The weather is very hot, and the sun covers the earth like a hot cage. Even the magnificent Forbidden City is still hot.

Because it is too hot, most people would rather stay indoors without going out. In the square opposite the Ming Gate and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are occasionally only a few little eunuchs passing by here leisurely.

On that day, this was the palace where the emperor lived, and he should not make loud noises on weekdays. Whether it was a small eunuch, a palace maid, or a minister who came to the palace to meet, he should try his best to keep quiet and never show off his panic at will. This is etiquette, this is the center of civilization, and it should be a role model in the world.

But at this moment, on the wide brick and stone imperial road, there was an official wearing a black hat moving forward. Behind him were several small eunuchs from Tongzhengsi. They were in a hurry and the "black hat" led by the leader had a frightened and uneasy face.

If he looked closer, he could find that he was holding a note from Shuntian Mansion in his hand. But only this person knew that the palm of his palm was soaked in sweat when he was holding the note.

Because he walked too fast, the black hat almost staggered and almost fell down. However, the official still did not dare to stop and still walked quickly, with deep fear in his eyes.

When the official arrived at the cabinet, several eunuchs wanted to intercept them. He raised the note high and said, "If you have something important, see Mr. Li."

In just six words, no more or less.

When an outside official comes to see him, he should have informed him first, and then wait for the meeting in the tea room. If there is any official document, it must be informed by someone first. This is the rule.

It is impossible for people from Tongzhengshi to understand this.

But he did not compromise and asked for a visit immediately.

This instead made the eunuchs guarding outside the cabinet hesitate.

They knew very well that the other party was so tough that as an official, "knowing the law violated the law", in addition to being crazy about gains and losses, it was that something very urgent had to bypass the rules.

The eunuchs finally compromised. Under the scorching sun, a few long shadows were pulled out from the ground on one side of their bodies, and the eunuchs in charge only nodded at him.

Before he could return to Yu's kindness, the "Black Hat" rushed in, entered the cabinet, and walked straight into Li Dongyang's public housing as if no one was around.

Li Dongyang was sitting in the public room drinking tea at this time, looking leisurely and at ease. This is the most central place in the world and the core of envy of all scholars. Many times, although hard work, leisure time is enough to make people feel at ease. Yes, what can we ask for in this life?

The "Black Hat" stumbled in. Li Dongyang looked at the visitor and raised his eyebrows, revealing a bit of displeasure.

This 'black hat' was like flowing water and fell to the ground and said, "The official has met Mr. Li."

"What's the matter?" Li Dongyang still picked up the teacup slowly. Although he was unhappy, he still hid it in his heart.

"Mr. Li... Mr. Li Si had an accident and was beaten in Zhenguo Mansion."

"..." Li Dongyang frowned slightly.

He knew about Li Dongming going to Zhenguo Mansion. He also knew what would happen to Zhenguo Mansion. He knew even more about what would happen next! But... the one who was beaten was at most just a group of scholars. How could it be his fourth brother?

Having been in a high position for many years, his temperament was very calm. He was still ashamed of Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes. He said in a hurry: "Oh, where are you hurt?"

When I asked without saying a word, I still had many doubts in my heart, but I can't be anxious, otherwise it would be too decent.

"No, the official's words... words..." The 'black hat's forehead was sweating profusely, and finally said: "Mr. Li Si, he was cut by Duke Zhenguo."

Slashed?

Pick.

The teacup in Li Dongyang's hand fell directly to the ground.

No one can easily say the word "slash" is said. There was a punishment in the Ming Dynasty called "slaying the death of Lingchi, which means cutting off the flesh on a person's body piece by piece. This is "slash" and it is one of the most severe tortures in the world.

Li Dongyang was completely confused. He suddenly felt up, and there was no more peace as he had just now. He left the official hat and chair and walked away quickly.

‘Black Hat’ knew that Li Gong was eager to know the details, and his speech speed increased: “A total of more than ninety knives were cut, and the knife was bleeding, Mr. Li Si…”

Li Dongyang's body suddenly shook, his eyes were full of horror. His face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "See you!"

In the Wang Hua public room on the other side, Wang Hua was lowering his head and writing a memorial, but a clerk flashed in, tiptoed to him, and lowered his voice and said, "Student just..."

The pen in Wang Hua's hand could not hold it any longer. With a click, the wolf's brush fell on the memorial, and the ink traces immediately became apparent. Wang Hua said with a grin: "Where is Your Majesty?"

The clerk hurriedly said, "In Chongwen Hall, today is the day when the Hanlins talk."

"See you!" Wang Hua stood up in a hurry, his face was gloomy, he picked up the Liang Guan on the desk, put it on his head, took a deep breath, but his eyes were filled with mixed feelings.

………………………………………

In Chongwen Hall, Hanlin attendant Wang Anzhi was talking freely, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nap with the desk, and his head was thrust from time to time.

Seeing this, Wang Anzhi raised his voice: "At this time, he will see the joy of the ancients and the joy of the people, just like this first and the other later, he will see the joy of the ancients and the joy of the people..."

Zhu Houzhao was awakened and quickly cheered up. Her confused eyes looked around, and she hurriedly wiped the spit that had just overflowed with her sleeves, saying, "Is it over?"

"Report to Your Majesty, no." Wang Anzhi bowed and continued, "What I said is that the ancient people were happy with the people, and they had only been halfway through the talk. What's more, Zhao Shixuan later, there is another article "The ancient people have never wanted to do it."

Zhu Houzhao immediately showed a disappointed expression and said in a depressed voice: "Oh, then let's pick up the important ones."

The Hanlin from the two classes was both angry and funny. Wang Anzhi said with a stern face: "Every word I say is, every word is very important."

"Is that true?" Zhu Houzhao looked at the eunuchs around in surprise, feeling quite annoyed: "Okay, my dear said so much, let's continue to talk, I will continue to sleep... No, keep listening."

"His Majesty……"

At this moment, a little eunuch hurried into the hall and bowed to the ground and said, "Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Wang Hua, the grandson of the cabinet, asked for a meeting."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt energetic. When he talked, no one would disturb him even if the sky fell. What a good thing is that something happened? Where did the rebellion occur?

Ha... No matter what, it's better to hear this here if you have something to do!

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Anzhi with a regretful look, but tried hard to suppress the secret joy in her heart and said, "Transfer."
