In the Ming Dynasty, the Sun Dynasty was divided into the Morning Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty. Because it was often held at several important palace gates, it was also called "The Imperial Gate to Obey the Government".

According to the "History of Ming Dynasty", the emperor held a morning dynasty at Fengtianmen of the imperial palace in the early Ming Dynasty; in the seventh year of Yongle, Chengzu visited Beijing, and since then, he often held a morning dynasty at the inner palace of Youshunmen of the imperial palace. The Wu Dynasty was mostly held at Zuoshunmen of the imperial palace.

The three halls are now destroyed and have not been repaired, so there is no Fengtian Gate, only Ganqing Gate, Zuoshun Gate and Youshun Gate.

The dynasty is usually held during the dynasty, the Winter Solstice and the Holy Birthday Festival, which is a ritual meeting.

The Chang Dynasty is divided into the New Year and Sun Dynasty. The New Year and Sun Dynasty is usually held on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it is also a court meeting of etiquette; the Sun Dynasty is the court meeting where the emperor truly handles government affairs.

Since the emperor changed the time and location of the Japanese and Korean Dynasties and set the rules for the seven days and six dynasties, he has a good abide by it and never has a time when he does not attend court.

Today is May 15th. It was supposed to be a polite new year and night, but it was covered with a heavy shadow because of the affairs of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen.

The emperor not only set the Ri Dynasty at the Ganqing Palace Gate, but also set the time to an unchanged time. Such a setting may show the emperor's anger and insist on tormenting officials and honorary relatives once.

So, the ministers who were used to getting up late and court at night had to get up at midnight, packed up and gathered at the Meridian Gate. At about three o'clock in the morning, the ministers arrived outside the Meridian Gate to wait.

Although the weather has become warmer, it can get up earlier than the chickens, so you have to gather, queue up, and wait. It is really tiring after several hours of tossing.

It’s still dark, and it’s still a bit difficult to see people’s faces without using lanterns and candlelight.

I don’t know if it was a problem of light or a real dark face. Anyway, British Duke Zhang Weixian looked like he was just depressed and his ministers greeted him, but he just responded absent-mindedly perfunctorily.

Not only him, but also few of them were happy. They were almost worried and bored.

Anyone with a heart can guess the reason. Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, was sentenced to prison and his house was sealed. This has a huge psychological blow to the honors and relatives of the capital.

"If Zhu Chunchen randomly slandered, we will suffer an unjust injustice, and we hope that the Duke will speak for justice." Linhuai Marquis Li Hongji approached Zhang Weixian, bowed his hand, and said in a low voice.

Zhang Weixian smiled bitterly and said, "If he makes a false accusation, he will be unable to protect himself. How can he speak up for justice?"

Li Hongji widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Can he also walk around with the Duke of the State to incite and incite?"

Zhang Weixian snorted and said unhappily: "Li Housing Shenyan. He came to a certain mansion just to walk around normally, how can he incite?"

Oh, Li Hongji felt that he was speechless and sighed helplessly and depressedly, shook his head and walked away.

Obviously, these nobles were all afraid. Zhu Chunchen did walk around many people, but he was just thinking about resisting the separation of emperor, officials and businessmen, and most of them had not agreed.

But the emperor will care about you? Zhu Chunchen was sent to the imperial prison. Where is it? What kind of confession do you want will not get?

Although these nobles were dissatisfied with the emperor's reform, no one was afraid of pursuing rebellion and rebellion. They were all wealthy people, and they were killed and killed in the whole family. Is that fun?

Everyone knows that the emperor valued factory guards, and had a strong ear and ears, and had a bit of Taizu's legacy. Well, now I vaguely saw the fate of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others.

It is said that your treason is a treason. As long as the emperor sets a down-to-earth, someone will find a lot of evidence of crimes below, such as astrological abnormalities, such as...

The third round of drums rang out, and two doors were opened first, and the officials and military flag schools were placed first. The generals on duty and the guards walked in one after another with their staff, with bright helmets and bright armors and neatly arranged.

Seeing this normal ceremony, the nobles couldn't help but feel chilled. If the emperor was determined to attack the nobles, this court would probably be the last time he had lived.

Zhu Chunchen is really a bastard. He just wants money but not life. Why should he pull us into the water? Many nobles secretly gritted their teeth and regretted that they were beaten with sticks when Zhu Chunchen came to visit.

Compared to the unrest of the nobles and uneasy, the civil servants are very calm. I have been used to waiting at the Meridian Gate before, so I am "waiting for leaks".

The officials were talking in groups of three or three, not too serious and treacherous.

The emperor relaxed the etiquette of the court meeting. As a preferential treatment for his close ministers, he also set up a special direct room in the Duanmen for the Grand Secretary and the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers to wait for the court.

