"Lord Wang, if you ask someone to pass it on to the miscellaneous family, I will come to you, why do you come here in person." In the courtyard of the celebrant supervisor, Wang Zhen led several attendants out to greet Li Yuntian, bowed down and said with a smile on his face.

"This king is deserted there, it's better for you to be here, there are a lot of people." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said disapprovingly, it is indeed inconvenient for eunuchs to go to the Wutang as a military important place, so he took the initiative to come to the celebrant supervisor.

Wang Zhen bowed down and invited Li Yuntian into the reception hall, and after the two of them sat down, the subordinates served two cups of fragrant tea attentively, and then everyone retreated with interest, it was obvious that Li Yuntian had something important to say when he came to Wang Zhen this time.

"Deputy Chief Manager Wang, the case of Li Xianjiu has dragged on for so long, and it's time to settle it." After the people retreated, Li Yuntian put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Wang Zhen quietly.

"Lord Wang, the emperor has sent someone to send a message, and the miscellaneous family will do their best to assist the prince." Wang Zhen bowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and said with a smile.

To tell the truth, Wang Zhen has been busy with Li Qingzheng's affairs recently, and he never expected that after moving Li Qingzheng, it would be like stabbing a hornet's nest in the officialdom, and not only the civilian clique but even the Xungui clique also pointed the finger at the inner court.

The so-called lips and teeth are cold, rabbits and foxes are sad, originally the Xungui group sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sat back and watched the battle between the inner court and the civil official group, but unfortunately this time Wang Zhen chose the wrong target, Li Qingzheng as the leader of the Ming Dynasty and Qingliu has a high prestige in the court, which made the Xungui group vigilant, and then stood on the side of the civil official group.

After all, Wang Zhen can get rid of Li Qingzheng, the head of the Qingliu today, then next time he can attack someone in the Xungui group, which is not what the nobles are willing to see, although the Xungui group and the civil official group have a lot of contradictions with each other, but they also have a common interest in the face of the inner court, that is, the power of the ministers.

Therefore, in this way, the inner court was caught between the civil official group and the Xungui group, which made Wang Zhen have to be tired of coping.

In particular, Sun Zhong, the Marquis of Huichang, came forward to help Li Qingzheng speak, which made Wang Zhen feel a lot of pressure, because Sun Zhong was none other than the father of the current Empress Dowager Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun also felt that Li Qingzheng's matter was a bit excessive, so she deliberately talked to the orthodox emperor about the matter, although she did not say it explicitly, but she expressed the hope that the orthodox emperor would solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to cause turmoil in the court.

It was after Empress Dowager Sun found the orthodox emperor that the orthodox emperor finally made up his mind that Li Yuntian was recruited back from Korea and urgently dealt with Li Qingzheng's matter.

Wang Zhen is most worried about what the civil official group and the Xungui group will unite to put him to death, once this happens, then even if it is the orthodox emperor, it is likely that he will not be able to save his life, after all, compared with the Daming Jiangshan, the orthodox emperor will definitely choose the Daming Jiangshan, and then he can only use his life to calm the anger of the civil official group and the Xungui group.

Therefore, Li Qingzheng's case has developed to this point, Wang Zhen has felt inexplicably frightened and panicked in his heart, and he finds that he has despised the power of the civilian clique and the exhortation clique.

Li Yuntian's arrival made Wang Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, since the orthodox emperor urgently transferred Li Yuntian from Korea, then Li Yuntian will definitely calm down this incident in the capital, and the civil official group and the Xungui group will definitely give Li Yuntian face, after all, they don't want things to be so deadlocked.

It was already early in the morning when Li Yuntian left the celebrant supervisor, and he had already reached an agreement with Wang Zhen on Li Qingzheng's matter, and he did not return to the lecture hall but rushed to Daming Gate.

At this moment, there were more than 1,000 prisoners kneeling outside the Daming Gate, originally these prisoners were just kneeling outside the Daming Gate during the day to ask the Orthodox Emperor to release Li Qingzheng, but after the Orthodox Emperor did not reply to them, the young prisoners upgraded their actions and prepared to kneel outside the Daming Gate until Li Qingzheng was released.

For these young and vigorous prisoners, the orthodox emperor was very troubled by this, and once asked the teachers of Guozijian to persuade them to go back to class, but those prisoners resolutely stayed outside the Daming Gate in order to ask Li Qingzheng for his life.

Not only that, but the prisoners thought that the orthodox emperor had been deceived by the traitorous ministers, and asked the orthodox emperor to eliminate the traitors around him, and it was also clear and clear.

