At this moment, Zhai Shan, the official minister of the Ming Dynasty, was angry, helpless, and filled with grief and indignation.
With just a cup of tea, several fire bubbles appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Then he had no intention of paying attention to the physical pain. After overturning the table in the official court, he led the people in the yamen to the Meridian Gate.
"Budo, Budo."
"Slow down..."
The clerks in the yamen chased after him, waving their hands and shouting loudly.
Zhai Shan was full of impatience: "If you don't go, the court will be doomed!"
The clerk was holding a boot in his hand and a thick coat under his arm, which seemed to be wrapped with something: "Bu Tang, you haven't put on your boots yet."
Zhai Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He felt a wave of coldness on the sole of one foot.
He snatched the boots that were brought to him, held them in both hands, bent over and stuck his buttocks out, and stuffed his feet into them.
The clerk said to the side: "I'm worried that something serious will happen today. In order to avoid having to stay there, I should also bring this thick coat. I also stuffed a cotton pad inside. When the time comes, I will Just put it on the ground and hide it with your robe."
Zhai Shan put on his boots and stuffed his trousers, stood up and looked sideways at the official, but without saying anything, he just said, "Follow me to the Meridian Gate first, and then we'll talk about the situation."
Almost at the same moment, the elders in the court rushed back to the palace one after another.
But in the center of the whole scene where all the officials were kneeling in silence, the palace behind the Meridian Gate seemed very peaceful.
Wearing golden armor, the Han generals were majestic and solemn as they wanted to compete with the heavenly soldiers.
The maids in the palace were wearing nepotism, and under the leadership of the female officials, they walked under the palace glass. From time to time, they would imagine what the women outside the palace walls would be like.
On the other hand, those rootless servants, who had no external thoughts, just took in their sons, found the right food, climbed up in the twenty-four yamen, climbed on top of other people's heads and stood to shit.
Inside and outside the Meridian Gate, there are two completely different appearances.
Qianqing Palace.
From the steps in front of the palace, you can pass through the palace gate and look out at the three main halls in front.
At this moment, there is still dew outside the temple, and the sunlight rising above the mountain ridge has not yet spread its warmth to the earth.
In front of the palace, Emperor Hongwu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was wearing a single piece of clothing, wearing a piece of coarse linen that had never been discarded and was full of patches. He stood on the floor tiles with his hands on his hips, looking calmly at the Jinshen Hall outside the gate of Qianqing Palace.
Sun Gou'er took a robe from the palace and walked out, coming behind Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the morning dew has not yet fallen, so it is better to add some clothes."
"You dog slave, do you think I'm old?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back sideways, staring at Sun Gou'er with cold eyes and a gloomy tone.
Sun Gouer's heart trembled, and he immediately rolled up his robe and knelt down.
The emperor would only call himself emperor when he was angry or faced with important affairs of the country. Otherwise, it would always be the local dialect of Fengyang, the central capital.
But what frightened Sun Gouer even more was that the emperor asked him if he felt old.
Sun Gou'er's forehead banged on the ground: "I know my crime, and I deserve to die. Your Majesty, your Majesty is in good spirits and your holy body is healthy. You will live forever."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes softened a little, and he waved his hand with a cold snort: "Get up, I'm not scolding you."
But Sun Gou'er couldn't stand it and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is angry. It's all the slaves' fault. It's the slaves who didn't do well, and they should be punished."
"Yes, even you, a dog slave, knows that you will be punished if you mess with me." Zhu Yuanzhang said half a sentence, but looked outside the palace door again.
Sun Gou'er didn't dare to say anything.
The emperor was obviously talking about the civil servants who were kneeling quietly outside the Meridian Gate at this moment. And when he was scolded, he was just a disaster caused by those eggless civil servants.
After a while, Sun Gou'er quietly raised his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want your grandson to return to the palace?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "He crossed the river overnight and got up early to enter the city. Let him go back home and have a good rest."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt sorry for his eldest grandson, rejected the proposal and asked instead: "Where is the prince? It's time to come over now."
Sun Gou'er moved his legs: "The prince has just sent someone over to deliver the message. They will be here in a few moments."
"Dog slave, get up, you eggless coward."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at Sun Gou'er and cursed.
Under the palace wall next to the three main halls, Zhu Biao hurried to Qianqing Palace, and the servants in the East Palace who were accompanying him were also kept away by the prince.
Zhu Biao's face looked very ugly.
Since the last time the royal gate of Fengtian Palace listened to the government, he didn't know about the collective impeachment of all the officials. Today, all the officials knelt down quietly outside the Meridian Gate to force the palace.
The court of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have changed from the court he was familiar with in the past.
"When my grandson returns to Beijing, why don't you go back to the palace to pay your respects?"
Zhu Biao's heart was in confusion, and he suddenly stopped and asked.
