Like the night owl lurking in the dark night waiting for an opportunity to move out, the Jinyiwei dispatched hundreds of people to shuttle back and forth on the quiet and dark streets of the capital.

In the quiet night, there was a bit of danger.

The next morning was different from usual. When I went to court, all the ministers got up from midnight. After washing up, they came to the palace in a carriage, horses and sedan chairs, waiting for the morning court outside the palace gate.

But this time, they were in the queue room behind Wuying Palace.

Although there was no need to get up early to prepare, everyone refused to neglect. They all got up early and waited for the communication in front of them in the queue.

Soon, Eunuch Yu's apprentice Tinglu came over and said to everyone: "Sir, please."

The officials looked at each other, and immediately tidied up their clothes, and then hurried forward.

As soon as I walked out from behind Wuying Hall, I saw a familiar figure walking in from outside. It was not someone else, but Gu Tingqiu who successfully "avoided the disaster" because he did not go to the Li Mansion to attend the banquet.

He was dressed neatly and was walking forward slowly.

When everyone saw him, they immediately surrounded him. Yan Gu said, "Mr. Gu, it's been a long time since we saw him."

Zhang Lu also said: "Yes, Lord Gu, why are you so lucky?"

Gu Tingqiu glanced at them.

Even though he had not been placed under house arrest in Xuanqiong Temple before and had not experienced the bloody scene, he had heard of that incident as soon as he entered the palace this morning.

He bowed and saluted to the two of them: "My sir, I am also very surprised about what happened this time. I don't know how the emperor is now."

Yan Gu said, "This, we are planning to ask you, Lord Gu."

"Ask me?"

"Now, the emperor was assassinated and seriously injured. He was kept in the harem by the Imperial Concubine. We can't even see it at all. Lord Gu, you are a relative of the Imperial Concubine. If we don't ask you, who can we ask?"

Gu Tingqiu said: "I have just entered the palace and I still know nothing about these things."

"That's good if you know nothing,"

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "We all envious of you, Lord Gu, how can you predict the future? It seems that you know that something will happen to the Li Mansion. All officials of the fourth rank and above in the court went to the banquet, but you and Lord Heyi did not go. Now, only you are the most trusted by the Imperial Concubine. If you don't rely on this future government, who else can you rely on?"

Gu Tingqiu said calmly: "The government affairs are naturally driven by the concerted efforts of all the ministers and workers."

Yan Gu said: "Qixin? Haha, this heart is probably not easy to be united."

Gu Tingqiu glanced at them and said nothing.

Soon, everyone entered the hall together.

As usual, the door is open, magnificent, and the smooth floor can almost reflect the shadow of each of them. But this time, when everyone walked in, they no longer bowed their heads and said nothing, but looked up and looked forward.

I saw a pair of tables and chairs next to the dragon chaise.

Obviously, this was temporarily added for the sake of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the State of Wei. After all, he was only the King of Wei and could not sit on the dragon throne and use the imperial pen and red mark, so this arrangement is not surprising.

But when the ministers were really surprised, a screen was set up behind the table and chairs.

What is this for?

Just when everyone was surprised, Eunuch Yu walked into the hall and sang: "The King of Wei is here!"

All the civil and military ministers immediately retreated to both sides and knelt down. The King of Wei walked in from behind. He changed into the court robes he usually wore in court, and walked slowly to the hall step by step.

Sitting behind the table next to it.

When he sat down, all the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed one after another, "Greetings to His Highness, His Highness, His Highness, His Highness, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years,"

Zhu Chengxuan raised his hand and was about to speak, but the first word was stuck.

In fact, after getting up today, he never said a word.

He woke up earlier than all the ministers, and almost didn't close his eyes all night. When he woke up in the morning, he finished washing up early, changed into court clothes, and then sat in Chengqian Palace waiting for this moment.

Just now, when he walked into the hall and saw all the ministers kneeling at his feet, his sweat almost soaked his close-fitting clothes.

Feeling a silence, the minister below raised his head a little.

Zhu Chengxuan's face turned red.

He wanted to say flat, but he couldn't say these two words, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

Just as he was sweating profusely, a gentle voice came from the screen behind him, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face, and suddenly wiped away the anxiety and timidity in his heart.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid."

Zhu Chengxuan's heart beat, and he immediately said, "My dear friends, please calm down."

At this time, some of the ministers in the hall seemed to hear the unusual sound, and everyone stood up with surprise.

For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to say.

At this time, Zhu Chengxuan finally came to his senses.

He said, "My dear friends, you have to report to me if you have anything to do, and you have to leave the court if you have nothing to do."

The officials were quiet for a moment, but Gu Tingqiu was the first to step forward and replied: "Your Highness, I have already submitted a memorandum before. The Yellow River flood season is approaching. I hope the court can allocate money, grain and materials as soon as possible to respond."

Zhu Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had already thought of a countermeasure about this matter, but he didn't expect that Gu Tingqiu was the first to ask about it.

He immediately said: "I have issued an order to the Ministry of Revenue and allocated 300,000 stones of grain to Henan and other places first. In addition, Ouyang Xuan, a water and land transport envoy, went to appease the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and build dams."

Gu Tingqiu said: "Your Highness is wise."

After saying that, he retreated to the team.

After dealing with the first thing, Zhu Chengxuan became much more confident. Next, he successfully responded to several things reported by the ministers according to his previous expectations, and was to deal with logistics with complete plans.

Gu Tingqiu stood in the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him like this.

At this time, Cao Jiu, the Minister of War, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

Zhu Chengxuan raised his hand and said, "I have something to report."

Cao Jiu said: "A few days ago, I have submitted a report to the court that the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast are suffering, constantly plaguing the coastal towns, burning, killing and looting, and the people are suffering. Therefore, I want to ask for an order to ask the court to send troops to attack to demonstrate the power of our Great Yan Dynasty!"

"this"

When he heard this, Zhu Chengxuan's face turned pale immediately.

The Japanese pirates were indeed reported very early, but this kind of war at sea was something that the Great Yan Dynasty had never experienced since its founding. Even Zhu Feng had no experience, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty had no way to deal with it.

So, keep procrastinating.
