When Yu Qian came to Chengtian Gate, there were already many people waiting there, standing outside the autumn rain and shivering. An autumn rain and a cold, this rain swept the Ming Dynasty with a huge chill.

"Ting Yigong, you're here!" Li Xian stood in the canopy outside the door and beckoned to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian walked over with a hint of a smile, and promised in his mouth: "Yuan Dezao." ”

"Ting Yigong." Shang Shi also said hello.

Yu Qian nodded, but after entering, he noticed that the people under the canopy were divided into two parts, and Li Xian and Shang Qian were left alone.

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and asked with his eyes.

Li Xian didn't speak, showing an expression that I didn't understand either.

"Good morning, everyone, the weather has become sudden, and you haven't added any clothes, right?" Yu Qian said with a smile to everyone inside.

"Lord Shangshu is early." There was a sparse response from inside.

Yu Qian's heart sank when he heard this, and the premonition just now seemed to come true.

"Ting Yigong, have you heard about the emperor's drunken street yesterday." Li Xian asked in a low voice.

Yu Qian nodded silently, and the figure seemed to be just because the wind was blowing under the light of the candle, and the person did not move.

"When I first arrived, there were people talking, as if they were talking about it, but then when there were more people, they began to avoid me." Li Xian explained what he knew to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian understood the general situation in his heart, but he didn't know how far he was going to sing in today's scene, so he nodded to Li Xian and went to the third door where the three or more senior members of the dynasty were located.

Chengtianmen is now Tiananmen, there are nine doors on the city gate building, and there are five door openings under it, taking the meaning of the ninety-five honor. In the five door openings below, only the emperor can walk in the middle, the second one to the left and right is dedicated to the princes and nobles, and the third is to go to the ministers above the third grade.

Yu Qian found in the past that all the ministers above the third rank of the dynasty were already waiting where, maybe the officials were not afraid of the cold when they were big, everyone looked calm, and they didn't talk to each other, but they were faintly divided into two camps by Cao Nai and Hu Hu.

Yu Qian walked towards Hu Hu: "Yuan Jiegong, you arrived early." ”

Hu Hui hummed expressionlessly, Yu Qian sighed in his heart, and then turned to greet the king of Shangshu in the ministry.

"Gong Nuan, you're wearing a little thin."

"Hehe, it's not in the way, this old bone can't feel cold or cold." Wang Zhi said with a faint smile.

This made Yu Qian feel bad in his heart, he was pushed to the front of the stage by Hu Hu and Wang Zhi, and the attitude of the two towards him in the past was not so cold.

At this time, the cabinet ministers headed by Cao Nai, who was also the right attendant of the military department, said: "Brother Tingyi, see that your official uniform is all wet, don't you have an umbrella?" ”

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment before walking over and said: "Don't mention it, I thought it was a drizzle, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and ran over after getting off the sedan car, but I didn't expect it to look big, but it was drenched thoroughly." ”

"Brother Na Tingyi is a little too careful, the autumn rain is cold to the bones, not the size can be judged, as soon as the clothes are wet, it is easy to fall into the root of the disease when the wind blows again." Miao said meaningfully.

Yu Qian nodded: "Tingyi has been taught." ”

He already roughly understood why Hu Hu and the others were so cold to him, it was better to say that it was to him than to be the son of heaven, he was now so close to the emperor, and he had begun to be guarded against.

It seems that yesterday's incident has made these people resist in their hearts, this is to give the emperor a dismount, Yu Qian said secretly.

At this time, he was eager to meet Zhu Qizhen and inform the performance of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but the early dynasty was approaching, how could he get away?

However, the cabinet ministers can work together, and Yu Qian's eyes fell on Cao Nai and the three cabinet members he led: Miao Zhen, Gao Gu, and Zhang Yi.

The cabinet that came back from Tumubao has gradually been ostracized, and they also feel this pressure, so this time it is not that their own interests are involved, but they choose to support the emperor in order to gain a greater right to speak.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian's chaotic mind calmed down a little, and he couldn't do anything at this time, he could only see the moves.

There was a sour sound, the city gate slowly opened, and a white-haired eunuch walked out of it, it was Jin Ying.

Jin Ying came to the front of the important ministers, and those who had been staying in the canopy gradually gathered.

"By the emperor's order: the autumn rain is falling suddenly, the will of heaven is cold, I occasionally feel the wind and cold, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come to the court today. If there is any important matter, please forward it to the cabinet vote, and if there is a need to discuss the matter, the ministers and workers should also move to the right side of the door and the palace, and I should attend the early court proceedings. ”

Since the Yongle Emperor moved the capital, the early dynasty was mostly held in the right Shunmen hall, and the afternoon dynasty was held in the left Shunmen. It wasn't until after Xuande that the number of times the imperial gate listened to the government increased, so it was common to go to the side hall of Youshun Gate when the weather was bad.

In addition, the emperor is sick, and he speaks so tactfully, full of a consultative tone, if it is placed in normal times, it is estimated that no one will have an opinion.

But when Jin Yinggang finished reading the edict, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, actually stepped forward and bowed and said:

"Father-in-law Jin, it is the ancestral system for the imperial gate to listen to the government! Regardless of rain, snow and hail, the grandfather was still the same. Today, the emperor's body is not safe, and our courtiers should naturally be considerate of the sacred heart, and ask the emperor to accept the worship in the chariot, and we will naturally abide by the ancestral system to protect the dignity of the ministers. ”

Yu Qian frowned, what he said was already accusing the emperor of laziness, and what he was doing to abide by the ancestral system and defend the dignity of his ministers was clearly talking about yesterday's officials' business affairs. It should be that when the emperor was very angry, he said that the abolition of the privileges of the gentry stimulated these people, and today they want to come to ask for an explanation.

Seeing this, Cao Nai hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hu Shangshu's words are wrong, Taizong had the practice of the early dynasty of Youshunmen. It's all the rules left by the ancestors, why do you have to strictly abide by the Taizu system, aren't you still thinking about Jianwen? ”

Hu Hu was not angry, and even spread a smile and said: "Cao Shoufu said this, but it is against the courtesy of the ministers, this world is determined by Taizu, Taizong was also defending the law of the ancestors at that time, so he was loved by the kings and the people, and was elected to sit on the throne, you say so, isn't it embarrassing to trap Taizong?" ”

Cao Nai opened his mouth and was defeated, and the elders of the four dynasties really did not give it in vain.

Seeing that the cabinet was not acting, Yu Qian was anxious, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "Yuan Jiegong, the Holy Lord is also thinking about all colleagues. The autumn rain is very cold, if it is really an early dynasty, and one or two of the yamen suffer from the wind and cold, then won't the government have to stagnate? Especially you, it's all my humerus, even a little bit of illness is something that the court can't bear! ”

After a lot of bitter words and flattering words, in the past, Hu Hu might have been of great use, but today, Hu Hu's face sank after hearing it.

"Yu Shangshu, I didn't want to rely on the old and sell the old, but what you said is too unusual.

I have a lot of burdens on the shoulders of the emperor, the emperor is still young, and he can't correct the monarch at this time, do you want to watch the emperor indulge in pleasure and indulge in wine? ”

Yu Qian was speechless in a few words, he was pushed to the position of a hall official by Hu Hui, and he was naturally full of respect for this old Shangshu, but at this time, he sincerely felt a little sad.

"Ahem, Hu Hu doesn't know what you mean by indulging in wine and indulging in pleasure?"
