Just for a moment, the officials who originally looked back to check the situation immediately turned their heads and lowered their heads.
They can kneel in front of the Meridian Gate, and they can be shameless and do not have the official status to kneel down.
However, you must not do this in front of these people!
Yutian took the lead and personally helped an old man from Yingtian City into the corridor.
"Old man, please walk slower and be careful where you step."
"There is a monkey show in the palace today, as well as a troupe from Suzhou Mansion. Your Majesty has not spoken to everyone for a few days, so the palace is free today."
Yutian was very attentive and spoke very loudly, as if he was afraid that the old men in their seventies and eighties could not hear him clearly.
But when it reached the ears of the officials in front of the Meridian Gate, it had a different flavor.
When has there ever been a monkey show in the palace? Even the troupe sings a lot of flowers, and they must be decent and wealthy.
Besides, His Majesty is considerate of the people, so he only summons these people to the palace during festivals, not during special times like this.
Moreover, even if there is a banquet for the people in the palace, it should be done by people from the twenty-four yamen, but it is not the chief steward of Taisun Mansion who should do such a thing, which is somewhat like Li Daiguan.
The officials lowered their heads, already full of speculations in their minds.
More and more people walked into Duanmen, and more and more people were curious about why those officials were kneeling here.
"Daban, why are these... here?"
Yu Tian looked sideways at the old man beside him, and then at the officials kneeling on the ground, with a trace of ridicule flashing across his face: "How can I, a slave, know about the affairs of the imperial court?"
"They must have done something wrong and were punished here by His Majesty!"
Some people behind him were already shouting loudly, and they looked like they were swearing.
Yu Tian immediately let out a light sigh and asked: "There can't be so many people. I didn't know it until now."
Some people who were invited to the palace clapped their chests and said plausibly: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous and loves the people. It must be that they have done something wrong, so Your Majesty will punish them. Otherwise, they are full of food. Did you come here and kneel?"
"Yeah!"
"They must have done something wrong. If they had done nothing wrong and had not made His Majesty unhappy, who would have come here and knelt down?"
The people simply thought about the problems they saw in front of them.
In the hearts of the people, the officials above the court are usually aloof, and they would like to look at people with their noses.
They stubbornly believed that if these officials had not done something wrong, it would be absolutely impossible for them to kneel in front of the Meridian Gate.
These people are here to apologize!
Yu Tian stopped talking and just looked at the Meridian Gate Gate Tower in front of him silently.
His Highness Taisun asked him to invite the people in the city into the palace, so he did so. At first I didn't know why His Highness had this idea, but now I understand it after listening to the discussions among the people.
Today, His Highness invited these people to the palace to watch a play. What they saw was not the troupe, but the play in front of the Meridian Gate.
The common people who were invited into the palace became more courageous when they saw that no one was stopping them from discussing.
The emperor had nothing to say to the people in recent years. In the early years, when people encountered injustice, they would come to the palace to complain to the emperor.
What's more, these people in Yingtian City, at the feet of the emperor.
The courage is greater than that of the people outside.
Seeing that there was no one to stop them, the officials lowered their heads one by one, and the people became more and more determined that these officials had done something wrong.
then.
Then a white-haired old man came to an official with a cane.
The old man, who was trembling when he walked and needed the support of his chamberlain, actually hit the official on the back with his crutches.
"Let you evil-hearted people make His Majesty angry, and the old man will beat you to death!"
In front of the Meridian Gate, chaos broke out in an instant as the old man raised his stick to slap the officials.
The servants stepped forward to help and pull him, but they did not dare to use too much force, for fear that something would happen to the old man in the palace.
And the official who was beaten did not dare to resist at all.
If someone was killed because of his own carelessness, he would really have no excuse.
The palace officials who were kneeling around him quietly moved their knees, trying to stay away from the place of right and wrong.
As for the common people, seeing that no one dared to stop them, more and more people joined in.
It is not often that you have the opportunity to beat an official without being blocked.
For a time, the people who entered the palace no longer wanted to see the emperor, and they surrounded the officials who were kneeling on the ground and beat them.
"stop fighting!"
"stop fighting!"
"Stop fighting!"
There was complete chaos in front of the Meridian Gate, a mess.
Yutian kept shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to stop the chaotic scene in front of him, but he just stood there without moving a step.
