Liu Mingzhi happily patted Yang Tai on the shoulder: "You have gained a lot of weight. It seems that the Imperial Guard has been doing well in the past year!"
"I said, you are guarding the palace gate, and I have to pass through you before entering the palace. You must have taken bribes."
Yang Tai looked at Young Master Liu with an embarrassed expression and laughed apologetically: "The prince is joking, I have no choice but to do this as a middle-aged man. He will gain weight no matter what he eats, and there is nothing he can do about it."
"When did the prince return to Beijing? Why didn't he inform the court in advance?"
"I feel homesick, so I came back with dozens of brothers to have a look. It just so happens that today is the court meeting. How can I not come to the court?"
"The general is still a little unaccustomed to what the prince said. The prince took the initiative to go to court. I think the storyteller in the restaurant has said something again."
"You guy, your mouth is still so oily. How long has it been since the morning?"
"Almost half an hour."
"It's been so long, I won't reminisce with you anymore. Let's have a drink together when we have the chance."
"Okay, I will definitely go to the appointment when I am not on duty. Your Majesty, please come here. I would be rude."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and walked aside, and was searched by Yang Tai. Song Qing and others who were familiar with Yang Tai also had to be searched. There was no way around it, rules were rules.
After searching, Yang Tai put Liu Mingzhi and others into the palace, but Yang Tai did not retain the sabers worn by the twenty-three people from Song and Qing Dynasties.
Generals have the right to bring weapons into the palace, but they need to put them on the arming rack outside the Qinzheng Palace.
After entering the palace, Liu Mingzhi's twenty-four people walked towards the Qinzheng Palace at a leisurely pace.
He didn't care at all about the curious looks of the palace guards.
After half a stick of incense, Liu Mingzhi and others finally arrived in front of the Qinzheng Hall. Liu Mingzhi smiled softly when he heard the controversy coming from the hall, and turned to look at the people in Song and Qing nurturing their mouths at the disarmament stand outside the hall.
"Disband the troops and enter the palace."
"Got the order!"
Song Qing and others took off their sabers and placed them on the stand, and then Liu Mingzhi took the lead and walked straight into the palace.
"Long live my emperor, Liu Mingzhi!"
"Your Majesty Song Qing!"
"Jia Zhengzheng!"
"Cheng Kai!"
"Zhou Baoyu!"
"Feng Buer!"
"Ye Baotong!"
"Ning Chao!"
"Tang Confucianism"
"Jiang Lei!"
"Han Peng!"
"Han Zhong!"
"Zhang Feng!"
"..."
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
The noisy Qinzheng Hall suddenly became quiet, and you could hear the needle drop.
There was no movement in the hall for a long time. Liu Mingzhi raised his head and looked at the empty dragon chair on the dragon platform. He narrowed his eyes and stood up slowly.
Li Ye actually came to court.
Song Qing and others were stunned for a moment, and then stood up along with Young Master Liu.
Liu Mingzhi walked slowly towards the foot of the dragon platform, looking around quietly at every official in the palace.
There were officials he was familiar with, and there were officials he didn't know at all. These officials were all looking at him blankly.
Liu Mingzhi looked around at the officials in the palace and walked towards Prince Qing Li Baihong who was kneeling on guard.
"Second brother, where is your Majesty?"
Li Baihong looked at the sudden arrival of Young Master Liu in surprise, and hurriedly stood up.
"Brother-in-law, why did you come back suddenly?"
"Second brother, we'll talk about this later. Where is your majesty?"
Li Bohong glanced at the empty dragon chair with a complicated expression: "It's said that the dragon's body is ill and it's not convenient for him to go to court."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently: "The dragon's body is ailing and I can't go to court. Is the imperial doctor here?"
"No!"
"The dragon's body is sick, but the imperial doctor didn't come. How can he behave like this?"
"Brother-in-law, as a minister, I naturally don't dare to...sigh..."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile and glanced at Su An, the general manager, who was kneeling on the dragon platform next to the dragon chair and holding a roll of imperial edict. He raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards the middle.
"Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng."
"The general is here!"
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask some highly skilled physicians to enter the palace quickly to diagnose and treat His Majesty."
"The last general takes orders."
