"Son-in-law, it's no longer safe at home, do you want to move Jiao Hong to a safe place?" Lin Tianxing built yì road.

"No, this will be in the hands of the East Factory!" Cai Jin said, "Dongchang may not be sure that Jiao Hong is in Mengfu, if we transfer Jiao Hong, the news may be exposed, if they intercept it halfway, everything they did before will be in vain!" ”

"In broad daylight, do the people of Dongchang dare to intercept and kill on the street?"

"Of course they won't be so stupid, but finding a reason to check or something, it's completely possible, a big living person, how to hide?"

"It's not okay for the living, it's okay for the dead, right?"

"There is no need for this, although there is no direct evidence of Xi'er's death and Jiao Hong, but the suspicion of Jiao's sister and brother is the greatest!" Meng Yan Road.

"Are you going to make the news of Jiao Hong's arrest public?"

"Yes, instead of hiding it, it is better to simply announce it to the public, but I will not announce the place where Jiao Hong is detained, so that he can stand in the court alive." Meng Yan Road.

"This is a way, in that case, you and Dongchang will be facing each other openly!" Wen Dudrunk said worriedly.

"Well, this is a battle that we can't afford to lose, and we must win it to have a chance to live!" Meng Yan's eyes were resolute, "No matter what the price is, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

"When is this time to make the announcement?"

"After tomorrow's big dynasty, whoever doesn't let me have a bad Chinese New Year's Eve, I will let him have a bad New Year's Day!"

"Stone, don't be impulsive!"

"Mr. Wen. You can rest assured, now everything is still in the dark and under control. Meng Yan said.

"Well, be careful yourself!"

"Shen Cong, it's not too early, prepare court clothes for me, whatever you have in the kitchen, noodles or something, cook a bowl for everyone." Meng Yan commanded.

"There were no noodles, there were dumplings. And glutinous rice balls! ”

"Let's make dumplings."

"I'm going to help!" Wen Xiaoyu consciously stood up and said.

"Childe. Today's court meeting is your first time to participate, there are a lot of etiquette you have to pay attention to, and now many people in the court are staring at you. Cai Jin kindly reminded.

"Thank you Mr. Cai for reminding me, I'll pay attention!"

Ate dumplings. Change into a unicorn suit. Today is the Great Pilgrimage. In the open air, I don't know how long I will stand on it, so I have to eat something. I still have to dress warmly.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is pompous, in fact, it is the courtiers who suffer, but you have to go, and you can't ask for leave yet, unless you are really sick and can't walk.

Otherwise, this is disrespect for the emperor.

He set off from his home at the same time, and when Meng Yan arrived outside Fengtian Gate, there were already many officials waiting here.

The robes of civil officials and military attaches are different, and they are listed outside the door, which can be described as distinct.

Wen left and right, Wen Chen is basically on the left side of Tianwen, and the right side is naturally a military general, and Jinyiwei is naturally among the military generals!

This civil and military generals also have their own small circles, such as various ministries, the five major governors' mansions, Jinyiwei, Shuntian Mansion, etc., and their respective officials are naturally led by their own officials, as well as the royal family of the clan, the envoys of foreign vassals, and so on.

There were more and more people, and in a short time, thousands of people gathered.

Fortunately, there is Lao Da, otherwise Meng Yan really doesn't know where to stand.

A while ago, Meng Yan was in Nanya's free clinic, and Jinyi Wei made a lot of friends, and some of them were familiar.

However, in today's dynasty, more than half of the people in the phalanx of Jinyiwei are unknown.

These people are probably those officials who rely on their ancestral shadows, who hold the court and don't do anything, so naturally they don't know each other.

There is also the relatively independent Han general camp in the Jinyi Guard, this part, Guo Nu, the commander, may not be able to command, it is the security force that guards the security of the palace, and the emperor must hand it over to the most reassuring person.

Although the emperor trusts Guo Nu, Guo Nu is in charge of the overall situation of Jinyi Wei after all, and this Han general camp needs a special commander to manage it.

However, Meng Yan didn't see these two people, it is said that they had already entered the palace, and the security measures for such a big court meeting should not be sloppy.

Therefore, Guo Nu, the chief treasurer of the internal security force, naturally had to enter the palace first to arrange a qiē.

"Uncle Fu, when are we going in?" Meng Yan leaned over to Fu Xiaochen and asked in a whisper.

"What, can't wait?"

"No, you look at the ice and snow, my hands are almost numb." Meng Yan rubbed his hands and said, even if he was prepared, it was still cold this day.

"Every one of them is for you at home?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Hand warmer!" Fu Xiaochen took out a copper zuò hand warmer from his arms and said.

"This ......"

"I can't give it to you!" Fu Xiaochen took it back like lightning, he knew that Meng Yan was a thief, if this fell into his hands, as an elder, could he still be embarrassed to ask him to come back?

"Uncle Fu, this is my first time, I don't know, where did you buy this hand warmer?" Meng Yan smiled and asked.

"In the east of the city, there is an old copper furnace shop, you can find out where you go and ask." Fu Xiaochen said with a smile.

"Uncle, you are not kind, you know that it is the first time for me to go to such a court meeting, and you don't remind me." Meng Yan said coldly.

