Jingyang Bell is the bell for court. Once the bell is ringed, all officials will enter the palace to attend court. Generally, Jingyang Bells will ring on the morning of the day of court meeting, but if there is any urgent matter, you can also ring the bell to call the court meeting. For example, after Tumu Fort, the Ola besieged Beijing City, and the Jingyang Bell will ring at night. But now Beijing has been peaceful for a long time, and suddenly ringing the Jingyang Bell will definitely shake the capital when it is not a court meeting.

Wei Zhongxian was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't ring the Jingyang Bell easily. Jingyang Bell is a big deal, but only a big deal will be ringed. If the Jingyang Bell is easily ringed, public opinion will affect the emperor's reputation."

"After compiling more than a dozen textbooks in a month, paving the way for educating officials. How is it not an urgent matter or a major matter? This time, I have finalized the Jingyang Zhong. I don't believe it anymore. I don't even have lunch. I'm busy with the government. Everyone can pick my fault."

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was firm in his attitude, Wei Zhongxian no longer dissuaded him and thought about how to deal with the aftermath.

Emperor Tianqi's words reminded him that tomorrow's "(Dibao) supplement" can publish the emperor's concerns about state affairs and even eats lunch, so he convenes a court meeting to create a big positive image for the emperor. Didn't the ancients say that Zhou Gong vomits food and the world returns to his heart? What's the difference between the emperor's bell ringing Jingyang this time and Zhou Gong?

After Emperor Tianqi finished writing the last stroke of the word "enemy", Wei Zhongxian picked up the paper, blew the ink dry, folded it, and put it away.

Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm: "Let's go, go to Jingyangzhong."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At noon on March 22, the third year of the Apocalypse, the streets of Beijing were still peaceful, and suddenly the loud and long bell of "Dangdang" came from the direction of the Forbidden City.

When the first bell rang, the people still suspected that they had heard it wrong. It was not the New Year or the Festival, and it was not the time to go to court. What should I do if I ring the Jingyang bell? Although Liaodong is quite chaotic, it is quite far from Beijing and I can't beat it for a while.

When the commander of the Five City Military Commander heard the bell, he was so scared that he quickly put on his armor and came to the city gate, and ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to close the Beijing city gate and the Wengcheng city gate. The soldiers of the Five City Military Commander were bowed and unsheathed, and guarded the city tower, looking like they were facing a great enemy. The Jingyang bell must have happened. No matter what, guard the city gate first.

When the people saw the city gates closed and knew that something was wrong, those who lived in Beijing went home one after another. Those who did not live in Beijing either went to visit relatives and friends, or went to inns to find a house. In just a moment, the bustling city of Beijing became silent.

The office addresses of ministers who are eligible to attend the court meeting are usually next to the Forbidden City. When the bell rings, they hear it and put on their official robes and prepare to attend the court meeting.

When they entered the Huangji Palace, all the officials found that Emperor Tianqi had already been waiting for them in the palace. Gu Bingqian, Sun Chengzong, Wen Donglai and other six cabinet masters were accompanying each other, but the six people also looked confused. Everyone quickly understood that ringing the Jingyang Bell this time was not the idea of ​​the cabinet masters.

After the ministers shouted long live, Wen Donglai came out to speak out and said, "Your Majesty, who rings the Jingyang Bell, what happened?"

"Oh, I ordered someone to knock this Jingyang Bell. I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you very much and want to see you."

The ministers almost fell down and rang the Jingyang Bell in order to see us. Don’t you know that Jingyang Bell cannot be ringed randomly? Now the city of Beijing is in chaos, and it is the Jingyang Bell that is the alarm.

The six cabinet masters who could get to the most powerful position in the Ming Dynasty were all talented. They knew that the emperor was just an excuse. They did not hurry to go out to sing the opposite tune, but just watched the changes.

However, several censors were not cunning enough, and could not hold back, so they jumped out and accused Emperor Tianqi of not ringing the Jingyang bell randomly and destroying the system of the court meeting.

Emperor Tianqi was instilled in the darkness of Zhu Youcheng every day, and his face was very well-educated. After listening to the censor's accusations sincerely, he said, "Your dear ministers are right. I am very satisfied with your attitude of firmly defending the system of the court meeting. However, this time, ringing the Jingyang bell was not for the court meeting, but for I want to meet some ministers. You are not the ministers I want to meet, please go out."

