The noise of the hall became louder and louder, and even if the hall was separated by a heavy hall, it could be heard clearly before it slowly subsided, and after another half a sound, Zou Wenteng and Yang Shi came back. Both of them were sweating profusely, as if it was not a snowy winter outside, but as if they had just walked into the hall from the midsummer sunshine.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Yang Yong regained his composure and asked, "Everyone went back?" ”

Zou Wenteng nodded: "Back to the prince, everyone went back, everyone heard that the prince was infected with wind and cold, and they were supposed to visit the prince, thanks to the persuasion of His Royal Highness King Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Han took the lead, everyone was willing to go back." ”

"Okay, you can go down too, remember, until the Chinese New Year, no matter who comes to visit, you will return to the main palace and be infected with the wind and cold, and you can't receive it in person."

From the day of the winter solstice, until the fifth day of the first month, all the yamen of the court have been on vacation, and the early dynasty has also stopped, and the prince said that he was infected with the wind and cold, and he could not leave the palace at all.

"Weichen obeys the order, but the prince ......" Zou Wenteng has not figured out yet, so many princes and important ministers came to congratulate the prince, why the prince was not only unhappy, but also pretended to be sick and hid in the past.

Yang Yong glared at Zou Wenteng: "It's just something, it's not going down." ”

"Yes." Zou Wenteng didn't dare to ask again, so he had to go on puzzled.

At that time, Yang Jian was in Menxia Province, and there was only one Hongwen Hall away from the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, but the officials in charge of the Hongwen Hall had gone home from vacation, and it was very quiet in the middle, and the voice of the Mingde Hall still reached Yang Jian's ears.

At this time, Yang Jian was still immersed in the excitement of sacrificing the heavens in the morning, although he repeatedly refused the request of the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, but sometimes he calmed down and thought about it, with his own merits, he would not exceed the end of the Qin Emperor Han Wu, the Qin Emperor Han Wu could climb Mount Tai to seal the Zen, of course he could also climb Mount Tai to seal the Zen, the reason why he refused was because he had to choose the most suitable time.

From Chang'an to Mount Tai to seal Zen, it takes almost a year to come and go. Drunken Dew Academy has been outside for such a long time, and Yang Jian is still vaguely worried in his heart, but now the four seas are leveling. There is occasional turmoil, and it is also a little ringworm scabies disease in the frontier, why is he worried, but Yang Jian can't think of it, and he doesn't want to think about it.

Hearing the hustle and bustle coming from the East Palace, Yang Jian suddenly frowned, and said to the old eunuch Lu who was serving beside him: "Send someone to see, what happened in the East Palace, why is it so uproar?" ”

"Yes. Slave obeys! The old eunuch Lu trembled out of the lower province, passed through the Hongwen Pavilion, and entered the East Palace directly from the Tongxun Gate.

Before approaching the Mingde Palace, the voices of the various princes and ministers clearly reached the ears of the old eunuch Lu. Although the old eunuch Lu was old, his ears did not flower, and he suddenly jumped after a moment's pause. There are many ministers in the interior of the Mingde Palace. It's almost possible to start the morning court directly.

Old Eunuch Lu soon returned. reported to Yang Jian: "Back to the emperor, it is several princes who are making noise in the Mingde Palace. ”

"How many princes?" Yang Jian was not so easy to fool: "Why do I seem to hear Han Baohu." The voice of Shi Wansui and others? ”

"The emperor has good ears, he can hear the voices of Lord Han and Lord Shi from such a distance, the old slave is dizzy, and he can barely distinguish a few people when he arrives in the Mingde Palace."

Seeing that the old eunuch Lu pretended to be deaf, Yang Jian didn't want to ask again, so he had to say to the young eunuch on the other side of the side: "Xiao Dingzi, go and see, what is the East Palace doing?" ”

"The slave obeys." The eunuch named Xiao Dingzi showed a hint of smugness on his face, turned around, and returned to report after a while: "Back to the emperor, King Wei, King Han, King Teng, King Hejian, Duke Shen, Duke Song, Duke Cao...... Six Shangshu, a total of nearly 100 princes and ministers waited for the prince to meet in the Mingde Palace. ”

The more Yang Jian listened, the more his face sank, and he asked left and right unhappily: "What kind of etiquette is this for the internal and external court officials to worship the East Palace together?" ”

At this time, in addition to the eunuchs, there were four ministers around Yang Jian, Feng Deyi, the inner Shi Sheren, Liu Shu, the squire of the military department, Xin Kang, Taichang Shaoqing, and Wang Shao, the waiter of the Wai Cavalry, Liu Shu was displeased with Yang Jian because of Shi Wansui's first visit to the East Palace some time ago, and he did not dare to intervene, and Taichang Shaoqing Xin Kang had to say euphemistically: "Your Majesty, today is the winter solstice festival, and the hundred officials go to the East Palace to congratulate the festival, which cannot be regarded as worship." Drunken Dew Academy"

After listening to Xin Yan's explanation, Yang Jian was silent for a moment before he said to himself: "If it is a congratulatory festival, or a few people, at most a dozen people go together, why do all the officials gather together?" ”