Zhai Shan and others in front of the officials had already seen the common people being brought into the palace, but they didn't know what to do at first. Now they saw that these common people were beating the court officials, and they were all shocked on the spot. tingling.
Seeing that all these people are older than themselves, they don't dare to slack off at all, for fear of causing greater trouble and causing loss of lives.
Zhai Shan and others rushed over with panic on their faces.
Zhai Shan, who was already angry and angry, forgot about the decent rules of the former court and the harem, and reached out to grab the collar of Yutian who was standing aside to watch the excitement.
"What's going on! You're so good, why are you bringing these people into the palace! Why don't you pull them away quickly!"
Yu Tian looked at Zhai Shan indifferently and was not angry: "Zhai Butang, this is His Majesty's oral instruction. Today I will have fun with the people in the palace. The people feel that these adults have done something wrong and made His Majesty unhappy, so I’m venting my anger on His Majesty’s behalf.”
"Your Majesty, why do you need them to vent your anger?" Zhai Shan blew his beard and glared, his face full of anxiety: "Why don't you hurry up and get someone to pull them away, and take them into the palace quickly."
Yutian shrugged and showed a helpless expression: "I don't dare. If something happens to these people, I can't afford it."
Zhai Shan was completely helpless.
These common people entering the palace are all guests of the emperor. Something happened to the emperor's guests as soon as they arrived at the door, and the emperor wanted to lose his face.
Zhai Shan could only let go of Yutian, turned around and looked at the retreating common people who were beating the officials, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. They have done nothing wrong. Your Majesty does not need your help to vent your anger." . His Majesty invites you all to come to the palace today to have fun together, so everyone should enter the palace early."
"It doesn't matter whether you are a minister or not!"
Someone scolded Zhai Shan.
Then came the denunciation of countless people, drowning Zhai Shan, the dignified official minister of the Ming Dynasty, in a shower of spittle.
"These people have done nothing wrong, how can they still kneel in the palace?"
"I bother!"
"The old man thinks that these people think that His Majesty is easy to bully. Now they have made His Majesty unhappy and scared, so they are kneeling here."
"Your Majesty is a good man! Your Majesty is unwilling to beat them and punish them, so these old men are helping your Majesty vent his anger!"
"Take out your anger for Your Majesty!"
"..."
The common people must be simple, sincere and pure.
This is what officials expect from the people.
Therefore, when a group of gray-haired old men in their seventies and eighties beat them without shaking their feet, the officials present did not dare to fight back.
It's just that every official present, no matter what kind of beating he received, his face was livid, and his heart was filled with annoyance.
What happened today will definitely spread throughout the city without waiting until tomorrow, and the people will be like the old people present now, who stubbornly and firmly believe that they, the court officials, did something wrong.
Yutian, the general manager of Taisun Mansion, sat idly by and did nothing, which also made the officials react.
This is the Emperor's grandson's move.
Hit them directly in the face.
A solid slap, and his face fell to the ground.
Wang Jun's face looked a little gloomy. He glanced at the eunuch from the Taisun Mansion next to him and snorted: "How can you do whatever you want in the important place of the imperial city? The Ming Dynasty has Ming Dynasty laws. Even if you are guilty, you should be punished. The law rules. Since you have been summoned to the court by His Majesty today, you should not forget the Emperor's grace. How can you put His Majesty's face by making such noise here?"
The Minister of State spoke up, and his words were naturally majestic.
Coupled with Wang Jun's red robe, it is even more official.
After reprimanding and admonishing the people who vented their inexplicable anger and kept saying they were venting their anger on His Majesty's behalf.
Wang Jun looked at Yutian with a gloomy face: "Manager Yu, since your Majesty wants to enjoy the time with the people, it is better not to waste time and keep your Majesty waiting. That would be disrespectful to us as ministers."
Wang Jun's tone was sinister, filled with threats.
Yu Tian lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Everyone, we can't keep His Majesty waiting."
As Yu Tian spoke.
The servants who accompanied the people to the palace immediately stepped forward, and without seeing how hard they used it, they pulled away the people who were pestering the officials and beating them.
Up to now, the common people had made troubles and been beaten. After being pulled away by the servants, they began to breathe heavily, looking like they would collapse at any time.