"You have so many heads, and none of them know?"

"None of them have this experience, how can they know this!"

"Lord Meng, Lord Meng!"

"Old Niu, are you here too?" Meng Yan looked back, and the cow squeezed towards him.

"Here you go!" Niu vigorously handed Meng Yan a hand warmer.

"Lao Niu, you give me yours, what about yourself?" Meng Yan was moved.

"I have another one!" Niu Dali smiled and took out a hand warmer from his arms.

"Old cow, good brother!" Meng Yan took the warm hand and put it in his arms, and instantly felt a burst of heat from his heart.

"I knew you didn't prepare this, so I brought an extra one, and I saw that you really needed it!" Niu Dali smiled.

"Thank you, old cow. I'll ask you for a drink when I turn around. ”

"Hey......

Fu Xiaochen glanced at Niu Dali with some meaning, he hadn't noticed this honest gatekeeper before, but he didn't expect this guy to be stupid, and his heart was quite fine, especially his heart and eyes, but he was a usable person.

The accumulation of more and more people, who usually can't even see faces, has now all appeared, and some of their beards are white, and they are still supported by their subordinates.

The hour has come. The Gate of Mukden is open!

It's a big day meeting today. It's just that hundreds of officials give the emperor New Year's greetings, nothing serious, but this is a big deal.

Line up and follow the order. Those who entered the Mukden Gate in turn. The main gate in the middle can only be walked by the emperor. Hundred officials can only go through the side door.

Meng Yan, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes in later generations, didn't feel anything, but so many officials lined up neatly and meticulously entered the imperial city. It's also spectacular!

At least, in this era, that is, the Ming Dynasty can do this.

It is said that there are hundreds of civil and military officials, but in fact, there are more than 1,000 officials in the court, so most of the officials can only stand on the square outside the palace.

Only officials who have reached a certain rank or are authorized by the emperor are qualified to stand in the main hall of the Fengtian Hall and be protected from the suffering of wind and frost.

Today is not bad, the snow has stopped, the wind has stopped, but it is surprisingly cold, and Meng Yan, who was standing in the square outside the Fengtian Temple, missed his old down jacket very much.

Although I said that I wore a lot of clothes, three layers inside and three layers outside, I still couldn't stop the cold air from drilling inside.

Hey, think of it as a test of yourself!

Fortunately, there is a hand warmer given by Niu Dali, otherwise this person can freeze into an ice sculpture if he does not move for a few hours in the ice and snow.

After the annual pilgrimage meeting, there are people who can't afford to be sick, and even whining and wailing are not uncommon, why don't the old and frail stay at home and roast around the fire, and do you have to come out to catch up with this excitement?

The ancients were so stubborn in their thinking, hey!

"Lord Meng, Lord Meng......"

"Old Niu, why are you standing behind me?" Meng Yan turned his head and saw Niu Dali squeezing his eyebrows at him, their official rank was low, and their position was naturally relatively backward.

"I changed places with someone, hehe, Master Meng, I brought wine, do you want to have some?" Niu Dali took out a wine jug from his bosom as if he was playing a trick.

Rub, so is it okay?

Meng Yan's eyes widened, and he quietly looked left and right, and found that many officials were making some small movements in private, some secretly lowered their heads, reached into their arms, took out something and stuffed it into their mouths, and some deliberately pretended to cough, took out a small bottle, and took a sip......

It seems that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not all rigid!

Of course, if you do this, you can't let those eunuchs standing around see it, otherwise if you are caught, a "gentleman loses his honor", then he may lose his official position and be dismissed!

But Jinyiwei is not afraid, you must know that Jinyiwei is the emperor's garrison, and the palace guards are also composed of Jinyiwei, unless it is a eunuch with some power in his hands, no one wants to offend Jinyiwei.

What's more, the brocade guards standing here are all of high grade, different from the general brocade guards, so even if there are some small movements, they pretend not to see anything.

"Old Niu, thank you!" Meng Yan stretched out his hand to take the wine jug handed over by Niu Dali and took a sip, a spicy spicy breath penetrated his throat and stomach, and then dispersed to his limbs, and a warmth was generated.

"Hehe, little meaning, I still have a pot, you can keep that pot, I guess I will have to stand for a while!" Niu vigorously said.

In the Mukden Hall, Cabinet Scholars Chen Xun and Takaya read out the New Year's message and the year-end summary of the previous year!

The ministers in the hall listened drowsily, and the courtiers outside trembled.

The people inside don't care what the people outside are like, this congratulatory message and summary are about the same every year, long and boring.

No matter how boring it is, you still have to listen, of course, the people outside are exempt, and when you see the people inside, you will kowtow.

Not only is it a waste of time, but it also tortures people, I don't know which bastard came up with such a big worship ceremony?

Meng Yan really wanted to greet his ancestors for eighteen generations!

In the end, he was also numb, and he shouted "Long live", followed by kowtow, and it was over, and he didn't need to use his brain to think.

I finally finished reading the year-end summary, and the emperor's procedure for giving tea was over.

It's also quite humane, after standing for so long, your legs are frozen, come to a cup of hot tea to warm up, and the old can also have a stool to sit on to show preferential treatment. (To be continued......)
