Chapter Fourteen: The World Is Surprised

() Feeling the height of the temple, sighing that the rivers and lakes are far away, it was just dawn, and I heard the watchman outside shouting: "At midnight, day and night have changed, five watch! Be on!"

What this means is that Yin Shi arrived, and Chen Yunsheng, who was sleeping soundly in his room, quickly woke up and got up immediately. It was tragic that he, a small official who came from outside to report on his duties, did not get a good accommodation, so he came and wandered around in a hurry.

After paying a visit, he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, exchanged official documents, and then moved to Fenshe. (Note: Fenshe is the residence for officials from other places who come to Beijing)

Even though officials were considered superior in the eyes of the common people, they had to get up at two or three o'clock every day to change into court clothes and wash themselves. This early morning court meeting did not just say goodbye. Chen Yunsheng opened his sleepy eyes, quickly washed his clothes, and put on a blue robe official uniform.

After everything was sorted, I stepped out and wanted to go out. As soon as I opened the door, a cold wind blew by. I couldn't help but wake up a little. I patted my forehead and said, "I almost ruined the big thing."

After saying that, he turned back to the room, walked towards the table, carefully picked up the two scrolls on the table, then smiled and went out again.

There were many houses in this house, but not many people lived in them. Chen Yunsheng opened the door and found that several people were already mounting their horses outside. When Chen Yunsheng came out, he bowed his hands from a distance as a courtesy.

Chen Yunsheng knew that these were local officials who had been authorized to go to court, so he clamped the scroll and walked out of the door, got on his horse.

Just when Chen Yunsheng was reining up his horse and about to leave, the sound of "lifting up the sedan chair" was heard. Chen Yunsheng couldn't help but look at it. It should be known that the people sitting on the carriages were all elderly officials. Most of the civil and military ministers in their prime were riding horses instead.

The curtain was gently opened, and the old man sitting inside saw Chen Yunsheng and couldn't help shouting: "Stop"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people carrying the sedan stopped, and an old man in red court clothes with a silverbait bag hanging on his waist came down and said, "Chen Mingfu, long time no see."

"Ah, Mr. Liu, why do you live here?" Chen Yunsheng saw the old man's appearance clearly and hurriedly dismounted. The old man was Liu Changsheng, the governor of Wuzhou on the Huainan Road. Although he was the governor of Xiazhou, he also had a fourth rank. Unexpectedly

He even lived in a house full of food.

"Thieves Xu and Thieves Luo are at odds!" Liu Changsheng said nothing, and Chen Yunsheng was stunned by his words.

He hurriedly asked: "When?"

"Luo Thief wrote an article to frame the Queen of Heaven. At this time, the article was in the hands of the Queen of Heaven."

"Ah!" Chen Yunsheng was immediately stunned. He didn't know anything about such a big matter. I don't blame him. He came all the way and didn't have many ways to find out.

"Yunsheng, why are you here this time?"

"Oh, the student is here to report on his work in Beijing. The imperial court wants to transfer me to Huainan Road. I hope the teacher will take good care of me in the future."

"Hey... there are a lot of disputes on the Huainan Road, that's all... that's all..." Liu Changsheng waved his hand, turned around, got into the sedan, and drove away slowly.

Chen Yunsheng was stunned on the spot, looking at the scroll in his arms, and then at the sedan chair that was going away. He thought for a moment before getting on his horse and continuing to move forward.

It is true to say that Chang'an is prosperous. It was only the fifth watch. Before the night was over, there were vendors rushing to the market, and there was even smoke from some houses.

Chen Yunsheng had no intention of appreciating these. After a while, he arrived at the gate of the palace city, looking up at the majestic atmosphere. If Tang Guan had been here, he would have been stunned. This is completely different from the restoration of the dilapidated ruins that took thousands of years in later generations.

There is a poem as evidence: "The moon is bright and stands near Yugou Bridge, and the arch is half-opened but has not been released to the court." There is another saying: "Wu Ye approaches the court, and everyone walks in secretly. When they meet, they can't distinguish without inspection."

The first sentence talks about the imperial palace and Yuqiao Xuanmen that the officials saw in the night when they arrived early.

What about the second story? It is about the civil and military officials who came to the palace, but their eyes were dark. Officials who were familiar with each other could not tell each other apart without looking carefully.

Speaking of which, these officials are pitiful. There is such a moat across the city. In this environment, if you are not careful, you will fall. This happened more than once in the previous dynasty. Fortunately, this kind of dishonorable death was still pursued.

A work-injured martyr.

There is another gate under the city. We temporarily pressed down the details. We saw hundreds of civil and military officials lined up. Horses and sedans were all dropped down and someone moved them away.