Yutian just looked at Wang Jun and others blankly: "Everyone, this is the Meridian Gate, which is the gate for the emperor to enter and exit. Today, the officials of the court gathered here. I don't know what the Ming Law says, but I also know that this place represents If His Majesty’s face remains like this, I’m afraid it will be disrespectful to His Majesty.”
After saying that, Yutian ignored the increasingly ugly expressions of Wang Jun and others, turned around, put his hands together, and led the crowd of people to continue walking towards the palace.
Wang Jun looked at Yu Tian who was leaving with a relaxed look, and waved his sleeves violently: "What a disgusting eunuch!"
He cursed.
Yu Xin on the side looked at the messy officials in front of him.
"That's it. If you want to go back, no one will stop you. Let's go back."
This is when I really don’t have any shame when I go back.
There was a cold snort as soon as Yu Xin finished speaking.
Regardless of whether they were beaten or not, the officials silently cleaned themselves up and continued to kneel quietly in front of the Meridian Gate again.
Wang Jun looked like he was gritting his teeth, pointed at these officials, and said to Zhai Shan and the others: "Look! Look! Who are they? They are all so stubborn!"
Ren Hengtai stood aside and glanced at Wang Jun indifferently, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
Ru Yu also said: "That's it. I'm afraid I'll have to leave you here today. Just wait."
Having said that, the Minister of War had already raised his head to look at the sky, looking at the sun and sunshine, and moved to a place with the afterglow.
After finding a place, Ru Rui didn't care and sat directly on the floor, humming a few times on her face. God knows how long the fuss will last today. It’s just a matter of time to get some sunshine.
Zhai Shan looked at Ru Yu's behavior but did not criticize him. Instead, he waved to the clerk who followed him and walked to Ru Yu's side.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the clerk had already put the cotton pad tied under the thick clothes to the ground.
Zhai Shan sat down, took the clothes from the clerk's hands, placed them horizontally and sandwiched them between his lower abdomen and legs.
Seeing this situation, Wang Jun was about to speak, but was pulled back by Yu Xin beside him.
Ren Hengtai looked at the two people with a smile on his face: "There are just a few things here and there. Nowadays, Henan and Shandong are full of waste. The cement official road from Yingtian to Hangzhou is also accelerating. The Ministry of Household and Works I think the department is extremely busy here, why not go back and get busy first?"
"Ren Butang is good at joking." Yu Xingong cupped his hands and said carelessly: "Things are all handled by the people below. If they don't return to the Yamen, what can we do? Just wait. I don't know, it will happen. I won’t miss Ren Budang’s return home for dinner.”
Ren Hengtai snorted and looked at Yu Xin with a somewhat proud expression on his face.
At this time, Ren Hengtai suddenly reached out and stuffed it into his arms, and then took out a few meat patties from his arms.
This old man actually prepared this move in advance!
There was a flash of embarrassment in Yu Xin's eyes, but he saw Ren Hengtai take out a pack of duck legs from his sleeve, and three white and tender scallions.
Before Yu Xin and Wang Jun could speak, Ren Hengtai had already walked up to Zhai Shan and Ru Jin.
"Excuse me, please move somewhere. I didn't bring a cushion. Can I exchange it for a piece of cake?"
Zhai Shan and Ru Yu looked at each other and smiled, then moved their buttocks to both sides. By the time Ren Hengtai sat down, the pancakes, duck legs, and scallions he had brought had been distributed to the two of them.
Kick, kick, kick.
Some angry footsteps followed Yu Xin and Wang Jun to Ren Hengtai.
Ren Hengtai's hand was wrapped in meatloaf with scallions, and a large piece of the duck leg was torn off. Seeing the legs and feet, he raised his head and looked at Yu Xin and the others.
"Oops! I don't have enough!"
Ren Hengtai exclaimed and looked down at the chewed meat patties and duck legs. He raised his head and asked tentatively: "How about..."
Wang Jun was so angry that he wanted to smash the things in Ren Hengtai's hands on the spot. He suppressed his anger and said, "Thank you, I'm not hungry."
As he spoke, Wang Jun came to the side, rolled up his robe and put it under his buttocks, and sat down.
Yu Xin's face was silent, and in his heart, Ren Hengtai and the other three were scolded from head to toe, as well as the women from their three families who went back eighteen generations. Then, with a frosty face, he sat down next to Wang Jun.
