Although the officialdom of the entire capital is agitated, the most restless is the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Because the Imperial Procuratorate is the imperial history, it is their duty to advise the emperor!

Now that the emperor is going to take a personal expedition, this thing is really too confusing and unreliable, after knowing the news, the imperial historians of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate are like chicken blood in an instant!

The imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate blushed and howled and discussed, and one of the imperial historians shouted: "What are you waiting for, hurry up and write a book to the emperor, and you must advise the emperor to dispel the idea of the imperial conquest!" ”

"Yes, I must state the tragedy of the Tumu Fort Incident back then, so that the emperor can realize how dangerous this imperial expedition is! What a danger to the country! ”

The surrounding imperial historians responded one after another, and they were all ready to go back and write excerpts! At this time, a royal historian who had always been a little silent said in a deep voice: "King Ning rebelled, the military situation is urgent, and now the imperial court is about to send troops!" We're too slow to get on the fold! It's going to be a big mistake! ”

"This, but it's also true, isn't it possible to write an excerpt yet?" "That's right, so what to do?"

The imperial historian said word by word with a heavy face: "Kneel at the noon gate!" ”

These words are like a kind of magic, which makes the whole scene quiet in an instant! Kneel at the noon gate, this is the most violent means of exhorting the emperor! The last time the noon gate knelt down occurred in the first year of Zhengde, the ministers knelt at the noon gate, please punish the eight tigers!

But the final outcome was not good, not only did the Eight Tigers successfully turn the tables, but also let the Eight Tigers steal a high position, and Liu Jin even sat on the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and seals, and since then he has opened the road to eunuchhood! Disaster to the country and the people did all kinds of evil, and began to take revenge on the courtiers in a bloody way!

"Why are you all scared? The imperial history is the backbone of the country, the country's soldiers, and the righteous death, this is the duty of the imperial history! At a time when the country is in danger, how can you die, and you should die! If you don't go, I'll go alone! The Imperial Historian said generously.

"What a country raises soldiers, fights righteousness and dies, and dies as it deserves! Kneel down at noon, count me in! Another imperial historian said angrily.

So more imperial histories followed suit, and as more and more imperial histories began to respond, even the imperial histories who were unwilling to take risks had to respond.

The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the first to drive to the noon gate, and the rest of the yamen got the news one after another, and the first to make noise was the six ministries to give the matter, and they were all speech officials like the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and they were called the officials of the Dao Language. Now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has taken the lead, the six departments are naturally unwilling to fall behind the imperial history!

So these officials of the six ministries were agitated one after another, and after the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to the noon gate, the officials of the various yamen also came one after another to join the team of kneeling at the noon gate!

The officials knelt in front of the noon gate, and the momentum was extremely terrifying, and some officials came to join one after another. The guards at the noon gate all became extremely nervous, and although they didn't know where these officials came from, it was clear that they were kneeling.

This is the most violent method, almost risking his life to admonish the emperor. The last time a large-scale noon gate kneeling was the incident of the famous Jingshi asking for the Eight Tigers, that time I don't know how many officials were crippled by Liu Jin's cane, and I don't know how many officials died unjustly and were in prison!

In short, once the noon kneeling happens, it must be a big event that shocks the government and the opposition! So although these guards knew that it was impossible for these civil officials to storm the palace gate, they still felt inexplicably nervous! The atmosphere of the entire noon gate became extremely solemn, like the oppressive suffocation feeling of black clouds crushing the city in the coming rainstorm!

The important ministers in the Wenyuan Pavilion on duty didn't know about the upcoming storm, and they were still thinking about how to persuade the emperor to change his mind and dispel the idea of driving the expedition in person!

They are all important ministers of the imperial court, they have been in high positions for many years, and they have ways in and out of the palace! Besides, the palace is like a huge sieve, and it is difficult to keep any secrets! Several important ministers got the news they wanted through their own channels!

It's not Zhang Zhijie who is making trouble! It turned out to be just a eunuch! And it's not Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng, Gu Dayong and other big eunuchs, it's just a low-level eunuch who has just entered the Qianqing Palace! It's really an ambitious leopard guts!

"This gelding is such a big dog! I don't know how to instigate the emperor to drive the expedition in person, this is simply Wang Zhen who is alive, such a traitor really deserves to be killed, how can he stay by the emperor's side? The military department Shangshu had a hot temper and scolded angrily.

Fortunately, fortunately, this is really the best situation, neither the emperor instigated by Zhang Zhijie, nor the emperor instigated by Zhang Yong and several other big eunuchs, nor the emperor himself gave birth to this kind of thought!

The military department Shangshu took the lead in standing up and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go and persuade the emperor together!" ”

The two scholars took the three scholars out of the duty room, and after walking two steps, they saw that the secretary of the ministry, the criminal department, and the ministry of work were striding towards him, and the look on his face was extremely solemn.

Li Dongyang was the first to speak: "You also know the news? ”

"Pavilion Elder, does the emperor really plan to drive the expedition in person?" The official Shangshu asked in a deep voice, he still had a trace of luck in his heart!

"Not bad! The emperor said it to me personally! I persuaded the emperor bitterly, what can I do, alas! I'm about to go and advise the emperor again, so why don't you come along? Li Dongyang said in a deep voice.

"It's not just that we know, it's known to everyone for a long time, and now the situation has long been out of control!" The imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sighed.

Li Dongyang's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Why is it out of control?" ”

"Kneel at noon!" The official department sighed.

This is the last thing these important ministers want to see, because this is the most disgusting means for the emperor! They really don't want to see this most violent method until they have tried it! Because it will anger the emperor and make the emperor feel that everyone is against the emperor!

But at this time, the courtiers were in a bloody time, and they couldn't listen to the advice at all, as the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, these courtiers are water, and they are boats! If one of them is not handled well, they will lose the hearts and minds of the people and lose their prestige!

But since it has happened, there is no other way, Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly: "Let's go, let's go to the noon gate too!" ”

Li Dongyang hesitated and sighed: "Okay, it's come to this, it can be like this!" Li Dongyang stepped forward at the moment, Yang Tinghe followed behind by half a step, and several important ministers followed closely and strode towards the noon gate!

At this time, there were more and more officials gathered at the noon gate, and almost all of the officials who were not on duty came, not only the Beijing officials, but even the officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work! There are even a few imperial historians who have already paid tribute but have not yet left Beijing! At a glance, all the people who look at the black are courtiers!
