Ji Xiang stood next to the other two pavilion elders. He was still a little nervous at this time. It was his first time to attend court. How could he act like he often went to court? Waiting online.
All the officials in front of me are wearing great national majesty, they are wearing red clothes and jade belts, they are wearing patchwork, and they are accompanied by mythical beasts!
Golden pheasants, peacocks, mandarin ducks and white pheasants, unicorns, tigers and leopards...it's like a zoo.
However, these mythical beasts are all derived from the national prestige, and in terms of level, they are one level lower than the pure Ming national prestige that Song Wuji and the others stole.
Ji Xiang listened to Emperor Wanli retelling the situation last night, but temporarily concealed the part about Zhu Changluo's collusion with Lord Huo, and instead addressed him as "someone".
The ministers were also very confused.
Emperor Wanli said: "I will talk about who this person is at the end."
At the same time, when he said this, he also glanced at the ministers in front of him. After all, the boss had gone away this time, and the war over the country had come to an end. These civil servants should be unable to say a word.
Since there is no difference between listening to government affairs at the imperial gate and chatting at the door, although the number of people is not too large, it is not realistic to see the expressions on everyone's face clearly. Emperor Wanli mainly looked to see if anyone lowered his head, and to see if there were any among these ministers.
There are no accomplices of Mr. Zhu.
It's like taking roll call in class, whoever bows his or her head answers.
However, none of the ministers present had colluded with Mr. Zhu, so they had no idea what the emperor was going to say. At least on the surface, everything seemed normal. Emperor Wanli then lowered his gaze and continued the storytelling session.
What happened last night was narrated by Emperor Wanli. Although many details were unclear, the whole context was still very clear. The sinister twists and turns made the civil and military officials excited...
..Bah, you are screaming for your life.
The majestic Forbidden City, the largest forbidden place in the world for gods and ghosts, was actually set on fire from the inside last night! This is not bad!
Among the hundreds of officials, there was a North Korean official from the Ministry of Rites area. Liu Mengyin, a North Korean official who had been frightened outside the city all night, finally waited until dawn at five o'clock, walked out of the inn, and was kicked out by the strange boss. He had just returned to the Imperial Palace.
Cheng, was immediately bumped into by people from the Ministry of Rites, and was dragged half-dead to the court. Unexpectedly, when he heard the story told by Emperor Wanli, he immediately became energetic and listened attentively. The material in his mind was +1!
In the peaceful Ming Dynasty, gods fight every day.
And did your Ming emperor tell stories about gods and monsters as a side job? Have you ever thought about publishing a book? We in North Korea banned such books from being circulated in the court. Unexpectedly, the Ming Emperor was the first lover of stories about gods and monsters.
"I almost died last night...Thanks to the sacrifices sent by Wudang Mountain to Longde Hall, I survived and escaped with my life."
"Two years ago, Yuan Keli, the censor, said that the fire at Jingdemen that was struck by lightning was the result of God's wrath caused by my lack of virtue and neglect of government affairs! This is nonsense. Look at what the Forbidden City looks like now. I demoted him at that time
, does it make sense!”
"Did the fire at that time really be caused by a lightning strike? Someone wanted to kill me and deliberately lit the fire as a test! Last year, I went to the Yangxin Hall to escape the fire in the Qianqing Kunning Second Palace.
, who among you wrote a letter saying that I have offended God..."
"I went to build a temple...the people who built this temple almost sent me away!"
"Then Yuan Keli likes to read books. I will call him back tomorrow and ask him to stand in front of my burned house and take a closer look to see if there is an evil god at work or if I really don't practice virtue!"
Emperor Wanli said, and made a special point, saying that the fire safety hazards in the Forbidden City are very serious. You guys know how to talk every day, and running the country with talk is not as good as staying in my house!
Now that Lord Huo is not necessarily dead, she is still a wanted fugitive from the Ming Dynasty. Although her rotten flesh has been seen, we have to wait for Lao Zhang to come before we can judge whether she is alive or dead.
The ministers used to criticize the emperor all the time, but today they were criticized by the emperor and could not retaliate. This made Emperor Wanli feel very good. He couldn't help but cursed a few more times and vented all the grievances he had spent in the past nine years.
The North Korean meeting turned into a key political scene.
When Emperor Wanli had finished venting his anger, he appropriately brought the topic back. Seeing that all the ministers were silent, he was extremely happy.
"Last night, Luo Sigong, the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi Town, and Tian Yi, the eunuch of Li Bingbi, had meritorious service in escorting him. Together with Zhuo Deyuan and Shi Xiang, the two small flag officers of Nanzhen Fusi, they all had merits in escorting them.
Reward, other deceased persons must be compensated."
Emperor Wanli talked about the rewards. Tian Yi was promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial seal, and all the Fusi people of Nanzhen who were alive last night were promoted to two levels. Luo Sigong, the Fusi of Nanzhen, fought bravely and fearlessly against the evil god, and was specially promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Luo Sigong, who was in the Jinyi Guards queue, was stunned by this pie that fell from the sky!
The commander of the Jinyiwei is responsible for the two towns of Fusi in the north and the south. After the previous commander was dismissed and evaporated, the position of the commander has been vacant! This is the emperor's personal guard, the emperor's number one minion!
Although it seems that Dongchang is more powerful now, the previous commander Liu and the previous Dongchang factory boss Zhang were kicked out together, so now Tian Yi is temporarily acting as Dongchang factory boss. This old man
Basically, no changes have been made to Dongchang, so there has been no major movement in Dongchang in the past two years. As a senior eunuch, this old eunuch is relatively easy to talk to and not greedy for power.
He is over sixty years old, has no godson, and has no influence. He is still very rare in the Forbidden City. This is why Emperor Wanli prefers the old eunuch Tian Yi - everyone is just dried salted fish, so don't dream
, I can’t do it either.
Luo Sigong's excitement was hard to express. After all, after becoming a commander, he would not have to suffer from Zheng Guotai's arrogance anymore. As expected, the emperor's brother-in-law looked ashen at this time, because he was in charge of the Jinyiwei, and now the Jinyiwei had
The official commander, the leader of other departments, now only has an honorary title.
After the reward was confirmed and no one objected, Luo Sigong came forward and thanked the leader for the promotion. From now on, I will be your number one lackey. It is not easy to be the number one lackey of the Ming Dynasty at the age of thirty!
"When the time comes, you go to Beizhenfu and take over the position of commander."
"And... I won't say any more. Apart from them, Wudang Mountain Princess Xiang is more important in saving people! I want to give him a title and an official position, but he has no title, so I can't
It's too high, but not too low. What I want is to confer the title of Imperial College Secretary, starting from the fourth rank. What do you think?"
The officials were whispering to each other below, and Emperor Wanli said: "Mr. Zhao Ge, please tell me."
The elders of the Three Pavilions were all at loggerheads with the emperor. Zhao Shoufu stood up and said: "Wudang Taoist Ji Xiang has made a contribution to the rescue. He should be rewarded according to his merits."
Emperor Wanli ordered two other pavilion elders, and everyone expressed their attitude together.
However, some of the officials below were unhappy and said on the spot, "I have my own message!"
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"I know what you are going to say, Emperor Shizong and the demon Tao Zhongwen, right?"
"Yes, but..."
"But what but, I have a good relationship with Master Zhang. Before I appointed Master Zhang as an official, you jumped out to speak... By the way, who are you?"
Emperor Wanli stared and realized that he had not been in court for a long time and did not recognize the official in front of him at all.
