calm appearance inside and outside the Weiyang Palace, I didn't expect that there would be too serious a situation.

This is the first grand court meeting held by the Han court in a few days since the last meeting of the hundred kings. This time there are a lot of people coming. The ministers and ministers in Chang'an, the officials of all ranks, and the princes and kings who came from the counties of Tianxia according to the predetermined date...... Wait a minute.

This court meeting was set by the emperor a long time ago. Before the official ceremony of signing the national covenant between the imperial court and the kings of many neighboring countries who came to the court, it was necessary for the monarch and the ministers to consult carefully and strive to formulate and improve all the affairs of the state at once, so as to provide the best conditions for the next step of creating a permanent and stable surrounding environment.

After so many years of development, the Han Dynasty finally ushered in today's situation, which is indeed hard-won. Therefore, it is particularly important to formulate a framework for the most perfect inter-state exchanges, to formally establish the leadership position centered on the Han Empire, so that all these neighboring states as subordinate states can benefit from this relationship in line with the interests of their own countries, so as to willingly maintain the authority of the Han Dynasty.

For the ministers of the DPRK and China, this is a daunting task that is both exhilarating and overwhelming. Because there is no precedent to follow, the Central Plains country has never reached the current martial arts for thousands of years, after generations of dynasties. It became a difficult problem to formulate a constitution that would not only reflect the majesty of the Han Empire, but also enable all the states that came to the Hajj to benefit from it, which became a difficult problem for the ministers of the court.

At the end of the last Hanyuan Palace court meeting, the emperor once specifically proposed to settle the formulation at this court meeting. All ministers are to work together and offer advice. Those who have a reasonable and useful article are adopted, and they will be rewarded! And those who do not have any useful suggestions will be punished!

Emperor Chrysostom said that he was naturally not joking casually. Even if he said it in a casual tone, it was a word, and as a courtier, he couldn't ignore it in the slightest. It is precisely for this reason that many ministers who want to perform well this time have done their homework in advance and are very well prepared. There are a few young courtiers who have always wanted to go further in their careers with their eloquence, and they have even thought about how to make generous statements in the Hanyuan Palace, so that they can express their meaning clearly, and as they walked into the gate of Weiyang Palace, their steps were very firm.

It's just that no matter what mood the people who came to participate in the court meeting, when they walked through the palace gates of the various palaces tightly guarded by the Yulin Army in the palace and walked towards the Hanyuan Palace, no one might have thought that everything they had prepared would not have the opportunity to show it today.

After the heavy rain, the glazed tiles of the Weiyang Palace complex were washed away from all the dust, and it appeared more majestic and bright. The green brick corridor is long and far-reaching, and all the tragedies and secrets that have happened here seem to have disappeared with the heavy rain, leaving no trace behind.

The middle-aged man who walked in the back position scanned his surroundings with imperceptible eyes, and then handed a look of inquiry to the people who were traveling with him. The man nodded slightly, then slowed down, and the two of them whispered a few words side by side.

"The news I got yesterday was a bit scattered...... It may be that Yuanhou doesn't want me to get involved too deeply at this time. Brother Junjun, you are in charge of the Captain's Mansion, so you should know the general situation of the matter, right?"

The man with a long and lofty figure is none other than Sima Xiangru, the political doctor of the court. He had grown long hair at this time, his expression was elegant, and he was even more elegant. Zhongjun, who is more than ten years younger than him, still looks very energetic. Hearing Sima Xiangru's inquiry, he glanced back, and saw that there was no one else near Zuo, so he couldn't help but sigh softly first, and then whispered quietly.

"Yuanhou, it's really human! Something...... He sent someone to pass the letter to me last night...... In the court today, something big will inevitably happen...... Brother Sima, please wait and see! ”

Even though Sima Xiangru had always been in a good mood, when he suddenly heard the general outline of a few things in his ear, his eyes widened in shock, and his chest churned violently.

"I see! I really didn't expect that so many things would happen in just a few days...... It's just that in the court today, since His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health, will he personally preside over the overall situation? ”

Hearing him ask about this, the final army hesitated slightly. Yuan Zhao sent someone to bring him a letter last night. But it did not mention the situation of today's court meeting, nor did it elaborate on the emperor's condition.

"Brother Sima, I can't hide it, Yuanhou didn't mention it, so I can only have nothing to say!"

