When the prince was brought from the Taimiao Temple to the Fengtian Temple, he still did not come to his senses, and he was paralyzed in front of the steps, and finally was straightened by Chen Hong and sat on the couch, but his eyes were still dull, and his body trembled from time to time.

Regardless of whether he participated in the rebellion of King Qi or not, even if he didn't, with his current appearance, Baiguan no longer felt that he could take on the heavy responsibility of the world.

Xia Yan shook his head and sighed: "This is not the appearance of a human king. Attracted the approval of hundreds of officials, and this sentence decided the fate of the prince.

First of all, Qianxun Daotong went to the palace to deal with it, saying that he was assigned by the Son of Heaven to set up an ambush and assassinate Abbot Zhao in Zhoushan five days ago; Zhang Juzheng, the chief secretary of the Zhan Mansion, testified that after the prince entered the East Palace, he had close contacts with the King of Qi; and then the female officials of the East Palace saw with their own eyes that on the day of the mutiny, the prince invited Duan Chaoyong to the Taimiao for the palace envoy of the Manifestation Palace; later, there was even a late cabinet scholar Yang Yiqing's house in the middle of the house to break the news that the Tongda gambling house, which had caused a lot of uproar before, was actually an industry under the name of the prince......

At this point, there is no need to say anything more, now everyone is looking at Zhao Ran, waiting for Zhao Ran to say that sentence.

But Zhao Ran didn't want to say it, he said: "Such a major military matter, not a poor person can decide, respectfully ask the court to decide." ”

Xia Yan said: "What the abbot means is the court discussion, but after the court discussion, the abbot still needs to decide." ”

There are two kinds of court councils in the Ming Dynasty, one is the minister's court and the other is the ministerial council. There is no need to elaborate on the ministerial meeting, it is nothing more than the affairs of which part is involved, and the ministry will convene the relevant people and others to discuss. The court meeting mentioned here is the big court meeting, that is, the cabinet ministers, the nine secretaries, and the six sections are in charge of the matter, and the supervision of the imperial history.

The court discussion is the practice of the Ming Dynasty, and many major matters need to be discussed by the court, but Xia Yan is right, even after the court discussion, the result needs to be reported to the Son of Heaven for approval, and the Son of Heaven does not approve it, so it can still be dismissed.

Zhao Ran said: "Today's emperor is in a big deal, I think that the result of the court meeting can replace the edict." ”

This sentence moved all the officials, and Xia Yan tried to ask: "What does the abbot mean, the result of the court meeting is the final result?"

"Yes. ”

"If the outcome of the court meeting is not in line with the Son of Heaven...... Well, if it doesn't meet the expectations of the Daomen, so what?"

"Then you have to think about it, why does the result of the court discussion have to go against the expectations of the Daomen?"

Yan Song couldn't help but say, "Abbot, if an edict is issued based on the results of the court discussion, what if there is an accident?"

Zhao Ran said: "Of course, who convenes the court meeting, who will be responsible, if there is a business trip, the board will hit the person who convened the court meeting." ”

The officials continued to ponder......

Zhao Ran said: "Regarding the court discussion, there are a few simple views on the poor road for the gentlemen's reference.

First, non-cabinet scholars are not allowed to convene a meeting, and the order of the conveners is to begin with the first and second members according to the custom.

Second, the scope of ministers participating in the court meeting needs to form a clear system, such as the cabinet scholars, the six Shangshu, the two imperial histories of the Imperial Inspectorate, the five temple Zhengqing, the general political envoy, the master of the Hanlin Academy, the Guozi Priest, the Ying Tianfu Yin, the Wenchang Guan Supervision Yuan, the Zhangdaolu secretary, and the celebrant palm seal, well, the above twenty-six positions, are eligible to participate in the court meeting.

Third, when the court is convened, vote on major matters according to the number of votes, do not make generalities, and need results, just like the True Master's Hall.

Fourth, who convenes the court meeting is directly responsible for the outcome of the court meeting, and if something goes wrong, the board hits the convener.

Fifth, the rules of the court are eternal.

Okay, think about it, today's court meeting will first discuss the proposal of disagreeing with the poor road, if you agree, then discuss the question of the prince, if you don't agree, then say another. Poor Dao took a step further, first blasted away unrelated people for you, and before the result of the court meeting came out, they all waited outside the palace, including Poor Dao. Those who stay in the palace are the ministers of the poor Dao just now, so be it. ”

The hundred officials looked at each other, some of them were fast-paced, they had already left the Fengtian Hall in advance, and they were waiting outside the hall Even Zhao Ran said that he was waiting outside, who was embarrassed to play tricks inside.

Zhao Ran said to Gu Tengjia: "Gu Prison Yuan, just work hard for your drive." ”

Gu Tengjia said: "You didn't participate yourself, but you pushed it on me." ”

Zhao Ran said: "I'm just the deputy seal of the Daolu Division, don't we have to pay attention to the rules in everything." ”

Gu Tengjia pointed at Zhao Ran and smiled: "You, okay, you go, I'll show you here." ”

When he was about to leave the palace, Zhao Ran turned around and said to Xia Yan and the others: "I suddenly remembered that there has been no one in the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, Xia Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao, and Poor Dao proposed that Chen Hong, the internal official supervisor, participate in the court discussion for the time being and represent the inner court. Okay?"

The three cabinet scholars all gave up their hands to indicate that there was no problem, Chen Hong listened, blood gushed upward, his face was swollen red, and he felt so happy that he was going to die in an instant, and all the risks and grievances before were rewarded at this moment.

Zhao Ran walked out of the Fengtian Palace, let them discuss it on their own inside, and after a general glance, most of the people retreated from the hall, and they didn't leave, just waited outside. There are only seventeen people left in the palace, and nine positions are either vacant and unmanned, or they simply can't come, such as Zhang Cong, the secretary of the military department.

Zhao Ran looked at the group of officials outside, no matter where his gaze swept, people would nod to him and arch their hands, as if everyone's eyes were swirling around him, except for two people, Huo Tao and Gui Cao.

Huo Tao and Gui Cao were slowly approaching Zhang Xuan, and from the fists they clenched, they knew what they wanted to do when they approached Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan didn't notice it, looked at Zhao Ran from time to time, and bowed his head from time to time and was silent.

Zhao Ran didn't have time to deal with them, turned around and went to the Taimiao again, but just told Zhang Luo to guard the palace gate and be optimistic about the Fengtian Temple.

The teacher and the teacher were still looking at the white marble lotus, thinking about ways to break this big array, and Zhao Ran also joined in to discuss it. I don't know how long it took, the sunset in the sky was blooming, and it was already dusk.

The consensus reached by the two formation masters after studying is that the white marble table rosette, which is the eye of the array, is not an ordinary array eye, but an array eye within the array eye.

That is to say, the eye of the great array is the entire imperial city, the eye of the imperial city is the Taimiao, and the eye of the Taimiao is the rosette. This is a formation within a formation, and the three-level large array is interlocking and closely related.

Therefore, all their ideas about breaking the formation are facing a difficult problem, and it is very likely that when the big formation is broken, it will cause very strong consequences. What kind of consequences will be, Zhao Ran can't predict now, but the scope of his estimate is to affect the entire capital. And the range prediction given by Zhao Liniang will affect the entire Ying Tianfu.

As for how to break the formation, they also discussed a preliminary method, which was very simple, that is, to forcibly destroy the white marble lotus seat in the formation eye. As for how much strength is needed to destroy the array eye, Jiang Tenghe also made an assessment: three refining voids.
