When Ye Chunqiu heard Liu Gong's summons again, he was not surprised. It was a few days before the end of the year, and Ye Chunqiu did not dare to neglect it. He quickly entered the palace and went to the cabinet to pay homage.

This past few days, it was Ye Chunqiu's second time to arrive in the cabinet. However, this time, Liu Jian's attitude was obviously much worse than last time.

Not only him, even Xie Qian looked indignant.

When Liu Jian saw Ye Chunqiu, his face finally calmed down a little, but he still frowned and said, "Since recently, is there any rumors in the palace?"

Ye Chunqiu looked surprised and said, "When you come back to Mr. Liu, the officials have been practicing troops these days. Since the talk, it is the first time I have been entering the palace when I see Mr. Liu today. What is the situation? The officials don't know much about it."

Liu Jian was silent for a moment, and Ye Chunqiu said this, which was reasonable.

Ye Chunqiu has indeed not gone to the attendance room these days and has been in the camp all the time. Liu Jian wants to inquire, isn't he still clear?

Since he didn't even enter the palace, how could he know what happened in the palace?

"Cough cough..." Li Dongyang, who was sitting beside him, said with a faint smile: "Chunqiu, you don't have to be afraid. Mr. Liu was just anxious and had no intention of blaming you, but... have you seen any clues before?"

Clues? Ye Chunqiu looked confused and said respectfully: "I would like to ask Mr. Li for advice."

Xie Qian, the most honest, was anxious and said, "At the end of the year, Your Majesty should worship the Taimiao. Do you know this?"

I don’t know that there are ghosts. Ye Chunqiu is at least Hanlin. This is a common sense issue. Worshiping the Taimiao is the most concerned thing in the country every year. The most important thing for Eastern people is to respect the heaven and the ancestors. This is the core belief of the Confucian Zhou Li. Heaven is naturally the gods, and ancestors are the ancestors.

In other words, the gods are too far away from people after all, but their ancestors are indispensable.

As the emperor, this Dharma ancestor is indispensable. Therefore, when the end of the year, leading all officials to worship the Taimiao is the most important etiquette of the dynasty. At that time, almost all officials will participate, even the envoys will be no exception.

Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "The officials will know."

Xie Qian said with a depressed and heartbroken look on his face, "But His Majesty seems to be likely to wear his golden armor to worship."

Golden armor goes to sacrifice...

When Xie Qian said it, Liu Jian's old face twitched obviously. In fact, when he thought of this possibility, Liu Jian's heart was heartbroken.

Golden armor... Damn, Liu Jian felt that he had hit a ghost. Since the beginning of the Qin Emperor, there have been rules for building Taimiao in all dynasties, and Taimiao is the most important symbol of the country. Therefore, the country often perishes and is called the destroying of its ancestral temples. Why? Because the ancestral temple is a country. Without ancestors, where did the legal system come from?

If he really wore golden armor to worship, it was almost imagined that Zhu Houzhao would definitely become famous because he would be the first emperor in history to do such a thing.

There are so many tyrants in history, but no matter how cruel they are, some of them are even shameless, but they dare not play tricks on the ancestral temple.

Ancestors... have to be treated respectfully after all.

When Ye Chunqiu heard this, he was of course surprised. He could understand Liu Jian and others' feelings very well. If he was a bachelor of the cabinet, he would have to vomit blood.

Think about it, you are the prime minister, right? In the eyes of the world, your duty is to assist the emperor, and if necessary, you must correct the emperor's behavior. But once the emperor plays like this, the emperor will of course curse you, and you, the ministers, will not be spitting out on your face? Why didn't you stop him? Why did Your Majesty become like this? Didn't your ministers make you neglect?

Ye Chunqiu said, "Then why don't you stop me quickly and ask Your Majesty to take back his life?"

Ye Chunqiu's "question" is correct. Since you all know that the little emperor is going to make trouble, what else can you say? At this point, hurry up and lead all officials to hit the pillars and break big stones on your chest, and even if the little emperor is bold, he will never be able to do it alone.

Then Liu Jian stumbled for a moment, but sighed heavily.

Xie Qian felt disgusted as if he had eaten a fly: "Why didn't you go? I went there, but Your Majesty said that he had no intention of doing such a thing. He said that he had also read books and knew that the importance of worshiping the Taimiao was that he would never do anything disrespectful to his ancestors."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he sighed relieved: "If this is the case, wouldn't that be great? It seems that the officials are worried."

Xie Qian raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily: "Bad!" The dignified cabinet scholar actually said such a vulgar words. It can be seen that Xie Qian was really anxious. He continued with red eyes: "Your Majesty also said that he asked someone to wipe his golden armor because he wanted to go back and wear it after sacrificing the ancestral temple."

Ye Chunqiu almost didn't hold back and wanted to laugh out loud.

But I have to bear it. If I can't help it, several cabinet bachelors will definitely remove all his bones.

In fact, the fundamental problem here is that when the cabinet heard the news and ran to question it, the emperor's attitude was interesting. Of course, he decisively rejected it and acted righteously, saying how could I be such a person? I would never do such a thing.

In this way, you will not be able to sue you.

As a result, the emperor's explanation was even more exciting. I just planned to wear it after the sacrifice.

Sacrifice to the Taimiao is a lengthy ceremony. It is usually impossible to end until dark. Think about it, in this dark sky, the little emperor sacrificed his ancestors for a day, and then went back, and was still wandering around the palace wearing golden armor?

What a scam is this.

Since Your Majesty is fooling you, the biggest possibility is that Your Majesty is lying, and wearing it after the sacrifice is a lie, then the emperor said that he would never wear it during the sacrifice is a lie.

Others may not be able to do such a thing, but who dares to make this guarantee today?

Since he would never admit that he would pass on the golden armor to sacrifice, what if he had a big time playing, what if he changed the golden armor when he went to the sacrifice?

Looking back not long ago, he appeared in Chongwen Hall wearing golden armor. This is absolutely possible. At that time, all officials will be caught off guard. When they react, it will be too late.

But the problem now is that even if you want to persuade him, it seems difficult to find an excuse. How can you persuade him? You say, Your Majesty, no, that little emperor probably immediately acts serious. I have never thought about such a thing. I will never do such a bad thing.

And at this time... what can you say?

So... everyone is now in a difficult situation because they found that before the sacrifice, no one knows what excessive things this little emperor would do.
