Huang Liji looked at the notice on the table, knowing that without further ado, three of the four people in the cabinet had run away, and he, the head of the cabinet, could only face the saint hard.

Fortunately, the cabinet office was in the palace, and he followed a little eunuch to the Zhongji Palace.

The little eunuch went in and came out again after a while, saying that the emperor was not in the main hall and was resting in the side hall.

Huang Liji had no choice but to rush to the side hall again, this side hall was a newly built house, and the plaque was not hung, and there was not even a guard outside to guard the door.

It is said that the side hall is actually a three-room tile house facing south and north, although the golden tile cornice, the regulation and the palace are integrated, but this room is too far away from the main hall of the palace, that is, even the general side hall is not as good, the house is low, not to mention, there is a big red cotton curtain hanging at the door, it is really unsightly.

It's just that this is the closest place to the harem and the front hall, I think it was Zhu Youzhen who deliberately built such a side hall in order to facilitate his own court, although the emperor can use the dragon to travel, but Zhu Youzhen has never used it, he has always been a car and moved his legs.

As soon as Huang Liji arrived, he saw Cao Huachun bowing down and standing up against the door curtain and coming out backwards, Cao Huachun shivered after coming out, tightened his collar, and then put the curtain hanging at the door flat before turning around.

The cold winter and the moon, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the period of the Xiaoice River, the weather was too cold, Huang Liji from the cabinet to this side hall was only a moment of incense, already frozen hands and feet, ten fingers stiff.

Cao Huachun turned around, and white mist erupted from his nose between his breaths. When he saw Huang Liji, he knew that this scholar must have been stumped by the emperor's notice, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, only to see him come over and greet with a smile: "Elder Huang Ge, but is there anything wrong with that notice?" Our family is in a hurry, and there are indeed some things that have not been explained clearly. ”

Huang Liji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that Gonggong Cao knows the mystery of this notice?" If he knew, it would be a big deal that I would have endured some blood and asked for a lesson or two, so that I would have been condemned by the saint in the past. ”

Huang Liji's hand shrunk in his sleeve was just about to be raised to salute, but Cao Hua Chunfu said again: "Actually, our family doesn't understand the reason, and only the saint knows the best about the situation." Since the emperor has explained before, if you have any questions, you can go to the saint and ask clearly. At the end, he added, "Ah, the emperor is inside." ”

Huang Liji saw that this road could not be taken, and hurriedly said yes, after Cao Huachun finished explaining, he also left in a hurry, and now the eunuch case is still in turmoil, everyone in the cabinet is in danger, and the relationship between people has plummeted, he has not entered, and he is too lazy to point out anything.

When he arrived at the door, Huang Liji tidied up his appearance, coughed lightly, and after hearing Xuanjin, he lowered himself and entered this newly repaired side hall.

As soon as Huang Liji entered the door, a hot air came to his face, the cold wind outside the house, but the inside of the house was as warm as spring, Huang Liji was shocked in his heart, such a temperature in the house is afraid that it takes seven or eight braziers to burn, right? With so many braziers burning, and when I came in just now, the doors and windows were closed so tightly, wouldn't this kill people?

At this time, people don't know much about carbon monoxide poisoning. Because most people can't afford to burn carbon fires, and most of the houses in this season are brick and wood structures, most of the roof and window lattices are not sealed enough, and some don't even have dust, even if they burn carbon fires, there will be no problems, so they can't attract people's attention.

During the winter, someone died overnight, and after the government intervened, they couldn't find out why, so they only said that they had recruited the plague god. Zi Bu was silent, but Huang Liji checked the relevant information and copywriting because of his interest, and summed up a few experiences.

One is that the house should not be airtight, which hinders the alternation of the pure air of heaven and earth with the turbid air in the house; The second is not to set off multiple braziers, which will accelerate the depletion of clean air in the house and the rapid increase of turbidity.

After Huang Liji summed up these two experiences, in the following years, the examples of people dying suddenly overnight every time they spent the winter should prove his view. Not to mention other places, just say that there are so many wealthy families in Beijing every winter who die in bed, even if someone is lucky enough to survive, there will be a stupid sequelae!

It's a pity that he is in the court, and he can't help himself, what is in front of him is not a mutual exchange and a clean air, but a very popular minister, and the party is the same as the other, so he didn't care about such a trivial matter, but just told his family not to commit these two taboos.

Huang Liji's mind was spinning, but he was slightly stunned, and he had doubts in his heart, seven or eight braziers burned, even if they burned the best beast carbon, the house had long been smoky, and he couldn't treat people, why didn't there be a trace of fireworks in this warm pavilion?

Huang Liji was puzzled, a wisp of light smoke floated out of the back room, Huang Liji was happy in his heart, sure enough!

How could he not firmly grasp such a meritorious service! At this time, Huang Liji had already forgotten all about the notice in his hand, and just wanted to see the emperor as soon as possible and express his worries, this is a major matter related to the life of the Son of Heaven! Afterwards, we must also check carefully, which bold person came up with such a vicious idea!

Huang Liji was very meritorious, bowed his head and walked in, and when he got inside, he didn't kneel down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something urgent to play!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Youzhen to let him answer, so he was a little polite and continued: "Your Majesty, you can't set off multiple braziers in the house, and the doors and windows can't be closed so tightly, there will be big problems if the inside and outside are not clear!" ”

After Huang Liji finished speaking, he put his left hand on his right hand, rubbed his hand on the ground, and his forehead was tightly attached to the back of his hand, and made a standard courtesy of a monarch and minister.

Huang Liji saw that Zhu Yousong didn't reply, and thought that he didn't understand the reason, so he had to explain: "Your Majesty, every year in Beijing, there will be people who die because of two reasons, and Weichen has also heard of this, and I hope that the emperor will pay attention to it, so as to ensure the health of the dragon and the stability of the society!" ”

Huang Liji, who was kneeling at this time, heard a voice and said: "Don't be so nervous, this house is wooden, although the door curtain is hung, but there are no curtains, besides——"

Huang Liji heard that the voice was not Zhu Youzhen's voice, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu, sitting on a chair, with a thick cushion under his buttocks, and a boxy, soft pillow in his arms, with Erlang's legs crossed, staring at himself with a playful expression.

Huang Liji's face was cold, and he said secretly in his heart: "Could it be the emperor instigated by the prince of Fuwang?" ”

Zhu Yousong hadn't finished speaking, but he saw Zhu Youzhen glance at him, and interrupted him: "No courtesy, flat body!" In the future, if you don't go to the court, you don't have to pay a big salute, give a seat! ”

Huang Liji was stunned in his heart, he had heard it a long time ago, the emperor didn't like the minister to kneel down to him, as if he heard that the emperor hated such red tape trouble, but the people below said that the current saint was quite infatuated with the Tang Dynasty, and he heard that the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty did not kneel in the face of the saint, and they also wanted to follow suit.

Huang Liji doesn't care so much, everyone in the cabinet has served in the Ministry of Rites, and if you want to enter the cabinet, you have to go through this process in the Ministry of Rites, and you can only enter the cabinet after being nominated in the Ministry of Rites, which is a fixed procedure.

The emperor said politely, you have to take it seriously, next time you don't kneel, the next day the emperor's table must be full of folds to impeach you, and he said: "The gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be spent!" Saying this, the body still stood up honestly, and the little eunuch behind him brought him a chair, and he carefully put on his half-pulled ass and sat down.
