The next day, it was just dawn.

The Ming Dynasty Palace, outside Fengtianmen.

There were about 500 civil and military officials in total, and they had already lined up a long line. After waiting for the "three-way drum", they entered.

Today is the fourth day. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a situation where the morning court has not opened for four consecutive days.

While waiting, many officials have begun to whisper.

The scale of more than 500 people looks extremely large, and this is because Zhu Yuanzhang killed too many ministers a few years ago.

Like the Minister of Rites, no one has succeeded him yet, and there are more vacant positions in other positions.

After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, he was most worried about being deceived, so the current morning court stipulated that all personnel in Beijing must participate.

Even officials who return to Beijing to report their duties must participate in the morning court.

Those who are late or not will be impeached. At the least, they will be fined, and at the worst, they will be fined at the top of the thirty.

In addition, the court meeting has strict requirements on etiquette, and the court meeting is also an important ceremony for establishing the emperor's majesty in front of ministers in terms of etiquette.

After the three-way drum, outside the Fengtian Gate, all civil and military officials entered from the left and right side doors in turn.

After passing Fengtian Gate, Fengtian Hall is here.

The Fengtian Hall is covered with glazed gold tiles, double eaves and heavy ridges, carved beams and painted corridors, and doors and windows with red paint and gold-painted carved flowers shine in the sun, which is commonly known as the "Golden Palace".

The gate of Fengtian Hall was closed, and several eunuchs from the Silijian were waiting outside the door.

This is the time to wait for the emperor.

As before, even if Your Majesty is not here, you have to wait for a stick of incense before the eunuch of the Sili Priest will announce your retreat.

However, the ministers felt much more relaxed before going to the morning court for four days, but almost everyone had a backlog of memorials.

All the current big and small things are determined by Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and four days are enough to delay many things.

Just when the ministers of the Hou Dynasty thought that today was another day when they would not attend court.

In Fengtian Palace, a majestic voice came: "Xuan!"

As the sound rang out, the main entrance of the hall opened, and the eunuch Liu He, the chief of the Secretariat, walked out of the inside and said in a long voice: "Your Majesty has an order, all the ministers will come to court!"

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked. At this time, the eunuch on duty outside Fengtian Hall opened the left and right side doors.

All civil and military officials entered in small steps. When passing by the door, they would put the memorials prepared in their sleeves into the basket prepared by the eunuchs.

When he was behind the palace and when he left the line to report the memorial, the eunuch would hand it over to the emperor.

At the front door, Liu He looked straight, his head held high and his chest was raised, and quietly waited for all the officials to enter.

After all the officials entered, they turned back to the hall.

The part of Liu He returning to the palace is extremely particular. He first takes small steps and quickly enters. After almost reaching the standing position, his pace will slow down.

The moment he turned around.

The ministers bowed their heads again and again, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

"You guys are calm!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne of Jintai, and the eunuchs from the Silijian quickly prepared the memorial.

"We have gone to some important things these days, and the morning court has been delayed for a few days. We want to see if we are gone, so the ministers will be lazy. Liu He!"

"I'm here!"

"Check it out for us, whether all the ministers are here today."

"I obey the order!"

At the order of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu He and several eunuchs immediately began to check the number of people in the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang never relaxed when he was late and had not arrived.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, "We're here, what reason can you not be there?"

Fortunately, the ministers were cautious and walking on thin ice, and did not dare to make any trouble because they had not attended court for four days.

"Report to your Majesty, all the ministers have been included in the list."

Hearing Liu He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, then start to report the report."

As Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking.

Some of the ministers below came out: "Report to your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

"Speak!"

............

Outside the East Palace Gate,

Zhu Yunwen stood at the door, looked towards Fengtian Palace, and sighed softly.

Since he was declared the crown prince, Zhu Yunwen has been qualified to participate in the government affairs.

However, this qualification was notified by the Silijian half a month ago that the emperor's grandson was young and should be the priority of studying, and the qualification for the government was dismissed.

Of course, this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with Zhu An, but because Zhu Yunwen's handling of several political affairs in the early court made Zhu Yuanzhang a little dissatisfied.

This made Zhu Yunwen go back and study more.

"Mr. Huang, how long will it take for the Emperor to allow me to participate in the government again?" Zhu Yunwen said yearningly.

"Don't worry, with Mr. Xizhi's teachings, it won't take long to make your high-level knowledge more profound. When His Majesty takes the exam, he will definitely be able to look at him with admiration."

"It was at that time that your highness would enter the court again." Huang Zicheng said confidently.

I set off yesterday morning and returned to the palace almost dusk.

During this period, Zhu Yunwen was discussing Confucianism with Fang Xiaoru.

Before leaving, Huang Zicheng quietly asked Fang Xiaoru what he thought of His Highness. As expected, Fang Xiaoru was extremely satisfied with His Highness.

Huang Zicheng believed that with the help of Confucian scholars like Fang Xiaoru who even praised His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince will have great improvement in all aspects.

He is loved by His Majesty.

"I heard the eunuchs say yesterday that Grandpa of the Emperor had an order to go to Shangyiguan to prepare a new robe." Zhu Yunwen smiled with a smile on his lips, as if he was talking about this matter unintentionally, but his face was a little proud.

How could Huang Zicheng not understand this?

After all, His Royal Highness, who is currently in his teens, is inevitably a little proud after knowing some things.

Huang Zicheng flattered and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, this must be the robes that Your Highness is preparing for the September enthronement for Your Highness."

"Recently, I heard from your Majesty that I seem to have found several extremely important crops with amazing yields."

"It is said that the yield per mu is as large as a thousand kilograms. That's why Your Majesty ignores His Highness a little."

"Now that government affairs have been completed, I still think of Your Highness in my heart."

Huang Zicheng also heard about high-yield crops, but when he talked about this, he made a joke.

He then told Zhu Yunwen about the matter outside the palace.

A few days ago, Your Majesty summoned five ministers to the palace, but it was extremely difficult to convey information inside and outside the palace.

This led to several family members of the Shangshu family mistakenly thinking that they were sentenced to death by His Majesty.

After waiting for two days, there was no news, so the funeral was held directly.

The coffin was ready, and the corpse was just waiting for it to be sent back, and then it was buried.

Because they were five current ministers and even several senior ministers were killed together, this led to a great momentum.

When the Shangshu and the Grand Secretary came home, they found that the banquet was ready.

Just wait for the meal.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he did not laugh, but instead felt a little compassionate.

In Zhu Yunwen's opinion, these jokes about the king and his subjects were caused by the emperor's grandfather's excessive killing.

It’s just that as a grandson, he follows Confucian etiquette and law, and he must not talk about his elders behind his back, so he keeps talking.
