Chapter 403 Shocking People

In the capital city in mid-March, the wind is sunny and the weather is cool.

But Ji Ping, Shi Zhongyuan, Cao Gang, Ouyang Zhi, and Xiang Zha, the admiral of the Nine Schools, these court officials have mixed feelings in their hearts!
I didn't expect the common people to be so persistent. Even Ji Ping, the chief assistant minister, didn't work, and still refused to disperse!

The people were still waiting patiently, still looking out of the city gate from time to time, no one was making noise, and no one was making trouble.

The soldiers did not dare to relax their vigilance and blocked the door tightly.

The scene at the gate of the capital feels a little unreal, and it also seems a little out of harmony.

But it did happen.

With such a commotion, it was impossible to hide it from the palace.

After thinking for a while, Ji Ping said to Shi Zhongyuan and Cao Gang: "Master Cao, Master Shi! I will leave this to the two of you. I will go to the palace!"

Speaking of this, Ji Ping said in a low voice: "The matter has become serious, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it from the emperor!"

Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan nodded, and then Ji Ping left the city gate under the guard of the guards and headed towards the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Ji Ping hurried to Zhao Quan's bedroom and asked to see him.

Zhao Quan agreed, Zhao Quan was the only one in the bedroom, and the imperial eunuch withdrew after Ji Ping arrived.

Ji Ping saluted Zhao Quan, and then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late..."

Zhao Quan waved his hand and asked, "What's going on at the city gate?"

After all, he is the emperor, and there is nothing in the capital that can be hidden from him.

Ji Ping clasped his arms together, then bowed his waist and said: "Back to the emperor, Your Highness is worried about the emperor's illness. After returning to the mansion, he saw the lanterns and festoons in the Prince's Mansion. His eyes were full of tears and his heart was sad. Therefore, he went to Xiangguo Temple to pay his respects to His Majesty." Pray and go!"

Zhao Quan said: "Then those common people will go out of the city to see the face of the future emperor?"

Hearing Zhao Quan's tone of voice, he was obviously a little unhappy.

Indeed, Zhao Ziji is honest, but Zhao Quan is very dissatisfied with these common people and his officials.
If it is said that this incident was completely spontaneous by the people, Zhao Quan would never believe it.

So Zhao Quan blamed Ji Ping: "What kind of officials did you choose for this East Palace?"

Hearing this, Ji Ping quickly fell down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Seeing that Zhao Quan was really dissatisfied, Ji Ping had no choice but to calm down his emotions first, and then make plans.

At the very least, Zhao Quan didn't blame the prince, which is why Ji Ping was happy. This shows that he said before that the prince just saw the lights and festoons at home and felt sad, which also made Zhao Quan feel a little relieved for Zhao Ziji's filial piety.

"Then I ask you, this prince went to pray for me, so he prayed, why didn't he explain the whole story to the people, the way is so clear, but let the people come in disorder, block the city gates, and block the streets?"

Zhao Quan asked Ji Ping coldly, and then said softly: "You are also an old minister by my side, get up and answer!"

Ji Ping stood up slowly, and said to Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed due to the minister's ineffectiveness, and he is willing to accept the punishment! But according to the old minister, this matter is not a disaster, but a blessing!"

"Huh?" Zhao Quan frowned, and asked, "Blessing? Where did the blessing come from?"

Ji Ping approached Zhao Quan, and said in a low voice: "The prince is gentle, gentle and virtuous, and won the hearts of the people, which shows the fortune of the royal family, and also shows that the emperor has chosen a wise master for the sake of the world!"

Zhao Quan snorted expressionlessly when he heard this, and said, "But I'm not dead yet!"

Well, now it's time to worry about the hearts of the people.

Although Zhao Quan didn't say anything, what he meant was that the people in the capital love the prince, but they forgot about him as the emperor!

Ji Ping was silent for a while, and then said to Zhao Quan: "The emperor can send Yang Gonggong to the gate of the city, as long as there is an imperial decree, the people will definitely disperse!"

"If not?" Zhao Quan asked back.

Seeing that Zhao Quan was still very angry, Ji Ping could only sigh slightly in his heart.

This emperor, Ji Ping has stayed by his side all his life, how can he not understand his temperament?

The turbulence in the early years, and the open and secret struggle with the former three princes made the emperor in front of him more scheming, and the city was also unfathomable. If he doubted something, even eight cows would not be able to pull it back!

So Ji Ping had no choice but to say: "If this is the case, then the old minister is willing to be punished!"

Zhao Quan thought for a while and said, "Alright!"

Then, he began to order people to draw up an order, and then called Yang Yuting.

As soon as Yang Yuting entered the gate, Zhao Quan handed him the imperial decree and said to him, "Please Yang Aiqing, go to the west gate and deliver the decree for me to dismiss the people!"

Yang Yuting was a soldier, and he only knew that the military order was like a mountain. Zhao Quan personally issued the order, so naturally he didn't ask too many questions, so he rode a fast horse and went to the west gate to announce the decree!
After riding away, Zhao Quan and Ji Ping waited for Yang Yuting's reply in the palace.

At the west gate of the capital, the people waited for a long time, but the prince did not come back. The soldiers sent to Xiangguo Temple to inquire also came back, and said loudly to the crowd: "The prince asked for a peace talisman for the emperor. When the consecration was finally performed, the yin and yang money was old. It's not a pair..."

When the people heard this, they immediately became anxious.

How can this be good!Yin-yang money is a kind of fortune-telling. It is to throw two special fish-eye copper coins in the air, and then the front and back of the two Yin-yang coins are the same. If you succeed three times in a row, it is considered successful !
This yin and yang coin is oval, with both sides equally smooth, and it does take some luck to turn the same yin and yang face up three times in a row.

Obviously, the fortune teller didn't feel very good today, and lost contact dozens of times without success!

What should I do?
Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan looked at each other, and there was some helplessness in their eyes.

The crown prince is asking for a peace talisman for the emperor. This is the last step. If he fails, he will not give up. Of course, he has to wait!

So Shi Zhongyuan stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, the emperor is auspicious, and I believe there is nothing wrong with this yin and yang money!"

Yes!Who is the emperor?That's the one!Could it be that he can't beat two yin and yang coins?

So the people felt relieved, and after a while, someone shouted in the crowd: "Why don't we all kneel down together and pray for the emperor, maybe the yin and yang money will be doubled!"

When everyone heard this, it was a good idea. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle. Instead of everyone waiting here, it is better to help the emperor and the prince to do something!
This is the characteristic of the ancient people. They stood at the bottom of the society, but they worked hard and were loyal to the court!They are large in number, but simple and lovely.

More than 2000 people knelt down on the street, and then prayed for blessings. The shock of this scene is beyond your imagination, and it even surprised Yang Yuting who came to announce the imperial decree!