However, there was no reply from behind, which made Zhu Biao frown.
When he turned around, he saw the chamberlain of the East Palace chasing after him in a hurry.
"Back to Your Highness, the grandson entered the city today and went to the Meridian Gate Tower. Then he sent a message back to the palace, saying that he would go back to the palace first and then go to the palace to pay his respects in the evening."
Zhu Biao's brows became more and more solemn, and his eyebrows were about to be squeezed into a mountain. He snorted coldly: "He is the cause of everything. Now that something has happened, he went to hide and relax."
The prince scolded his son.
The eldest companion and chamberlain in the East Palace did not dare to say anything. They could only lower their heads and observe whether they were wearing the right shoes today.
Zhu Biao was probably getting angrier as he thought about it, and he waved his sleeves violently: "Shu Zi!"
After yelling and cursing again, he picked up his steps again and rushed towards Qianqing Palace.
By the time Zhu Biao finally arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had already had breakfast.
A bowl of white porridge, a plate of pickles, a plate of fermented bean curd, and a tea egg.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the bowl and crossed his legs, then sat in the side hall of the palace and sipped the white porridge. When he saw the prince coming, he took the kuaizi and nodded at the empty seat in front of him: "If you haven't eaten, do it yourself."
"Son..." Zhu Biao was about to say that he had already had breakfast, but after thinking about it, he smiled and nodded: "Hey, I happen to be hungry."
After that, Zhu Biao sat across from the old man and didn't need anyone to wait on him. He took a bowl and quickly filled half a bowl of white porridge from the big bowl on the side. He mixed some pickles into the white porridge and then drank like Zhu Yuanzhang. stand up.
Zhu Yuanzhang finished the porridge first, put down the bowl and quickly wiped his lower lips, then looked at the prince: "I know everything about the Meridian Gate."
In the Qianqing Palace, if it weren't for the unique royal buildings and the majesty of the palace, it would be difficult for people to think that these are the two most noble men in the world.
On the contrary, they look like an ordinary father and son.
Zhu Biao lowered his head to drink the porridge, nodded and said, "My son has heard about it. He probably did it in a fit of anger. The pickles today are quite good, but was it made by the Xu family woman?"
Zhu Biao replied in parallel, looking up at Sun Gou'er beside him.
The corner of Sun Gou'er's mouth was a little stiff. He glanced at the emperor and then whispered: "Your Highness, the woman of the Xu family made it with her own hands. I will send some jars to the East Palace."
Suck, suck, suck.
Zhu Biao held the bowl with a smile and continued to drink porridge.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his eyes to look at the prince in front of him and laughed: "Are you going to plead for those people outside?"
"My son didn't say this."
Zhu Biao finished the porridge, put down the bowl quickly, looked up at the old man, and replied with a serious expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and said, "Your son caused this, and you still want to plead for those people?"
"Reckless." Seeing that he could not escape, Zhu Biao could only speak in a deep voice: "At this time, I have concluded that the Kong family is the right path. With righteousness in hand, I want to avoid fame and preferential treatment, and there is room for relaxation. Now two things When they get together, they cause trouble, and justice is lost."
"Then I issue an edict to convict those who are causing trouble outside."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dark and he carefully watched the changes in Zhu Biao's expression.
Zhu Biao's heart was in a mess. He looked up at the old man helplessly, with a troubled expression on his face: "You can't torment your son just because of things outside."
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "Then you tell me what I want to do. What you tell me to do, I will do."
Zhu Biao pouted: "Didn't your grandson say that our Yingtian City is so big that there is plenty of room for them to kneel, so let them kneel."
Zhu Yuanzhang had a chuckle on his face: "Then you won't beg for mercy?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh: "Just let that Zhuzi make trouble."
…
"What on earth are they fussing about?"
"Who can give me an accurate word!"
In front of the Meridian Gate, Zhai Shan, who hurriedly came from the Libu Yamen, looked at the officials kneeling all the way from the Meridian Gate to Duanmen with a livid face.
Ren Hengtai, Ru Yu, Yu Xin, and Wang Jun, who were probably just coming from behind, stood on tiptoe and looked under the Meridian Gate, but they did not reply to Zhai Shan's words.
They are all in harmony, pretending to be deaf and dumb when something happens.
Zhai Shan groaned dissatisfied, waved his hand, and continued to rush to the Meridian Gate with his subordinates, regardless of what these people were thinking.
Ren Hengtai and Ru Yu looked at each other, their faces expressionless, but there was some solemnity in their eyes. Seeing that Zhai Shan was probably going to persuade these officials, they followed him silently.
Yu Xin and Wang Jun, who were lagging behind, looked relaxed thanks to the presence of the old god.
The two fell behind and walked forward very easily.
