Inside the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

Hongji sat behind the dragon case and raised his eyes to look at the ministers in front of him.

"Liu Qingjia, I heard that you also received an invitation?" Hongji looked at Liu Jian with a smile on his face.

Liu Jian bowed, "Exactly, the minister received the Ming family's invitation." ”

"Are you going then?"

Liu Jian smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, this matter is really difficult for the minister, after all, I had a friendship with Mr. Lu before, and this time he personally came forward to invite him, and the minister couldn't help but go for Mr. Lu's face!" ”

"What about Li Qing?" Hongzhi ignored his complaint and turned his head to look at Li Dongyang.

"The minister has already agreed to go!" Li Dongyang is a bachelor, and he said bluntly, anyway, no one knows about his relationship with Ming Zhongxin, so why hide it.

"What about Xie Qing?" Hongji asked again.

Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and his eyes flashed, "The two pavilion elders are going, but Xie has not yet decided, but now that Ming Zhongxin is outside the palace, it is up to His Majesty to decide!" ”

The implication was to see His Majesty's decision, and he followed.

This old fox! Liu Jian and Li Dongyang secretly scolded in their hearts.

Hongzhi was noncommittal, looking at Xie Qian, "Xie Qing, I am now asking you about your decision!" ”

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Hongzhi, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty should be cautious, if you accept his invitation, I am afraid that everyone will have bad conjectures!" However, the minister can go and see what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd of Ming Zhongxin! It's better to take a good look at your majesty and make an eyeliner! ”

This guy, this is to persuade Hongzhi to be inconvenient to attend, and by the way, he will give Ming Zhongxin an eye medicine, and his heart can be punished!

Yin enough, ruthless enough! He was afraid that Ming Zhongxin would get the support of Emperor Hongzhi, and at that time, as long as Emperor Hongzhi appeared in the Ming Mansion, then if the forces in the court wanted to deal with the Ming family again, they would have to bear the wrath of His Majesty, which no one wanted!

This is the biggest support to block Ming CITIC!

All the officialdom old fritters present naturally understood his intentions, but there was no way to stop him, after all, what Xie Qian said was reasonable, His Majesty's every move represents his support and holy family, and he must not give it to others at will! What's more, it's such a small showman, absolutely not!

Therefore, as soon as Xie Qian's words came out, naturally most of the courtiers echoed him!

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly, this is the norm in officialdom, and he can't speak for Ming Zhongxin!

Now, it's up to Your Majesty to mean it!

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but converge on Hongji.

At this time, Hongzhi smiled slightly, looked up at Chen Zhun who was standing next to him, and ordered, "Chen Aiqing, you go and collect Ming Zhongxin's invitation, and see what is on the request?" ”

Chen Zhun naturally obeyed the order.

For a moment, the imperial study was as quiet as death.

Everyone didn't dare to speak again, just because they couldn't judge whether His Majesty agreed with Xie Qian's meaning or said that he had other meanings, so naturally they didn't dare to make any more casual remarks.

Outside the Forbidden City, Ming Zhongxin stood quietly in front of the palace gate, his face calm, not anxious, as if he was just waiting for an ordinary friend.

With a squeak, the palace door opened, and Chen Zhun walked out.

Ming Zhongxin raised his eyes and looked at Chen Zhun indifferently, not impatient.

Chen Zhun came to the front, looked at Ming Zhongxin, and did not speak, just watched quietly.

Ming Zhongxin did not change his face, nor did he speak, and waited calmly.

After a long time, Chen Zhun smiled slightly and nodded, "Not bad, not bad, it's quite calm, no wonder, no wonder!" ”

Ming Zhongxin smiled and asked softly, "This lord, who are you?" ”

"Alright, bring me the advice!" Chen Zhun stretched out his hand and looked at Ming Zhongxin levelly.

"Oh!" Ming Zhongxin was not surprised, raised his hand and put the invitation respectfully in Chen Zhun's hand, straightened up, and arched his hand, "There is labor!" ”

"Wait!" Chen Zhun said softly and turned away.

Ming Zhongxin stood quietly, expressionless, and resumed his standing posture, motionless.

And in the imperial study.

In the silence, Chen Zhun's footsteps sounded, and he came to the front of the dragon case in the imperial study with a request in his hand, and presented it to Hongji.

Hongji raised his hand to take the advice and gently opened it.

Oh! At first glance, Hongji's eyes shrank and he whispered.

