Next. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Caiyin, outside the palace gate, almost all the civil and military officials had gathered.

When today's young man is greedy, he is greedy for sleep at night, and many matters in the court and the central government are entrusted to Qin Mu. It is very rare for the Son of Heaven to open an early dynasty at the end of the hour.

But in the past few months, it is the third time that hundreds of civil and military officials have gathered outside the palace gate so early.

The first time was because the Northerners army broke through the Datong border pass. The second time was because the northerners were marching directly at the city of Taiyuan. The third time is today.

The hundred officials stood outside the palace gate, and naturally they were divided into several piles.

First of all, civilian officials and military generals will never stand together. Civilian officials feel that military generals are vulgar, and military generals feel that civilian officials are insidious. Even if they are in the same camp, the civil servants and the generals will unconsciously stand apart.

Secondly, it is Wenchen and Wenchen, military generals and military generals, which are divided into several places.

Which ones belong to the line of Zhu Dingbang, the prince of the country, the Taibao Lu Gongyi and the Taifu Zeng Pu, and which ones belong to the two parties of Prime Minister Qin Mu or Taishi Pang Wenyuan, you can know at a glance.

It's something that can't be helped.

Although all dynasties strictly forbade officials to form cliques and factions, there has never been a dynasty that has been able to prevent officials from forming cliques and factions. Since today's son inherited the throne, the factions of the DPRK and China have become even more distinct. The hundred officials in the court were either inclined to Baoguo Gong, Taibao and Taifu, or they were inclined to Qin Mu and Pang Wenyuan. Those who want to hide in the middle, do not take refuge on either side, and are not offended on both sides, have long been driven out of the court.

If there is really anyone in the court who can transcend these factions, it is the princes of the heavenly family in the Jingshi. However, even those princes of the Heavenly Family only did not mix with the ministers on the surface. Secretly, they also have their own tendencies.

Although the hundred officials were gathered outside the palace gate, most of them just stood solemnly and rarely talked. Occasionally, the officials who had just arrived, after finding the circle to which they belonged, only bowed their hands to the officials who had already stood there, and then did not say a word.

At the end of the day, the palace gate opened, and hundreds of officials rushed in, came to the outside of the Jinluan Palace, and waited in place. However, the hundred officials no longer seem to be outside the palace gate at this moment, and the distribution is so obvious. Wen Chen stood in one place, and the military generals stood on one side. However, there is still a certain distance between the ministers.

At the end of the hour, two official sedan chairs, one in front of the other, entered the palace and came to the Jinluan Palace and fell. Baiguan recognized that these two official sedan chairs belonged to Taishi Pang Wenyuan and Prime Minister Qin Mu respectively, and someone had already stepped forward.

The sedan chair fell, Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu each stepped off the sedan chair, looking forward to it, and the majesty was incomparable. The officials were about to step forward to salute, and after Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu took the lead in arching their hands to the officials, Qin Mu shouted softly: "In front of the Jinluan Palace, all colleagues are careful to etiquette!" After that, he walked side by side with Pang Wenyuan to the nearest place near the Jinluan Hall before the hundred officials, and stood with his hands together.

Seeing Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu's appearance, the hundred officials hurriedly dressed themselves and stood solemnly in the distance.

Seeing that the time had come, three official sedan chairs entered the palace and landed in front of the Jinluan Palace. The people in these three official sedan chairs are Zhu Dingbang, the prince of Baoguo, Lu Gongyi of Taibao, and Zeng Pu, the Taifu.

Civil and military officials, except for a few princes of the heavenly family, only these three and Taishi Pang Wenyuan and Prime Minister Qin Mu have this honor and can take a sedan chair in the palace.

Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu saw the three official sedan chairs coming, glanced at each other, took their own steps, and walked over.

As soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu each got off the sedan car.

Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu arched their hands to Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi and Zeng Pu respectively, and said, "Old man!" "Taibao (adult)!" "Taifu (adult)!"

Zhu Dingbang and Zeng Pu snorted lightly at the same time, and hugged their fists casually, which was regarded as a return gift. It was Lu Gongyi, who smiled slightly, arched his hands at Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu respectively, and said, "Master!" "Prime Minister!"

