When the eldest son of Emperor Wen was born, all the officials in Beijing rushed to the Forbidden City to congratulate him.

Thousands of civil and military officials in the capital gathered in front of the Huiji Gate at this moment, dressed in auspicious clothes, and everyone was full of joy on their faces.

At that time, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty had no heirs, so the throne was passed to Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty. With the imperial heir, not only the royal family is relieved, but the ministers are also relieved, the birth of the emperor means that there is a successor to the throne, and the world is safe.

In addition, the greater significance is that the ministers will not have two hearts for the emperor, and they will worry about this and that.

When the little emperor made a mistake before, Empress Dowager Li used his younger brother King Lu to threaten him, saying that you are not good at being the emperor, so you will give up the throne to your brother.

Although this is just a threat, but the ministers may think so in their hearts, at that time, the little emperor was not in charge of the government, and the government was controlled by Zhang Juzheng, and the ministers inevitably did not regard the little emperor as a 'trainee son of heaven'.

Now that Zhang Juzheng is abdicating, the little emperor has established his authority in the dispute between Feng Bao and Zhang Siwei. This time, the birth of the emperor's son and the succession of the emperor's heirs made the little emperor's throne more stable, and the ministers' 'loyalty' to the little emperor also rose collectively.

Zhang Siwei, who is the head of the civil officials, slowly walked to the front of the Huiji Gate, and the ministers all let him debut along the way, and congratulated him.

"Yuan Fu has just been promoted to the first place, and he has encountered this happy event, which is really joyful!"

"Yuan Auxiliary has only been in charge of the phase for two months, that is, the birth of the emperor Yuanzi, and Yuan Auxiliary has made a great contribution."

"The emperor's heir has been decided, the ancestor has a succession, and the work of Yuanfu is even better than when Zhang Jiangling was in the cabinet."

Zhang Siwei smiled and walked to the door, accepting the sycophants of all the officials.

At this moment, the silent whip sounded three times, and all the ministers knelt down in front of the gate of the meeting.

The little emperor came to Huijimen, Feng Bao and Zhang Whale were all accompanied, and Zhang Siwei led the ministers to bow down to the little emperor.

Zhang Siwei said loudly: "The emperor has been in the palace for ten years, the discipline is repaired, the Chinese and foreign laws are obeyed, the warehouses are full, and the four Yibin clothes are enough to be called the ...... of public security."

After singing the praises, Zhang Siwei led the ministers to pay a few respects, and then shouted long live.

The little emperor Longyan was happy, and at this time Zhang Siwei said: "In order to congratulate the birthday of the emperor's son, the cabinet plans to take 200,000 taels of silver from Taicang and 100,000 taels of silver from Guanglu Temple to reward Your Majesty." In addition, the old annual levy was 1 million taels of gold and silver, and now it will continue to increase the comprador silver by 200,000 taels, a total of 1.2 million taels per year, all for the emperor's reward. ”

As soon as Zhang Siwei said this, all the ministers were quite slight.

Zhang Siwei first took 200,000 taels from the treasury and gave it to the Son of Heaven as a reward, not to mention that he also set a rule to increase the comprador silver by 200,000 taels every year to reward the Son of Heaven.

Speaking of which, it's all about using the money in Taicang to curry favor with the little emperor, and it's not the first time that you, Zhang Siwei, have done this.

However, the little emperor and Feng Bao were also dissatisfied, the birth of the emperor Yuanzi, the household department should give money to the Son of Heaven to celebrate, no matter how grand it is, it is not too much, Zhang Siwei's move is too disadvantageous.

Seeing that Zhang Siwei, who was Yuanfu, wanted to take the blame on both sides, but he said: "Before the annual levy of gold and silver, it was in arrears every year, so the household department used the reserve silver to make up the number, and so far there is still more than one million taels of unpaid. In February this year, the natural color silk cloth, pigment wax tea, natural grain and rice, and horse grass were discounted by more than 2 million taels each. The court is also overstretched, so the ministers look at the palace to save. ”

Hearing Zhang Siwei say this, the little emperor suddenly felt that Zhang Siwei's move was indeed excusable, and the hundred officials also thought that Zhang Siwei also tried his best, at least fulfilled the responsibility of persuasion, and it was not easy for him to make this step.