Of course, the traitors in the mouths of the prisoners naturally refer to Wang Zhen and other eunuchs in the inner court, and in the eyes of the prisoners, these eunuchs have deceived the orthodox emperor and the villains who do no evil.

In order to avoid accidents among those prisoners, the orthodox emperor ordered the people of the Yamen to take care of those prisoners, but the weather in the capital in September has become cold, and the prisoners' physique is already weak, if those prisoners really kneel for a night, many people's bodies will definitely be unbearable.

Outside the Daming Gate, Li Yuntian saw from a distance that the open space in front of the door was brightly lit and crowded, and everywhere he could see was the pro-army responsible for maintaining order.

"His Royal Highness King Chung!" When the pro-army standing on the periphery saw Li Yuntian who was surrounded by a group of guards, they couldn't help but shout in surprise, the black python dragon robe on Li Yuntian's body showed his identity from afar.

Subsequently, the pro-army along the way flashed to both sides like a tide, making way for Li Yuntian to see Li Yuntian go towards Daming Gate.

Outside the Daming Gate, there were not only kneeling prisoners, but also gathered a large number of civil and military elites, Yang Pu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Fu, the British public, and others were all present, and there was no effect in persuading those prisoners to go back, so they had no choice but to talk in a low voice on the side, looking very helpless.

"I implore the emperor to remove the traitors and release the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine." Before Li Yuntian could get closer, he heard a hoarse voice from the crowd in front of the prisoner.

"I implore the emperor to remove the traitors and release the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine!" Immediately, the prisoners kneeling there touched their heads to the ground and shouted in unison.

Li Yuntian frowned when he heard this, from the words "eliminate traitors", he knew that these prisoners had violated the taboo, it was obvious that this traitor referred to the eunuchs around the orthodox emperor, but the eunuchs were acting for the orthodox emperor, if those eunuchs were traitors, what was the orthodox emperor?

Zhang Fu, who was talking to people with no expression on his face, was the first to see Li Yuntian, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, he never expected Li Yuntian to appear here, and hurriedly led the surrounding nobles to greet him.

Zhang Fu's move immediately attracted the attention of Yang Pu, Hu Ying and others not far away, and they also rushed to meet Li Yuntian's arrival after seeing him.

"King Zhong, you came at the right time, these descendants are too stubborn, you have to kneel here." Zhang Fu came to Li Yuntian, sighed and looked at the prisoner kneeling there, with a very helpless look on his face.

Zhang Fu has a wealth of experience, so he naturally knows why these prisoners are here, and nine times out of ten, they are secretly instigated by some people to exert pressure on the orthodox emperor.

Obviously, Zhang Fu did not approve of the practice of using prisoners to exert pressure on the orthodox emperor, but he was helpless, he was a noble and the prisoners belonged to the camp of the civil official group, so he could only choose to be a bystander, and those prisoners obviously believed in the civil officials more, if he said too much, it would make those prisoners misunderstand.

"King Chung." Yang Pu, Hu Ying and others also came to Li Yuntian at this time and bowed to him.

"It's freezing on this day, and if these prisoners stay here all night, they will definitely fall ill tomorrow." After Li Yuntian returned the salute to her husband, Yang Pu, Hu Ying and others, she frowned slightly and looked at the prisoners who were kneeling there shivering with cold.

"Lord Wang, we have used all methods, but they just refuse to leave." Yang Pu sighed when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't agree with the prison student Fu Que's letter, if he wanted to do this, he should also be the officials of the major ministries in the imperial court.

Obviously, the officials of the major ministries and yamen in the capital are very aware of the consequences of kneeling in the Daming Gate, once they anger the orthodox emperor, they will lose their lives, after all, although the orthodox emperor is young now, he is not a child who can be fooled by others, and no one knows what he will do under impulse.

Moreover, Li Qingzheng's case is still being heard, and the civil official clique has not yet reached the step of kneeling and admonishing, and you must know that kneeling is usually synonymous with forcing the palace, and it is a last resort.

Since Li Qing is the sacrificial wine of the Guozi Eunuch, it is most appropriate for those prisoners to intercede with the Orthodox Emperor, because these prisoners are not officials, so the Orthodox Emperor has dealt with them a lot, so as not to chill the hearts of the scholars in the world.

"These prisoners have read all their books in vain." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed again when he heard this, and he groaned and walked towards the Daming Gate.

At this moment, the prisoners kneeling there already knew that Li Yuntian was coming, and they all looked up at Li Yuntian, and their faces all showed excited looks.

The prisoners knew that Li Yuntian and Li Qingzheng had a good relationship, and now that Li Yuntian is here, Li Qingzheng will definitely be saved, and he will definitely be able to persuade the orthodox emperor to get rid of those traitors who deceived him.

