Just for a moment, the officials who originally looked back to check the situation immediately turned their heads and lowered their heads.

They can kneel in front of the Meridian Gate, and they can be shameless and do not have the official status to kneel down.

However, you must not do this in front of these people!

Yutian took the lead and personally helped an old man from Yingtian City into the corridor.

"Old man, please walk slower and be careful where you step."

"Today there is a monkey show in the palace, as well as a troupe from Suzhou Prefecture. Your Majesty has not spoken to everyone for a few days, so the palace is free today."

Yutian was very attentive and spoke very loudly, as if he was afraid that the old men in their seventies and eighties could not hear him clearly.

But when it reached the ears of the officials in front of the Meridian Gate, it had a different flavor.

When has there ever been a monkey show in the palace? Even the troupe sings a lot of flowers, and they have to be decent and wealthy.

Besides, Your Majesty is considerate of the people, so he only summons these people to the palace during festivals and festivals, not at odd times like this.

Moreover, even if there is a banquet for the people in the palace, it should be done by people from the Twenty-Four Yamen, but it is not the chief steward of Taisun Mansion who should do such a thing. It is somewhat like Li Daiguan.

The officials lowered their heads, already thinking about everything.

More and more people came into Duanmen, and more and more people were curious about why those officials were kneeling here.

"Daban, why are these... here?"

Yutian looked sideways at the old man beside him, and then at the officials kneeling on the ground, with a hint of ridicule flashing across his face: "How can I, a slave, know about the affairs of the imperial court?"

"They must have done something wrong and were punished here by His Majesty!"

Some people behind him were already shouting loudly, and they looked like they were swearing.

Yu Tian immediately let out a sigh and asked, "There can't be so many people. I didn't know about it until now."

Another common people who were invited to the palace clapped their chests and said plausibly: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous and loves the people. It must be that they have done something wrong, so Your Majesty will punish them. Otherwise, they are full of food.

Did you come here and kneel?"

"Yeah!"

"They must have done something wrong. If they had done nothing wrong and had not made His Majesty unhappy, who would have come here and knelt down?"

The people simply thought about the problems they saw in front of them.

In the hearts of the people, the officials above the court are usually aloof, and they would like to look at people with their noses.

They stubbornly believed that if these officials had not done something wrong, it would be absolutely impossible for them to kneel in front of the Meridian Gate.

These people are here to apologize!

Yu Tian stopped talking and just looked at the Meridian Gate Gate Tower in front of him silently.

His Highness Taisun asked him to invite the people from the city into the palace, so he did so. At first I didn't know why His Highness had this idea, but now I heard the people's discussions and it became clear.

Today, His Highness invited these people to the palace to watch a play. What they saw was not the troupe, but the play in front of the Meridian Gate.

The common people who were invited into the palace became more courageous when they saw that no one was stopping them from discussing.

The emperor had nothing to say to the people in recent years. In the early years, when people encountered injustice, they would come to the palace to complain to the emperor.

What's more, these people in Yingtian City, at the feet of the Emperor.

I am naturally more courageous than the people outside.

Seeing that there was no one to stop them, the officials lowered their heads one by one, and the people became more and more determined that these officials had done something wrong.

then.

Then a white-haired old man came to an official with a cane.

The old man, who was trembling when walking and needed the help of his chamberlain, actually hit the official on the back with his crutches.

"Let you bad-hearted people make His Majesty angry, and the old man will beat you to death!"

In front of the Meridian Gate, chaos instantly broke out as the old man raised his stick to slap the official.

The servants stepped forward to help and pull him, but they did not dare to use too much force for fear that something would happen to the old man in the palace.

And the official who was beaten did not dare to resist at all.

If someone's life happened because of my own carelessness, then I really can't defend myself.

The palace officials who were kneeling around him quietly moved their knees, trying to stay away from the place of right and wrong.

As for the common people, seeing that no one dared to stop them, more and more people joined in.

It is not often that you have the opportunity to beat an official without being blocked.

