The next day, the night leak was not exhausted.

A few sparse stars hung from the dim canopy, and the earth remained silent in boundless darkness.

The roots of the imperial city outside the imperial city of Nanjing have gathered many carriages and sedan chairs of civil officials.

The old system of Hongwu Dynasty, the same car system, where the car shall not be carved with dragon and phoenix text, forbidden Dan lacquer. The first to third grades of the official are embroidered with gold and silver ornaments; Four products and five products, plain lion head embroidered belt; Six to nine products, with Su Yun head green belt.

Therefore, a large number of green carriages and sedan chairs gathered together, and the civil officials discussed why Emperor Yongle suddenly held a temporary court meeting today.

It must be known that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, set the system, and only the three major days of the New Year's Day, the winter solstice, and Christmas (the emperor's birthday, also known as the Holy Day, and the Longevity Festival) three big days, as well as the first and fifteenth days of the first and fifteenth days of each month, will there be a large-scale court meeting.

And the impromptu convening of the Great Court often means that an extraordinary and extremely urgent important political event has occurred.

As for the other side, which seemed to be a little-for-tat, it was the military ministers who were talking with their military horses.

And these are the peripheral officials of the Ming Empire, and what is really close to the core are those Shangshu servants and governors who sit in the yamen duty rooms in the imperial city.

Enter from the Hongwu Gate at the southern end of the Imperial City, to the imperial road in the middle of the Chengtian Gate, there are five stone bridges, named "Outer Five Dragon Bridge", under the bridge is the Outer Imperial River, this part belongs to the "Imperial City" instead of "Palace City".

On both sides of the royal road between Hongwumen and Waiwulong Bridge, it is the central government office area of the Ming Dynasty, the west side of the royal road is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Jinyi Guard, the Flag Guard, etc., and the east side of the Royal Road is the Sixth Department, the Hanlin Academy, the Tai Hospital, etc.

At this time, in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Qiu Fu, Duke of Qiguo, Zhu Neng, Duke of Chengguo, and Wang Ning, Marquis of Yongchun, these heavyweight supporters of the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, were sitting together.

And Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, who is theoretically the first of the hundred officials, is sitting far on the other side...... Avoid arousing suspicion.

The first hero of Jingnan, the veteran Qiu Fu who is over the age of sixtieth birthday has gray hair, a burly figure, and a bold and rough personality, he doesn't care whether Li Jinglong is here or not, and says straight to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your Majesty must have made a big move today, what are the plans of the second prince?"

Zhu Gaoxu just changed into the prince's clothes, combed his beard, and said with confidence.

"Don't worry about Gong Qiu, I have the guidance of the immortals, and there will definitely be no mistakes this time."

"Immortals?"

The Marquis of Yongning and the Commander of the Horses, Wang Ning, sat on the chair and were slightly surprised when they heard this.

"Not bad!" Zhu Gaoxu looked extremely confident.

Can't trust other people, can't you still trust Mr. Jiang?

Zhu Neng, who is now only a year old, has a cautious personality but makes decisions every time a major event, and he persuaded with a serious face: "Is Your Highness too confident?" You should think about it again, right? ”

"What is there to consider?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly and said, "Princess, just look at my performance." ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was so confident, Qiu Fu and the others thought that he had gotten Zhu Di's inside information and pretended to be an immortal, so they stopped persuading.

Only Li Jinglong, who was drinking tea on the side, put down the teacup and cast a suspicious look.

What did Jiang Lang teach him?

Li Jinglong shook his head and was no longer curious, no matter what he was, he just needed to be a good wooden man.

Jiang Lang's clever plan, I have this trick to "stay like a chicken", and it will definitely not go wrong again.

Li Jinglong, he doesn't want to make mistakes or make meritorious contributions at all, he now knows too many secrets about Zhu Di, and he used to be Zhu Di's sworn enemy, Zhu Di will not let him go.

Zhu Di promoted him to the position of the head of the hundred officials, just deliberately wanted to kill him and wait for him to make a mistake, Li Jinglong knew very well in his heart, so he chose Mingzhe to protect himself and cut off contact with civil officials, Zhu Di asked him to do whatever he wanted.