"King Zhong, you have to save Lord Sacrificial Wine, who was killed by a traitor and is in danger." Kneeling in front of the prisoner was a polite young man, who said loudly with sad eyes when he saw Li Yuntian, his voice was a little hoarse, if Li Yuntian heard it correctly, the slogan just now was shouted by him.

"If this king is not mistaken, your name is Li Gui, a native of Jiangnan, and you are the proud protégé of Li Saijiu." Li Yuntian glanced at the young man and said quietly, "At the beginning of the year, this king went to the Guozijian to find Li Sacrifice Wine, and it was you who served the tea to this king, so it can be seen that Li Sacrifice Wine is quite important to you. ”

"The prince can remember the villain, and the villain feels very honored." Li Gui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and a look of excitement couldn't help but appear on his face, and he touched his head to the ground and said, "Please save Lord Sacrificial Wine." ”

"Please save the lord of the sacrificial wine!" Hearing this, the prisoners kneeling behind them shouted in unison, and they all touched the ground with their heads.

"This king asks you, Do you know where this is?" Li Yuntian glanced at the prisoner kneeling in front of him, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the Daming Gate behind him and asked.

"Back to the prince, this is the palace gate of the Forbidden City." Li Gui felt a little strange about Li Yuntian's question, and raised his head when he heard the words and replied.

"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the four gates of the imperial city are closed after nightfall, and idle people are not allowed to enter." Li Yuntian looked at Li Gui expressionlessly, "This king asks you, in what capacity did you appear in the imperial city?" ”

"Lord, there is a small trouble in the imperial court, although we have no official position, since we have received the grace of the saint to read the books of the sages in the country, we must serve the country at this time and share the worries for the king!" Li Gui was stunned, feeling that Li Yuntian's tone was a little cold, and hurriedly replied, if they followed the rules, they would be driven away if they were not arrested and put in prison, how could the imperial city be such an easy place to stay?

"Xiaoxiao?" Li Yuntian saw the righteousness of Li Gui's words, so he stared at him coldly and said, "This king asks you, how do you think of yourself compared to the officials of the yamen of the major ministries and courtyards in the capital?" ”

"Less than one percent." Although Li Gui was arrogant and arrogant, he did not dare to compare with the officials of the yamen of the major ministries, so he replied respectfully, those officials were not only from a scholar but also had a very high prestige, and he could not compare with them at all.

"In that case, why didn't the hall officials find out that there were young people in the court, but you shouted conclusively that the emperor was small and small, are these hall officials inferior to you?" Li Yuntian sneered and stared at Li Guidao with a cold expression.

"The prince is serious, and we have no intention of doing so." Li Gui saw that Li Yuntian's eyes were sharp and domineering, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from his forehead, and he hurriedly said embarrassedly.

Li Yuntian is right, although the civil official group and the inner court seem to be fighting fiercely, but no one dares to say that Wang Zhen and others are Xiaoxiao, just from the fact that Wang Zhen caught Li Qingzheng, Wang Zhen actually did not do anything wrong, Li Qingzheng did indeed move the official wood of the Guozijian, but Wang Zhen made a big fuss.

Therefore, those officials in the imperial court pleaded for Li Qingzheng for the orthodox emperor's superiors, and no one said that he Li Qingzheng was innocent, as for saying that Wang Zhen was a young man, it was just that the officials complained in private, but no one said so on the surface, and it was easier to commit taboos.

"If Li Xianjiu knew that you were kneeling down to the emperor here for him, he would be very disappointed."

Noticing the beads of sweat on Li Gui's forehead, Li Yuntian softened his tone after a deep groan, and said earnestly, "In vain, you have read so many books of sages, don't you know the truth that thunder, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace, how can you kneel down to admonish the emperor because Li Xianjiu was imprisoned, what is the difference between this and forcing the palace?" Do you think that the emperor will not judge the case impartially? ”

"The prince is serious, I don't dare to have such thoughts, please let the prince know." Li Gui was suddenly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly fell to the ground, Li Yuntian's words were heavy, and he was a little out of breath.

"Please take a look." Li Yuntian's words just now were full of anger, and the scene was silent, so the prisoners kneeling there heard it and shouted loudly in unison.

Before they knelt down, they thought that this move would make the orthodox emperor angry, but they thought that their behavior was a righteous act of loyalty and patriotism, so they did not take life and death to heart.

But now Li Yuntian's words regarded them as forcing the palace to admonish, and he also offended the orthodox emperor, which was different from what they thought before, and they naturally felt panicked in their hearts.
