Chapter 45
"Recently, people from all the prefectures in Zhili have come to Beijing. There are about twelve or three people from each county, and most of them are traveling with merchants."

"And there are paper slips all over the place, and it is rumored that they were scattered by post soldiers."

Lu Bing reported all the news about Jinyiwei to Jiajing.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had established a strict household registration system, but this system was completely dismantled by the two relatively large waves of refugees in the late Baozong period and Xiaozong period, and with the establishment of the attached registration system, it has existed in name only.

Lu Bing, Zhang Zuo, Huang Jin, and Gao Zhong secretly looked at Jiajing's expression.

This is the Mingjun character design that Jiajing has maintained for nearly 30 years.

After a long time, Jiajing's voice sounded in the monastery.

"Gao Zhong."

"The minister is here."

Jiajing stretched his waist, held the white cat in his arms and stroked the cat leisurely.
"Outside Chengtian Gate, how many people are there?"

"Father, since the night before yesterday, the number of people has gradually increased, and I roughly estimate that there are more than a thousand people."

Jiajing didn't raise his eyelids.

"I want to listen to the truth."

"Damn me, I don't know how to learn art and don't know how to count. According to Cheng Guogong's estimation, there are more than four to five thousand people outside Chengtian Gate." Gao Zhong's voice changed at this point, and he hurriedly said: "But don't worry, the emperor, don't worry. It should be that there are traitors bewitching and profiting from it, and there are more and more street vendors, so I will take people away..."

There are so many people gathered outside Chengtianmen, let alone those who can come to Chengtianmen, most of them are people with a lot of money. Naturally, some people have moved to make money in order to subsidize their families.

Just when Gao Zhong was eager to go out of the palace to take someone.

Jiajing raised his head slowly, stared at Gao Zhong and asked.

"Who ordered you to take someone?"

Gao Zhong was startled when he heard this.

"My lord..."

Before everyone could react, Jiajing stood up from the futon.

"The people have something to say, how can I block the way of speech?"

"Changing clothes, swing Chengtianmen."

Lu Bing's face panicked.

"Your Majesty, people outside the palace are pretending to be fake..."

Jiajing didn't say anything else.

Under the wait of Huang Jin and a few maids, Jiajing finally took off his Taoist robe and put on a tuanlong uniform, fastened on the jade belt, put on his winged crown, and walked towards the dragon chariot outside the West Garden.

Lu Bing and the others looked at each other, and after looking at each other, they followed Jiajing's dragon chariot and walked in the direction of Chengtianmen.

But what is certain is that Father Jun doesn't seem to be very angry!

..............................

Ning Jue, who is under Chengtian's sect, feels that things are gradually getting weirder.

Although in the distance, the sound of vendors hawking is faintly visible.

But the situation under the Chengtian sect is extremely serious.

Some people cried bitterly at Fu Que, while others scolded Yan's father and son.

But the guards who were supposed to expel the common people seemed to be blind now, quietly watching the common people in front of them.

Ning Jue looked at the closed palace gate in the distance, and swallowed hard.

And it just so happened that Zhu Xizhong also ran out of Chengtianmen in a hurry.

"Brother Ning, I really have you."

Looking at Zhu Xizhong's expression, Ning Jue suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Cheng Gong, do you also advise?"

Zhu Xizhong smiled happily.

"Remonstrance! Remonstrance! Of course remonstrance!"

Ning Jue hesitated for a moment, then immediately got up from the ground.

"Okay, please advise, I won't advise, I want to go home."

Seeing Ning Jue packing up the box, Zhu Xizhong's expression suddenly changed.

"Don't tell me, Brother Ning, why are we admonishing you when you leave! Besides, Father Jun is about to come out. I heard that Father Jun is not angry at all, and you are going to make great contributions again."

Hearing Zhu Xizhong's words, the corners of Ning Jue's mouth twitched slightly.

Nope!

I can't stay here.

Although I don't know what happened.

But Ning Jue knew it was definitely not a good thing!
Seeing Ning Jue cleaning up faster and faster, Zhu Xizhong also became anxious.

"Brother Ning! Aren't you stupid! You sacrificed your life for the credit, and you can say no to it?!"

"We can't watch you do stupid things!"

It's okay if Zhu Xizhong doesn't say it, but Ning Jue doesn't even want the cage anymore, and wants to run away.

Ning Jue didn't know how the old Taoist priest's brain circuit was developed, but Ning Jue knew that if he kept admonishing him, not only would he not die, but it would be even harder to die in the future!

Seeing Ning Jue's reaction, Zhu Xizhong waved his big hand, and a team of Ti Guards ran over from a distance to stop Ning Jue.

Ning Jue looked at the crowd in disbelief.

"Zhu Xizhong, you are going crazy, can't I stop admonishing you?!"

As soon as these words came out, all the common people who had been behind Ning Jue raised their heads.

Zhu Xizhong got up from the ground without haste, and waved his hands to the left and right.

