Chapter 384: Finding Light in the Darkness

The stars and moon are dim, and the morning sun has not risen. [No pop-up novel network]

Although the emperor has not been to the court for some days, every morning, just before the hour, the front of the Taihe Hall is still full of people.

There is no way, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and he can come with his surname, and now no one in the capital dares to care about him, but if the courtiers don't go to court, that handle will fall into the hands of the Ducha Yuan, well, it is in the hands of the Ducha Lower Court.

It's hard to say whether this handle has been taken out and used one day, but only if the other party has this handle, this person will not want to live in peace. Unless you don't stop looking for trouble, especially if you don't find trouble with the emperor, you will wait for the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the interrogation of the factory guards.

Alas, that plague god is really infinitely poisonous, obviously the people are no longer in the capital, but they still make everyone unhappy, no, the news just came from Jizhen, then Xie Hong has made a moth again.

Kill a general first, kill a general, kill the martial arts left and right, can only be said to be a dog eats a dog, but the fake Son of Heaven honor guard is too much, right?

Different from the local buns in the border town, the ministers in Beijing have not heard the news of the emperor's departure from Beijing, although everyone has not noticed when the 3,000 battalions slipped out, but the emperor has obviously been making trouble in Xiyuan, and it is a baseball competition and fancy skateboarding, making a good imperial city like a circus, who can do this kind of thing except the emperor himself?

The fake Tianzi honor guard is no different from rebellion, and many people are gearing up, wanting to take the opportunity to give Xie Hong a good look. If the emperor wants to calm things down, let's make a big deal out of it, if he wants to suppress it strongly, then everyone will rebound strongly!

Therefore, on the day of receiving the news of Jizhen, the front of the Taihe Hall was particularly lively, and the number of people was still so large, but the atmosphere was completely different. Everyone gathered in groups of three or five, with excitement on their faces, talking and planning from ear to ear, and their eyes also radiated a bright light, well, it was the light of hope.

Of course, if all this is to be realized, there must be a premise, that is, the emperor has to come to the court.

There are also people who Zhang Luo in this matter, and the university scholar Wang Wei took the lead, and everyone handed over the song. These notes are different from the past, the words are not sharp, and they do not have the heart-wrenching meaning of the past, but they have all been changed to lyrical mode.

The general meaning is to say: Your Majesty, you have not been to the court, you haven't seen you for a long time, everyone is very worried, and I don't know if you are now in the Holy Communion, have you grown taller, have you become more handsome...... In short, and so on, the meaning is the same, that is, everyone wants to see the emperor, and the place to visit is in the Zhonghe Palace, that is, the place of the last dynasty.

Although this is the leader of Wang Wei, but it was Yang Tinghe of Zhan Shifu who came up with the idea, this Lord Yang is the emperor's teacher, and he knows the emperor's surname very well, saying that the emperor is a soft and not hard, if he is forced, he will definitely rebound, but if he attacks it with all kinds of tenderness, then the emperor is likely to comply with the will of the people.

Everyone thought about it, and it was the same reason, so there was the leader of Wang University.

However, everyone is skeptical about the effect of this sparseness, there is no way, who let the Ming Dynasty have such an unconventional emperor? Who could have guessed that his mind was the odd thing.

"The emperor has an order: this morning the court will continue as usual, and the ministers will not enter the palace quickly and wait for the holy drive!"

In the past, when they heard the duck voice of the third father-in-law, the ministers were eager to cover their ears or strangle the third father-in-law. But when I heard it today, everyone was like drinking the queen mother's fairy brew, and it was comfortable from the pores, and even the north wind in the middle of winter blew on the face, and they couldn't feel the cold.

The emperor has finally gone to court! Countless people were moved with tears in their eyes, and even a few people hugged each other tightly and refused to part for a long time.

It's not that everyone is not calm, it's really that the emperor has made everyone wait too long! Since the emperor enshrined Hou Xie Hong and appointed him as governor of Liaodong, the Shang Dynasty has become a luxury.

