In this process, the anger levels of both parties are also growing.
At this moment, only one Yanguan was accidentally pushed to the ground in the process. How could the remaining Yanguan watch their companions being bullied?
As a result, the two sides pushed and pushed each other more and more, even mixed with cordial greetings to each other's ancestors.
Then, a scream was heard, and everyone followed the sound, only to see Luo Longwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, covering his nose in pain and squatting down, with bright red blood dripping down the palm of his hand to the ground.
Before this, both parties had accumulated enough resentment. Seeing this situation, the string called reason in everyone's minds gradually collapsed.
"Damn it, you actually dare to touch our people, come on everyone!"
"Yes, give these officials some color!"
Soon, the people from the Yan Party joined the fight. They waved their fists and greeted Yan Guan.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Hu Yingjia thought of standing up and mediating.
"Wait a minute, don't be impulsive, calm down..."
However, before Hu Yingjia finished speaking, he received a solid kick from someone who didn't know where. The kick was so strong that he almost fell to the ground.
"Damn it, what bastard just kicked me?"
Hu Yingjia said this, and after looking around, he joined the fight without hesitation. The people on Yan Dang and Yan Guan's side soon started fighting together.
However, due to the numerical advantage on Yanguan's side, the people on Yandang's side were passively beaten all the time. Even Zhang Runde received several solid punches on his face, and his right eye became... Turned purple.
At this moment, the Qingliu officials on Wang Ting's side were completely dumbfounded. Immediately, one official summoned up the courage to ask Wang Ting.
"Sir...Sir, what should we do next? Is it possible to look at it like this?"
When Wang Ting heard this, he immediately turned around and ordered in a deep voice.
"What are you doing standing still? Come up with me!"
"Damn it, let's forget all the old and new grudges today!"
After Wang Ting said that, he took the lead and joined the battle. The Qingliu officials behind him saw this and after hesitating for a moment, they also joined in.
In this way, the three parties began to fight together regardless of the enemy or ourselves. Just as Wang Ting said before, the old and new grudges will be settled together today!
Because of this, they were very ruthless with each other. If they could beat each other, they would use their hands and feet to try their best to attack each other. If they couldn't beat them, they would specifically attack the lower third road.
For a time, the entire Zhengyang Gate was in chaos. Screams and groans could be heard constantly, and a smell of blood gradually filled the air.
At this moment, Zhang Runde looked at the official who was firmly under his control with a ferocious expression and cursed.
"Damn it, you actually dare to sneak attack on me, let's see how I deal with you!"
Zhang Runde said, and immediately started punching and kicking to vent the anger in his heart.
Just as everyone was fighting fiercely, a voice full of anger was heard in everyone's ears.
"Whatever you are doing, please stop it!"
After hearing the words, everyone stopped their hands and followed the sound. They saw all five members of the cabinet present. Behind them, there was also a large group of forbidden troops to maintain order.
The one who had just spoken to stop everyone was Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet. At this moment, he was looking at these people with a look of hatred for steel.
Zhang Runde, the Minister of Justice, saw Yan Song arriving, and hope suddenly rose in his heart. He patted the dust on his body, stood up from the ground, and said respectfully: "Mr. Yan Ge, we..."
However, before Zhang Runde finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Yan Song: "Stand aside and shut up for me!"
Zhang Runde did not dare to disobey Yan Song's order, so he had to stand aside angrily.
Not only Yan Song, but also the expression on Xu Jie's face was extremely ugly at this moment. What he didn't expect was that things would develop to this point.
"Hmph, what a bunch of losers. I just asked you to stop Yan Guan and not let them meet His Majesty. Who knew they would start fighting?"
"It's okay to fight, but I haven't fought yet!"
Xu Jie thought so and swept his eyes from the faces of his subordinates one by one. Perhaps out of shame, the subordinates caught by Xu Jie's eyes lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
At this moment, Gao Gong stepped forward to smooth things over: "Since the matter has already happened, let's think about how to deal with it first, right?"
