Chapter 373: The Palace's Fury

Hearing this shout, the people in the court who were still shocked by the news of 'the soldiers entering the city' were even more surprised, they had already said that they were retreating from the court, why are there still people shouting at the court here.

However, those who turned back in amazement immediately saw Emperor Jiajing, who had not shown up for more than ten days, and some civil officials were immediately stunned there, and the few eunuchs who ran into the palace in a panic were also stunned and opened their mouths. Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was overjoyed, after all, he saw the emperor go to court.

Immediately said loudly:

"Weichen Yan Song, long live my emperor!"

The emperor is the head of all people, the master of the world, in this era, not only the greatest power, but also the spiritual pillar of many people. Many people reacted and knelt down together.

The mood in the entire Golden Palace suddenly settled down, and under the leadership of Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he bowed three times and bowed nine times. When Huang Jin, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, saw Jiajing, his first reaction was quite happy, thinking that the emperor had finally gone to the court to deal with political affairs, if he didn't deal with it, I am afraid that in many years, some people would say that the eunuchs would mess with the government and have a bad reputation for some reason. However, Huang Jin's years of political experience formed an intuition, and he felt very bad almost instantly, and cold sweat was inexplicably flowing down.

He saw the kind of smile that he hadn't seen for a long time on the face of Emperor Jiajing, this kind of smile Huang Jin was very familiar with, during the Great Gift Case, he knew that the courtiers were crying outside the noon gate, and before they were about to mobilize the Jinyi Guards to carry out the court staff, the emperor's face was also this kind of ironic smile.

"Rise up......

Without waiting for the eunuchs on the side to shout, the emperor opened his mouth first, and at this time, Liao Quanjun, the secretary of the military department, nervously came out of the column and said:

"Your Majesty, these officials just said that it was the army entering the city, or should they quickly ask right and wrong, and know the matter."

Everyone naturally nodded to this opinion, and those few internal officials were already flashing aside when the hundred officials visited the shrine, and now when they mentioned it, everyone's eyes were focused on the past and watching, several military ministers were a little anxious, and they didn't care about any loss of honor in front of the king, and at this kind of critical moment, the imperial history and the officials in charge of etiquette would not be so blind.

"What the hell are the soldiers and horses there, you can tell ...... quickly"

"Please also ask the saint to move, the body of ten thousand gold should not be neglected......"

The court was chattering there, speaking of which, the current ministers have rarely considered the emperor's own plans, and Li Baobin, the governor of the same place, was originally stationed outside the city to lead the twelve regiments and battalions, but today he checked with the military department, so when he entered Beijing, he was also qualified to participate in the court meeting.

At this time, he was there to ask in detail about the appearance of the so-called army entering Beijing, and those eunuchs had seen some soldiers rushing over with knives and guns from a distance, and they didn't look carefully, at most they could barely see the banner clearly. But what he said was enough for the generals who had been in charge of the army for generations.

Li Baobin was originally born as a minister, and the various routines and coping methods in the court and politics can be regarded as cunning and cunning, although he muttered in his heart: 'Isn't this what Qin Jun looks like', but he made a blank look on his face, rubbed his chin with his hand, looked thoughtful, and didn't say anything.

Before he could say anything, Emperor Jiajing in the palace did not have the slightest emperor's demeanor to explain:

"Whose soldiers and horses did I come until now?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, Huang Jin peeked at Lu Bing, who was standing in the generals' team, but had not said anything, and found that Lu Bing's face was full of calm looks, as if he was very calm, Huang Jin was a little relieved, but from this distance, it was obvious that he couldn't find that the corners of Lu Bing's eyes twitched slightly.

The emperor said half of the words and did not continue to explain, because there was no need to explain, Zhou Lin, who was dressed in military uniform, strode up to the hall under the escort of several personal soldiers, the fierce spirit accumulated by the Qin army for many years of conquest is not comparable to these soldiers who are used to living a peaceful life in Beijing, and the faces of the ministers in the palace have changed, and no one dares to stop it for a while.

