Chapter 216

After receiving the news, the Ministry of Rites was shocked.

Going to court, Jiajing has not gone to court for eight years, and now he is going to court, and he was notified this afternoon, and he will go to court tomorrow.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites have no choice but to notify immediately.

After Xu Jie and the others received the news, they were also stunned.

Going to court, the emperor is going to go to court, it is not a good signal.

Xu Jie sat in the study thinking about this matter. Since the defeat of the Tatars last year, Jiajing has begun to change.

Before, they hid in the alchemy room and listened to the reports from the cabinet and Jin Yiwei, but now they are about to come out. This is not a good thing for everyone.

They still hope that Jiajing will not go to court, so that they can report to the three of them, and the power of the three of them is really great.

When Jiajing comes out to court, then in the future, those ministers will impeach each other in court, and some things will be put on the bright side.

"Master, Mr. Yan Ge invited you to drink tea at his mansion! Mr. Yan Ge's mansion sent someone to notify you just now!" Xu Jie sat in the study thinking about something, and the butler reported it outside.

"Okay!" Xu Jie nodded and said.

Soon, Xu Jie arrived at Yan Song's house in a sedan chair, and Yan Shifan came to greet him.

"Congratulations to Xu Ge for getting old, there will be a happy event at home soon!" Yan Shifan said to Xu Jie very politely.

"Well, thank you!" Xu Jie nodded with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at Yan Song's study and found that Lu Ben was already sitting here.

"Come on. Mr. Xu Ge, congratulations in advance!" Yan Song stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Thank you, remember to come tomorrow, tomorrow night, my house will hold a banquet, everyone must come!" Xu Jie said.

Because the ninth day was the day when Zhang Hao married Xu Shiyun, Xu Jie's house had to hold a banquet one day in advance, and the big banquet was at noon on the ninth day.

"I'll definitely be there, I'll be there, but you have so many things to do tomorrow, and the emperor is going to court, I'm afraid you're too busy!" Yan Song said to Xu Jie with a smile.

"It's okay. After the British government comes to press tomorrow, my eldest daughter-in-law will go to the British government to make a bed. They can handle these things. I don't need the old man. I just said, hey, why did the emperor suddenly go to court?" Xu Jie sat there, looked at the two of them and asked.

"Hey, I don't know, there is no sign at all, but I can't say that there is no such thing. Before the New Year's curfew, that is, the 2 soldiers in the capital participated. The actual number of people participating was only 3 or 5. 8 people were mobilized from outside, plus the [-] people in the capital, that's a real [-] people.

Before, the old man thought that the emperor didn't want chaos in the capital, but he didn't expect that he was preparing for it.

In addition, those foreign princes did not come back this year.I think that the emperor also deliberately let them guard there. In previous years, how could one or two princes come back! "Yan Song sat there, stroking his beard and said.

"Well, I don't think there will be any major events tomorrow, but it is very meaningful!" Xu Jie nodded and said thoughtfully.

"The main purpose is to convey a meaning. In the future, the emperor may go up to the court at will. At that time, all the officials, um, will attack each other!" Lu Ben said worriedly while sitting there.

Jiajing also went to court before. At that time, those officials did not dare to be corrupt like this, because once corrupt, his opponents would be impeached on the spot when they went to court, and they would be investigated immediately

But now that they are not in court, such things are much less. Although there are impeachment memorials, those memorials will eventually fall to the cabinet to deal with.

The cabinet let the Ministry of Punishment handle it, and the result of the processing is also reported by the cabinet. There can be a lot of room for manipulation!
"The thing is nothing, that is, in the future, we really want to investigate those corrupt officials!" Lu Ben nodded and said.

"I guess, tonight, I don't know how many ministers are writing impeachment memorials, and they are going to hand them in tomorrow!" Yan Song sat there and said with a sigh.

After hearing this, the two of them nodded with a sigh.

In the homes of many officials, some honest officials are now preparing to write impeachment memorials, and some who have hatred for a certain minister are also writing impeachment memorials.

Going to the court tomorrow, there are not many such opportunities.

Before, they couldn't see the emperor, but now they managed to see the emperor, no matter what, they had to send those memorials to Jiajing.

And some corrupt officials are very worried, even cursing, well, what kind of court, isn't this looking for things for people like themselves?

But on Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao didn't care about those things, but just sat there and practiced his pen.

No way, Jiajing said again today that his handwriting was ugly. It was very late when Jiajing was about to go to bed. Zhang Hao put down his brush and went to the reclining chair next to him. After a while, there was a soft cry.

Jiajing couldn't sleep, and going to court tomorrow was a test, to test the reaction of the court, if there was no memorial to the court, then he couldn't continue to go to court, the outside was still monolithic, and he couldn't fight them.

