The cabinet compound exploded, and the emperor sent a eunuch to deliver the decree, stating that he would not kill Liu Jin and others at the request of the ministers, only saying that although Liu Jin and others were at fault, their crimes were not to death, and they could be punished, but there was no need to make a big fuss.

The emperor did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and he also had an indifferent attitude towards the concerted advice of the ministers, not only did not reflect, but said that it was a big fuss.

The arrogant civil officials felt that they had been greatly insulted, and as soon as the eunuch who delivered the decree left, some of the civil officials shouted with red faces, some shook their hands and sighed, and some beat their chests and wept bitterly, and the cabinet compound was in chaos.

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Jian, Han Wen and others were also annoyed in their hearts, even if the big thing is small, the emperor should have a humble attitude, rather than sending someone to pass on this holy decree, not to mention that the wording of the holy decree has no intention of soothing the guilt, on the contrary, it does blame the tone of reprimand.

"Duke Li, it seems that the emperor is not persuasive, we can't expect the emperor to make up his mind, this determination requires me to help the emperor." Han Wen's face turned red, and his beard blew high.

"Lord Han is right, Gong Li, let's hand in the resignation letter according to the agreed collective, Liu Jin is free, it is a shame for us, there is no room for compromise in this matter." Xie Qian's face was pale and terrifying, his heart was not good, but now he was beating fast and slow, and his breath was uneven.

"Elder Li Ge, you can say something, can we just swallow our anger like this?" The surrounding civil servants shouted.

Li Dongyang frowned, and his thin body trembled slightly, but he did not lose his calm, there were already some people in front of him who had a fever in their brains, and completely forgot the original intention of launching the impeachment of Liu Jin and others.

But at this time, Li Dongyang has no laws to persuade these people in front of him, as long as a word is wrong, he will immediately become the target of public criticism, Li Dongyang can only do yes, but he still decided to put the drastic measures to the back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the old man." Li Dongyang shouted.

Everyone quieted down and listened to the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang said: "It's too early to hand over the resignation, that's the most backward means, the old man suggested, let's go to the Qianqing Palace collectively to kneel outside the palace, the monarch has had, the minister is responsible, don't forget that we are all important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and we must always do our duty as courtiers, and it can be regarded as the right emperor to our longen." ”

Lao Cheng's ministers understood what Li Dongyang meant, and nodded one after another: "What Elder Li Ge said is very true, we can't do our duty, if the emperor insists on going his own way, it will not be too late for me to resign again." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go to the Qianqing Palace." The crowd shouted.

Li Dongyang sighed, drank the residual tea in the cup, stood up and straightened his clothes, and strode out of the public house, and the ministers in the courtyard gave way one after another, but seeing Li Dongyang at the head, Liu Jian Xie Qian followed left and right, followed by Han Wen Zeng Jian and other ministers, as well as six civil officials who came to support the Ministry of Affairs, the Imperial Envoy of the Capital, and the Hanlin Academy, and hundreds of people, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.

Song Nan was talking in the study with Zhengde, and Zhang Yong came in from outside the door in a panic, his face panicked; Zhengde shouted displeased: "What's the matter? Panicked. ”

Zhang Yong glanced at Song Nan and stammered, "The emperor ...... Emperor...... Oh no, the cabinet led hundreds of civil officials from the six ministries to Qianqing Palace. ”

Zhengde was shocked: "What to do? They can't rebel? Hurry up and let Shi Wenyi transfer the Jinyi Wei Dahan General to escort him. ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly nodded in agreement, turned around and ran out, because he was too panicked, he fell under the threshold under his feet, and he didn't care about crying out for pain, so he ran away covering his broken forehead.

Zhengde licked his lips nervously, his face turned pale, his steps walked back and forth quickly, and he said angrily: "These guys, they actually dare to break into the inner palace, and they are too bold, what are they going to do?" ”

Song Nan said quietly: "Don't be anxious about the emperor, the ministers estimate that they don't dare to break into the Qing Palace, nine times out of ten they want to admonish outside the palace gate, how can a civil official who has no power to restrain the chicken be unfavorable to the emperor." ”

Zhengde stopped and said: "Also, I'm confused, no matter how bold these people are, they don't dare to do anything to me." ”

Song Nan said: "It seems that they will not stop until they reach their goal, and the emperor has to think about how to deal with this situation." ”

A eunuch hurriedly entered the house and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the cabinet Lord Li, Lord Xie, Lord Liu, and the adults of the six departments and Hanlin Courtyards are kneeling at the gate of the palace, asking the emperor to come out to meet. ”

Zhengde said: "Did Shi Wenyi bring someone here?" ”

The eunuch said: "Lord Shi took three hundred brocade guards to watch at the gate of the palace, and Gonggong Liu also ordered Gonggong Qiu to summon the people of Dongchang to guard at the palace gate. ”

Zhengde sighed, waved his hand and said, "They kneel if they like to kneel, but I don't want to see them." ”

……

Under the steps in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, hundreds of Wenchen knelt at the door of the palace and asked Zhengde to come out to meet, Shi Wenyi led three hundred Jinyi Wei Han generals to stop at the palace gate, and hundreds of Dongchang soldiers rushed to gather in the left near guard.

Mu Bin, who was hiding and reluctant to show up, also had to show up and pretend to tell Shi Wenyi to protect the palace gate, and he hurried into the palace to see Zhengde, admitting that he was in charge of escorting Yunyun, Zhengde was not in the mood to talk to him, and ordered him to closely monitor the civil officials at the palace gate.

