"Long live Lord, it's not good, something is wrong!" Just as he was sitting speechless, someone outside suddenly shouted loudly, and after a burst of footsteps, Liu Jin appeared at the door of the hall in a panic.

"What's the matter?" Xie Hong and Zhengde stood up at the same time.

Both of them were taken aback, now Liu Jin's status in front of Zhengde has declined, but because of the rise of imperial power, when it comes to the outside world, his power is rising instead of falling, at least after Wang Yue is numb, he can basically walk sideways in the palace, it is definitely not a trivial matter to make him so panicked, and the two of them can't help but be surprised.

"Long live the Lord, Chengtianmen...... There were a lot of people gathered outside, saying that they wanted to petition! Liu Jin looked panicked, and his words stumbled, "The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, the officials of the Six Departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the prisoners of the Guozijian are all here, I'm afraid there won't be hundreds of people ......."

"What are they going to ask for?" Xie Hong's heart moved, and he had an ominous premonition, so he picked up Liu Jin and asked hurriedly.

"They said: The sutra feast is the ancestral system, and they ask the emperor to reopen the sutra feast!" Liu Jin's answer verified Xie Hong's hunch, and the civil officials really left behind, so that he and Zhengde wanted to get through the mismatch.

What to do? Xie Hong frowned and fell into contemplation, and the Zhengde face on one side was also tense, half angry, half worried, thinking of the horror of the feast and the depression of losing freedom, Zhu Houzhao was also worried.

...... "Jiefu's plan does have a miraculous effect, the palace has been transmitted, and the annihilators around His Majesty have already made a mess, even if it is Xie Hong, who is known as full of tricks, he is hesitant at this time, so he can only wait to be killed, and support justice, just today." Now Liu Xixian is dying, Xie Yuqiao is seriously ill, and he has built this miracle with his great talent, and he has a friendship with the emperor's teachers and students...... When you enter the cabinet, it will not be far away. ”

Hanlin Temple is on Chang'an East Street, not far from Chengtianmen, because the door is open to the north, so as long as you stand at the door, you can see Chengtianmen. At this time, the Hanlin Academy was empty, and the scholars and the scholars had gone to the gate of Chengtian to petition, and only two old men were standing at the door, talking.

The one who spoke had white hair, and his face was a little gray when he saw that he was already over the age of old, but when he spoke, he was full of energy and his spirit was greatly excited.

"Mr. Dongbai praised it falsely, and Tinghe really didn't dare to take it. If it weren't for Mr. Dongbai's high morality and high morality, how could Tinghe's thinking be carried out smoothly? What's more, the proposal to reopen the sutra feast has been initiated by the Hanlin Academy, and the Zhan Mansion is just following Jiwei, so what is the reason for a little bit of scheming? ”

The other person is not so much an old man as a middle-aged man, although his head is gray, he is full of energy, he looks quite dignified, and when he speaks, his tone is neither humble nor arrogant, quite decent.

"Jiefu is too modest."

The old man who spoke first was Zhang Yuanzhen, a bachelor of Hanlin, although the old man is now seventy and sick, and he is frail and sickly, but the fire in his heart has never been extinguished, since he was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin last year, he has been sparing no effort to promote the process of reopening the feast, so he has also been supported by all the scholars and officials.

"Since the emperor is helpless, Jiefu, you have served as the emperor's teacher and have been with the emperor for a long time, in your opinion, if I invite all my colleagues in the same court, expand the momentum, and then ask the Son of Heaven to kill and annihilate him, how can there be any calculation?"

This petition was tacitly approved by the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and at the court meeting, everyone expressed their support. Therefore, as the initiator of the action, Zhang Yuanzhen was quite complacent, and he was even more eager to complete the unfinished business of the important ministers of the DPRK and China.

"Mr. Tohaku is too anxious." The middle-aged man who was the husband was Yang Tinghe, who was once the emperor's teacher and is now in charge of the Zhan Mansion. Because he has been serving as Zhan Shi and is responsible for the prince's studies, he has a deep understanding of Zhengde, so he does not agree with Zhang Yuanzhen's proposal.

