When the executioner on the execution ground was in place, a group of civil officials wearing filial piety clothes came to Hula outside the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, led by Zuo Guangdou, the left deputy capital Yushi Guangdou and Like Zuo

Seeing this, the hundred households guarding the door hurriedly turned sideways to block their way, and before that, he had not received an order from so many officials to enter the palace.

"I'll go to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters." Zuo Guangdou stepped forward and quietly handed an official document stamped with the cabinet seal to the hundred households and said.

The hundred households were immediately surprised when they heard this, the cabinet had never summoned so many people to Wenyuan Pavilion at one time before.

"Lord Zuo, we haven't received a communication from Wenyuan Pavilion yet, and we have to ask Wenyuan Pavilion for verification before we can enlarge people to enter." However, after the inspection of the hundred households, the official document presented by Zuo Guangdou was indeed from His Excellency Wen Yuan, so he bowed down and said after returning the official document to Zuo Guangdou.

The Forbidden City is heavily guarded, it is very difficult to enter and exit, according to the custom, outsiders entering the Forbidden City must not only have a certificate to enter the palace, but also the relevant institutions in the Forbidden City must notify the officials on duty at the palace gate in advance for the record, only in this way the officials on duty at the palace gate will be released.

Now Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian and the others only have a summons letter from the cabinet, but the cabinet has not filed it with the officials on duty at Donghua Gate in advance, so the hundred households can't put them in, otherwise they will commit a felony, you know that the Forbidden City can be easily entered?

In the attack case, all the pro-army sergeants who were on duty at Donghua Gate at that time were severely punished, and they were all assigned to the frontier to fill the army, so many people actually let a person with a wooden stick break in, it is really an unforgivable crime, how can Emperor Wanli expect them to guard the palace?

Of course, it is unknown whether there is a hidden secret in this, because Emperor Wanli has no intention of investigating deeply, and it has become a major unsolved case in history.

Zuo Guangdou naturally knew the rules for entering and exiting the Forbidden City, so he didn't argue anything, but stood there and looked quietly into the Donghua Gate, and the corners of his mouth immediately showed a subtle smile: A young civil official wearing an unqualified official uniform was hurrying towards the Donghua Gate from a distance.

"This is the Cabinet post, you check it." Soon, the young civil official walked quickly to the Donghua Gate and handed an official document stamped with the cabinet seal in his hand to the hundred households on duty.

The content of the official document is to summon Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian and others to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters, which is consistent with the content of the official document that Zuo Guangdou held before, but this official document should be kept in Donghuamen for the record for future inspection.

"Lord Zuo, please!"

After verifying the authenticity of the official document, the hundred households hesitated, got out of the way, and made a gesture of invitation to Zuo Guangdou, although he felt that things were very strange, but because Zuo Guangdou had complete procedures, he could only let go, but he was ready to report to his boss in private.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please!"

The young civil official bowed down and led Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian and others into the Donghua Gate, and the people who entered the palace this time were all core officials of the Donglin Party, either Yan Guan or important officials of the yamen of various ministries and institutes, and he did not even have an official rank now, so he naturally had to be cautious about these court officials.

There is only one kind of person in the Forbidden City who has no official rank but wears the official uniform of civil officials, this kind of person has a pivotal role in the court of the Ming Dynasty, they are an extremely special and noble group in the Ming officialdom, that is, "Shu Jishi".

In order to enrich the ranks of Hanlin, but also to give those outstanding scholars the hope of becoming Hanlin, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty deliberately lowered his grace and created the Shujishi system.

According to the regulations, the top 20 of the second and third grades of each branch of the palace examination can participate in the examination of the Shujishi, and those who pass the examination become the Shujishi, and study in the Wenyuan Pavilion for three years, during which they must not only be taught by the Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Academy, but also have to do things in the Wenyuan Pavilion, such as explaining the scriptures and writing holy decrees to the emperor and princes, etc.

Obviously, the people who can become the Shu Ji Shi are the best in each subject, and compared with the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua of the first class in the palace examination, the Shu Ji Shi are much more sleek and flexible, so their achievements in the officialdom are often higher than the three Ding Jia in the same period.

After three years of training in Wenyuan Pavilion, the Shu Ji Shi had to be promoted to the Shu Ji Shi assessment, and those who passed the assessment became the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and the losers were assigned to serve in the major yamen in the capital.

Compared with ordinary jinshi, jinshi with the experience of Shujishi were promoted faster and held higher positions in the court.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Shujishi is not an official position of the imperial court, but just a title for the transition to Hanlin, so the Shujishi have no official rank.

"Lord Zuo, Lord Yang, He Ge Lao and Liu Ge Lao are on duty in the Guande Palace, Han Ge Lao was sent to the Qianqing Palace by the queen mother early in the morning, and the lower officials were instructed to take all the adults to Qianqing Gate."

After leaving Donghua Gate for some distance, the young official who was leading the way in front bowed down and whispered to Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian beside him.