Speaking of this, the two glanced at each other, and many suspicions couldn't help but appear in their hearts. It's just that it's inconvenient to say more on this occasion, the Hanyuan Hall in front has arrived, and they immediately sorted out their clothes and prepared to enter the palace to face the king.

In the period before entering the Hanyuan Palace, there were still many people who had the same concern as Sima Xiangru and the final army, and there was a vague alliance composed of a large number of common interests, which had been formed. At this time, they marched on the last piece of palace square that was about to step into the Hanyuan Palace, understanding each other and fighting high.

Today's court must fight hard in order to win the situation they want most in today's chaos. Otherwise, if Yuan Zhao is really allowed to take this opportunity to regain power in the court, then it will be difficult to govern him from now on!

As the leading figures, Imperial Historian Zhang Tang and Tingwei Wei Ji tacitly looked at all the people who followed their footsteps, and a smug smile appeared on their lips. In fact, no matter what situation will occur in the court today, if Yuan Zhao wants to regain his position, it is absolutely impossible! Because they already have in their hands the evidence of the crime that can put them to death. Yuan Zhao, let you be in a catastrophe today!

And not far from them, Liu An, the king of Huainan, who came with more than a dozen princes and kings who were qualified to enter the court, had a deep look of worry on his brows. He has a wide range of sources, and although he has just arrived in the past few days, he has already learned about what he should know through various channels.

The king of Huainan, who has experienced countless storms and has the appearance of a hero, is old, but he has not yet reached the point of being old and confused. On the contrary, people are old and refined, and there are some things behind the competition, and he sees it more clearly than anyone else.

This kid Yuan Zhao is really on the cusp this time!

King Huainan sighed secretly. He, like most people, didn't know the specifics of what was going on. But in his opinion, it is not a wise thing for Yuan Zhao to take the initiative to participate in the power struggle of the royal family. The risk is too great, and if one is not careful, it will be a catastrophe, and no one can save him.

Since entering Chang'an, King Huainan has not seen Yuan Zhao once. Although his daughter has told Yuan Zhao's intention to protect the territory beyond the East China Sea. But he was still a little uneasy.

The vastness and wealth of the Great East China Sea made the King of Huainan know for a long time that the Han court would covet it sooner or later. The change of the emperor's meaning was only in the blink of an eye. If he really wanted to forcibly take back the thousands of mountains and islands beyond the East China Sea within the territory of the Han Dynasty, then this time King Huainan had already made up his mind and would definitely not retreat by half a point!

Liu An, the king of Huainan who was worried, after entering the Hanyuan Palace, like many people, was a little surprised to find that Sun Hong, the prime minister with pale hair, had already been here for a long time. And looking at its complexion, it is very different from the past. I can't help but feel a little strange in my heart, I don't understand why this head of a hundred officials, who has always been like a clay carving and wood sculpture, shows a little grandeur today?

After all the civil and military officials arrived, Hanyuan Hall sat in columns, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor. The throne on the Golden Steps of the Nine Dragons, high above the sky, was even more majestic and mysterious.

Unlike in the past, the close ministers of the inner court did not first ask the emperor for any instructions so that they could prepare in advance. At this time, in the place closest to the emperor's throne, led by Yan Zhu, the regular attendant of Shangshu, including Dong Yan, Zhu Maichen, Xu An, Dongfang Shuo, etc., were all waiting respectfully. Deep down, there were waves in their hearts, because they felt something very unusual.

The Yulin Army in the palace is on guard and patrol everywhere today, and it is stricter than in the past. Moreover, since the civil and military officials entered the Hanyuan Palace, they blocked the palace gate. Han Yan, the general of the Yulin Army, personally stood with his sword, guarding there with a serious and resolute expression, his eyes looking in the direction of the apse from time to time, as if waiting for something.

At the same moment, Yuan Zhao carefully checked the emperor's physical condition again. I found that there was no situation I was worried about, and I was finally completely relieved. After giving detailed instructions to the imperial doctors who were waiting all night here for some matters that need attention, he rubbed his forehead, and finally turned around helplessly, facing the queen mother who gritted his teeth and looked ugly.

"Yuan Zhao, do you know that everything you do in the palace is no different from a traitor! You dare to imprison the mourning family and Mrs. Li in disguise...... If you really have the guts, let the ministers of the court judge for themselves what you have done...... ”

"Yes! Oh, and if the Queen Mother feels the need, she can also go to the court and summon anyone in person......! ”

Yuan Zhao waved his hand a little indifferently, and his tone was indifferent.
