Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 427 427. Treatment
The question is, why is Dong Cheng... next to the dragon throne?
What is he sorting out?
Is there some connection between Dong Cheng and Chen Huang, or between Dong Cheng and today's strange things?
All kinds of questions are "growing" in the minds of all ministers and workers.

……

Zhu Xiuyuan was not qualified to squat next to the dragon throne, but stood obediently in the queue of military commanders.

Because he was a distinguished officer and an earl, he was ranked high.

About half an hour later.

"Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials of the entire court have arrived." Beside the dragon chair, an old eunuch bowed and whispered.

The old eunuch's voice was very low, and only Li Zhong, Yang Tingyu, King Zhongshan, King Zhenze, etc. at the front could vaguely hear it.

"Well, pass the decree to the imperial guards..." Chen Huang looked away from the document for a while, but he didn't look at the civil and military officials below.

Chen Huang spoke in a lower voice. Li Zhong and others listened carefully, but only heard the first half, but not the second half.

A message to the Royal Forest Guards?
What does Chen Huang want to do?
The Royal Forest Guards first sealed all the city gates, and then went out in full force, wandering around the streets of the city...

Now, after Emperor Chen summoned all his ministers and servants into the palace, and when they all arrived, he sent an order to the imperial guards...

Li Zhong and others have been in high positions for a long time, and their thoughts are so delicate. After a little analysis, they felt a bulge in their hearts.

Needless to say, this is definitely not a good thing.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Chen Huang finally read through the three baskets of evidence.

"Dong Aiqing, thank you for your hard work. Please return to your seat first." Huang Chen said to Dong Cheng gently.

"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Dong Cheng thanked him, walked down the imperial steps, walked through most of the hall, and stood among the civil servants.

The location is relatively backward.

All the ministers and servants in the hall stared at Dong Cheng.

At this moment, they had more and more doubts in their hearts, and they became more and more confused...

But looking at it like this, Emperor Chen should be starting a court meeting.

They have been standing in this hall for a long time. The younger ones are fine, but the older officials have to endure it...

However, the ministers were disappointed.

Emperor Chen had no intention of starting a court meeting.

He just glanced at Manchao Wenwu lightly, then withdrew his gaze, leaned his whole back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep there to rest his mind.

Chen Huang looked through three large baskets of evidence and was really exhausted.

Concubine You, who was sitting on the "phoenix chair" next to her, was brewing fragrant tea and clearing the dragon case.

silence!

This private hall was almost full of ministers, but it was surprisingly quiet!
All the ministers were filled with doubts and began to worry secretly.

What does your Majesty mean by "hanging" them here?
However, no one dared to speak out and break the terrible silence.

"Your Majesty, the tea is ready, let's drink a cup to relieve fatigue." After a while, Concubine You's voice came from above.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Concubine."

Then, in the ears of the ministers who had their heads lowered, they heard the sound of sipping tea.

The ministers have been waiting here for a long time. They didn't feel thirsty at first, but when they heard this sound...

They swallowed their saliva one after another, and the scent of tea seemed to be lingering at the tip of their noses.

"Jiang Chengbo wishes Aiqing, Dong Cheng, Dong Aiqing!" Suddenly, Chen Huang's voice came from above the hall, calling for someone.

"Chen is here!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng came out to pay their respects at the same time.

Your Majesty actually called this disaster star and his father-in-law?

All the ministers felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

"You have been waiting here for a long time. You must be thirsty too. Come here, I will give you a seat on the imperial court!" Emperor Chen ordered.

As soon as the words fell, a small discussion broke out in the hall for the first time, and it was buzzing.

All the ministers looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng with envy, jealousy and disgust.

The reason why the ministers reacted so strongly is related to the "imperial rank granting a seat" mentioned by Emperor Chen.

A seat is given on the imperial steps, which means a seat is given in front of the imperial steps.

What is the imperial step? It is the step in the main hall where the dragon chair is placed.