There are four people in the cabinet now, in addition to Fang Congzhe, they are He Zongyan, Liu Yixiao and Han Yi, so the three cabinet elders in the young official's mouth naturally refer to He Zongyan and other three Donglin Party bigwigs.

"Baehyun, how is the situation in the palace?" Yang Lian couldn't help but ask when he heard this, his expression was extremely serious.

"It's calm." The young official known as "Boxian" bowed down and said in a deep voice, "The student slipped out of Wenyuan Pavilion quietly, and the others didn't know the student's whereabouts. ”

"Good." Yang Lian frowned slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

The Shuji in the Wenyuan Pavilion came from various factions in the imperial court, and once today's matter was leaked, then the people of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang would definitely come to obstruct it, and in that case, things would not be good.

In fact, when Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou led a group of important members of the Donglin Party to Donghuamen, they had aroused the vigilance of the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang along the way.

Dry the door.

In this matter, the military attache on duty at the Qianqing Gate was a sturdy hundred households of Long Xiangwei, and because it was almost the time of the noon shift, he and several military attachés gathered in the door of the Qianqing Gate to discuss going to the restaurant in the capital to drink after the shift.

"My lord, there are a lot of civil officials from outside, and it seems that they are going to clear our door." Just as the stout Baihu and the others were chatting happily, a soldier trotted over and said with a nervous expression.

"A lot of civil servants?" Hearing this, the stout Baihu frowned slightly, he checked today's record, and the palace did not summon civil officials to meet him, and he had not heard that civil officials were going to make trouble recently, so this situation was very abnormal.

"Big brother, the one who came is not good, there is a chance that the ** is here to find trouble." At this time, a military attache couldn't help but say in a deep voice when he saw this, "Those civil officials are purely fed, and they always have to do something to live comfortably!" ”

"It's unfortunate to have this kind of moth on this knot!"

Hearing this, the stout hundred households couldn't help but scold, turned around and led the military attaches to check, and after a while, they would have to take shifts, so that they could push the trouble in front of them to the people who changed shifts, those civil officials who had read books for a few days had a stinky and hard personality, and at the same time looked down on the soldiers, he didn't want to deal with those guys.

"Lord Zuo, Lord Yang, why did you come here this time?"

When he got out of the doorway, the stout hundred households saw the civil officials who were walking quickly at a glance, and his face suddenly showed a gloomy look, he naturally recognized the identities of the two leading officials, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face, and asked hard.

The two most difficult officials in the court are Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, especially Yang Lian, who belongs to a tendon character, with a stubborn and stubborn personality, once he recognizes the matter, the eight cows can't pull it back, and the thing that knelt to the sick Emperor Taichang outside the Qianqing Gate at that time was the head of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, and Emperor Taichang was helpless about it.

Therefore, the stout Baihu didn't want to provoke Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, and if they were entangled by the two, they would have to shed their skin if they didn't die.

"I'm going to go to the Qianqing Palace to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" Zuo Guangdou glanced at the sturdy hundred, and said to him quietly.

"This ......" Zhuang Shibaihu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then showed a look of embarrassment, bowed solemnly to Zuo Guangdou and said, "Lord Zuo, the lower officials have not yet received the news from the palace, dare to ask Lord Zuo if he has the will of the queen or the crown prince?" ”

"Will!"

Yang Lian immediately sneered when he heard this, stepped forward and glared at the strong hundred households and said, "The emperor is dead, and the heir is young, so you will block the palace gate and prevent me from entering, intending to rebel?" ”

"Lord Yang is serious, the lower officials are just acting according to the rules, and they have nothing to do with rebellion!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Shibaihu suddenly smiled bitterly, the thing he was most worried about was inevitable, and the civil officials in the court were best at charging people with indiscriminate charges, but he had long been used to this kind of thing, so he said to Yang Lian seriously, "If you adults want to enter the palace, the lower officials can let people go to the Qianqing Palace to report." ”

Compared with the crime in Yang Lian's mouth, the strong hundred households are actually more afraid of the responsibility they have to bear if they are put in the harem, and no emperor wants the harem where he lives to be broken into, and he will be unable to escape the blame at that time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the queen is in power, the prince is under house arrest in the Qianqing Palace, how can I, as a Ming courtier, sit idly by!"

Zuo Guangdou frowned when he heard this, it was obvious that Empress Li would not meet them, and in this way, their affairs would be exposed, so Empress Li would be prepared, so he turned around and shouted at the officials behind him, "The time has come for us to be loyal to the king, everyone rush in with me and rescue the prince!" ”

Saying that, Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian took the lead in rushing towards the strong Baihu, wanting to forcibly break into the Qianqing Gate.

Seeing this, the Donglin Party officials at the scene were immediately excited, and they shouted and rushed forward with the two, one by one, they were in high spirits, you must know that the history of the Ming officialdom is unprecedented in breaking into the harem, and once they succeed, they will go down in history and be admired and admired by the world.
