Zhao Wenhua's eager appearance, as if Yan Song was his biological father, even Yan Shifan was frightened.

Xia Yan and the others on the other side watched Yan Song fall to the ground in amazement, and they were also worried in their hearts. At this time, several lieutenants stepped forward and hurriedly lifted Yan Song up and sent him to the Tai Hospital for treatment, and Yan Shifan naturally left the front court temporarily with the group.

But the doors of the temple were opened.

Huang Jin stood outside the door and shouted: "Xuan, all the ministers enter the palace!" ”

Huang Jin's voice is loud, his face is ruddy, his demeanor is calm and generous, three points of humility and seven points of self-control, compared to the demeanor of the ministers, it is no wonder that he will be favored by Sejong for many years.

A little episode just now made the ministers think about it in their hearts, and they entered the hall in turn according to their grades.

Zhu Houxi was dressed in a cyan robe, wearing a crown of fragrant leaves, holding a delicate copper hammer, and knocked seven times on the copper chime, and Qingyue's voice echoed in the main hall, and slowly paced out of the back hall.

This elegant demeanor, with a kind and intimate smile on his face, is like a Taoist priest, like an ordinary housekeeper.

However, hidden under the skin, it is unknown ruthlessness and majesty, which belongs to the emperor alone, and there is no other family.

The next ministers bowed their hands one after another: "Your Majesty Holy Ann." ”

Zhu Houxi sat indifferently on the dragon seat in the middle, holding the lifelike dragon head with one hand, and playing with the small copper hammer with the other, and said with a smile: "It's all the humerus of the country, what are you talking about." ”

Huang Jin arched his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty, it was Yan Shangshu who came over, and only shouted a few times outside. ”

"Huh." Zhu Houxi smiled: "He is... Is it a disease or an unpredictable prophet? ”

Huang Jin pursed his lips and said, "It's not good to say." ”

Zhu Houxi's face slowly froze, a pair of indifferent eyes suddenly froze, raised his finger to point at Qin Fu, and then pointed at Xia Yan and said: "You still have a cabinet in the East Factory, it's time to rectify it." ”

Qin Fu and Xia Yan bowed their heads in the same way, and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houxi snorted coldly, completely ignoring Fang Cai's smile, Leng Sensen's gaze swept over the two, raised his hand, handed the copper hammer to Huang Jin, and continued: "I heard that there are some displaced people in Shanxi Province, has anyone received a recital from the Yamen of Shanxi Chengxuan's Political Division?" What's going on? ”

Qu Luan arched his hand and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I only received a recital from Li Qingqiu early this morning, saying that Datong Mansion was attacked by the Northern Captives a year ago, resulting in the displacement of the people, and Shanxi lost more than 3.5 million taels of silver. ”

"Datong Mansion Mutiny?" Zhu Houxi's eyes turned slightly, glanced at the brocade guard behind him, seemed to smile, and then his eyes changed to an awe-inspiring cannon: "Why did the incident of the year ago only go to the imperial court?" What about the capital guards in Datong Province? Who is Li Qingqiu harboring? ”

Shen Liangcai took a step forward in the matter, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, a few years ago, Qiu Luan, the chief soldier of Datong, said that he strangled a total of more than 2,700 people in Beiyu Dongyi last year. ”

Hair bundled?

The northern and eastern Yi are all horse peoples, most of them are braided or shaved heads, and only Han people can tie their hair!

This Qiu Luan dared to ask for credit for the Han people as the northern captives and Dongyi?

All the ministers thought that Zhu Houxi would be angry, and everyone was silent, eager to stop breathing, so as not to be affected, and everyone understood why Yan Song fainted.

Zhu Houxi looked at Shen Liangcai without blinking, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

Shen Liangcai didn't raise his head, and replied: "After investigation, Qiu Luan privately divided the ownerless land and turned it into his own, and sent the soldiers under his rule to plough the fields, so that the soldiers had no combat power, and when they responded to the war, they did not report many casualties and still ate empty salaries. The northern captive with the bundle of hair is the Ming soldier who died and did not report! ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes shrank slightly, and he asked again: "Qiu Luan is so bold, why is the official department unaware?" ”

No one thought that Zhu Houxi would say such a thing, instead of asking about the guilt and hatred, but first asking about the guilt of the officials, could it be that it was in the face of Yan Shangshu?

At this time, Yan Shifan had already rushed back from the Tai Hospital, and when he heard this passage outside the door, he suddenly had a foundation in his heart. Completely forgot Fang Cai's father's entrustment, His Majesty's heart is towards the Yan family, why should he bow down to those old horsemen?

He stood quietly outside the door and smiled, and walked into the door of the hall with his eyes not squinting, only looking down at Zhu Houxi, and bowing down.

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty." He was accustomed to smiling with a smile on his face, and when he said this, just like his handsome and dashing appearance, his tone was subdued and frustrated, and his voice was crisp.

Zhu Houxi waved his hand slightly and said, "How about Fenyi?" ”

Yan Song's hometown is in Jiangxi, and Zhu Houxi is a nickname to express closeness.

Yan Shifan said: "The imperial doctor said that my father was sick from hard work and needed to rest on the couch for some time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houxi's face changed. As his complexion changed, Yan Shifan took out a green word from his sleeve, and the elegant small characters written with vermilion paint on the green rattan paper sprinkled thousands of words, making people look pleasing to the eye.

This business has not been discussed yet, who will Yan Shifan's coy attitude show to him!

Xia Yan was angry in his chest, and his face changed and he was about to get angry.

Qu Luan, who was on his side, saw that the situation was not good, because the long wings on both sides of the crown blocked it, and it was difficult to contact each other, so he only coughed lightly.

Xia Yan's chest rose and fell rapidly, his face was flushed, he forced his breath, and lowered his head.

yes, it's changed a long time ago.

The era of honoring scholars has passed.

Today's scholars, no matter how much you read poetry and books, how high you are in a high position, as long as Your Majesty is displeased, you can be pushed outside the Zuoshun Gate to be punished.

It's long since changed.

Your Majesty is no longer the hard-working teenager he used to be.

He himself is no longer in the emperor's heart.

yes, it's changed a long time ago.

Xia Yan hung his head, feeling as if he was being burned, his eyes were dry and dry, he couldn't cry but couldn't suppress this evil breath.

He, Xia Yan, the only minister, is upright. Everything, starting today, is changing.

Yan Shifan, who was not far away, shook his sleeves, presented the green rattan paper with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is the green word that my father only completed last night, please serve it to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes narrowed, tilted his body, and asked lightly: "Donglou, have you ever practiced filial piety?" ”

Yan Shifan was an official from the Guozijian family, and although he did not pass the imperial examination, his academic talent was no less than that of the students in front of the palace. And the Book of Filial Piety is a textbook for children to memorize.

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shifan's expression, who was still a little proud, changed slightly, and then, he knelt on the ground in fear: "Husband and filial piety, the foundation of virtue, and the origin of teaching." ”

Zhu Houxi looked at him quietly, and for a while, the hall fell silent again, and everyone's hearts were going up and down, waiting for Shizong to follow.
