Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

From the rustling sounds behind me, I knew that all officials above the fifth rank had come to this court meeting.

Not only those of the fifth rank, but also those of the sixth, seventh and eighth ranks came.

However, they are not qualified to stand in the brightly lit Fengtian Hall, so they have to stand in the square outside the hall.

These people are the most pitiful.

What the emperor looks like, I can’t see;

What was discussed at the meeting, I don’t know;

There is no chance to date a big boss!

I'm really just here to stand as a punishment.

The key is that you still have to get up early in the morning after dark and dare not overstep the line at all.

The boss might pretend not to see it if he was too far away from the Ministry of Rites, or even have to move closer to put on a smile.

But faced with this bunch of sixth, seventh and eighth-rank brats, the Inspector of the Ministry of Rites immediately became nervous.

If you dare to whisper or scratch each other, you will be in trouble if the other party remembers it.

The main theme is that he bullies the weak and fears the strong, and he does it blatantly.

But, who dares not come?

If you really don't know the rules and dare not come, it will be even more fun when we find out.

So, they would rather stand outside and freeze to death than not stand there obediently.

The key is to keep a straight face, stand upright and not move.

As for whether he would look at the brightly lit hall and grit his teeth and say that he would take over, no one knows.

Soon, as the time came, Song Li came out first, stood beside the imperial throne and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty has arrived, all officials welcome you!"

Following this shout, all officials, including Mr. Hu, bowed and saluted in an orderly manner.

As for kneeling, there wasn't any.

The kneeling ceremony had to be performed several times a day, and that was during the Qing Dynasty.

At that time in the Ming Dynasty, people still paid attention to bowing and saluting.

"Your Majesty, I have met you. Long live Your Majesty."

"Be flat!"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps and a plain command, Master Hu finally straightened his back.

Then he saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting high at the top, and Zhu Biao standing on the imperial throne opposite him.

This is also what it should be.

Otherwise, according to the rules, Zhu Biao should stand in front of Master Hu.

Everyone knew what happened today, so Zhu Biao's position was changed and he stood on the imperial throne.

Doesn’t this mean that we are only one step away from the throne?

Logically speaking, at this time, Song Li should stand up and shout "All officials should report if they have any issues."

But today is different!

Everyone knows that the biggest thing today is the abdication.

You must stand up and say something today, unless you really have something urgent to do.

Otherwise, if I were to take advantage of this conspicuous bag, I would probably never have the chance to enter the Fengtian Hall again in this lifetime.

Everyone present is smart, so there is no one who is blind.

Everyone was waiting obediently for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak.

But Master Hu did not expect that in such an occasion and in such a serious place, Zhu Yuanzhang would actually start to play tricks.

"Weiyong!"

"Chen is here!"

Master Hu was startled, but the situation did not allow him to think too much, so he could only respond while standing in the hall with a tablet in his hand.

There are also some particular requirements for this tablet.

The Book of Rites, Jade Ornaments, states that anyone who points a finger before the emperor should use a hu tablet;

When you receive an order from the king, it will be written on the tablet!

To put it simply, this thing is a multi-functional notepad.

Moreover, this thing is hung around the waist and covered with a cloth cover, which is equivalent to a civil servant's sword.

At the same time, there are a lot of rules for this thing.

The width in the middle is three inches, and the length of the tablet is two feet and six inches!

Many civil officials who were in good health but had bad tempers often used things as weapons when fighting in the court.

After all, this thing is very easy to use to draw people.

As for the material, haha, those who are above the fifth rank can hold an ivory tablet, while those who are below the fifth rank are not qualified to hold a tablet!

Of course, there were also people who came from poor families or who just wanted to pretend to be elegant and held bamboo tablets.

But for Master Hu, it is naturally ivory, and it has to be an antique ivory tablet.

This has been passed down from the Tang Dynasty.

Very particular!

Holding the tablet in both hands, Master Hu stood in the hall with his eyes slightly closed and his body upright.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Although it was a bit unexpected to call him out suddenly, he didn't care!

how?

The news of your abdication has already been spread, and many people have already talked to them individually. You, Zhu Yuanzhang, can't just sit there and not abdicate, right?

If you really have the courage, I'd admire you. What's wrong with accompanying you?

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the courage. He looked at Master Hu standing in the hall and said softly.

"Weiyong, it's been a while since I've seen you standing in this neat row in the hall. I'm actually a little uncomfortable with it!"

"If you count, we have known each other for nearly thirty years, right?"

Master Hu raised his tablet and saluted: "Your Majesty, I met Your Majesty in the 15th year of Zhizheng, and I have been following Your Majesty all the way since then. It has been exactly 30 years now!"

"The fifteenth year of Zhizheng?"

"Oh, I haven't heard this reign title for a long time. I almost forgot it all of a sudden!"

"Yes, we have been together for thirty years, it's time for us to go!"

"If we don't leave now, everyone will despise us!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Biao immediately bowed and shouted: "I dare not!"

He had to shout this.

What if I don’t shout?

Others may have the intention to despise Zhu, but if he has this intention, then it is called disobedience and the intention to usurp the throne.

Mr. Hu nodded calmly.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, I cannot guarantee whether others despise you or not, but Your Majesty has been in power for more than 30 years since he started his army in Fengyang."

"After all these years of hard work and ups and downs, it's time to take a break!"

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

"Since Your Majesty has been personally training the Crown Prince for so many years, it is time to let go."

"Helping him onto the horse and sending him off is the best way to ensure a smooth transfer of power for the Ming Dynasty!"

hiss……

Many officials who usually had little contact with Master Hu gasped in shock.

Damn, Master Hu is Master Hu, he is so bold to say that.

The key point is, in this kind of situation, you speak frankly about abdication. Aren't you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting high up in the table, didn't think so.

On the contrary, he felt that Mr. Hu was reliable and honest.

"Weiyong, it has to be you!"

"Others only care about whether we kill officials, allocate money, and when we die, but you are the only one who cares about whether we are tired!"

"Just for your concern and the friendship between us old brothers for so many years, this decree we prepared for you is worth it!"

"Hu Weiyong, accept the order!"
