On the morning of this day, the Qianqing Palace was full of ministers who came to the court, but Emperor Jianxi never appeared.

The sun was almost over, and Huang Chongde personally came to pass on the emperor's message, saying that the dragon body was not safe, and it would not be able to go to court this morning.

The eunuchs of the celebrant took all the folds that the courtiers were going to deliver today, the ministers whispered to each other and dispersed, but the cabinet members did not leave, but stayed.

"Today's cabinet deliberations are also suspended." Huang Chongde spoke a little tiredly—his eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear that he hadn't closed them that night.

Zhang Shouzhong looked at King Gong in front of him, and saw that he had kept his head down, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

After thinking about it, Zhang Shouzhong took a step forward, "Huang Gonggong! ”

Huang Chongde stopped and turned around, "Is there anything else to do with Master Zhang?" ”

Zhang Shouzhong's eyes burned, "The military department has important matters, and you must see the emperor in person!" ”

Song Bozong glanced at Zhang Shouzhong, his eyes were slightly rippling, and he said in a low voice, "The military department has something important, why didn't you hand over the fold just now?" ”

"It's because it's an important and urgent matter that I don't hand over the fold." Zhang Shouzhong replied in a loud voice, "I received news at home this morning, saying that an order was issued from the cabinet last night, asking General Shen to rush to Qinzhou with his Flying Tiger Battalion...... I am a secretary of the military department, and I didn't know the news until the general left the city——"

"What's so strange about that." Song Bozong replied indifferently, "Could it be that the emperor has a will, and he still needs to get the consent of Lord Zhang first?" ”

"Of course you don't need to, but the Ministry of War wants to confirm that this is indeed the emperor's will!" Zhang Shouzhong retorted sharply, "The crisis of the displaced people in the city has just been resolved, and the 20,000 victims outside the city are still being resettled.

Song Bozong let out two sneers, "Then Lord Zhang might as well ask Gonggong Huang whether this will was made by His Majesty personally." ”

Zhang Shouzhong's gaze immediately turned to Huang Chongde.

Huang Chongde bowed to Zhang Shouzhong, "It is indeed His Majesty who personally approved the red." ”

Zhang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, "When?" ”

"Last night." Huang Chongde replied softly, "After nightfall yesterday, the emperor approved it when the Song Pavilion was playing a mystery. ”

"Xuanxuan ......" Zhang Shouzhong frowned slightly.

It was indeed more dangerous than he had imagined.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jianxi, Emperor Jianxi suddenly ordered that all the twists and turns related to his Xuan Xiu could directly bypass the existing approval process and be directly sent to the Yang Xin Palace for him to see—such as the congratulatory tables of the ministers, the auspicious gifts from all over the country, and the progress of the construction of temples related to Xuan Xiu everywhere......

This incident caused an uproar in the court, and the criticism of the courtiers came in a surge.

And Song Bozong also braved the world's disapproval at this time, and took the initiative to stand up and say that even if these twists and turns were sorted out separately, there were too many.

The emperor has a lot of opportunities, so it seems inconvenient.

Therefore, he proposed a very detailed plan - the master of ceremonies should follow certain principles, fold these messy pieces through the preliminary screening several times, and then submit them to Emperor Jianxi for review after sorting out the priorities, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.

Emperor Jianxi was very satisfied with Song Bozong's proposal and directly handed over the matter to Song Bozong himself.

So every evening, Song Bozong had to go to the palace and report the mysterious events of today's day to Emperor Jianxi in person, which was for the "Xuanjuan".

Over time, in the daily solo recital, the king and the minister will talk more than just metaphysical things.

The turmoil above the court, and all kinds of rumors outside the court...... Through this convenient Xuan, it was transmitted from the mouth of Song Bozong to the ears of Emperor Jianxi.

After years of getting along, the emperor's likes and dislikes, there is probably no one in the Manchu Dynasty who knows better than Song Bozong.

"What other questions does Lord Zhang have?" Song Bozong glanced at Zhang Shouzhong with a deep gaze.

Zhang Shouzhong and Sun Beiji both looked at King Gong in unison.

There are some things that they can't talk about anymore.

King Gong's face turned slightly pale, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, his throat moved first, and then he whispered, "That...... Huang Gonggong. ”

"Lord Wang, please speak." Huang Chongde replied respectfully.

"This king wants to ...... Go and see my father. Prince Gong said in a low voice, "I heard that my father urgently summoned the imperial doctor into the palace last night, but I don't know what it is now...... How's it going? ”

Huang Chongde sighed, he turned his back and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty also mentioned you this morning...... In the end, it is father and son, or do they remember each other, the prince will come with the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will help you enter the palace of the heart and spread the word, maybe the emperor really wants to see you. ”

Hearing this, Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong's eyes lit up slightly.

Song Bozong lowered his eyes and did not speak.

"Okay, my lords," Huang Chongde bowed slightly to everyone, "the slave and maid have to go back quickly, if there is nothing else, let's disperse." ”

The father and son of the Song family, Sun and Zhang all bowed slightly, which can be regarded as saying goodbye to Huang Chongde.

King Gong followed Huang Chongde out of the palace gate first, and then Sun Zhang and the others also bowed slightly to Song Bozong and watched him and Song Ne leave the palace.

"Pavilion Old ......" Zhang Shouzhong looked at Sun Beiji with some uncontrollably.

"Don't worry." Sun Beiji looked at the Song father and son playfully, "We...... Let's go back to the palace and wait for news. ”

……

"This is so suspicious!"

In the long corridor of the palace, Zhang Shouzhong deliberately lowered his voice, but the fierceness of his tone was already indignant.

Sun Beiji was silent.

"Even if the emperor really wants Shen Jichuan to go to Qinzhou, it will never be now!" Zhang Shouzhong spoke quickly, "One-third of the city's defense in the capital was originally transferred to support the suburbs of Beijing, and having the Flying Tiger Battalion in charge is somewhat reassuring, not to mention that His Majesty has been looking for a doctor for Shen Jichuan, and he was promoted to Bai Ling's position in the past two days——"

"I understand." Sun Beiji interrupted Zhang Shouzhong's words, and he blinked slowly, "Things are really strange. ”

Zhang Shouzhong looked at Sun Beiji, "...... What was the elder thinking along the way? Can you tell me about the late students? ”

"I'm thinking about Grandpa Huang's words." Sun Beiji's footsteps stopped, "Gonggong Huang can't lie, and he doesn't need to lie-"

"Could it be that the elder also believes that this order is from His Majesty?"

Sun Beiji shook his head, "I believe that this order was not His Majesty's intention, but I also believe that it was indeed approved by His Majesty himself. ”

Zhang Shouzhong frowned, "What does Elder Ge mean......?" ”

"Think about how many folds were delivered from the country to the capital every day," Sun Beiji said in a low voice, "Among the many folds, there are always a few letters that count the guilt of the Song Party, but the emperor never reads them." Did Song Bozong privately detain these folds? ”

Sun Beiji directly asked himself and replied, "No." ”

Zhang Shouzhong already understood.

Sun Beiji's eyes were piercing, "No one dares to deduct the excerpts of local officials, but some excerpts will never be sent to the emperor." ”
