Words that are like a fantasy came from the mouth of Zhang Ergong, the first Qingpao Qingpao official in the history of the Ming Dynasty who was a craftsman.

Yuan Sutai, who was wearing a first-grade crane red robe, felt that this would be just around the corner.

Sometimes Yuan Sutai would envy Zhang Ergong and other craftsmen like them. They did not need to know about the disputes in the court, and they did not need to care about who was missing in the court today and who was added tomorrow.

Although I am not an official of the Six Divisions, Five Temples and Three Dharma Divisions, I am now the third-rank supervisor of Shanglinyuan, and since I became the first-rank young master, I have never received several invitations from the court.

Supervisor Shanglinyuan wanted to stay out of the matter, but how could he really sit back and watch the changes in the court.

Yesterday, His Majesty just gave an oral instruction to Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites, and that night officials from the DPRK and the Central Government came to pay their respects and inquire.

The Ministry of Rites has entered the Wenyuan Pavilion. Will he, a young master from the first rank, make further progress?

In addition to inquiries, a selection of exquisite local specialties will also be delivered to you.

Yuan Sutai turned them away as usual, and all the so-called specialties were returned.

I just want to have a good life farming.

Yuan Sutai looked at Zhang Ergong, whose hands were covered with calluses, and couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

"Jianzheng, we have arrived at Huagai Hall."

The deputy superintendent of Shanglinyuan Supervisor was following Yuan Sutai and reminded him in a low voice.

It's just that the deputy superintendent's eyes never looked towards the main hall, but towards the front of the officials.

Yuan Sutai looked over and saw that Yu Xin and Wang Jun had stopped and were looking back at him.

The two ministers stopped, and the officials behind them did not dare to move forward and stopped one after another.

Yuan Sutai felt a little helpless, but he could only pick up his steps and reach the front.

Yu Xin and Wang Jun both handed over their hands at the same time: "Master Yuan is well."

"Yu Butang, Wang Butang." Yuan Sutai responded with a steady hand, raising his head and looking at the Huagai Hall in front of him: "I think His Majesty and the Crown Prince will be arriving soon, so I'd better enter the palace earlier."

Yu Xin glanced sideways at Wang Jun.

Wang Jun's face was full of smiles: "If Master Yuan doesn't come, they won't dare to enter the palace. Please ask Master Yuan to go first."

Wang Jun pointed to the officials around him and then stepped aside to make way.

With a subtle smile on his face, Yuan Sutai just glanced at Wang Jun and Yu Xin, who was silent at the side. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhang Ergong and others who were watching from behind.

"Master Craftsman, please enter the palace with me."

Zhang Ergong seldom went to court, and spent almost all his time traveling back and forth between the Taiping Mansion Mine, Yingtian City, and the cement road leading to Hangzhou Mansion.

What are the rules in the court? For Zhang Ergong, the emperor's rules are the biggest.

Seeing Yuan Sutai waving to him, Zhang Ergong smiled, as if he didn't notice the slightly changed expressions of the two ministers standing next to Yuan Shaoshi.

Zhang Ergong bowed and trotted up to Yuan Sutai: "The supervisor invites you first."

With a smile on his face, Yuan Sutai stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Ergong's wrist: "We are all working for His Majesty. There is no order of precedence. We go together and go together."

Zhang Ergong added a laugh.

After the two people, a group of Shanglinyuan supervisory officials and craftsmen officers followed closely behind.

When everyone passed by Yu Xin and Wang Jun and entered the Huagai Hall, they couldn't help but look at each other deeply.

Yu Xin looked at the officials in front of the palace and said in a deep voice: "Let's all enter the palace."

The two of them picked up their feet.

Wang Jun folded his hands and whispered: "He has made up his mind not to participate in court affairs."

"Young Master, from the third rank of Shanglinyuan Supervisor, he has the confidence not to participate."

Yu Xin also responded in a low voice, but his eyes were a little cold.

The two of them couldn't help sighing, and looked at the other end of the crowd. It was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Ru, who led the same few officials from the Ministry of War to the gate of Huagai Hall.

He seemed to feel the gazes of Yu Xin and Wang Jun.

Just before entering the Huagai Hall, Ru Yu quietly turned her head to look at the two of them, her face expressionless, her eyes as calm as a mountain stream.

Looking at the Minister of War entering the Huagai Hall.

Wang Jun narrowed his eyes: "The Ministry of War has not been in action for several years. This time, in accordance with His Majesty's decree, the Governor's Mansion has been restored, and military personnel have been appointed to Wuying Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion. I am afraid that the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of War will be reduced." What time is it?"

Yu Xin put his hands in his sleeves, revealing only the wat board used when going to court, and said softly: "Let's wait for today's court meeting to see how your majesty arranges the current court."

When everyone entered the Huagai Hall, they saw Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, and Gao Yangzhi standing in front of the throne in the hall.

Yuan Sutai stepped forward with his hands raised: "Ren Ge Lao, Xie Ge Lao, Gao Ge Lao."

