Rows of sharp bamboo sticks were poked under the firelight, and the sharpness of the piercing made all the officials and students squint their eyes slightly.

They don't know what Chang Xiao wants to treat them to eat.

Western food or Chinese food?Sichuan cuisine or Shandong cuisine?Cantonese or something else?

When it comes to eating vegetables, why is there no food served, there is only an empty pot with white water boiling in it and rows of bamboo sticks on the table, what does this mean?

All the officials felt a little baffled, and faintly sensed something wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

The officials and students all looked into the flames anxiously, smiling often with cloudy faces.

At this time, Chang Xiao had already sat back on the grand teacher's chair again, the teacup was gone in his hand, replaced by a sharp bamboo stick.

I don't know if it's because the bonfires around are too strong, or because the bamboo stick in Chang Xiao's hand is swaying gently, all the officials and students are sweating from their temples, and some of them start to look towards the entrance of the alley. It's not too small, and people from the palace should have rushed over at this time. Even if Chongzhen didn't send people, the heads of the various ministries who instructed them to come to make trouble should have taken action.They can't just watch Chang Xiao make things difficult for officials.

……

In the afternoon, Chongzhen was persecuted by hundreds of officials, and had to issue an imperial decree to confiscate Chang Xiao's home.

In Chongzhen's original heart, he was unwilling to do this. After all, Chang Xiao was sent by him to the Nether Realm. Although it is basically certain that there is a problem with the hidden mercy tower, Chang Xiao can no longer come back, but If he couldn't see the corpse, it could only be regarded as life or death. In such a situation where Chang Xiao's life and death were uncertain, it was really not very kind of him to send people to copy Chang Xiao's home.

But all the officials wanted to punish the Chang family. At this moment when internal and external troubles are coming, the court must not be in chaos. If the court is in chaos, then the business of Daming Jiangshan will be completely closed. Baiguan It is precisely because of this key point that he clings on to the Chang family, hoping to send the Chang family into hell with one blow, so that they will never recover and never stand up.They knew very well that Chongzhen at this time was like a little fish fried on both sides, there was no way to compete with them!

For this reason, the officials showed enough determination not to give up until they reached their goals, kneeling in the court hall, regardless of state affairs, not talking about military chaos, and only asking Chongzhen to ransack the Chang family and destroy it!For this reason, these officials spent from morning to afternoon, and all the officials did not touch their teeth or eat, and their lips did not touch water. For this reason, seven or eight senior and respected elders have passed out.

Chongzhen naturally had no choice but to remonstrate with all the officials. Although he was not kind, he still had to do what he had to do. Emperors were always ruthless people. It is of course useful for Chang Xiao to be alive. Chongzhen will definitely keep him, but now Chang Xiao may never come back. Sacrifice it!

Therefore, Chongzhen drafted the imperial decree and sent troops to ransack the house. Of course, Chongzhen still left a little bit of leeway, and insisted that he only ransacked the house and did not destroy the family amidst the remonstrance of the officials. He, Chongzhen, was imprisoned and kept for safekeeping, so Chang Xiao probably wouldn't have too much of a problem.As far as Baiguan is concerned, Chang Xiao will basically never come back. As long as Chang Xiao dies, it doesn't matter if the Chang family is copied or not.So this hundred officials can reluctantly accept it, as long as they ransack the house and put on a show, it will prove that the Chang family can't stand up, and it will be done. For those who stay, at least they should be dealt with severely, and they will be fed some soup in private to ensure that there are no posthumous children who often laugh in their stomachs!

For Chang Xiao, Chongzhen can't regard him as an ordinary courtier, because Chang Xiao is a great monk with the realm of stellar energy, and he is a half-immortal body. Such an existence is no longer restricted by the world!

[-]% of the relationship between Chongzhen and Chang Xiao is a cooperative relationship, and they can be regarded as half partners, so Chongzhen must leave a leeway to succeed.

The imperial decree of Chongzhen was issued, but he was very angry in his heart, but he could only sulk, and there was nothing he could do about it. Of course, the anger was not because he had stolen Chang Xiao's house, but because his majestic emperor was killed by hundreds of people. He felt that his majesty had been insulted and provoked. Chongzhen and Baiguan had fought many times, often winning and losing each other. In the first battle, Chongzhen was completely defeated, losing his momentum and majesty, especially after Chongzhen saw the happy smile on the faces of all the officials after he issued the imperial edict, he knew that, From then on, this court hall became the court hall of hundreds of officials again, and he, the emperor, would turn into a puppet again. Chang Xiao left, and Chongzhen felt that he was powerless in the face of all officials.In the past, he used to stand there laughing silently, and the officials would not dare to make a mistake, but now he is sober, it is completely different.

