Chapter 68, Heavy Rain, Great Terror
The voice reached Renshou Palace, and Empress Dowager Zhang's face turned paler.
It had only been ten days, and the emperor's prestige in the inner palace had already reached this level.
The eunuchs obeyed the emperor, and this was a matter of course. But in the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhang, she was even more frightened in her heart.
This thing...... It really has nothing to do with her!
"What are you watching us do? Marquis Wuding, what do you mean? ”
Outside the Chengtian Gate, Zhang Heling glared at Guo Xun with a calm face.
"Humph!" Guo Xun didn't say anything, but still looked at Chengtianmen with a calm and worried face.
It was a coincidence.
In either case, today is a dangerous day.
If it is a natural disaster, then the previous dispute over the gift has just ended, and now there is a celestial warning, will there be a human head?
If it's a man-made disaster...... That's even more unimaginable.
No one knew the situation in the palace at this moment, until McFuk hurried to Zhang Yong's side, bowed his head and said something, Zhang Yong nodded.
"On the day of the great dynasty, all the ministers and princes of the dynasty!"
In a dull voice, the left and right side doors of the Chengtian Gate slowly opened.
Yang Tinghe, Yuan Zonggao, and Wang Qiong all breathed a long sigh of relief: If you want to go to court, you must have an emperor.
Your Majesty, the others are all right!
But the courtiers who walked up to the outer Jinshui Bridge looked at the deep doorway and shuddered.
Will there be a lot of people who can't get out today?
Bravely walked into Chengtianmen in a suffocating silence, and under the untidy oil-paper umbrella, everyone was uneasy.
When you get to the area of the Hou Dynasty, there will be no more dirt here.
For the sake of Chaoyi, many people put a layer of soft boots on top of their boots. At this moment, they took off their soft boots outside and silently came to line up in front of the noon gate.
The three-way drum hasn't sounded yet, so there is no need to line up here at this moment.
But under invisible pressure, they just stood in the rain so naturally, and they didn't talk to each other.
"Boom!" A drum.
"Boom!" Two-way drums.
Everyone waited until the third drum, and the left and right doors of the noon gate were opened.
Looking up, there were guards standing in the rain, their armor glowing.
Guo Xun walked through the right door, and when he walked outside the west corner gate, the first thing he saw was Qiu Luan, who was appointed as a guard and a loose horseman.
Xianninghou was seriously ill and could not come, but his grandson still participated in the court meeting in this way.
Facing Guo Xun's gaze, Qiu Luan did not squint, and stood motionless in the rain.
The Synodic Pilgrimage is purely ceremonial.
In the heavy rain, the brocade clothes and guards of honor were solemn and brilliant, and the teaching department displayed great joy.
"The Son of Heaven ascends to sit, and the ministers will see you!"
In the sound of drums, hundreds of officials knelt down to congratulate.
"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”
When he looked up, the figure of the emperor finally appeared on the throne.
The boulder in Guo Xun's heart fell to the ground, and no one was sure what happened in the palace before he saw the real person.
Now that he can sit here, the situation in the palace is under control.
"Zhongqing is flat." The emperor's voice was unbelievable, calm and unwavering.
Thunder and rain were pouring out.
Today's Son of Heaven is not sympathetic to the ministers, and the rituals of the Great Court Meeting are carried out in an orderly manner.
Xie Changjie, who was standing in the rain, was more eager than ever to be ranked above the third grade, and to stand in a place where he could shelter from the wind and rain.
In the rain curtain, there are naturally many elderly and poor people.
But no one dared to show any complaints today, and who knows which word and word the emperor who is sitting there calmly now will be angry because of which word?
The courtyard wall and gate of his dormitory have just been burned!
In the rain, the horror is great.
In this suffocating atmosphere, the regular process of the Great Dynasty Meeting finally came to an end, and the ministers all looked at the emperor.
If nothing else happens, it's time to disperse.
There have always been very few courtiers who really performed in the court, and the emperor did not ask about politics on this occasion.
Except for the time of Emperor Taizu.
But what about today?
"Do you have a book?" Zhu Houxi opened his mouth and asked.
No one stood up to do something, but Yang Tinghe stood up very nervously: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Rijing Gate was struck by lightning and caught fire, can the Qianqing Palace be damaged?" The minister asked the Ministry of Industry to immediately start rebuilding, and renovate the Qingning Palace in preparation for the arrival of the princess's palace in Beijing. ”
Zhang Zuo, who was behind Zhang Jin, couldn't help but look up at Yang Tinghe.
