The first and second straight room of Wenyuan Pavilion is not big, it is full of calculations, including the bed at the back, it is only a small room seven or eight steps square, but at this time, not only Liu Jian is here, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are also all crowded here. The three of them are not without disputes, but they can still work together on real matters, so some people have long compared their trio with the famous Sanyang during the orthodox period of Xuande. At this moment, the three of them were silent, and their minds were all recalling the words brought by the celebrant and clerk of Shicai.

"Three gentlemen, the emperor said that after the early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, the three elders of the pavilion Wenhua Hall will be summoned to discuss the matter."

Agitated? That's natural, you know, the three of them are called cardinals, but they haven't seen Tianyan outside the court for several months. However, in their position, of course, they would not consider this meeting as merely an exciting event, and they would have to have other concerns. Especially when Li Dongyang gave people two steps smaller as usual, he also asked one more question whether it was just me and the other three people, or someone else, but the clerk smiled and didn't answer.

"That's it, the emperor has always been humble and has a decision, and the three of us can advise it, don't worry too much."

The same situation also happened in the Ministry of Officials, in the Ministry of War, and in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Whether it is Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia or Dai Shan, the three of them are not in the cabinet, but they are all trusted ministers, and they are not called outside the court, but it is still very rare, in addition to being excited, even if they are just like them, they are all inquiring in every way without exception, but there are others who are called, and after they can't find out the bottom from the mouth of the celebrant and the clerk who passed the decree, the three of them all sent soap Li to inquire about other yamen.

So, by the end of the evening, the six cabinet and ministry bigwigs had all known it to themselves. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, plus Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, and Dai Shan, this is almost the top luxury lineup among the Hongzhi courtiers today. Not to mention that there is a subtle relationship between likes and dislikes, the six of them all worked overnight to make things that they usually accumulated in their hearts, and they could only vent on the music and could not say it in person.

However, Sun Bin, the celebrant who went to Xing'anbo Mansion to deliver the oral message, would not sell the guanzi. He was old with Xu Xun, he only stood facing north and south, coughed lightly and said according to the original words of Emperor Hongzhi before: "Spread my words, and say to Xu Xun, tomorrow is waiting outside the Wenhua Palace." ”

After this fluttering sentence, he picked up Xu Xunlai, and said solemnly: "Xu Shizi, you must remember to prepare well, Ming said that it is different from the last time the emperor summoned him, there are still many others here." Liu Ge Lao, Li Ge Lao, Xie Ge Lao, Ma Shangshu Liu Shangshu Dai Duxian, none of these six are easy to deal with, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to complain to the queen mother, and the queen mother did not tell the emperor I don't know, but at this time, even His Royal Highness the prince is not too oriented to you, let alone Xiao Gonggong, it is not the turn of the celebrant to speak for you on that occasion, you can only rely on yourself. ”

"Grandpa Xiao can mention it in advance, I am already grateful!"

Seeing that Xu Xun arched his hand sincerely, Sun Bin smiled and said something good to say, and it was not good to stay for a long time, so he immediately raised his hand to say goodbye, but when Xu Xun was sent out, he suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Xun and said in a low voice: "I can teach Xu Shizi to know that Gonggong Li mentioned to Gonggong Xiao a few days ago that the Tao is Ruisheng's soul, you might as well go to Qianqing Palace to make a promise first, and then it is the capital of promotion, but your father-in-law politely refused." My father-in-law rarely takes care of a small character like this, but he is very blessed! ”

"Please also ask Grandpa Sun to reply to Grandpa Xiao, thanks to the care, Xu Xun is really grateful!"

It wasn't until he saw Sun Bin turn over on the horse and gallop away with the little eunuch who came with him that Xu Xun turned around and walked back, hesitating in his heart what kind of big scene it should be. His previous life experience has been full of ups and downs, and he has confidently experienced a lot of worlds, but compared with the level of this life and this life, it is still an underground and a heaven. Even if he had accumulated hundreds of years of experience, he couldn't imagine that he would fight those old foxes who had accumulated over the years.

What's more, this time it is very likely to be six to one, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor had a great possibility of his surname favoring him, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao would probably pass, and he wouldn't have to be embarrassed!

The second said that there was no wave in the ancient well of the early dynasty. The five things played in the early court were all circled the day before, and they have always been high-sounding and stable, either for disaster relief, or for the people, or for the promotion and dismissal of officials, or for the exemption of taxes to show the grace of heaven...... All in all, at this time, even the most iron-clad imperial history will definitely not impeach anyone for violating the rules in the early dynasty. Therefore, after the lengthy ceremony, the court officials retreated from the court under the drowsiness that had not yet passed, and the emperor did not see the joy and anger to go to the Jinshen Hall to change clothes, and the ministers who were summoned were led to the Wenhua Hall by themselves. This scene is not a secret work in private, naturally there are countless people in the eyes, such as Jiao Fang, such as a group of science and Taoist officials, such as Wang Shouren.

