On the Arhat bed in the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, there is a small low table with an exquisite small charcoal stove sandwiched on it.
In the stove, the green spinach, crystal vermicelli and slightly red mutton slices tremble slightly in the hot juice, which makes people's appetite whet their appetite.
In addition to this pot dish, there are also brightly colored winter bamboo shoots braised in oil, a box of fried lotus root with a scorching aroma, and a silver flower roll as the main dish. For the first time, there is also a pot of warm wine.
The ministers in Zhunan's study were all worried. There was such a big fuss outside the Meridian Gate, but the emperor was still in the mood to eat and drink?
Unusual!
Abnormal!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! Although the emperor in front of him is not as violent as Emperor Taizu Gao, he is not a tolerant and magnanimous master at all.
"Your Majesty, the dishes are all ready. You can enjoy your meal!"
The bastard put a cup with blue and white branches in Zhu Yunxi's hand and said softly.
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi skillfully picked up the wine bottle, wiped out the water droplets on it, and glanced at the ministers in the palace, "Where are theirs?"
"Slave, please let me prepare some for you adults!" The bastard bowed down and said.
As the general manager of the Qianqing Palace, Wang Bashi still had this look. When the emperor came from the Meridian Gate, he didn't turn anyone away. He asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the meals for these ministers.
After walking outside the palace and waving slightly, a group of palace officials came in carrying various foods and dinner tables, placing them in front of each minister one by one.
Zhu Yunxi picked up his chopsticks and smiled, "You have to eat even for big things! Only when you are full can you have the strength to do things!"
As he spoke, as if he was very hungry, he soaked a silver flower roll in the soup pot, dipped it in the soup and bit into half of it.
Who wants to eat it?
Seeing the emperor pick up the chopsticks, the ministers had no choice but to taste the food, and they seemed to be confused.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yan had no idea what he was chewing. After swallowing it whole, he said, "With hundreds of officials kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, you should handle it with caution! Otherwise, government affairs will be delayed... Right now It’s almost the New Year’s Eve again!”
"It can't be delayed!" Zhu Yunxi took a sip of wine, his mouth was a little big, and downed half the glass in one gulp. He tried his best to suppress the smell of alcohol rolling in his stomach, and said with a smile, "They are kneeling on their knees, and they must do the work they should do!" He looked up and looked at Xin Yande, "Xin Aiqing!"
Xin Yande was competing with a piece of pickled bitter melon on the plate in front of him. Hearing this, he stood up quickly and said, "I'm here!"
"Send the decree to all ministries and yamen!" Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and ate the food. He said, "In all ministries and yamen, there are officials in charge kneeling outside the Meridian Gate, and the official documents of the errands they should do are sent to the noon. Outside the door." He said and snorted, "Let them kneel down and run errands at the same time! Don't they claim to be loyal and upright? Let's see who dares to perfunctory the government affairs of the court!"
Suddenly, all the ministers smiled bitterly.
The emperor is competing with these people!
Some people also suddenly thought about the most violent killings of civil servants in the Hongwu Dynasty. Because there were too many convicted officials, and for fear of delaying government affairs, those convicted were allowed to work while wearing shackles.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yan sighed, looked at his colleagues around him, and said sincerely, "I know you are angry, but... continuing like this is not the way to solve the problem!"
Among the ministers in the South Study Room, he was the eldest and oldest, so he had to speak first to persuade the emperor. He also hated those officials who made trouble, but the older people always thought that the government would be safe and could not Too radical.
"Then tell me, how to solve it?" Zhu Yunxi stopped his chopsticks, "Do I have to remove Li Zhigang and then say something against his will to appease them?"
"I didn't mean that!" Zhang Yan lowered his head and said.
"Since you don't mean that, just do what I want!" Zhu Yunxi sneered again, "Haha! I'm afraid they are scolding me now!"
These words immediately made the officials feel terrified.
Just listen to Zhu Yunxi continue, "Call me a foolish king! Haha, I will definitely take this as a foolish king today! I will become a foolish king, what's the matter? Oh, if I become a foolish king, will the Ming Dynasty be destroyed?"
As he spoke, there was a bit of disdain on his face, and his tone became more and more unkind, "The character of a scholar, the integrity of a civil servant! Haha, it is really a great righteousness!"
"If I were really a fool, they would all be dead by now! If I were a fool, they wouldn't dare to kneel down with hundreds of people and follow this trick of forcing me into the palace! Please persuade me, let me comfort you with good words, and make me give in.
!”
"Why don't you tell those who are kneeling that such behavior is not the way of a minister? There are hundreds of ways to admonish, why do you choose such a stubborn one?"
"I am guilty!"
Zhu Yunxi's words made all the ministers unable to sit still and stood up one after another.
"Okay! Eat!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hands coldly and sneered, "Xin Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
"You are my daily official!" Zhu Yunxi picked up a chopstick of mutton and vermicelli, put it into his mouth, and chewed it. "Today's events should be written truthfully in my daily life note! Let future generations take a good look at it!"
"Your Majesty..." Xin Yande had no choice but to say, "I obey the order!"
"Hey!" Zhang Yan closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly missed someone, and that was Zhu Gaochi, the royal minister who was presiding over the canonization of the vassal king in Burma.
"If he were here, he could still persuade the emperor!" Zhang Yan thought in his heart, suddenly became alert and smiled bitterly, "No, the emperor should have anticipated the reaction of the ministers, so he chose to send Zhu Gaochi to Burma in advance.
Earth, let him escape this dispute!"
The officials are making trouble, and it is the emperor who is making trouble, but it is not the ministers of the South Study Room who are in the center who are making trouble! The officials cannot take advantage of the emperor, so the next step will definitely be aimed at the ministers of the South Study Room.
.
Because once the officials can no longer make trouble, they have to shift the conflict.
Zhang Yan groaned in his heart and turned his eyes slightly. Next to him, Xu Huizu ate the food on his plate as if nothing had happened.
He suddenly thought of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong who had just maintained order in front of the Meridian Gate and had conflicts with officials and students.
"That's a very smart man. He didn't go to the emperor's side just now, but he rushed to confront those people outside the Meridian Gate and yelled insults that were disrespectful to his status. Obviously, he has made his attitude clear, and it will definitely deter all officials from trying to deal with him in the future.
There is no way out!"
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a voice outside the palace door.
"Your Majesty, Duke Cao Guo is here!" Bashan said at the door.
"Well, let him come in!" Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and said, "Prepare hot food for him!"
The moment he finished speaking, Li Jinglong strode in from outside, his official hat still stained with snow and his bright unicorn uniform covered with dirt.
"My lord...kowt to the Emperor!"
After entering the palace, Li Jinglong bowed to everyone in surprise.
Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not a big court meeting, so why do you do this big ceremony?"
"Your Majesty..." Li Jinglong raised his head and looked at Zhu Yunxi, "I was incompetent and did not stop them, which made you feel wronged, Your Majesty!"
"It has to be Lao Li!" Among the ministers, Xie Jin, who had been silent all this time, secretly slapped his thigh and said to himself, "Everyone is trying to persuade the emperor to value peace and to be patient, but who can see this?
How angry is the emperor? When officials do this, isn’t this fucking bullying? Are they bullying our emperor?”
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi had a happy smile on his face.
"If you can't stop me, don't stop me. I didn't let anyone stop me." He said, sighing, "They don't even give me face, so they will give you face?" Then he glanced at Li Jinglong again, "On their faces.
what happened?"
