Chapter 409 August 15th, the action begins (1)

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. From ancient times to the present, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been an extremely important festival in the eyes of the Chinese nation, and its importance is second only to the Spring Festival. At this time, as long as conditions permit, wanderers in the distance will return to their hometown to accompany their parents. Of course, there are also those who cannot return home and will remember their relatives from afar. Many famous works are written by those who travel far away and cannot meet their relatives.

As an emperor who doesn't have to worry about separating from his relatives, there will be many things to do, such as sacrifices. Even an emperor like Tianqi, who is completely in power, must show up on such an important festival, meet the ministers and reward them with some things before he will ask them to go home to celebrate the festival. Tianqi himself temporarily put aside his carpentry work on this day, accompanied the concubines in the harem, and used this reunion meal with some royal families who came to the palace to pay their respects.

After three minutes of Shen Shi, many members of the royal family came into the palace one after another. For these phoenix sons and grandsons who had no power and only rely on the salaries of the court, the major affairs of the family and country had nothing to do with them. They were only thinking about how to get more and richer rewards from the emperor, so they were dressed very happily and had a harmonious face. They were just waiting to meet with Emperor Tianqi, the emperor who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and rarely showed up and said some compliments.

After kowtowing to the emperor and saying goodbye, these people were seated by the eunuchs in the harem, and they could have this reunion dinner after the emperor took their seats. However, the royal etiquette was much more than that of ordinary people, so before that Emperor Tianqi had to do a series of things before he could get into the banquet.

The members of the royal family took this opportunity to talk to each other, some about what good things they got in their mansions, some about what red couples they had in the capital, and the romantic love was very lively. However, among the group of people talking about the sensuality, one of them frowned, which was completely different from the rest of the people. He was the emperor's younger brother, the king of king Zhu Youjian.

Since he took Tang Feng's entrustment, he has been preparing for this moment. But when today really came and went to the palace to meet the emperor, he realized that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought. There were many royal members around him and the emperor, and he didn't know how many of these people were related to Wei Zhongxian. If he was blocked by those people when he made a statement, it would probably not be so smooth, and it would even cause Tang Feng's overall plan to fail. Before, he had only thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival meeting the Saint was the most natural and most doubtful, but now it seems that this is also unfavorable, because when he saw the emperor, other people were also on the side.

Zhu Youjian, who was already upset, was even more annoyed when he heard the fellow disciples around him talking about these things, such as romanticism, eating, drinking and having fun, and regardless of the people's livelihood, he felt even more annoyed. Even in such a festive scene, he had a face without a smile. The others around him also saw his expression, but because of his special identity, those people did not dare to provoke him, but just talked and laughed.

After waiting for a while, after a low shout of "The Emperor is here!", Emperor Tianqi, who was rarely wearing a dragon robe, walked over with the help of several eunuchs. Zhu Youjian, like everyone, stood up from his seat after this sound, then knelt on the ground and went up the mountain and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Please be calm!" Emperor Tianqi said listlessly: "Today is my royal family dinner. If you can avoid some red tape, just treat it as a family, spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together and have a meal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone dared to get up slowly and then sit down. When they sat down, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but look at his elder brother with concern, because he could hear the voice of Emperor Tianqi was full of fatigue. This surprised him. The emperor, who was not very energetic, looked even worse today, with a pale face and not very interested, which made him unable to help but take some trouble for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Things that followed were no different from those in previous years. Everyone said some rituals. Because the emperor was present, those people were a little more restrained and dared not talk about the romantic affairs loudly. In this way, the scene seemed a little deserted, but for these people, this was a common situation.

Zhu Youjian put his hand into his sleeve, pinched the memorial, and thought about whether he would present it to the emperor at this time, but when he looked at the people around him, he still endured it. He felt that he should wait, perhaps these people would leave early because they could not stand the dullness here.

This really made Zhu Youjian look forward to it. After half an hour, someone kept leaving the banquet on the grounds of physical discomfort. But before Zhu Youjian could be happy, he saw a person he least wanted to see entered the hall. This person was Eunuch Wei who Tang Feng wanted to attack. According to his current identity, he no longer needed to serve him at such a banquet, but today Wei Zhongxian came, which made Zhu Youjian feel a little uneasy.