Liu Shu and Xin Jian were speechless for a while, Wang Shao looked at Yang Jian's face and felt inappropriate, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said with self-esteem: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Weichen go and see, what are the princes and ministers doing?" ”

Yang Jian nodded, Wang Shao hurriedly turned around and walked in the direction of the East Palace, Wang Shao's full-time job is to write the emperor's living notes, and the officials who originally wrote the living notes were often disliked by the emperor, because their duties were nothing to do

The emperor's words and deeds, even if the emperor is unwilling, he can't, in this way, the relationship between work offends the emperor, but Wang Shao is good at patting on the back, often saying that the emperor has the appearance of a dragon face and wearing a dry appearance, and instructed the ministers to watch, so that Yang Jian is happy, Wang Shao naturally also won the emperor's trust.

When Wang Shao rushed to the Mingde Palace, the ministers had received the news that the prince was infected with the wind and cold, and after the persuasion of King Wei and King Han, they were leaving one after another, Wang Shao hurriedly grabbed a familiar official and asked what happened just now?

The official didn't hide it, and directly said that he would congratulate the prince, but the prince was infected with the cold and refused to accept guests, Wang Shao asked without giving up: "You really just congratulate the prince on the festival, and have no other intentions?" ”

The official said impatiently: "Lord Wang, the prince is the prince, and the ministers should congratulate the prince on the festival, if you don't believe it, then you might as well ask the king of Wei and the princes of Han." ”

Of course, Wang Shao didn't dare to ask Yang Shuang and the others, and when everyone dispersed, the Mingde Hall quieted down again, and Wang Shao had no choice but to return in a huff, he didn't get any shocking news this time, the prince is the prince, even if Wang Shao wanted to please the emperor, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to tell the truth about what he saw.

"The prince has a wind chill?" The doubts in Yang Jian's heart did not disappear, although the prince is the prince, only the emperor can accept the worship of the ministers, if the prince receives the ministers, he will definitely be very uncomfortable in his heart, I am not dead yet, what are you anxious about, but if the prince has no ghost in his heart, why do you have to pretend to be sick and not see?

The sky darkened, in the Lizheng hall, the candle flame was swaying, more than a dozen palace maids shuttled back and forth, and the hall was arranged magnificently, among which a row of long tables was full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Yuan Qing'er, Yun Mei'er, and Xing'er were seated in their respective positions, and from time to time they looked at the empty position in the middle with their eyes, and that position was of course reserved for Yang Yong to sit.

Yang Yan, Yang Yu, and Yang Ge also had their own positions, they straightened their chests, like adults, and waited silently on the side, while Yang Yan and Yang Lan The two little princesses disappeared.

With a squeak, the side door opened, Yang Yan and Yang Lan appeared in the hall, Yuan Qing'er and the others hurriedly looked behind them, and saw that they were empty behind them, and their faces showed disappointed expressions.

"What, your father is still in the study?" Yun Mei'er couldn't help but ask.

"Back to my mother, not only my father is here, but also Lord Zhang Qiu, Lord Fang, Lord Lu, and Lord Li, none of them have gone back?" Yang Lan replied in a crisp voice.

Yuan Qing'er and the three of them all smiled bitterly, since hearing the news of the arrival of King Han in the afternoon, Yang Yong has not returned to the Lizheng Palace, now that dinner has passed, Yang Yong has not yet gotten out, seeing that the steaming meal is cold, everyone can only wait hungry.

Yuan Qing'er waved her hand: "Go, take down the meal, and order the kitchen to do it again." ”

"Yes." The surrounding palace maids suddenly became busy.

In Yang Yong's study, the huge candle emitted a bright light, illuminating the entire study as bright as day, and Li Gang, Lu Mulin, Fang Yanqian, and Zhang Qiu Taiyi all sat around with serious expressions on their faces.

Today, hundreds of officials intentionally or unintentionally gathered together to pay respects to the East Palace, on the surface it was the officials who came spontaneously, in fact, how could there be such a coincidence, Yang Yong had ordered Yang Shi to quietly ask a few familiar officials, only to know that the ministers were about to go home after the emperor and the empress, and suddenly an official in the middle proposed: "Princes, the prince is the prince, today is the winter solstice festival, why not congratulate the prince together?" ”

As soon as this statement was put forward, all the officials immediately spread it by word of mouth, although some people in the middle realized that it was inappropriate, but no one dared to lag behind, and finally even a few princes followed, as for who the first official was to propose, no one knew.

If Yang Yong thinks that the festival of the hundred officials is a matter of course, put out the ceremonial music, and the guard of honor comes to greet him, I am afraid that if he does not wait until the end of the court vacation, there will be an imperial envoy impeachment, saying that the official who proposed it is just unintentional, it is really unreasonable, and now although Yang Yong pretended to be sick and hidden, it is difficult to say that the emperor will have no ideas.

Li Gang, Lu Mulin, Fang Yanqian, and Zhang Qiu Taiyi had already returned home, and Yang Yong had to send someone to invite them into the East Palace to discuss how to minimize the impact of this matter.