"The emperor's surname is actually more easy-going, but he is very hard in his bones, if he admonishes him with words, although he is impatient, he will not be angry. But if it is forced to be forced, it may arouse his surname, and it is unknown what kind of violent reaction there will be. The feast is determined by the ancestral system, even if the emperor is impatient, he will not turn his face, but if it involves the close ministers around him, it will inevitably ......"

Yang Tinghe didn't finish his words, but Zhang Yuanzhen also knew what he meant, he didn't participate in what happened before, and he wasn't affected, but he saw it in his eyes.

"The husband is reasonable, but the old man is too much." After thinking silently for a while, he raised his head again and asked, "In the opinion of the husband, how will the emperor finally respond to this petition?" ”

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "The emperor should not agree immediately, but he will not veto, just wait for the momentum to be created, and then get the approval of the cabinet, the big scripture feast may not be possible, but the small scripture feast in every day should be okay, after three days, Mr. Dongbai just send people into the palace." ”

"Good, good!" The matter of annihilation, originally he didn't do Zhang Yuanzhen, a bachelor of Hanlin, he just got a little forgetful, so he mentioned it in passing, and didn't take it to heart, on the contrary, for him, reopening the feast is the right thing. Thinking of the reopening of the prayer feast that had been stopped for a year in his own hands, the old man was very excited and praised again and again.

"It's just, if Xie Hong gets in the way, will things change?" In addition to being excited, the old man thought of Xie Hong again, although he had not been in direct contact, but as a member of the scholars, Zhang Yuanzhen naturally knew the abomination of this scourge.

"Don't worry." Zhang Yuanzhen was worried, but Yang Tinghe didn't care, he smiled: "Although Xie Hong seems crazy, he is actually measured. Of course, he came from a humble background and didn't have a good grasp of proportion, but there was someone behind him to guide him, so he didn't make any big mistakes all along. But ......"

Yang Tinghe changed his words and continued: "Someone can certainly make him grasp the balance, but it also makes him have scruples, although he acts a little ...... It's weird, after all, I still don't dare to press too hard. ”

Thinking of Xie Hong's chaotic response, Yang Tinghe didn't know how to describe it, so he had to use the word weird. Not to mention anything else, just talking about that little black house, it really makes people laugh and cry, and I don't know how the young man came up with such a thing, and all the scheming courtiers were stopped.

If it is with ordinary people, they don't need to be embarrassed, they just need to use strong means to be unreasonable, but the other party is the emperor, they can't be completely unreasonable, even if it is distorted, they have to make a reason, so that they can advise the emperor.

Just like the reason for reopening the sutra feast, the emperor must be famous, especially quoting the words of the classics or the system of the ancestors, but no one has ever seen such strange things as a small black house, so how can there be a system to invoke? Therefore, the courtiers felt that they could not cope for a while.

In Yang Tinghe's opinion, it is not so much that Xie Hong is scheming, but that this person is good at exploiting loopholes, and then partnering with Zhengde, who is good at playing scoundrels, this combination is really a headache.

However, since they are exploiting loopholes, it shows that the other party is reasonable, and a reasonable person is easier to deal with than a madman. Now under the instigation of Zhang Yuanzhen, the Hanlin Academy, Yanguan and Guozijian have all been mobilized, as long as Xie Hong is still sensible, it is impossible to use tough measures, otherwise, the consequences will be too serious.

It's okay for the Guozijian to be down, compared with the Hanlin Academy, the officials have no weight. You know, the Hanlin Academy is the birthplace of the ministers, and now those bachelors are insignificant, but in a few years, ten years, who knows how many important ministers will be inside? Using tough means to deal with Hanlin, even the emperor may not be able to bear the consequences.

"Let's hope everything goes well." Raising his eyes in the direction of Chengtianmen, listening to the faint shouts from time to time, Yang Tinghe let out a sigh. There is no problem with the plan itself, but in those two teenagers, anything can happen, soft can overcome rigidity, but it can't overcome chaos.

…… At the same time, Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Pavilion Elder, the Hanlin Academy is doing this outside the Chengtian Gate, so as not to lose some dignity, right?" Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, frowned.

It is a good thing to reopen the feast, and he is also in favor of it, and he also seconded it in today's court meeting, but it is enough to petition for this kind of thing, and it is enough to mobilize the Guozijian...... Where is the face of the imperial court? That's Hanlin! It is the most noble group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

"The Hanlin people are also worried about national affairs, and since they are asking for their lives for the country, they can't talk about losing their dignity." Shoufu Liu Jian shook his head and did not agree with Zhang Sheng's opinion.