For a long time, Zhu Dingbang has always said that he is sick at home, and his body has only "improved" when he was ordered by Qingyun last time, and he has been to the court once. How long has it been, Zhu Dingbang's health has "improved" again, and he has come to the court again.

Pang Wenyuan and Qin Mu originally wanted to "inquire" about Zhu Dingbang's "condition" and take the opportunity to disgust him, but when they saw Zhu Dingbang's face, the two of them stopped thinking together, so as not to let this old guy suddenly go crazy and embarrass himself in front of hundreds of officials.

Not long after Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi, and Zeng Pu arrived, on the side of the Jinluan Palace, a lieutenant hurriedly walked over and stood on the steps in front of the Jinluan Palace. This lieutenant is one of the lieutenants of the court.

When the officials saw this person coming, they all reorganized their official hats and official uniforms, waiting for the opening of the court.

After standing in front of the Jinluan Palace, the Zhongguan began to sing: "The holy dragon body is not safe, and there is no dynasty today!

When the officials heard this, they immediately exploded the nest.

You are a young man who hasn't even done a big wedding gift, and it's just a matter of having a "dragon body is not safe" from time to time on weekdays. But what day is today? How can we say that "the dragon's body is not safe" is "the dragon's body is not safe"?

Yesterday night, everyone stayed up all night. Moreover, I don't know how many of the hundreds of officials are working all night to write the recital. Even those generals who are not good at dancing and writing also stayed up all night with their respective masters. That kind of diligence is not comparable to the energy of the New Year. How long has it been since you've been so diligent?

Everyone stayed up all night, with red eyes, holding back the strength of a stomach, with a bulging twist and turn in their arms, they ran to wait outside the palace gate before dawn, and waited for the time of the court to be impassioned. After two days, the limelight has passed, or it has been robbed by others, isn't everyone busy this night?

A few bold people began to shout: "Father-in-law, we are going to greet the saint!"

As soon as these people shouted, some people immediately chimed in: "Yes! Yes! Go and greet the Holy One!"

Seeing the indignation of the hundred officials, the lieutenant was startled and shouted: "In front of the Jinluan Palace, don't make a noise, so as not to disturb the dragon body!"

The Han generals standing in front of the Jinluan Palace waved the golden gourd hammer in their hands and shouted: "Bold!

Qin Mu is the head of the hundred officials, and when he sees this situation, he naturally can't ignore it.

Qin Mu raised his hands and pressed them downward, stopping the hundred officials, and said, "Colleagues, the Holy Dragon is not in good health, just when your colleagues are worried about the king. Colleagues, please return to their positions and perform their duties. ”

After saying that, Qin Mu turned around and arched his hand to the lieutenant official, and said, "Father-in-law, dare to ask if the Holy Lord still has a will?"

The lieutenant trotted down the steps, bowed to Qin Mu, and then saluted Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi, Zeng Pu and Pang Wenyuan respectively, and said: "The Holy Lord's oracle, announce that the five elders enter the palace to greet him." ”

After that, the lieutenant general led his hand and took Qin Mu, Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi, Zeng Pu and Pang Wenyuan towards the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

The hundred officials saw that the five giants had gone, and the Han generals raised the golden gourd hammer in their hands, and the Han generals led by them pressed the waist knife in their hands, staring at each other. It's just that it is unknown how much of these people's minds can be put above political affairs.

At that moment, the five giants left the palace. According to the people who saw the five giants leave, whether it was Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi, Zeng Pu, or Qin Mu and Pang Wenyuan, their faces were very calm, and they couldn't tell whether they were happy or angry.

Soon after, the decree came out.

There are five wills, which are simple and simple, and not simple and not simple, and they are clear intentions to proclaim to the world. Moreover, this clear order is to be sent to all parts of the Central Plains in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

First, with six ministries and three divisions, a total of senior officers were sent to Xiangyang to investigate the Xiangyang public case and deal with the aftermath.

Second, with the defenders of Xiangyang, escorted Tan Sihuai, the prefect of Xiangyang, to report on his work in Beijing as soon as possible, and presented the matter of Xiangyang to the Son of Heaven.