Time passed minute by minute, from noon to Shen hour, two or three hours were as long as a few years, and the ministers did not enter a drop of water, and knelt in front of the hall one by one and crumbled; As time passed, the disappointment and anger in the hearts of the ministers reached the verge of exploding; In the past few hours, Zhengde didn't even show his face, and he didn't even come out to say a word of comfort.

In disappointment and anger, a person they least wanted to see appeared at the gate of the hall, Liu Jin gritted his toothpick and Shi Shiran walked out of the hall gate, standing on the steps with his waist crossed, looking at the civil officials with a sneer on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's save some energy, the emperor's decree has been issued, what's the use of you running here and kneeling? The emperor said that he will never come out to see you, this ground is cold and hard, can you bear it? We've got some futons for you, so raise your hand if you want to. ”

The civil officials glared angrily, how could the already angry officials stand Liu Jin's ridicule, and a middle-aged official suddenly got up and rushed up the steps and rushed in front of Liu Jin.

Li Dongyang shouted: "Master Dai can't." ”

Seeing Liu Jin's hateful smile, he couldn't help but get up and scold, and scolded in his mouth: "Eunuch thief, how can you be so arrogant, you will never end well." ”

Liu Jin was startled and screamed, "Don't stop him yet?" ”

The two Jinyi Wei Han generals stepped forward to frame Dai Miao, Dai Miao's feet were suspended in the air and could not move an inch, and he struggled to throw the Chao Rui in his hand into Liu Jin's face, and threw it with a bang, Liu Jin's eyebrows were bleeding, and Yu Rui fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Liu Jin covered his brows and shouted loudly: "This is worth it, this is worth it, this is going to be reversed, impacting the emperor's bedroom, with bad intentions, this is worth it." ”

Li Dongyang's heart is cold, Dai Mo is too impulsive, this is Liu Jin's mistake, Liu Jin deliberately said some cool things to provoke everyone, as long as he forced the emperor to come out and give a word, follow Liu Jin to compete, wouldn't it be a trap.

Sure enough, Liu Jin fooled the blood stains on his eyebrows a few times, painted his face, looked really scary, turned around and ran into the palace, rushed into Zhengde's study, and cried on the ground: "Your Majesty, these people are red-eyed, they actually hit the palace, and they want to be disadvantageous to the emperor, the slaves and maids tried their best to stop them, they actually injured the slaves and maids, the emperor can rest assured, the slaves and maids are desperately escorting." ”

Liu Jin raised his face, the blood on his face was a mess, Zhengde and Song Nan were startled, Zhengde's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "What do Jinyi Wei do to eat, is this worth it?" Punish me for these people who don't understand the rules, Liu Jin, go and tell Shi Wenyi that whoever dares to make trouble will be held accountable. ”

Liu Jin's eyes showed joy, and he said continuously: "The slave obeys the order." Then he got up and walked out.

Song Nan felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed, chased after Liu Jin and said, "Father-in-law Liu, don't make a big deal about it." ”

Liu Jin turned around and showed a mouthful of white Sensen teeth and said with a smile: "Lord Song, our family thanks you for reminding us, but after this incident, our family also understood a truth, in the past, our family always thought about the consequences of doing things, and suffered from gains and losses; Now I understand, they want me to die, how can I tolerate them, it is a matter of life and death, and I can't complain about my cruelty; Lord Song stayed, I know that you are soft-hearted, but in our family's position, you can't be soft this time. ”

Song Nan shouted, "Leave yourself some way back." ”

Liu Jin smiled and said, "The back road? I've just thought about this word too much, and that's why I'm here today. ”

Liu Jin's face turned cold, turned his head and walked away, walked out of the door of the palace, and shouted: "The emperor's edict, there are those who attack the dormitory and plot to do wrong, and they will not slack off; Shi Wenyi, in the middle of the matter, Dai Mill attacked the dormitory and hurt people, and immediately took it down, and the court staff served. ”

Shi Wenyi arched his hand and said: "Follow the father-in-law's order, come to someone, and take down Dai Mill." ”

Three or four Jinyi Wei Han generals went up like wolves, grabbed Dai Mill and dragged him to the front of the palace, two Jinyi guards dragged over a bench and pressed Dai Mill down on the stool, one reached out to Dai Mill's underwear, exposing his buttocks, and the other two held mulberry sticks and began to whip Dai Mill's buttocks.

Dai Mo scolded angrily: "Eunuch! Thief! If you bewitch the emperor, there will be evil retribution, and there will be a kind of beating me to death, I will go to the spring to see the emperor! ”

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and shouted: "I will fulfill you, add twenty rods." ”

Jin Yiwei struck hard, and Dai Miao's lower body soon became bloody and blurred, and the scolding gradually lowered; The faces of the ministers below were colorless, and Han Wen shouted loudly: "First Emperor, First Emperor, have you seen it in Tianying Ling?" Will my Ming Dynasty allow such ministers to run rampant? ”

Xie Qian, Liu Jian and the others were in tears, Xie Qian really couldn't hold it anymore, his body was crooked, and he fainted.

Everyone rushed to rescue for a while, and it took a while to wake Xie Qian up.

The blue sky and white clouds, the sky is clear, it is the time when the autumn is high and cool, but in front of the Qianqing Palace, it is like a black curtain, the air is hot and solid, making people unable to breathe.

The sound of the cane, mixed with the screams of Dai Miao, made people can't believe that all this is true.
