In the middle of March, the wind is beautiful and the weather is cool.

But Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan, as well as Cao Gang and Ouyang Zhi, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates Xiang Cha, the hearts of these court officials are mixed!

I didn't expect the people to be so persistent, even the first assistant minister Ji Ping didn't have a speech, and they still refused to disperse!

The people still waited patiently, still looking out of the city gate from time to time, and no one made any noise or trouble.

But the soldiers did not dare to let their guard down and blocked the door.

This scene at the gate of the capital city has a slightly unreal feeling, and it also looks a little disobedient.

But it did happen.

There is such a big commotion, it is impossible to hide it from the palace.

After thinking about it, Ji Ping spoke to Shi Zhongyuan and Cao Gang: "Lord Cao, Lord Shi!" I'll leave it to the two here, and the old man will go to the palace! ”

Speaking of this, Ji Ping said in a low voice: "It's a big deal, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from the emperor!" ”

Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan nodded, and then Ji Ping left the city gate under the escort of the guards and headed towards the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Ji Ping hurried to Zhao Quan's dormitory, and then asked to see him.

Zhao Quan agreed, in the dormitory, there was only Zhao Quan alone, and the imperial eunuch withdrew after Ji Ping came.

Ji Ping saluted Zhao Quan, and then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for coming late......"

Zhao Quan waved his hand and asked, "What's going on over there at the city gate?" ”

After all, he is the emperor, and there is nothing in this capital that can be hidden from him.

Ji Ping clasped his hands together, then hunched his waist and said: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness was worried about the emperor's illness, and after returning to the mansion, he saw the prince's mansion with colorful lights, so he had tears in his eyes and was sad in his heart, so he went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for His Majesty!" ”

Zhao Quan said: "Then those people will go out of the city to see the face of the future Son of Heaven?" ”

Listening to Zhao Quan's tone, he was obviously a little unhappy.

Indeed, Zhao Ziji is honest, but these people, as well as the officials under him, make Zhao Quan very dissatisfied!

If this matter was completely spontaneous by the people, Zhao Quan would not believe it.

So Zhao Quan reproached Ji Ping: "What kind of officials did you choose in this East Palace?" ”

When Ji Ping heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Quan was really dissatisfied, Ji Ping had no choice but to persuade his emotions first, and then make plans.

At the very least, Zhao Quan did not blame the prince, which made Ji Ping feel happy, which showed that he said before that the prince was just sad when he saw the lights at home, and it also made Zhao Quan feel some relief for Zhao Ziji's filial piety.

"Then I ask you, this prince went to pray for me, and he prayed for blessings, why didn't he explain the beginning and end to the people, and the way was clear, but the people came in chaos, blocked the city gates, and blocked the streets?"

Zhao Quan asked Ji Ping coldly, and then said softly: "You are also an old minister by my side, get up and answer!" ”

Ji Ping stood up slowly and said to Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed the incompetence of the ministers, and I am willing to accept the punishment!" It's just that according to Lao Chen, this matter is not a disaster, but a blessing! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Quan frowned and asked, "Blessing?" Where does the blessing come from? ”

Ji Ping approached Zhao Quan and said in a low voice: "The prince is gentle and benevolent, and he has won the hearts of the people, which shows the luck of the royal family, and it also seems that the emperor has chosen a master for the world!" ”

Zhao Quan snorted expressionlessly when he heard this, and said, "But I'm not dead yet!" ”

Well, now it's time to take care of the people's will.

Although Zhao Quan didn't say it, what he meant by this sentence was that now the people in the capital love the prince, but they have forgotten him, the emperor!

Ji Ping was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Zhao Quan: "The emperor can send Yang Gonggong to the city gate, and with just a holy decree, the people will definitely retreat!" ”

"What if not?" Zhao Quan asked rhetorically.

Ji Ping saw that Zhao Quan was still very angry, so he could only sigh slightly in his heart.

This emperor, Ji Ping has been by his side all his life, where does he not understand his character?

The turmoil in the early years, and the open and secret battles with the three princes of the previous dynasty, made the scheming of the emperor in front of him deeper and deeper, and the city government was also unfathomable.

So Ji Ping had no choice but to say: "If this is the case, then the old minister is willing to be punished!" ”

Zhao Quan thought for a while and said, "It's okay!" ”

Then, he began to order people to draft the decree, and then called Yang Yuting.

As soon as Yang Yuting entered the door, Zhao Quan handed him the holy decree and said to him: "Bother Yang Aiqing to go to the West City Gate, pass the decree for me, and dismiss the people!" ”

Yang Yuting was born in the military, he only knew that the military order was like a mountain, Zhao Quan personally gave the order, so naturally he would not ask more, so he rode a fast horse and went to the West City Gate to announce the decree!

Riding away, Zhao Quan and Ji Ping waited for Yang Yuting's reply in the dormitory.

At the west gate of the capital, the people waited for a long time, and they didn't see the prince come back, and the soldiers sent to Xiangguo Temple to inquire also came back, and said loudly to everyone: "The prince asked for a peace charm for the emperor, and when the last light was opened, the yin and yang money was always not a pair......

When the people heard this, they immediately became anxious.

What a good thing that is! Yin-yang money is a kind of fortune-telling, that is, two special fisheye copper coins are thrown down in the air, and then the front and back sides of the two yin-yang coins are the same, so that it succeeds three times in a row before it is completed!

This yin and yang money is oval, and both sides are as smooth, and it does take some luck to turn the same side of yin and yang up three times in a row.

Obviously, today's diviner doesn't feel very good, and the contact has been lost dozens of times without success!

So what to do?

Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan glanced at each other, and there was some helplessness in their eyes.

The crown prince asks for peace charms for the emperor, this is only the last step left, and he will naturally not stop if he does not succeed, so of course he has to wait!

So Shi Zhongyuan stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, the emperor is auspicious, I believe that this yin and yang money can't help it!" ”

Yes! Who is the Emperor? That's a real thing! Can't you fight two yin and yang coins?

So the people were relieved, and after a while, I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Why don't we all kneel down together and pray for the emperor, maybe this yin and yang money can become a pair!" ”

Everyone, what a good idea, it's idle anyway, instead of everyone waiting here, it's better to help the emperor and the prince do something!

This is the characteristic of the ancient people, who stood at the bottom of society, but worked hard and were loyal to the court! They are huge, but they are simple and lovely.

More than 2,000 people knelt down on the street, and then prayed for blessings, this shock is definitely beyond your imagination, and it is even more surprising to Yang Yuting, who came to announce the holy decree!