As soon as Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian signaled the Jinyiwei who was on duty in the hall, two of them served one, and dragged them out of the Huangji Palace.

Gu Bingqian is the chief minister of the cabinet, that is, the head of the civil servant. Even if he is more inclined to Emperor Tianqi, he will have to leave his class to say a few words at this time, otherwise he will be shameless to lead the people again in the future.

"The emperor, never killed the censors in all dynasties. Although these censors have a fierce speech, the truth is always correct. The emperor must not block the way of speech."

"Gu Aiqing, when did I say I want to kill a few of them? I said that this time it was not a court meeting, but a person I wanted to meet, and if I didn't want to see, I would invite him back. It's very simple that there will be a grand court meeting tomorrow, and they will go to court to see me. This is also called blocking the way of speech?"

When the ministers heard this, they dared not accuse Emperor Tianqi of being absurd. The emperor did not beat or scold him, but just defined himself as an unpopular person and went outside the hall. He stood on the ground wherever he said he would go. Now he was fighting with the emperor, which felt a little boring.

Emperor Tianqi said, "Since everyone likes to see me, I like to see you too. No one has had lunch, and I have not eaten either. I can't go back for a while, so let's eat in the palace. Today, our monarch and ministers are having fun together."

When the officials heard that they could not go back for a while, they knew that there must be something to discuss, and the obstacles to discussing were quite high. It seems that if they did not agree with the emperor's request today, no one could go home.

Emperor Tianqi Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I have been thinking hard recently and wrote a poem. Please give me some appreciation."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian took out the piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Gu Bingqian.

Gu Bingqian recognized the handwriting of Emperor Tianqi. After just one look, he recognized that the words on the paper were indeed Tianqi's handbook. After only two lines, Gu Bingqi's hand began to tremble. The officials couldn't help but look at Gu Bingqi's actions, and the flattery was too obvious. Everyone knows the cultural level of Emperor Tianqi. Would you say that you were so excited to write a wrong poem?

After reading this poem, Gu Bingqian handed it to Sun Chengzong. The same goes for Sun Chengzong. After reading it for a few sentences, his face changed. After reading this poem, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Okay! If you watch such a good lyric, you will be very clear."

All officials couldn't help feeling itchy. Wen Donglai knew the psychology of all officials. After taking the handwritten letter from Emperor Tianqi, he read it loudly: "Man Jianghong

In the little Liaodong, a few flies hit the wall. They buzzed, shrill, and sobbed a few times. Ants were stalking around the locustard country, and how could they be easy to shake the trees? It was the west wind and the leaves fell down in Chang'an, and the flying whistle was whistle.

How many things are always urgent; the world turns, time is forcing. Ten thousand years is too long, and we can only seize the day. The four seas are tumbling, clouds and water are angry, and the five continents are shaking, and the wind and thunder are surging. We must eliminate all harmful insects and be invincible."

Wen Donglai's voice fell, and the Golden Palace was silent. All civil and military officials were shocked by this song "Manjianghong". Only the emperor could write such a majestic lyric, and only the emperor could wear it.

Everyone was savoring for a long time and couldn't help but praise: "Okay!"

Then, all the civil and military officials came out to praise the emperor's good lyrics. For a moment, the hall was flattering.

At this moment, the imperial kitchen brought lunch. The lunch was very rich, but everyone was a little tasteless because everyone knew that the emperor invited them to come not as simple as enjoying poetry and eating. The key thing was later.

Sure enough, when the eunuch removed the leftovers, Emperor Tianqi said: "My dear friends, since I marked the Taimiao out of the Forbidden City and allowed the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty to visit, I clearly felt that the cohesion of the Ming Dynasty had increased."

All the officials knelt down and said, "The emperor is wise."

"However, when I missed the late emperor, it was a little trouble. I had to clean the streets first and then bring a full set of ceremonial guards to the Taimiao. It was a waste of my time and was very disturbing to the people. I was very uneasy. Therefore, I was preparing to imitate the old system of the Song Dynasty. In order to commemorate Emperor Taizong, the Song Dynasty built the Longtu Pavilion and collected items related to Taizong. I will build the Longtu Pavilion near the Qianqing Palace, not only to put the items related to Emperor Zhen of Guangzong and Emperor Shenzong Xian, but also to put all the items related to Emperor Gaozu, Chengzu and other ancestors. In this way, I will go from time to time to remember these emperors who made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty."