The terrain on this level is higher, and Emperor Chen can sit on it and overlook the officials.

The problem lies here, the seat is given in front of the imperial steps. The position of this seat... is closer to the emperor than the big shots in the court.

For example, Prime Minister Li Zhong, Yushitai doctor Yang Tingyu, as well as big bosses such as King Zhongshan and King Zhenze.In other words, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng were actually further forward than these court officials in the court, and they were still sitting...

Huang Chen's move was too unexpected.

Only then did the ministers break the silence and discuss in low voices.

"Your Majesty, please take back the order. I am of low status, and there are King Zhongshan and King Zhenze in the court. I dare not be rude!" Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then calmly asked the emperor to take back the order.

"Your Majesty, please take back your order. Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the State, and Mr. Yang from the Yushitai are waiting in front of you. I dare not overstep my bounds!" Dong Cheng also refused.

"My dear friends, there is no need to refuse. In this court, my words still stand. As the saying goes, you must practice what you say... My dear friends, please come."

Chen Huang waved his hand and pointed to the imperial steps on the left, where several young eunuchs were making arrangements.

Soon, the combination of two small tables and two small stools was completely arranged.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng looked at each other, bowed their hands in thanks, and then under the complicated eyes of the ministers, "Big Thorn" walked over and sat down.

Chen Huangdu said, "In this court, my words still stand. As the saying goes, you must practice what you say." This shows that his determination cannot be doubted!
This is also a warning to the ministers.

Not only Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng did not dare to refuse, but even the ministers did not dare to say "no".

But this stool is not easy to sit on!

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng were really restless.

The small stool seemed to have needle pricks on it, piercing the buttocks.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan claimed to be a member of the Transcendence Society and was arrogant to the people of the world, but...there were also Yang Tingyu, the Yushitai doctor, and King Zhen in this court.

Zhu Xiuyuan admired them from the bottom of his heart.

Sitting there in front of them with a prickly look on their face was really... embarrassing and painful.

But the emperor’s order cannot be violated!

Then this is uncomfortable.

"The tea brewed by my beloved concubine is indeed extraordinary, haha..." Emperor Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Best wishes to Aiqing, Dong Aiqing, you two must be thirsty too, please bring these two cups of tea over. "

As Chen Huang spoke, he lifted the teapot with his own hands and poured green tea soup into the two empty cups.

The ministers’ eyes almost bulged out!
This is……

Chen Huang poured the tea himself!

And this tea was brewed by Concubine You herself!

The ministers in the palace suddenly felt as if they were struck by lightning.

what is this?
Why does Your Majesty value this "disaster star" and the "disaster star"'s father-in-law so highly?

This is not an ordinary value, His Majesty even poured the tea himself...

Even Prime Minister Li Zhong, who had always remained motionless, raised his eyebrows.

His eyes moved back and forth between Chen Huang and Zhu Xiuyuan.

However, he still had a gloomy face, making it hard for people to see what was going on in his heart.

The expressions of Yang Tingyu, King Zhongshan and others also changed.

Your Majesty, what's going on here?
……

No matter what the ministers think, since Emperor Chen's words have been spoken, it naturally needs to be implemented.

The two palace maids waiting at the side received the order.

They each held a teacup, walked down the imperial steps, and placed the teacups on the small tables of Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng respectively.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to stand up and thank them.

Chen Huangdu has already poured the tea himself, so it would be inappropriate to refuse.

This time, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng's son-in-law received a lot of strange looks...

Even Yang Tingyu's eyes flashed sharply.

He was thinking in his heart, this boy may have made great achievements again!
……

After Chen Huang gave the tea, he closed his eyes again, leaned on the dragon chair and rested his mind.

There is no intention to start a court meeting.

The hall suddenly fell into a terrifying silence.

However, although they appear calm on the surface, the hearts of the ministers are not peaceful, and are even turbulent.

What happened today is really unusual...

While some of the ministers were thinking wildly, they didn't know that their mansion in the capital had already been broken into by soldiers of the imperial guard...
