Chapter 165: With the Future First Assistant
When Chen Mo came out of the palace and returned to Chen's mansion, the sky was already dark.
There was a lot of harvest that night, and his brain was always excited, and although he didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel sleepy.
Han Rongfa will die, this is a sure thing, however, he is unwilling to be stained with the blood of this guy, after returning to the house, he ordered Huo Dong, who had been waiting for news and had not slept all night, to deal with it, and sternly told the eunuchs of the Chen Mansion who had been following him, but there was a word of news about the Empress Dowager Chen, and he would kill him without mercy.
As for Han Zhuang'er and Chu Tianyu, according to Huo Dong's intentions, they were going to kill them together to prevent future troubles. However, he thinks that the two of them are just acting on orders, each for their own master, and as soon as Han Rongfa dies in the future, the two will become ownerless duckweed, and it is unknown whether they can win over their side.
However, it depends on how loyal the two of them are to Han Rongfa, if they don't repent of death, they will be pinched in their hands anyway, and it will not be too late to kill them when the time comes.
"Let's bring it back to Zhaoling first, you are guarding the tomb of a thousand households, you can't stay in the capital for a long time, now there is nothing to do here, you quickly take someone back, take Han Rongfa and him with you, and dispose of that guy on the way, clean your hands and feet."
"Yes!" Huo Dong agreed, and then asked, "What about you, the Overseer?" When will you go back? ”
"We still have some things to deal with, wait a few days, and we will go back in a hot air balloon in a few days." Chen Mo said, looking out the window, the window paper was white, and suddenly remembered that today's dynasty, Zhang Siwei was going to announce Zhang Yunling's death in public, and Shen Shixing's face must be very good-looking at that time, and he couldn't help laughing.
Huo Dong was stunned by laughter, and asked puzzledly, "Why did the Overseer think of being so happy?" Hurry up and talk about it. Let the lowly also be happy! ”
"The Buddha said, don't say it. You can't say it...... Alright, don't delay. Hurry up and pack up and leave, our family is going out too! He hurriedly ordered the eviction, not for anything else, but he suddenly thought, since Zhang Whale can buy Shen Shixing, why can't he? Calculating the time, the hundred officials had already entered the palace, and they were anxious to see Shen Shixing before the great dynasty.
And once you have that idea. He couldn't sit still, and he didn't wait to send Huo Dong off, so he got up and left the house, left Huo Dong and went straight to the stable, led his jujube red horse out of Chen's mansion, and went straight to Donghua Gate.
In the Ming generation, although the country was governed by virtue and everything was done according to etiquette, there was no complete court ceremony. So. The time of each emperor's reign is not exactly the same, such as Taizu, who is "the rooster crows and comes out." Before the sun rises, it is approaching a hundred officials". Ambiguous refers to the time when the day is just dawning.
In the early years of Jiajing, the young Sejong "often came to the court before the dawn, or set up candles to ascend the throne." Although the wind is cold, it is uninterrupted". For this reason, the cabinet ministers were worried. "The holy bow is too hard", so Jiajing stipulated in the sixth year. Beginning in the New Year, the court will "take the sunrise as the degree, or the day of strong wind and cold will be temporarily exempted, and the order will be made." ”
At the beginning of the morning, the benefits are self-evident: "One is the holy bow is clear, the second is the court is serious, the third is that the attendants and guards are not tired, and they can rectify the court, the fourth is that the civil and military officials will not be slack, and they can handle government affairs, and the fifth is that the bell is knotted, and it can be heard in a city, and the sixth is that the introduction is periodical, and it is deliberately shrugged to pay homage." In one fell swoop, the world will praise the saints. ”
The officials who can participate in the court meeting are called "pre-court officials" and "Beijing court officials", and they all wear tooth plates. Every time there is a court meeting, the stars and the moon are not dispersed, and they must rush to the imperial city and walk in from the east and west Chang'an gates.
