Chapter 10

In the early morning, in front of Huangji Gate.

A gust of drafts blew towards the main entrance of the nine-room-wide building. Li Yuntang in front of Dongdi shrank his neck, wishing he could get his whole head into his collar.

This action also attracted the little emperor who sat on the gold-painted and carved dragon wooden chair to cover her mouth and laugh; then she suppressed her smile, cleared her throat and said:
"I told you specifically to ask you to wear more clothes. You are diligent in your words, but you don't take it seriously in your heart. Now it's——

Deserves to be frozen! "

"Ah!"

Li Yuntang sneezed coldly, then looked behind the dragon chair, there stood two eunuchs holding yellow umbrella covers - they were also quite tightly wrapped.

Only myself looks like a fool, wearing a thin layer of unlined clothing.

The current Li Yuntang just wants to arrest those directors who made the palace dramas of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and push them all outside the Meridian Gate not far away.

If it weren't for the misleading of their TV series, how could I think that the routine morning court was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Hall of Supreme Harmony).

Otherwise, I wouldn't have worn these clothes just because I was afraid of the stuffy heat in Huangji Hall!
But he still had to be taught carefully: "What the emperor said is that slaves don't know what to do..."

"I haven't finished talking yet!"

The little emperor directly interrupted Li Yuntang's confession, seized the few opportunities to preach in front of him, and started popularizing science:
"Whether it is windy or rainy, frosty and cold, the morning court will be held in front of the gate of Huangji; I obey the will of heaven, govern the people, and let the heaven know when I listen to the government, so I will be under the sky to show magnanimous!"

"Thank you for your teaching." Li Yuntang replied respectfully, but the little emperor spoke again as if a chatterbox had been opened:
"Also, this Jianlu's last chieftain in the pass was punished by Ming Zhengdian here, what is his name Xuan, Xuan..."

"Xuan Ye?" Li Yuntang tentatively reminded, thinking to himself: Brother Mazi, even if I give you 500 years this time, you are useless!
"Yes, Xuan Ye!"

The little emperor patted the imperial case set up temporarily in front of him to show his approval, and then he continued excitedly:
"At that time, he wanted to escape from Shenwu Gate (that is, Xuanwu Gate), but he was caught by Li Laiheng, the Duke of Kui, and then Taizu ordered Duke Kui to take him to the Taihe Gate, which had not been renamed at that time. His life was a memorial to the Yipo of the Han family who was hard to come to Jiashen country and died under the sword of the Jianlu butcher.

A few days later, Taizu accepted Zhu Youlang's Zen throne here again and became emperor.Therefore, there is a folk saying:
"The place where the chieftain was slaughtered on the golden platform of the imperial gate is the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty practiced!" '"

Li Laiheng...

This name also affected the memories of Li Yuntang's previous life,

This national hero, known as a little Chuangwang, took up the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty when Zheng Chenggong was defeated in Jinling, Li Dingguo died of illness in Mengla, and Shenzhou land sank.In the corner of Maolu Mountain, he fought until the third year of Kangxi; in the end, he was defeated and besieged, and his whole family set themselves on fire.

It's for the sake of the world's descent, but it's not surrendered!
And now here, he was the one who captured Kang Mazi, all of this seemed to have its own cause and effect.

Another gust of bleak autumn wind blew, pulling Li Yuntang out of his contemplation. He leaned against the eunuch who was holding an umbrella to one side, hoping that the screen behind the eunuch could block some cold wind for him; then he looked at Shang Chu In the misty sky, poured cold water on the emperor:
"My lord, before all the officials arrived today, my lord has already arrived first. It's a bit out of courtesy for the king to serve his ministers."

Being asked such a question, the little emperor stopped suddenly with her two fingers tapping on the armrest of the dragon chair, and she glanced at Li Yuntang angrily:
"Didn't the Empress Dowager Yi'an say yesterday that she would come to listen to the government? If she came to the court for the first time, she would come earlier than me. The courtiers might think that I am lazy in governing. In order to arrive before the Queen Mother, I came an hour earlier."

Li Yuntang had nothing to say, he didn't know what evil he had committed in his previous life, so he had to stand in the open air and drink the northwest wind at around four o'clock in the morning.

……

Hum, buzz, buzz~

Huang Zhong's big Lu-like bell sounded from the Bell and Drum Tower of the Meridian Gate, reminding that the time has come!

