    As usual, the ministers lined up for court, walked steadily and steadily towards Cining Palace.

    Qin Kan wore a royal python robe and walked low-key among the nobles. He followed the procession in silence and did not dare to talk or laugh with the princes and marquis beside him. The censor who was in charge of daily supervision of court discipline was watching with eager eyes.  As for the procession, whoever ignores the court etiquette and talks, laughs and whispers in the procession will definitely have his name written down by the censor, and there will be some interrogation at the court meeting in the future.

    From the Meridian Gate to the Cining Palace, you have to pass through the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Taisheji, Neiku, Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, Qianqing Palace and other palaces. Along the way, there are forbidden palace warriors and Jinyi guards in red flying fish uniforms on duty. The Emperor and Queen Mother are very happy.  In the days of , so many foreign ministers came into the palace, so security work was the top priority.

    After passing the huge domed hall of Taisheji, the square outside the hall was noisy. More than a thousand monks and Taoists sent by the Daolu Division gathered in the square, setting out their respective magical instruments and dojos, and murmuring something for the elders.  The Empress Dowager prayed for blessings and longevity, and more than a dozen small stages were set up in the square outside Fengtian Hall. On the stage were more than a dozen famous juggling troupes from the capital. The actors sang, chanted, and performed their best performances on the stage.  The unique skills he is good at, Buddhist chants, Sanskrit chants and melodious sounds come and go, making the palace very lively.

    The ministers walked slowly all the way to Cining Palace. The inside and outside of Cining Palace were covered with carpets. Empress Dowager Wang was wearing a bright red festive court dress, with a phoenix crown trembling slightly on her gray head. Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia were accompanying them on the left and right sides. Zhu Houzhao was also wearing a lucky dress.  Wearing a dragon robe to accompany her, the Queen Mother looked happy, but the young Queen Xia had a tight face, always paying attention to her Queen's appearance. Occasionally, the old Queen Mother turned her head to say a few words to her, and Queen Xia just  Showing a reserved smile.

    The two queen mothers were both experienced. Seeing that Queen Xia deliberately kept her appearance as a queen, even on such a festive day, she kept a straight face as if she was attending a funeral. The two queen mothers felt a little unhappy, but they did not express any blame.  So he left the queen aside in the cold, and the two queen mothers started talking with smiles. Zhu Houzhao chewed snacks in his mouth, and occasionally said a few nonsense words with a smile, which caused the two queen mothers to be annoyed and doted on each other.  Drowning eyes.

    The officials of the Ministry of Rites stood in the palace, singing and drinking loudly as the nobles and civil and military officials entered the palace to celebrate their birthdays. The nobles and ministers who had been waiting outside, headed by the British Duke Zhang Mao, entered the palace in order of rank.

    This time the Empress Dowager's birthday seems grand, but in fact the palace has cut a lot of expenses. After all, Zhu Houzhao is not too stupid. He is just a fun-loving young man, but as a monarch, he loves and protects his people.  The heart is still there.

    Two months before his birthday, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had reported to the court that it was the Empress Dowager's birthday. After discussions between the cabinet and the Ministry of Household, one million taels of silver were allocated for the birthday. Zhu Houzhao readily agreed at that time.  A few days ago, due to the beggar freezing to death, Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace and mentioned it to the two empress dowagers. The two empress dowagers were fasting and practicing Taoism. When they heard this, they immediately felt sorry for themselves, so they told Zhu Houzhao that there was no need to be extravagant with the birthday ceremony and save fifty yuan from the ceremony.  Ten thousand taels of silver were allocated to the capital and all prefectures and counties in the world, specifically to provide food and clothing to the homeless and beggars, to show the benevolence of the royal family.

    To be honest, it is not easy for the Zhu family royal family to achieve this step, but the ministers still seem to be dissatisfied.

    Qin Kan stood in the court class outside the palace, waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday. He glanced behind him inadvertently, and saw that the civil and military ministers behind the honorary class exchanged quick glances with each other.

    Qin Kan¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought that something was not right. Something might have happened to the Queen Mother who was congratulating her on her birthday today!

    While I was thinking about it, I heard officials from the Ministry of Rites roll their names loudly, announcing that the Marquis in Beijing had entered the palace to congratulate me.  Qin Kan didn't have time to think too much and led the marquis team into the palace. After the marquises entered the palace, they naturally congratulated each other. Qin Kan respectfully said "Longevity" and then stood aside consciously. Zhu Houzhao in the palace still had a smile on his face. Qin Kan wanted to  She gave him a wink to warn him, but unfortunately the two of them were too far apart. This wink was probably equivalent to flirting with a blind man.

    After the honorable class celebrated their birthdays one by one, the next ones were the officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital.

    Three bachelors of the cabinet led the way, followed by the Minister of Rites and Officials, and all the ministers entered the hall in batches to kowtow.

    Everything was fine in the front, until the unusual-looking General Affairs Secretary Zuo Tongzheng Huang Lu entered the back of the palace, and Qin Kan's heart finally became anxious.

    I saw Huang Lu first kneel down to the Queen Mother. After congratulating her on her birthday, Huang Lu did not get up. Instead, he took out a memorandum from his sleeve, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother has a great birthday. I should not have done that thing of burning the piano."  The evil deed of boiling cranes, however, the sage said: the people are the most important, the country is the second, the king is the least. For the sake of the poor people in the world who have no food and clothing, I have to risk my life in the longevity hall of the old queen.?Report!  "

    The whole hall was silent.

    The two queen mothers were stunned, and so was Zhu Houzhao, while the civil servants in the palace seemed to have been prepared, standing expressionlessly in the courtroom without saying a word.

    I don¡¯t know how long he was silent, but Zhu Houzhao¡¯s face gradually turned red, and murderous intent filled his eyes.

    Family affection is Zhu Houzhao's bottom line, and Huang Lu has obviously touched his bottom line today.

    "Huang Lu, you are so bold!" Zhu Houzhao stood up with a cold light in his eyes.

    Huang Lu seemed oblivious to the emperor's anger, and still bowed his head and said: "In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Zhengde, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital, and more than thirty beggars froze to death. Three days later, the figures reported by the supervisory censors from various places were even more shocking, including Baoding.  More than 40 refugees froze to death in Fucheng, more than 60 people froze to death in Jizhou Fucheng, and more than 30 people froze to death in Zhending Fucheng"

    Zhu Houzhao shouted angrily: "Shut up! Where are the warriors in front of the palace? Take off Huang Lu's official clothes, gauze hat, and Meridian staff"

    "Your Majesty!" Qin Kan hurriedly went out to intercept Zhu Houzhao's order.

    Zhu Houzhao looked at Qin Kan's clear eyes, his furious heart finally calmed down a little, and the word "kill with a stick" was finally not uttered.

    Today is the birthday of the old empress dowager, and it is unlucky to kill people. If this decree is really spoken, the hat of a tyrant will be worn. In the future, the ministers will probably have more constraints on Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao will be unable to move forward in his life.

    Zhu Houzhao was not stupid. He quickly understood Qin Kan's intention of interrupting him when he suddenly left work, so he glanced at Qin Kan gratefully.

    Looking at the expressionless ministers in the hall, Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing an auspicious dragon robe, felt sad. A deep feeling of powerlessness came over him. In silence, Zhu Houzhao burst into tears.

    "I have already issued an edict to offend myself, and also reduced the money used for the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony to help the refugees. You, what do you want from me? How many people in the palace can share my worries with the emperor's salary? How many people can share my worries?  Can you not force me?"
