With the sound of the first drum, hundreds of civil and military officials dressed in auspicious clothes gathered outside the noon gate. Stand one by one according to the previous shift of practicing etiquette. Despite the cold of the family style, the leader of the clothes. and other places are pervasive, so that many people even freeze their hands and feet, but no one dares to move half a step. Until the second drum sounded, hundreds of people entered from the left and right gates, and stood down along the left and right sides of the Danqi after crossing the Jinshui Bridge. Although there were Yushi and Honglu Temple officials staring at them, some people still glanced at the honor guard and car grid not far away, while many people were secretly looking at Tiancewei and Jin Wuwei over there.

When the third drum finally sounded, the officials who had entered the Fengtian Hall finally saw that the emperor wearing the crown of heaven had ascended the throne. Although I couldn't see what kind of facial expression it was, the sky finally appeared, so countless people breathed a sigh of relief, but there were also countless people's hearts lifted at once. However, the officials above the third rank who were able to enter the Fengtian Hall looked at each other, as if no one even noticed that there were two people missing in this place.

Whip to tell the time, the praise and singing in shifts, with the praise of the official salute and music, on the congratulatory table, and a complicated to the extreme kneeling salute, which finally reached the first highlight of the Zhengdan Dynasty. According to the usual practice, the chief and auxiliary are all acting officials, so Song Yiming took over the congratulatory watch from the hands of the praise official, and delivered a speech on behalf of the civil and military officials as always.

"Gu Guanchen is still the book of the Ministry of Rites, Song Yiming, a scholar of Huagai Palace, I meet Zhengdan, Sanyang Lane Tai, all things are salty. His Majesty the Emperor Gongwei, Yingqian Nahu, Fengtian Yongchang. ”

Although the faces of the emperor on the throne are all hidden in the crown of twelve before and after, Song Yiming is only a distance from the sky, and although he is a lot older, his eyesight is still excellent, no matter how small the fly-headed Xiaokai on the piece can be seen clearly" There is no need to mention the expression of the sky. When he led the hundred officials to kneel and bow, the corner of his eye had already seen the abnormal bright red on Tian's face, and at the same time, he also saw Imperial Doctor Lin, who was wearing a eunuch uniform on the side of Tian, bowing his head uncomfortably and silently, and sneered in his heart.

The news of the Qianqing Palace could not be concealed from him, and sure enough, it was already difficult for the emperor to attend the Zhengdan Dynasty.

This is followed by the annual system. After passing the system from the east gate, to the east of the Dan Majesty, "it is just the same as in previous years" The celebration of the end of the performance, the same as the Qing " is nothing more. If it was another prostrate salute, but there was only one more section of the mountain call, I saw that the hundred officials gave up their hands to increase the amount, and only listened to the sound of long live like a tsunami, plus the response of the teacher on the side and the captain of Tiance Wei Jinwuwei, the entire huge Forbidden City seemed to be able to hear this voice.

Until the completion of this complicated but indispensable etiquette, this ushered in the real highlight of the Zhengdan Dynasty on this day. However, when the envoys of Ceylon, Manchuria, and other countries paid tribute one by one, when the heavens on the throne saw the two envoys who were no different from their own people, they did not ask the celebrant on the side to ask if the king was safe, but coughed lightly and asked: "Has the rebellion of the kingdom been quelled?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall that was originally Ai Jing was silent, as if even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard. In front of everyone's eyes, the envoys of the Japanese State who walked in front did not bow down, but replied with their heads held high: "Returning to His Majesty the Emperor, it is just a clown who jumps three or five times, and he can be wiped out with a snap of his fingers." ”

"It is said that the king of Erguo has no longer been able to govern the inner palace, and his subordinates are planning to do so, and this is just a clown?" Although the emperor on the throne did not move, but there was a mocking expression on his face, "and, "robbing the fleet of Korean envoys returning home, detaining the envoys who escorted the mission back to China, and instigating civil strife in Korea, such an arrogant and bold act, did you dare to send people to the court?" Such a small country that is not subordinate, I am too lazy to talk nonsense, go back and wash it and wait! ”

Although the emperor was in the prime of life in the past, even in the Chang Dynasty, he often made amazing moves, but now that he has passed the season of knowing the destiny of heaven, it is naturally rare to have such a sharp edge. Therefore, this faint sentence was washed and waited, and the whole hall was shocked, and those low-grade officials who were waiting outside the hall for unknown reasons had the heart to stretch their necks to see the excitement, but the officials were lowly and small, and they could not see the scene in the high Fengtian Palace, nor could they hear the situation of the envoys and tributes inside, so they could only do it in a hurry outside.

