Chapter 730 The sky is actually not dark ([-])

One night is not long. For ordinary people, it is enough to sleep, but for people in the officialdom, this night is destined to be a sleepless night. There are not many or many insomniacs Conspiracies and connections are going on quietly under the cover of night, and a strange tension pervades the night sky in the capital. As the sky brightens, this tension has reached its highest point—the palace ban , The eight gates of the Forbidden City were closed tightly, the security was heavily guarded, and the inside and outside were completely isolated. All the officials and workers were inexplicably panicked.

At three o'clock in the morning, all the officials of the various ministries have arrived in the ministries, but no one is interested in doing business. From time to time, some people slip out of the office, peek at the closed imperial city at the gate of the yamen, and some boldly come to the palace gate A few days ago, under the name of wanting to be on the book, I handed over the please see the sign, but no matter who went to see me, I got the same answer - no!A group of officers and soldiers of the good arresting battalion who were on duty outside the palace gate didn't even answer the sign, and drove all the visitors away from the cordon. Once such a strange situation happened, all kinds of rumors spread everywhere As rumors spread, the situation became increasingly subtle and difficult to understand.

When the hour was about to end, the imperial decree finally came down, saying that the holy dragon had a slight ailment and needed to be recuperated. Punishment for the crime of irreversibility.With such a decree, not only did people's hearts not settle down, but it became even more chaotic.

what happened?Could it be that the old man's dragon body is really dead?Should it be enough?

Today, according to the rotation routine, Hongqing should be on duty at the Ministry of Officials, but she arrived early in the morning, but found that Zhang Tingyu, who was always early, was not in the office. Minxing sent a few guards to inquire about the news, only to learn that Zhang Tingyu had already entered the palace, and Ma Qi had also gone, but Xiao Yongzao, Wang Jie and other scholars of the same rank were all turned away from the palace, even The third master and other elder brothers who planned to enter the palace to pay their respects also had no way to enter. This kind of situation is obviously quite strange, which inevitably made Hongqing a little suspicious, but he was not sure, nothing else, the time and space in the previous life Here, the old man has lived to 69 years old, and he has just passed his 65th birthday, so it should be settled. However, the difference between the previous life and the present life is quite big, and Hong Qing dare not make a judgment lightly, so he can only It was the irritability that suppressed my heart. I was dealing with daily official duties in the office of the Ministry of Officials. When I was absent-minded, the efficiency of the work was naturally low enough. After a whole morning, I did not approve a few official documents.

"My lord, Prime Minister Zhang is back."

The application time was approaching, and it was almost time to get off work. Hong Qing was still suffering in the office, but she saw Li Minxing striding in from the outside, rushed to Hong Qing's side in a few steps, and reported in a low voice: .

"Oh?"

As soon as Zhang Tingyu arrived in the office, Hong Qing's heart skipped a beat immediately, and the urge to inquire about the basics suddenly aroused, but she only raised her body slightly, but then slowly sat back to her original position, without any delay. On the other hand, it is a serious crime to inquire about the health of the dragon body without authorization. There is no reason, and Hong Qing really dare not say that easily. Moreover, Zhang Tingyu is so cautious that he has become a fine person. If you ask, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the reason from his mouth. Hong Qing doesn't think that he and Comrade Zhang are familiar enough to talk about everything.

"Look at it."

Hong Qing frowned and thought about it, and finally decided to talk to Zhang Tingyu, there is nothing else, as the third generation of the most favored Tian family, if he is indifferent to the old man's condition, it is unfilial, what should be asked To ask a question, even if there is some risk, it is better than ignoring it, thinking of this, Honghong got up, and after giving an order, he walked out of the office and went straight to the opposite door .

"The prince is here."

"The next official kowtows to the prince!"

……

Just as Hong Qing turned out of the office, she saw that Zhang Tingyu's office opposite was already crowded with officials, not only the servants of the eighth master and the fourth master, but also the third master's people, and even the fifth, seventh, and third masters. Twelve and these masters also had their followers here, and they crowded the outside of Zhang Tingyu's office. I don't know who was sharp-eyed. When they noticed Hong Qing's arrival, they uttered a cry, and all the officials rushed to the office. There are too many salutes.

"Why are you all crowded here? Don't you have to work, huh? Don't quit!"

Seeing so many people gathered here, Hong Qing's face drooped immediately, she didn't cry out, but looked around at the people kneeling all over the ground with sharp eyes like knives, and said unceremoniously He scolded.

"twitter!"

Hong Qing was full of evil spirits, under such a scolding, all the officials didn't dare to stay any longer, agreed in unison, and slipped away in a mess.

"The little one kowtows to the prince!"

After a group of noisy officials were driven away, several Goshhas who had been embarrassed by the noise finally recovered, and they dared not lose their manners in front of Hong Qing, so they rushed to kill them all. Going forward to meet them, Qi Qi salutes and pays homage incessantly.