If there are many people presenting the memorial tomorrow, then there is a chance, at least we can know how many people are still loyal to Daming.

And the three cabinet bosses outside the palace couldn't sleep either.

Although they secretly conveyed the message that they should not present the memorial tomorrow, there are still many people who will not listen to them.

Especially last year, Jiajing took advantage of the anti-corruption campaign and replaced some officials. At least, the Minister of the Ministry of War would not listen to them, nor would those generals listen to him.

As for Sun Yingkui, the left servant of the household department, although Jiajing is dissatisfied with him, he will not listen to the suggestions of the three of them. There are also people from the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who have just come up. They may not listen to the three cabinets. old words.

The next morning, Jiajing got up very early and asked Lu Fang to call Zhang Hao to get up.

"Your Majesty, why did you get up so early?" Zhang Hao said after waking up.

"Go change your marquis uniform, have you brought it?" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Bring it, didn't you send someone to notify me?" Zhang Hao nodded.

"Then go change it, change it, come here to have breakfast, and then we will go to court!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao nodded when he heard it, and went to change his clothes.

On Zhang Rong's side, everyone has already woken up, and guards have been deployed at home to make them more vigilant.

After explaining everything, Zhang Rong started to walk towards Fengtian Hall.

Xu Jie and the others got up early, ready to go to the morning court.

After a quarter of an hour, almost all the officials went out. Everyone looked at the other officials with a smile and nodded.

When Zhang Rong arrived outside the palace, the palace gate hadn't opened yet.

Zhang Rong stood at the front, the crown prince can't come now, and King Yu is not yet an adult, nor is there any prince in the capital, they all went to the vassal state, and they can only come back when Jiajing informs them.

"I've seen Duke Ying!" Lu Ben and the others stood behind Zhang Rong.

"I've met Mr. Lu Ge!" Zhang Rong also bowed his hands and said in return.

"Congratulations, Duke Ying, I'm going to drink your wedding wine tomorrow!" Yan Song said to Zhang Rong.

"Thank you, remember to come tomorrow!" Zhang Rong replied with a smile.

"My lord, do you know why the emperor suddenly wants to go to court?" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I don't know about this matter. I also received the news yesterday afternoon, and it felt very sudden, but this is a good thing. It shows that the emperor is more concerned about the government!" Zhang Rong said, looking at Xu Jie with a smile.

After Xu Jie heard this, he nodded. Zhang Rong didn't tell them the truth, but it was difficult for them to judge.

At this moment, the hour came, and the palace gate opened.

Zhang Rong was in the front, followed by the Marquis and Earl in the capital, and then Zheng Yipin of the court, from Yipin, walked inside.

But no one dared to go beyond the rules at this time, that would be impeached.

Soon, Zhang Rong and the others arrived outside Fengtian Hall.

As soon as they arrived, the gate of Fengtian Temple opened, and they continued to walk in, and then lined up, waiting for Jiajing.

At this moment, Jiajing was already sitting in a sedan chair, escorted by Zhang Hao and Jin Yiwei, to the outside of Fengtian Hall.

"The emperor is here!" Chen Hong stood at the gate of Fengtian Hall and shouted loudly.

Jiajing got off the sedan chair, while Zhang Hao and Lu Fang stood on the left and the right.

Jiajing started to walk forward, and Zhang Hao followed behind, holding a hammer.

When they got inside, all the ministers knelt down and shouted long live.

Jiajing walked straight to the dragon chair, feeling filled with emotions, and instantly felt that his steps were heavy.

For the first 20 years, I used to go to court here, once every three days, but in the past eight years, I have never sat here.

Soon, Jiajing started to climb the steps, Lu Fang helped him up, Zhang Hao stood below, turned around, and faced the ministers.

The ministers were kneeling on the ground at this moment.

"Pingshen!" Jiajing sat on Yiyi and shouted Pingshen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers immediately stood up, then turned around, and cupped their hands at Jiajing.

"It's been more than eight years. I haven't seen the ministers in this court. Today is the first day of the new year. I have nothing to do. I just want to look back on the past few years, especially last year. How should I arrange and do things this year? It’s also a chat with everyone!” Jiajing sat there and said.

The ministers below all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Jiajing glanced at it, and then said: "Last year, the Tatars invaded the outskirts of the capital, and the people suffered. I used money to relieve the disaster. Of the 60 taels of disaster relief funds, only more than [-] taels fell into the hands of the people.

Then there was the snow disaster, I took out 200 million taels for disaster relief, but in the end, only 80 taels may have reached the hands of the common people, officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you have to give me an explanation!
