On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the court resumed its court.

This is the first court meeting of the new year.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, but the civil and military officials were already waiting at the gate of the palace.

At the beginning of Maoshi, the palace gate opened on time, and the ministers entered the palace one after another.

The ministers were all smiling, talking and laughing as they walked towards Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Gaochi, walked towards him, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother."

Zhu Gaochi shouted cheerfully: "Third brother."

After working hard to lose weight during this period, Zhu Gaochi became much thinner than before.It is no exaggeration to say that he has lost a lot of weight.However, even though he has lost a lot of weight, he is still very fat, at least he is still the fattest among civil and military officials.

"Brother, it's up to you to take care of me in the new year."

"Third brother, we are with each other."

The two brothers exchanged a few pleasantries, and then took the lead into Fengtian Hall.

The civil and military officials stood up according to the size of their official positions.

"The Emperor is here!"

All the civil and military officials knelt down one after another, and saluted Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your servants, please see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Zhu Di said in a dignified tone, "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Dear dears, how is the Chinese New Year this year? Is there any good or happy event happening at home?"

Zhu Di didn't talk about political affairs, but chatted with the ministers amicably.

Zhang Yu and the others took the lead in talking, and then the officials also started talking.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Zhu Di was very generous and rewarded many civil and military officials.Among other things, reward them with doubling their salaries so that they can spend a good year with money.

For this matter, the ministers are very grateful.

After chatting with civil and military officials for a while, Zhu Di finally got down to business.

Let me first summarize some things from last year.There are good and bad things about these things.

Then he talked about some plans for this year and the requirements for ministers.Of course, he didn't forget to mention the assessment system that Zhu Zhanji mentioned before.

Yang Shiqi and the others all agreed with Zhu Di's assessment system.Zhu Di asked Yang Rong and the others to improve the assessment system.

After Zhu Di said these things, he asked the ministers to play.

Civil and military officials also have a lot to say, after all, they haven't gone to court for more than [-] days.

Today is the first day of the new year's court, so naturally there are many things to talk about.No, the morning court was not over until Chenshi.

Zhu Zhanji didn't wake up until Chenshi, and the first thing he did after waking up was to ask, "Did the emperor and the others go down?"

"If you go back to His Highness, His Majesty hasn't come down yet."

"Haven't come down yet?" Zhu Zhanji looked at the hourglass placed on the table not far away.

"Your Highness, today is the first grand court meeting of the new year, and there will definitely be many things to discuss." Chen Wu said while rolling up the tent, "I'm afraid it won't be over until noon."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his expression became very excited.

"Quick, wait for me to wash and change clothes." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"Your Highness, what are you in such a hurry for?"

"I'm going to Fengtian Hall." Zhu Zhanji urged Chen Wu and Wang Zhongdao, "Hurry up and change my clothes."

"Your Highness, what are you going to Fengtian Palace for?"

"Go and see the excitement." Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled very maliciously, "Today is a good show. If you go down, you won't be able to see it."

"Hot?" Chen Wu and Wang Zhong were puzzled, "Your Highness, what's the buzz?"

"My third uncle's excitement." Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing when he thought of his third uncle's wonderful expression when he learned that he was going to be in charge of Jinyiwei. "Hahahahaha, I'm looking forward to my third uncle's expression."

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong didn't understand what Zhu Zhanji was laughing at, but seeing their little Highness smiling so happily, they guessed that it should be something that would make His Highness Zhao feel embarrassed.

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, and rushed to greet Empress Xu in a hurry.

"I've seen the emperor's grandmother." After the ceremony, Zhu Zhanji said again, "Emperor's grandmother, I won't tell you anymore. I'll go to the dining hall to have breakfast first. After breakfast, I'll go out to play." After finishing speaking , he ran away in a hurry.

Seeing the back of her precious grandson leaving in a hurry, Empress Xu asked Bai Hua who was beside her with doubts on her face: "Why is this child in such a hurry?"

Bai Hua didn't know either, so she guessed, "Your Highness probably wants to go out to play earlier."

In the dining hall, Chen Wu, Wang Zhong and the others saw Zhu Zhanji rushing to eat breakfast.

