Prince of Chaos

Chapter 270
The three elders of the cabinet, the officials of the Six Departments, and the officials of the Nine Ministers such as Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate received an imperial edict from Emperor Wanli early in the morning.

Ask them to meet you at the Xishan Palace immediately.

Along the way, more than a dozen bigwigs were looking at each other, wondering what happened.

What's more, some people guessed whether Emperor Wanli's dragon body was not hesitating, he was about to die, and he was about to ask Gu?

Thinking of this possibility, the humerus ministers who were summoned became excited. This is a great credit!

However, the eunuch who led the way did not show any anxiety. Obviously, this guess was not very accurate.

Therefore, the mentality of the ministers could not help but feel a little uneasy at this time. After all, it has been a long time since Emperor Wanli summoned so many ministers at once.

Normally, the elders of the cabinet were the ones that Emperor Wanli saw the most, and even if they were elders, sometimes they might not be able to see each other once a month.

It can be seen how rare it is to see Tianyan this day!

Wang Jiaping, who was at the end of the cabinet, looked at the first assistant Shen Shixing and the second assistant Wang Xijue who were driving in the same car, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really difficult to do things between them.

Wang Jiaping looked at Shen Shixing, he first clasped his fists and saluted, and then asked: "Yuanfu, what will happen if the emperor asks us to go to the Xishan Palace now?"

Finally, Wang Jiaping couldn't help asking. After all, among the three members of the cabinet, he was the only one who didn't have the right to face the saint alone. Therefore, Wang Jiaping didn't know as much about many things as Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue.

Shen Shixing, who was still keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes slowly after hearing Wang Jiaping's question. What will the line say.

In the end, after Shen Shixing opened his eyes, he said lightly, "I don't know either."

Shen Shixing's words immediately blocked Wang Jiaping's next question.He couldn't continue asking.

In fact, at this time, Shen Shixing didn't have much in mind. Although he vaguely had a guess, this guess was still too absurd in Shen Shixing's eyes, and it seemed unlikely that it would happen.

After all, since Emperor Jing (Zhu Qiyu), the emperor's management of clan vassals has become more and more strict, and the emperor's authority has become more and more sacred and inviolable. It's not just talk, it has long been the consensus of the world.Although scholars like to fight against each other, their awe of imperial power comes from the heart.

Even Zhang Juzheng, who once governed the country, was still unable to compete with the imperial power, and could only rely on the imperial power to exercise his own monopoly of the prime minister for a while.

Therefore, in Shen Shixing's heart, he also felt that some things seemed impossible.

The officials of the six departments also have two cars, in which the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry sit together.This kind of ranking was almost impossible in the past, because everyone knew that the Ministry of Industry was just a subcontractor's yamen, and it was not worthy to sit with the high-ranking officials of the world and the officials of the imperial court.

However, it is different now, the Ministry of Industry has become a favorite, and it will soon hold the cement quota that everyone is jealous of. .

Shen Sixiao, who has now been promoted to a full-time job, is a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions. Although he is not young, his spirit looks much better than Fan Qian and the other two ministers.

Fan Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Shen Sixiao who was sitting on the side, and asked very kindly: "Shen Butang, why did the emperor summon us to the Xishan Palace this time?"

When Shen Sixiao heard Fan Qian's questioning like this, Shen Sixiao was really very proud. Usually, he had to lower his head and ask others first. Unexpectedly, it has become like this now, which made Shen Sixiao feel uneasy. How beautiful.

Shen Sixiao pondered for a while, then stroked the beard under his chin, he said: "Fan Butang, to be honest, I don't know what the emperor summoned, but I am sure it must be related to His Highness the Crown Prince. "

Now Shen Sixiao is in a trance, and dares to call himself my palace in front of officials at the same level.It can be seen that after being rich and powerful, the status and courage are all at the same time!

Hearing Shen Sixiao's categorical words, Fan Qian and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Sun Piyang looked at each other, then continued to look at Shen Sixiao, wanting Shen Sixiao to continue talking.

It's a pity that Shen Sixiao, who is mature and mature, also understands the principle of leaving three points for words, so no matter what Fan Qian and Sun Piyang ask, Shen Sixiao will still say that.Anyway, he refused to say a word more.

In the end, Fan Qian and Sun Piyang had no choice but to give up. They stopped asking questions and waited quietly for the carriage to arrive at the Xishan Palace.

And the Hubu Shangshu, who was able to sit with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, was now sitting with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, staring at them with big eyes.

It turns out that the Hubu Shangshu, who has a high position and great responsibilities, is the three giants sitting together in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.But now he could only squeeze into the second car, feeling wronged like a little daughter-in-law along the way, without saying a word, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War were also very knowledgeable, and did not ask the same word.

After running for half an hour, the three carriages pulling the cabinet and the six ministers finally stopped steadily outside the hot spring villa in Xishan Huangzhuang.

Chen Ju, who had been waiting at the entrance of the hot spring villa early, saw the cabinet boss and the others coming, so he took two steps forward gently.

Then after Shen Shixing got off the car, Chen Ju came forward to salute, "Our family pays respects to the elders."

Shen Shixing and the others didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, after all, Chen Ju was the eunuch with the handprint of the Supervisor of Rituals, and he had the honor of inner minister, so Shen Shixing and the others still saluted Chen Ju.

Then, Shen Shixing asked, "Where is the emperor?"

Chen Ju said: "The emperor is waiting for you inside. Early in the morning, the emperor ordered our family to wait for you at the door, and then he will take you to have an audience directly."

Shen Shixing and others saluted again and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Chen."

After Chen Ju and Shen Shixing exchanged greetings at the door, Chen Ju walked ahead and led Shen Shixing and others into the hot spring villa.

On the way, Shen Shi was walking beside Chen Ju, and Shen Shixing asked quietly: "Eunuch Chen, what is the emperor summoning me for?"

Chen Ju said: "The emperor's thoughts are not something we slaves can guess, but after arriving at the Xishan Palace, the emperor's mood and dragon body have indeed improved a lot."

After Shen Shixing heard the information, he was determined. At least from what Chen Ju said, Emperor Wanli was in a good mood at the moment, and his health was also good.

So, deduced from this, the next thing is definitely not a bad thing.

As soon as he thought that it was not a bad thing, Shen Shixing was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but follow Chen Ju to the warm room of the hot spring villa with brisk steps to meet him.
