But seeing Yu Shenxing, Zhu Geng and the others walked out of the Huiji Gate.

Yu Shenxing said to Zhu Geng in the middle of the road while walking: "Yesterday, I inspected the Shou Palace for the Son of Heaven and saw that the utensils used in the Shou Palace far exceeded the specifications. This time, the longevity palace was built, and the silver was as huge as seven million taels, and its scale was far better than that of the first emperor. In Taicang, Zhang Jiangling changed the law for ten years to accumulate money, and now it is only two years to use half of Thailand, and we are really sad to see this. ”

Zhu Geng pinched his beard and said: "Brother Wuji, the Son of Heaven is still young and full of material desires, which is also inevitable. However, the Son of Heaven is a saint after all, and sooner or later he will understand. ”

Yu Shenxing sighed: "I hope so, last year, Henan, Suzhou and Hangzhou, this year's Yunnan border affairs, the imperial court is stretched, and the people below are even more miserable." ”

"If you look at Beijing, you will know that there are more people begging on the streets than in the past, and now the ministers travel with money, and the carriages and horses pass by to disperse, so that the people can rob them. In this way, they have sent beautiful talks, thinking that it is a righteous act, but I am ashamed of it. The people are not self-sufficient, and the streets are full of cold, whose fault is it, it is the princes of the Manchu Dynasty who do not know how to persuade the Son of Heaven! ”

When Zhu Geng heard this, he immediately said: "Brother Wujian is cautious, don't you want to admonish the Son of Heaven and repeat the mistakes of Lin Zonghai!" ”

"As ministers, we must know what is right. You look like a screen, if it is straight, it is not open, and it needs to be bent before it can stand. And for example, this wheel, if it is not feasible, it will be kneaded and rounded. Lin Zonghai understood this truth back then, but he didn't know it, he really didn't know it. If he is able to endure for a while, and to this day the Son of Heaven will be able to advise him in the court. ”

Yu Shenxing shook his head and said, "What Brother Zhu said makes sense, but I still think that it is better not to persuade or not." ”

While the two were talking, they saw Ni Wanguang, the political envoy, leaving from the Huangji Gate with a group of officials.

Yu Shenxing was surprised and immediately stopped.

Ni Wanguang saw Yu Shenxing and Zhu Geng, and they also stepped forward.

Zhu Geng and Yu Shenxing are both close ministers of today's son.

Zhu Geng is the head of the Hanlin Academy, wearing a scarlet robe, with his hands behind his back, a noble body, a smile on his slightly blessed face, and he looks amiable.

And Yu Shenxing was a lecturer, dressed in a faded and old green robe, with thin cheeks, but he was tall and sharp, and his eyes were awe-inspiring.

Ni Wanguang knows that Zhu Geng is fine, this person has always advocated calming things and being the same as the light, but Yu Shenxing is different, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he scolded Zhang Juzheng, and after Zhang Juzheng went, he made a mistake in front of the Son of Heaven to protect Zhang Juzheng.

The two inquired, and Ni Wanguang told the matter that he was blocked by the lieutenant in front of the emperor's gate, and he was very indignant in his words.

Of course, Ni Wanguang's move also has the meaning of acting a full set, and at the same time, he is also a little angry in his heart.

The Son of Heaven can not see anyone, but he can't not see the political envoy.

Although the chapters are now presented to the Son of Heaven through the clerical office, he Ni Wanguang is still nominally the mouthpiece of the imperial court. He was a dignified political envoy who had no way to directly meet the Son of Heaven and was humiliated by a lieutenant official, is there simply a royal law?

Ni Wanguang said negatively: "There is really nothing the official can do about this matter, only the elder of the Ming Pavilion!" ”

Zhu Geng and Yu Shenxing glanced at each other. Zhu Geng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to go to Wenyuan Pavilion, the three pavilion elders are not in the pavilion now." ”

Of course, Ni Wanguang knew that at this hour, even if he was a cabinet scholar on rotation, he would have already gone home.

He didn't plan to go to Wenyuan Pavilion, but he just used it as an excuse.

Ni Wanguang said: "This matter will not be tolerated by the official, and the only way to do it now is to ask the two internal officials to uphold justice." ”

Ni Wanguang took advantage of the situation to push the boat.

Zhu Geng thought to himself, Ni Wanguang couldn't meet the Son of Heaven in person, it must be a big matter, so it was better to go back first.

Zhu Geng said at the moment: "Although we are bachelors of the Hanlin Academy and have the qualifications to meet the Son of Heaven in person, we can't pass the Zhongguan level, so we can only go to the Shoufu Mansion to consult the Shoufu and then make a decision." ”

Ni Wanguang almost clapped his hands and said yes, this is the solution.

So Ni Wanguang said: "It seems that there is no way, please ask the head of the court to meet the first assistant with the official." ”

Zhu Geng was about to nod, but Yu Shenxing said: "No, I will go to Yuanfu's mansion and come and go, even if I get Yuanfu's will, when I return here, the palace gate will be locked, and no one will be able to meet the Son of Heaven at that time." ”

Zhu Geng, Ni Wanguang are all in their hearts, nonsense, we just have to drag it to the moment when the palace gate is locked.

Ni Wanguang sweated on his forehead and said, "That depends on the meaning of the adult?" ”

Zhu Geng interjected: "Lord Ni, what kind of 100,000 urgent official documents should be presented to the Son of Heaven immediately?" ”

Ni Wanguang said: "But it is not a hundred thousand urgent, it is a book of the people of Henan, only because this matter involves the people of a province, and the people's feelings are important, so as a general political envoy, I must personally present it to the Son of Heaven." ”

"The Book of the People?"

Zhu Geng, Yu Shenxing couldn't help but change color.

