Sun Chuanting, who had seen the power of Wei Zhongxian, knew that the palace guards of the Tianqi Dynasty would even ask a few questions, and even if they were asked, they would be scolded. As for the irritable eunuch, they would be light in their fights.

Moreover, the official in the middle was obviously from the palace. He should have just gone out of this sect to announce the imperial edict. The palace guard should have seen it, but when he came back to pay the imperial edict, he still checked it. Sun Chuanting also felt that the palace guard was a little unlucky.

Sun Chuanting was thinking about whether to come forward to persuade him, but he was afraid that he would be a stepping stone for the middle-level official.

While hesitating, the middle official took out his waist card and handed it to the palace guard for inspection. He didn't dare to say a single word of complaint.

Sun Chuanting was stunned on the spot in an instant.

‘It changed, it changed, everything changed.’

Sun Chuanting murmured to himself that he didn't even hear the palace guard's question, but the middle-official next to him helped him say something first.

"This is the official that the emperor wants to summon. Sun Chuanting, the Ministry of Personnel's Chief Certification Officer, just arrived from Shanxi."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sun Chuanting quickly retracted his mind, and then the official said, "I am indeed Sun Chuanting, and I am ordered to go to the palace to see the emperor."

Hearing this, the palace guard bowed again and then stood up and said, "Mr. Sun, please show your confession."

Because of the example of the official in the previous period, Sun Chuanting quickly took out his confession and handed it to the palace guard.

Because he was a naive face, the palace guard stared at Sun Chuanting for a long time before letting the group go.

When he approached the Chengtian Gate, Sun Chuanting found a stone slab standing beside the gate, writing: The guards are sacred and cannot be violated.

Only then did Sun Chuanting understand what was the confidence of the palace Wei Bingbing's law impartiality.

Passing through Chengtian Gate, Sun Chuanting followed the middle official to Duanmen again. Several soldiers stood motionless in front of Duanmen, and their outfits were also normal, but this time they did not check the identity of the group again.

After passing Duanmen, there are six direct rooms and Zhongshu Departments. There are more people coming in and out, but they are all in a hurry and seem very busy.

The Sixth Department is a more ruthless role than the censor of the Inspectorate. Not only does it have the power to impeach the ministers, but it also has the position of refuting the cabinet and the emperor's edicts. Although the Sixth Department is a small official of the sixth rank of 7th rank, it has a great power, and it is truly a low position and has a strong position.

Moreover, the six subjects have the convenience of meeting the saints at any time. The bullet chapter can be handed over to the emperor in person. If anyone is targeted by the six subjects, there will be no room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting didn't dare to look at it anymore, and followed the middle official in a hurry.

Before coming to the Meridian Gate, there was the same guard. Like the guards at the front door, they did not check the identity of everyone. They all gave everyone a gift through the Zuoye Gate and entered.

Only after entering Duanmen were the only one who truly arrived at the inner city of the imperial city. In the small square in front of Huangji Gate, the Yu River under the five white marble jade bridges passed through the east and west palace walls. The Huiji Gate on the west side and the Guiji Gate on the east side.

Inside Huijimen is the location of Wenhua Hall and the Cabinet, and the Imperial House and the Imperial House are also among them. It is the true center of the Ming Dynasty and the place that literati in the world have always dreamed of.

Inside Guijimen on the west side is the Sixth Department Gallery, which is the office location for the Sixth Department staff.

Sun Chuanting looked sideways, but saw many people working inside the doors on both sides.

Didn't dare to stay, Sun Chuanting followed the Zhongguan across the White Marble Bridge and came to the Huangji Gate. He was also the same guard, but this time the guard came up to check everyone's identities again.

With the previous reference, without the guard speaking, Sun Chuanting handed over the prosecutor.

After the guard carefully examined it, he returned the proclamation to Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting was about to step into the door, but was stopped by the guard.

"Mr. Sun, I want to search."

Seeing that Sun Chuanting was not clear, the official came over and said.

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he nodded. Those who are close to the emperor must not be able to carry sharp weapons. Searching for their bodies is also the subject. Then he imitated the official to spread his arms and the guards stepped forward to search for their bodies.

Everyone knew the rules of entering the palace, so they naturally would not bring any objects such as swords. After the guards searched, they were quickly released.

The group entered the Huangji Gate and came to the big square in front of the Huangji Hall. As early as the year when Sun Chuanting became a Jinshi, he received the Qionglin Banquet given by the emperor here, and he was the Emperor Wanli at that time.

Later, because Emperor Wanli and Emperor Xizong were not happy to attend court, Sun Chuanting released another county magistrate, so he rarely entered the palace.

At this time, I saw the majestic and solemn Huangji Palace in front of me again, and I remembered the scene when I was a Jinshi at the age of 26, and I felt moved.

For ten years, the 36-year-old Sun Chuanting returned to the starting point. Except for the more wrinkles on his face, Sun Chuanting had almost no changes in his ten years of officialdom. Of course, if the official position was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, it could be considered a change.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting was a little stunned, the official greeted him and said, "Please please, Lord Sun."

Sun Chuanting quickly put away his sadness and followed the footsteps of the middle-level official.

"Father-in-law, the guards of the palace gate seem to have been changed."

One in front of the two, Sun Chuanting asked carefully.

"Mr. Sun has a good eye. This palace guard has indeed changed. Some of the meritorious people who suppressed Guizhou last year were specially promoted to guard the palace."

"No wonder."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting confirmed his guess that he had indeed been on the battlefield.

While the two were talking, a team of patrolling soldiers came from a distance, with five people in a row, and one next to them seemed to be an officer, all carrying muskets like the guards at the palace gate. Only the officer did not carry guns, but there seemed to be a short gun in the cowhide holster on his waist.

The queues of five or six people were neatly arranged, solemn and solemn, and they had a momentum while walking. They walked silently between the palaces, with only the sound of boots hitting the stone slabs.

‘It has changed, it has really changed.’

Sun Chuanting murmured to himself a few words, then asked again.

"Dad, it's a good thing to strictly prohibit the palace, but when you go to court every day, will it be too late to delay the time when all the ministers go to court? How can all the ministers not complain?"

When the Zhongguan heard this, he smiled slightly, showed two white tiger teeth, and then said, "Mr. Sun, you are old Huangsheng. Now Your Majesty has not been to court for a long time."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was slightly stunned, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley: Could this new emperor be like Jiajing, Wanli and Tianqi period, and he was also not happy to attend court?

While he was thinking, Sun Chuanting's brows suddenly became tighter.

The Zhongguan naturally noticed Sun Chuanting's strangeness and quickly stepped forward and explained.

"It is not what the adults think. Your Majesty just refuses to let officials from the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers go to court. However, the cabinet masters go to court every day. Sometimes the adults from the six ministries and nine ministers also go to court, and there are also censors from the six departments, so they go to court."