Chen Yunsheng stood at the back of the crowd, looking at the sedans in front of him that had not yet fallen down, with a look of envy in his eyes. The people in the sedans were all very respected people, but they were all very old, and they came to court with a name.

share.

It seems that this is not the first time that Chen Yunsheng has Xin come to court. In fact, according to his sixth-grade official position, he is not a capital official. Although such opportunities are rare, it is not impossible.

All of a sudden, all the troops were lined up, the city gates were opened, and all the civil and military officials filed in, following various procedures and walking towards the palace in an orderly manner.

It was early morning, and there were no lights in the palace. The officials were groping their way forward according to their rank. Of course, the leaders were all super high-ranking officials. They were extremely skilled. It could be said that they could complete the journey that had taken decades with their eyes closed.

We say "dirty Tang Dynasty stinkers", which refers to the bad customs in these two periods, especially the royal family, which is not uncommon, but the Daming Palace, which has long been buried by history, is solemn and orderly, although the people who went to court

There was a crowd, but there was no sound at all.

Officials from the first to fourth ranks entered the Hanyuan Hall directly, while the remaining local officials from the fifth to fourth ranks lined up in a row outside the hall according to their rank.

They are all officials who are authorized to go to court, and they are not regular court officials within the fourth rank. Besides, if they enter this place, they will not be able to stand.

If the person inside has any important instructions, someone will naturally come out to deliver the message. If the officials outside want to report something, they will naturally have the opportunity to go in.

The palace was heavily guarded. Chen Yunsheng held the scroll in his hands without hiding it. The guards were paying attention, but they did not come forward to ask.

For a moment, Chen Yunsheng's heart was in a state of turmoil. He didn't know if he would donate today or not. Now that Li Jingye had really rebelled, he would never be able to live in peace again after he went to Huainan Road.

...

The huge Hanyuan Hall is majestic and tall, with dragons and phoenixes inside, and tall pillars. The people who can enter are at least given the title of fourth rank "envoy", but at this time they don't dare to breathe.

Looking up, there is no one on the Dragon Throne. Instead, there is a curtain behind the Dragon Throne. They are not here to see the emperor, but they are worshiping the person behind the curtain, who is today's Queen!

Nowadays, it is extremely scary. On weekdays, the prison guards would order them to kneel down and worship, but today it was as quiet as if no one was there behind the curtain, but the looming shadow made them dare not raise their heads.

This is neither worshiping nor speaking. What kind of pilgrimage is this?

Some ministers couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"What a shame, you little kid!" Suddenly an angry female voice came from behind the curtain.

"I deserve death for my crime!"

"I deserve death for my crime!"

Although I don’t know why, this life-saving incision is made just by opening my mouth. It is strange to say that the court language has been cultivated over generations. When the saint is angry, the ministers will deserve death. This saying is actually the same as that of later generations. I bought a watch last year.

They are the same, they are all customary words.

This moment greatly frightened the petty officials outside. Seeing that the big men inside were all opening their mouths to save their lives, they could still stand. Immediately, people outside the palace knelt down.

"I deserve death for my crime!"

"Bang!" A memorial flew out from the curtain and fell to the ground. The courageous and high-ranking officials immediately looked too far.

"Biography of Li Jingye to the World"!

The whole chapter is filled with words written by Yang Yang, and you can already understand the contents without reading. Now there is already an uproar that Zhongzong has been deposed! King Xiang has ascended the throne! Xu Jingye has rebelled!

King Luo Bin's scoldings were heart-warming, and the list of Wu Zhao's crimes was so outrageous that both humans and gods were outraged.

But there is no way to refute it. The swallows pecked the emperor's grandson and promoted and deposed the emperor. These all happened under everyone's nose.

"In such a big temple like ours, no one can stand up and say a word!?" The female voice came out again, but the ministers were silent. King Luo Bin's words shocked the whole world, but Xu Jingye took the opportunity, and his subordinates rebelled against him.

The more you gather.

"Just a little thief, if he offends Tian Yan, I have a plan to wipe him out in an instant!"

The old man's voice sounded, and he was the only official in the room who remained standing.

All the officials looked up and said, "Sure enough, only Pei Yan, the prime minister who cares about life, dares to speak out."

"My husband, you don't think it's enough to cause trouble?" The person behind the curtain saw Pei Yan speaking out, and his tone softened a bit.

"This slanderous article is indeed unpalatable to the ears. It can deceive some people who are struggling, but it cannot be deceived by the world. Now that the emperor is older and has no involvement in government affairs, Xu Jingye is just doing this. As long as the Queen of Heaven allows His Majesty Ruizong to take care of the government affairs

, In this way, they will be speechless, and the imperial court will not waste a single soldier, and the rebels will collapse on their own."

"You..." The person behind the curtain seemed shocked when he heard this and stopped talking.
