Chapter 68 The Book of Ten Thousand Words

"Where is Official Huangmen?" Emperor Chu shouted softly, his face as dark as water.

"Why don't you hurry up and announce Cheng Lin to the palace?" Yu Huaien shouted to the palace official.

The Imperial City is a place of supreme respect. If it is true as Jia Naiming said, there are so many students making trouble outside the Imperial City, and as the chief internal affairs officer, Yu Huaien cannot escape their involvement.

"Cheng Lin, the minister of Xuanhuangmen, comes to the palace!" the head official of the palace shouted loudly.

All the ministers could hear clearly. This time, the voice of the head official trembled slightly.

Following the shouts of the palace chief, a middle-aged eunuch trotted all the way into the palace outside the Jinluan Palace.

This middle-aged eunuch is Cheng Lin, the Huangmen servant.

The position of Huangmen Minister is held by internal ministers. All internal ministers, except Yu Huai'en, who serves the Emperor of Chu, including Chen San, do not stand on duty on weekdays. They can only attend court meetings if they are ordered to do so.

After entering the palace, Cheng Lin quickly walked a few steps, prostrated herself on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Slave Cheng Lin, long live the Lord!"

"Cheng Lin, are there any students from the Imperial Academy gathering outside the imperial city?" Emperor Chu said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Lord Long Live, there are indeed more than a hundred Imperial College students gathered outside the imperial city." Cheng Lin's forehead began to sweat.

"When did the gathering begin?" Emperor Chu asked.

"Long live the Lord, these students arrived outside the imperial city half an hour before the morning dynasty started." Cheng Lin replied.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Chu asked.

"Reporting to Lord Long Live, these students are here for the heir of the Yang family." The beads of sweat on Cheng Lin's forehead became bigger and denser.

"Do you have any advice?" Emperor Chu asked.

"Reporting to Lord Long Live, yes." Cheng Lin said.

"Send it up." Emperor Chu said.

"Replying to Lord Long Live, the remonstrance is not on my servant." The sweat on Cheng Lin's forehead had already flowed to her face.

"Huh?" Emperor Chu frowned.

"How dare you neglect your duties, you brave bitch slave?!" Yu Huaien shouted.

"Replying to Lord Long Live, Chief Manager, it's not because I was negligent, but it's because the remonstrance was a bit heavy and I couldn't carry it." Cheng Lin kowtowed.

At this moment, all the ministers were stunned.

The remonstrance was so heavy that Cheng Lin couldn't carry it alone?

"Why don't you order someone to bring it up?" Yu Huaien was also slightly stunned for a moment, and then shouted.

Cheng Lin quickly kowtowed to Emperor Chu again, stood up, walked back to the entrance of the palace, turned around, and left the palace, wiping the sweat on her face.

After a while, Cheng Lin walked into the palace again with two tall eunuchs.

Everyone looked at it and were all surprised.

The two tall eunuchs actually carried a thick volume of remonstrances in their hands. Judging from the way they struggled, the volume of remonstrances probably weighed more than a hundred kilograms.

Seeing two eunuchs carrying remonstrances, the ministers who were kneeling on the ground moved to both sides to make way for a passage in the center of the Jinluan Hall.

When Cheng Lin came forward with two eunuchs carrying the remonstrance, Emperor Chu frowned.

According to convention, if the courtiers have a memorial, they should be presented by the head of the palace to the Dragon Case and handed over to the Emperor of Chu for inspection.

However, this thick volume cannot be opened not to mention the imperial review and the Long Case.

Yu Huaien also frowned, then walked gently to Emperor Chu and whispered something in a low voice.

"All my dear friends, please get back on your feet." Emperor Chu said.

When the ministers who were kneeling on the ground stood up, Yu Huaien looked at Cheng Lin and said, "Open the remonstrance on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lin, together with the two eunuchs, unfolded the remonstrance along the central passage of the Jinluan Palace.

After unfolding it, the ministers discovered that this volume of remonstrance was actually several feet long.

Such a long remonstrance was submitted directly to the emperor. It is expected that the students spent a lot of time just on the continuation.

When Cheng Lin and the two eunuchs unfolded this giant book of remonstrances, many ministers in the palace couldn't help but glance at it, secretly admiring it in their hearts.

Not to mention the content of this letter of remonstrance, the calligraphy is very good, with iron strokes and silver hooks, showing great skill.

"Which beloved minister is here to read it?" After the whole book of remonstrance was unfolded, Emperor Chu glanced at the ministers and asked.

Upon hearing this, all the ministers unanimously withdrew their furtive glances, lowered their heads, and looked at their noses and hearts, not daring to pick up the trouble.

Such a large volume of remonstrances takes a lot of effort to read. God knows what these students wrote in it.

Among the scholars of Dachu, there is always a lot of stupid people who dare to pierce the sky. If there are some treacherous words in this book of advice, wouldn't it be bad luck for whoever reads it?

"It seems that this remonstrance can only be read by me personally." Seeing that all the ministers were speechless, the Emperor of Chu said.

Xu Shi heard the sarcasm in Emperor Chu's tone, and many ministers lowered their heads.

"Lao Yu, help me over." Emperor Chu stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I would like to read this remonstrance!" Just when the ministers were feeling uneasy, Xie Mingxuan came out again and bowed.

Seeing that someone finally stood up, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Emperor of Chu were really allowed to step down from the throne today to read this remonstrance and pass it on to the generals, everyone present would inevitably be ridiculed by everyone in the world.