"This time it will definitely not be targeted by Emperor Yongle...... Hey, this world is really very malicious towards handsome people. Li Jinglong walked out of the duty room of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, touched his handsome face and muttered.

"Cao Guogong?"

Li Jinglong stopped his steps, and he looked at the comer.

The person in front of him is Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, when the Yan army crossed the river and came to the city of Nanjing this year, it was the Jinchuan Gate opened by Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, who opened the Jinchuan Gate with him, and welcomed Zhu Di into the city of Nanjing to be called the emperor, which can be regarded as a friendship with a little bit of adversity.

"His Royal Highness the King of the Valley, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, just say hello, let's go to the court meeting together."

Li Jinglong turned sideways slightly, but it meant to avoid suspicion, and Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was just polite, so he walked away by himself.

But as Gu King Zhu Lu walked, he couldn't help but glance back at Li Jinglong.

Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, said to himself in his heart: "According to the secret report of the old ministry where the king was on an errand in the imperial prison, Li Jinglong was secretly imprisoned in the imperial prison by Zhu Di a few days ago, why did he come out now?" ”

"There must be something strange among them, the fourth brother is ruthless, when Jing was martyred, this king and Li Jinglong also fought against him in the early stage, and opened the door to surrender to him in the later stage...... Since the fourth brother has already attacked Li Jinglong, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack this king. ”

"Besides, the matter of cutting the feudal domain is already clearly coming at us vassal kings, and the governors of the five armies are gathering troops and horses in the Central Plains, and the kings of Qin and Jin will suffer."

"No, this king must not be restrained!"

The king of the valley, Zhu Lu, glanced at Miyagi with gloomy eyes, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Regardless of the people's thoughts, soon the well-regulated and large-scale court meeting began.

According to their respective sequences and grades, the civil and military officials crossed the Inner Wulong Bridge, and entered the Fengtian Gate under the gaze of the generals of the Jinyi Wei Han Dynasty.

Further back, the Jinwu guards personally led by the third prince Zhu Gaosui guarded between Danqi and Fengtianmen.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Bow to the Emperor, Fengtian Yongchang!"

Under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, the hundred officials saluted several times, and finally praised and knelt and sang the mountain shout, and the hundred officials arched their hands and raised their foreheads to shout "Long live, long live, long live", and the music and military academy responded in unison, and the sound of the ground shook the sky.

Zhu Di was dressed in a crown, and he ascended to the throne solemnly, and the bells on both sides gradually stopped.

Two chairs were placed on the golden steps, the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi was at the top, the second prince Zhu Gaochu was sitting at the bottom, and the third prince Zhu Gaosui was stubborn and led the Jin Wuwei to guard the palace.

Zhu Di bowed slightly, and the proclamator under the golden order understood and read out the holy decree prepared in advance.

As soon as the holy decree of "spreading labor into the mu" was read, the entire Fengtian Temple became extremely silent, and the falling needles could be heard.

The silence did not last long, and soon the hall was filled with a "buzzing" sound like flies vibrating their wings en masse, the uncontrollable whispers of officials talking to each other.

Immediately afterward, there was an orderly protest and a ridicule that was engulfed in the voices of the crowd.

This is generally the necessary time for civil officials to shake before casting spells before magnifying the "death advice".

After a while, one or several petty officials with extremely hard bones will stand up under the instructions of the Shangshu and the squire who don't know which behind the scenes, twisting their necks and begging for a board.

And the second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, stared at Li Jinglong, who was at the head of the hundred officials below him, with a shocked face.

"No wonder my father was so indifferent to the news of the Iwami Silver Mine and the Sado Gold Mine that I played."

"Damn, it turned out to be you an old boy who secretly told my father the content of Mr. Jiang's lecture!"

"Not the son of man! That's my credit! Thanks to me! ”

Just when Zhu Gaoxu reprimanded Li Jinglong in his heart, Zhu Di's voice came slowly.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who had practiced all night, got up and held his head high, with a condescending look, with a smile with three points of contempt, three points of contempt, three points of ridicule, and a point of sympathy, and said to Zhu Di confidently.

"Ah, yes, yes......"
