Early the next morning, the attendant came to report: "Your Majesty, someone is waiting to see you."
Guo Ning swallowed a big mouthful of porridge and wiped his mouth. He asked: "Who is it?"
This servant can serve in front of the emperor, so he is naturally smart. In the past, he could get things done by whatever Guo Ning said casually. When introducing the situation to Guo Ning, he would also explain it clearly in advance without Guo Ning asking.
Who is coming?
But at this moment, Guo Ning opened his mouth to ask, and the attendant hesitated. He thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know where to start. There are dozens of people waiting outside."
"Dozens of people?"
Guo Ning couldn't help but chuckle a few times, turned slightly sideways, and said to Lu Han: "Don't you want to drink porridge? Drink it while it's hot."
"The fire in the house is very bright, so I'm not in a hurry. Jing'er woke up after a while, and I just happened to be with him."
"Then I'll go out and meet the guests first."
Separated by several high walls is the main entrance of the palace.
Guo Ning is not a nobleman who lives in the ninth level. His style of being an emperor is probably influenced by Yelu Chucai, a Khitan. He is very similar to the Emperor of Liao who traveled around to meet with people according to the four seasons. Where is he stationed?
Subordinates would be summoned from time to time, and there would always be cars or horses parked in the large open space in front of the palace gate.
Many of the emperor's old subordinates and old friends could ask to see the emperor at any time, so you would often see an old soldier with a broken leg waiting at the door together with the first and second-rank officials of the imperial court.
Of course, after all, the Zhou Dynasty was not a grassroots team, and the system was gradually improving. Starting from this year, the emperor's old friends did not have to line up at the palace gate to request an audience. They could just submit their applications directly to the Attendant Bureau, and there would be a dedicated person responsible for arranging their and the emperor's itinerary.
Therefore, those waiting at the entrance of the palace were all serious and well-positioned court officials. The ministers who were qualified to see the emperor entered the palace. The servants and subordinates who stayed outside were holding their heads high, thinking not to embarrass their master.
But at this moment, there were no cars or any arrogant people in the open space. Only dozens of people with earth-colored faces were seen, kneeling and motionless.
Among these people, the ones Li Yun came out to drag out yesterday were Hu Zhonggui, Wang Kou'er and a few others, as well as dozens of others. Li Yun really didn't care about them. He didn't know what they did to make him feel guilty.
Like this.
Li Yun himself was also in the queue. At first, everyone was waiting in front of the door, and he waited too. After a while, a group of people on the left and right finally felt guilty and knelt down one after another. This incident had nothing to do with Li Yun. He was being raped.
He was involved; it had only been one day since he took over the investigation, and it was not his responsibility that the matter had caused such a big fuss. It was the result of the emperor's sudden whim. So after Li Yun thought about it, he knelt down with everyone, with an expression on his face.
Others are even more miserable.
In the opinion of the officials present, it was naturally because he, as the person in charge of the Left and Right Department, got involved in the chaos for no reason. Some people who were well-informed knew the deeper reason, and they only thought that he was in trouble with the Recording Department.
A certain little person's plan forced him to send a young lady to his room, which aroused his young man's enthusiasm.
Things that followed one after another involved his brother Li Ting's old subordinates, so he worked hard and followed the clues all the way. As a result, before he could find a serious Ziwu Mao Chou, the emperor returned directly to Tianjin Mansion and ordered
All parties clean up their own homes.
The Left and Right Division was an important official office around the emperor, and the doctors in the Left and Right Division had more supervisory responsibilities. However, Li Yun had always focused on the Southern Dynasties and rarely interfered in his own affairs. As expected, nothing was accomplished during this trip. Things progressed
It all depends on the emperor’s own prestige.
The failure to find out in time those responsible for the slow transfer of military affairs and the slow transfer of goods is already suspected of being dead; maybe the emperor will blame Li Yun for acting without authorization, so as to alert the enemy?
This is a bit bad. No wonder Li Langzhong, who always had a cheerful face, now has an unlucky look on his face, as if he will be severely punished after seeing the emperor.