"Well, just be flat."

Although Hong Qing was very restless, she didn't want to make things difficult for Zhang Tingyu's Geshha, so she raised her hand and yelled warmly.

"Thank you, Lord Ron."

Facing the high and powerful Hong Qing, all the Goshhas dared not show any disrespect. After thanking them in unison, they each got up, but they didn't dare to ask Hong Qing's reason for coming. They all stood obediently with their hands down, putting on an obedient appearance of listening to Hong Qing's instruction.

"My king needs to see Prime Minister Zhang for something, so please notify him on your behalf."

Hong Qing didn't talk nonsense, and explained the purpose of coming straight to the point.

"My lord, please wait a moment, I'll go invite Mr. Zhang right now."

Hearing Hong Qing's order, Geshha, who was quick to see him, hurriedly responded, turned around, and walked quickly into the office. Greeted from the office.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

The circles around Zhang Tingyu's eyes were dark, obviously he was tired, but his spirit was still not too bad. When he saw Hong Qing standing proudly outside the office door, he hurriedly bowed his hands and greeted him.

"Master Zhang, you are being polite. Xiao Wang has something to ask you for advice. I wonder if Master Zhang is free?"

Hong Qing politely returned the gift and exchanged warm greetings.

"My lord, please!"

Zhang Tingyu is an incomparably exquisite person, so he knew what Hong Qing's intentions were when he came here, a gloom immediately passed between his brows, but he didn't say no politely, but waved his hand in a respectful greeting.

"Master Zhang, please."

Since Zhang Tingyu invited, Hong Qing was not very pretentious, smiled slightly, and also waved his hand to give way, and entered the office one after the other with Zhang Tingyu, and the guests and hosts took their seats. Hurriedly serving the newly brewed fragrant tea, they retreated in a single file, leaving only the host and guest inside.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, Xiao Wang stayed up all night last night, tossing and turning, feeling really terrified. Early this morning, he wanted to enter the palace to pay his respects, but he couldn't get in. I don't know if Huang Mafa is okay?"

For shrewd people like Zhang Tingyu, Hong Qing really didn't want to go around too much, so she directly stated the purpose of coming here.

"Your Majesty may be a little sick occasionally, but it's nothing serious."

Zhang Tingyu had expected Hong Qing's intention long ago, but he didn't expect Hong Qing to ask such a direct question. He frowned slightly, and answered Hong Qing's question very cautiously. What he said was consistent with the imperial decree. The words are generally the same, obviously they don't intend to tell Hong Qing the truth.

"If this is the case, Xiao Wang can feel a little more at ease. Mr. Zhang is busy with personnel affairs, and Xiao Wang doesn't dare to disturb him. Xiao Wang has a part to ask An Zhezi here. How about asking Mr. Zhang to forward it on his behalf?"

Seeing Zhang Tingyu's prevarication posture, Hongqing knew that there was no hope of getting any useful information from him, so she didn't want to linger any longer. With a shake of her hand, she took out a piece of yellow silk from her wide sleeve. The masked book was held in both hands and handed to Zhang Tingyu.

"Due service."

When Sheng Gong violated the peace, it is the court practice to ask for an appointment. Zhang Tingyu will not have any objections to this, and he did not think about it. It was tucked into the wide sleeves.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. You are busy, so Xiao Wang will leave first."

Hong Qing didn't expect to find out the truth from Zhang Tingyu's mouth at first, but she just came here to express her concern about the health of the old man Long Ti. It doesn't matter whether she got an answer or not. Not going to do the disgusting thing of not leaving. Seeing that she had put away the paperwork, Hong Qing got up immediately, and after leaving a sentence to explain, she walked slowly outside.

"The next official will send off the prince."

Hong Qing was about to leave, but Zhang Tingyu didn't say anything to keep her. He just accompanied him to the screen, then turned back to the office, walked slowly to the back of the copy, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down, shaking his hands. , took out the greeting paper that Hong Qing had handed in earlier from his wide sleeve, spread it out, and after going through it carefully, he thought for a moment silently, and then picked up the Langhao pen that was on the pen stand , took out a blank booklet, and started writing quickly with a pen...

Is the old man sick?If sick, to what extent?

After coming out from Zhang Tingyu's place, Hong Qing didn't go anywhere else, and went back to her office directly, but the doubts in her heart were not only not less, but even more, nothing else, Zhang Tingyu acted too much He calmed down a bit, neither his expression nor his eyes showed the slightest abnormality, besides, it was almost time to get off work, he left the palace, instead of returning directly to the mansion, he ran to the ministry, it was obvious that Something is wrong, but when it comes to what the wrongness means, Hong Qing really can't see through it for a while, and the already irritated heart will inevitably become a little more annoyed...