"Then please thank Aiqing for your hard work and give me and all my ministers a thought." Emperor Chu stared at Xie Mingxuan for dozens of seconds, then sat back on the dragon throne and said.

Xie Mingxuan bowed to Emperor Chu again, turned around, walked to the several-foot-long remonstrance book, and began to read it.

The ministers only heard a short paragraph, and their expressions changed.

This letter, or to be precise, this remonstrance, begins with a direct denunciation of Yang Hao for being arrogant and contemptuous of national laws. The words are extremely sharp and severe.

As Xie Mingxuan continued to recite, the expressions of the ministers became more and more exciting.

Although this remonstrance begins with the incident at Wangjiang Tower yesterday, the contents contained in the remonstrance far exceeded the expectations of the ministers, and far exceeded the incident at Wangjiang Tower.

The remonstrance begins with the incident at Wangjiang Tower and unfolds the narrative, covering almost all aspects of Ningyuan's military, politics, learning, agriculture, industry, and commerce. It also carries out almost all of Ningyuan's policy strategies over the years without omitting any omissions.

All-round criticism and criticism.

This large volume of advice contained more than ten thousand words. Xie Mingxuan read it back and forth for more than an hour, but the officials did not feel bored at all. Instead, they listened attentively, relished it, and couldn't stop.

The reason why the ministers are like this is naturally related to the content and style of the remonstrance itself.

This volume of remonstrance not only criticizes Ning Yuan's political strategy, but also targets Yang Hao, the instigator. Yang Hao is mentioned throughout the article, in addition to saying that he is arrogant and arrogant, and also directly denounces him.

He is a child who disturbs the government and a great thief who brings disaster to the country.

In the eyes of the ministers, if Yang Hao himself were here, he would be so ashamed that he would start digging holes in the ground of Jinluan Hall.

Another reason why the ministers listened with rapt attention has something to do with Xie Mingxuan, the reciter.

When it comes to Xie Mingxuan, the censor of Zuodu, he really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

In a hurry, Xie Mingxuan read such a long book of ten thousand words in the Jinluan Hall, but he did not feel any haste at all.

Xie Mingxuan read this huge remonstrance with both cadence and emotion. Sometimes he was impassioned and sometimes he sighed. Sometimes he was angry and sometimes he shouted loudly. It seemed that he had completely inserted himself into the remonstrance.

Not only that, Xie Mingxuan almost made most of the courtiers in the palace change with his voice, appearance, and color, making them sometimes gnash their teeth and sometimes beat their chests and feet.

Not only the ministers were like this, but the face of Emperor Chu, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, was also changing constantly.

In the whole hall, Ning Buque was the only one who was different. He was furious when he heard this. He almost couldn't help but stand up and interrupt Xie Mingxuan several times, but was stopped by Emperor Chu with a very stern look.

"Woohoo!" Finally, with his voice hoarse, Xie Mingxuan finished reading this huge piece of advice.

"Your Majesty, Ning Yuan has harmed the country, and Yang Hao has harmed the country!" Xie Mingxuan, whose voice was completely hoarse as soon as he finished reading the remonstrance, immediately fell to his knees, his face full of tears, his eyes bloodshot, and he screamed loudly.

With this shout, Xie Mingxuan obviously exhausted all his strength, but his voice was already hoarse. Even though he shouted hard, his voice sounded like a broken gong, which sounded very weird.

However, no one in the Jinluan Palace found this scene funny at ordinary times. Instead, they found it extremely shocking.

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for ten thousand deaths, please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to severely punish Yang Hao, to uphold the principles of the government, and to use the anger of the people!" Immediately, a large group of courtiers followed and fell to the ground, all filled with righteous indignation.

Upright and awe-inspiring.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Chu's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he seemed to be very tired.

"My beloved lords, please get back on your feet!" After a while, Emperor Chu sighed deeply and said.

Seeing the group of ministers kneeling on the ground, as if they would not get up if the Emperor of Chu refused to agree, Yu Huaien took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice: "My lords, please stand up!"

Chen San also shouted in a deep voice: "My lords, please stand up!"

The two men drank like this in succession, and the ministers who were lying on the ground looked around secretly, and then stood up one after another.

This situation at this moment was a good opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of the trend. These ministers kneeling on the ground really wanted to compete with the Emperor of Chu.

However, to a certain extent, the courtiers of Da Chu were more afraid of Yu Huaien or Chen San than the Emperor of Chu. This was because the emperor was a person whom everyone could reason with very often. However, Yu

The general manager and Chen San will not reason with you most of the time.

"Lao Yu, help me go down and have a look." After all the ministers stood up, Emperor Chu stood up again.

Yu Huaien helped Emperor Chu down the imperial steps and came to the giant remonstrance.

Emperor Chu walked slowly from the beginning to the end of the volume.

When he reached the end of the volume, Emperor Chu let out another long sigh.

"My dear princes and dear friends, please come and have a look." Emperor Chu said.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, and when they took a look, they were all shocked again.

The end of this huge remonstrance was densely filled with names, which were obviously the signatures of the students of the Imperial Academy. There were many names that were familiar to the courtiers. For example, the name of Shen Mu, the new champion scholar.

Not only that.

In addition to the dense signatures, there is also a dark red fingerprint on each signature.

The courtiers knew at a glance that these dark red finger prints must have been pressed with the blood of the students. They should be bright red when pressed. At this moment, the blood has turned dark red as it cools.

Many of the courtiers present had seen the bloody fingerprints. However, it was the first time for all the courtiers to see so many bloody fingerprints.