In an instant, the hearts of the ministers in the imperial study jumped, could it be that there was anything else to say in this invitation?

Then, I saw Hongji smiling and shaking his head.

Xie Qian couldn't help it, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this request?" ”

Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Qian, and without saying a word, he raised his hand to ask, "Take a look!" ”

Chen Zhun took the invitation and sent it to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian took the invitation, looked down, sighed, smiled, raised his hand and handed it to Li Dongyang next to him.

Li Dongyang took the invitation and took a look, he was also slightly stunned, and then shook his head and chuckled.

Xie Qian couldn't wait to ask for advice, looked down, his face changed, he was a little gloomy, he slowly closed the request and handed it to the next minister.

After turning around, the advice returned to Chen Zhun's hands.

Brigadier General Chen put the advice back on the dragon case and stepped aside.

"Let's talk about it, everyone's opinion!" Hongji looked around and asked softly.

For a while, everyone looked at each other and was silent.

"Xie Qing, do you think this proposal of Ming Zhongxin is acceptable?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Hongji took the roll call.

"Back to Your Majesty, please ask the Holy Judge for this matter, and the minister can't overstep his bounds!" Xie Qian hurriedly bowed back.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, he was really a villain just now, originally, he thought that this Ming Zhongxin wanted to use this matter to see His Majesty's intentions, if it happened, he would be able to use His Majesty's power to get out of the current predicament, if not, he would not lose anything. Of course, he wanted to stop him from taking advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that Ming Zhongxin actually had such an idea, alas, miscalculated!

I can't be this kid anymore! Naturally, he was reluctant to refuse.

Koji glanced at him with displeasure.

Xie Qian hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Hongzhi again.

Hongji was not too concerned, and turned his head to look at the ministers who had just echoed him, and these ministers avoided him one after another.

Hongji's face sank, and he asked in a deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, didn't you speak in a leap just now?" Now what's going on? ”

The ministers didn't dare to come out, they just bowed their heads and kept silent.

Hongzhi snorted heavily, ignored them anymore, and turned his head to look at Li Dongyang, "Li Qing, what do you think I should do with this request?" ”

"Minister, please judge!" Li Dongyang naturally won't take this stubble, after all, this stubble is a pit! He didn't expect that Ming Zhongxin would dare to do this, and it was still a big fanfare, so many people were deceived, which led to the current situation, he would not take this plate, otherwise, he would be a fool!

For Li Dongyang, Hongzhi didn't have anything to say, and turned his head to look at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, this matter still has to be decided by you, but Ming Zhongxin invited the prince to the Ming mansion, and said that he wanted to thank the prince for his visit to the mansion before, and wanted to entertain him, which is commendable." But it is indeed a bit dangerous to go to the Ming Mansion, after all, the current situation is a bit confusing! No one knows what will happen! But it is also a good thing for the prince to go to the Ming house, during this period of time, there are frequent accidents in the Jingshi, if the prince travels this time, nothing happens, it will also make the people increase their confidence in the protective force of the Jingshi, and I believe that it will be of great benefit to the governance of the Jingshi! However, safety measures must be taken in place so that no one can take advantage of them! ”

He can only point out like this, analyze the pros and cons clearly, and as for the decision, he can only make a decision! After all, as the first assistant, he must not avoid this pit like everyone else.

"Didn't you just say that? Why are you dumb now! When Hongji heard this, he nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the ministers who had just echoed him, and said sharply.

The ministers were silent, and they didn't dare to speak out loud.

"Liu Qing is right!" Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and smiled, "As the prince of a country, Zhao'er should also experience experience!" Chen Zhun, the prince's net worth and safety will be handed over to you, something happened, only you ask! ”

"No!" Chen Zhun naturally agreed.

"In any case, Ming Zhongxin's invitation this time is also a good thing, maybe it's funny, I am actually happy to see the hunt, if it wasn't for Ming Zhongxin didn't invite me, I would definitely go to see me!" Hongji smiled, looked around, and smiled.

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and raised their eyes to look at Hongji, after all, they couldn't be sure whether this majesty was sincere or not, but if he was sincere, this Ming Zhongxin really wanted to go to heaven! This holy family is really amazing!

And Xie Qian was even more shocked, he felt that His Majesty's words were aimed at him, after all, he had persuaded His Majesty not to go to the Ming Mansion before, although he was a villain in vain, but he really didn't want His Majesty to go to the Ming Mansion to support him, otherwise, he would have to deal with this Ming Zhongxin in the future It would be very difficult for him to deal with it, and then all actions would be really more difficult!

