The chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, had just argued with a group of his colleagues over the empty chairs in the main hall. Not long after returning to the duty room, he entered his private room in the inner room and handed over a pile of papers that he wanted to present to the emperor today.

The failed report was left on the kang table. It seemed that we had to wait until the emperor summoned the right one on the platform.

But it was already noon, and no eunuch came out to say hello. It seemed like there was no hope for him today.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Before he could take a sip of the tea, he was shocked when he heard the sound of bells and drums. He almost choked himself to death with a sip of tea.

Could there be some big trouble again? Why didn't he know it? So he quickly tidied up his official uniform and hurried out. As he walked to the door, he bumped into a little eunuch who was running towards him in a hurry. Ye Xianggao was

His face darkened: "Is this a place where you can come? How unbecoming is this? Why don't you get out of here."

Literary people are naturally resistant to eunuchs. In this important place, eunuchs are reluctant to come. At this time, the eunuch who rushed over was scolded by Ye Xianggao for no reason. His original excited mood immediately disappeared.

Feeling cold, he took a step back, put a little distance between himself and the superior chief minister, and then said with a smile: "We don't want to come here to find a lot of dislike, but

Eunuch Wei was kind and wanted to inform you of today's major event in advance so that you can always be prepared. As a result, I kindly made a donkey liver and lungs, so forget it." After that, the eunuch didn't even bother to say anything when he came to inform you this time.

, and actually walked away.

Now Wei Zhongxian's power is constantly expanding. Although he has not yet reached the point where he will be in power in a few months, he will be able to compete internally and externally. However, at this time, Wei Zhongxian has not yet had the events that happened in the next few months to make him

His ambitions have expanded, and he is still working hard to repair the relationship between the inside and outside, and try to get closer to the civil servants. However, the civil servants who have always set their sights on the top, especially Dong Lin, who flaunts his reputation, are working hard to reconcile with the eunuchs.

They were at odds with each other, and Dong Lin was on his way to death, with the smoke and dust flying by without even realizing it.

Seeing the little eunuch walking away, Ye Xianggao was so angry that his teeth itched. At this moment, he regretted that he had just sent him away without getting the news in advance, but he wanted to wave him back, but he couldn't lose this face, so in the end he just had to

If you can stomp your feet, you can talk wherever you go.

The Zhongji Hall that had just dispersed became lively again at this time, with civil and military personnel filing in. Before the emperor arrived, they were whispering to each other, trying to find out what might happen, but everyone was at a loss.

I can't explain why.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a melodious voice of "The Emperor has arrived" came from outside the hall. Ye Xianggao immediately stood up and coughed majestically. The whole hall immediately became silent, and everyone held the wat banmu together.

Without squinting, he bowed and waited for the emperor's arrival.

This time, the emperor did not turn around from behind, but walked straight in from outside the main hall. In the middle of the civil and military circles, there was a loud sound of boots, and bright yellow dragon boots were walking briskly in the corner of everyone's eyes.

That tall imperial palace.

Seeing the emperor's brisk steps, Ye Xianggao couldn't help but feel relieved. It seems that the beating of Jingyang bells, dragons, phoenixes and drums today is not a bad thing, but a good thing. So what kind of good thing is it? These are not important.

, as long as it’s not a bad thing.

When the emperor sat down on the throne, the censor in charge of etiquette took the lead in shouting long live the mountain, and all the civil and military officials bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and danced and worshiped like a ritual.

The ministers acted according to the rules they had long been accustomed to. After completing these meticulously, a clear and clear voice from above said: "My dear friends, please be safe."

All the ministers shouted together: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Then they stood up and stood in groups according to their civil and military ranks.

Today is different from the past. There is no such thing as the ministers jumping out to say something as soon as they stand up. Everyone is staring closely at the tablets in their hands, waiting for the emperor's speech.

Tianqi coughed from above, then shook the memorial in his hand, and said excitedly: "The reason why I am beating the drums and ringing the bells to bring all the ministers here again is because I have just received a great piece of good news. I think

Announced here, I want to celebrate with all my ministers and ministers."

Good news, and very good news. This kind of thing is indeed beyond the expectations of all the ministers. In recent years, the entire Ming Dynasty has been experiencing constant natural and man-made disasters. Every time they go to the court to discuss politics, there is one bad news after another. Everyone

There was no chance to whitewash the peace and falsely report good news. How could a huge piece of good news suddenly come out? So everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing this huge piece of good news.

The good news is that on the one hand, I am also rejoicing, and the most important thing is that it concerns everyone's interests. At the very least, the emperor wants to send a celebration fee, right? This is also a little benefit for everyone.

"Just now, I received a report of victory from Marshal Mao of Dongjiang Town. Anyway, Shan Xizhong and Zhu Ming have returned to the Ming Dynasty, and 100,000 people in Liaodong have returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty." When Emperor Tianqi said this, his small body stood tall.

He stood straight, deliberately paused, stopped talking, and waited for the group of ministers below to congratulate him.

However, the situation below made him a little embarrassed, because none of the civil and military ministers stood up to cheer and celebrate. Instead, they whispered to each other. When Emperor Tianqi was embarrassed, a Qingliu minister in the Yushitai walked out of the queue with high spirits and rushed

Emperor Tianqi bowed deeply and said: "This is a gratifying and congratulatory event, so why are there any words of joy? Shan Xizhong and Zhu Ming, as courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, were entrusted by the imperial court to guard Fuzhou and Lushun. However, these two timid and fearful people

Bastard, in the face of Hou Jin's attack, you didn't even think about your responsibility to defend the land or the emperor's grace. You couldn't fight to the death and die for your country when Hou Jin attacked. Instead, you surrendered the whole city to Hou Jin and brought shame to the country. Such rebellion must be opportunistic.

Sir, when I return this time, I would like to ask the emperor to take him down and execute him on the spot as a warning to others."

Hearing such remarks, Emperor Tianqi was completely shocked in his seat. What kind of theory is this? Why does it sound so specious and awkward?

So Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but defend these two people: "At that time, the power of Hou Jin was strong, and the two generals also had unspeakable secrets. This is understandable, but it is just an expedient measure."

As a result, another minister immediately stood up and retorted: "Long live this statement cannot be said. If there is an extenuating situation and an unspeakable secret is used as an excuse to surrender to the enemy, then all the generals in the world can surrender to the enemy. Such a precedent

If it is opened, the country will be destroyed, so these two thieves must be killed."
