Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 174 Calling all the officials, Ding Nie who doesn't care

In Funing Palace.

It's getting dark now, but Zhao Duan is still correcting the papers presented today under the bright candlelight in the room. Such days have lasted for more than 20 years since he ascended the throne.

Day by day, night by night.

In the process of critiquing the memorial, Zhao Duan's movements suddenly stopped suddenly, and the ink on the pen also smudged on the memorial because of his pause.

Zhao Duan didn't care, just put the pen back on the pen holder, and frowned.

Seeing this, Cao Shuang, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Zhao Duan shook his head, looked outside the door, frowned and said: "I don't know why, I suddenly feel a little palpitation in my heart, as if something is going to happen tonight, I can't calm down."

Cao Shuang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's the hot weather? Do you want me to add a few pieces of ice to cool down?"

Zhao Duan shook his head: "It shouldn't be because of this."

Seeing this, Cao Shuang didn't know what to do.

But Zhao Duan felt the feeling in his heart getting stronger and stronger!

Sudden!There were shouts outside.

It stands to reason that noise is prohibited in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, no one dared to shout like that in the palace, but after the two of them heard clearly what the man was shouting, they both understood why the other party was doing this.

"Dengwen Drum! The Dengwen Drum is sounded!"

hum!
Zhao Duan was dazed at first, but then quickly realized the effect of Dengwen drum, and the original sense of uneasiness in his heart disappeared at this moment.

It was because of this.

Zhao Duan's frowned brows relaxed, and Dang even ordered: "Cao Shuang, open the palace gate with my will, and tell all the officials to look down at the court!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Cao Shuang responded and began to prepare the imperial decree. After Zhao Duan wrote the imperial decree to open the palace gate, Cao Shuang went out with the imperial decree.

While Zhao Duan changed into the royal uniform under the service of other court ladies, and prepared to go to the Chuigong Palace.

Outside the palace gate, Zhao Jun was still beating the Dengwen drum tirelessly. The sound of the drum was deafening and could be heard clearly at the front of the palace. Many maids and eunuchs were awakened by the sound of the drum from their sleep. .

Started gathering in a bunch asking what the hell happened?

"Xiao Dezi, what's the matter? Why is someone beating the drums outside the palace? Don't the guards on patrol ignore it?"

An older court lady grabbed a young eunuch and asked.

Hearing this, the little eunuch replied: "Hey, Aunt Liu is you, who am I talking about.

Who dares to care about this matter, do you know what the drum is beating on? "

The older court lady frowned: "It's just a drum, what else can it be?"

Xiao Dezi shook his head and said: "This drum has its origins. It is the Dengwen drum set up by the founder of the country. Once it is sounded, even if the emperor is making dragons, he must stop immediately. Xuan Bai The official went to the court to resolve the grievances played by the drummer!
This drum has not sounded for a hundred years, and now that it is sounded, I don't know how much commotion it will cause.

Which desperate forbidden army would dare to violate the ancestral system to stop the drummer? "

Aunt Liu exclaimed immediately when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked for details, and other palace people who heard it all came over.

And Xiao Dezi saw so many people gathered together, he immediately became interested in being a teacher, and told all the things he knew about Dengwen Drum in detail.

All the people present exclaimed again and again, feeling that they had learned a lot.

After a while, Cao Shuang, who was carrying the imperial decree, came to the gate of the palace. After reading out the decree to open the gate, the general of the forbidden army immediately ordered someone to open the gate of the palace.

On the other hand, Cao Shuang led a group of young eunuchs out of the palace gate. After arranging the courtiers to be notified for these young eunuchs at the gate of the palace, he waited for the little eunuchs to coax them away and notify the officials. The drummer Zhao Jun stopped in front of him and said:

"Alas! Lord Yun! Lord Yun! No need to knock, no need to knock! The gate of the palace opened, and His Majesty sent someone to notify all the officials to go to court. If you have anything to say, just wait for the court to speak.

There is no need to beat this drum! "

Seeing him coming, Zhao Jun put down the drumstick in his hand, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Cao, why did you come in person?"

Cao Shuang said helplessly: "Prince Yun, you have already sounded the Dengwen drum, so what if the slaves don't come.