"Recently, the emperor's behavior has become more and more incredible, in the past, it was just fighting dogs and flying eagles, riding horses and shooting arrows, but now it is a baseball league, and every day with a group of naughty boys, where is there still the body of a king? Someone should have advised him a long time ago, but now that the Hanlin people have the heart to serve the country, how can we and other courtiers have a reason to stop it? ”

Xie Qian was plotted before, his reputation was greatly damaged, and he was even seriously ill, and he still said that he was sick at home, and he was also a minister, how could Liu Jian not be sick and sympathetic? What's more, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, maybe he would have been poisoned, he was still afraid to think about it, he hated Xie Hong and Zhengde, and wished that someone would find those two guys, where would they stop him.

"It's still okay to worry, those young people around the emperor seem to be the queen of the martial arts, if the emperor ......"

Li Dongyang's qualifications are far above Wang Shouren, although he is not familiar with military affairs, but he is used to the prudence of his surname, Wang Shouren can see that Xie Hong is training, and he also has doubts in his heart, but he can't deduce Xie Hong's follow-up methods. However, this worry has been haunting his heart, and it is also raised at this time.

"Li Ge is too worried, but it's just a few hundred teenagers, even if the emperor has the intention of fighting soldiers, it won't cause much trouble, but it is the thousand sons of Nanzhen Fusi who are the big troubles." The one who answered the call was Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who sighed and said: "I regret not being at the beginning, if I don't allow the border army to enter Beijing, Xie Hong's annihilation will have no minions, how can there be so many accidents today?" ”

For the border army to enter Beijing, Liu Daxia really regretted it, if he hadn't misestimated the strength of these border troops and lured the wolf into the house, no matter how crazy Xie Hong was, without the help of these people, how much storm could he set off? Not to mention instructing others to scold yourself, you are the secretary of the military department, what an identity!

"Bin Zhi is really worried, there are imperial horse guards in the palace, there are thousands of people, all of them are elite soldiers and horses, not to mention that those teenagers are only stationed in Xiyuan, and they have never entered the Forbidden City, so it should be fine." Liu Jian waved his hand and said: "It's Liu Shangshu, you should go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of War at this time, if that annihilation does crazy things again, it can be destroyed in one fell swoop." ”

"What the elder said is that I will go back to the yamen." With the same hatred of the enemy, Liu Daxia also became a lot easier to speak.

"Two elders, lords, the emperor's decree has come out, it's a verbal message!" At this moment, a chief on duty walked in, bowed, and then reported.

"What is the emperor's will?" The stakes were so high that everyone's hearts were tight, and more than a dozen sharp eyes focused on the face of the principal.

"The emperor said that he promised to reopen the feast, but he still has one condition." The principal said with a strange expression, apparently confused by the matter.

"On what terms?" Liu Daxia was originally a anxious surname, and his face was even more anxious at this time, if it wasn't for Wenyuan Pavilion here, it would not be good to lose his temper, he couldn't wait to pinch the neck of the main thing in front of him and ask, how impatient.

"The emperor said: Before the Hanlin people preach the scriptures, they must prove their knowledge, if their knowledge is shallow, even if there is an ancestral system, what kind of face do they have to preach to me?"

As soon as the words came out, there was silence in Wenyuan Pavilion, and everyone was stunned by this answer. Is there any mistake, who are the people who can enter the Hanlin Academy, the champions can't show special in it, can these people be poor in knowledge?

Compared with knowledge, even if there are a hundred emperors and Xie Hong, it is not the opponent of any Hanlin! Who doesn't know that the emperor is a non-scholar, so Xie Hong is just a showman, just with their cultural level, they dare to mention such a condition?

"So, how are the Hanlin going to prove themselves?"

"The emperor didn't mention it in his edict, but only asked the Hanlin if they dared to agree......"

"How do the Hanlin people answer...... it was Liu Daxia who asked this question, and he said a word, and he felt that he was a little stupid to ask, and he stopped talking halfway through.

"The Hanlin people were so excited that they immediately agreed." The answer was not what the ministers expected, and in the face of such a provocation, it would be strange if the Hanlin did not agree.