He didn't mention it that day, he didn't mention it for the past few days, but today he took the initiative to bring it up, what was he afraid of?
With Zhang Zuo's brain, he couldn't figure it out.
Li Qi was about to stand up and make a statement, when Wang Qiong, who was next to him, shook his head slightly.
The Emperor hasn't spoken yet.
Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Tinghe.
He didn't remember that Lao Qin said that there was this fire.
The current Zhu Houxi doesn't know that this incident really happened in history, or if his own practice in discussing the matter with the Great Rites before and after he ascended the throne caused this incident.
When he was carried by Huang Jin and ran wildly in the rain, Zhu Houxi deeply felt why the emperor was suspicious, and also personally felt the hidden possible killing intent among the palace complexes at night.
The two eunuchs on duty who fell asleep under the porch of the Nissei in the heavy rain were burned to death?
Zhu Houxi really doesn't believe it.
Lightning strikes and catches fire, what kind of fire can burn so fast that the two people who are close at hand can't feel it, and they have been burned to death in place?
Or maybe instead of coming from above, the thunder slanted over the eaves of the porch of the Niseimon, chopping them to death at the same time?
One left and one right, the Nissei Gate is not small. Did their feet come together, or did the thunder split?
Zhu Houxi was silent, cold sweat dripping from the forehead of the Chinese Wu Qunchen in the West Corner Gate, and the Qunchen outside couldn't tell whether it was rain or cold sweat on their cheeks.
"It's raining heavily today, I didn't expect the Dynasty to last so long." Zhu Houxi finally spoke, "Wenchen goes to Wenhua Palace, and Wuchen goes to Wuying Palace." Zhang Jin, let the morning food prepare more ginger soup. ”
"Minister! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
After scattering the dynasty, the court food is given, and there is this rule in ancient times.
However, the time of the scattered dynasty is not fixed, and this morning food is generally difficult to eat: after all, it is not cooked at the first time.
No one took this to heart.
But an arrangement like this one means that you can prepare it in advance and eat something hot.
Otherwise, there will be hundreds of people in this dynasty, how can they prepare in a hurry?
Thinking that the emperor arranged this matter during the fire last night, many people's hearts were warm for a while.
The more flexible mind can't help but think of why the emperor used this way to show favor to his ministers?
No, is it a show of grace? At the Great Dynasty Meeting, the number of civil and military ministers who entered the palace exceeded 1,000!
Can the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall crowd so many people eat at the same time?
It's temporary care!
The palace guards guard each door, who can get out?
Yang Tinghe looked at the emperor anxiously, only to hear Zhu Houxi say lightly: "Gonghou Bo, Captain of the Horse, the four elders, Jiuqing, and the Qianqing Palace will give a banquet." Scatter the dynasty! ”
“…… Minister, thank you for Your Majesty Longen. ”
Yang Tinghe's request did not receive a positive response, but now the throne is about to be removed.
After the emperor's accession to the throne, they will set foot in the Mukden Gate for the first time.
It is a banquet after the Great Dynasty Meeting, in the Qianqing Palace that has just suffered a fire.
Since you can have a banquet there, you think the fire is not serious?
The Lushu Dajia prepared for the Great Dynasty Meeting was already moving towards the Qianqing Palace, and the qualified people among the Wenchen and military generals exchanged glances with each other.
The number of princes and uncles plus the captains of the horses is more than four cabinet ministers and nine secretaries at once.
But no one thinks that going there is to fight, but there must be something inconvenient to say here, inconvenient to get angry here.
Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief, if there was something to discuss in private, it was a sign of stability.
Figures like the cabinet ministers and Jiuqing are not brainless.
"Pavilion Elder, Your Majesty has given a banquet, is it ...... to live and pay attention to the official" Yan Song hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The occasion for the banquet where the Son of Heaven will appear, the living and official will appear according to the rules.
How could Yan Song not seize such an opportunity?
Yang Tinghe hesitated, but nodded.
"Today's matter, write carefully." He solemnly admonished Yan Song.
"Xia Guan understands!"
and Liu Longqi walked into the rain in Fengtianmen with these civil and military ministers at the top of the Ming Dynasty, but Yan Song's heart was extremely hot.
Ahead, what kind of historical facts will Yang Tinghe also tell him to write carefully?