The courtiers can discuss matters in Wenyuan Pavilion by themselves, without the emperor watching, everyone always feels that something is missing, such a mode of deliberation does not show the majesty of the ministers of the court at all!

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally looking forward to the day when I will go to court with the emperor, how can people not be excited!

Of course, there were also many people who were particular about the scholars, and they turned their eyes to Yang Zhanshi with gratitude and admiration. is worthy of being the emperor, and he really knows the emperor's surname very well, and he has solved the problem that many people have not solved if they want to break their heads, this is the great wisdom that penetrates the hearts of the people!

Even the two scholars thought so, Li Dongyang and Wang Wei were full of smiles, grabbed Lord Yang's arm left and right, and invited Lord Yang to enter the hall together.

Of course, Yang Tinghe has to be modest and refuse, the Ming Dynasty attaches the most importance to etiquette, and the order of entering the palace is also part of the etiquette.

But the two scholars didn't know if they were too happy, so they forgot the rules or what, they invited them forcefully, and several scholars on the side also said yes with a smile, and after some pushing, Lord Yang was also helpless, so he had to walk in front with the two scholars, which caused a lot of exclamations.

The two scholars and the scholars are all old rivers and lakes, of course, there will be no wrong actions, and every word and deed should have deep meaning.

Thinking of the rumors that have been widely spread recently about the cabinet's heavy workload and its intention to expand, many people have a thoughtful look on their faces. It seems that the cabinet is indeed about to be expanded, and even the candidates have been decided.

Envy, jealousy, stuttering, the gaze on Yang Tinghe immediately became complicated.

Entering the cabinet, this is the dream of many scholars, and it is also the highest state of scholars, which can be called a great thing to ascend to the sky in one step, and it is actually decided!

If it weren't for Yang Tinghe's always humble attitude and not showing any arrogance, and his usual official reputation and popularity were also quite good, at this moment, everyone's burning eyes would have allowed him to drink a pot. You must know that this gaze contains countless bright swords and hidden arrows, which can be called murderous.

"Yang Jiefu is really good, and he is actually in the cabinet in sight." The order of entering the palace is not entirely determined by status, and there are a small number of people who are excluded from the public, including even a cabinet minister and two scholars. These people also had a lot of grievances on their faces, and one of them was even more hateful to glared at Yang Tinghe at the front of the crowd.

"Cao Butang, Yang Jiefu seems to be tepid, but in fact he is making a fuss in his stomach, most of the things in the past are inseparable from him, otherwise how could Jiangnan people and Li Xiya value him so much? It's just that this person has always only worked behind the scenes, and he never shows his head, so you don't have to underestimate him. ”

Liu Yu looked up at Yang Tinghe, and whispered: "How could the emperor suddenly go to the court today, there was no news in advance, but it caught us, the emperor's loyal courtiers, off guard, but the villain got the will, this Liu Gonggong is really true, and he has to tell us a letter!" ”

"It's a pity that Master Xie went out of Beijing to Liaodong, otherwise, how could these villains be rampant? Alas! Cao Yuan also sighed.

"That's what Cao Butang said." He suddenly mentioned Xie Hong, and the other people also nodded, regardless of hypocrisy or hypocrisy, they are now classified as annihilating the party, and they have been rejected by Shilin, if they want to make achievements, they can only hug Xie Hong's thighs.

"Actually, there are people who have been believed, but it's just ......" Jiao Fang said meaningfully, everyone nodded when they heard this, and glanced at the end of the queue with complicated eyes, there were only two young people there, who belonged to the most isolated faction in the court, but they were also the most eye-catching.

These people are called the Annihilation Party, but those two people are called Xie Dang, that is, Xie Hong's sworn friends. Because of this, although they envy each other for being well-informed and powerful, they don't want to get close to each other completely.

If Xie Hong falls, the annihilation of the party may still be able to save the lives of the whole family, but they will only be dismissed from office, but those two young people will only have one end, and they will be shattered.

"Lord Tang, does it matter if this dynasty will be today?" Yan Song asked a little nervously.

His current official position is very high, the servant of the ministry! The height that many scholars cannot reach in their lifetime, but his power is not proportional to his official position, and if he does not close to the side of the lower house of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, it is difficult for him to even guarantee his own safety.

