The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

At this time, the Grand Secretaries who were preparing to enter the inner palace together looked at Lin Tailai and were all speechless.

Those who knew Lin Tailai better in the officialdom of the capital knew that Lin Tailai had a serious mental illness. For example, he was extremely insecure and always imagined that someone was going to harm him.

Specifically, except for the midsummer, he often wore leather armor inside all year round, as if this would make him feel at ease.

Even at such an important moment as the imperial examination, he had to wear a helmet and armor to enter the examination room.

But no one expected that Lin Tailai's mental illness could be so serious that he had to wear armor inside to meet the emperor in the inner palace!

We are in the Ming Dynasty, which is in a peaceful and prosperous era with good court security. It is not the Han and Tang dynasties where there are murderous intentions in the court!

To put it bluntly, if the emperor really has malicious intentions, what is the point of wearing armor?

Fortunately, this place is not under the jurisdiction of their Grand Secretaries, and it is Eunuch Chen who has to worry about it.

Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of leading people into the palace, rubbed his forehead and looked at the sun again.

After a little thought, Eunuch Chen said, "It's getting late. It's a waste of time to report this matter again.

Let's go to Qianqing Gate first, and keep a close watch on them. When we get to Yude Palace, we'll ask the emperor how to deal with them."

Bringing them to the gate of Yude Palace won't affect anything. Let the emperor make the decision!

So everyone passed Qianqing Gate, and then there was a small square. The north end of the small square was Qianqing Palace, and the east and west sides were alleys.

The tall and vast Qianqing Palace is nominally the emperor's bedroom, but the convenience and comfort may be a little bit worse. Many emperors don't like to live in Qianqing Palace.

Yude Palace is located to the west and north of Qianqing Palace, so Chen Ju led four university scholars and Lin Tailai to the west through the alleys.

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and dozens of eunuchs rushed out from the alleys on the east and west sides of Qianqing Palace. Some were unarmed, and some were holding wooden sticks, and they surrounded this side aggressively!

The university scholars standing in the small square felt like they were ambushed, and their faces were horrified!

Could there be a palace incident in the physical sense in our Ming Dynasty?

When they were still more than ten feet apart, an eunuch shouted: "Only find Lin Tailai, it has nothing to do with others!"

Lin Tailai quickly stood behind Chen Ju and asked: "Does Eunuch Chen care?"

Eunuch Chen shouted at the eunuchs who rushed over: "Stop!"

But the eunuchs did not obey Eunuch Chen's orders. Obviously, there must be someone else who ordered them, and this person's status is not lower than Eunuch Chen.

Lin Tailai sneered: "It seems that Eunuch Chen is not good enough either."

Although Eunuch Chen's personality is relatively indifferent, he was so angry that he chose the answer "If you can do it, you can do it" between "Men can't say no" and "If you can do it, you can do it."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Tailai striding forward.

I don't know how, I saw Lin Tailai grab the little eunuch who rushed to the front and directly swung the little eunuch as a heavy weapon.

After forcing the eunuchs to retreat, Lin Tailai took a few hits and grabbed a wooden stick.

Fortunately, Lin Tailai was wearing leather armor, so it was not a big problem to take these hits.

With the wooden stick in hand, Lin Tailai became more fierce and used it directly as a spear.

While retreating to the corner under the platform of the Qianqing Palace, he fought back casually.

With his back against the angle of the platform to avoid being attacked from the back and abdomen, and wearing armor, Lin Tailai was more at ease.

Facing the siege of dozens of people, he relied on his spear skills and the strength of his arms to fight back, and severely injured more than a dozen opponents in succession, and broke three wooden sticks!

Others witnessed Lin Tailai fighting for the first time in person, and their brains were almost confused to the point of crashing.

For a while, they thought that Lin Tailai was indeed brave and invincible, with the courage of Xiang Yu and Lu Bu.

For a while, they thought again, was it a coincidence that Lin Tailai entered the palace wearing armor or did he receive the wind in advance?

After a while, I thought again that this was outside the Qianqing Palace, and the consequences of a fight were unpredictable!

In short, such a thing had never been seen or heard of!

When the Grand Secretaries and Eunuch Chen were in a trance, Lin Tailai, who was outnumbered by dozens, began to gain the upper hand!

The eunuchs who had been unable to attack for a long time suddenly collapsed in morale, and the eunuchs who were pushed to the front row refused to move forward and ran away without looking back!

This triggered a chain reaction, and the eunuchs who could still walk left more than a dozen seriously injured people on the ground and scrambled to flee!

In a blink of an eye, the situation reversed, with twenty or thirty eunuchs running away in front, and Lin Tailai was chasing and beating them ferociously behind.

The ignorant eunuch Chen and the Grand Secretaries were stunned, feeling like the scene in the vernacular novel projected into reality.