The book of the people of a province, since the founding of the country, there have not been many such things.

Ni Wanguang sighed, and the officials of the Political Department said angrily: "Not only that, but there are also more than 200 officials in Henan who jointly signed a concert, as well as Henan officials in Beijing, including Lord Shen, the Sect of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Song, the Governor of Baoding!" ”

Talkative. Ni Wanguang scolded in his heart.

But Zhu Geng and Yu Shenxing's faces were shocked.

Zhu Geng thought of the book of the people of Henan, and countless thoughts turned in his mind.

And Yu Shenxing was shocked and said: "Not to mention the joint letter of Henan officials, even the book of the people is a very important matter, if it is not for any major grievances among the people, how can it provoke the people of a province to write a book." ”

"If this grievance is not played immediately, I don't know what great changes will happen in Henan?"

Ni Wanguang spread his hands and sighed: "This official also knows, but he can't do anything." ”

Zhu Geng also said: "No way, I really can't repay the Son of Heaven today." ”

At this moment, Yu Shenxing's face had changed color, and the Shandong man said sharply: "Where is there a living person to suffocate to urine?" I heard that the General Administration Department has a red card from Taizu, anyone can hold this red card to meet the Son of Heaven, anyone who dares to stop it, and those who slander will be killed! ”

Ni Wanguang was immediately frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, this red card has never been used since Taizu gave it." If you hold this card to see the Son of Heaven, where is the dignity of the court? ”

Zhu Geng also objected on the side: "Brother Wuji, think twice!" ”

Yu Shenxing looked at Ni Wanguang, and Zhu Geng said, "What is decent or not decent?" It's all blocking the ass door, what do you care about decency? ”

"If anything goes wrong in this matter, I will be cautious and deserve it alone! It's none of your business. ”

Zhu Geng breathed a sigh of relief and thought, you said it earlier, and then he looked at Ni Wanguang and said: "Lord Ni, I remember that Taizu did give this red card to the General Administration Department back then, and now the people's feelings are like a mountain, and the matter is important, why don't you hold this red card to meet the Son of Heaven?" ”

Ni Wanguang's face was as if he was constipated, and he held his breath and said word by word: "Although the red card is given by Taizu, this matter is not trivial, once the red card is displayed, it will tear the face, and there will be no room for half a buffer in the matter." ”

"This ......"

Yu Shenxing said: "Lord Ni, if the rivers are silted, the catastrophe is coming, and the silting of the roads is even worse than the rivers. At present, there are traitors in the court who are obstructing them, trying to deceive the Holy Hearing, so that the Son of Heaven will not be able to listen to the suffering of the people! Can't see! I don't know! ”

"Henan's grievances are boiling, and it is difficult to show grievances, once the people's hearts change, even if the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles, the collapse is only in the day! As a political envoy, you should make the way of speech unimpeded, so that the people's feelings can be connected to the Son of Heaven, how can you be afraid at this moment! ”

Yu Shenxing's righteousness and solemn remarks, Ni Wanguang was ashamed, and all the officials behind him felt that Yu Shenxing was loyal, and they could hardly help but applaud loudly.

Ni Wanguang still looked like he was dying, and said weakly: "The official also has a heart, but I don't know where to put the red card......"

"Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have seen a red card in the Cabinet Pavilion!"

Ni Wanguang instantly felt that the sky was getting dark all of a sudden.

"Great, that's the case, Lord Ni, how about asking your subordinates to go back to the Chief Secretary immediately to get a red card...... Lord Ni? Well, you adults have agreed! ”

In the square of the Forbidden City, the cold wind is like a knife, and the sky is getting darker little by little.

Zhu Geng closed his eyes and recuperated, looking calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was up and down.

Ni Wanguang was bloodless, and sighed for a long time.

The young officials are also very worried in their hearts, and this matter has reached this point, and it is difficult to clean up.

Among the crowd, Yu Shenxing's face was flushed, and he paced on the stone bricks of the square with his hands in his hands.

"The palace gate is about to be locked, why haven't you come yet?" At this moment, someone couldn't hold his breath.

"What red cards do you believe in? Even if there is, I don't know what it looks like to be gnawed by rats? ”

"It seems like a trip for nothing. If we go through the procedure and hand over the Book of All People to the Son of Heaven tomorrow, it will be nothing, and we will be fine, so why wait here? ”

One person sneered: "Yes, go through the procedure, so that anyone can do it, so why do we need to wait for a scholar who has read the books of the sages to be officials?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the officials have nothing else to do, but to ask for the people's lives!"

For the people!

Yu Shenxing read these words and nodded immediately.

Just as the palace gate was about to close, several people suddenly rushed in.

"They're coming!"

Everyone looked eagerly at the palace gate.

But I saw an official say to Yu Shenxing: "In the internal system, the red card has been obtained!" ”

Yu Shenxing didn't say a word, grabbed the red card in his hand and said to everyone: "There are traitors in the court to stop it, and I don't want to make the people's feelings reach the heavens. If it is successful, it is good, but if the Son of Heaven is strange, the villain will inevitably cause harm. Everyone, go with me or not, you can think clearly! ”

The cold wind was howling, and the officials looked at each other.

After a moment of hesitation, someone said in a loud voice.

"Willing to go together!"

"I want to go!"

"Let's go!"

All the officials agreed in unison.

Yu Shenxing nodded, and at the moment of the next person, all the officials followed him and walked straight to the Huangji Gate. And Ni Wanguang and Zhu Geng can only follow hard.

Yu Guangli, the eunuch guarding the door, had just sent a talent to ask for credit from the person behind the scenes, saying how he had used a little trick to drive Ni Wanguang away.

But now Ni Wanguang has gone and returned.

PS: There is one more shift tonight.