Everyone present said that they were the main culprits that caused Li Yun to be dejected at this moment. Several of them had some friendship with Li Yun and had drank wine together. These people immediately winked at each other.
As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, not to mention the great Zhou Dynasty, which had many warriors. Some of these officials with military backgrounds were powerful and some were rich. It was inevitable that they would go out of their way in their daily lives, but they did not cause big troubles.
It was just a show of superiority from above. It was because of this connivance that they became so confused that they were actually instigated by others to affect the transportation of military supplies.
After hearing that the emperor had received a secret report, he galloped back with only fifty cavalry. It can be seen that they were extremely angry at this situation of privately disrupting military affairs. These people were all frightened out of their wits.
From last night to now, they have been busy putting out fires and fixing leaks everywhere, as if they were crazy. Some people promised benefits to all parties and gave up most of their accumulated belongings; others forced their sick bodies to run around all night, and now their faces were sallow and their eyes were dark.
Yes, the cheekbones are protruding.
What's more, the emperor promised a day's grace for everyone to clean up the mess, but he didn't promise not to pursue it anymore. Who knows, the emperor is lenient, but his eyes are not full of sand. If there is a severe punishment later, everyone will have to suffer.
Wait... to what extent will the guilt carried by this time go, what kind of suffering will my family have to endure, and will they lose their heads? In the middle of winter, everyone was frightened and entangled, with cold sweat breaking out all over their bodies, and their whole bodies felt like they were in an ice cave.
However, Li Yun's responsibility is much lighter than that of others. Relying on our friendship with Li Yun through drinking and having fun, we may have to beg him to be gentle today.
At that moment, someone kept kneeling and came closer, patted his chest and whispered: "Mr. Li, I can't blame you for these things. We dare to take responsibility and will never bother you. If your majesty asks, you must have merit and demerit!"
These words seemed like a joke, but Li Yun's face was full of anger, and he opened his mouth to curse: "Trouble? Are you embarrassed to try to tangle with me? All the inexplicable and disgusting things have gotten me... Don't mess with me! Be honest.
Kneel down! It's not your place to get involved in dealing with the Southern Dynasties! A bunch of idiots! They are just causing trouble for me!"
Everyone was a respectable person in the local area. After being scolded in front of everyone, they felt that they couldn't help it, so they quickly walked away and dispersed.
They are all senior soldiers in the army, and all of them have made great achievements in life and death. Two of them were still waving flags and shouting from the outside when they were wearing yellow robes in Chenqiao Post. Therefore, even the emperor had to show some affection.
With such qualifications, one's vision and knowledge will not be bad. After being scolded a few times, the more flexible person in the group remembered something.
Li Yun was the person who single-handedly led the business dealings with the Southern Dynasties. He had countless friends and business partners in the Southern Dynasties, and they were inextricably linked to each other. As long as the trade between Zhou Dynasty and Song Dynasty continued, Li Yun himself and his
The left and right companies will continue to gain benefits from it and expand their own authority.
This group of his and her family echoed the thoughts of some senior officials in the south, intending to draw the emperor's attention away from the north and instead send troops to the south... This was tantamount to destroying Li Yun's job. How could he have any good reputation?
Thinking of this, everyone felt awe-inspiring. Then they thought that the emperor's sudden return was due to a secret report from others. Previously, everyone suspected that this secret report was either sent by Xu Jin of the Recording Department, or was written by Zhang Lin, the governor of Tianjin. Now it seems that Bao Bao
Maybe it was Li Yun who did it!
Although this kid is young, he is not easy to get along with. His face is full of frustration at the moment, and maybe he is complaining in his heart that he failed to seize the opportunity to catch everyone in one go!
With such thoughts in mind, everyone gradually looked at Li Yun with unkind eyes.
When the atmosphere in the venue was tense, as soon as the corner door of the palace opened, a servant came out, opened his mouth, and waved: "Mr. Li, Your Majesty wants to see you."
