Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 605
Chen is a very special character.

Since the time His Majesty is in charge of Da Cang today, he has retreated to the world of enlightenment, and this enlightenment lasted for eight full years!
Therefore, he and His Majesty are called monarchs and ministers, but in fact, he has never been a minister under His Majesty today.

In other words, when His Majesty sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers, he was never in sight.

Even half of the ministers in the hall had never seen him at all.

In the hearts of everyone, they did not regard him as an important minister of the court.

The first time he appeared in the eyes of the public was the Heavenly Prison Incident a month ago. Lin Su interrogated Ding Jiye in public with the law of literary and moral cleansing. Four second-rank officials blocked him with official seals. Blocked the second-rank official seals of the four senior officials, allowing the interrogation to proceed.

As soon as this move was made, Lu Tiancong was caught off guard, and even His Majesty was caught off guard, which made all the officials in the court look confused. The name spread throughout the entire capital overnight.

The court officials knew that this first-rank official who had disappeared for eight years came out forcefully!

This is the biggest change in wind direction in today's Chaotang.

He who has never participated in today's Great Court Meeting, participated in it!

What does this mean?
On behalf of the long-standing "Double First-Rank Adjacent Dynasty" situation of the Great Cang Dynasty Hall, a complete change has taken place, and it will become three first-rank Adjacent...

If all the people in the court were surprised, Zhang Juzheng was undoubtedly an exception, he was very excited!

After Chen Gengtian made a move, he has been very excited. Zhang Haoran told Lin Su about the excited words in the study at that time. Zhang Haoran said: Grandpa is so happy. He said that he was too lonely in the previous court. A companion, I have to ask him for a drink.

Zhang Juzheng didn't drink this glass of wine after all.

Because Chen Geng retreated again after taking a blow, and retreated to the realm of enlightenment!
He didn't go to receive His Majesty's golden and jade full house, and he didn't thank His Majesty for his favor. The golden and jade full house was sent to the Chen family by the royal envoy, and his eldest son received it on his behalf.

Zhang Juzheng was going to ask him for a drink, so naturally there was nowhere to go.

But now, he has stepped into the Spring Festival Grand Meeting!
Zhang Juzheng felt a little excited...

Yinshi arrives.

The gate of Qinzheng Hall opens...

The ministers enter the palace!

Lu Tiancong was on the left in the row, and Zhang Juzheng glanced at Chen Geng: "Scholar Chen, please!"

Chen Geng smiled slightly: "Scholar Zhang Da, invite you first!"

Zhang Juzheng also smiled, without being pretentious, and stepped on the right one.

Chen Geng logically said that he should be second from the left behind Lu Tiancong.

However, his maverick once again showed that he did not line up second from the left, but followed Zhang Juzheng and lined up second from the right.

This ranking is also important.

The head of the prime minister's hundred officials, Zuo Yi has a proper title.

Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng, one is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, the other is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. There is no conclusion on who will come first. Some countries judge by age, some countries judge by seniority, and some countries judge who is more powerful .

Chen Geng didn't care about anything, and just asked Zhang Juzheng to go first.

And he was not the second from the left where he should be, but he was willing to be the second from the right behind Zhang Juzheng.

You can say that he is indifferent to ranking, but it can also be said that he is already in the same camp as Zhang Juzheng, and he is unwilling to side with Prime Minister Lu Tiancong.

The officials of the court are all fine.

A simple sorting order instantly caused different ripples in the hearts of countless people...

At the moment of Yin Shi, His Majesty starts driving...

All the officials stand up!

The kings are seated!

The small doors on the left and right sides above were opened at the same time, and the kings in Beijing entered the palace. The third prince, fourth prince, fifth prince, and seventh prince entered from the left, and two kings with different surnames: Zhou Jiang, king of Lei, and Du Yunhe, king of Lingnan, entered from the right.

Zhang Juzheng stared, what's going on?

Where is the prince?
It is impossible for all the kings and sons to come to the court. There will always be some special circumstances, such as sudden illness, which will cause a certain king to be unable to attend the court, and everyone expresses their understanding.

However, the prince is not in this list!
He absolutely shouldn't be there, even if he is seriously ill, he has to put on a good body and a strong appearance to participate in this year's New Year's Grand Court, otherwise, rumors will spread , either the prince does not pay attention to the etiquette system of the country, or the prince does not pay attention to the ministers, or the prince has a health problem, whichever one is, it will be very fatal to the prince who is at the critical moment of fighting for the reserve!
——The prince is disrespectful if he doesn’t pay attention to state etiquette; it’s disrespectful to be a minister if he doesn’t pay attention; physical problems are even more serious, which means that you don’t have the hardware conditions to rule a country...

This kind of "lost", in theory, no prince can get involved, but today, the prince just got involved, and he didn't come to the most important New Year's court meeting?
The door of the palace opened wide, His Majesty dressed in festive attire, walked through the long line of officials, stepped towards the end of the golden palace, sat down on the dragon chair, and glanced at the officials below...

"Your Majesty is in court, and all the ministers bow down!"

Following the chief eunuch's shout, all the people in the hall knelt down and shouted to His Majesty the auspicious new year.