You'd better go to the palace with your slaves, if there's anything to do, let's talk about it in the palace. "

Zhao Jun nodded: "Okay! Enter the palace!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to hold He Yuancheng by the collar of his neck and prepared to drag him in like this. Cao Shuang hurriedly stopped him when he saw it.

"Hey, Lord Yun, wait a minute, what is this?"

Seeing Cao Shuang's gaze on He Yuancheng, Zhao Jun suddenly realized and nodded and explained: "This, this is the witness of the king, and he is required to testify at the court together!"

Cao Shuang understood, but he looked puzzled: "Lord Yun, it's okay to testify at the court, but the official uniform on this person should also be an official of the court, so there is no need to bring it in like this, let him go in with him. , otherwise it will damage the court's face."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jun nodded in agreement, and loosened He Yuancheng's collar on the back of his neck.

He Yuancheng glanced at Cao Shuang gratefully, and hurriedly got up to tidy himself up. His appearance just now was really terrible. If it was the same in the previous court, then he really didn't know how to continue to work in the court.

I lost my face at home!
Seeing this, Zhao Jun snorted coldly: "For Eunuch Cao's sake, I'll give you a face, I hope you don't know what's good or bad!"

He Yuancheng nodded, not daring to say another word.

Immediately, under the leadership of Cao Shuang, the crowd headed towards the Chui Gong Hall.

At the same time, those little eunuchs who were sent to inform the officials to go to court also came to the homes of the officials they were responsible for and informed them of the news of going to court.

And these officials who were about to go to bed or had already gone to bed, or were in the process of procreating offspring, did not dare to neglect for a moment after receiving the news, got up and dressed quickly, and prepared to go to court.

Along the way, they did not forget to ask the little eunuchs why they had to go to court so late?

Some clever people stuffed some benefits into the hands of the little eunuchs, and the little eunuchs told them that someone had sounded the Dengwen drum, so the emperor notified all the officials to go to court.

Those who didn't know what to do, didn't receive any news, and followed the dark-faced little eunuch to the imperial city in a daze.

Naturally, the Taiwei Mansion also received the news.

At this moment, Taiwei Ding Nie was looking at Liu Yun brought back by his family's guards in the stable with joy on his face, stroking Liu Yun's snow-white hair, his face was extremely happy!
"What a horse! What a horse!
I didn't expect that Zhao Jun would have such a good horse in such a desolate place as Yunzhou County!It really made Captain Ben envious! "

The steward beside him hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "No matter how good the horse is, isn't it also yours now, Taiwei?"

Ding Nie laughed and nodded immediately: "Hahahahaha, that's right! This horse's surname is Ding now! A BMW matches a hero, and he, Zhao Jun, is a furry boy with no hair at all. How can he match Zhao Ye?" Jade Lion, this horse deserves to be obtained by the Taiwei!

Chen San and the others did a good job, and each of them rewarded them with 300 taels! "

"The old slave understands!"

The housekeeper hurriedly responded.

But Ding Nie continued to caress Liu Yun's hair as if it were a treasure, even if Liu Yun resisted and retreated again and again, he didn't care.

But at this moment, a servant hurried in, and without waiting for the steward to reprimand, he hurriedly said: "My lord, there are people from the palace, saying that someone has sounded the Dengwen drum, and His Majesty wants all the officials to go to court!"

Ding Nie frowned immediately when he heard this, cursed inwardly angrily, and could only leave the stable reluctantly and began to prepare to go to court.

It never occurred to him that this matter might be caused by him. In the capital, as long as he liked things, he used this method to snatch a lot.

And most of those sufferers did not dare to make a sound because of his power, so they swallowed silently.

In his opinion, Zhao Jun, the vassal king who was kicked out of the court early, must not have the guts to dare to trouble him, so he didn't care about his status as a lord at all, and directly ordered people to beat him, and even robbed him horse!
He had seen this horse in the morning, and he was very greedy, but now it was his.

After getting dressed, Ding Niechao walked towards the palace Shi Shiran in a sedan chair.

And if someone looks down from the top of the Bianjing city at this time, they can see the dots of flames converging from all over Bianjing to the central palace.