Gao Gong said this, and after looking around, he said coldly.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Seeing Gao Gong's appearance, Zhang Runde, Wang Ting, and Hu Yingjia looked at each other and then narrated the cause and effect of the matter.
However, they all spoke from their own standpoints, and no one could convince the other. If the cabinet and the imperial army were not present, there might have been another fight.
After listening to the three people's narratives respectively, Gao Gong had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the whole matter.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Luo Longwen, whose face was full of injuries, and asked.
"Just now Zhang Runde said that the cause of the incident was because Yan Guan was the first to attack you, right?"
After Luo Longwen heard this, he nodded firmly and immediately spoke.
"That's right, they were the ones who made the first move!"
As soon as Luo Longwen finished speaking, Hu Yingjia stood up angrily and spoke back.
"Bah, shameless, it was obviously your side who made the first move!"
Zhang Runde on the side heard this, covered the injury on his face with one hand, and retorted.
"Humph, you are clearly to blame for that!"
When Hu Yingjia heard this, he was immediately furious. He immediately turned his gaze to Zhang Runde and said coldly.
"Why, do you still want to do it?"
"Come on, am I, Zhang Runde, still afraid of you?"
Just as the battle between the two was about to break out, Yan Song's voice without any emotion sounded in their ears.
"Stop it all, don't you think you are embarrassed enough?"
"As an official of the imperial court, I actually gathered a crowd to fight in the Forbidden City in broad daylight. I don't know how to explain it to His Majesty!"
When Yan Song said this, his tone suddenly increased.
When Zhang Runde and Hu Yingjia on the side heard Yan Song's words, a look of shame suddenly appeared on their faces. They just lowered their heads silently and said no more.
After that, Yan Song turned around, looked at the Forbidden Army officer on the side, and ordered: "Now, take them all down to me, and take them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to await their fate!"
After Yan Song's words fell, the Forbidden Army officer seemed to be greatly frightened, his pupils suddenly shrank, and for a long time, he did not dare to take action.
Yan Song saw that the Imperial Guards officer had not taken action yet, and the expression on his face became even more impatient, and he immediately urged him.
"Why, didn't you hear what I said?"
The Forbidden Army officer was about to cry when he heard this.
Are you kidding me, what's in front of me right now are the key members of Qingliu's side, the key members of Yan's Party, and Yan Guan who is not easy to mess with.
He couldn't afford to offend any of these three parties, and now, Yan Song actually asked him to take all these people away!
After that, the Forbidden Army officer carefully considered his words before suggesting to Yan Song.
"Yan... Mr. Yan Ge, if you want... or else, let's forget about this matter!"
What greeted him was Yan Song's unusually cold gaze. The moment he met Yan Song's gaze, the Forbidden Army officer knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Helpless, he had to call his subordinates to come forward and control all the officials involved in the fight.
After that, both the other officials of the six departments and the eunuchs and maids on duty all saw such a scene.
Many officials who usually held high positions of power and authority were almost all injured at this moment and were being escorted by the Forbidden Army in an awkward manner towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Hey~ what happened? The man with a face as swollen as a pig's head seems to be Zhang Runde, the Minister of Justice, right?"
"Yes, that's right, it's him, Yan Maoqing, and Luo Longwen. No, how come the people from Qingliu are also among them?"
"Look, it seems those officials are among them!"
"What on earth is going on? Is it possible that these parties are fighting?"
Soon, the news of this abnormal explosion spread through the entire government and the public at an extremely terrifying speed with everyone's words and words, causing countless officials to talk about it and even clapped their hands.
At this moment, the officials responsible for managing the prisons of the Ministry of Punishments were already breaking out in cold sweat and their scalps were numb.
Because next, he will imprison his immediate boss, Zhang Runde, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Not only that, but also Yan Maoqing, Luo Longwen, and even Wang Ting from Qingliu are among them, and even those who are quite difficult to deal with. The officer is also in the team.
