Start with Baihuguan

After being glanced at by Li Huan, Supervisor Hong's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly bowed respectfully to Li Huan's back and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Hou, I'm going now!"

Li Huan, who was walking towards the side hall, cast his eyes towards the direction of the palace gate, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Although these scholars appeared in front of the palace gate at this time, it was a little bit out of Li Huan's expectation, but it was nothing more than a little earlier in time, but he had already made arrangements for all this, and it can be said that everything In control.

Gradually, the sky brightened, and some latecomers seemed to have found old friends among the crowd, and couldn't help but chat in a low voice, as if to express their inner excitement.

Suddenly, someone seemed to be looking around casually, but the next moment the person opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth uncontrollably, as if he saw something incredible, and made a strange sound from his mouth.

This person's actions naturally attracted the attention of his companions, and he subconsciously followed the gaze of the other party. Many people also opened their eyes wide and showed astonishment.

Seeing that a group of soldiers exuding malevolent aura appeared all around at some point and surrounded the entire square, it was reasonable for these soldiers to have such a reaction.

After all, whoever Ren suddenly found himself surrounded by a group of soldiers, it would be a strange thing if he didn't feel a little panic in his heart.

Many people even secretly guessed when these soldiers appeared, and why they didn't notice it in advance.

As more and more soldiers were found surrounding them faintly, almost all the scholars who were sitting quietly there soon discovered this.

Some people showed a look of panic, some people looked disapproving, and some even boldly pointed at the soldiers around them. The reactions can be described as varied.

As the sky brightened completely, a new day came. If it was normal, the palace gate that had been closed all night would be opened, but at this time, the palace gate was still closed tightly. His red eyes stared at the dark crowd outside, how dare he order the palace gate to be opened.

Although it seems that these scholars don't have the guts to dare to attack the palace gate, but they are not afraid of [-], just in case, if something happens, he has a hundred heads that are not enough to chop off.

cabinet
Several cabinet elders who came to the cabinet early in the morning are gathering together at this time.

Wang Yangming looked at Yang Tinghe, Liu Yu and others with a solemn expression and slowly said: "Everyone, you must have seen those scholars outside the palace gate. Tell me, what should we do when such a big mess occurs? Tell Your Majesty."

In broad daylight, the majestic Ming Dynasty actually caused such a thing as thousands of scholars from the Imperial Academy gathered in front of the palace gate. If it was big, it would be forcing the palace.

But no matter what, the crime of oversight by their cabinet cannot be escaped.

Not to mention what reaction the emperor will have, anyway, the cabinet caught in the middle is bound to fail, and the emperor's rebuke is probably on the way.

Faced with such a thing, the cabinet must come up with a solution, whether it is facing the emperor or solving the scholars in front of the palace gate.

That's why Wang Yangming asked directly in front of everyone after all the cabinet members gathered.

In addition to Yang Tinghe and Liu Yu, the cabinet elders, there are officials of all sizes. Don't underestimate these people. External release is at least a state-level official, and they are all expected to join the cabinet in the future.

After hearing Wang Yangming's words, everyone lowered their eyebrows, and no one spoke first.

Regardless of whether the scene in front of the palace gate was premeditated or known after the fact, it was beyond the expectations of many people to make such a big noise and movement. Until now, some people are still digesting what they just got. news.

Although he was not the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Yangming, who vaguely had the right to be the first assistant of the cabinet, saw the expressions and reactions of everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Tinghe.

Wang Yangming knew very well in his heart that compared to Yang Tinghe, his foundation in the imperial court was too shallow. Even if he presided over a scientific examination not long ago, he had hundreds of new students under his name Disciple, but let alone how many of these people are willing to stand on his side, Yang Tinghe's network of contacts in the court for decades alone is not comparable to him.

In the imperial court, it is not Wang Yangming who really represents the officials, but the ups and downs of the eunuch in front of him, Yang Tinghe, who is the most popular among the officials and most likely to be promoted to the first assistant minister of the cabinet.

Having a deep understanding of Yang Tinghe's influence in the court, Wang Yangming turned his attention to Yang Tinghe and said slowly: "Master Yang, let's talk about it, how should we deal with this matter?"

