Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 10 There Are Immortals In This World

the next morning.

Daming Forbidden City.

As soon as the sun rose in the early morning, there was an endless stream of people in the capital rushing towards the Golden Luan Hall of the Imperial Palace.

All of these people were dressed in court clothes and gauze-wing caps.

Civil and military dignitaries, princes and ministers, royal family members.

It can be said that Wang Chengen called all those who have a certain level of rank to go to the morning court.

All the eunuchs, big and small, of the palace were dispatched yesterday, and went to various houses to inform the news.

The eunuch who was waiting for the palace told them that tomorrow morning the Golden Luan Palace will be in court.

The officials are full of doubts.

What's going on here?
Don't you usually go to court?
Why did you ask the eunuch to come to the house to inform now?
It's really strange.

Everyone asked the eunuchs who came to announce the decree, but those eunuchs didn't know anything about it.

It just means to let them go to the Golden Luan Hall tomorrow morning.

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, these officials sent servants from the house to inquire about the situation.

Then everyone was shocked to find out.

Not only these civil and military ministers will go to court tomorrow.

Even the ninth-rank officials in the capital were required to go to court.

When they heard the news, these civil and military ministers were taken aback.

You must know that the Jinluan Palace is the most important place for Ming Dynasty to discuss politics.

Generally, only civil and military ministers of third rank or above are qualified to go to the Jinluan Palace to discuss affairs with the emperor.

Those ninth-grade petty officials, let alone enter the Jinluan Palace.

Even the gate of the palace is not eligible to enter.

But now, the emperor actually asked these petty officials to go to court.

That's why these civil and military ministers feel incredible.

They all realized that something important must have happened this morning.

A middle-aged Confucian official walking in front of the crowd had a serious expression, and he had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

He turned to look at his colleagues beside him.

"My lord, you said that His Majesty invited so many of us to court, even the ninth-rank officials, is there something important to announce?"

When Wang Shangshu heard this, his brows were deeply furrowed.

After a while, he shook his head.

"I don't know exactly what happened."

"However, according to my speculation, it may have something to do with the intruders outside the city."

Seeing that Wang Shangshu seemed to know some inside information, the middle-aged Confucian official hurriedly urged:
"Master Wang, is there something inside this?"

Wang Shangshu nodded.

"According to the information I got, I heard that Li Zicheng has sent people into the palace, saying that he wants to negotiate with His Majesty. If the negotiation is settled, the intruders will retreat."

"negotiation?"

When some officials nearby heard the news, they quickly gathered around Wang Shangshu.

"Master Wang, what negotiation?"

"That's right, Master Shang Shu, tell us quickly."

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Wang Shangshu didn't hold back.

"The intruder wants His Majesty to grant an order to recognize his name as King Dashun, and to cede the northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong areas to him. As long as His Majesty agrees to these conditions, Li Zicheng will withdraw his troops."

"So, from my point of view, His Majesty's meeting with so many people today may be to discuss this matter."

Most of the other officials nodded when they heard the words, thinking that what Wang Shangshu said was reasonable.

Only when it was such an important matter related to the safety of Ming Dynasty, the emperor would call so many officials to discuss countermeasures.

"But in fact, it's not."

Suddenly a voice came from behind these officials.

Everyone turned their heads and looked back, and found that the person who came was Mr. Li Yizhi, Minister of Rites.

Li Yizhi is fifty-nine this year, with gray hair.

Although he is old, Mr. Li is still relatively strong.

Everyone greeted Li Yizhi one after another.

"Master Li said just now that this is not the case. Could it be that Master Li knows the inside story?"

"Yes! If Master Shangshu knows, please let everyone know, so that everyone can be prepared."

Li Yizhi stroked his gray beard with his hands, looked at his colleagues around him, and said mysteriously:
"Only a small number of people know about this matter. I learned about it from Mr. Liu Tong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Everyone saw Li Shangshu's mysterious face, so everyone became more curious.

What is it that makes His Majesty so fanciful.

"Master Li, what is the matter?"

"That's right, Master Li, tell us quickly?"

"That's right, that's right, it's going to kill us."

Li Yizhi saw that everyone's interest was almost aroused, so he said unhurriedly:
"Your Majesty held such a grand court meeting today because of the relationship between the immortals."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's exclamation sounded one after another.

"Fairy?"

"impossible?"

"Master Li, is he joking with us?"

"Master Wang is right. How can there be any immortal in this world? Your Majesty won't be deceived by traitors at this juncture, right?"

Everyone showed expressions of disbelief.

If these words had not been spoken by Li Yizhi and Li Shangshu himself, they would have angrily denounced the nonsense.

They study the sage scriptures from an early age.

The sage speaks, but the child does not speak strange powers and chaos.

They are convinced of it.

Only ignorant people would believe that there are ghosts, gods and demons in this world.

And whenever they hear ignorant people talking about ghosts and gods, they will show contempt for the people.

After all, it is the ignorant villagers who believe in ghosts and gods without accepting the teachings of the saints.

Li Yizhi also expressed his understanding when he saw that everyone didn't believe it.

When he heard the news yesterday, he was like them now.

I don't believe it at all.

If he hadn't confirmed this matter again and again, he wouldn't have believed in the fairy tale.

Li Yizhi turned his head, looked around, and found that other officials did not notice them.

Li Yizhi said in a low voice:
"It's absolutely true. Your Majesty has indeed found the immortal. Mr. Liu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was blinded by the immortal's magic weapon because he offended the immortal. Now Mr. Liu is still recuperating in the mansion!"

Li Yizhi explained to everyone in a low voice, for fear that the immortals would overhear their conversation.

Seeing everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, half-believing.

Li Yizhi went on to say:

"I asked the eunuch in the palace. At that time, the immortal sent a strange big bird to communicate with His Majesty, and then His Majesty went to welcome the immortal back to the palace."

"This kind of clairvoyance and wind ear can only be achieved by the legendary fairy."

"Moreover, more than one person has seen this matter. Now it is estimated that this matter has spread in the palace."

Seeing Li Yizhi and Li Shangshu's convincing look, everyone couldn't help but not believe it.

With Li Shangshu's personality, he would never entertain them like this.

Even if everyone is willing to believe what Li Shangshu said.

But for a while, everyone still couldn't accept the fact that there are immortals in this world.

Everyone is like this, you look at me, I look at you, and don't know what to say for a while.

Seeing everyone's dubious look, Li Yizhi smiled indifferently.

"Let's go, let's go to the Jinluan Palace to attend court. As for whether it's a matter of immortals, I believe your majesty will give us an answer."

After Li Yizhi finished speaking, he ignored everyone who was still in doubt.

He walked away without looking back.