Emperor Chengzu built this palace for 150 years, and no one had a group fight in front of the Qianqing Palace!

At most, they fought in front of Fengtian Gate, which is now Huangji Gate.

The defeated eunuchs fled to the alley on the west side of Qianqing Palace, and on the other side of the alley was Yangxin Palace.

I don’t know who led the way, but these defeated eunuchs rushed into the courtyard of Yangxin Palace.

The main function of Yangxin Palace in this era was to serve as the direct room of the eunuchs and to store some sundries commonly used by the emperor.

It may be because many eunuchs stayed here, and the defeated eunuchs subconsciously felt that they could get shelter in Yangxin Palace, so they fled in.

Lin Tailai, who had extremely rich experience in group fights, felt that it was more dangerous to rush into an unfamiliar courtyard rashly.

So he stood in the main gate of the Yangxin Palace courtyard, which was Yangxin Gate, and blocked the door and cursed.

This movement immediately alarmed the eunuchs and junior eunuchs on duty in Yangxin Palace, and they all came out to see.

Among them were many eunuchs wearing flying fish and bullfighting uniforms. They were all at a loss and had no idea what was going on.

I have never encountered such an incredible scene in my career. Could it be that under such a bright and clear world, bandits could still break into the inner palace?

Chen Ju and four bachelors also rushed over and saw Lin Tailai holding a stick, like a god coming down to earth to block the Yangxin Gate.

Eunuch Chen was afraid that Lin Tai would kill Hongyan, so he directly killed the senior eunuchs in Yangxin Palace and shouted from a distance: "Lin Jiuyuan, stop it!"

Then he observed carefully and made sure that Lin Tailai was conscious before walking close to Lin Tailai.

I saw that Lin Tailai's image was also in chaos, the official hat on his head had fallen into nowhere, and his bun was loose.

The official robe on his body had torn several large holes, exposing the leather armor underneath.

But this image is even more frightening.

Lin Tailai put away the stick and muttered: "The palace's ability to respond is really poor, no wonder the attack happened."

Through today's actual combat, Lin Tailai could conclude that if the attack was carried out by himself, the crown prince would at least be seriously injured.

Eunuch Chen was a little confused. What was the allusion to the attack case?

At this time, the eunuchs in the courtyard of Yangxin Hall also saw Chen Ju and asked loudly: "Mr. Chen! What is going on?"

Chen Ju finally showed off the momentum of the fourth-ranking official in the Supervisor of Ceremonies and shouted loudly:

??????????.??????

"Capture all the ministers who just escaped into the Yangxin Palace! They are not allowed to be released without the Emperor's will!"

Then he said to the academicians and Lin Tai: "There has been such a change in the palace. Please wait for those outside the palace to temporarily retreat outside the Qianqing Gate until I report this matter to the emperor!"

On behalf of the minister, Shen Shoufu nodded and said: "It should be so."

Lin Tailai interjected: "Dozens of internal prisoners ambushed the road and surrounded and assaulted the ministers who entered the palace under the imperial edict. This is really shocking! Please make the decision for your ministers, your Majesty!"

Chen Ju responded: "I will report to the emperor. You should withdraw from the Qianqing Sect first!"

As long as he saw Lin Tailai still in the inner palace, Eunuch Chen felt scared and had to let Lin Tailai out first before he could feel at ease.

Then the four bachelors and Lin Tailai retreated outside the Qianqing Gate. A group of forbidden soldiers stared closely at Lin Tailai.

These imperial guards can only guard outside the palace gate. Without special orders, they are also not allowed to enter the inner palace.

So when Lin Tailai was fighting with the inner guards just now, these forbidden soldiers were unable to stop him.

No one spoke, everyone was waiting silently.

Shen Shoufu thought, it would be better if this summons went wrong. He didn't think this interview would be a good thing.

While Lin Tailai was waiting, he was still silently reviewing various historical materials in his heart. This is called learning from history.

According to records, after Emperor Wanli died, there were only two records of summoning ministers to the palace for audience.

The first time was this time. Without Lin Tailai's butterfly effect, the four bachelors would have had a heart-to-heart talk with His Majesty in Yude Palace. Of course, the result was useless.

The second time was twenty-five years later, in the forty-third year of Wanli, that is, after the attack.

At that time, such a strange thing happened in the uterus of the Crown Prince, which aroused suspicion at home and abroad, and various speculations were directed at Concubine Zheng.

In order to appease people's hearts, Emperor Wanli summoned academicians Fang Congzhe, Wu Daonan and some ministers to Cining Palace.

This Wu Daonan was Lin Tailai's top pick on the same list, the honest man who helped Lin Tailai copy "Le Chao Xun Lu".

During that summons, Fang Congzhe was obedient and Wu Daonan was speechless, but a censor named Liu Guangfu spoke fiercely.

