The rooster crowed.

It's not dawn yet.

The carriages of the major mansions set off one after another, heading towards the Imperial Palace.

Outside the Xuanzheng Palace.

The newly arrived ministers whispered.

"It's really windy today."

"When I went to the Xiaoguo Mansion for a banquet yesterday, there was no wind at all."

"...... from the North"

"Yo, look at who that is?"

As this sentence sounded, everyone looked at the group of people who had just walked through the palace gate in the distance.

Xiao Wanlin, who was the leader, was dressed in a dark blue Confucian robe, draped in a dark green crane, and wore a high crown, and walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall with more than a dozen civil and military ministers who were traveling with him.

Along the way, they saluted and said hello.

When the ministers greeted outside the palace, the eunuchs in the palace announced that they were summoned to the palace in the morning.

Wen Xiang He Fan made a gesture of please and said, "Old Wen Xiang, please." ”

Xiao Wanlin said expressionlessly: "Wen Xiang doesn't need to pay attention to the old man, just go in first, without the call of the saint, the old man has no position, and it stands to reason that he can't go to the early court." ”

Wen Xiang didn't say anything more, and entered the Xuanzheng Hall first.

The other ministers followed into the hall one after another, silently waiting.

Zhou Tianzi Ji Feng slowly came to the hall and yawned, and he could see that he had not rested well last night.

"I heard that Lao Wenxiang came to the morning court today, why didn't he be?"

When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military heard this, they couldn't help but look at Xiao Qi, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Maybe I didn't figure out what the Xiao family's banquet was going on yesterday, but when I saw Xiao Wanlin coming to the Xuanzheng Hall today, even if I was sluggish, I understood it.

The chief eunuch whispered twice in Ji Feng's ear.

Ji Feng smiled and said:

"Then Xuan Lao Wenxiang enters the palace, he is so old, he is really idle, just write a recital for the widow, and he has to come in person, Da Zhou has such a good minister, it is a blessing for the widow."

Xiao Wanlin was summoned into the hall and saluted Zhou Tianzi.

Ji Feng opened his mouth and said, "Aiqing, what are you doing?" Could it be that for the last 'Xiao Jinchen' incident, I came to the widow to ask for an explanation? ”

Xiao Wanlin hurriedly said: "Weichen is afraid, Your Majesty doesn't dare to ...... even if he gives the old minister a hundred dares."

Ji Feng interrupted with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, it's just a joke, it's just a joke." ”

There are some things in the capital, how can the Son of Heaven not know.

Ji Feng didn't sleep well yesterday because of the Xiao family's banquet, what Xiao Wanlin was going to do, where would he not know.

Whether it is the Lu Fang or the Xiao family, they are the pillars of the country.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Ji Fengzhen doesn't want the two to die endlessly, so he directly reminds him, hoping that Xiao Wanlin can stop in moderation.

Xiao Wanlin understood, but still chose to continue:

"Your Majesty, Weichen is not here for the rebellion against Sun this time, but for the article 'Dream of Red Mansions'."

"This article arranges the family affairs of the royal family and the state in vain, and Weichen thinks that the person who writes 'Dream of Red Mansions' should be beheaded for public display!"

As soon as these words came out, the temple was silent.

Everyone has seen Yawen's "Dream of Red Mansions", and it is true that there is something wrong with it, but it is absolutely not a crime to death.

Xiao Wanlin made it clear that he wanted to seek revenge on Lu Fang.

"Xuanlu Fang enters the hall!" Ji Feng frowned and said: "Old Wenxiang, the widow thinks that it is okay to call people to talk, maybe there is some misunderstanding in this." ”

I didn't ask for a stick of incense.

Lu Fang hurriedly entered the hall and bowed to Zhou Tianzi.

"Excuse me!" Ji Feng said: "Lao Wenxiang said that the Dream of Red Mansions you wrote was arranging the family affairs of the royal family and the state, how do you explain it?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is nothing, Dream of Red Mansions is a story of many characters in the world connected together, if it is according to the old Wenxiang, this cannot be written, that cannot be written, and it is estimated that it will not become Yawen."

Lu Fang said loudly.

Yesterday, he also figured it out, if Xiao Wanlin really wanted to use "Dream of Red Mansions" to make trouble, it was nothing more than writing "Concubine Yuan's Provincial Family" in the book, and also writing Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong.

There is a high probability that this will make a fuss.

So I thought about a lot of rebuttals yesterday, and I'm really not afraid of the other party.

"Ridiculous!" Xiao Wanlin sneered: "You, a disloyal and unrighteous thief, use the Ningrong Mansion in the book to insult and insult the Duke of Xiaoguo, you should be punished!" ”

Wen Xianghe Fan took a step forward and said:

"The old text is serious, 'Dream of Red Mansions' is an elegant text recognized by heaven, and the novel writing style in the book is its own, as far as I know, this article was written before Lu Fang and the Xiao family had a grudge, and it was not a malicious arrangement of Xiao Guogong."

Xiao Wanlin snorted coldly: "The text is so bad, if Lu Fang arranges the family affairs of the royal family and the state and does not deal with it, and the students of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be similar in the future, then it will be okay." Your Majesty, Lu Fang's son should be punished! ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiao Qi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Fang is arguing in vain that the prince and the royal family should be punished!" ”

Several officials who had been favored by the Xiao family stepped forward together: "Your Majesty, Lu Fang's son should be punished!" ”

Seeing that someone was getting up, more people stepped forward and asked to kill Lu Fang.

Fan Sheng frowned, and finally stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what Old Wenxiang said is not unreasonable. ”

Seeing that the Xiao family was so powerful, Lu Fang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

If Zhou Tianzi was really forced to throw him into the prison of the Criminal Department, then he would have endless suffering, and maybe he might die in the prison.

Just when Lu Fang wanted to refute.

A eunuch walked in from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the Great Confucian Su is leaving the hall to ask to see you." ”

"Come in, please."

Zhou Tianzi Ji said busily.

After a while, an old Confucian with a wooden staff walked in, this person was dirty, and he was wearing a Confucian robe that was also sewn and mended, but he walked steadily, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

Su Li saluted Zhou Tianzi, looked back at Xiao Wanlin and said:

"You old horseman, you are so old, your legs are about to enter the coffin, and you are still embarrassing the juniors here, you are really shameful! How! It's because we don't have anyone in the division! ”

"Xiao Wanlin, let me ask you, have you ever written image-level poems in your life?"

"Have you ever written an elegant text?"

"Have you ever condensed the spirit of the book?"

"The Great Zhou talent recognized by the way of heaven, but you want to kill because of your own selfishness, what kind of heart do you have!"

came up and grabbed white, which made Xiao Wanlin's face turn white with anger.

"Big brother, what a job!"

Lu Fang shouted in his heart.

Although he has never seen this senior brother, he has heard of this name and life, as long as he is reasonable, no one dares to scare this senior brother who has been upright all his life.

He also thought that this time he would face the Xiao family alone, and he didn't want the senior brother who was traveling around to come out to support him.

It is very common for the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty to quarrel, even in the palace, there are people who do it because of the quarrel, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Wanlin glared and said, "Su Li, you are an old thing, you dare to shout in the palace, you don't want to live." ”

"What about scolding you?" Su Li sneered: "If you bark again, the old man's big ears will shave your ears and fan, do you believe it?" ”

"You're looking for death!"

Xiao Wanlin's whole body shook, as if the whole time had stopped, and he stretched out his hand to hit Su Li's face.

He was only half a step away from entering the Half-Saint Realm, which was "more than enough" to deal with Su Li, a third-order Confucian.

He'd been waiting for this opportunity for too long!
