When Li Yuntian arrived at the Imperial Garden, the officials of the major ministries and the left and right governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion were already waiting in the open space in front of the Qin'an Palace, and they gathered there in groups to talk. It is recommended to read novels, read books, and read the Internet

According to today's affairs flow, Emperor Hongxi was supposed to summon these officials and governors in the Qianqing Palace, but they were sent here with Emperor Hongxi's dictation.

No one, including Yang Shiqi, noticed anything unusual about this change of location, and Emperor Hong Xi, as the Son of Heaven, naturally had the right to choose the location of the hundred officials.

"It's not your turn to rest today, why are you here?" Zhou Zheng, who was talking and laughing with others, was the first to notice Li Yuntian, so he beckoned to him, and asked with some surprise after calling him over.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law received the emperor's dictation, but I don't know what happened." Li Yuntian bowed to Zhou Zheng and said quietly.

"Since even Yuntian doesn't know, it seems that the emperor has something big to announce." Hearing this, Zhang Hao, the governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion on the side, said with a smile.

Since Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao, the right governor of the Qianjun Governor's Mansion, were reused by Emperor Hongxi because they blocked the Han King from entering the city.

Li Yuntian stood aside in an orderly manner, listening to Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao and others talking and laughing, there was no place for him to speak on this kind of occasion.

He secretly observed the situation at the scene, and from the current situation, he did not suspect that Emperor Hong Xi had summoned the ministers in the Qin'an Palace this time, hoping that the situation could develop according to the track he had set in advance.

Not long after, everyone at the scene turned around curiously and looked at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, only to see several attendants leading a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes to come over.

The middle-aged Taoist priest in the lead has a wisp of beautiful hair under his chin, and his appearance is dignified, with the touch of a fairy wind and bones, but the eye circles of his eyes are made of black ink and some strange symbols, which looks a little weird.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was naturally Su Bolang, Li Yuntian looked at him with some surprise, and couldn't understand what symbol Su Bolang drew on his eyes, completely destroying the image of a master in the world.

In fact, Su Bolang did this because of his bitterness, early this morning, a fat middle-aged man who was richly dressed and angry broke into the house with the servants of Shuntianfu to arrest him, because the young woman he slept with last night was the concubine of the fat middle-aged man, and he took advantage of the fat middle-aged man to go out to do business.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, adultery or **** will be punished, in case that concubine insists on Su Bolang**, then Su Bolang's life will be gone. The update is the fastest and most stable

The fat middle-aged man was excited, and punched Su Bolang in the face, which made one of Su Bolang's eye sockets become a panda eye, and just when the fat middle-aged man wanted to punch Su Bolang's second punch, the chamberlain who came to the palace to spread the word of Emperor Hongxi arrived in time, and then saved Su Bolang's life.

When they learned that Su Bolang was announced into the palace by Emperor Hong Xi, the fat middle-aged man and the servants of Shuntian Mansion who came to arrest him were dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out what Su Bolang was about, and he had something to do with Emperor Hong Xi.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Su Bolang was too lazy to deal with the fat middle-aged man, so he hurriedly beckoned his disciples to pack up his belongings, and hurriedly entered the palace with the inner attendant.

Under the surprised gaze of the ministers at the scene, Su Bolang and his party walked past them, bypassed the Qin'an Palace, and went to the Zhenwu Hall behind, and began to set up the altar in an orderly manner in the open space in front of the Zhenwu Palace, and even set up an oil pot.

Although Su Bolang has opened the altar countless times, he is already familiar with the road and is at ease, but he feels an inexplicable nervousness at this moment, you must know that this is the Forbidden City, and the visitors are the most powerful high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty, which is very different from his usual practice among the people.

With the arrival of Su Bolang and others, the officials of the various ministries and the governors of the five prefectures who were waiting for Emperor Hongxi to be summoned in front of the Qin'an Palace immediately gathered together and whispered, it seems that Emperor Hongxi wants to do a ritual in the Zhenwu Palace, but the leading Taoist is ruthless, and he is not the famous Taoist in the capital, and he does not know that he was invited from that treasure temple.

"The queen has arrived!" Just when everyone was whispering there, a duck-like voice sounded, and I saw a large group of people coming from the direction of the entrance of the imperial garden, and it turned out to be Empress Zhang's jade chariot.

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Seeing this, the civil and military officials at the scene hurriedly bowed down and saluted Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang's jade chariot stopped in front of the Qin'an Palace, and after getting down, she glanced around at the ministers present, and walked into the Qin'an Palace, which made the ministers unpleasantly surprised, Empress Zhang has not participated in government affairs since she took charge of the harem, and it seems that Emperor Hongxi is not going to handle official business today.

"The emperor has a decree to announce that the first assistant of the cabinet will be met by Yang University." About a cup of tea had passed, and an attendant walked out of the Qin'an Hall and shouted loudly.

Yang Shiqi was talking to Qian Yi and the others, and when he heard this, he hurriedly entered the hall, he was also confused now, and he didn't know what Emperor Hong Xi was going to do.

Li Yuntian's eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Shiqi's back, Empress Zhang would have a showdown with Yang Shiqi in the main hall, and the holy decree of summoning the prince back to Beijing should be written by Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi is the first assistant of the cabinet This matter naturally cannot be hidden from him, and Yang Shiqi is also needed to deal with it.

"Last night, the emperor dreamed of the Emperor Zhenwu at night, and the Emperor Zhenwu was enlightened, and he was ready to bathe and fast, and pray for the Ming Dynasty on the 7749th day, during which the affairs of the various ministries and institutes were decided by themselves, and the major matters were resolved by the cabinet in conjunction with the six Shangshu and the governors of the five prefectures." Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Shiqi walked out of the hall, looked around at the officials and governors in front of him, and announced in a deep voice.

