Putting aside the leading city defense army for the time being, when the morning sun rose, the civil and military ministers in the hall were already standing in their own positions, quietly waiting for the person who held the supreme power of the empire.

Standing near the steps is a middle-aged man in an apricot yellow robe, and behind him stands a man with the same magnificence, dressed differently, all light colors, separated on both sides, standing in front of the left and right prime ministers, in charge of civil and military, followed by three provinces and six ministries, it is somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty, the distribution of power is extremely even, and it is decreasing and contained.

The ministers at the front were all slightly lowered their eyes at this time, wandering elsewhere, while the petty officials in the back were discussing.

"You know what? Just now, someone dared to fight in Yonghe Gate! ”

"What kind of fight, it was the city defense army who saw his suspicious appearance and arrested him!"

"No, I heard that this person came to Beijing with the Eighth Prince, and there are people in the city defense army."

"Yes, we get it!"

The person who said this suddenly hesitated, and said it quickly, and immediately regretted it, and we understand, understand your sister!

Someone else said: "Whether it's true or not, this city defense army has done something wrong!"

"No, the city defense army is doing their duty, but there is no mistake!"

The discussion was not loud, but it had spread far away in the court, the eldest grandson of the eighth prince, Yanzhi's face was pale, especially under the eyes of the other princes, Wu You had already reported his name and was detained by the city defense army, and his face was put there, and Wu You dared to be an adult, even if His Majesty asked. Then how should I answer? Undoubtedly, it has lost a lot of points in His Majesty's heart. At this time, he didn't think that this matter was targeted by someone, let alone whether Wu You was injured.

After a short time, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, and everyone stopped talking.

The Emperor was old, but he still walked straight, his face was calm, and he sat upright in a chair with a brazier behind him in a hidden corner to dispel the cold. I don't feel cold.

The generals have nothing to say, and the Mo family incident is still lingering before, and it is mainly civilian officials who speak.

"Your Majesty, it's about to be spring, and the spring plowing in the Jiangnan area has been arranged, but there are still many questions about taxation."

"Your Majesty, this year's heavy snowfall, many areas have suffered serious snow disasters, and many victims have frozen to death and starved to death. I also asked the imperial court to allocate grain and lend money."

"Your Majesty, Fuso. Goguryeo, Liuzhu and other countries have set off to come to Kyoto on the fifteenth day of the first month of the year to pay tribute, the Ministry of Rites"

After processing, or rather, it was noon after the discussion, the court was very quiet, and the emperor's energy was not enough, but his back was still straight, even straighter than before, and his eyes were like torches, staring at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty below.

The eunuch on duty just wanted to shout to retreat, but standing at the back, he ran out violently: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

With this sentence, the entire court became quieter, and the emperor's chest rose and fell several times, and then his gaze stabbed like a knife at the man who held the head of the song fold high.

Nodding slightly, the old eunuch beside him took the fold handed by the eunuch and handed it to His Majesty.

The emperor glanced at ten lines, and the fierce general was still on the ground, stood up and roared angrily: "Sun Changshi, this matter has already been decided, don't you know?" ”

Sun Changshi was trembling on the ground, but he still buried his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is against heaven and ethics, and it can't be handled like this!" Your Majesty! ”

"This is my family matter, the Ministry of Rites agrees, the prime ministers agree to the left and right, my own son, do you need to agree again?" The Emperor pointed at him and roared.

Sun Changshi stopped talking, but not speaking was sometimes more serious than speaking, and with an order, the entire court was quiet, and there was another position.

The Emperor returned to the Hall of Clouds, where government affairs were handled. There was no longer the emperor's majesty, the old man's twilight swept the entire hall, and the old eunuch beside him was still calm, serving warm porridge for the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, drink something to warm up......"

The Emperor nodded slowly, sighed heavily, ate something, and his spirit improved a lot, and said, "None of these courtiers are worried about me!" ”

The old eunuch smiled and did not answer.

happened to be seen by the emperor, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "You, you must not offend anyone for the rest of your life!" ”

The old eunuch laughed even more, and said slowly: "The old slave has served Your Majesty all his life, as long as Your Majesty is happy and healthy, and other things are trivial matters for the old slave, so naturally he will not be angry!" ”

"You, you! Ahem! The Emperor pointed at the old eunuch and smiled, but coughed.

The old eunuch immediately stepped forward, patted the emperor on the back gently, and when he was better, he said, "This morning, the old slave heard an interesting story!" ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" The Emperor said with a smile on his face.

"Today in Yonghemen, there is a young descendant who fought with the city defense army, it's funny, I haven't encountered such a thing since the founding of the country!" The old eunuch said with a smile.

The emperor said angrily: "Hmph, who dares? ”

"It's the little offspring brought back by Yanzhi, I'm afraid I don't know the rules, I haven't seen the market!"

The emperor thought about it and laughed and said, "Don't blame him, coming from such a distant place, his temperament is naturally a little wild, hehe......"

After the old eunuch accompanied the emperor, he said casually: "Yanzhi that child, I went to the palace in the middle of the night yesterday to hand over the fold, saying that I was back, Your Majesty has rested, and the palace gate has been closed, so I didn't let him come in to ask Your Majesty to say goodbye......"

The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "Yanzhi, this child, is attentive and filial, but he is too weak......"

The old eunuch didn't seem to hear the words that caused a shock.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows, drank some porridge again, sighed and said: "Let Yanzhi come in, no matter what, it can be regarded as tired, and Han'er, well, go back to the house to cultivate your self-cultivation, give me some peace during this time!" ”

The old eunuch nodded, turned and walked out.

After a while, the eldest grandson Yanzhi walked in with a respectful expression.

The eldest grandson Yanzhi suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly: "Erchen has seen his father!" ”

The emperor was also happy and said, "Good! Not bad! I've lost a lot of weight in the past few months! ”

Although he didn't mention what he was going to do, the eldest grandson Yanzhi was still ecstatic in his heart, and his forehead touched the ground and said: "This is a matter within the sons and daughters, and they can share the worries of their fathers and emperors, and they are willing to be tired and tired!" ”

The Emperor's expression became more gentle, and he nodded slowly.

The old eunuch saw that His Majesty was already a little tired, and knew that he was tired, so he said, "Your Majesty, the old slave helped you to rest?" ”

The emperor nodded, although he was not rewarded, the eldest grandson Yanzhi did not dare to say anything, and respectfully prepared to retreat.

The Emperor's original steps of leaving stopped abruptly, and said softly: "That little descendant has some misunderstandings with the city defense army, you go and deal with it, and bring it over tomorrow morning to meet me!" ”

The eldest grandson Yanzhi's legs were weak, his face turned white, and he immediately said yes.

Seeing that the emperor's back disappeared completely, he let out a long breath, his back had already been soaked in cold sweat, and then he came back to his senses, why didn't His Majesty reward him, his feelings were exchanged for his reward and Wu You's punishment, he shook his head with a wry smile, and hurried out of the palace.