It is both kind and powerful, or big stick carrots. Zhu Youxiao is becoming more and more handy when using it.

Becoming an "Imperial Party" has a bright future! With this move, you can suppress the vested interest groups tightly.

The Donglin Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party, except for some leaders, actually have no exact definition or boundaries. More officials just follow the wind and go closer to the faction.

Zhu Youxiao doesn’t care whether the officials have a firm character. As long as you listen to the emperor and implement the policies promulgated by the emperor or the court in place, it’s OK!

This is also the purpose of his goal to establish a new school and train new officials. He does not require you to be knowledgeable and speak in a good way. As long as you know the text and write well, as long as you perform well, you will be a good official.

But Zhu Youxiao also knew very well that no matter how you expand the way to enter the officialdom, you must never abolish the imperial examination. This is a big issue related to social stability. Who made so many people wait for this list of titles?

Not to mention the officials and honorary relatives who were "waiting to leak" at the Meridian Gate, the protagonist of today's court meeting, Emperor Zhu Youxiao, had just gotten up and changed clothes and washed up under the diligent service of Li Chengcheng.

When he knew that he would get up early today, Zhu Youxiao had to work harder while he was troubled by his ministers. So he didn't go to the concubine's palace and slept in the East Nuan Pavilion.

Wen Xiang's body was tightly pressed against him, and Li Chengcheng hugged the emperor's waist and tied his belt.

It is easy to get impulsive in the morning. Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Zifu got together like that. Zhu Youxiao also felt it and reached out to hug Li Chengcheng.

"The Emperor——" Li Chengcheng called softly shyly, and then his mouth was blocked.

After a while, the emperor let go of the blushing girl and gasping for a while, he reluctantly moved away from his delicate body.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly sorted out his messy clothes and looked shy, which made Zhu Youxiao laugh.

He was in a good mood, yes, the emperor was very happy. Because of Li Chengcheng's righteous plea, Fan Xiaohui was kept, which also made Zhu Youxiao feel that the destiny of heaven was destined.

In history, the little carpenter had seven or eight wives, and Fan Xiaohui was one of them. He was also named the Imperial Concubine because of his son and a daughter.

Unfortunately, Princess Zhu Shu'e of Yongning and Prince Zhu Ciyan died young, and Concubine Fan Hui was betrayed by Keshi and fell out of favor.

According to historical books, after Concubine Fan Hui fell out of favor, because Concubine Li Cheng and Concubine Fan Hui were having a good relationship, the carpenter was favoring Concubine Li Cheng. When Concubine Li Cheng was serving in bed, she pleaded with Concubine Fan Hui.

So, Concubine Fan Hui got another chance to serve her. After Wei Zhongxian and Keshi learned about this, they were very angry and imprisoned her.

Zhu Youxiao knew that history could not be trusted, but Li Chengcheng and Fan Xiaohui were good friends, which was in line with history.

Fan Xiaohui was expelled from the palace because her ancestors had an official position. Wang Tigan would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. If he was suspected, he would be expelled from the inner palace.

Now, Zhu Youxiao has collected another wife and stayed in the Ganqing Palace to serve. There are already six, and I can summon it to the top seven...

The fragrant breath came to my face, and the crown that Li Chengcheng put on the emperor also looked left and right to see if it was correct.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, reached out to tease the girl's chin, then straightened her back, her face was full of majesty, and walked out.

Wang Tigan led the palace servants to wait outside the hall. Lu Jianxing and several guards were also preparing to stop. When he saw the emperor coming out, he would pay homage to him.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, walked to the imperial chariot, served by the palace servants, sat on the top ancient "Rolls-Royce" and headed towards the Ganqing Gate.

At around five o'clock in the morning, the Meridian Gate opened and the officials began to enter the palace. The civil servants entered from the left ye gate and the military officers entered from the right ye gate. First, they arranged in a good order according to the grades south of the Jinshui Bridge.

After the whip, all the officials crossed the bridge in turn and arrived at the Danban in Ganqingmen. The civil servants were the left rank and the military officers were the right rank. They set up marquis on the imperial road in the two strategies, which was called "living".

When he entered the palace, the etiquette became stricter. There was a censor responsible for the inspection and supervising him. Anyone who had coughing, spitting, crowding or disorganized manner would be recorded and waited for treatment.

There is an imperial seat in the middle of the upper corridor of Ganqing Gate, called "Jintai".

On the left and right are the bands of the bell and drums, and there are "Great Han Generals" in the gate of the Palace. They are wearing full armor. Guards stand with swords on the left and right of the imperial road and behind civil and military officials.

In fact, the New Year and New Year cannot be called a grand ceremony. No matter the number of participants or the cumbersome etiquette, they are far inferior to those.

However, during the sensitive period when Zhu Chunchen was imprisoned, the emperor seemed to attach great importance to it, and this court meeting seemed very different.

