The sky gradually turned white and bright, and the cold wind squeezed into the cracks of the doors and windows of the "Qinzheng Palace" with a damp breath. Like a group of naughty naughty boys, they drilled into the necks and hearts of hundreds of civil and military officials, so irritated that many officials standing in the court shrank their necks and put their hands in the sleeves of their robes to keep warm!

A few even hid behind others and whispered: Your Majesty, today's ghost weather is really not suitable for standing for a long time. You should be merciful and merciful and announce the "dispersal of the dynasty" as soon as possible!

On the contrary, those officials who stand up straight as soon as they enter the "Diligent Government Palace". But he looked at the emperor in the Jinluan Palace with a pair of eyes wide open, and secretly guessed in his heart: Today, what national affairs will the emperor talk about?

At this moment, even Emperor Yongxi is wearing a "mink yellow dragon robe". I can't help but quietly stomp my feet to keep warm!

However, no matter how cold and cold the early winter morning is. An "imminent" question, but it haunts his heart all the time!

Emperor Yongxi picked up the "golden cup" on the pattern, took two sips and said: Ladies and gentlemen, today Empress Hua reluctantly believed the lies I made. Hey, as the old saying goes, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles"! The second prince Chongxi died on the cement pillar outside the "heavenly prison", if it reaches the ears of the two uncles stationed on the southwest border. Then I will be "in jeopardy"!

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Empress Hua's two elder brothers all possess evil arts. The most important thing is to find a skilled person who can crack the evil arts! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, who among you is willing to go to the people. Seek for me to find a capable person who can crack the evil art and be loyal to my dynasty?

Hearing this, the officials who shrunk their necks and put their hands in the sleeves of their robes to keep warm. They all closed their mouths and turned their heads around!

Hey, it doesn't matter which dynasty and which generation of the court. There must be a master who is exactly like these officials! Don't look at them all closing their mouths and turning their heads around, but in fact, they are secretly beating their own little Jiujiu in their hearts: Your Majesty, what are you talking about, I am looking at the country. That's not all your own society! What does it matter to us?

In their hearts, there is an eternal belief: no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, we are still humble courtiers. Now, there is no need to go to the people for the emperor's micro-service. Frightened, visit all over the world for him! The world is unpredictable, the rivers and lakes are so sinister, and if we don't do it well, we will lose our own heads. It's not a good deal!

Of course, there will also be many loyal ministers who are wholeheartedly patriotic and protective of the country. Right now, there are many officials with straight waists walking to the center of the court. Holding the "admonition" in his hand, he raised it to his chest and shouted: Your Majesty, the country is ruined, and the husband is responsible. Wechen is willing to serve the people for me, and visit the talented people who crack the evil art for you!

As soon as their words landed, Emperor Yongxi couldn't help but stand up and said with tears in his eyes: Ladies and gentlemen, you have done this profound and righteous act. It is a great blessing for my dynasty and a great blessing for the people! At noon today, I will give you delicious wine and food and customs clearance charms outside the Xuanwu Gate!

As he spoke, he glanced at the officials who were looking around with their heads and said in a majestic tone: "What is the use of waiting for you to eat the king's affairs and be disloyal to the king's order? You should have been abolished from your official position, but today there are many ministers who are willing to "share my worries and solve problems" for me. I'm in a good mood at this time, so I'll demote all of you to an official position and a level to "set an example"!

Hearing this, the officials who were scolded immediately walked out of the line and came to the center of the court. He lifted the hem of his robe and bowed down to Emperor Yongxi, bent his knees, and bowed down three times, and then fell on the ground and shouted in unison: Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor. Hooray!

Emperor Yongxi waved his big hand in his nostrils, and said angrily: Hmph, wait for "nothing to do with yourself, hang it high". I hope that after you go back, you will seriously reflect on it, and go to the "Internal Affairs Office" to change your official positions and affairs!

Then, he shouted in a soothing tone: Lord Yao and Lord Ju of the Internal Affairs Office obey the order, and I give the officials who just stood up and are willing to "share worries and solve problems" for me. All of them will be promoted to an official position and a first-level salary!