"Your Highness, eat slowly and be careful of choking." Chen Wu was worried that Zhu Zhanji would choke if he ate too fast, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Rice... things..." Zhu Zhanji stopped eating after eating a bowl of Yuanxiao, left the bowl and chopsticks and ran out, "Let's go to Fengtian Temple."

"Your Highness, you only ate a bowl of Yuanxiao..." Chen Wu hurriedly chased after her, "Your Highness, you have eaten too little, you need to eat more."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand while running: "I won't eat."

"Your Highness..."

As soon as Bai Hua walked to the entrance of the dining room, she saw the scene of Chen Wu and Wang Zhong chasing Zhu Zhanji.

"What's going on here?"

Zhu Zhanji ran all the way to the gate of Fengtian Hall.Because he was running so fast, he was panting very badly.

Li Qian, who was guarding the gate of Fengtian Hall, saw Zhu Zhanji coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "I have seen Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji waved to him, signaling him to get up.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Qian said respectfully, "Your Highness, are you here to find the Emperor?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded his little head, panting and asked: "Grandpa Huang hasn't come down yet?"

"No."

"Did anything important happen in the court?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "It seems not."

"That's good." After speaking, Zhu Zhanji walked to the gate of Fengtian Hall.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji lying at the door, poking his head out and looking into Fengtian Hall secretly, Li Qian was puzzled, what is His Highness doing, peeking at the court?

Zhu Zhanji pulled the gate of Fengtian Temple with both hands, and sneaked out half of his head to peek inside.

"Your Highness, you can't stay here." Fengtian Hall is a palace for discussing affairs. Normally, ministers can only get close to it when they go to court, and other people can't come here casually.

Zhu Zhanji withdrew his head, turned to look at Li Qian puzzledly: "Why?"

"Your Highness, this is the rule." Li Qian persuaded in a low voice, "Your Highness, if you have something to ask the emperor, why don't you go to Qianqing Palace and wait for the emperor."

"I didn't come to find Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and pointed to the stairs not far in front, "I'll just sit there and wait for the next court."

"Ah? Waiting for the court?" Li Qian was confused, not understanding what Zhu Zhanji was doing.

Zhu Zhanji didn't tell Li Qianduo, and sat down on the stairs not far in front, just in time to bask in the sun.

"Your Highness, what are you doing sitting here?" Chen Wu and Wang Zhong finally caught up with Zhu Zhanji.

"Wait for the next court." Zhu Zhanji looked back at Fengtian Temple, and said eagerly, "Actually, I want to go in and have a look."

"Your Highness, you are still young and cannot enter the Fengtian Palace." Chen Wu comforted, "When you grow up, you will definitely be able to enter the Fengtian Palace."

"I'm not here to go to court. Why should I go to court at such a young age." Zhu Zhanji smirked twice, "I just want to see my third uncle's wonderful expression."

"Your Highness, what happened to His Royal Highness King Zhao?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled mysteriously: "Soon, you will know."

"Your Highness, do you want to wait here?"

"I can only wait here."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be courting for a while, do you really want to wait here?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Well, you two stand aside for a while, don't block my sun."

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong obediently stood aside.

Zhu Di in Fengtian Hall had noticed Zhu Zhanji a long time ago, seeing that he first peeked at the door, and then ran to the door and sat down on the steps, he couldn't help but feel strange.

What is Zhanji doing with his sneaky look?

Does the kid have anything important to report?

Zhu Zhanji couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, so he walked up and down the square at the entrance of Fengtian Temple.

Seeing this, Zhu Di became even more puzzled.

Zanji, what's the matter?

Zhu Zhanji was idle and bored, so he jumped up on the square at the entrance of Fengtian Temple.He raised his left leg for a while, and jumped up and down with his right foot on one leg.After a while, he raised his right leg and jumped up and down with his left foot on one leg.

After bouncing back and forth with his left and right feet, Zhu Zhanji started to play standing long jump again.Although he is young, he is very good at jumping.

After playing standing long jump for a while, Zhu Zhanji played frog jump again.

Li Qian and the others saw His Royal Highness jumping up and down the square like a little frog, and they thought it was really cute.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Di was amused and puzzled, what is this kid Zhanji doing?

The ministers found that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair had a smile on his mouth, and seemed to be in a good mood.

what's going on?

What Mr. Li said just now is not worthy of joy, why did the emperor laugh?