On the contrary, Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was standing at the top, peeked at Jiajing, and after seeing the emperor's face, Yan Song was already in his early fifties at this time, and he was still standing in the hall quickly, pointing at Zhou Lin and shouting:

"Bold fanatics, seeing the Holy One is still like this......"

Before the words fell, he saw that Zhou Lin and his own soldiers had already knelt down towards Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song's heart was suddenly until he guessed correctly, but he made a stunned look and was stunned.

Jiajing, who was on the throne, saw Yan Song's performance, and his face suddenly showed an approving look, and he nodded slightly, but Zhou Lin over there leaned over to the ground, made a full set of etiquette, and said loudly:

"Yan Sui is guarding the deputy chief soldier Zhou Lin, long live my emperor, long live my majesty, the things arranged by His Majesty, the ministers have already done it, fortunately not disgraced."

Emperor Jiajing, who has always been gentle and elegant in the court, quietly listening to the courtiers' arguments, and has not argued with the cabinet for nearly a year, suddenly laughed 'haha' from his seat, and his laughter became louder and louder, Jiajing's health was not good, so he was rarely excited.

So in the impression of the ministers and internal officials, the emperor rarely has any emotional actions, and has always been quite indifferent, but at this time, I saw that the emperor laughed from the normal haha, the laughter became louder and louder, and gradually turned into wild laughter, and tears were left, and the halls were all at the top of the Ming Empire, and they usually faced the world with a very solemn image, but at this time they were all at a loss, looking at the emperor who looked like a mad man on his seat.

At this time, Xia Yan, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, was the first assistant, Xia Yan was slow to react to things, and when the Qin army entered the city, the emperor suddenly went to court and something like that, he was stunned there and didn't react, until now the emperor laughed wildly in his seat, and he could be regarded as reacting.

However, everything has already been seized by Yan Song, Xia Yan cleared his throat, and said with a straight expression:

"Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing didn't seem to hear it, and continued to laugh loudly there, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have always been unkind to the emperor, looking at the emperor's gaffe, the civil officials in the court suddenly showed a look of displeasure, and Xia Yan raised his voice a little:

"Holy Lord!!"

The laughter stopped under the violent coughing, at this time, several eunuchs on the side of the dragon chair dared to go over to serve, they were also frightened and did not dare to move, Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhou Lin, the deputy chief soldier of Yansui who was still kneeling there, when the Xingxian palace was in Jiajing for three years, even the people who poured the toilet in the palace were already officials above the seventh grade, and now, many people are party members, or important ministers of the center.

Zhou Lin, the deputy chief soldier of Yansui below, was not liked among the generals in the palace at that time, so there was no good place for him to be an official, and he was a military general in a place like Yansui, Shaanxi, where he killed and killed each other with the Tartar soldiers all day long, including Hu Zongren, the prefect of Xi'an, and the eunuchs Rui Xiaosan and Tian Xin, who went to pass the decree to receive them, these people are not the most cronies among the old people in the Qiandi, and it can even be said that they are alienated, but this time they mainly rely on them.

But what about the people who are the most trustworthy of himself, Jiajing, who has calmed down, ignored Xia Yan and a cadre of Wenchen below, but turned his attention to Huang Jin, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch standing in the crowd, Huang Jin, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, is the internal minister, extremely powerful, and both inside and outside the court are big people who want to give three points of courtesy, but this time they did not stand by the emperor's side according to the rules, but stood among the ministers.

Now Huang Jin's face was pale, as if he was hiding from something, Jiajing's heart suddenly felt extremely happy, as Jiajing calmed down, the court gradually became silent, everyone followed the emperor's gaze, hoping to find something from it.

Some people Emperor Jiajing just swept by and didn't pay too much attention, and some people were watched for a long time, and they were always there pretending to be looking at their noses, and Yan Song, who was looking at his nose and heart, had actually been paying attention to the emperor's sight, and he found that Emperor Jiajing was mostly looking at some nobles and some old ministers.

These people actually have a commonality, the ministers in the court have been red for a long time, and they all have a cash cow in their hands, and the name of the cash cow is "Jingshi Business Group".

