Chapter 2378 The Delayed Grand Court Meeting

In previous years, the Great Court Meeting was held on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but this year, on the first day of the fifth year of Xuande's reign, there was no movement.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no need to go to the palace to attend the more ceremonial court meeting. Most of the officials felt happy that they were celebrating the New Year at home.

As for some people who said that the emperor might have some health problems, this rumor disappeared immediately after the news came that Fang Xing and his family were visiting the city.

If the emperor had a health problem, even if Fang Xing was not at home waiting for news, he would not be in the mood to take his family shopping.

Moreover, whenever the emperor fell ill, the outside world always speculated, and military generals were needed to command the guards in Beijing to suppress him.

But on the first day of the new year, the city of Peiping was no different from the past. It can be seen that the news of the emperor's illness was purely a rumor.

So everyone was peaceful and just wanted to have a good New Year.

But at this moment, someone suddenly came to the palace and informed those who were qualified to participate in the imperial meeting to enter the palace according to the time on the morning of the third day of the lunar month.

…

In the early morning of the third day of the lunar month, while the stars were still hanging in the sky, hundreds of officials came.

Fang Xing came a little early today, and the left and right doors were not opened.

Zhang Fu also came early, but this was his style, and Fang Xing couldn't imitate it.

The two of them stood talking in a shed under the city, and several officials nearby took the initiative to avoid them.

"Your potatoes are not young anymore. In the past, Shuhui would say it was too early when she came to the house, but even if you are getting married at the age of eighteen, you have to decide on a girl first, otherwise all the good girls will be snatched up by other families. , do you want the potatoes to wait for a smaller batch? "

"Old cow eating young grass? That's not bad."

Fang Xing said shamelessly: "If nothing else, Tudou, at least he is not a child who is stupid at studying. He can support a family. What girl wouldn't want to marry such a child?"

Zhang Fu said with deep approval: "You have a way of teaching your disciples and your son. Ma Su is calm in the official department, but he has already established a firm foothold. Li Ermao is in the capital inspection court, but he also has a job in Zhan Shi's house, just waiting for the opportunity. Once you arrive, you can soar to the sky!”

Speaking of these two disciples, Fang Xing turned around and saw Ma Su and Li Ermao talking behind him, so he waved, "Come here."

Many officials came at this moment, and Fang Xing's behavior attracted people's attention, so everyone watched in silence as Ma Su and Li Ermao walked into the shed.

This is a master-disciple alliance!

Some people whispered this judgment, some people's eyes lit up, and some people were dismissive.

Zhang Fu watched the two people come in, secretly envious in his heart.

As the head of the Zhang family, why wouldn't he want someone to help him in the officialdom?

But he is a martial artist, and once he starts to form a party, he will be ready to lose his head at any time.

Ma Su and Ma Su are not only Fang Xing's disciples, but also known as the emperor's disciples. What's their future?

Zhang Fu shook his head slightly, suppressed the envy in his heart, and said: "This year's court meeting is two days late, I'm afraid something big will happen."

This was an implicit reminder. Fang Xing said, "It's okay, the biggest thing is over."

This is also a reminder.

Ma Su said: "Teacher, the biggest thing is to clean up and donate. After that, the disciple feels that this dynasty is the real prosperous era, and it is worthy of a special mention in the history books in the future."

Li Ermao also said: "Teacher, the Great Court Meeting has been postponed until now. I wonder if some people often mention the ancestral system and use it to suppress Your Majesty..."

Zhang Fu sighed: "Dehua, I envy you now. Emperor Wen refused to place you in the civil and military ranks and let you run around on both sides. Now it seems that you have achieved fruitful results, which is enviable!"

Fang Xinggong cupped his hands. Zhang Fu knew what he meant and walked out of the shed.

Yang Rong also came and was talking to Yang Shiqi. When he saw this, he said: "The British Duke and Uncle Xinghe know the rules and are not willing to give room for words. This is good!"

Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is booming, what we are most afraid of is forming parties. Once someone forms a party, it will definitely be troublesome. If you want to do things again, it will be difficult."

Yang Rong nodded, "Yes! Party strife harms the country, and the history is stained.

Who can quibble? "

Yang Shiqi knew what he meant, so he whispered: "Your Majesty has made a big move to move the gentry. There are some signs of a clique in the court. Those people are jumping up and down. I heard that it has already taken shape. Be careful!"

Zhu Zhanji is not a person who tolerates cliques. If he uses thunderous means to suppress people again, the civil servants will really lose face.

Jin Youzi also came over there. When he came over, Yang Rong didn't avoid him and said, "I can't control others, but we must not form cliques, otherwise the future of Ming Dynasty will be worrying."

When Jin Youzi heard this topic, he thought of the recent atmosphere in the court and said, "It's not worrying. Once His Majesty gets angry, the whole court will be empty!"

Yang Shiqi knew that he was speaking out of anger, so he said: "Those people are relying on Your Majesty to be unable to wipe out all the officials in the court, so they dare to secretly collude with the party. It's hateful!"

Yang Rong didn't know this truth. He said helplessly: "Judging from the cleanup of the north and south, His Majesty is very tough today. Even if he doesn't move now, these people will not be able to please him in the future!"

Jin Youzi looked at the door that slowly opened in front of him and said: "The gentry's grievances are great, but mainly the common people's grievances are not small. That's why Your Majesty is in trouble, so they dare to try to get together, hey!"

The doors on the left and right were slowly opened, and the honor guard went in first.

All the officials began to gather and stand, waiting for the signal.

At this moment, a few stars can still be seen in the sky, and the starlight is a bit bleak.

Later, the ceremonial guards were in place, and the bells rang.

The civil and military officials lined up and entered the Meridian Gate from the left and right side gates.

After entering the Meridian Gate, they walked all the way to the side of the Jinshui Bridge, and everyone began to re-form.

A eunuch shouted loudly on the side: "Civil officials are on the left, and military officials are on the right. You must not stand in the wrong place."

Xu Jingchang and Fang Xing stood together, whispering: "Where should those who are neither civil nor military stand?"

Fang Xing stood on the side of the military hero today, and smiled when he heard it: "Then stand in the middle."

The civil and military officials stood opposite each other, quietly waiting to see the emperor.

Later, a whip sounded, and the ministers went over one by one until they arrived in front of the Fengtian Hall and stood on the steps.

Later, the emperor came, and there was music. After he took his seat, another whip sounded, and someone shouted: "Enter the class!"

The next step was the procedure. After the ceremony was completed, they began to report.

But this was the third day of the New Year, and the officials were on vacation. What was there to report?

The grand court meeting was actually just a formality.

But you have to go through the motions, and do it well.

Hu Yi left the class, coughed, and began to recite an article he had memorized.

The content of this article was mostly praising the achievements of the Ming Dynasty last year, praising the emperor's hard work, and the diligence of the ministers.

"Flatterer!"

Xu Jingchang complained in a low voice.

Fang Xing also felt that the court meeting was meaningless, and it was better to sleep in at home.

After reciting a long and boring memorial, clouds finally appeared in the sky.

It was the coldest at this time, and officials who were afraid of the cold seemed to shrink their heads. The censor saw them and did not impeach them for their misconduct, which was considered empathy.

"You have worked hard for a year, I feel the same, you have all worked hard."

Zhu Zhanji had a good start, and the ministers hurried to thank him.

While the king and his ministers were enjoying themselves, Liu Guan came out of the class, coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been in the south for a long time. I saw that although the people can have enough food, they don't have much money. I also thought about persuading them to raise some livestock to earn some living, but in the end I lacked the capital and the surplus food was not enough to feed them, so I put it aside."

The drama is coming!

All the ministers perked up and listened carefully.
