The Censor of Xiuyi issued imperial edicts to the imperial court door to door.

If there is anyone like Ju Xinsi who speaks arrogant words and refuses to obey orders, he will be killed directly, his body will be placed on the carriage, and then he will be taken back to the prince for entrustment.

The more corpses on the carriage, the faster the order will be received from behind.

Whether it was out of fear of the Censor of Xiuyi or Qi Ming secretly delivering the news, this was good news to Jiang Chang and others.

On this day, everyone chose to stay behind closed doors.

It is said that the Censor Xiuyi is not only the emperor's sword, but also the emperor's eyes and ears.

They did not dare to gather together and openly discuss corruption and bribery as before, and they still spoke nonsense at the feet of the emperor.

Everyone is trembling and worried whether their secret has been known.

They were either tossing and turning in bed, or pacing back and forth under the moonlight.

In just one day, the entire capital city was thrown into a state of panic by the news that the prince was going to court.

The morning court of the Wu Dynasty was Mao hour, and officials who lived far away from the palace had to get up and wash themselves at midnight. When serving as an official in the court, the first thing to do was to ensure their own cleanliness.

It's just that the black and blue marks under my eyes cannot be washed away no matter what.

Many officials got dressed and rode in sedans to the outside of the palace gate. You can ride in sedans outside the palace, but you can only walk when you enter the palace.

It's just that today, the officials are not as talkative as before.

Many people only communicated with each other by looking at each other, then lowered their heads and said nothing, waiting for the palace door to open.

The tower above the Meridian Gate is called the "Five Phoenixes". There are bells and drums in it, which are managed by the eunuchs of the Bell and Drum Division, one of the four divisions of the inner court. When it is time to go to court, the Bell and Drum Division will beat the drums and ring the bells.

, and then open the palace door.

"The Yin hour has arrived, open the palace gate."

With a loud announcement, the palace door slowly opened.

There are three gates in the Meridian Gate, the main gate is in the middle, and there is a royal road. It will not be opened unless the emperor comes in person. And these officials can only go through the left and right gates.

Every official took out their badges and had them checked one by one by the palace guards, even the current Prime Minister Liu Zhongqing was no exception.

After that, under the leadership of the eunuch, they walked from the palace gate to Changle Palace where the court meeting was held and waited outside.

All officials are arranged according to rank.

The Prime Minister Liu Zhongqing was under one person and above ten thousand people, standing at the head of hundreds of officials.

After Liu Zhongqing, there are Lian Zhan, Qi Ming and other officials from the Nine Qing Dynasty. Only the chief minister, Zong Zhengsi, has died, and now there are only seven of them left.

After that, there are officials from various ministries under Jiuqing, arranged according to rank.

Many of these officials had just taken office not long ago, so they were not direct descendants of Liu Zhongqing.

However, Liu Zhongqing still looked calm and confident, with a stern look in his eyes.

Moreover, his momentum is completely different from Liu Zhongqing's, and his coercion is even more powerful.

"My dear friends, please wait a moment." The eunuch of the internal affairs saluted respectfully.

At this time, the prince had arrived at the royal gate.

The bell and drum division began to play music, and the embroidered censors held five umbrella covers and four fans, climbed up the Danqi from the east and west sides, and stood on the left and right of the throne.

There are two people inside, one holding the umbrella cover and standing on the seat, the other holding the "weapons" and two fans, standing in the middle behind the seat.

As soon as the whip was blown, all the officials filed in.

Liu Zhongqing, who was walking in front, was very dissatisfied and deliberately attacked Lian Zhan.

"Does General Lian think it is appropriate for the Prince of the Supervisory State to perform the courtesy of the Emperor?"

"The prince has the power to supervise the country, so meeting him is like meeting his emperor. What's wrong with that?" Lian Zhan responded to Liu Zhongqing's words lightly, but ignored his secret tone.

"General Lian is sincere, but I don't know if this prince will be the second Emperor Wu."

Liu Zhongqing's words have a very provocative meaning.

Back then, Lian Zhan was stripped of his military power because of his outstanding achievements, but now he comes to help the prince seize power.

If Li Yunxing ascends the throne in the future, Lian Zhan may not be able to escape death.

"Then Mr. Liu thinks that the imperial edict issued by Emperor Wu was wrong? Then Mr. Liu can go and ask His Majesty for advice and ask His Majesty to draft a new edict?"

Lian Zhan counterattacked calmly.

Liu Zhongqing was choked to the point of speechlessness. He snorted angrily and stopped talking.

Although Lian Zhan had a lot of complaints about Emperor Wu's affairs back then, after returning to the court, even though he became the neglected Grand Sima, his salary and salary were never deducted even half a cent.

Especially after learning about the existence of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, Lian Zhan became even more certain that Emperor Wu actually did this to keep a glimmer of hope for the prince.

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

However, Lian Zhan was eliminated but did not collude with Liu Zhongqing.

This proved his loyalty, only loyal to Emperor Wu and only loyal to the imperial court.

Therefore, over the years, Lian Zhan had no military power, but secretly cultivated an elite army headed by Zhan Jun. Emperor Wu was not ignorant of this.

But even if you know about it, you still acquiesce to his actions, which is a kind of tacit understanding.

I believe that Lian Zhan will one day be used by the Li family's imperial power again, there is a tacit understanding.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives, all the officials bow down and salute!"

Eunuch Jinxi's sharp voice echoed throughout the Changle Palace, and all the officials kowtowed in unison.

"Prince, a thousand years old! A thousand years old! A thousand years old!"

Li Yunxing wore a black satin robe with gold piping and embroidered with the appearance of a four-clawed python robe. The golden python opened its teeth and claws, as if it wanted to choose people to devour, majestic and terrifying.

Just like Li Yunxing, although he has not yet transformed into a dragon, he already has the image of a king and looks down upon the power of the world.

Eunuch Jinxi sang "Nai" all the way until Li Yunxing appeared in front of the officials.

He stepped onto the jade steps, turned around and threw away his robe, his flowing movements adding a bit of domineering air.

"No gift for all my dear friends!"

Li Yunxing's voice was deep and majestic in the empty hall.

Only then did all the officials dare to stand up straight and face their new monarch, Prince Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing's voice was deep and majestic in the empty hall.

Only then did all the officials dare to stand up straight and face their new monarch, Prince Li Yunxing.

Above the main hall is a dragon chair dedicated to the emperor. Both the armrests and the carved backrest are made of pure gold.

It was carefully polished by several craftsmen and inlaid with gold and gemstones, making it look precious and magnificent.

Li Yunxing knew that now was not the time. There were so many pairs of eyes staring at him under the hall. Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel how hot those eyes were and how much those people wanted him to die.

Following Li Yunxing's movements, they even tightened their hands holding the jade plaque unconsciously. The beads of sweat in their hands became more and more dense. Their hearts were agitated and extremely nervous.

As long as Li Yunxing sits down, or even just touches the throne, they can directly kill the prince on the spot for conspiracy to usurp the throne.

However, Li Yunxing only looked at the dragon chair but did not approach it.
