At night, the bright moon, which was the same as thousands of years ago, was still quietly hanging high in the sky, making the entire capital fall into silence.

Of course, this time, except for the Qinglou street where the dream building is located, the crowd is full of people who are not lost in the daytime or even surpassed, and then there are the flower boats on the side of the Bianhe River outside the capital, and the sound of the piano is endless.

It is said that in those flower boats on the banks of the Bianhe River, there were 10,000 catties of fine wine drunk in one night!

And these two boundaries are showing the prosperity of the capital at night to places outside the capital.

......

As in most places, the palace was quiet, and even the walking guards unconsciously lowered the sound of their footsteps. As on most nights, the lights of the Regency in the palace are still on!

"Your Majesty, it's only two hours before the last court, you better take a rest, it's too late to watch this twist and turn tomorrow! ”

The father-in-law of Wu Cicada, who took care of Chu Zheng's daily life part-time as a guard, was still standing behind him as before.

Chu Zheng didn't pay attention to the cicada-free father-in-law directly, but took out another copy from the fold pile.

"Sleep after reading it. ”

With that, he opened the notebook.

"Hey, it's a letter from that kid from Tianxiong, look what this kid wants to do!"

As he spoke, he raised the letter in his hand to the letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, what did the second prince say?"

It can be seen that this cicada is also a little anxious in his heart.

"Look at you! I know you're thinking about this apprentice of yours. ”

In fact, when it comes to the relationship between the second prince Chu Tianxiong and the father-in-law of Wucida, it is also very simple, that is, when he was young, his father-in-law of Wucicada was his martial arts master, but the careful teaching of more than ten or twenty years is enough to bury a deep friendship in the hearts of the two.

"The letter said that I haven't used swords on the border between Dachu and Southern Tang for two years, so this kid wants to come back to see me and his mother, and by the way, I also meet you, the master!"

Chu Zheng read the letter and told Wu Cicada the content of the letter, and Wu Cicada also seemed very happy after hearing it, and his already small eyes were almost out of laughter.

And Chu Zheng is also very happy, the second prince has been guarding the border pass for five years, and he has not seen his own child for five years, I am afraid that any father will miss it very much! Even if he says that a man should aim in the Quartet, he still misses it in his heart.

But even so, Chu Zheng still did not rush to approve it, but put the letter aside, preparing to discuss it with the ministers when he went to the court later.

Although this is his own son, the royal family has no family affairs, especially the second prince is still responsible for the safety of the border pass, so he can't return to Beijing at will.

"It's not too early, I'll take a nap, and remember to wake me up when it's some!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Chu Zheng put down the fold and went to sleep on the bed at the back of the hall, while Wu Cicada was still standing in place with a smile.

Speaking of this bed in the Regent's Palace, there is also a story. At first, there were no beds in the regent's palace, so Chu Zheng moved one over to facilitate the handling of government affairs.

But after this bed was there, Chu Zheng was like he was in the regent's palace and didn't leave, sometimes he didn't go out once for three or two days, and the queen thought that it was because he had a bed to deal with government affairs and withdrew for Chu Zheng, hoping that he could rest more.

But after the bed was removed, Chu Zheng still didn't change, he still stayed for three or two days, and because there was no bed, he could only sleep on the desk, and the queen saw that he was pitiful and had no place to sleep, so she sent someone to move him back.

After Chu Zheng fell asleep, the candles in the regent's hall were quietly extinguished, although the Chu family was a royal family, but when they were still in the rivers and lakes, they had already learned the truth that the family was getting thicker and thicker, so ah, the food and clothing in this palace can be saved.

......

"Goo...... Coo!"

With a high-pitched rooster crow, the Lin'an Street was suddenly busy, and the maid and lady were waiting for their master to wash and dress, while the groom was in a hurry to go to the backyard or stable to pull the carriage out. When the old man came out, he hurriedly helped him into the car and sent him to the morning court.

It's okay to live in this Lin'an Street, the imperial city is on the edge, and some petty officials who don't have much power, such as the kind of people who live on the edge of the capital, have to get up and prepare about three watches, otherwise, they should be late.

There were also some officials who did not come out of Lin'an Street or from the outskirts of the capital, but galloped in from the direction of Huimenglou. It seems that I have spent another sleepless night!

When they got close to the Donghua Gate where the officials entered the palace, carriages of different sizes and specifications were already filled outside the Donghua Gate. The zigzag is afraid that it will spread out a full mile of distance.

And the docking of this carriage is also particular, generally the higher your position on the Jinluan Palace, the higher the seat of your carriage stops.

Just like Prime Minister Su Wang, his carriage only stopped until Donghua Gate, unlike other officials, after getting off the carriage, he had to walk for a while.

By the time Su Wang got off the carriage, many people had already come to the door of Donghua Gate.

But most of them have their own small circles, standing together in groups of three or five.

For example, Cheng Yijie, the Shangshu Order, He Ren'an, the Central Order, and Ma Suiliang, who is no longer the imperial envoy, formed a small circle.

This is not to say that other low-grade officials do not want to get in, but they are not qualified enough, they can eat as much as they have in their hands, and they can't casually cross the rules anywhere.

And in front of them all, there was an old man with drooping old hair and gray hair, standing alone, and no one could come up and talk to him.

Those who want to go are not qualified, and those who are qualified to go already represent different camps and cannot go.

"Old thing, haven't you always come to the early dynasty?