And His Majesty's words at this time, whether they are sincere or not, I am afraid that they also have the intention of beating themselves! He didn't dare to look at Hongji even more, so he could only bow his head and pretend to be an ostrich, pretending not to know!

Of course, in his heart, he adjusted the threat of Ming Zhongxin to the highest, and he must suppress this kid as soon as possible, otherwise, after a while, he will no longer be able to suppress it!

But Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other and smiled, this guy, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice! Let you be scared, be put on a show by others! We thought of it before, according to the IQ of Ming Zhongxin, how could he not be bored with himself, and he really didn't disappoint us, this guy is in a good way!

I believe that after today's deliberations in the imperial study, His Majesty's attitude will spread all over the government and the opposition tomorrow, which is a good thing for Ming Zhongxin! The saint is in his hands, this is a god blocking and killing God, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddha!

Li Dongyang was secretly happy for Ming Zhongxin in his heart.

At this time, they naturally would not dissuade His Majesty, after all, the meaning of Hongji's words was not to go to the Ming Mansion.

This made Xie Qian feel a little comforted, after all, there was a world of difference between the prince and His Majesty!

"Okay, I'm just sighing, don't look like that!" Hongzhi saw that Yushitai was eager to try, presumably wanting to admonish what he said, shook his head and smiled, and said to the imperial historians, "However, this art appreciation meeting held by Ming Zhongxin is also a major event in Beijing, you don't have any bad thoughts!" ”

Hongji's warning shocked the hearts of those present, His Majesty was so concerned about this grand event of Ming Zhongxin, it was incredible!

Could it be that the prince wants to participate? The ministers who did not know the inside story speculated.

However, Li Dongyang and other people who are familiar with the inside story sighed secretly in their hearts, or Mr. Lu's face is big! I believe that if it weren't for Mr. Lu presiding, I'm afraid that His Majesty would not allow the prince to go! I wouldn't have made such an order.

The ministers had different thoughts, but this did not hinder Hongji's thoughts, he glanced around and asked in a deep voice, "Princess, is there anything else to do?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other, but no one went out to work again.

"Good!" Hongji nodded, "Then Zhuqing will go back!" ”

The words fell, and Hongji had already turned away.

The ministers naturally left in twos and threes, but they were whispering, and the words were discussing today's affairs of Ming Zhongxin, after all, this guy actually invited the three auxiliary ministers, and the three auxiliary ministers had to go, and even more so, His Majesty actually allowed the prince to go, this is not a trivial matter, this represents the future direction of the court, after all, the three auxiliary ministers move together, this is a rare, even rare event!

But Xie Qian had a black face and threw away with his sleeves, after all, he had lost an adult today, where would he still have the face to discuss with others!

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other and smiled, bowed their hands, and turned away.

As expected, the conversation in the Imperial Study spread out at an unprecedented speed, and His Majesty's words and reactions were vividly transmitted!

Of course, Xie Qian's troubles have also been mentioned over and over again, and what is even more shocking is that the crown prince and the three auxiliary ministers actually want to go to the Ming Mansion, which is a shock to the capital!

The little Ming Zhongxin was able to invite such a heavyweight, where did this Ming family come from? For a time, rumors from all walks of life in Beijing were everywhere!

Of course, this does not hinder Ming Zhongxin, after all, he got Chen Zhun's reply at the first time, the prince is going, but Chen Zhun also warned in every possible way that the safety work must be done well, and the guards must be foolproof, otherwise, not only Ming Zhongxin himself, but even Chen Zhun will not be able to escape the involvement!

Ming Zhongxin naturally readily agreed, and after thanking him, he returned to the Ming Mansion and arranged the funeral!

Of course, from this day on, the Ming Mansion is running quickly, after all, time is running out, the time to prepare is too hasty, and now the level of the guests has been determined, too tall, the Ming Mansion must not have a trace of mistakes, otherwise, not only shame, but also lose life! How can you not pay attention to it!

And at this time, not only the Ming family, but even those people from the alliance also joined in, wanting to work hard to make this banquet a success! After all, the stakes are high, and no one wants to have an accident! If the Ming family holds this banquet well, their influence will rise, and they will naturally rise.

Everyone is working together and working hard to prepare!

From this day on, the eyes of the whole Beijing division gathered in the Ming Mansion, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the art fair!