"Peace of mind is, since the emperor has put up this battle, he naturally has his considerations, let's just watch." Tang Bohu smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on it, walking in front may not be a good thing, and sometimes, suffering losses is blessings." With that, he hummed a little song, followed the back of the court, and went to the Middle Temple.

Yan Song didn't seem to understand it, Tang Bohu's words were unfathomable, and even the little song he hummed was a little strange, "Honey, you fly slowly, be careful of the steep steps ahead?" Well, what kind of song is this, and why are the lyrics so weird? Yan Song was full of doubts, but he did not hesitate and followed closely behind Tang Bohu.

...... "Boom! ”

Yan Song didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but there were many people who understood, the first few important ministers to enter the palace, except for Yang Tinghe, who was agile, also pulled Li Dongyang by the way and saved the old-timers, everyone else tripped over the steep steps and rolled on the ground.

They have been to the hall many times, and they are quite familiar with every brick and tile here, and it is an exaggeration to say that they can find their place with their eyes closed.

But that is an exaggeration after all, in fact, Leng Ding entered a big palace with a black rumbling dong, and anyone would be stunned, so as to ignore the steep steps under his feet, and then follow in the footsteps of the king scholar.

Who is this immoral thing, how can there be no lamps in this middle and middle hall? At this moment, several rolling gourds scolded regardless of their manners.

You know, it's the middle of winter, in the north, the visibility of midnight is about the same, if the inside of the hall is not lit, it is darker than the outside, you can use it as a small black house, isn't this a pit?

"Brother Ji, how are you?" Frightened, Li Dongyang also groped up, and wanted to pull his colleague Wang Wei, but unfortunately the visibility in the hall was too poor, and Wang Wei didn't know if he had fainted, and he didn't make a sound accordingly, and his efforts could only be in vain.

"Zhang Butang, can you still get up?" Yang Tinghe is not single, his hands are quick, and his eyes are not bad, but the black light actually let him find Zhang Sheng and help the old man up.

"Oh, who did this immoral thing? Since August, there have been more and more rules in this palace, and no one in the early dynasty even thought about lighting a lamp in the palace, and it hurt the old man to death, oops! Zhang Sheng almost didn't fall out of breath, and it was easy to catch his breath, and at this time, he sighed and complained.

The night of thunder and fire was a taboo, and of course the courtiers did not talk about it, and they all referred to it as August. After that, the eunuchs in the palace became more and more arrogant, and they were not polite to the adults of the foreign courts, the most hateful, and the most unrestrained was the third father-in-law, I heard that he was still a showman, what a shameless person who was willing to degenerate!

The people in the outer court are all talented people, and the prime minister can support the boat in his stomach, just because of his poor attitude, everyone will endure it, but now no one even pays attention to the matter of lighting the lamp after dark, is there still a rule, is there a system? How unreasonable!

Anyway, there is a lesson from the past, and the people who come in later will not make the same mistakes, which is the specific manifestation of the misfortune and fortune, at least Yan Song, who was at the end of the queue, thought so.

At this moment, he deeply realized the diligent teachings of his predecessors, walking behind, or having a low grade, is not a bad thing, at least the risk is small, isn't it?

Just when the courtiers were in chaos at the entrance of the palace, they only heard a shout from the direction of the dragon chair in the Zhonghe Palace: "The emperor has arrived, and everyone kneels to greet him!" ”

Emperor...... Arrived?

It was pitch black, and there was silence.

The emperor didn't light the lamp when he came? There are really no rules! Is it possible to let everyone go to court early in such a dark place? Or does the emperor want to use such a means to scare everyone away?

No! No, the emperor must not be allowed to succeed, it is easy to have an early dynasty, how can you watch it slip away?

The courtiers forgot the pain on their bodies, and forgot the cold outside the hall, and groped in the darkness, looking for the light, well, or rather their place...... As a result, another new record of the Ming Dynasty was produced, and the Ming Dynasty, the least visible court meeting is about to begin!