"Ning Bingxian has been kneeling here for too long and is confused, hurry up, go down and pour some medicine for Ning Bingxian."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xizhong pulled a Tiwei over and whispered in a low voice: "Guide Ning Xiandi for us."

"Here."

After the people in the distance heard Zhu Xizhong's words clearly, they all gave Zhu Xizhong a thumbs up.

"Mr. Cheng is indeed a descendant of a famous family! Loyal minister!"

"Ning Bingxian's ability to come to Chengtian Gate must be due to Duke Cheng!"

"..."

After inheriting the title for so many years, when did I hear people praise me!
Hearing the people's praises, Zhu Xizhong felt a little overwhelmed, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

Tao Shenxian is really accurate!
After being dragged down and poured a few bowls of hot water, Ning Jue struggled a few times but could not break free from the hands of these Ti Weis.

Ti Wei had no choice but to report to Zhu Xizhong.

"Grandpa, we have all enlightened, Ning Bingxian just wants to go home..."

Without waiting for Zhu Xizhong to continue speaking.

The Chengtian Gate in the distance has quietly opened.

An old eunuch slowly ran out from Chengtianmen with a long whip in his hand.

"Crack~!"

"Crack~!"

"Crack~!"

The static whip rings three times, and the clothes and hats worship the crown.

After hearing these three sounds, everyone outside Chengtian Gate knew that the Son of Heaven was coming out!

All the people looked in the direction of Chengtianmen expectantly.

This is the emperor!

I can finally see him alive!
Everyone is looking around at the officials around.

After all, the common people don't know the etiquette of meeting the emperor, and what to do when they wear official uniforms, so they follow suit.

And obviously the biggest official outside Chengtian Gate is Zhu Xizhong.

In just a split second, Zhu Xizhong felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and thousands of people were all looking forward to every word Zhu Xizhong was about to say.

As the main gate of Chengtianmen slowly opened, Huang Jin, Gao Zhong, and Zhang Zuo hurriedly stood on both sides of the imperial road.

Huang Jin said loudly: "Praise!~"

Zhu Xizhong also sang praises loudly.

"Tiandao Fude~!"

The people follow it.

"Thank you again~!"

Zhu Xizhong sang again.

"Haiyu Xianning~!"

The people also follow it.

"Three praises~!"

Zhu Xizhong also yelled one last time.

"Holy Blessing~!"

After shouting these three times, the people also became restless.

"Don't shout long live to see the emperor together."

"Don't say that you are from our capital when you go out. If Guochao beats the great grandfather, you will not be happy to shout long live. If you live ten thousand years, you will not be a bastard."

"..."

Seeing that the people outside the hall were about to whisper to each other again, the old eunuch just stepped forward slowly and shook his long whip.

"Crack~!" There was a crisp sound.

The Chengtian sect returned to silence.

And Jiajing's dragon chariot was also carried out. Under the eyes of everyone, Jiajing slowly got up and looked at the people in front of him, like a film king possessed.

"I have heard that the Holy Son of Heaven speaks widely. It is my fault that the people are not able to get out because of fasting. It is my fault that the subjects suffer from cold."

"Your Majesty!" Not only someone in the crowd shouted, but the eyes of the surrounding people all turned red.

Zhu Xizhong kowtowed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Ning Bingxian's death admonition against Fu Que is admired by the ministers and the people of the capital. This is Fu Que, and the ministers have not thought carefully!"

Jiajing was very satisfied with Zhu Xizhong's reaction, and his face immediately showed grief and indignation.

"Since that's the case, where is Ning Qing? Quickly invite Ning Qing to see me!"

Zhu Xizhong glanced hesitantly at Ti Wei beside him.

"Ning Bingxian has been suffering from cold for a long time, and he just went down to take the decoction."

Jiajing's tears were about to fall.

"I don't want to make you like this, it hurts my heart!"

Not long after, Ning Jue was brought over by two guards, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jia Jing ran down the dragon carriage and came to help Ning Jue.

"What is Ning Qing admonishing?"

Looking at Jiajing's appearance, Ning Jue could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, staring at Jiajing and shouting.

"I don't ji..."

Before Ning Jue could finish speaking, Jiajing covered Ning Jue's mouth directly.

"Uh...uh...!"

Jiajing looked at Ning Jue and nodded.

"Ning Qing was exhausted, it's my fault!"

Zhu Xizhong hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, although Ning Bingxian is ill, the memorial has already been submitted."

Jiajing was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Good! I am now in front of the people of the world, and I will personally read and approve it in person, so as to convince everyone!"

After finishing speaking, Jiajing directly picked up the memorial book and walked towards the dragon chariot, and the people around him burst into tears...

Of course, many of them are frozen.

  In fact, only the Yuan Dynasty in history included three shouts of long live in rituals. It originated from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was only used in informal occasions. Even the Qing Dynasty was embarrassed to shout long live. In fact, it was like praising a person for being beautiful. If you look okay, then you are praising people. If you don’t look so iconic, and you keep calling yourself beautiful, that kind of behavior is called yin and yang...
