Things start with some days ago.

The weather is warm and cold, but the imperial capital is always very lively, just like every season before. Although the city, which was established after the rise of the new dynasty, has no history or tradition, as people from all over the world gather here, it also brings a flavor of all over the world.

Accents, food, customs, and aesthetics from all over the world are intertwined and mixed together, constantly colliding and stirring, and finally forming the unique style of the imperial city. Although it is far from being able to learn from the strengths of various places, it can also be called inclusive. Here you can easily find things everywhere, or it is easier to find than elsewhere.

The massive population maintained the operation of the city.

For this world where farming is the main source of the world, the city is a pure resource consumption land. It does not produce much, but it has to swallow a large amount of resources transported from the surrounding area every day.

Whether it is grain, oil, rice and flour, pigs, sheep, ducks, fish, utensils, thatched, firewood, copper, lead, tin ingots, bamboo poles, hemp ropes, charcoal raw paint, cotton fur... all kinds of goods that are not named can be transported into the inside by truck, and then the unloaded materials are like ink dripping into the pond, quickly decomposing and dispersing, disappearing from sight.

In order to avoid this busy scene, the officials of the court often get up early and ride horses in sedan chairs, just for the sake of speed and convenience. Officials of low-grade ranks have breakfast in the alley next to Yu Street to replenish their energy while they like to go to court formally.

The previous generation of the Human Emperor set the rules of regular pilgrimage, so everyone abides by it now. All civil and military officials all got up early, and senior officials had chefs prepared food in advance or ate snacks in the car, but for these ordinary officials, they could only rush to the place and search for food nearby.

Because they are not of high grade and often have a lot of people at home, they often look shiny and have a shortage of money. Therefore, the most popular breakfast here is nothing more than soy milk, oil cakes, rice porridge, and spring noodles. The price is affordable and cheap, and it sells better than meat buns, meat pies.

It is not easy to talk about their respective grades and qualifications at street stalls. Often, the tables are the same. Everyone eats together, waits for the door to open, and chats with each other for a while. Over time, this alley has become a place for everyone to socialize and communicate with each other.

There were two low-level officials sitting together at a small wooden table, drinking soy milk and whispering:

"Have you heard it? It seems that there is something to do. It has been spreading everywhere these days. The ceremonial guards are ready. The soldiers of the imperial camp have already reviewed the past middle-level officials, pulled out the camp and are practicing traveling with them." A small official wearing a green official robe said quietly to the person who was having dinner with him.

"Of course I heard of it." Another little official was also wearing a green robe, but he had a significantly larger appetite. He ordered half a pound of fried dough sticks. After soaking it in the porridge bowl, he ate it fragrantly, and chewed it. "Although this matter is not well-known, it can be said that it is well known to everyone, but it was still too surprising when I heard it."

"I also heard that several ministers, prime ministers and officials in the court were preparing to report together to persuade the king to stop him. There will be actions in the past two days, and I don't know what the result will be." The person who spoke was worried.

"Oh, brother, don't be too anxious. Do your best and leave your fate." The other person was relatively open-minded and comforted him while eating fried dough sticks.

The two chatted for a while and felt very speculative. So after the first door opened, they met together and got up to go to court.

There is only an alley towards this direction of Yu Street, and opposite there is a large open space, covered with trees, which makes it easier for these officials to park their cars and horses. The two walked to Yu Street and saw a few tall horses opposite and a matching carved treasure cart. They secretly envied themselves, and then they merged into the current of the officials walking around and walked towards the court.

"That should be the car equipped by Prime Minister Zhou, Prime Minister Liu and Censor Zhu. They came very early today."

"We must have been prepared. It seems that the court meeting will not be calm today. Let's go quickly."

"good."

The two of them speeded up, passed through the main gate of the imperial city, and walked into the imperial city.

In fact, according to the rules of the previous dynasty, it was wrong for them to walk like this. However, the late emperor was very dissatisfied with this and said that it was chiseling out the door, which was for people to use, so he allowed all officials to go to the main door when they went to court. This was a wise decision. After all, it saved the effort and improved the efficiency. The patterns on the stone slabs on the streets of Yujie were worn out quickly and they had to be chiseled again after a few years.

The imperial city is very new, and the architectural furnishings inside are very new.

The buildings inside have been painted recently, the walls are solemn and solemn, and the gold powder painted on the carved beams is even more brilliant and solemn. Large pieces of thick glass are used on the doors and windows of the court, making the inside bright and warm.

It is a bit sleepy when you are fed with the food in your stomach. It is said that there were unlucky people who accidentally fell asleep and were punished for losing their manners. However, that happened during the late emperor and it happened three times. However, one of them was distressed because of being diligent enough and was not punished. Instead, the late emperor allowed him to go home to rest.

The court meeting is a serious matter and the venue is very spacious.

In this hall, there are nine-story high steps above the wooden armrest chairs, and six rows are placed on the left and right below. The officials who arrived first refused to take a seat, but found their own seats and stood in front of the chairs to talk. They had to wait for everyone to get together, especially after the front rows were all seated before they were willing to take a seat.

After two young officials in green robe walked in together, they quickly found a seat. Their grade was the lowest level that could be used as a court officer, or they were exposed to the position of the imperial capital, so they often had no chance to speak and just listened here. So the seats suitable for the two were also in the last row. After everyone took their seats, they sat down next to them and observed the field...

After three slow whip sounds, the meeting begins.

The Human Emperor had already sat in the middle of the chair above and sat upright at the people below.

Next, Liu Xiuwen and Prime Minister Liu stood up first, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, there has been a rumor in the capital that there will be an imperial guard on a patrol. We will come to verify the authenticity of this rumor."

Never expected such a thing to be hidden, and I knew that the other party's question was just an appetizer, but the Human Emperor could only nod and responded: "This is indeed the case."

Liu Xiuwen's voice suddenly rose. He took a step forward and continued to salute, saying with a full voice: "I don't know what your Majesty is trying to do this? Why haven't you seen any relevant documents come?"
