Wen Tianyu exchanged a few words with Liu Biao without even eating breakfast, so he rushed out of the palace gate with the memorial, got on the carriage that had been prepared, and rushed to the palace.
The palace is not too far from the palace. In just one hour's journey, the carriage arrived in front of the palace gate. Wen Tianyu got off the carriage and ordered the driver to leave. Just as Wen Tianyu was about to enter, he saw Xing Zhi coming from the left.
Another carriage arrived, so they stopped and waited for a while. Soon the carriage also came to a stop in front of the palace gate, and saw Li Dongyang getting out of it.
Wen Tianyu was an acquaintance, and the only people he knew well in the court were a few bachelors and a few deacons and eunuchs, and Ping Shen was relatively close to them.
So he stepped forward to say hello, and Wen Tianyu said with a smile on his face and clasped his hands in his fists: "It turns out to be Grand Scholar Li. Why did Bachelor Li come so early? The other ministers are probably still halfway there."
Li Dongyang saw that it was King Xiaoyao, and after having been in contact with him for a long time, he also knew that he did not have any princely airs, so he became polite to him and clasped his fists with him: "Didn't the prince come early too? Alas~ We ministers must do our best to assist the Lord.
How can there be any negligence? It’s just that my body can’t bear such a torment, so I feel a little uncomfortable so early in the morning." Li Dongyang said, shaking his head and laughing.
Wen Tianyu felt a little happy in his heart, thinking that this little old man is quite interesting, but too old-fashioned and long-winded. He thought so in his heart, but his face was startled and he said: "Xueshi Li is getting stronger and stronger, and the emperor still relies on you to assist the crown prince. How can you always do it?"
Take care of yourself, there are a lot of ginseng supplements brought back from outside the palace in my palace, and after the next court, I will send someone to send them to Academician Li to take a good supplement."
Hearing this, Li Dongyang said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Time is not forgiving. People like Your Majesty will have a lot of time after they are young and can assist the Crown Prince well. How can I use my old bones? Your Majesty's kindness, sir."
Thanks."
Then Wentianyu and Li Dongyang chatted for a few words and then entered the palace together. The two walked through the long steps and entered the Jinluan Hall, the court room. Because they came too early, there was no one else in the Jinluan Hall. At this time, there was no one else in the Jinluan Hall.
The two of them walked to the side of the palace and sat down to rest and wait for the arrival of various ministers.
Soon after, ministers from all walks of life came in an endless stream. At this time, Wen Tianyu and Li Dongyang also stood up and said hello to each of them.
"The Emperor has arrived." When the ministers who were talking heard the eunuch shouting, they quickly retreated to both sides and stood in orderly rows.
Emperor Hongzhi, who was wearing a dragon robe and supported by eunuchs, slowly walked up to the dragon chair from the right side of the Jinluan Hall and sat down.
As soon as Emperor Hongzhi was done, he saw all the ministers below jointly asking Tianyu to kneel down and shout in unison: "Long live my emperor...Long live..."
Emperor Hongzhi sat high on the dragon chair, his bright yellow robe embroidered with the pattern of dragons rising from the sea. Under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of his robe, his sleeves were carried high by the wind, and his vicissitudes of life reflected the morning light.
, with a god-like majesty and inherent nobility, the whole person exudes a kingly aura that shocks the world.
Emperor Hongzhi looked down at the civil and military officials below and said with a kind face: "All the ministers are of equal status."
"Long live thanks" everyone said in unison and immediately stood up.
The officials in the court were all standing in front and back according to their status, with civil and military affairs separated on the left and right. Only the princes could stand at the front. Wen Tianyu and several other princes were here, and then there were several academicians and several ministers.
Behind are officials of the third and fourth grades.
At this time, the eunuch in charge shouted in a case-like manner: "If you have a foundation, you will submit a memorial, but if you don't have a foundation, you will retreat."
"Your Majesty Jiao Fang has a plan to report." He saw an official walking out from behind. Wen Tianyu turned around and saw that it was Jiao Fang, the Minister of History, and thought to himself: "Finally, someone has taken the lead, otherwise I would have to start it myself."
As soon as Emperor Hongzhi heard that someone was writing a copy, he quickly lowered his head and looked down. When he saw it was Jiao Fang, the Minister of History, he asked him: "Oh, Jiao Aiqing has a copy to write? Then please present the memorial."
Jiao Fang heard Emperor Hongzhi's words and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if I don't have a memorial, I will be the memorial myself."
Emperor Hongzhi was slightly startled when he heard this. There had been cases like this of not writing memorials before, but no minister had done this in a long time.
The other ministers, on the other hand, bowed their heads and talked to each other. Some were watching the fun, some were worried, and each had their own thoughts.
Hongzhi also became interested for a moment and asked with a smile: "Come and listen to the music, dear. If you can't play it well, I will punish you for disrespect."
Jiao Fang secretly thought in her heart that she was the first to be beaten. This sentence was indeed correct. She was now harmed by Prince Ning. He was also an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years. He only pondered for a while and then said in panic: "Because the old minister said
The memorial concerns an important member of the imperial court, so I would like to ask the emperor to pardon my innocence first, and I am here to memorialize."
At this time, the ministers in the palace couldn't help but be startled when they heard Jiao Fang's words. Impeaching an important member of the court? That's okay, but I don't know who he will impeach next? He doesn't seem to have any grievances with him, as long as he doesn't impeach himself.
What? Someone wants to impeach an important member of the DPRK. You heard me right, it is our Minister Jiao who wants to impeach someone else.