Zhu Zhanji raised two fingers of both hands on top of his head, and then started bouncing up and down again.

Seeing His Highness Huangsun bouncing around like a little rabbit again, Li Qian and the others said in their hearts how cute it is.

Zhu Di propped his face with his right hand, leaned his elbows on the armrest of the Dragon Chair, and watched with interest like a little rabbit hopping around in the square at the entrance of Fengtian Temple.

This kid Zhanji jumps like a frog for a while, and like a rabbit for a while, what is he doing?

Acting cute?

What is this kid doing at the gate of Fengtian Temple early in the morning to act cute?

Zhu Di learned the word "cute" from Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was tired after learning how to hop a rabbit for a while, and then lay down on the ground.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, wondering how the child could lie on the ground.

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong hurried over and picked Zhu Zhanji up from the ground.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Zhu Zhanji raised his eyes and looked into Fengtian Hall, just in time to meet Zhu Di's gaze.He was slightly taken aback, and then gave Zhu Di a bright smile.

Seeing the smile on his precious grandson's face, Zhu Di didn't feel a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Zhanji silently opened his mouth and said to Zhu Di sitting on the dragon chair: "Grandfather, when will you come down?"

Zhu Di: What is Zhanji talking about?

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth and said silently again: "Grandpa Huang, when will you come down?"

This time, he deliberately slowed down and spoke silently word by word.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanji's small mouth for a long time and finally understood.

Seeing Zhu Di beckoning to him, Ma Sanbao took a step forward.

Zhu Di lowered his voice and said a few words to Ma Sanbao.After hearing this, Ma Sanbao withdrew from Fengtian Temple.

When the ministers saw Ma Sanbao leaving suddenly, they couldn't help wondering: What did the emperor ask Ma Sanbao to do?

Ma Sanbao retreated from the side door of Fengtian Temple and came to the square of Fengtian Temple to look for Zhu Zhanji.

"I have seen Your Highness."

"Get up." Zhu Zhanji asked, tilting his head, "Does Grandpa Huang have anything to say?"

"The emperor asked his servants to tell you that he will not come down in a while, so you should go to Qianqing Palace to wait."

"How long is a while?"

"Ministers have a lot of things to report this morning." Ma Sanbao guessed and said, "I guess it will take an hour."

"Ah, it's still an hour?" Zhu Zhanji was shocked, "Are there so many things to say?"

"Yes, you'd better go to Qianqing Palace and wait."

Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and said, "I just want to see how surprised my third uncle is, why is it so difficult?"

Ma Sanbao asked in surprise, "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang?"

"Eunuch Ma, did Grandpa Huang announce that Uncle San will be in charge of Jinyiwei?"

"not yet."

"Eunuch Ma, when Grandpa Huang announces that Uncle San will be in charge of Jinyiwei, you can help me stare at Uncle San's expression carefully, and then describe it to me in detail."

Hearing this, Ma Sanbao instantly understood what Zhu Zhanji was planning, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant must keep a good eye on His Highness Zhao Wang."

"Eunuch Ma, please ask Grandpa Huang if I can enter Fengtian Hall, I want to see the expression of third uncle in person." He came to Fengtian Hall in a hurry, in order to witness the wonderful expression of third uncle with his own eyes.

"My servant will help you to ask." After finishing speaking, Ma Sanbao returned to Fengtian Hall.

"Your Majesty..." Ma Sanbao whispered to Zhu Di what Zhu Zhanji said just now.

After Zhu Di heard it, he was quite dumbfounded.

He thought that Zhanji was looking for him for something urgent, but he didn't expect it to be to see his third uncle's wonderful expression. It was really... very bad.

"Let him go back to Qianqing Palace and wait."

Although Zhu Di dotes on Zhu Zhanji, he will not condone his nonsense, especially in Fengtian Hall.

"Tell him, next step, his third uncle will go to Qianqing Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ma Sanbao withdrew from Fengtian Hall again.

"Your Highness, the emperor asked the servants to tell you that His Royal Highness King Zhao will go to the Qianqing Palace and ask you to wait there."

Zhu Zhanji immediately understood what his grandpa meant, and said happily, "I'll go to the Qianqing Palace and wait now." After speaking, he took Chen Wu and the others to the Qianqing Palace.

