In the tenth year of Orthodoxy, the first day of September was the day when the great court meeting was held.
Today, God is kind, and the court meeting will be held outside Fengtian Gate as usual. The eunuchs from the Imperial Supervisory Department have already set up the throne screen and other things.
Civil and military officials of the seventh rank or above in Beijing were waiting outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for officials from Honglu Temple to guide them inside.
After a few beats of drums, hundreds of civil and military officials began to arrange their shifts, and it took more than ten minutes to form a regular team.
Everyone filed into the palace gate, with senior generals from the Fifth Army Governor's Office and senior executives from the Sixth Cabinet Department walking in the front.
Prince Zhu Jingyuan and Prince Rui Zhu Jingyuan were at the front of the team, quite a bit of a rivalry.
Zhu Jingyuan had made a lot of preparations for today's court meeting, and he was going to attack the prince today.
Poor employment of personnel led to the defeat of the front line, resulting in heavy casualties to the army, and the people of Li were in dire straits...
Each one of them is a good target for attack. How could Zhu Jingyuan let them go so easily?
When he arrived at the predetermined position, Zhu Jingyuan looked at his brother beside him and felt that the gold rim on the corner of Yishan's crown was particularly dazzling under the rising sun.
There is basically no difference between the attire of the prince and the prince. The biggest difference is in the folded corners of the Yi Shan crown.
Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan has been coveting the crown and hat worn by the prince for a long time.
"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Zhu Jingyuan asked in a low voice.
The two of them were almost standing together, and even the low voices could be heard clearly.
Zhu Jingyuan turned his head and said in a cold tone: "Excuse me, Sixth Brother, for your concern, I'm not dead yet!"
"Fourth brother, what do you mean by this... I care about you!"
"I can't bear it. If I let you care a few more times, I'm afraid my brother's life may not be saved!"
"Fourth brother, I have always respected you, but I didn't expect to be criticized so harshly by you!"
"Lao Liu, it's too much to say anything less. You and I should say less!"
The two brothers quarreled for a few words, then became quiet and stopped talking. Both sides knew what would happen next.
After everyone entered the official arena outside Fengtian Gate, a few minutes later, the musicians on Danbi's left and right began to play.
In the peaceful and solemn Fengtian Gate, Zhu Xianming appeared in a chariot sedan chair, wearing an ocher yellow robe and surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
Finally, the sedan chair landed on the west side of the throne. Zhu Xianming stepped forward to the throne, glanced at the many officials below, and then slowly sat on it.
"kneel……"
Under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, all the officials present knelt on the ground, and then shouted: "I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor!"
Hundreds of officials were all shouting, and the sound was like a huge wave, making everyone at the scene clearly aware that the emperor's supreme status was dominated by imperial power.
At the right door to the east of the Meridian Gate, someone was looking at the situation in front of him.
Today, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are all coming to attend the court meeting, so Zhu Jinghong and the other two have the morning off.
Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun stayed in the palace, but Zhu Jinghong was a restless person, so he came to see the court meeting in person.
The sight of Baiguanshan shouting long live at this moment really shocked him, but he had a different view.
"This is what a man should do!" Zhu Jinghong sighed in his heart.
The solemn square, the peaceful music, the majestic guard of honor, the respectful officials...
The scene in front of him was good, but in Zhu Jinghong's opinion, there was something wrong. For example... the person sitting on the dragon chair was not him.
It seems that I can't sit still, so I have to find something to do quickly... Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
"Master Thirteen, I found you..."
The visitor is Lu Yuxin. He is not on duty today, so he can walk around the palace.
"Have everyone been summoned?"
Lu Yuxin replied: "We have all been summoned, and the injured brothers are also here. They are all waiting outside Longwu Hall!"
Since there was nothing going on today, Zhu Jinghong summoned the guards and planned to entertain them at a banquet outside Longwu Hall to express his gratitude to everyone for their rescue.
"Okay... let's go there!"
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong took Lu Yuxin and left.
At the court meeting in the square behind him, the contest between the two legitimate princes also officially began.
On the occasion of the debate at court, Zhu Jinghong had arrived at Longwu Gate.
Longwu Hall is located in the southeast of the Forbidden City, north of Donghua Gate, and to the south is the Long Imperial Guard Command Department.
As the place for the "palace examination" of martial arts, Longwu Hall itself is not large in scale, but its area is very wide. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small school ground.
Entering Longwu Gate, more than twenty guards were waiting here, and they all saluted when they saw Zhu Jinghong.
"No gifts, no gifts..."
When everyone stood up, Zhu Jinghong said: "I have been very busy these days, and I didn't have time to say thank you to you. I don't feel happy when I think about it!"
"There will be a banquet here today, and we won't go home until we get drunk!"
Hou Jing said with doubts on his face: "Master Thirteen, it's okay for us to drink, but you..."
"I've asked for my will, why are you worrying so blindly?"
Walking among the guards, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Today... let's eat something different!"
Hou Jing laughed and said: "Thirteenth Master, although our family is not as good as the palace, but I have never eaten it before, so how can it be different?"
Glancing at Hou Jing, Zhu Jinghong's eyes were a little unkind, and he was so frightened that he quickly shut up and lowered his head.
"Hou Jing!"
"I'm here..."
"I noticed...you talk a lot!"
"Master Thirteen, I am..."
"Before, I wanted to see the sea, and you told me that it was not the sea. Now I say something new, and you say there is nothing new..."
"Thirteenth Master, I..."
Before Hou Jing could speak, Zhu Jinghong looked around and said, "Do you think this guy did it on purpose?"
"yes!"
"Should I be punished?"
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Hou Jing had a grimace on his face and could only accept the fate of being punished, secretly cursing himself for not talking too much.
"That's good, let him drink three big bowls first!"
"Drink from a bowl?" Zhang Lin asked in surprise.
Generally speaking, everyone uses a small wine cup, or at most a larger wine cup. It is too unrestrained to drink from a bowl.
"I said I won't come home until I'm drunk, why do I still need to use a cup?"
While everyone was talking, Zhu Jinghong led them to the west side of Longwu Hall, where tables and chairs had been set up and a dozen young eunuchs were busy.
Seeing the smoke-filled situation in front of them, all the guards were confused, and then someone asked: "Master Thirteen...is this a barbecue?"
Barbecued meat is not unusual, but the way it is skewered and grilled with various seasonings is a bit different.
Zhu Jinghong did not answer, but looked aside: "Hou Jing, you must have never eaten this before!"
Hou Jing said with a smile: "It's quite fresh!"
"Everyone, take your seats and don't be restrained!" Zhu Jinghong directed everyone.
When the barbecue was served, Hou Jing had already drank three large bowls and completed the task of being punished.
Picking up the wine bowl, Zhu Jinghong looked to the left and right with a smile and said, "Come on, let's raise a toast and let's do it!"
Everyone present was a disciple of Wu Xun, and Zhu Jinghong's heroic spirit really infected them.
"Dry!"
Everyone was eating barbecue and drinking wine. They were having such a happy time that more guards came in to check.
Zhu Jinghong is not stingy either. Everyone who comes can eat and drink. It is better to enjoy the meal alone than to enjoy the meal together.
Although a barbecue cannot win people over, it can further bring them closer together, which is of great benefit to Zhu Jinghong.