Su Wang looked at this lonely old man, his withered face was a little teasing, obviously he was a high-ranking official in the position of the Grand Master, but for some reason he became a lonely minister.

Soon after the first emperor Chutian started his business in Liaozhou, he met this very discerning scholar, and for some reason, he immediately took a fancy to this anti-thief team that was just a group of rough men from the rivers and lakes at that time and joined it.

After that, this well-chested scholar began to give advice to this group of reckless men who only knew how to charge, if it weren't for his step-by-step camp, then whether Chutian could get out of Liaozhou for the time being is not to say, but at least it won't be so easy.

But just about ten years ago, this highly meritorious old man practiced the Silent Meditation, if Chu Zheng didn't take the initiative to ask, he would never take the initiative to speak.

Later, he simply asked Chu Zheng for a holy decree that he didn't have to go to the court and began to live at home, but for some reason, this old man, who he couldn't see at ordinary times, also came to the door of this Donghua Gate unexpectedly today.

"Who does the old thing say?"

"The old thing says about you!"

Without noticing the pit that Lu Xiangrui had buried for himself, Su Wang jumped in without hesitation, and as soon as he said it, he regretted it, but it was too late.

"It's an old fox, I haven't been in court for a long time, but I'm still cunning. ”

"Hahaha, it's you old thing who is too stupid, stupid back then, I didn't expect to be stupid after reading the book for so many years, sure enough, this book is all in vain. ”

Su Wang still smiled, and he was not angry at all because of Lu Xiangrui's words.

"Honestly, what the hell are you doing today?"

"If I don't come today, then the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to come to the stage, probably, only a guy like me who is not afraid of offending people can come to help the emperor break the siege. ”

When Lu Xiangrui said these words, not only was he not a little nervous, but he was also a little witty. But Su Wang, who heard Lu Xiangrui's words, had a trace of unnaturalness on his face.

"Do you really not care about the friendship of those old brothers back then?

Probably because of the autumn, there was already a cold feeling in the morning air, Lu Xiangrui tightened his official uniform, crossed his hands and put them into his sleeves.

"Lao Su! Over the years, you have read a lot of books, you know what kind of situation my Da Chu is in now, on the surface it is peaceful, but in fact it is internal and external troubles! If you still take into account the friendship of the year, how do you let Da Chu live!? How do you let the people of Da Chu live!?"

Lu Xiangrui spoke loudly, deliberately letting people in several circles around him hear it, but everyone tacitly chose to pretend not to hear.

"There's always a way, isn't there?"

There was helplessness on Su Wang's face.

"There's a way? I didn't think of this solution for ten years, but now... Just go my way!"

"Alas!"

Speaking of this, even Su Wang no longer dissuaded, but stood with him after sighing, quietly waiting for the guards of the Donghua Gate to open the door......

"Boom!"

With a heavy sound, the door of Donghua Gate was slowly opened.

And with the sound of the gate being opened, all the civil and military officials were divided into two columns. The civil officials are headed by Su Wang and Lu Xiangrui, and behind them are Cheng Yijie, He Ren'an, and Ma Suiliang.

The generals are headed by the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the Dou Xianxian, who always rushed to the front when the Chu family fought the world, followed by a group of veterans with white beards.

As the team marched, they slowly walked through the Donghua Gate, and the goal was a huge square, from a high place, these civil and military officials walking in the square were as tiny as ants.

After passing through the square, there are still ninety-nine steps under His Royal Highness Jinluan, and only by climbing these ninety-nine steps can he be regarded as reaching the door of the Jinluan Palace.

Among the officials, there are inevitably some old ministers who are not good at their hands and feet, and by the time they climb up, they are already out of breath, but fortunately, they have been climbing this step for 20 years, to say the least, and they can still hold on.

Seeing that the leaders were about to finish climbing the steps, the two little eunuchs guarding the door of the Jinluan Hall hurriedly opened the door of the Jinluan Palace, for fear that the slow opening of the door would cause dissatisfaction among the previous bigwigs.

Seeing that the door was opened, Su Wang and the others did not hesitate, and walked in as usual, and the people behind them also followed suit.

To say that this Jinluan Hall is the center of the entire Great Chu's government affairs? Everywhere that can be seen in the main hall, except for a few pillars of the hall that are as thick as five people surrounding, they are all coated with a thick layer of gold dust.

It's not that there is no money to color these pillars, but these pillars themselves are more expensive than gold, and these pillars are all rare dragon sandalwood in Dachu, not to mention that it is still such a thick dragon sandalwood surrounded by five people.

There are nine steps in the center of the main hall, representing the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and the dragon chair on it has not been sat on at this time.

The hundred officials are standing in place, and after so many years, they can find the position they are standing in with their eyes closed.

As soon as he arrived at the position, Taishi Lu Xiangrui probably hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he began to sleep with his eyes closed.

Su Wang was in a similar state to him, but he didn't fall asleep, but pretended to sleep.

Generalissimo Dou Xianzhang was in good spirits, and his eyes were as wide as two copper bells, it was estimated that this was the time for him to get on the horse and kill the thief, and he was still able to carry a knife into battle.

The officials standing in the middle did not have the courage to sleep like the first two, but they also did not have the patience to wait, and the two people next to each other would whisper a few words to each other.

And the officials standing at the back are probably qualified to walk into this hall, one by one, holding the jade gui, standing upright, looking at the big guys in front of them who dare to speak on such an occasion, there is some envy in their eyes.

All of a sudden, above the temple, all kinds of things are revealed!
