At this time, outside the palace, the officials were also discussing, and they all felt that they had won today! In particular, Shen Shixing and several people knew more about Emperor Wanli's character, and they felt that Emperor Wanli should deliberately snub them for a while, and then come out of the palace to negotiate with them before the people appeared, that is, before dawn!

When the time comes, as long as they delay a little, those pre-arranged manpower will spread the news of the hundred official uniforms to the Jingshi! When the people increase, the scholars who have been contacted in advance will naturally guide the public opinion of the people and form a huge pressure on Emperor Wanli! He will definitely give in when the time comes! After all, this time it was Emperor Wanli himself who violated the system of the imperial court and transferred troops without authorization!

But what they never expected was that Emperor Wanli never came out of the palace, and even Zhang Jia disappeared, which made everyone feel that something was wrong!

At the same time, their pre-arranged manpower was mobilized, leading a large number of people who did not know the truth to gather in front of the palace. When they saw the densely kneeling officials in front of the palace, they were all shocked and began to ask what was going on?

So someone told the reason for the incident with a sad and indignant face. aroused the admiration of those people who did not know the truth, and praised these officials for not even giving up their lives in order to protect the country's laws!

Hearing the praise of the people, the civil officials were proud! Even my sore knees and waist feel much more comfortable! And they were all looking forward to seeing Emperor Wanli rush out of the palace in a hurry and pay them attention..

But what disappointed them was that Emperor Wanli never came out of the palace, so that the sun rose high, and these delicate and expensive civil officials were almost unable to support it, so they saw the emperor's guard of honor!

And it was different from what they imagined, they thought that Emperor Wanli should be a light car and a few eunuchs, but this time Emperor Wanli did go out with a full set of honor guards! In other words, Emperor Wanli will not come to them at all, let alone get out of the car, he and the ministers will always be a high and a low distance, revealing the emperor's heavenly might!

Sure enough, the emperor's imperial car stopped more than twenty steps away from Shen Shixing and the others. It's not that you can't go any further, but this position in the middle is already full of honor guards and guards! And at the same time, there are also a lot of Jinyiwei's Dongchang fans! This made the ministers who were still very happy feel a little bad!

But Shen Shixing and a few people have to go down! But in the semi-encirclement of the human wall formed by Jinyiwei and Fanzi, their mentality can't be balanced, and their momentum is naturally a little weaker!

But if Shen Shixing and the others saw that there were many brocade-clothed men standing at the various street entrances leading to the square, in addition to the brocade guards, their bad thoughts would be even more aggravated! Because of these people in the palace who were in charge of spreading the sound when they were in brocade clothes!

You must know that the palace is vast, and the main hall is not small, and when there is any news in it that needs to be known by the ministers, it is these soldiers with strange voices who loudly spread out of the palace. After all, not all officials are qualified to enter the main hall, and the officials outside the main hall need to rely on these people to know the news inside. And the purpose of their appearance is naturally to preach to the people what is going on between the emperor and the ministers, which shows that Emperor Wanli has the confidence to win!.

After everything was arranged, Emperor Wanli, who was sitting in the high-end area, finally spoke under the umbrella cover! said, "Let a few pavilion elders come forward to answer!"

Shen Shixing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this! But because they are old and frail, and they are pampered on weekdays, they knelt down for a morning, and their knees were already in severe pain, and their bodies were sore, so where could they move!

If it had been in the past, the eunuchs who had already had a spirit would have stepped forward to help them. But no one moved today, only the Jinyi guards and fans next to them looked at them coldly.

In desperation, Shen Shixing and several people could only stand up by supporting each other, and then tried to maintain a stable posture towards Emperor Wanli.

They worked hard to maintain their image, and finally walked to Emperor Wanli and knelt down to worship, and then a few people pricked up their ears to listen to Emperor Wanli's words! But to their surprise, Emperor Wanli didn't say anything at all, but let them kneel there!

Shen Shixing and a few people stared at him for a long time without waiting

When he got up, he couldn't help but be angry, and felt that he had suffered a great humiliation! They all secretly made up their minds that if they had the chance, they must humiliate Emperor Wanli and toss him well! Those who have a careful eye have already figured out how to explain how to discredit the disciples and grandchildren when they wrote the history of Emperor Wanli!

At this time, the people who were watching the bustle from afar heard someone in the crowd say, "Your Majesty is too unkind! Those pavilion elders are already dozens of years old, and it is too much for them to kneel for so long and not be allowed to get up!"

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw that it was a few people dressed as scholars who were discussing. And there was also a scholar who followed and said: "Several pavilion elders work extremely hard for the country every day, but Your Majesty does not give any face, and it is simply humiliating to let the pavilion elders kneel in front of the world for so long!"

When the people heard this, they all felt that it made sense, after all, China has always had a tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, and the emperor sat on a high place young and strong, and several dozens of years old pavilion elders knelt on the ground! What's more, these pavilion elders are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and the governance of the country still depends on them, so it is not a loss for the Ming Dynasty to let them kneel for a long time and break their bodies! Therefore, under the leadership of those scholars, the people also expressed their sympathy for several elders!

But just when the people's voices were a little weaker, there was another voice of talking! But this time, it wasn't the scholars who were talking, and the speaker looked like a rich businessman! I heard one person say, "These scholars are so unreasonable! Your Majesty is the king of a country, shouldn't you bow down to Your Majesty as a courtier? Don't those scholars always say that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die? Why can't you kneel for a while?"

The people around him who were also dressed up also nodded and said, "It is said that the emperor does not give face to the elders, but several elders brought people to kneel on the ground early in the morning and forced the emperor to come out to see them, so how could they give the emperor face!" After all, face is something that is given to each other!"

When the people heard it, they thought it made sense! The emperor is the king of a country, and everyone in the world has to kneel, and it doesn't matter if a few elders kneel! And according to what scholars often say, the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, it is not normal to kneel to the emperor!