Zhang Ergong followed Yuan Sutai into the palace. Seeing Yuan Jianzheng's demeanor, he followed behind and learned to greet Ren Hengtai and the others.

With a smile on his face, Ren Hengtai raised his head and stood with his hands down. Xie Jin waved his sleeves and said, "Young master is very polite. I am just here to deal with state affairs memorials in Wenyuan Pavilion. Young master has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He has done a lot of work." This is something that satisfies the people of the world. Now in this court, no one can say thank you to the young master. Zhang Jiangguan has repeatedly added artifacts to the court, so Zhang Jiangguan is also the artifact of my court."

As he spoke, Xie Jin glanced at Ren Hengtai, who was half a body taller than him.

Ren Hengtai took over the words softly: "Today's court meeting is not as good as the big court meeting, but we still have to follow the rules. Young Master should be the leader."

After saying that, Ren Hengtai quickly and neatly led Xie Jin and others to give up their positions, and turned around behind Yuan Sutai.

Seeing that he could not refuse, Yuan Sutai could only settle down and stand at the front of the civil service train holding the wat board.

When the civil servants at the back entered the palace one after another, the meritorious military generals in Beijing came in groups with joy and laughter. When they entered the palace, these people held their heads high and looked sideways at the few civil servants left. , although he said nothing, the look in his eyes was naked and undisguised.

At the forefront of the meritorious generals is Xu Yungong (Xu Huizu, whose name has never been changed to this day), the direct eldest son of the Prince of Zhongshan and the current Duke of Wei.

Accompanying Xu Yungong were Chang Sen, Tang Li and others. Later, there were military generals who had contributed to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunshun, He Rong, the Bo of Dongguan, and Sang Jing, the Huixian Bo.

Together, the number of people alone firmly overwhelmed the civil servants.

The emperor has not yet arrived, and neither the prince nor the emperor's grandson has arrived.

In the main hall, there were only a few servants waiting in the corner to maintain the majesty of the royal family.

Today there is no need for supervisory censors to correct mistakes. After the officials arrived, they found their positions and stood still. Everyone was silently waiting for the arrival of the monarch.

Because the begging skeletons of hundreds of Beijing officials have been granted permission, the train of civil servants in the court now seems a little tighter.

Wearing a green robe, Wang Xinling, the governor of the General Affairs Department, was holding a wat board and looking down at the uppers of his boots, waiting to see if he should brush them when he went home from work today.

In front of his eyes, a white meat bun appeared.

Looking up, it was Senior Xiaobai's smiling face.

"Today's court meeting will definitely be long. Let's take a rest first. You don't have to go back to the Yamen until the next court meeting. Come with me to Nancheng and take you to a place where the craftsmanship is good for a drink."

Wang Xinling raised his head nervously and looked around, fearing that others would notice their small movements.

Bai Yuxiu seemed to have become accustomed to it. She smiled lightly and put the meat bun into Wang Xinling's hand, then turned around again.

Wang Xinling quickly stuffed the meat buns into his sleeves and was about to speak.

On the steps in front, Sun Gou'er, the general manager of the twenty-four yamen of the inner palace, appeared in the sight of the officials with a slight cough.

"Your Majesty has a will."

When the officials heard this, they immediately knelt down and worshiped.

Sun Gou'er continued: "I am ill. The discussion in the court today will be carried out by the crown prince. He will be given a seat in front of the emperor. The prince can decide all the affairs of the court."

As Sun Gou'er finished conveying the emperor's oral instructions, a young chamberlain moved a chair and placed it directly in front of the royal table on the steps. However, this did not stop. On the left side of the chair, there was another soft-sided round stool.

Place it well.

Then, as the officials stood up, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi, father and son, stepped onto the stage in full view of everyone.

"I will see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"See His Highness Taisun."

The civil and military officials who had just stood up once again knelt down on the ground holding the Wat board.

Zhu Biao stepped forward lightly, sat down on the chair, gently turned the ring on his hand, and looked calmly at the court in front of him: "Everyone, please get up."

The prince's voice was hollow and powerful, echoing in the hall.

The officials pulled up their robes and stood up with loud noises.

At this point, Zhu Yunxi came forward and sat down on the round stool.

Zhu Biao looked down at the court, calmed for a while, and then let out a chuckle: "Actually, to tell you, Your Majesty is not well today. He just felt that there was nothing important in the court, so he called me to discuss it with you.

Once we discuss those state affairs, we can also ask the grandson to observe and learn from the sidelines for the future."

In the general train, there were several low laughters that were clearly forced to hold back.

The civil servants looked tense.

There are currently nine out of ten officials in the imperial court. Yesterday the emperor even issued five imperial edicts in a row. Can this be said to mean that there are no major events in the imperial court?

However, the more such an attitude the palace showed, the more nervous the civil servants who were still standing in the Huagai Hall became more and more nervous.

No one who can stay now wants to follow in the footsteps of those idiots.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhu Biao raised his voice and said, "There is one more thing that I want to talk to you about right now."
