According to the usual practice, the cabinet should make a summary of the first half of the year, and at the same time, it should also look forward to the second half of the year.

Look, the crowd concentrated in this noon gate square, just the officials of the fifth grade and above, add up to 200 people.

They wore court clothes of various colors, ranging from crimson purple to blue-gray, representing their respective grades and status.

This is mixed together, and it is still a very beautiful landscape.

A ray of morning light fell, shining at the noon gate, and the entire imperial city instantly flashed with golden light, looking so splendid.

"Knock knock..."

The bells and drums on the tower of the noon gate city rang.

At this time, the noon gate of the imperial city was slowly opening, and the time to enter the court had arrived.

At this time, all the officials who entered the DPRK, like the elementary school students of later generations, consciously lined up neatly.

Those with high grades, the first and second grades, naturally come first, and those with grades three to five consciously shrink behind.

The ministers rushed in from the noon gate, walked through the imperial city, and continued to walk towards the inner court.

Walk to the Zhengyang Gate of Miyagi, where the Qianniu guards are guarded to verify everyone's identity, that is, everyone's fish waist card.

Entering the Zhengyang Gate and going inside, it is the real inner court of the imperial city, that is, the palace city.

Daming Palace is just northeast of Miyagi.

The palace was well guarded, the Qianniu guards were standing neatly, and there were secret guards and chamberlains walking back and forth, a solemn atmosphere.

If any official is found to be flustered, he will come forward and bring him out for interrogation, check the license, and search his body if he does not do well.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, the civil and military officials who came to the court meeting were divided into two columns, civil officials and military generals, according to the order of rank, and arranged them outside the hall first.

Here, it is forbidden to make loud noises, not to move around freely, to stand in accordance with the palace etiquette, and so on.

There are also many palace officials, Qianniu guards, and secret guards supervising together.

After only a while, the spacious and bright hall was already full of officials in court clothes.

The closest to the jade steps in the hall are all above the second grade, wearing crimson purple robes, and everyone kneels on the cushion.

Behind them, on the first level of the platform, there were three or four scarlet robes of civil and military giants, each of whom stood solemnly.

Standing solemnly by the palace gate, the largest number of people are the five-grade officials in gray and blue court uniforms.

In this way, the civil and military are divided into left and right, from top to bottom, the grades, clothing colors, etc. are neatly arranged, clear at a glance, and the grades are strict.

A chant, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

Let everyone's spirits be shaken.

I saw Yuan Zhi wearing a red dragon prince robe, a jade jade pendant tied around his waist, and a jade crown with nine beads and tassels on his head.

He helped the dragon chair and sat down on the couch next to him.

Guo Wei, who had not been to the court for several years, took the lead, only to see him kneeling on his knees and saying loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

He set an example, and most of the military attachés who were friendly with him behind him understood it and knelt down the mountain to shout.

In addition to the Privy Council and the Ministry of Households, the left and right attendants, etc., followed by kneeling down the mountain and shouting, the rest of the civil and military officials in the palace were all watching the Prime Minister Cao Qichang.

Cao Qichang frowned slightly, he looked up at the prince on the jade ladder platform, but saw Yuan Zhi looking at him with a very calm gaze.

Yesterday evening, he returned to the mansion and urgently summoned some of his confidants in Beijing, as well as the masters in the mansion, to discuss the matter of today's court meeting.

A day ago, everyone decided not to bow down to the prince in the court, indicating that the entire cabinet did not obey the prince.

But after the prime minister returned from the East Palace, his attitude changed, thinking that he had to adjust his strategy and not raise the bar with the crown prince in public, otherwise, it would be the current cabinet that suffered.

"The prince is very evil, in order to maintain the imperial power, he will not care how many people he kills, how many homes he will copy, and when the time comes, he will make the chickens and dogs restless, and he will die and the net will be broken, he will pat his ass and leave, I will clean up the mess later?" Cao Qichang asked.

Cao Qichang said this is based on the fact that on the day the edict of the crown prince was announced, he went to Funing Palace to congratulate him, and the new queen Cao Feiyan personally told him that the prince was rude and coercive to her.

At the time, he was secretly surprised.

Later, he found out that the crown prince Yuan Zhi really had this courage.

Whether it is the prince's wisdom and agility, or brutality, he made a mistake, but he hit the death hole of Caofu.

What Cao Qichang is most afraid of is that the prince plays this trick of breaking the net and ending up together.

In the end, he is a bamboo basket to fetch water, so why bother.

Everyone saw that the prime minister had talked about this, and who still said anything, but in their hearts they were not convinced by this crown prince.

In the end, in the midst of a quarrel, everyone dispersed.

Therefore, today, Cao Qichang has a lot of worries.

When the court submits, he will lose a certain prestige among the ministers.

If he doesn't surrender, in case the prince goes crazy, he will kill on a killing spree, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In the Daming Palace, Yuan Zhi holds a thousand cow guards and a secret guard, which is a sure victory, and no one can stop it.

As soon as Yuan Zhi sat down, nearly half of the military attachés led by Guo Wei knelt down and shouted, expressing their support for the crown prince's supervision of the country.

Now, Cao Qichang can be waxed, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

When Yuan Zhi and Cao Qichang's eyes intertwined in the middle of the hall, there seemed to be a silent thunder flickering.

After only a moment of confrontation, Cao Qichang's eyes instantly softened, and he saw him slowly lower his head, kneel on his knees, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”

As soon as he knelt, the rest of the civil and military officials knelt on the spot, all kinds of tones, yin and yang weird mountain calls, that was one after another.

Although it is not uniform and strange, but looking down from the platform, all of them knelt down and surrendered, and no one dared to stand without kneeling.

Yuan Zhi's face had a normal expression, and he couldn't see any joy or anger.

This month's tempering in the East Palace Qinzheng Hall has cultivated his majesty and domineering, and his face is full of confidence and perseverance to dominate everything, which is very different from the demeanor at the beginning.

There is a bit of the weather that dominates the world.

But Gao Jin and Ding Jiu next to the crown prince were nervously holding their breath just now, sweating all over.

At this moment, they glanced at each other and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

As the prince's henchmen, what they are most afraid of is that the ministers do not kneel.

If it's just a few officials, it's easy to do, drag it out and behead it.

But what if more than half of the ministers don't kneel?

Do they all drag it out and cut off their heads?

These are all officials above the fifth grade, the actual controllers of the ruling power of the final Jin Dynasty.

If you cut them all down, who will govern?

But if he doesn't kill him, the prince will be in prison.

Right now... It feels so good!

Yuan Zhi is still quite confident in today's gathering.

First, with the blessing of Guo Wei, with his influence, he will definitely be able to unite half of the generals.

As expected.

The second is Cao Qichang.

Before yesterday evening, the two had a game in the East Palace Qinzheng Palace, and both sides tacitly agreed.