Boom, the ministers suddenly became agitated when they heard this, Emperor Hongxi's decision was too unexpected, and people were talking about each other in private.

Although he was shocked, no one objected, after all, Emperor Hongxi's fasting was to pray for the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, which was an important matter for the country, and whoever wanted to oppose it would not be suspicious?

"Li Yushi, Lord Ruixiang, the emperor has an order, order the two of you to bathe and change your clothes, and incarnate as a golden boy and jade girl to accompany the saint!" Yang Shiqi ignored the reactions of the ministers at the scene, but said quietly and loudly.

"Weichen Command!" When Li Yuntian heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of the Qin'an Palace, this was the plan he thought of for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, called to accompany the driver in the Qin'an Palace, but in fact, he slipped away, and took the holy decree written by Yang Shiqi to sneak to Nanjing City to see the prince.

"The concubine is the order!" Under the gaze of everyone, a pretty girl wearing the county lord's palace skirt walked out of Empress Zhang's jade chariot team and knelt side by side with Li Yuntian.

Zhu Yuxin, the lord of Ruixiang, is the granddaughter of Zhu Yongqing, the prince of Fu, Zhu Yongqing is the cousin of Ming Taizu, nearly sixty years old, and now he is in charge of the Zongren Mansion and has the highest prestige in the imperial family.

Li Yuntian saw Zhu Yuxin for the first time, and couldn't help but glance at her from the corner of his eye, hoping that this little girl would not make any mistakes.

Zhu Yuxin was selected by Empress Zhang to cooperate with Li Yuntian to carry out the golden cicada's plan to get out of her shell, and Empress Zhang couldn't trust outsiders, so she selected the talented and intelligent Zhu Yuxin from the county lord of the royal family.

"During the emperor's fasting period, the Venerable Yuanxia of Yuanxia Mountain will open the altar and set up a large array of yin and yang five elements in the Qin'an Palace to prevent the invasion of evil demons, so it is necessary for five people to guard the five elements of the large array to protect the emperor."

Just when the ministers looked at Li Yuntian and Zhu Yuxin with surprised expressions, Yang Shiqi spoke again and said loudly, "Wait for you to go to the Zhenwu Hall with this official, and Master Yuanxia will select five people from among us to guard the five elements." ”

After speaking, Yang Shiqi got up and left, striding towards the Zhenwu Palace.

Qian Yi and Zhang Fu and the others first glanced at each other, and then hurriedly followed, although everyone heard about the Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array for the first time, they were full of doubts in their hearts, but they were full of expectations for who could be selected to protect the Dharma for Emperor Hongxi.

Master Yuanxia was naturally referring to Su Bolang, who had obtained the Dao name for himself, and it sounded imposing, like a reclusive master of the world, specially used to bluff people.

Li Yuntian and Zhu Yushan entered the Qin'an Palace, and the two heavy hall doors were slowly closed.

The hall was deserted, and the chamberlains and palace maids who were serving inside were all Empress Zhang's henchmen, and everyone looked a little nervous, with an unusually solemn look on their faces.

In the bedroom on the side of the main hall, Empress Zhang sat on the edge of the ** with a sad face, staring at Emperor Hong Xi who was lying quietly on the **, the couple had been together for many years, and the couple had a deep affection, and finally survived until Emperor Hong Xi ascended the throne, but I didn't think that Emperor Hong Xi would die suddenly, which made Queen Zhang's heart like a knife, and she was very sad.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Li Yuntian and Zhu Yushan knelt in front of the ** in unison.

"Li Yushi, the palace has already covered the emperor's imperial treasure on the holy decree, you have to keep it properly, you must send it to the prince's hands, and bring the prince back to the capital safely."

Empress Zhang looked up at Li Yuntian, waved her hand at Manager Wu who was standing on the side, and said solemnly.

Chief Manager Wu held a piece of yellow silk in his hand, and handed it to Li Yuntian when he saw this, this piece of yellow silk was a holy decree written by Yang Shiqi, with which the prince could return to Beijing justifiably.

"The queen can rest assured, Weichen will go all out and go to the soup and fire, at any cost." Li Yuntian took the yellow silk with both hands, held it high, and said in a deep voice.

"Have you written it all?" Empress Zhang stared at Li Yuntian for a while, got up and came to him, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear before asking in a deep voice.

"Wechen has taken it to heart." Li Yuntian nodded heavily when he heard this, in order to make the prince trust Li Yuntian, Empress Zhang told him some of the prince's private affairs.

"Send the emperor away." Empress Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and stared at Emperor Hong Xi sadly for a while, then closed her eyes and said.

It is now the end of May, and it is about to enter June, the weather is hot, and Emperor Hong Xi must not stay here, otherwise the body will definitely decompose.

It is worth mentioning that the ancient months were calculated according to the lunar calendar, so if it is converted to the Gregorian calendar, the weather can be imagined in July, which is about to enter the Gregorian calendar.

"Send your majesty!" Hearing this, Chief Manager Wu bowed to Emperor Hong Xi and said respectfully.

Several chamberlains immediately brought a large cabinet and carefully put Emperor Hongxi's body inside, and a chamberlain who looked like Emperor Hongxi put on Emperor Hongxi's dragon robe and pretended to be Emperor Hongxi to stay in the Qin'an Palace.

Empress Zhang did not stay for long, and after instructing Li Yuntian and Zhu Yushan for a few words, she asked the chamberlain to leave with the cabinet, and secretly sent someone to place the body of Emperor Hong Xi in an ice cellar in the palace, and sent her henchmen to guard it day and night.