"Huang Jin has worked hard for me for so many years, it's time to take a break."

After the uncomfortable silence, Emperor Jiajing's leisurely words sounded in the hall, Huang Jin was full of excitement, and hurriedly walked out of the crowd and knelt down, and could see that the back of the great eunuch Huang Jin was completely soaked with sweat, just kneeling there without speaking.

"The imperial court doesn't care about the silver for the elderly, and Huang Gonggong can have a huge industry outside the customs, and he can go out of the customs to provide for the elderly."

Although everyone doesn't know what the situation is outside the gate now, but the emperor's disposition is undoubtedly already a sentence of exile, and the common practice of the Ming Dynasty is to kill ...... on the road of exile, Huang Jin didn't dare to say anything, just kowtowed there. The eunuch was originally the minister of the Son of Heaven, and naturally no minister was willing to intervene in the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, but the next words were moved by everyone.

"I have been with Lu Qing's family since childhood, and I can't bear to see Lu Qing's family work so hard, so let's go home and rest!"

Although the sentence was relaxed, his face was calm, Lu Bing's performance over there was much more normal than Huang Jin's, but his face, which had always been full of red light, suddenly became much grayer, Lu Bing came out and knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace......"

Although he was calm, his voice was still a little trembling, looking at the emperor's disposition, the ministers in the court finally couldn't maintain their composure, and there was a slight commotion.

However, the guards inside and outside the palace have been changed, and the soldiers of the Qin army, who are not so decently dressed, have replaced those glamorous Han generals and guards, and these ministers all understand in their hearts that since Zhou Lin, the deputy general of Yansui, entered the Forbidden City unharmed, it means that the defense of the entire capital has been taken over by the Qin army.

When the adjutant general of the Imperial Horse Prison Army and the eunuch Tian Xin appeared here, everyone recognized the situation very clearly.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, several lords and civil officials suddenly ran out of the crowd, lying behind Huang Jin and Lu Bing and kowtowing repeatedly, although the Ming Dynasty is an absolute imperial power, but the power of the civil and official system and the honorable system is also very large, even if the emperor is a little jealous, there are very few cases of tearing faces, and there will be no such scene where courtiers seem to be civilians in the yamen.

The complete servile and the kneeling there kowtowed heavily and begged for mercy, it has been a scene that has not been seen for many years, the so-called courtiers and doctors are all gone at this time, and the ministers in the court see these people, no matter how slow the reaction is, they understand what is going on, everyone's hearts are worried, because there are some things that everyone is more or less helping, but it is Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, whose expression is quite serious, but he is a little happy in his heart. Yan Song's career was when he went to Hubei to sweep the grave a year ago.

This tomb is the cemetery of Jiajing's parents, after returning to Beijing, Yan Songkou said that the cemetery has all kinds of auspicious images, so that Emperor Jiajing is very happy, this is slowly starting up, although Yan Song before this is known as a capable minister, but there will be no important duties at all, naturally there is no opportunity to share fat, that day looking at the Beijing business group behind the noble fortune eyes red.

I didn't expect that at this time, I could watch the excitement from the side and get out of the way, and after this turmoil, Yan Song estimated that he might still have to go to the next level.

"These ministers are all loyal ministers, some time ago when I was worried about taxes, several secretaries of the family were trying their best to say that the official family should not compete with the people for profit, so far few people think of these words, they feel that they are really loyal."

Who below dared to answer, just listening to Jiajing's self-care there, obviously the grievances that had been accumulated for more than a year were vented at this time, and the emperor continued to say leisurely there:

"Don't compete with the people for profit, these words made the widow ashamed and landless, the court had no money, and the officers and soldiers in the border towns couldn't even buy clothes, armor, grain and grass, and what to talk about protecting the family and defending the land, if the Tartars entered the customs, do you want to give this profit to the Tartars!"

The tone was suddenly stern, and Emperor Jiajing suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, trembling and pointing at the ministers below and scolding angrily:

"For this benefit, you have turned me into a deaf and blind man!!"

No one in the entire hall dared to continue to stand there, and they suddenly fell to their knees......
