Chapter 226: Awkward Morning Meeting 1
Zhu Lin, who had not yet exhausted his anger when he got up, heard that he was going to go to the morning court. yelled outside, "Let them wait!". Then Zhu Lin went downstairs angrily and slowly washed in the hall.
The two eunuchs were already waiting outside, a little impatient. But it's not easy to attack, it can only be done by Zhu Lin's temperament. Before coming, the boss above had already understood, this kid is now as popular as the sky, if you can please others, don't offend them, otherwise no one will be able to save you both. Don't take the hard-earned money you are used to. Even if Zhu Lin gives it to you, you are not allowed to ask for it. The two eunuchs who were thoroughly ordered by their own leaders, where do they dare to say anything big here.
After Zhu Lin finished washing, put on a python robe, and went out of the courtyard, without looking at the two eunuchs, he got into the carriage and ran to the palace in a daze.
There are all kinds of sedan chairs on the noon gate square, there are four small sedan chairs, and there are also eight large sedan chairs. Officials stood in groups at the side door, chatting and waiting. Zhu Lin's carriage traveled to the square, and the officials who were chatting together immediately fell silent, did not speak, but just looked at the carriage that slowly drove in. The carriage did not stop, but followed the road directly to the main entrance of the noon gate. The coachman was a guard named Xu Liang. Second time here. Not very familiar. Xu Liang stopped the carriage and quickly moved off the bench. Put it next to the carriage. He shouted into the carriage in a low voice, "Young Master, it's here!"
Zhu Lin was lying in the carriage and pretending to sleep, when he heard Xu Liang's voice, he just stopped saying "oh". Didn't get off either.
At this moment, two eunuchs following the carriage stepped forward. said to Xu Liang: "Don't move this stool down." There is a decree in the saint that Xu Zhulin can ride a horse and ride a sedan chair in the palace. Then the two eunuchs went to the side gate. After chatting with a few important members of the imperial court for a few days. Quietly standing there looking in the direction of the main entrance of the noon gate.
Zhu Lin didn't wait long before he heard the whip at the side door. Zhu Lin flicked the non-existent soil on his body, took a strip of white cloth, and tied it to the crown of Yishan. Lift the curtain of the carriage and prepare to get off the train. Zhu Lin stretched out his head to see that Xu Liang was still sitting in the car. asked, "Why don't you get out of the car?" "Young master, those two fathers-in-law just said that our car can go directly into the palace!
"Bullshit! I didn't see the holy decree, their words were just farts!" Zhu Lin said as he jumped out of the car and walked towards the side door. Xu Liang asked the brothers who came with him to park the carriage aside. He followed Zhu Lin to the side door. Zhu Lin walked over and politely greeted the Wenchen generals who were standing there waiting for the fish to enter, regardless of whether they knew each other or not. Zhu Lin saluted one by one. The old grandfather was also there, watching Zhu Lin finish his salute. Pulling Zhu Lin aside and asking, "Little Marquis, what do you mean by wearing a white cloth strip on this crown? This white cloth hinders the holy eye, take it off quickly!"
Zhu Lin gave the old grandfather a look to the end and said: "This white cloth strip is a small filial piety for the brothers! Instead, he said in a very small voice: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop!"
Zhu Lin understood, maybe today's court meeting would be very unfavorable to him. Sure enough, since Zhu Lin entered the Fengtian Palace, there have been all kinds of incidents because of his position. Zhu Lin has too many official positions, both civil and military. And it's still mighty. The official robe he wore was a four-clawed python robe. Standing on the Wenchen train, Zhu Lin didn't know where to stand. Standing in the queue of generals, Zhu Lin didn't know where he was standing. Zhu Lin was at the back of the civil official queue standing at the beginning, and frightened the few six-rank Beijing officials behind him. Busy pushing Zhu Lin forward. Isn't this a joke, the super first-grade scholar stands behind the six-rank official, which is not in line with the etiquette at all. Anyway, no matter where Zhu Lin stands in the queue of civil officials, others push Zhu Lin out. Zhu Lin had no choice but to be in the queue of generals, but the queue of generals was even more hierarchical, and it was not appropriate to stand anywhere. The old grandfather deliberately wanted Zhu Lin to stand behind him, but he looked at the little grandfather Mu who was standing behind him. It doesn't feel very suitable, and it's not very appropriate to let Zhu Lin stand behind Grandpa Mu. After all, Zhu Lin was wearing a four-clawed python robe, which was still black. It is one level higher than the purple python robe worn by Little Master Mu. Although there is a difference between the pythons on the complement, there is not much difference. So it's not very appropriate to let Zhu Lin stand behind Grandpa Mu. Standing in the military general's train, it is even more inappropriate. You are a python standing in a group of 'beasts', and you don't scare this group of 'beasts' to death. Some people will say that they will not stand in front of them? But the civil officials are no more than the three divisions, and the martial arts are no more than the three dukes. Zhu Lin is not qualified to stand at the front. The first few civil officials are all elders, the Taishi, and the young masters. It is not enough to see a scholar by himself, and in the queue of military generals, Lao Guogong, Mu Guogong and two unknown grandfathers are standing at the front. Zhu Lin is still self-aware of this. Zhu Lin, who was extremely embarrassed, had to stand in the middle. Bow your head and say nothing. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Ying to say: "The emperor has arrived!"
The officials knelt down and shouted three long live. "All the Emperors are flat!" shouted the Emperor. Zhu Lin also knelt down. Hearing the emperor's shout, he hurriedly stood up. But as soon as he stood up, something more embarrassing happened. In the entire hall, except for the emperor sitting on the dragon chair and Li Ying standing next to him. The rest were still on their knees. Only Zhu Lin stood there alone. Zhu Lin was stunned. The ministers shouted at the same time as if they had been discussed, "Long live Emperor Xiewu!" before they stood up. Zhu Lin touched his nose in embarrassment. Raising his eyes, he glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair. The emperor half-squinted and smiled slightly. Although he was smiling, his face was very unpleasant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a morning music, and there is no book to retreat!" Li Ying waved the Buddha dust in his hand and shouted loudly. There was no talk in the queue for the two shifts. Zhu Lin also lowered his head and did not speak. Li Ying looked at the emperor and just wanted to shout: "Retreat from the dynasty!"
At this time, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair said: "Slow, Zhu Aiqing, do you have a music?"
Zhu Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair. Said viciously: "Minister, there is no way to play!"
"Then Aiqing, why did you stand up?" the emperor asked with a smile.
The emperor's words drew laughter from the whole hall. Zhu Lin was suddenly flushed with shame. After all, our pig's feet are very thin-skinned, aren't they. Zhu Lin cursed in his heart. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and straightened his body and said: "It's not that the minister stood up, but the minister was driven out! The minister went to court for the first time, and he didn't know where he was standing! Dare to ask the saint, where is it appropriate for the minister to stand?"
The Emperor's smiling face suddenly darkened. "Zhu Lin, do you have no king? Can you be guilty?" Zhu Lin was stunned, why did he have no king?