Those officials who voluntarily stood up and asked for their lives also lifted the hem of their robes and bent down to Emperor Yongxi three times. Then he fell to the ground and shouted in unison: Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor. Hooray!

Emperor Yongxi spread out his hands and made a gesture of "please", and said gently: Ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely moved by your loyalty and protection of the country. Let's get flat!

Suddenly, the little eunuch Dezi ran to the outside of the "Qinzheng Palace" with small steps. Bent down and humbly shouted: The emperor is wise, and the slave has something to say!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi turned to him and said nonchalantly: Little Dezi, just come on!

As soon as his words landed, Xiao Dezi's eyes swept towards the civil and military officials of the "Qinzheng Palace". Don't speak!

Seeing this, Emperor Yongxi couldn't help but smile and said: Xiao Dezi, see that you are only about fifteen years old. I really can't believe that you have a lot of eyes!

As he spoke, he turned to the civil and military officials under the court and shouted: Today's state affairs are discussed here. I still have the old saying that whoever leaks what has been discussed by the court recently will be "cut down all over the house". Retreat!

The civil and military officials shouted three times as if they had made an appointment, "Long live my emperor, long live." Only then did they stand up and walk out of the "Diligent Government Palace" one after another, and when those officials who were demoted walked to the door, they would say: Xiao Dezi, you are really a "small ghost"!

Those officials who stood up straight in the cold had nothing in their minds. Seeing Xiao Dezi's cautious attitude just now, they have already guessed: This little eunuch wants to tell the emperor about it, and it will definitely not be simple!

Therefore, when they walked to the door, they would lower their voices and say: "Little Dezi, we have the heart to serve the country. Can you stay and listen to you?

However, the little eunuch Dezi still shook his head and said: Ladies and gentlemen, I can see that you are all good officials. But I've been asked to pass on the word! If people don't let this matter go public, I have to "keep my mouth shut" and abide by it. I can only say "I'm sorry" to you!

Hearing this, these loyal and upright officials had no choice but to turn around and leave. On the bluestone slab behind him, the whispers of several people fell: Now, we don't know who the person who entrusted the little eunuch Dezi to deliver the message to the emperor is. Naturally, you won't understand, is this person a good person or a bad person?

Immediately, several other people picked up the conversation: the little eunuch Dezi was only a child of about fifteen years old, and he definitely lacked the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. In case he is coerced and lured by the bad guys to coax the emperor into the trap he has carefully set. The consequences will be unimaginable!

The first few to speak were not to be left behind, and said: Yesterday, the emperor sent four "guards with knives in front of the emperor" to go to Huayang County in southern Jiangsu with Lin Yushi. Today, the other four don't know why they didn't come to the court. The emperor's current exit commission is really dangerous! One more heart asked the little eunuch Dezi, but he insisted on "keeping his mouth shut". What can I do?

Later, a few people who spoke suddenly pointed to the bushes south of the "Qinzheng Palace" and said, "Hey, we can hide there first." When the little eunuch Dezi turned around and left with the emperor, we quietly followed them and marked them along the way. You should hurry up and look for it in the palace, and the four "guards with swords in front of the court" who didn't come to the court today will come with you!

Hearing this, the first few to speak clapped their hands and said, "Okay, just do it."

As soon as their words landed, the group hurriedly ran into the bushes south of the "Qinzheng Palace". One by one, they all turned around and opened their eyes wide!

Suddenly, they saw: The four "guards with swords in front of the palace" who did not come to the court today actually climbed into the "Qinzheng Palace" on their knees with thorns tied to their shirts!

The scene in front of him stimulated the officials hiding in the bushes as if they had made an appointment. looked at each other and threw out the questions in their hearts: these four were still alive when they went to court yesterday, and the emperor didn't say anything wrong in the "Qinzheng Palace" just now. Hey, what's going on with them like this?

