Tomorrow is the third day of May in the first year of the Apocalypse.

Every third, sixth, and ninth morning dynasty, the last April was the morning of the 19th, because the arrest of Wang Hongyu was canceled, and now it is almost half a month, and the situation is completely different.

Ye Xianggao was one step slower than Sun Chengzong, and now he also seized the opportunity to quickly draw a line with Zhao Nanxing and others to make his position clear to the world.

This time, after he finished writing the recital, there was no emergency, but he was still relieved, and decided to wait for one night in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace and directly participate in the morning court tomorrow.

Sooner or later, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will have to deal with this matter.

He was smart and knew in his heart that it was best to cooperate with Wei Zhongxian now.

The normal relationship between the cabinet and the celebrant is to fight but not break.

If it is too close, it will become a situation where Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao are in power, making the emperor jealous.

If the two fight too hard, it will form a eunuch war against civil officials, and the contradiction between the emperor and the court officials will be acute.

Therefore, smart people like Wei Zhongxian and Ye Xianggao are both new to office, so they must be a little ventilated.

As expected, Wei Zhongxian really came to Wenyuan Pavilion that night and exchanged some matters with the court tomorrow morning.

Wei Zhongxian arrived at the duty room, and when he saw that Ye Xianggao was a scholar, he hurriedly shouted for warmth and a few words of condolences.

"Haha, my father-in-law is hard, His Majesty Fuzuo has every opportunity, and he still trusts me, an old bone who has been at home for many years, as the first assistant, I am really grateful."

Ye Xianggao can be the first assistant, not Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong, this kind of bearing is one of the reasons.

After all, cabinet officials are in constant contact with the emperor and eunuchs, and it is impossible for them to have a dead brain who scolds them when they see them.

After being polite, you have to hurry up and ventilate on this matter.

Ye Xianggao stayed up for most of the night and waited for this time, and hurriedly asked in a low voice Father-in-law, dare to ask Your Majesty if the court will deal with it tomorrow morning......

Crunch

The door of the Wenyuan Pavilion duty room was gently pushed open, and someone came in again, and the two looked up and saw that it was Liu Ruoyu and Liu Gonggong.

Ye Xiang Gao said: "It turned out to be the eunuch Liu."

Gonggong Liu hurriedly apologized: "Lord Shoufu, it is no longer Liu Shimin, the eunuch with a ribbon, but Liu Ruoyu, the young eunuch of the direct palace. ”

Ye Xianggao was stunned for a moment, thinking quickly about his position.

The direct hall supervisor is a very hard place among the twelve eunuchs, mainly responsible for cleaning the palace. He changed from a eunuch in charge of the seal to a young eunuch in the direct hall, and his position was also reduced by two ranks.

The penalties are quite severe.

It is said that Wang Hongyu's matter has basically come to light, shouldn't he be treated like this?

Liu Ruoyu looked humble and said, "The cleaning tonight has been completed, and I have come to report to Gonggong Wei." ”

"Done?" Wei Zhongxian said casually with bad intentions.

"It's really done, and it's the subordinates who are watching it personally."

"No! Tomorrow, Your Majesty has a big event to announce, and you can't be sloppy at all, so you will bother Gonggong Liu and clean up to the court. ”

"Ah, subordinates, obey."

Liu Ruoyu retreated weakly, he was originally quite artistic, but now he looks haggard, with a lot of calluses on his hands, where is he like the elegant eunuch in the palace who knows literature, music and classics best.

Ye Xianggao sighed inwardly, and recorded in his heart that this Wei Zhongxian was really a ruthless character, even if Liu Ruoyu was Wang Hongyu's brother-in-law, he would be treated like this in the end.

It seems that he has blown a lot of wind to the Emperor of the Apocalypse behind his back, and he is still on guard.

He could guess that this was all a play arranged by Wang Hongyu.

deliberately made him think that Wei Zhongxian and his uncle were in fierce competition.

Rao is very smart, and it is impossible for him to guess the truth, at most he is a little suspicious in his heart.

And more importantly, once the news spreads, other people who are not as smart as Ye Xianggao will definitely believe it.

As soon as Liu Ruoyu went out, Wei Zhongxian changed back to that honest expression.

Ye Xianggao hurriedly stepped into the topic and talked about today's recital.

Lao Wei smiled and said that His Majesty was very concerned and had read it carefully, so please rest assured.

"Your Majesty has always remembered the support given to him by Donglin, and has never forgotten Donglin's upright loyalty day and night, even if this incident is completely unexpected, it is necessary to let the loyal ministers who speak up for righteousness be implicated as little as possible. Therefore, Ye Shoufu rest assured, Your Majesty knows your efforts. ”

Wei Zhongxian's cultural level is not high, but he is very good at dealing with people, and his ability to speak is not weak.

These words showed that Zhu Youxiao remembered the kindness that Donglin gave him, and he would not make any severe punishment this time. But from another point of view, it is also understandable that he will remember what Donglin has done, some of which he can do and some that he can't.

Beating is a combination of reminder and co-optation, not direct confrontation.

Wei Zhongxian knows this well.

Probably understanding how this matter would be handled, Ye Xianggao was a little relieved, and after a little exchange, it was not good to delay Wei Zhongxian's time, the two said goodbye for the time being, and he continued to wait for the early dynasty in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Before dawn, hundreds of officials gathered outside the noon gate.

Ye Xianggao, Liu Yijing, Han Yi and other scholars, as close ministers of the Son of Heaven, waited in the palace in advance.

As soon as the hour comes, the left and right doors are opened, the civil officials enter from the left door, the military generals enter from the right door, the bells and drums are played, and then the whip is sounded, and the officials stand still in the Fengtianmen Square.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, ascended the throne, and the early dynasty was carried out in the square, and the emperor wanted to listen to the government in the open air.

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the great dynasties of important festivals or events, the early dynasties were generally carried out in Fengtianmen Square.

The officials of Honglu Temple first reported the number of attendees, and this time the attendance rate was extremely high, with nearly 1,000 officials present.

As usual, the officials of Honglu Temple should step back and start the performance.

However, the eunuch Wang Tiqian, who was in charge of the seal, stepped forward to communicate with the officials of Honglu Temple slightly, and the man said loudly: "In addition to the officials in Beijing, there is also Wang Hongyu, a guerrilla general who has come to the aid of the Liaochuan Army!" ”

Wang Hongyu!

The crowd was shocked and immediately began to whisper.

"Didn't he get arrested and put in Zhao Prison half a month ago?!"

"Your news is old-fashioned, he is now said to be a hero like Yue Wumu."

"A martial artist is in Zhaojiao on the front foot, and now he is directly called to participate in the early dynasty, it seems that something big is about to happen."

"The martial arts are reused, which is really the sorrow of my scholars"

"What is the sorrow of a scholar? Civil and military are not opposites, are you worried that if you can't find the fault of the generals in the future, you will have no merit and promotion? ”

Most officials still have the mentality of watching a play.

But Zhao Nanxing's mentality has collapsed.

Is this a trap?

You're the stupidest one?

He still has some brains, and he probably knows that he has been cheated.

Looking at the side and rear, Gao Panlong in the criminal unit column suddenly felt happy in his heart, it turned out that he was not the stupidest one.

I saw that Gao Panlong didn't suspect that there might be something strange before and after, and at this time he raised his chin and looked in the direction of the noon gate a little provocatively.

Okay, I'm really going to go, so you guys are stupid like this, stay and do your own thing.

In the direction of the noon gate, Wang Hongyu came.
