Chapter 746
Cabinet deliberations are once again frequent.

The current cabinet deliberations are no longer simply cabinet participation. All the yamen involved in this grand ceremony will participate in it from time to time, and they are all working hard for a perfect ceremony.

Zhao Xi didn't meddle in everything, but just occasionally listened to the content of the discussion, and casually asked the courtiers about the content of the great etiquette.

In fact, Zhao Xi is not good at this and doesn't care too much about it.What he focuses on, or what he thinks about, is the arrangement.

The sudden influx of too many people into Bianliang is a test for the imperial court and Bianliang's reception capacity.

Such a big etiquette, not only the party aristocrats, but also the army who went to war, and all the political participation and discussion of the state government were required to participate according to the regulations.

In other words, during the period of the ceremony, the entire Bianliang will increase by 10,000+ people... This is because the soldiers who stayed behind in the Northwest have not all arrived in Bianliang, otherwise it will be overwhelmed.

"Officials, whether it's the three-year exam or the annual court meeting, Bianliang's reception capacity is sufficient to handle this matter. What's more, the government's yamen, Kaifeng Mansion, and the entire Gyeonggi Province have all transferred officials to participate From the affairs of this grand ceremony."

"Shiyi Temple has immediately notified the inns and post shops in Bianliang, including the Goulan restaurant, that all their livelihoods are mainly based on receiving this participation in the ceremony. Kaifeng prefecture has seventeen counties under its jurisdiction. Officials involved in the grand ceremonies.

"Duting Station, Duting West Station, etc., including all post houses under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, are fully responsible for receiving envoys participating in the ceremony. The Ministry of Households will check all public properties in Bianliang, and uniformly register them for use in Arranging party aristocrats..."

"The dispatch of the barracks is also tense and orderly. The barracks that were vacated after the reduction of the Bianliang garrison were re-used. Whether it is a more military army or an army receiving rewards, it can be properly arranged."

"Workshop City, Lecture Hall, and Gongyuan have all coordinated a certain number of houses to receive the participation in state affairs of the state capitals and counties during the Great Ceremony..."

As for Zhao Xi's inquiry, the cabinet made a report according to the division of labor.After hearing these reports, Zhao Xi really couldn't find where he could make suggestions. The cabinet basically thought of everything he thought about.

To be honest, there is really no doubt about the ability of the cabinet ministers, especially when it comes to such matters, they are quite thoughtful.

Nothing happened to Zhao Xi...

Zhao Xi was thinking about how to say a few words of encouragement and praise the hard work of the cabinet and the various yamen during this period, when he saw Wang Zhongzheng rushing into the meeting hall of the Palace of Qinzheng through the side door in a hurry.

Under normal circumstances, when the cabinet is discussing matters, Wang Zhongzheng is guarding outside the Hall of Qinzheng, or waiting at the door. It is not an urgent matter, and unless Zhao Xi calls, Wang Zhongzheng is the gatekeeper.

What can happen at this time?

"Officials, the prince has been attacked!"

"what?"

Zhao Xi nodded suddenly, stood up and asked sharply.In an instant, Zhao Xi woke up when he saw Wang Zhong was kneeling, and the cabinet and all the ministers who were discussing the matter were stunned.

At this time, I must keep calm.

"What's the specific situation, please tell me in detail!"

Zhao Xi suppressed both panic and anger, trying to speak in a calm tone.But everyone could hear the chill in the official's tone.

"Going back to the official house... the crown prince took a boat from Chengdu, and the passenger ship is the imperial water transport boat..."

Originally, water transportation was just a business of transporting grain in the Grand Canal. Later, the track was built, running through most of the prefectures and counties in the country. Water transportation also began to expand its business, and the Yangtze River waterway also had water transportation business.Zhao Xi knew this.

This is because the water transportation is chaotic, and the track has replaced most of the water transportation grain delivery business. Zhao Xi has not bothered to deal with the water transportation, and intends to let it be eliminated naturally.

"When the boat the prince was riding on was approaching Jinghu Road, an accident occurred, and the boat leaked. So the prince turned to land and planned to transfer to a rail carriage in Xiangzhou..."

"Since the prince transferred to the land route, the Imperial City Secretary's 50-member guard, in the form of a caravan, has traveled with the prince and his party..."

Wang Zhongzheng had to make this point clear.Both he and the Imperial City Secretary were personally trained by the officials.When the accident occurred on the ship the prince was on, if the entire prince's guards hadn't been alerted, it would be his Imperial City Division's responsibility.

"Say the point!"

"Yes, the prince and his party of more than 17 people were attacked by unknown persons when they passed Funiu Mountain. When the report was reported, there were [-] remaining guards in the imperial city division, who had already protected the prince from the dangerous place. Because the situation was unknown, the imperial city division The guards did not escort the prince into Xiangzhou..."

After Wang Zhongzheng finished speaking, he continued to kneel down, not daring to raise his head, let alone ask the officials what to do next.No one is more familiar with officialdom than Wang Zhongzheng.

The entire chamber was so quiet that one could even hear people breathing.

Zhao Xi didn't speak.However, he learned a few things from Wang Zhongzheng's memorial.The first and most critical point is that the crown prince is currently safe and has been temporarily protected by the Imperial City Secretary in a unique way.

The second point is that Zhao Xi is well aware of the combat power of the Imperial City Secretary's personal servants. Even a thousand mob guards of more than [-] people may not be able to defend against it. Even the prince himself will not be as powerful as he is now. The soldiers of the new army are poor.

It can cause more than 40 casualties of the Imperial City Secretary's relatives and officials, and at least three to five hundred people will do the attack.Of course, if there is a new army involved, it will be another story.

Another point is that the Imperial City Secretary doesn't trust the yamen on Jinghu Road... Now that Jinghu Road's political participation has already entered Beijing, or is on the way to Beijing, that is to say, the rest of Jinghu Road Among the officials, Huangcheng Division suspects that there are uncertainties.

"Official..."

Specifically how to do it, you have to be instructed by the official.Fortunately, the crown prince is safe, so Fu Bi can invite the officials.

"Officials, do you want to send an army south to fetch the prince?"

"Has Gao Jingxian returned to Beijing? Where is Gao Jingting?"

"Go back to the official's house, General Gao has returned to the court."

"Order Jingxian and Jingting to lead the guards to the south, the Imperial City Secretary to leave the capital, and Wang Zhongzheng to go in person... If there is any accident for the crown prince, don't come back."

Zhao Xi spoke very calmly, but everyone could feel his killing intent.

"Official House, Jinghu Road..."

The incident happened in Jinghu Lake, although bringing the prince back was the priority, but during the grand ceremony held by the imperial court, there was still a need for a regulation for the unstable factors on Jinghu Road.

"For the time being, we only need to bring the prince to Beijing, and there is no need to do too much else. There is no need to publicize this matter for the time being, let's wait until later..."

This will not be an isolated incident. Zhao Xi needs to calm down and figure it out. Decisions made in this state are likely to be biased.
