Chapter 201

The Donghua Gate was closed tightly, and the tall and majestic palace gate seemed to be a cold wall, separating the inside and outside of the palace into two worlds.

Among the kneeling courtiers, there were also many petty officials who wanted to take this opportunity to show their faces.Their official positions are not high on weekdays, they can't make friends with important people, they don't have much ability, they can't make any political achievements, and they can't be promoted.It just happened to be such a big event in the government and the public, and they felt that the opportunity had come, so they wanted to give it a go and leave a good impression on those ministers who usually have their eyes above the top.Anyway, there are so many high-ranking people there, even if the emperor is furious and wants to punish them, he won't really do anything. We can't convict these pillars of the court together, can we?As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there will always be a tall person to hold it up. Anyway, this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages.Once the victors are the ministers, they can follow suit.

Isn't it just kneeling, even though the sun is a little higher, it's no big deal, those ministers are much older than them, and of course their physical strength is better than those old men.

Among these people, there was the "Brother Wu" that Han Yi had met at the oiran election meeting - Wu Song.

Wu Song is a person with little ability. He has been in the county magistrate of Liangfang in the capital for several years, but there is still no improvement.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeves, looked up at the sun in the sky, and immediately lowered his head, it was too dazzling.

Some older courtiers in the crowd showed signs of being unable to hold on, but there were people on both sides supporting him tightly, and even so they refused to leave... Wu Song was a little impressed.I thought to myself that it is no wonder that people can sit in such high positions. It turns out that they are all people with great perseverance.

But he doesn't know what these people are insisting on... Yes, he didn't even understand the reason for kneeling here, so he followed to join in the fun.He only heard when he went to the Ministry of Households to hand over the official documents that a large number of courtiers knelt down outside the Donghua Gate.

For an official with such a small position like him, it sounds like the fifth rank is quite prestigious, but at most he can only go to the local area to show off his prestige.He doesn't even have to go to court on weekdays, he is not qualified to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor.

But Donghua Gate...is outside the palace, he is still qualified to go, so he went, and then mixed into the crowd and knelt down, knelt for a long time and didn't know what he was kneeling for.He wanted to ask in a low voice, but found that there was no one around to pay him any attention, so he had to guess wildly by himself, guessing and guessing, but he didn't know what happened, because he didn't know what happened recently.

A sound sounded, interrupting his wandering thoughts, he subconsciously looked up - the Donghua Gate was opened a crack, and a little eunuch poked his head out.

Everyone looked over in unison, the little eunuch trembled under the sight of so many big men, but he still stood firm when he remembered the emperor's order.

"Is the emperor going to see us?"

The person who led the question was the Minister of Rites, who was almost 60 years old. Beside him were several white bearded and haired academicians of the Imperial Academy, all of whom were staring at the little eunuch expectantly.

The little eunuch looked embarrassed: "Master Shangshu, you are quite old, so don't kneel here, it's very hot today, take care of yourself! You should go back!"

 I wish you all a happy weekend