"These two parties are actually fighting. What happened in the middle?"
At this moment, this was what the official was thinking, but before he could come up with a reason, Zhang Runde's voice rang in his ears.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly put us all in the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"
When the official saw this, he was immediately caught in a dilemma. Immediately, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, mustered up the courage, and came to Zhang Runde with a flattering look on his face. .
"Sir... Sir, how about... how about I ask you to have a doctor from Tai Hospital come over?"
When Zhang Runde heard this, he became furious. He immediately grabbed the official by his collar and reprimanded him.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? Put us all in the prison of the Criminal Department now!"
When the official in charge of the Prison Department of the Criminal Department heard this, he didn't care about anything else and responded repeatedly.
"As you...as you command, my lord!"
After that, the official in charge of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment gritted his teeth and immediately ordered his subordinates.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and follow your orders!"
"Yes, sir!"
After that, the group of people successfully entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. After that, the official who was in charge of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment summoned his subordinates and whispered in his ear.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and ask the doctor to come over and treat the adults!"
"As you command, my lord!"
…
The news spread very quickly. At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, Lu Fang was describing the whole story to Jiajing.
After listening to Lu Fang's description, Jiajing's face suddenly became strange, and he immediately confirmed it to Lu Fang.
"They actually started fighting, who won?"
Lu Fang obviously did not expect Jiajing to ask such a question. After thinking about it for a moment, he answered carefully.
"Your Majesty, it is said that Yanguan's side had the upper hand at the beginning. Later, when Wang Ting, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, led people to join in, the battle situation reversed instantly. However, there were many dissatisfactions between the two parties before that, so to In the end, it gradually turned into a big melee between the three parties!”
"Zhang Runde, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Luo Longwen, the Minister of Works, Wang Ting, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Hu Yingjia, who was involved in the incident, all suffered varying degrees of injuries. Later, they were all detained by Mr. Yan Ge who came after hearing the news. Enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and await your fate!"
Lu Fang paused for a moment when he heard this, and then continued to add.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yange and the others should be on their way to Qianqing Palace now!"
After listening to Lu Fang's story, Jiajing picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then spoke slowly.
"The whole thing was clearly planned by Yan Song and Xu Jie. Without their instructions, even if Yan Maoqing and the others were given ten courages, they would never dare to act like this!"
"Hmph, if things go wrong, their cabinet will not be held responsible. If things go well, they will take the biggest credit. These two old foxes are really good at calculating!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he immediately picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp.
Lu Fang, who was on the side, heard what Jiajing said, and immediately asked Jiajing anxiously: "What do you mean, Your Majesty..."
When Jiajing heard this, he glanced at Lu Fang, waved his hand and said slowly.
"Forget it, since the goal has been achieved, I will just turn a blind eye!"
After Jiajing finished speaking, Lu Fang immediately complimented him.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Just when Lu Fang was about to say something, the guiding eunuch hurried in and reported to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yange and the others are waiting outside Qianqing Palace at this time. They say they have something important to report!"
After hearing this, Jiajing glanced at the guiding eunuch and immediately gave the order quite casually.
"Well, I understand, let them come in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After receiving specific instructions from Jiajing, the guiding eunuch did not stop at all and quickly turned around and left.
At this moment, outside the Qianqing Palace, Yan Song and others were anxiously waiting for Jiajing's summons.
Yan Shifan looked at the Qianqing Palace so close in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness in his heart. After all, such a bad incident was happening in the Forbidden City right now.
As Yan Song said before, many court officials gathered to fight in the Forbidden City in broad daylight. How could the cabinet explain this to His Majesty!
At a small scale, it can be said that the ministers had conflicts due to disagreements with each other. At a larger scale, this is clearly damaging the face of the royal family. Where is this, this is the Forbidden City!
At this moment, a high-pitched voice was heard, interrupting Yan Shifan's thoughts.
"His Majesty, let you go there!"
"Well, thank you for your work, father-in-law!" (End of chapter)