Ma Sanbao asked Li Qian to serve Zhu Zhanji in Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Zhanji sat on the couch in the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace, eating snacks, while waiting for Zhu Di and the others to come down.

In Fengtian Temple, the morning court continued until noon.

At the end of the early dynasty, Zhu Di announced the restoration of Jinyiwei and the establishment of Beizhen Fusi.

Beizhen Fusi has a special Zhao Prison, where Jin Yiwei can arrest, interrogate, execute, and execute on his own without review by other departments. —— Du Niang.

When Ma Sanbao read out the imperial decree to restore Jinyiwei, the whole court was in an uproar.

The civil and military officials all showed expressions of disbelief, they couldn't believe that the emperor wanted to restore Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui, and said expressionlessly, "King Zhao, you are in charge of Jinyiwei."

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a while, and he came back to his senses after a long while, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor let him take charge of Jinyiwei?

Zhu Zhu Gaosui's heart was beating very hard.

Jin Yiwei... Beizhen Fusi...

When it comes to Jinyiwei, Zhu Gaosui's first thought is that Jinyiwei can monitor officials and collect intelligence.This is exactly what he needs.

Thinking that after he took charge of Jinyiwei, he would be able to control the news of civil and military officials, and even every move of the East Palace.Also, he used Jin Yiwei to deal with the East Palace and support himself in the position.

The more Zhu Gaosui thought about it, the more excited he became, he almost couldn't control his expression.

Just when Zhu Gaosui was proud, civil servants came out to oppose the restoration of Jinyiwei.

The civil servants headed by Yang Shiqi and others cited various evil deeds committed by Jin Yiwei when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive.

The generals also opposed the restoration of Jinyiwei.Of course, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng did not object.

Although many ministers in the court did not experience what happened back then, everyone in the world knows what Jin Yiwei did back then.It is no exaggeration to say that the mention of Jinyiwei will make people frightened.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that once the Jinyiwei was restored, their good days would be gone, and they would live in fear all day long.

It is rare that civil servants and generals have the same opinion and unanimously oppose the restoration of Jinyiwei.

When Zhu Gaosui, who was originally complacent, heard the ministers talking about Jin Yiwei's various evil deeds, he remembered that Jin Yiwei is a notorious existence in the eyes of everyone.Once he takes charge of Jinyiwei, his reputation will also be affected.

Zhu Gaochi naturally also opposed the restoration of Jinyiwei, and persuaded Zhu Di to withdraw his order.

Zhu Di did not speak.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground and begged Zhu Di to take back his order to restore Jinyiwei.

Zhu Di had long expected that the restoration of Jinyiwei would be opposed, but he did not withdraw his order because of the collective opposition of the ministers.He directly asked Ma Sanbao to announce his withdrawal from the court.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

When the ministers saw Zhu Di leaving, they hurriedly shouted, but Zhu Di did not stop.

"His Royal Highness, Jin Yiwei cannot be restored, and the tragedy of that year cannot be allowed to happen again."

"His Royal Highness, Jin Yiwei framed Zhongliang by any means. Once restored, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court, and it must not be restored."

"His Royal Highness, once Jin Yiwei recovers, the government and the public will be in danger."

"His Royal Highness, we must never let what happened during Tai | Zu's reign happen again."

"His Royal Highness, you must persuade the emperor to take back the order..."

Zhu Gaochi was surrounded by the ministers, "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely persuade my father."

"His Royal Highness, I will accompany you to see the emperor."

"His Royal Highness, I will also accompany you..."

Zhu Gaochi called Yang Shiqi and the others to go with him to Qianqing Palace to meet Zhu Di.For the remaining ministers, Zhu Gaochi asked them to go back to work first.

"Brother, I'll go with you." Zhu Gaosui just thought for a while, and felt that he couldn't be in charge of Jinyiwei, otherwise he would become a target of public criticism.

"Third brother, what are you?"

"Brother, I will go with you to persuade the emperor to take back the order to restore Jinyiwei." Although he can get a lot of information and do many things in charge of Jinyiwei, he will become the "enemy" of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He will even be regarded as a "scourge" by the people, which is too bad for him.

After Zhu Gaosui made some calculations, he believed that he had more disadvantages than advantages in being in charge of Jinyiwei.