For a time, the common people who entered the palace no longer wanted to see the emperor eagerly. They surrounded the officials who were kneeling on the ground and beat them.

"stop fighting!"

"stop fighting!"

"Stop fighting!"

There was complete chaos in front of the Meridian Gate, turning into a pot of porridge.

Yu Tian kept shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to stop the chaotic scene in front of him, but he just stood there without moving a step.

Zhai Shan and others in front of the officials had already seen the people who were brought into the palace, but they didn't know what to do at first. Now they saw that these people were beating the court officials, and there was a rush of scalps on the spot.

numb.

Seeing that all these people were older than themselves, they didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear of causing even greater trouble and causing loss of lives.

Zhai Shan and others rushed over with panic on their faces.

Zhai Shan, who was already angry and angry, forgot about the decent rules of the former court and the harem, and reached out to grab the collar of Yutian who was standing aside and watching the excitement.

"What's going on! You're so good, why are you bringing these people into the palace? Why don't you pull them away quickly!"

Yu Tian looked at Zhai Shan calmly and was not angry: "Zhai Butang, this is your majesty's oral message. Today I will have fun with the people in the palace. The people feel that these adults have done something wrong and made your majesty unhappy, so they are here

Let me vent your anger for Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, why do you need them to vent your anger?" Zhai Shan blew his beard and glared, with a face full of anxiety: "Why don't you hurry up and get someone to pull them away, and take them into the palace quickly."

Yutian shrugged, showing a helpless expression: "I don't dare. If something happens to these people, I can't afford it."

Zhai Shan was completely helpless.

These common people who entered the palace were all guests of the emperor. Something happened to the guests invited by the emperor as soon as they arrived at the door, and the emperor's face was lost.

Zhai Shan could only let go of Yutian, turned around and looked at the retreating common people who were beating the officials, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. They have done nothing wrong. Your Majesty does not need your help to vent your anger."

.His Majesty invites you all to come to the palace to have fun today, so everyone should enter the palace early."

"It doesn't matter whether you are a minister or not!"

Out of nowhere, someone scolded Zhai Shan.

Then came the denunciation of countless people, drowning Zhai Shan, the dignified official minister of the Ming Dynasty, in a shower of spittle.

"These people have done nothing wrong, how can they still kneel in the palace?"

"I bother!"

"The old man thinks that these people think that His Majesty is easy to bully. Now they have made His Majesty unhappy and scared, so they are kneeling here."

"Your Majesty is a good man! Your Majesty is not willing to beat them and punish them, so these old men are helping your Majesty vent his anger!"

"Take out your anger for Your Majesty!"

"..."

The common people must be simple, sincere and pure.

This is what officials expect from the people.

Therefore, when a group of gray-haired old men in their seventies and eighties beat them without shaking their feet, the officials present did not dare to fight back.

It's just that every official present, no matter what kind of beating they received, their faces were livid, and their hearts were filled with annoyance.

What happened today will definitely spread throughout the city without waiting until tomorrow, and the people will be like the old people here now, who stubbornly and firmly believe that they, the court officials, did something wrong.

Yutian, the general manager of Taisun Mansion, sat idly by and did nothing, which also made the officials react.

This is the Emperor's grandson's move.

Hit them directly in the face.

A solid slap, and his face fell to the ground.

Wang Jun's face looked a little gloomy. He glanced at the eunuch from Taisun's Mansion next to him and snorted coldly: "How can you do whatever you want in the important place of the imperial city? The Ming Dynasty has Ming Dynasty laws. Even if you are guilty, you should be punished.

The law rules. Since you have been summoned to the court by His Majesty today, you should not forget the Emperor's grace. How can you put His Majesty's face by making such noise here?"

The Minister of State spoke up, and his words were naturally majestic.

Coupled with Wang Jun's bright red robe, the official power is even more profound.

After reprimanding and admonishing the people who were venting their inexplicable anger and saying they were venting their anger on His Majesty's behalf.