His Majesty nodded with satisfaction: "My dear friends, auspicious new year, no gift!"

The people below stood up and raised their heads...

His Majesty glanced over, and was suddenly slightly startled, Chen Geng went up!
Although there was an instant turmoil in his heart, as an emperor, he didn't show it, but his eyes turned to the left, and he was really shocked...

The seat of the prince is vacant!

The prince did not arrive!
Chen Geng, who shouldn't come, came, and he treated it like nothing, but when the prince who should come didn't come, his heart suddenly burst into flames!
You bastard!
What will be the Spring Festival?Do you dare not come?Everyone can have a reason not to come, but you have absolutely no reason!
At this moment, the small door on the left side opened, and the prince arrived. Although his clothes were neat and the crown on his head was neat, everyone could clearly see his pale face...

As soon as the prince arrived, he fell to his knees: "Father, my son is late, please punish the father!"

His Majesty's eyes slowly fell: "Why are you late?"

The prince raised his head, two lines of tears streaming down his face, his voice choked up: "Father, my son almost never sees Father again..."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked...

Including Lu Tiancong, Zhang Juzheng, Chen Geng and other three big officials, all of them were shocked.

His Majesty's crown also trembled slightly: "Tell me, what happened?"

The prince fell to the ground, crying: "Yesterday, a group of masters attacked the Eastern Palace at night. The guards of the Eastern Palace, nine out of ten died, and the Eastern Palace was almost destroyed. If the guards and commanders did not risk their lives to save them, I am afraid that I will never see my father again..."

"What?" His Majesty stood up abruptly, and the entire Golden Palace trembled under his shout...

All the courtiers exploded at the same time...

"Attacking the East Palace at night is the same crime as killing the king!" Zhou Yunzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please issue a strict order to track down the person who instigated it!"

Li Zegang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also stepped forward: "What Zhou Shangshu said is exactly what I said!"

He Jingjun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward...

Before he could speak, His Majesty stretched out his hand slowly...

The whole hall was silent...

His Majesty spoke slowly: "The land of the great blue sky, the land of the testimonies, if you dare to attack the prince today, you will dare to attack the Zijin Pavilion tomorrow... Have you ever captured anyone alive?"

The prince said: "The 13 people who were captured alive have already been taken outside the palace. I know the situation is serious and dare not interrogate without authorization, so I handed it over to the royal father for interrogation!"

"Okay! Bring it to the palace!" His Majesty let out a long breath: "Prince, please return to your throne!"

The prince stood up and walked to his place step by step.

The third prince stood up to greet...

The eyes of the two met, and the prince's eyes flickered coldly.

The third prince's eyes were full of confusion.

He understood the look in the prince's eyes, the prince suspected him!

However, the third prince can pat his chest, he really didn't do this!
Although he said he really wanted to do it, but wanting to do it and actually doing it are two completely different concepts...

Last night, who did it?

He wants to know too!

His gaze swept across the ministers below, and he came into contact with the eyes of the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Officials, the Minister of Hubu and others, and the eyes of these people were also very strange.

It's not just them...

Almost all the people in the hall quietly planted an answer in their hearts...

Who wants to kill the prince?

The most suspicious person is the Third Prince.

It is already an open secret that the two sons are competing for the reserve.

No matter who the murderer is, no matter who is appointed by him, the last black hand must be the Third Prince!

The 13 people were all covered with black scarves, and the black scarves on their faces were attached to their faces, and they were carried in with blood all over their bodies. Their cultivation bases were abolished, their acupoints were blocked, and their eyes were wide open. They were depressed and angry. , there is also despair...

Zhou Yunzhi, He Jingjun and others looked at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.

The prince is a talent!
His late arrival today was intentional, and his purpose was to set off the danger of this assassination and arouse the indignation of the court officials.

And every step is correct, even the opponent's veil is not lifted, which is even more wonderful, which means that what he said is true, he knows that the situation is serious, he will not interrogate without authorization, and bring these murderers directly to His Majesty. It also pushes the situation to a situation beyond anyone's control.

Everyone guessed that the person behind this group of people was the third prince.

Once the interrogation proves it, the third prince will not be able to survive this calamity!
The prince not only wanted to stir up trouble, but also took advantage of this eternal opportunity to completely drive the third prince out of the ranks of competitors!

A truly powerful person never misses an opportunity.

Last night's assassination situation was dangerous for the prince, but after he escaped, it immediately turned into his "opportunity"!
The things that everyone can think of, His Majesty, who is talented and bold, can naturally think of it.

However, just as the prince expected, he must make up his mind in the face of the current situation.

The assassination of the prince was too serious.

As His Majesty himself said, if you dare to assassinate the Crown Prince today, tomorrow you will dare to go to Zijin Pavilion to kill His Majesty himself!

This is the biggest taboo for a dynasty!

This wind must not last long!

At the New Year's Grand Court Meeting, all court officials will be face to face. Such things must be dealt with openly!

His Majesty faced the 13 members of His Highness, and ordered in a deep voice: "Lei Zheng!"

"Here!" Lei Zheng stepped forward.

"Wen Dao washes his heart, find out the behind-the-scenes instigation!"

"Follow the order!" Lei Zheng strode to the front of the thirteen people.