It wasn't until the hundred officials retreated cleanly and the ministers had already entered the Wenhua Hall that Xu Xunfang was led into Zuoshun Gate. In fact, he came early in the morning, and he still got up before dawn last time, the only difference is that he waits on the fire in the straight room of the left door, instead of blowing the northwest wind in the coupon cave like last time. Only a few dozen steps away from his warm body were blown clean by the howling cold wind, and the sky was unexpectedly snowflakes, he couldn't help but tuck his fur collar and rub his hands gently.

Leading the way is none other than Latham & Watkins. These days, he has served Xiao Jing, and he has memorized the places he can go to in the palace, and most of the heads and faces are familiar. However, when he heard Xu Xun sneeze, he still couldn't help but glance back.

"It's so cold, the prince should wear more on his body, at least a pair of gloves." Latham Watkins' voice was softer than a mosquito, but the concern and complaint in it couldn't be hidden at all, "When the time comes, I'll help you take it off, it's better than being frozen now, what if the cold gets sick on this cold day!" ”

"How can I be so delicate!"

Xu Xun smiled helplessly, although he didn't talk to Rayson anymore, he was relieved in his heart. However, Rayson did not take him straight into the Wenhua Palace, but went around to the imperial pharmacy at the back. Looking at the eunuchs around him who were busy taking care of themselves and ignoring themselves, Xu Xun only felt extremely suspicious, until he followed Ruisheng into a room where no one was around, and he couldn't help but ask, "...... is this?"

"Gonggong Xiao said that the emperor will summon the six adults first." Ruisheng carefully recalled Xiao Jing's previous instructions, and tried to be good at every word, "The emperor said that even if he is summoned in the Wenhua Palace, most of them are only for the ministers, and there are very few ministers and ministers who are summoned together. The three pavilion elders haven't seen the emperor for more than half a year, Ma Shangshu and Dai Duxian were summoned once before because of next year's inspection, but this year is the only time, and Liu Shangshu is also the first time in the new year. Therefore, they must have important things to do, and many emperors have to give rulings in person, so they will not summon the prince immediately, and most of them will have to wait until the end. It's too cold outside, and it's not good to be seen, this imperial pharmacy is managed by the children and grandchildren under Gonggong Xiao, and the prince is waiting here for a cheap time, and you can think about it. ”

Even if he had already realized from Sun Bin's words that Emperor Hongzhi did not often summon ministers, Xu Xun did not expect that such a summon would be so rare, and only after smacking his tongue did he realize how lucky he was to be summoned because of coincidence and design when he first entered the capital, so he was summoned - no wonder outsiders had to buckle him with a hat of being a prodigious annihilator.

Although he used to be a master and servant, Rayson knew how to avoid suspicion, and when Xu Xun sat down, he quietly retreated. And Xu Xun sat in this warm room, and he had to continue to take out the plan he had considered last night and analyze it carefully, if the time passed slowly, it was not difficult. I don't know how long it took before the curtain was gently lifted.

"Lord Shizi, it's time to go to the Wenhua Palace!"

The posture of the three halls of interrogation, Xu Xun had seen it once in front of the Yingtianfu Yamen in the past. That time he was the plaintiff who tried his best to gain the upper hand, but this time he stood in the Wenhua Palace, and after the salute, he was isolated and helpless - if you don't count the words of the prince Zhu Houzhao who blinked hard at him next to the emperor, and Xiao Jing, who looked at his nose and nose as if an old monk had entered a fixed place, and even the emperor with a solemn and official expression.

As for the civil official, he only knew one Ma Wensheng, but he could barely recognize everyone according to their seat. Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet at the top, was an old man who was seventy miles away but in good spirits, and most of his hair was white, and he hardly looked at him at this time; The next old man was a little thin, but his expression was relatively gentle, and he was looking at him with interest at this time, it should be the second assistant Li Dongyang; Xie Qian, who was in the third place, frowned, as if he Xu Xun owed him a lot of debt; Ma Wensheng is as old as ever, but he knows that it is just an appearance; Later generations have always said that Liu Daxia, who burned Zheng He's chart, kept a straight face, and repeatedly glanced at him with critical and displeased eyes; Dai Shan had a sad face, as if she had just been admonished, and she didn't have time to pay attention to him, a latecomer.

"Xu Xun, I summoned you here this time because of Xiyuan's military training. Ma Shangshu said that Xiyuan and Miyagi were too close to each other, and it was ominous to practice sword soldiers. And Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War said that the avant-garde sergeants of the government army have been lacking training for a long time, and they rashly pulled into the imperial city, just afraid that they will be disturbed in vain. ”

It was actually Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia who joined forces to make trouble?

Xu Xun's heart tightened, but the next moment he found that Liu Daxia glanced at Ma Wensheng, and then seemed to look away a little awkwardly, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately raised his head, as if he didn't see Zhu Houzhao was making gestures to him eagerly, and said aloud word by word: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that what the two Shangshu said is reasonable." ”