With a mouth full of fire bubbles, Zhai Shan appeared in front of the officials who were kneeling quietly in front of the Meridian Gate.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Zhai Shan stood still on his front feet and began to yell filial piety: "Where is this place? Have you forgotten? You are still confused! You even blocked the Meridian Gate. You are all just eating the emperor's salary, and you don't want to be the emperor. Sharing worries only adds to the worries of the king. Do you still have half of the righteousness of a king and his ministers in your hearts?"
In front of the Meridian Gate, the dignified official minister of the empire was spitting like a woman at the entrance of a vegetable market.
However, the officials in front of them were silent, and no one was willing to answer the official's inquiry.
Zhai Shan was so anxious that he almost jumped: "Even if something happens, you can write a memorial and submit it to the emperor. As an official of the court, you are acting like this at this moment, but you still have half an official body. It is really unbecoming. .”
"Go back. If you don't believe it, send the memorial to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I will personally take the memorial and deliver it to His Majesty."
In front of the Meridian Gate, the officials remained silent and turned a deaf ear to Zhai Shan's persuasion.
The Qianhu officials of the Jin Yiwei who were present quietly stepped forward, got behind Zhai Shan, and whispered: "If the department feels something is wrong, just say a word, and I will drive all these people away."
"presumptuous!"
Zhai Shan suddenly turned around with a serious look and cold eyes, glaring angrily at the Qianhu official of Jin Yiwei who opened his mouth to test.
Qian Huguan curled his lips and said: "Nabudo, please continue. As long as these people don't do anything to collide with Ouchi, we will never interfere at all."
Zhai Shan exhaled the turbid air in his chest, gritted his teeth, and turned to look at the officials who suddenly went crazy again today: "The Ming Dynasty's government is all in the court, and it's all in your hands. You are delaying here. One minute, and the local government will be delayed for a day. Is this the way to be loyal to the emperor in your heart?"
"Not to mention, this year there is also what happened with the Beijing Inspection Bureau. If you are making trouble here today, aren't you afraid that when the Beijing Inspection Committee evaluates it in the future, you will all get a bad grade?"
No matter how hard he tried, Zhai Shan had no choice but to resort to coercion and inducement.
Ren Hengtai and others, who had arrived late, also arrived at Zhai Shan's side.
Wang Jun looked at Zhai Shan, whose face turned pale with anger, and sneered in his heart, then turned to look at the officials kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate.
Wang Jun shouted: "What Shangshu Zhai said is right. You are making a mistake now! Even if there are thousands of difficulties and thousands of words, you can still write a memorial and submit it. Kneel here and do the math. What's going on? Don't you want to be this official anymore?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an official in green robes raised his head and puffed out his chest.
"This is not an official job!"
"Yes! It doesn't matter! If Shangshu Zhai thinks that we are doing something wrong, he can take the black gauze hat from my head right now!"
"When did it become wrong to ask for a face-to-face meeting?"
"..."
One stone set off a thousand waves, and as Wang Jun spoke, all the officials in front of the Meridian Gate finally exploded.
Ren Hengtai opened his mouth, but finally bumped into Ru Ru next to him. He felt that the voice of Minister of War must be louder than his own.
Ru Yu was a little helpless and looked at Zhai Shan, whose hands were shaking in a hurry. Finally, she took a step forward and said in a serious voice, "Shut up!"
As expected of a member of the military department, Rujun suppressed the chaos in front of the Meridian Gate with a roar.
Seeing all the officials shut up, Ru Yu snorted coldly: "If you don't want to leave, no one can drive you away. But when you kneel here, you should make it clear what you want to do. Is it true? You’re full, so you’re kneeling here to eat?”
"Ru Shangshu, dare I ask what happened to the Kong Sheng family, so that everyone in the family was taken to the capital?"
"The Kong family members have not yet entered the capital, but we have heard that Your Majesty wants to take away the honor of being a famous person in the world. Why?"
"Could it be that Your Majesty can't tolerate us, and someone has deceived him and fabricated things about the Confucius family, under the guise of making mistakes, but in fact he is trying to drive me away from the court?"
"We are all from farming and studying families. We have studied hard for ten years in a cold window, and our family is poor and has no rice or grain. The favor of the court and the honor given to our family are due to the prosperity of the family and the prosperity of the world's culture, and the talents are born in large numbers. At present, there is a rumor that they want to take over the world. The honor of being a scholar, I dare to ask you all, do I, the Ming Dynasty, no longer want scholars?"
"If the imperial court really has this idea, why have we studied so hard for decades in the cold window? Studying and becoming an official is for the benefit of the world. If the imperial court does not allow us, how can we have the face to stay in the court? Add jokes.”
"This officer."
"It's not appropriate!"
Several red-robed officials, who were obviously leaders, knelt in front of the officials and spoke eloquently.
As soon as the attributive words came out, countless echoes echoed in front of the Meridian Gate.
"It's not appropriate!"