The Ming Dynasty is still more sympathetic to officials, in order to facilitate the officials to wait for the court to "wait for leakage", there are many court houses built in the imperial city, and the officials sit here according to their grades.
As a preferential treatment for close ministers, there are special duty rooms within the end door. In the right gate, it is the Jinyi guard duty room, there are three other rooms next to it, it is the Hanlin duty room, when waiting for the dynasty, the university scholars live in the north, the bachelors are in the middle, and the rest live in the south.
In addition, on the left side of the end door, there are five duty rooms, also known as "board room", which is the Zhan Mansion, the left and right spring fangs, and the place where the officials of the Department of Economic Affairs are waiting for the court. (The above is the body in charge of the affairs of the East Palace)
Chen Mo rushed in time, and when he arrived, the hundred officials had been waiting for a long time, but there was still some time before the official court meeting, and they had not yet entered from the left and right doors.
He is a celebrity, however, it is not as good as in later generations, the media is developed, and celebrities have almost no privacy. Although he is famous, most of these officials have only heard of his name, and not many have actually seen him. In addition, he acted in a low-key manner, wearing only a cyan patch on his body, and did not wear a scarlet robe that represented his identity, because of his arrival, there were no ripples, and he did not attract everyone's attention at all.
However, those who had participated in the handover meeting of the head of Qinghedian felt a little strange when they saw him coming, especially when they saw him go straight to the university taxi room, they were even more curious, and at the same time a question arose: What is he doing here?
Silence didn't have the heart to guess everyone's thoughts, after entering the duty room, he first saluted with a group of old men in scarlet robes, and then glanced at Zhang Siwei, seeing that he nodded slightly, he was relieved to hold Shen Shixing, and said while walking outside the duty room: "The elder comes with our family, and our family has something important to say to you!" ”
Shen Shixing was already a little weak-hearted, but seeing Chen Mo's mysterious appearance at this moment, he became more and more uneasy. However, he has been a person who has been in the sea for a long time, and he is not comparable to those hairy boys who have just entered the officialdom, his face is silent, and he followed Chen Mo out of the duty room, until he stood still behind the duty room, and then asked Chen Mo: "What is the matter with Xiao Chen's father-in-law looking for this official?" It's about to be a big court, can't you say it when you go to court? Between the words, he deliberately revealed a trace of displeasure, but he was very precise and did not make people feel that he was holding a shelf.
Old fox, still pretending to be garlic with Lao Tzu!
Chen Mo secretly slandered, the corners of his mouth curled, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but our family suddenly got a piece of news, thinking that the elder may not know yet, so he is in a hurry to tell you." ”
"What's the news?" Shen Shixing was stunned, his heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he asked calmly.
"Zhang Yunling is dead, I don't know if Shen Ge Lao heard the rumors?" Chen Mo said slowly, his eyes were bright, staring at Shen Shixing without blinking, and with the red dot between his eyebrows, he actually looked a little charming.
His voice was not loud, but in Shen Shixing's ears, it was like a thunderclap, and his mind was racing: "What does he mean by this?" Why did he make this clear at this juncture, could it be that he heard something that could not be done? ”
This thought flashed through him, he was calm, his demeanor had returned to normal, and he pretended to have a strange look: "No, why didn't the official hear the wind at all?" Where did my father-in-law get the news? ”
"Elder Ge, don't care where our family got the news from, if you don't believe it, after a while, you will know that our family's news is accurate...... Listen, the drum is sounding, it's time for the elder to go to court, our family won't delay you, if the elder has time at night, our family will go to the elder and say goodbye! ”
Chen Mo said, turned around and left, not giving Shen Shixing a chance to speak at all.
The bells and drums of Wufenglou rang for a long time, Shen Shixing had the intention to stop Chen Mo and had no time, secretly scolded the little fox, stepped on the point, right, turned around and went back to the duty room uneasily, cleaned up his clothes, followed Zhang Siwei, and slowly walked out of the duty room to the left door, thinking about Zhang Siwei's ambiguous smile, his heart became more and more uneasy.