When the emperor suddenly said such a thing, the envoys of the Japanese State were caught off guard, and the civil and military ministers next to him were naturally also caught off guard. It's just that compared to Song Yiming, the first assistant who frowned, the second assistant Du Weifang stood up and shouted at the salute officer who was stunned over there: "Your Majesty has already made a will, but you still haven't announced it?" ”

After eating and drinking, Fang immediately woke up like a dream, and said loudly to the envoy of the Japanese state: "His Majesty the emperor has a decree, and the Japanese country is not a minister, and the heavenly soldiers should be used to fight, and the envoy will retreat!" ”

Seeing that the two lieutenants quickly entered the main hall and dragged people out, the North Korean envoy Kim Congxu, who had just lagged one step behind, couldn't help but be surprised. He glanced at the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty on the ninefold throne uneasily, and immediately cautiously bowed to him according to the etiquette he had practiced in the Huitong Hall before, but did not get up at the end of the last time, but prostrated himself on the ground and said: "The minister of the Korean Dynasty ceremonies Cao sentenced Jin Congxu to envoy the Celestial Empire by the king's order. The king of the former kingdom was unscrupulous, sheltered the sea thieves, resisted the edict of the Celestial Empire, fortunately the Celestial Empire sent troops, and all the people in the country were united in their hearts, and finally deposed the faint king,""

Regarding the affairs of Korea, even the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Fengtian Temple most likely only knew about the situation when the Marquis of Zhendong led the army to attack, and they did not know what happened to this small country. Therefore, when the words of pleading and pleading were instinctively ignored by everyone, the process of deposing the lord became the most important thing. When Jin Congxu said that the former king Li Wanzhu hanged himself in the side hall after being deposed, the ministers looked at each other and did not notice Song Yiming's tightly knit brows.

The emperor had just spoken amazingly because of the few words of the envoys, but his patience at this moment seemed to be very good, until Jin Congxu finished speaking, he said lightly: "Eliminate the evil, you are now saying that you are pleading, and those remnants of the previous dynasty have really been cut down and eradicated?" ”

"Returning to His Majesty the Emperor, it is true, "..."

However, before he could finish this sentence, the emperor suddenly sneered: "In this case, why did this Japanese and Korean assassins run rampant in my capital, and even assassinated the Marquis of Yangning?" ”

If the previous emperor's words only surprised the ministers, then, at this moment, the faces in the hall seemed to freeze instantly. Especially Song Yiming, the head of the house, he almost subconsciously raised his head and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids beside the emperor, and saw that these people were also shocked, he immediately turned his head and glanced at Du Weifang and Zhang Wenhan next to him. However, Du Weifang, as usual, couldn't see any clues from that face, while Zhang Wenhan frowned thoughtfully, then looked at him sideways as if he was aware, and nodded lightly.

"Lord Yuanfu, it seems that you don't have to worry about it, the emperor is already confident."

If you want to put it on weekdays, Song Yiming naturally doesn't care, but the sudden appearance of such an episode at this time today undoubtedly means that the emperor already knows the news of the assassination of Chen Ying, Marquis of Yangning, so how can he not worry? Seeing that the Korean envoy who was prostrate on the ground raised his head suddenly, his face was first puzzled, then panicked, and he couldn't help but look at the others below. Sure enough, someone immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the assassination of the Marquis of Yangning has not yet been decided, and it may not have been committed by the assassins of the Korean or Japanese countries," ..."

"Then you mean that the news sent back by Zhendong Hou is fake?"

The emperor cut off the conversation again, and when he saw that the minister who had opened his mouth was dumbfounded, he laughed and said, "If it weren't for the rampant assassins, how could I have sent an elite to protect the mansion of the emperors?" You know, the cost of just a few days is not small, and in the recital that the household department gave to me, I have already called out a lot of bitterness, saying that it is expensive and inconvenient, but if this kind of assassination happens to any of the secretaries in broad daylight, will you still complain? ”

The minister who spoke was choked by the emperor's words, saying that it was not good, and that it was not good to answer, otherwise it would not be good, so he could only look at his colleagues with a look for help. In full view of everyone, three or four officials immediately came out one after another.

There are those who impeach Chen Ying for befriending bandits so that they turn against their master: there are those who impeach the Marquis of Yangning's mansion for not being quiet, and the hereditary title should be revoked: there are generous statements, saying that Chen Ying has made great contributions in the northwest, but after returning to the dynasty, he was slandered by villains, and now he has been assassinated inexplicably, and he should be ordered to investigate thoroughly; And after arriving, the imperial history seemed to be unstoppable, revealing the murder case of the Yangning Marquis Mansion that had been boiling in the past few days, and adding the book case, the Tao is Dali Temple summoned Chen Ying was originally nonsense, and the whole article of the huā group brocade came to the end, and the edge pointed directly at the throne under the throne who was always silent.

Seeing that the emperor first squinted his eyes and listened patiently, and then a haze gradually appeared on his face, and then his eyes looked at Tai from time to time, and the hand hanging on his knees seemed to be trembling slightly, Song Yiming's heart was a little calm, and his eyes glanced outside the hall.

Knowing that Yang Jinzhou and King Jin had not yet arrived at this time, they must have been stumped by his own move, he felt that this time's planning was seven or eight points certain, and immediately glanced at Jin Congxu, who seemed to have been ignored on the ground.

Sure enough, even if almost everyone forgot about him, Jin Congxu still looked at the sky and suddenly straightened his waist, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, my lord has cleaned up the rebellion in the country, and now there are absolutely no assassins sneaking into the Heavenly Empire, there must be someone who is doing illegal things in the name of our country, and begging Your Majesty for the Holy Judgment!" ”！ ~！