Then a large group of internal prisoners rushed up and beat Liu Guangfu. The situation got out of control for a time and Wu Daonan was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Later, someone commented that Wu Daonan and his group of bachelors were not even as good as Wan An, who was ridiculed as a paper-thin Sange Lao.

It is precisely because Lin Tai reviewed this historical material before coming that he is wearing armor under his official robe today.

After careful study, we will know who the inner prisoner relied on when he was summoned after the assault case to dare to gang up on the ministers in the palace.

To be honest, not even Wei Zhongxian could do something so unruly, tasteless, and like a shrew.

The mastermind is more favored now, how can he know that similar things will not happen to him?

Unexpectedly, I actually encountered him

But on the other side, after Chen Ju sent the foreign ministers out of the palace temporarily, he hurried to the Yude Palace where the emperor was at this time.

On the way, eunuch Chen met head-on eunuch Bingbi, eunuch Bingbi and admiral of Dongchang, Sun Xian.

"Just now I heard a vague noise and commotion in Yude Palace. What happened?" Sun Changgong asked directly.

Yude Palace is just to the north of Yangxin Palace. If there is loud noise from Qianqing Palace to Yangxin Palace, Yude Palace may hear it.

Chen Ju didn't know how to describe it accurately, so he said as he walked: "After the foreign ministers entered the Qianqing Gate just now, dozens of internal ministers suddenly besieged Lin Tailai, who was writing the Hanlin Academy.

Then he was defeated by Lin Tailai, and a dozen of them were seriously injured. The rest fled all the way into the Yangxin Hall. "

Mr. Sun Changgong was surprised, "Is there such a thing? Who instigated those dozens of ministers?"

Chen Ju sighed and said, "No need to make random guesses. Let's talk about it after meeting the emperor!"

Sun Changgong was very confused and said: "Isn't it forbidden for foreign ministers to bring servants and guards when entering the palace? How dare Lin Tailai break the ban?"

Chen Ju shook his head and sighed: "Without any servants to protect us, Lin Tailai is the only one participating in the battle."

Mr. Sun Changgong: ""

Dongchang is so desperate that it needs such talents!

After the two said these words, Yude Palace arrived.

At this time, Emperor Wanli was half-lying on the couch in the west room of Yude Palace, waiting for the ministers to appear. Several eunuchs and eunuchs were talking beside him.

After Chen Ju went in, he stated what had just happened truthfully, without any subjective color or any added jealousy.

Emperor Wanli was extremely shocked. In the eyes of the emperor, this matter was also unbelievable!

Dozens of eunuchs and ministers were fighting outside the Qianqing Palace, and the one who was on horseback lost the fight. What the hell is this?

After coming back to his senses, Emperor Wanli glanced at the eunuchs in the room and asked in an unclear tone: "Is it you?"

All the eunuchs looked at each other, but no one came forward to admit it.

Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, asked Chen Ju: "This is absolutely ridiculous. Why didn't you stop it?"

Chen Ju replied: "I tried to stop him at that time, but he didn't listen."

Although no names were mentioned in this question and answer, there were smart people in the room. After listening to this question and answer, they immediately guessed the truth.

Chen Ju is the fourth person in charge of the ceremonial department and one of the top eunuchs in the entire eunuch system. His status is equivalent to that of a bachelor of civil servants.

The gang of internal guards dared to completely ignore Chen Ju's orders, which speaks volumes.

There should be no more than four people with this kind of strength in the palace - the emperor himself, Concubine Zheng, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and Sun Siam, the factory official.

If we use the elimination method, the emperor, Zhang Cheng, and Sun Xian are not so boring, then who else can be the person who instructs dozens of internal eunuchs to gang up on the ministers?

The big eunuchs all stopped talking. They really couldn't control this matter, so long as they could distance themselves from it!

Emperor Wanli took a few breaths of air-conditioning and suddenly felt toothache again.

My little imperial concubine, it's enough to be a naughty little cute girl in front of me, but she actually went to act naughty in front of the bachelors.

Originally, I wanted to "lobby" the bachelors today, but you did this in front of the bachelors. How will the bachelors view you mother and son?

Seeing that Emperor Wanli was in a mental state and unable to extricate himself, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, asked Chen Ju: "Where is the foreign minister now?"

Chen Ju replied: "Temporarily retreat outside the Qianqing Gate and wait for the Holy Judgment."

Zhang Cheng's question meant that he wanted the emperor to make up his mind first. Will he see you today or not? Then talk about other things.

"Let's meet again." Emperor Wanli sighed and said.

Sun Xian quickly reminded: "The emperor said at the beginning that the factory guards need talents like Lin Tailai. This is an opportunity."

Chen Ju said with lingering fear: "I am worried that Lin Tailai will disturb the emperor. If the emperor wants to meet with foreign ministers, I suggest that the emperor go to Qianqing Gate and have a condescending conversation."

Everyone: ""
