Chapter 169: Summoning the Golden Luan Hall (Second Watch)

Perhaps because of the providence in the dark, Cui Hui and Han Liang served as the noon gate guards of this court meeting, responsible for supervising the officials entering and leaving the noon gate. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.

Originally, the person sent by the lieutenant of Daming Gate was the first to meet Cui Hui, and briefly explained the situation, hoping that Cui Hui could go to recognize people and see if the person who had a conflict with Lu Tianxing was the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As soon as Cui Hui heard that it was related to Lu Tianxing, he went straight to find an excuse to shirk it, in his opinion, the person who used the tricks of the next three indiscriminate tricks to sprinkle Lu Tianxing's lime powder would definitely not be the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he must have taken the opportunity to call him over and let him be his master, so as not to be bullied by Lu Tianxing, he was full of food and went to take care of Lu Tianxing's affairs.

Seeing this situation, the people sent by the commander had to go to find Han Liang, Han Liang inquired carefully, and felt that something was wrong, so he went to Daming Gate, and met Li Yuntian.

If the person who went out was Cui Hui, then the history of the Ming Dynasty might have to be rewritten......

Just when Cui Hui was standing there in a daze, a large group of pro-soldiers rushed over and slowly closed the city gate that was open at noon.

Cui Hui looked at the gradually closing city gate with a blank expression, cold sweat rolling down his cheeks, as if he saw that the gate of his career was closed.

Out of the door of the left door, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, and the first thing that appeared in front of Li Yuntian and Lei Ting was the vast Taihedian Square.

At this moment, the Taihedian Square was crowded with people, and there was no sound.

According to the level of rank, it is neatly full of civil and military officials who came to the court, the civil officials stand on the left side of the central imperial road, and the military attache is on the right side of the central imperial road.

Of course, the higher the rank, the higher the position, and the closer to the central palace in the same row, the higher the position.

The magnificent and splendid palace at the other end of the Taihe Palace Square is the Taihe Palace, commonly known as the "Jinluan Palace" among the folks, and those who can enter the Taihe Palace are the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the meritorious magnates.

Looking at the black officials in the square in front of her, Lei Ting felt an unprecedented pressure, it was the first time she had seen so many officials, and the official rank was still above the fifth grade.

After seeing Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, the Jinyi guard standing under the noon gate immediately blocked the way of the two, and with Li Yuntian's official rank, he could not enter the Taihedian Square at all, and the prince did not invite him into the palace to meet him.

"This is Li Yuntian, the superintendent of the Huguang Dao of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, who accompanied the emperor to the north this time, and was ordered by the emperor to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." Seeing this, Han Liang said to the Jinyi guard who was blocking the road with a stern expression.

The brocade guards glanced at each other, then retreated, and watched Li Yuntian leave with a surprised expression, shocked by Li Yuntian's behavior of wrapping a white belt on his head.

At this time, Lei Ting already understood why she had waited outside the Daming Gate for such a long time just now, Daming Gate, Chengtian Gate, and Noon Gate, and she had passed three city gate towers alone along the way.

Looking at the majestic hall in front of her, Lei Ting's heart couldn't help but feel excited, she never thought that she would be able to enter the Jinluan Hall one day, not to mention her, even if these courtiers in the square, not many people were lucky enough to set foot in it, at most they stood outside the palace gate and waited.

Han Liang did not follow the past, but was with those brocade guards under the noon gate, his duty was to guard the noon gate, so naturally he could not leave his guard and enter the Taihedian Square without permission.

Li Yuntian walked along the sidewalk on the left side of the imperial road with his head held high, his right hand holding the yellow brocade cloth, and his face was stern without the slightest expression.

Lei Ting nervously followed behind him, lowering her head, not daring to look at the officials around her, her face flushed from being too excited.

Soon, the civil and military officials on both sides of the central royal road noticed Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, and when they saw that the two of them had white belts wrapped around their heads, they couldn't help but show a surprised look on their faces.

As Li Yuntian and Lei Ting marched, more and more officials noticed the two of them, and they turned their heads to look over, their eyes full of suspicion, and they didn't know what was going on.

No one would have thought that Li Yuntian would bring the news of the death of Emperor Yongle, because the death of the Son of Heaven is a major event of the country, how could he let a six-rank petty official come to report the funeral.

"Who's coming?" When he reached the imperial steps of the Taihe Palace, Li Yuntian was stopped by the brocade guards guarding there.

"This official is the imperial history of Huguang Dao and Li Yuntian, the secretary of the Hanlin Academy, and he has the emperor's order to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Yuntian looked at the Jinyi guard who was blocking him silently, and said in a deep voice.

"Li Yushi!" At this time, a middle-aged official walked over to the side, looking at Li Yuntian's dress in surprise, and finally stopped his gaze on the yellow brocade cloth held high by Li Yuntian, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Lu Yushi, this official wants to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Yuntian said to Lu Zhong quietly, Lu Zhong is the oldest qualified imperial historian of Huguang Road in the Imperial Palace, so he is on duty in front of the Taihe Palace.

"Please come with me." Lu Zhong came back to his senses, waved his hand at the Jinyi guard who was blocking the way, and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Jin Yiwei immediately dodged away and made way for Li Yuntian and Lei Ting to follow Lu Zhong up the imperial steps.

At this moment, many officials in the square noticed this scene and looked at the two of them curiously, and every move in the Taihe Hall would make these officials secretly ponder and figure out.

On the imperial steps, Li Yuntian and Lei Ting stood in the corridor on the left side of the door of the Taihe Palace, waiting, and Lu Zhong whispered something to an attendant standing outside the door.