Third, Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan rushed back to Beijing within seven days to meet the saint.

Fourth, Liu Yunfeng, Tie Zhu, Dugu Han, and Zhang Ming from Qingyunzhai rushed to Beijing within seven days and surrendered to the Criminal Department. At the same time, the four figures were announced to the world. If there are four people in the local officials, soldiers, and arresters, they should be immediately arrested and taken to Beijing for trial. At the same time, the decree stated that no officer or official who had captured the four men should be interrogated without permission.

Fifth, Li Yan, the deputy envoy of the White Tiger Festival Hall, and Wu Jidong, the commander of the Qingyun Army, rushed back to Beijing as soon as possible to pay the order and listen to the errand.

Careful people noticed that in the holy decree, regarding the third article, when mentioning Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan, only the title of a royal sword general was crowned in front of them, which is intriguing.

At the same time, regarding the third and fourth articles, the holy decree limited the time for Zhu Jian, Zhu Yan and Liu Yunfeng of Qingyunzhai to rush to Beijing.

The holy decree did not explain what to do if the will could not reach the ears of Zhu Jian, Zhu Yan, Liu Yunfeng and others. However, he deliberately added a sentence in the will, if any of these six people fail to meet the deadline, they will be regarded as resisting the will, and the crime is the same as bullying the king.

As for the time when Tan Sihuai, Li Yan and Wu Jidong arrived in Jingshi, the holy decree only used the word "as soon as possible", and did not specifically ask when they would arrive in Jingshi.

As for the other forces and figures involved in the Battle of Xiangyang, nothing was said in the Holy Decree. Even Sun Si, the four monks of Northern Shaolin and Ah Tu, who were still walking with Liu Yunfeng and others, seemed to have forgotten about them, and did not mention a word.

However, some well-informed people then spread the gossip, saying that it was because the Son of Heaven was "unsafe in the dragon body" from time to time, and the Central Plains was in the midst of a military disaster, and the palace intended to send the ministers to carry the honor guard of the Son of Heaven and go to Songshan and Putian Shaolin to make incense and pray for the Son of Heaven and all the people in the world.

As soon as the holy decree came out, the drowsy but restless civil and military officials in the various ministries immediately moved.

Some have stomach pain, some have hemorrhoids that have a severe attack, some of the old mothers in the family suddenly fall ill, and some of the concubines in the house are about to give birth. There are also some who are really embarrassed to repeat the reasons used by many people, so they simply tilt their bodies and "faint" in the chairs of various departments. On this day, I don't know how many officials "shared weal and woe" with the Son of Heaven because of the Son of Heaven's "lack of peace in the dragon's body", and "hugged the sick" together.

Among the six departments, there are people coming and going, which is more lively than the vegetable market. By noon, there were few figures in the six parts.

In addition to these civil and military officials, among the Beijing Division, various wine shops, teahouses, and book clubs are also very lively. Even in a building like Tsing Yi Building, there are many guests who come over in the daytime, and all the private rooms have already been filled.

At the four gates of the capital, countless messengers, officials, scouts, merchants, idlers, etc., have left the city.

In the sky above the capital division, from the moment the will of the holy decree was revealed, all kinds of carrier pigeons and flying falcons flew all over the sky, flying towards the outside of the capital, which could make those naughty children with simple bird shooting tools in their hands be amused.

On this day, after Zhu Dingbang, the Duke of Baoguo, came out of the palace, he never went to the Eastern Suburbs of Lu Gongyi Beppu, but went directly back to the Mansion of the Duke of Baoguo in Beijing. Not long after Zhu Dingbang returned to the mansion, in the Baoguo Mansion, several extremely capable generals went out of the mansion, rode fast horses, and rushed directly towards the north gate of the capital. After rushing out of the north gate of the capital, several generals divided into three directions and galloped away.

However, all the news of all this in the Jingshi could not reach the ears of Zhu Jian, Zhu Yan, Liu Yunfeng and others for a while. Because this group of people is in a merchant ship above the Han River at the moment, drifting south along the Han River. (To be continued.) )