After Wei Zhongxian gave the emperor a gift with a smile on his face, he came to Tianqi and muttered a few words. After hearing this, Tianqi immediately smiled: "Little Wei Zi, you understand my intentions. OK, just go and arrange it." Whenever the emperor was happy, the old man Wei Zhongxian would be called Xiao Wei Zi by him. When he heard the emperor calling him like this, he had a happy expression on his face. Wei Zhongxian's fat face also smiled into a chrysanthemum.

Shortly after Wei Zhongxian left, the emperor began to reward some things, and the royal families who came for these things were naturally overjoyed. Moreover, they also saw that the emperor did not want to stay here for a long time, so after receiving the reward, they said goodbye and left one after another. In a short while, more than half of the people were missing in the hall.

"King Xin, I have just built a set of tables and chairs recently, so I will give them to you." The emperor smiled and said to Zhu Youjian.

"Thank you for your reward!" Zhu Youjian knelt down and thanked him. He didn't care what he could get. Anyway, there were only a few people in the palace, and all the expenses were distributed by the court. He had never saved anything. After rewarding him, everyone in the hall had already obtained things. After kneeling three times and nine times to the emperor again, they left the hall, and the emperor also stood up and wanted to leave.

Seeing that the emperor was about to return to the harem, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel anxious and said suddenly: "Prince, please stay. I have something to report." Tianqi stopped when he heard this, and the others who had already stood up and left looked at him in confusion, not knowing what else he had to say.

"What's the matter that I have to report to you? You're so sorry for this on Mid-Autumn Festival?" Tianqi said with curiosity.

At this time, Zhu Youjian had no way out of his sleeve, so he took out the memorial that had been wet from his sleeve, walked up and knelt down, and then held it with both hands and said to the emperor: "Emperor, my brother is taken away by someone, and I want to hand over this memorial to impeach the important officials of the dynasty in person to the emperor."

This made everyone look at him even more, and Tianqi was stunned. However, since he had already sent the bullet to him, he naturally could not refuse, so he took it over and asked, "I wonder who asked the emperor brother?"

"It's Tang Feng! Tang Feng, the comrade of the Jinyiwei!" Zhu Youjian said without any concealment: "And what he wants to impeach is the eunuch of the Silijian, who is now helping the emperor to manage the government affairs, and the governor of Wei Zhongxian, the East Factory!"

As soon as these words were said, the royal family members who were still very curious were all stunned. Although they did not ask about political affairs, they still saw the situation in the court. Although Tang Feng has become famous in the capital recently, no one would have thought that he could do such a bold thing, which is an enemy of the ministers in the court.

Emperor Tianqi was also stunned by this sentence, and he had not yet reacted for a long time. "Is this Tang Feng the man who was in Liaodong and suppressed the rebellion in Shandong?" After coming back to his senses, Emperor Tianqi asked hurriedly. Although he was not in charge of the government affairs, he still remembered those two major events, and he also remembered this Tang Feng in his mind.

"Back to the emperor, it is this Tang Feng! Now he has become a psychic of the Jinyiwei for his merits and is in charge of all the affairs of the Jinyiwei, thus learning about many things that Wei Zhongxian has formed a clique for personal gain and harmed the world. In order not to deceive the emperor by such villains, in order to prevent the people of our Ming Dynasty from being persecuted by those traitors, he put on this bulletin regardless of his own safety!" Zhu Youjian said without any retreat or hesitation.

At this time, both the unleashed royal families and the eunuchs around the emperor had their faces pale and looked at Zhu Youjian like a ghost. They had a vague feeling that a storm was about to start again.

Wang Tiqian, who was with the emperor, looked shocked and at the same time, was a little lucky. Fortunately, he was with the emperor today, otherwise, if the matter was broken, Eunuch Wei might not know what was going on. However, he did not dare to speak at this time. Although eunuchs' interference in politics is the mainstream of the current situation, he did not have the courage to say that a prince is not in front of the emperor.

After being stunned for a long time, Tianqi thought of something: "This impeacher has always been the responsibility of the censor. Why did he, a Jinyi Tongzhi, do this in his hands? And he was still an eunuch?"