If a petty official like Li Yuntian wants to enter the Taihe Palace, he must go through the edict of the prince, otherwise he will not be able to enter at all, trespassing in the hall is a capital crime, and the knives on the waists of the guards in front of the palace are not vegetarians, if he is cut down with a knife, he will be wronged.

The attendant outside the hall glanced at Li Yuntian, and then bowed down and entered the hall.

"Shall we see the emperor later?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Ting couldn't help but whisper a question to Li Yuntian, she was extremely excited now.

"Remember, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the main hall now." Hearing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly corrected Lei Ting, and instructed in a low voice, "Wait for the decentralization to be smarter." ”

"Hmm!" Lei Ting stuck out her tongue and nodded hurriedly, she turned her head to look at the civil and military ministers in the square under the imperial steps, and a heroic aura suddenly emerged in her heart, this feeling of looking down on hundreds of officials was really too pleasant.

In the Taihe Palace, the civil and military officials are divided on both sides, the left side is the civil officials, the right side is the royal family, the nobles and the military attachés, a huge hall stands full, there are more than 1,000 people as far as the eye can see.

The reason why the Taihe Hall will be called the Jinluan Hall is because the ground in the hall is paved with 4,718 large gold bricks two feet square, which looks golden and shining, so it is named.

It is worth mentioning that the gold bricks here are not made of gold, but a special kind of brick made in Suzhou, the workmanship is extremely complex, usually a brick takes a year to be fired, it takes a lot of money to complete, so it is called gold bricks.

The emperor's dragon chair, also known as the Nine Dragons Gold Lacquer Throne, is located on a high platform with seven steps and seven large gold lacquer screens carved with cloud dragon patterns behind it.

At this time, the dragon chair was empty, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi sat on a carved rosewood chair under the dragon chair, looking expressionlessly at an official of the Ministry of Industry standing in front of the hall to start playing, and the Ministry of Industry asked for a sum of silver on the grounds of expanding the canal.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were a little erratic, and he seemed absent-minded, he had already arranged to ambush heavy troops in the imperial city, preparing to attack and kill Zhu Gaochu who entered the city.

If he failed, then he and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji and others would rush out of the capital under the escort of the pro-army, go south along the canal and return to Nanjing, and raise troops in Nanjing to attack Zhu Gaoxu.

Although Zhu Gaochi did not want his brothers to kill each other, and the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife, but it was about the dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace, and he had no choice but to do it.

To tell the truth, Zhu Gaochi did not have the certainty of attacking and killing Zhu Gaochu, if he could think of this, then Zhu Gaochu would naturally be able to think that he would definitely be on guard, and he would definitely lead heavy troops into the city at that time.

Not only Zhu Gaochi, but also the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the front rows of the main hall also looked preoccupied, others may not know, but they know very well that the King of Han is about to enter the city with the edict of Emperor Yongle under the escort of heavy soldiers.

At this time, the chamberlain in front of the hall walked in quickly, came to a middle-aged chamberlain standing under the high platform of the dragon chair, leaned over to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

When the middle-aged servant heard this, his face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly went up to the high platform and leaned over to speak to Zhu Gaochi.

"What did you say?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look at the middle-aged waiter and asked.

Hearing his voice, the official of the Ministry of Works, who was lowering his head and playing the report, thought that Zhu Gaochi would say him again, so he immediately stopped, looked up in some panic, and saw that Zhu Gaochi did not look at him, and suddenly felt a burst of doubt in his heart.

The civil and military officials in the main hall were also alarmed by Zhu Gaochi's voice, and looked up at him in unison.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court of Huguang Dao, and the Hanlin Academy's Jishi Li Yuntian are outside the palace to request an audience." The middle-aged waiter replied in a low voice.

"Xuan!" Zhu Gaochi heard it clearly, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and his right hand couldn't help but press the armrest of the seat, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and slowly spit out a word in his mouth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an edict, Xuandu Chayuan Huguang Dao Supervision Imperial History, Hanlin Yuan Jishi Li Yuntian entered the palace to meet him!" When the middle-aged interior heard this, he immediately puffed up his confidence and shouted outside the hall with a sharp voice.

Hearing this, the civil officials, nobles, and royal families standing in the first few rows of the main hall couldn't help but change their faces, and they all turned to look outside the hall gate, no one expected Li Yuntian to appear so suddenly.

The officials standing in the back didn't know what was going on at all, and when they saw this, they also subconsciously turned around and looked over, wondering who Li Yuntian was, and he could actually alarm those high-ranking and powerful ministers in the hall.

"Xuandu Chayuan, Huguang Dao, supervising the imperial history, and Li Yuntian, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, entered the palace to meet you!" When a young attendant standing at the door of the hall heard this, he shook the dust in his hand and shouted in a sharp voice.

"Xuandu Chayuan, Huguang Dao, supervising the imperial history, and Li Yuntian, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, entered the palace to meet you!" Immediately, an attendant standing in front of the imperial steps of the Taihe Hall continued to shout sharply.

"Xuandu Chayuan, Huguang Dao, supervising the imperial history, and Li Yuntian, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, entered the palace to meet you!" Along the royal road in the center of the Taihedian Square, there was an attendant standing at intervals, shouting out the edict announcing Li Yuntian's entry into the palace in turn, so as to ensure that the officials in the entire square could hear it.

If there is a large number of people holding a celebration, and some people participating in the celebration will line up outside the noon gate, then there will be such attendants outside the noon gate, and the edicts on the main hall will be passed down one after another.

Hearing the edict summoning himself into the hall, Li Yuntian exhaled a sigh, held the yellow brocade cloth in his hand, and walked into the hall door with a solemn expression, Lei Ting lowered his head and followed closely behind him, his expression was extremely nervous, and at the same time he felt a trace of inexplicable excitement.