The officials in the court winked at each other, and they had already met in private for a while before leaving and going to the Rouge Tower to celebrate!They hadn't eaten for a whole day, and now they were already starving. They were waiting for Chongzhen to leave the court. They immediately moistened their lips with wine, comforted by beauties, and satiated their stomachs with delicious food.

Chongzhen was sitting on the throne at this time, looking at all the ministers who were beaming with excitement, he sighed slightly in his heart, he felt that his spirit was a little weak again, he didn't know how long it would take to restore this decline, and he didn't even know if he had a chance. Unknown, after all, talents like Chang Xiao cannot be found casually!

At this time, Chongzhen hated the courtiers in front of him very much. In Chongzhen's eyes, these courtiers were not successful enough, they would not govern the country to share his worries, but they were quite good at making a living. Chongzhen lost Chang Xiao, so he had no idea about these officials, and the court officials were no longer afraid of him, the emperor.

Hate, hate, hate to the extreme!

Chongzhen was in an irritable mood, and was about to wave his hands to dismiss the court meeting, when suddenly a Imperial Guard trotted to the door and whispered something to a young eunuch, the little eunuch was stunned for ten seconds , then trembled all over, and quickly walked to the side of the imperial case.

The most important thing for courtiers is to observe words and expressions. They must firmly grasp every subtle expression change of the other party in the court, so that they can grasp the latest and most accurate information in time. The most basic quality of an official in the court, without this ability, there will be no place in the court.

The slightest movement could not be concealed from these people who had been fooling around for a lifetime, so from the hurried footsteps of the imperial guards to the door, the excited officials in the hall noticed it.

Then the face of the eunuch at the gate changed drastically, and he even went to report to Chongzhen in a daze for a moment. This series of actions showed one thing, that is, something big happened!

What can happen?Huang Taiji called in?Li Zicheng occupied that city again?Or is there another disaster?All kinds of bad things were spinning in the minds of all the officials.

Even the expression on Chongzhen's face became solemn. He had heard too much bad news during this time, and he was a little numb. The talent that has been devastated and still stands still, after suffering repeated blows, it is a bit overwhelmed.

The little eunuch hesitated in front of Chongzhen, and Chongzhen nodded impatiently, then the little eunuch dared to lean next to Chongzhen, put one hand around his mouth, and whispered into Chongzhen's ear.

When Chongzhen heard the first sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up. All the depressed and unlucky emotions that he had to succumb to because of the deadly remonstrance of the officials just now were swept away, but then a trace of worry appeared on Chongzhen's face, his eyes Frowning, when the little eunuch said the second sentence, Chongzhen showed a trace of anger on his face, but then Chongzhen turned his eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and when he heard the third sentence, Chongzhen turned his eyes slightly , looking at Baiguan standing there stretching his neck and looking towards him, a faint sneer appeared on his face.Immediately Chongzhen dismissed the eunuch.

The little eunuch passed on three sentences, the first sentence, "Your Majesty, Chang Xiao is back! Already at Chang's house!"

The second sentence: "Your Majesty, the two messengers you sent to deliver the decree were arrested by Chang Xiao, and Chang Xiao even tore up the decree!"

The third sentence: "Your Majesty, many officials and students gathered at the door of Chang's house."

Commander Wang sent this news back before he 'fainted', so there is no news that the two eunuchs who delivered the decree were killed by Chang Xiao.

Seeing the sudden change of Chongzhen's expression, all the officials frowned, especially when Chongzhen looked at them for the last time, there was a trace of unknown malice in that look, it was not kind anyway, the emperor's eyes had such a look You, that is definitely not a good thing. Those officials who were worried about natural disasters and military disasters just now began to be confused. What happened?It seems to have something to do with these officials, and, most importantly, why did Chongzhen, who was obviously like a defeated rooster, suddenly get rid of his depression and become better all of a sudden?Is there some happy event?But the Ming Dynasty is precarious, where does the joy come from?

All the officials felt that something was wrong, and they stared at Chongzhen. Although they were a little rude, their curiosity made them care less about it.

Chongzhen didn't say anything, but leaned on the dragon seat, and looked at the officials below, as if he didn't intend to say anything at all.

Now all the officials are anxious, what do you want to say?Don't you see that we are in a hurry here?