While speaking, the group had already rushed out of the bushes to the outside of the "Diligent Government Palace". Emperor Yongxi's exclamation immediately entered the ears of the big guy: Four guards, you follow me to "throw your head and spill blood" to fight the country. They are all my great heroes! You haven't made any mistakes of "taking pride in your achievements", but why do you want to come to me to "take the guilt" at this time?

Then, the four "guards with knives in front of the emperor" said in a loud voice: Your Majesty, you don't know anything. Let's talk against Queen Hua on the edge of the arc-shaped round hole on the east side of the "Changle Palace"! provoked her to rush in angrily and slam the door with a "bang", and she must still be sulking now. Let's sincerely accept any punishment from the emperor, even if you give us a pot of "Heding Red" now!

Hearing this, the officials outside the "Diligent Administration Palace" couldn't help but suddenly realize and say: My God, it turns out that this is the case. No wonder you have to avoid civil and military officials!

As soon as the words popped out, the big guy couldn't help muttering nervously: Oh, Queen Hua has always been pampered, sinister and cunning. These four actually contradicted this difficult master, isn't this "a lion's head scratching"! Now, that woman must have rushed to the "Diligent Palace" to complain to the emperor. The matter is already "imminent", we must hurry up to a few people to invite Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu. Come here and exonerate them!

Immediately, a few people sighed and said: One of them fell to the ground and broke his knee, and the other occasionally felt a cold and had a high fever and cough. The emperor postponed the execution of the rebel minister Ning Feihu, and blessed them with no need to go to court for the past four days! Hey, they have a rare opportunity to recuperate in peace. I'm afraid you won't necessarily come to the palace to ask for trouble!

Soon, their colleagues blurted out a rebuttal: Liang Shangshu and Yu Chengxiang were loyal and upright, and the four "guards with swords in front of the emperor" were "guilty of Jing pleading" just because they contradicted Empress Hua. If they knew, they would definitely come to the palace "non-stop" to exonerate them!

As they spoke, they turned and ran towards the gate of the palace. The remaining officials put their heads together and whispered: Later, when Empress Hua rushed to "complain" to the emperor. Let's all have to "admonish each other with death" together, and beg the emperor to let go of the four "guards with knives in front of the emperor"!

As soon as the words slipped out, everyone invariably nodded their heads like "chickens pecking rice". At the same time, I pricked up my ears and listened to the conversation in the "Diligent Government Palace"!

At this time, Emperor Yongxi shook his head and said: The four guards, even I have to give her a few points for the sake of Empress Hua's two brothers who have evil arts. I've told you again and again that I'll find someone who can bring down her two brothers. Naturally, I can let you follow me and be an upright person!

Speaking of the depressed place, he couldn't help but sigh and said: Hey, if it weren't for Chongxi, the second prince of the East Palace, who collided on the cement pillar in front of the "Heavenly Prison" and died. I will not issue an order to the officials and the people to look for capable people who can lower the two Chinese generals this morning! I am the Son of Heaven today, and I can endure it for more than ten years. Why can't you endure it any longer?

Li Guardie said neither humbly nor arrogantly: Your Majesty, you are humble because you are standing in front of the arc-shaped round hole on the east side of the "Changle Palace" and thinking about things. I forgot to answer a few questions from Queen Hua! She pointed at my nose and shouted insults, and I was so angry that I replied, "You can't kill me." She also tapped her head and tried to come up with the question she asked, but she couldn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time. Let her repeat the question she asked!

Hearing this, the three companions kneeling beside him hurriedly said: Your Majesty, if it were the former queen who listened to Li Guard's explanation. There will be no objections! However, Queen Hua first insulted him loudly, and then slapped him twice with "pop, pop". We couldn't stand it anymore, so we made a fuss at her by contradicting her. We just feel that the emperor is embarrassed, so we come here to "bear the guilt"!

As soon as their words landed, Emperor Yongxi said in an eager tone: "The four guards, and the other four guards have now gone to the county government of Huayang County in southern Jiangsu with Lin Yushi. The resourceful Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu are quietly cultivating in the mansion again!