As soon as Du Yu left, the civil and military officials finally reacted. Many officials who were familiar with Young Master Liu hurriedly stood up and greeted Young Master Liu with a smile.
"I see you, King Bingjian!"
"Your Majesty, it's polite to serve as an official."
"My lord, I haven't seen you for a year. Are you still well?"
"Your Majesty..."
The Qinzheng Hall suddenly became lively, and most of the officials greeted Young Master Liu. Liu Mingzhi also smiled and returned the greetings one by one, but his eyes never left the middle-aged man who was kneeling in the seat of Jiang Yuanming, the former Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. .
"Quiet, this is the court hall. How do you behave in such a mess? We are reading His Majesty's imperial edict. Why don't you return to your seats quickly?"
A sharp voice came, breaking the noise in the palace.
The officials were stunned, and subconsciously looked at the chief steward Su An, who was sitting on the dragon platform with a slightly flushed face.
Some young officials looked at Su An with evasive eyes, not daring to look directly at Su An. Some older officials looked at Su An, and then looked at Mr. Liu next to them. They stayed there motionless and looked at Su An with an angry expression. Su An's eyes were full of amusement.
Liu Mingzhi pushed aside the officials around him and walked slowly towards the foot of the dragon platform, looking at Su An indifferently.
"Hey, isn't this the General Manager Su An? We haven't seen each other for a year, and the General Manager has a beard. What's the matter? Could it be that the General Manager has practiced some unparalleled martial arts, and he actually managed to master that thing?"
When Su An heard this, his face immediately turned purple, and he saw Young Master Liu's body trembling a little: "King Bingjian, you...you...we are here to read out the imperial edict for His Majesty. If you humiliate us, you will humiliate us." ....."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes: "What are you? You can also sit in that position? Get out of here."
"What? What did you say?"
"I told you to get out of here. You'd better be smarter. Otherwise, if I invite you to get the Emperor's Golden Whip, it won't be as simple as getting out of here."
Feeling the evil look in Young Master Liu's eyes, Su An shuddered subconsciously and swallowed.
Looking at Young Master Liu's cold eyes, Su An seemed to see hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses charging towards him from Young Master Liu's eyes.
Looking at the narrow eyes of many officials around him, a trace of resentment flashed in Su An's eyes, and then it disappeared, and he hesitated and stood up.
"Let's go down and declare the decree. We'll come down and declare the decree right now."
Su An did not dare to look at Young Master Liu, rolled up the imperial edict and walked down the dragon platform.
"Wait!"
Su An was stunned and looked at Young Master Liu standing next to Li Baihong in surprise.
"My lord, is there anything else?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Su An coldly and sneered.
"What's wrong? Without that thing, will it still affect my hearing?"
"I told you to get down, not get down!"
"Are you getting out?"
Su An had a humiliated look in her eyes, and Lan Hua pointed at Young Master Liu with a trembling finger.
"You...you...Bingjianwang, we respect your status, don't bully others too much, we are delivering the decree in accordance with His Majesty's order. .”
"Haha... It seems that General Manager Su is really deaf. Anyway, I have recently learned a few medical skills, specializing in treating various difficult and complicated diseases. In this case, I will give it to you. Cure this deafness that makes you unable to understand human speech."
In the astonished eyes of Su An and all the civil and military officials, Young Master Liu's figure flashed, leaving an afterimage and leaped towards Su An.
A scream was heard, and all the officials realized that Director Su Ansu, who had been standing on the dragon ladder just now, was pinched by Young Master Liu and pinned to the ground. He struggled with a red face.
"Your Majesty... We are the servants of... the Emperor, representing His Majesty... Face, you want to rebel...can't you?"
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue twice.
"The stele of Taizu Emperor Gao's instruction is erected outside the palace."
"The harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics."
"Don't give me random hats."
"Don't talk about curing your deafness or beating you to death. I am also rectifying the affairs of the court on behalf of the late emperor."
"I ask you again, can you understand human speech now?"
"Can...can..."
Liu Mingzhi let go of Su An's neck, took out a handkerchief, wiped his palms, and nuzzled at Longtai.
"Climb up and get down."
"Remember, when Your Majesty is here, whoever is allowed to sit can sit there. When Your Majesty is not here, only Your Majesty can sit in that place. I will not let you go over the limit next time I see you."
"This king will kill you!"
