In the Forbidden City.

Dozens of eunuchs were holding glass palace lanterns in their hands, standing on both sides of the imperial road, illuminating the Ganqing Gate.

Under the light, the copper gilded lions on both sides of the Imperial Road Stone looked angry.

On the platform under the eaves of Ganqing Gate, the emperor sat on the imperial chair and finished reading all the memorials, and the books of the people were held in his palm.

At this time, Yu Guangli, the eunuch on duty at the Ganqing Gate, was already escorted by Zhang Cheng and the imperial guards.

Yu Guangli trembled and kowtowed, "Slave Yu Guangli bowed to the emperor!"

The emperor looked at Yu Guangli under his feet and asked, "Yu Guangli, how many years have you been a servant in the palace?"

"It has been twenty-five years since the villain entered the palace at the age of nine."

"Twenty-five years! It's also an old man in the palace. You know the rules in the palace better than me. Who told you to block people?"

Yu Guangli bowed his head and said, "No one greeted his slaves, just because of the rules of his ancestors."

"The rule of ancestors asked you to stop the books of the people? The person who came here was not someone else, but my envoy to the government! A dignified third-rank official! You can stop anyone, why dare to stop him?"

"Report to the emperor, the slave is confused, and the slave is confused for a moment, so I beg the emperor to spare my life."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "The matter has not been explained clearly yet, why can you spare your life? You are a small eunuch who does not dare to do this. I will ask you another question, who gave it to me?"

Yu Guangli buried his head on the ground, his body trembling constantly.

"Is it someone around me? He? He? Or him?"

The emperor stretched out his fingers to the Sili Supervisor and printed Zhang Hong, and several eunuchs with pens.

The slave dare not.

Several eunuchs who bridal pens were already trembling, while Zhang Hong's expression was calm.

At this time, Zhang Hong kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, sages have reason, but ancestors also have laws and regulations. This matter is commanded by the slave, and it is the culprit of the slave."

"It's you?" The emperor glanced at Zhang Hong suspiciously. He knew that Zhang Hong was very sympathetic and had no selfishness towards the emperor.

The emperor said, "Zhang Hong, do I know your character? Don't take care of the people below you for everything."

"But I also know that all the big and small things in the palace can't hide your eyes. Who is instructing me behind the scenes? You know clearly but don't want to say it? Is it right to take this matter for him?"

Zhang Hong knelt down on the ground and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, it was indeed instructed by the slave. This matter has nothing to do with others. Seeing that Your Majesty has worked hard for a long time, I told the people below not to disturb the emperor no matter what. Yu Guangli is also a solid person and just followed the servant's words to do it."

The emperor smiled and said, "Zhang Hong, you...you are very good. You have always been very good to me and the Queen Mother, Lu Wang."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Hong lost his voice.

The emperor stood up and looked at the dark night sky on the palace walls, and said leisurely: "Do you think I am still the teenager who was the first teenage child, and can be deceived by you all day long?"

Zhang Hong kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive the king. Everything is my sin. I am willing to go to Yingtian to guard the tomb for Taizu."

"There is already a Feng Bao in Xiaoling!" The emperor said, then slapped the white marble railing with his palm, "First it was Mr. Zhang, then Feng Daban, they all left. Now do you want to abandon me and leave?"

The wind blew, and the palace lanterns swayed.

Zhang Hong was silent for a long time and said, "I will bear the holy grace, but I will know my sins."

The emperor said: "I can always turn a blind eye on my eyes, but what is this? This is the Book of the People! How dare you deceive me with this matter?"

Zhang Hong was silent for a while, straightened up and said, "Yu Guangli, you will tell the truth in front of Your Majesty. Your life belongs to the emperor, but I can plead with the emperor, leave you a whole body and let your descendants return to their throne."

Yu Guangli lay on the ground, and after hearing this, his body trembled, and then tears fell down, and he cried, "Guangli...Guangli thanked his ancestors for their grace. This kind of grace can only be repaid in the next life!"

"Tell me! Who instructed you?" Zhang Hong said.

Yu Guangli glanced at the emperor, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Report to Your Majesty, it's Cining Palace!"

After saying this, Yu Guangliren was paralyzed on the ground, and the emperor shook his body, and the eunuchs on both sides supported him and said, "Emperor! Emperor!"

"I'm fine!" The emperor pointed at Yu Guangli and then let it go. After a long time of silence, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, this matter ends here. Yu Guangli, I'll spare your life, but don't see you in the future!"

Yu Guangli was immediately taken out of the palace.

Zhang Hong kowtowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for Yu Guangli."

Yu Shenxing and Ni Wanguang were both silent. The affairs of the Tian family were not something they could interfere with. It was harmful to hear about them when they heard about this.

Yu Shenxing was not afraid and put life and death aside. Ni Wanguang felt as if he was completely disappointed. His career ended here.

Just then, footsteps came from outside.

But I saw Zhu Geng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, arrive.

Zhu Geng just saw that Yu Guangli was dragged away, his foot disease was cured immediately, and he rushed to Qianqing Gate in two steps at one time.

"My minister Zhu Geng kowtows to Your Majesty!" Zhu Geng kowtowed to the emperor loudly.

The emperor looked at Zhu Geng, looked at Yu Shenxing, and then said, "It's very good that both gentlemen have come. It seems that the principles of sages are still useful. This is the memorial from the Book of Wan Min and the officials in Henan. You are going to offer it. I have read it. Do you know what is written in the memorial?"

Zhu Geng, Yu Shenxing kowtowed and said, "I don't know."

The emperor chuckled and said, "That's a pity. The memorial is well written. It's a brilliant text. I want to read it again. But only you two are with me. I can't read it well. I will summon the three auxiliary ministers, officials above the fourth rank in the court, and the princes and ministers, who are all called to accompany me to read it together overnight!"

Everyone looked at each other.

The emperor looked around and said, "What are you still standing there? I ring the Jingyang bell and shouted all the officials on the night!"

Dongdong!

The Jingyang Bell rang.

In the Huangji Palace, a huge candle is like an arm.

Dozens of officials were in the hall.

The emperor sat behind the imperial desk, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand and drinking it with spoons.

The officials in the entire hall were waiting.

At this time, the emperor put down his bowl: "It's so late. This is the first time I have summoned all the ministers and workers in Huangji Palace. Have you all used the meal? Mr. Shen has used it?"

Shen Shixing, who was wearing a python robe and was listed among the heads of the ministers, answered cautiously: "Your Majesty asked, I have used it."

"That's good, I have just used it. I was worried that all the ministers would come in a hurry, so I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare more. Seeing that you have used it, I feel relieved!"

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your concern." The ministers said.

"I and you still have a happy meal here, but do you know that the people of Henan have already eaten the bark and grass roots? They can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, and they can't even eat the bark and grass roots in two months. When you eat the salary of the court here, has anyone ever thought about them?"