At that moment, the little emperor nodded and said, "As planned." ”

All the officials shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhang Siwei said again: "The birth of the emperor Yuanzi, when the minister was sent to the suburbs of the temple to congratulate Sheji, the cabinet plans to become the prince of the country Zhu Yingzhen, Gongshun Hou Wu Jijue, Wu Qingbo Li Wei, and Zhang Wubo Yang Bing to go on behalf of His Majesty." ”

The first thing about the birth of this prince is, of course, to pay tribute to the ancestors and the ancestors, and to tell them the good news.

A smile appeared on the little emperor's face: "As planned." ”

Zhang Siwei said again: "The cabinet invites the ministers to feast tomorrow in the Emperor's Palace to congratulate the emperor." ”

This is another icing on the cake, the little emperor smiled and said, "As planned." ”

The little emperor even allowed Zhang Siwei to invite him three times, which shows his trust in Zhang Siwei and the harmony between the monarch and the ministers. Under the Huiji Gate, the emperor and the monarchs and ministers were peaceful and happy.

After the third invitation, Zhang Siwei led the ministers again and congratulated the little emperor again.

At this time, an official at the gate of the meeting was late.

On the steps, the little emperor and Feng Bao both saw this official, the little emperor's face was unhappy, and a eunuch was also unhappy: "Emperor Yuanzi He Yi dared to be late, and he didn't know the Han general to fork this person out." ”

On the side, Zhang Whale's sharp eyes said: "Slow, this is Lin Zhongyun, a close minister next to His Majesty, he is a step late, there must be a reason." ”

As soon as the eunuch heard that the other party was Lin Yanchao, he immediately retreated into the class and stopped talking.

Lin Yanchao, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, walked quickly to the end of the official class, intending to pass without being noticeable. At this time, I heard an official say coldly: "Lin Zhongyun, today is the birthday of the emperor's son, and all the officials are here, why did you arrive at the last place, do you still have a saint in your eyes?" Is there still a heavenly home? ”

Lin Yanchao saw that this person turned out to be the old enemy He Luoshu.

"Lin Zhongyun didn't think that he could use the main exam, even if you were the main exam, he was also a Beijing official, and it would be disrespectful to delay it so far, and it would be even more disrespectful when the emperor and the prince congratulated him."

But seeing He Luoshu sneering twice, the more he spoke, the louder he became, for fear that others would not know, and the people around him looked at it.

Lin Yanchao didn't bother to explain the reason to He Luoshu, and said lightly: "Why is Brother He so aggressive? Back then, you and I were just a little holiday, do you have to hold on to it like this? Today is the emperor's son He Yi, I don't want to have a dispute with you over private matters, this matter is over! ”

He Luoshu thought that Lin Yanchao was instigated when he saw it, and sneered: "Lin Zhongyun, what are you talking about, is it because of personal matters and disputes, you misled the emperor Yuanzi He Yi to say, and tried in vain to frame He Mou, saying that my move was because of private harm to the public?" Do you think that by delaying the celebration and ignoring His Majesty's sin, you can divert the audience by pouring dirty water on He? Tell you that all the officials are witnesses, not only He, but we can expose you! ”

After He Luoshu finished speaking, he looked at the officials on the left and right, and motioned for them to stand up and report Lin Yanchao with him.

Lin Yanchao stood here calmly, several officials did not dare to face it, and after a few words of private speech, no one came forward and ignored He Luoshu's words.

After a while, the onlookers in the front row all turned their heads and looked at the floor tiles, obviously seeing them as if they didn't see them.

As for the officials on the left and right, they laughed wryly, and then turned their heads away.

There was no official present who was willing to stand on He Luoshu's side, and when he saw this scene, he was so angry that he trembled, and pointed at Lin Yanchao speechless.

In the past, Zhao Gao's finger deer was like as a horse, and he finally saw it today.