All eyes immediately fell on Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city with some respect on his face and said: "As ministers, we should share the worries and solve the problems for His Majesty, although it is understandable that all the scholars of the Imperial College gathered outside the palace gate , but this act is suspected of persecuting the emperor and despising the court, we must not sit idly by, we must quickly persuade these scholars to return, otherwise, what face will we have to meet your majesty."

When it came to the end, Yang Tinghe's words were decisive, full of a sense of determination.

Liu Yu nodded without hesitation when he heard the words from the side: "What Yang Ge said is true. As a cabinet minister, we must not sit back and watch those scholars mess around like this. We must drive them away immediately."

Wang Yangming frowned, and was about to speak, when suddenly a familiar and sharp voice came from outside: "Where are the elders, Your Majesty will tell you."

Hearing the sharp voice outside, everyone just looked at the entrance of the hall in a daze.

Seeing Qiu Juzheng striding forward with a solemn expression.

As for the reason for Qiu Ju's visit, everyone present were smart people, so they could guess without guessing that it must be related to those scholars outside the palace.

Sure enough, Qiu Ju came forward and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty has spoken. If you have a question, who gathers outside the palace and why are they making such a noise, order the cabinet to deal with it, and report back quickly."

Looking at each other, Wang Yangming, Yang Ting and the others bowed respectfully to Qiu Ju and said, "The ministers respectfully follow His Majesty's will."

After the cabinet members reached a consensus, they immediately ran towards the palace gate, and at the same time Zhu Houzhao and Li Huan quietly appeared near the palace gate.

It's just that the Son of Heaven traveled lightly this time, and only brought Li Huan and two eunuchs with him, and none of the other servants and maids, so they stood there and only needed to hide themselves a little There is no need to worry about being discovered by others.

Seeing the cabinet ministers heading towards the palace gate, Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, do you think the cabinet ministers can persuade these people to leave?"

Li Huan shook his head slightly and said: "If it is so simple to persuade them to quit, wouldn't it be in vain for these people to make such a big commotion."

In September of the fourth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, a major case of beating the palace broke out in the Ming Dynasty. The cabinet failed to persuade him three times.

Jin Yiwei Ti rode out and arrested more than a hundred scholars including Yishizi Linyuan, Dong Hui, Chen Bizhang, Zhao Jing, and dozens of officials involved in the case.

Within half a month, Li Huan, who was in charge of personally trialing the major case of knocking on the palace, wrote to the emperor, suggesting that the emperor severely punish Du Yuan, Lin Yuan and other main criminals.

The Emperor Zhu Bi ordered that all those involved in the case be beheaded, and he personally decreed that those who participated in the case would be deprived of their honors, and it was also strictly prohibited that members of the three generations of the family were not allowed to take scientific examinations.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar, but the emperor's will had been made, and even the officials of the court could hardly change the emperor's determination.

In the fifth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Kunning Palace was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. A large number of court ladies came in and out, and their eyes were cast in the direction of the queen's bedroom.

The emperor in ordinary clothes was walking back and forth in the hall at the moment, his face was full of nervousness and concern, and he cast his gaze inside from time to time.

The Empress Dowager Zhang on the side also had a bit of worry on her face, but compared to Zhu Houzhao, the Empress Dowager Zhang was somewhat calmer. She glanced at the emperor walking around there and said, "Emperor, don't worry too much, Shao Didn’t the Daoist and the champion say enough, the empress is in good health, and she can definitely give birth to a dragon son for the emperor.”

The emperor has been married for several years, and there are many beauties in the harem, but these years, he has no heirs. At the beginning, there was nothing, but after a long time, an emperor has succeeded for several years, but he has no heirs under his knees. Due to his shortcomings, even many courtiers have repeatedly submitted letters to the emperor's draft to fill the harem.

The so-called enriching the harem is just an excuse, nothing more than persuading the emperor to consider the issue of royal heir inheritance.