At this time, the bell and drums played the music and the emperor arrived at the Imperial Gate.

First, the Jinyiwei Lisz held five umbrella covers and four rounds of fans, climbed onto the Danbao from the east and west sides, and stood on the left and right behind the imperial seat.

Then, two inner envoys, one of them held an umbrella and stood on the seat, the other one held a "martial arts", and two fans, standing in the middle behind the seat.

The emperor raised his seat with a serious expression, and the sound of whips sounded again. The civil and military squads on both sides advanced into the imperial road. The Duke, Mausoleum, and Bo Zicheng formed a squad, and lived in front of the military officer squad and left a little.

After the ministers paid a visit, officials from Honglu Temple took the time to report to the emperor that they had entered Beijing and resigned.

If the emperor wants to summon him, then he will go to the palace to meet him first; if the emperor does not see him, he will perform five bows and three bows in the courtyard or outside the meridian gate, which is the end.

To his ministers' surprise, Zhu Youxiao summoned all the officials who entered Beijing to thank him and left Beijing to resign. This was a great surprise for officials who did not have much hope.

It was a bit abnormal! Xunqi, who was already nervous, began to suspicion again, and even felt that the sword-bearing guard behind him had the meaning of an executioner.

The court meeting followed the process one by one, and finally entered the most important link (the news).

But the most important part is that no one is on duty. Originally, the New Year and Night Dynasties had a ritual nature, but there were many people, but it was not as easy as the Chang Dynasty only had a small number of important officials participating, and the memorial was submitted.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care and his eyes turned to Xunqi, which was so cold that it was shocking.

"Duke of England." Zhu Youxiao raised his voice and called out, "Go forward and answer."

British Duke Zhang Weixian felt a sudden blow, paused for a moment, and then left the class and knelt down and kowtow, "I'm here."

Zhu Youxiao stared for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "Now, Zhu Chunchen came to your house and had a secret conversation with you for a long time. I want to know, what have you all said?"

This wording is already a very severe accusation. Secret talk, conspiracy and intrigue, just one word can reveal the emperor's suspicion and the severity of the crime if it is confirmed.

Zhang Weixian hurriedly kowtowed deeply and opened his mouth to defend himself: "Long live the remarks. Zhu Chunchen visited the Weichen's house. Weichen was treated with normal etiquette and did not discuss anything in secret."

After pausing, Zhang Weixian added: "Zhu Chunchen really complained about the policies imposed by the court, and wanted to invite the ministers to resist together, but they were sternly rejected by the ministers. The ministers also advised him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism and not to mislead the overall situation of the country because of some money. What the ministers said was the truth, and they dare not hide it at all. I hope they will be clear."

Until now, Zhang Weixian and others didn't know what Zhu Chunchen had committed. Or what crime the emperor was going to use to punish him.

Therefore, they could not talk nonsense, but instead brought themselves to blame.

For example, if you scold Zhu Chunchen for treason, are you one of them? Why did Zhu Chunchen come to your house for? Why did you not report it if you know it?

Zhu Youxiao was silent, tapping his fingers gently on the armrest of the imperial throne, examining Zhang Weixian, as if he was identifying what he said was somewhat credible.

Zhang Weixian did not dare to look up, but could feel the emperor's suspicious eyes. The weather was not very hot, but the dignified British Duke broke out in cold sweat.

After a while, the emperor's words echoed in the hall, "The Duke of England returned to his house to reflect on himself. If you think of something about Zhu Chunchen, you will report it truthfully."

"I obey the order." Zhang Weixian kowtowed again and stood up and returned to work.

There is no punishment for the time being, but the emperor's suspicion is not resolved. Returning to the house to reflect on himself means surveillance of residence, and the final result may also depend on the confession of Zhu Chunchen in the imperial prison.

"Linhuai Hou." Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xunqi and shouted again.

"I am here." Linhuai Marquis Li Hongji hurried out of duty and knelt down, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zhu Youxiao asked in a deep voice: "On a certain day, Zhu Chunchen gathered with you to drink. When it comes to the court's policies, how did he say about me?"

Li Hongji thought for a moment and kowtowed, "Zhu Chunchen was crazy and perverse, and Weichen rebuked him at that time. For such despicable and shameless people, Weichen failed to report to the emperor. He is guilty, guilty!"

Absurd and chaotic? Can't this be more specific?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Hongji and blinked slowly, thinking that this guy was also quite powerful.

Li Hongji's arguments seemed to have added charges to Zhu Chunchen, but he confessed that he could not report it in time, but these were all trivial and could not condemn his serious crime.

Zhu Youxiao didn't actually want to promote the prison. He only wanted to beat these honorary relatives while taking advantage of the New Year and New Year meeting.