Speaking of this, he hung his head and said: If Queen Hua was angry, she released carrier pigeons to report to her two brothers. I didn't send officials to look for talented people everywhere, and when the two Hua generals with evil arts returned to Beijing to avenge their sister. There's no way the four of you can beat them! What will I do to save you and your families?

Hearing this, several officials who were hiding outside the door of the "Qinzheng Palace" and eavesdropping rushed in. One by one, they knelt on both sides of the four "guards with knives in front of the emperor", holding high the "admonition" and shouting together: The emperor is clear, and Queen Hua has always been arrogant, domineering, insidious and cunning. Today's incident is clearly not the fault of the four guards!

As they spoke, these officials bent down and bowed three times and said: Your Majesty, if the two Chinese generals really return to Beijing to avenge their sister. Although you deduced that it was the ministers who instructed them to contradict Empress Hua, we are willing to die for them. I must not lose four generals in the DPRK!

The four "guards with swords in front of the Emperor" were moved to tears, and at this moment they didn't feel any pain in their bodies at all. They turned to the officials kneeling beside them as if they had made an appointment, and their four heads shook like "rattles in the hands of merchants"!

At the same time, the four mouths moved rapidly: Several old ministers, you also have your own wives and children. You can't die for us! Today, the reason why we are here to "plead guilty" to the emperor. I just beg the emperor to remember the hard work we had at the beginning, and don't let the two Chinese generals affect our wives and children!

Saying and talking----, Siwei was a dignified nine-foot man with tears in his eyes: "It's best, the emperor will give our family members a gift today, and leave the capital and fly away." When the two generals return to Beijing to avenge their sister, we can fight with them without concern and with all our attention!

The words of the four "four with swords in front of the emperor" made Emperor Yongxi and several officials unable to help but burst into tears. They said in unison: It turns out that you have come here to "bear the guilt of Jing". It's all for the freedom of your family!

With a series of rapidly running footsteps of "pop, pop", it exploded in the corridor outside the "Qinzheng Palace". Two familiar voices slipped in: Your Majesty, it is impossible for Chongxi, the second prince of the East Palace, to be resurrected now. Right now, you have no way out but to actively prepare your troops to fight the two Hua generals who possess evil arts!

Hearing this, the "Qinzheng Palace" immediately boiled like a boiling pot. Everyone couldn't help but turn around and look outside, and said with joy: Oops, the resourceful Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu are finally here. That's great!

As soon as their words landed, Liang Shangshu and Yu Chengxiang's feet stepped in one after another. Immediately after that, there were several other officials with straight waists!

Then, the two important ministers of the court said anxiously: Your Majesty, you quickly give the eight family members of the "Imperial Sword Guard" the "customs clearance charm". Let them leave the capital today and fly away!

As soon as the words came out, they immediately dragged up the four "guilty people" who were kneeling on the ground. While tearing off the iron ropes that bound the thorns on their backs, he said in a concerned tone: "Four guards, we have already written a "ciphertext" for your four companions. And sent an official to fly to Huayang County in southern Jiangsu, and it is estimated that they will be able to return to the capital in two days!

As they spoke, they had removed the thorns from the four "Imperial Guards with Blades". Stroking the scars that fell into the muscles, the two couldn't help but say with tears in their eyes: "Four guards, you are in pain, cold and suffering. Hurry back to the mansion to wash your wounds and put on your clothes, and we will negotiate with the emperor here for a few strategies to deal with the two Hua generals!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi's long-suppressed heart. It was as if someone had moved a huge stone, and he shouted in a comfortable mood: Little Dezi, go to the "Privy Council" to pass on my message to Lord Wang and Lord She. They quickly sent someone to send the "customs clearance charm" to the mansion of the eight "guards with knives in front of the palace", and were responsible for sending their family members through the checkpoints smoothly!

When the officials, who were still kneeling on the ground, heard this, they were ecstatic and got up and straightened their backs. Like a few children, they hugged their colleagues and cheered: Long live my emperor, long live----