Then the Meridian Gate was opened, and the civil and military officials waiting outside the gate entered the Forbidden City through the gates on both sides according to their order.

Li Yuntang, who was standing in front of the Huangji gate, calmly gazed into the distance, watching the courtiers rushing in under the light gray sky.

At this time, from the top three halls and three pavilions to the top ministers, down to the seventh rank of the Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they all had to walk respectfully across the stone bridges on both sides of the Jinshui River.

They are also insignificant before the jade steps that symbolize the majesty of the Tian family.

And the little emperor was sitting on the golden dragon chair, watching the courtiers gathering more and more in Huangjimen Square calmly and calmly, with a feeling of looking down on the world.

Li Yuntang on the side couldn't help sighing inwardly:
The man should be so!
With a whistling sound, the cold wind behind him suddenly increased, causing Li Yuntang to shiver; then he looked back and saw that the Huangji Gate had been opened, and the Empress Dowager Yi'an came out of the gate in an open sedan chair carried by eight people. out.

On the left side of the little emperor's throne, the Empress Dowager Yi'an's seat was placed early, and a pair of fine silk curtains were hung in front of the seat, but the Empress Dowager did not rush to take her seat, but instead ordered a little eunuch to pass the message :
"Report to the emperor, the empress dowager asked the emperor to move behind to discuss matters related to the Ceremony Discipline Inspection Department; the empress dowager also asked that if the emperor insisted, he could make concessions on this matter."

The little emperor thought that the decree had not been stamped with a seal, and the queen mother had a soft heart. Seeing that all the officials had not yet been appointed, he wanted to go to discuss it.From the corner of her eye, she saw Li Yuntang hinting to sit down, and after a little thought, she stopped and asked the eunuch to go back.

Then Li Yu looked at Li Yuntang with a stern expression, his meaning was very clear, and he asked him to give an explanation.

Li Yuntang took a small step to the right, and whispered:
"My lord, this is the empress dowager's plan!"

"What plan?" The little emperor frowned, and also sensed that there might be another reason for this matter.

"Returning to the emperor, when Zhou Bo of the former Han Dynasty welcomed the acting king Liu Heng as emperor, he also asked Liu Heng to give a speech in front of the officials, but was rejected by Song Chang who was next to Emperor Wen with the reason of 'public affairs, the king is selfless'.

Because this pair of monarchs and ministers knew that if they really approached Zhou Bo to speak privately, it would appear that the new emperor had no opinion and was easily manipulated.

At that moment, just like this moment!
Now, although the officials have not yet stood still, they can already clearly see the Queen Mother's invitation to meet under the eaves. If the emperor really accepts the invitation, it will definitely leave an impression in the hearts of the officials that the king's prestige is weak. All harm but no benefit! "

After listening to the ins and outs, the little emperor nodded again and again, secretly thinking that his aunt was deeply scheming, then straightened his body, and cast his eyes on the ministers who were gradually lining up next to each other in the square.

The Empress Dowager Yi'an heard the reward, and knew that a little eunuch had ruined her plan; after she sat down in the shoulder car, she gave Li Yuntang a hard look, and on the little finger she put on the newly-worn gilt-and-jade armor, she put even more force on it. Scrape across the armrest of the seat, leaving a clearly visible scratch on it.

Li Yuntang was not worried about this blatant hostility—during the Tongzhi period, the Empress Dowager Ci'an was far more powerful than Cixi, and to kill Cixi's trusted eunuch An Dehai, he had to rely on the power of his foreign minister Ding Baozhen.

And the little emperor is stronger to Empress Dowager Yi'an than Cixi is to Ci'an, so as long as the emperor takes care of him, he will never have to worry about his life.

So what he has to do now is to act as the emperor's pawn, the more he offends the Empress Dowager Yi'an, the more the emperor will rely on him!
At this time, all the officials under the stage had been listed, and they said "Long live the mountain", but they stood upright, without kneeling and prostrating three times.

The reason for this is that the late emperor's new policy abolished early court worship, and these courtiers were not stupid, and kept this beneficial policy for them.

The sound of long live gradually dissipated, and the silence in front of Huangji's gate returned. Li Yuntang cleared his throat and roared:
"If the emperor is listening to the government now, if the emperor says: All my lords, can there be a play?"