Zhu Houzhao knew this well, but as Shao Zhenren and Li Huan said, when he was young, he was so greedy for beauty that he hurt his vitality. Under Huan's urging and persuasion, he cultivated himself and cultivated his character. I am afraid that he would never even think about the issue of heirs in this life.

Of course, this is all in the past. Ever since he got a cup of spiritual tea from Chu Yi in Huangshicheng and entered the innate realm, Zhu Houzhao has completely recovered the original source that was lost in the early years. In addition, he has been practicing Xuanwu breath method, a secret method of health preservation. It can be said that Zhu Houzhao The body is strong and strong, few people can compare with it.

This can only be seen from the fact that in Zhu Houzhao's harem, several concubines were pregnant one after another.

However, even though news of concubines and concubines being pregnant came out one after another in the harem, in comparison, the queen's concubines were the real eldest sons. If it was a boy, he would be the eldest son of the emperor, the legitimate future prince of the East Palace of Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, the queen's childbirth can be said to have involved the minds of countless people inside and outside the palace.

Outside the hall, Li Huan, who was specially called into the palace by the emperor, and Shao Yuanjie were sitting opposite each other, sipping green tea with smiles on their faces.

With their cultivation bases, they naturally knew the movement inside well, but they didn't mean to worry at all.

The birth of a queen is indeed a big deal, especially since it is the first heir of the Son of Heaven today. It can be said that the one who will be born is the heir of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that no matter how much attention is paid to it, if it is not the case, the Son of Heaven will not be so motivating. Both of them were invited.

It is true that the emperor does not trust the abilities of those imperial doctors. Over the years, since he was a teenager, he has had sex with the court ladies who served him, but none of the women have been pregnant with dragon sons. The hospital never said anything wrong with his health.

In addition, the Tai Hospital was involved in the conspiracy to poison him at the beginning. Even though the Tai Hospital has undergone a major cleansing, Zhu Houzhao sincerely distrusts the Tai Hospital.

Zhu Houzhao believed in Li Huan and Shao Yuanjie more than those imperial physicians in the imperial hospital.

In the queen's bedroom, there were shouts one after another. Just listening to the shouts, one could know the pain the queen was enduring.

The emperor's footsteps became more and more chaotic, and finally he couldn't help but said to Qiu Ju beside him: "Qiu Daban, go and invite Shao Zhenren and the Champion."

Empress Dowager Zhang at the side naturally knew the purpose of Zhu Houzhao's order to call Li Huan and Shao Yuanjie, so she opened her mouth without saying anything.

After all, Empress Dowager Zhang became a little nervous when she saw that the queen was unable to give birth to the dragon son, and under the influence of Zhu Houzhao's nervousness, she also pinned her hopes on Li Huan and Shao Yuanjie.

Outside, Li Huan and Shao Yuanjie looked at each other, put down the teacup tacitly, and saw Qiu Ju trotting over to salute Li Huan and Shao Yuanjie, "Shao Zhenren, Champion Hou, quickly follow our house, Your Majesty has summoned you. "

Entering the palace, when Zhu Houzhao saw Li Huan, he said to Li Huan and Shao Yuanjie as if he had seen some savior: "Champion Marquis, Shao Zhenren, the Queen's side has been unable to give birth to a dragon son for a long time, I am worried... "

Seeing Zhu Houzhao being so nervous, to be honest, Li Huan rarely saw such a gaffe from Zhu Houzhao, but it's normal to think about it.

After all, this is Zhu Houzhao's first time as a father. As a normal man, it would be strange if he didn't respond.

With a chuckle, Li Huan smiled slightly at Zhu Houzhao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will be nothing wrong with the empress."

Shao Yuanjie also stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured that the queen's mother is respectful to the world, and even has many sons and blessings."

At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran out and said, "Your Majesty, it's too bad, Mrs. Wen said that the empress had a difficult delivery..."

With a clatter, the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was holding a Buddhist bead in her hand to pray for blessings to the ancestors of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, couldn't help shaking her hand, and the Buddhist bead fell to the ground immediately.

Zhu Houzhao's complexion changed even more, and he burst out with awe-inspiring power: "Didn't you say that everything is fine, how could it be..."
