Mingshi

Chapter 1480 Chinese Cabbage

Zhang Juzheng sized Luo Xin up and down, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "My good brother is getting more and more generous."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "Brother Tai Yue is good at nourishing qi, and he is full of righteousness."

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but smiled and said: "The two of us should stop boasting to each other."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the palace side by side, like two like-minded old friends.Walking in front of the gate, Zhang Juzheng paused, looked up at the palace, and said with emotion in his eyes:
"It's finally the day I've been waiting for!"

Luo Xin glanced at Zhang Juzheng, wondering whether it was Zhang Juzheng lamenting that Emperor Jiajing had not been in court for decades, or lamenting that he was a small official before and never had the chance to go to court.Or maybe both.

"Let's go!"

Luo Xin said calmly, take the lead in moving forward, this action is the leader, if he waits for Zhang Juzheng to sigh and move forward before he moves forward, then he will become a follower.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed, then he stepped up, looking at Luo Xin with a trace of fear.

Before long, he saw a little eunuch approaching.

"I've seen Mr. Luo."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Luo." The little eunuch said in a low voice.

Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed at the same time, Luo Xin couldn't figure out what Emperor Longqing wanted him to do, it was about to go up to the court, what should we talk about in the morning court?
Could it be that Emperor Longqing is going to make a big move?Discuss with yourself in advance?
But Zhang Juzheng felt even more afraid of Luo Xin at this moment, it seemed that His Majesty really treated Luo Xin differently.

Luo Xin nodded, separated from Zhang Juzheng, followed the little eunuch, and soon disappeared from Zhang Juzheng's sight.At this time, all the officials had arrived, and there were four rows of big Han generals standing on the altar in front of the Huangji Hall.

The eunuchs and eunuchs had already begun to declare their entrance, and all the officials solemnly entered the Huangji Hall, standing on the left and right, waiting for Emperor Longqing to come to court.

At this time, Emperor Longqing was wearing a black cicada-winged crown and a golden dragon, but he was a little restless, looking at the door of Zhongji Hall from time to time.

Luo Xin stepped into the Zhongji Hall, and seeing Emperor Longqing with a disturbed expression, he couldn't help but jump in his heart and said:

"Your Majesty, what are you?"

"No weapon!" Seeing Luo Xin walking in, Emperor Longqing was overjoyed, stepped forward two steps, grabbed Luo Xin's hand, and said in a low voice:

"I'm a little panicked!"

"Panic?"

Luo Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly understood.Thinking back to the time when I, Zhou Yu and others were giving lectures to others, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't help but smile on my face.

"No... you're still laughing?" Emperor Longqing couldn't help being impatient.

Luo Xin held back his smile and said, "Your Majesty, after being the number one scholar in high school, I became very famous. Many people invited me to give lectures. I was so nervous all night that I didn't fall asleep."

"You're too nervous to sleep!" Emperor Longqing suddenly felt less nervous.

"That's right, the scene that I faced back then was much bigger than your Majesty's. There were thousands of people."

"Then how did you solve it?"

"Later, the minister thought of a way."

"What way?" Emperor Longqing asked eagerly.

"I don't look at their faces, but only at the top of their heads, and treat them like cabbages in my heart."

"It's that simple?" Emperor Long Qing was stunned.

"It's that simple." Luo Xin said firmly.

"Chinese cabbage!" Emperor Longqing murmured in a low voice: "Yes, I treat them as Chinese cabbage, what's so terrible about Chinese cabbage, it's not like I haven't eaten it before."

"The minister resigned, and went back to be His Majesty's Chinese cabbage, first occupying his own hole."

Emperor Longqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Go, go occupy the pit."

The monarch and his subjects looked at each other and smiled, Luo Xin left the Zhongji Hall, went to the Huangji Hall, and stood in his place.At this time, many officials knew that Luo Xin was summoned by Emperor Longqing in advance, and they all looked at Luo Xin with different eyes.

There is fear, envy, and thoughtfulness!
At this time, Emperor Longqing was also muttering Chinese cabbage in a low voice, while walking towards the Huangji Hall, walked into the Huangji Hall, and sat down firmly.The lieutenant of the ring whip blew nine whips, and when he heard the whips, the tribute officer of Honglu Temple hurriedly shouted:
"bow down!"

All the officials began to kneel down, but it was a mess.

Emperor Longqing had no experience in going to court, and thanks to Emperor Jiajing, the officials also had no experience in going to court, and they were not at all neat.

Even shouting long live long live long live is not neat.However, one can hear the excited emotions in the voice, and even the voice of choking.

The emperor goes to court...

It's been a long time!
It was because it had been a long time that the officials were excited, and regarded this morning court as a sign that Ming Dynasty had entered a new era.

After the death of all the officials, the officials of Honglu Temple sang loudly: "Officials of the fourth grade and lower rank thank you and retire, and each returns to the headquarters to manage the government."

The officials below the fourth rank looked enviously at those officials above the fourth rank, and then left sullenly.The meaning of their coming to the early court is to kowtow, and if they want to stay, they still need to struggle in the officialdom.

Officials of the fourth rank and above entered the Huangji Hall under the guidance of the praise officer of Honglu Temple, and stood in two shifts.Then Feng Baocai shouted:

"If you have something to play early, if you have nothing to do, retreat!"

Luo Xin stood in his place without speaking, secretly looking at the people standing in front of him. There were four members in the cabinet. Among the six departments, there were five ministers standing in front of Luo Xin because the Ministry of Rites did not have a minister. There are twelve people.

Although there are only twelve people, it seems that Luo Xin is still very high.In fact, there is a gap.

Luo Xin went to court today and did not prepare anything at all.He's done everything he should have done, and the Ministry of Rituals only has those things. He was the busiest before, such as the new emperor ascending the throne, and the former emperor seeing him off.Now he can finally relax for a while.However, because of the new emperor's enthronement and the late emperor's farewell, the other ministries have squeezed a lot of government affairs, and they have to be dealt with centrally at this time, so everyone has a stack of notebooks and is ready to be resolved today.

Of course, according to the procedures, Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet, had to come first, and Xu Jie was not polite. As soon as Feng Bao finished speaking, he walked out, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I have the original performance!"

A flash of fear suddenly flashed in Emperor Longqing's eyes. These days he was busy rehearsing how to go to court. After all, it was his first time as emperor, and he was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of his officials.But forgot one big thing.

In other words, when Gao Gong and Ma Fang went to visit Yan Na overnight, Yan Na bluntly said that Xu Jie also had a deep talk with him during the day, but Yan Na only wanted to do something for the country and did not want to participate in the court struggle.

This is to clearly tell Gao Gong and Ma Fang that he strictly wants to be neutral.
