Chapter 47 Panic
Things happened inside and outside the imperial city that Zhao Xu didn't understand.
After finishing dinner at Kangning Hall, Zhao Xu chatted with Concubine Zhu for a long time before returning to Funing Hall.
Along the way, the palace was covered with big red lanterns, and the palace was covered with joy. People came and went, and from time to time said, "Congratulations to the official family."
Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, and occasionally asked, "Easy and friendly."
When he returned to Funing Hall, Zhao Xu washed up and went to bed. After all, he would have to invite the magistrate Lu Dafang tomorrow.
This person is not Han Zhongyan. Not only can he be disturbed by the move, but he is also a mature person. When he faces him, he has to be very energetic.
Zhao Xu lay on the bed, his eyes closed, and was still thinking about many countermeasures.
The next morning, Zhao Xu was reading a book in the study room, waiting until noon was approaching, and then called Chenpi and said, "You go and notify."
Tangerine was still a little worried, but she didn't talk much.
He sent someone to the imperial kitchen to inform the menu he had ordered yesterday, and then went to the Zhengshi Hall in person.
Many people from the Political Affairs Hall were shocked when they saw Chenpi coming. After all, this person came last time, he sent away a Privy Councillor's husband.
Qin Bing quickly came out from inside, raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Eunuch Chen is here, I wonder what's important?"
Chen Pi looked at Qin Bing's false smile and said lightly: "Come here to summon Grandpa Lu according to the order."
Qin Bing's eyes changed and his breathing stopped, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.
There were sounds all around, as if they had bumped, and there were sounds of falling and breaking things.
Many people poked their heads out and looked at Chenpi, their faces turned pale and their hearts were scared.
The officials summoned the ministers? What are they going to do? Are the officials going to take action against the ministers?
Qin Bing frowned, feeling both panicked and angry, staring at Chenpi and said almost bluntly: "What is the official Xuanzhaozhaozhi doing?"
Seeing Qin Bing's anger as if he was about to punch him, Chen Pi felt a little nervous and said, "I want to see Mr. Lu."
Qin Bing snorted coldly and said, "How come the priest you can see him at any time..."
"I'm here."
Before he finished speaking, a hoarse, calm, and peaceful old voice sounded behind him.
Qin Bing turned his head suddenly and walked over quickly. He couldn't retreat and said vigilantly: "My husband, this..."
There was no expression on Lu Dafang's face, and he looked at Chen Pi directly and said, "What's the matter with the official summoning me?"
Chen Pi didn't dare to show off her qualifications in front of Lu Dafang. She took a step forward and said respectfully: "Grandpa Lu, the official family asked you to go to Chuigong Hall to have a meal with him."
Qin Bing was even more shocked and said anxiously: "My husband, you can't go!"
Han Zhongyan’s past is not far away, how can the priest go? If there is another 'incontinence', Han Zhongyan can resign, but the priest is afraid that he will have to be killed on the spot.
Lu Dafang was silent for a while and said, "Now?"
Tangerine said: "Yes, lunch."
Lu Dafang looked at the sky and said, "Let's go."
Qin Bing was anxious and said, "My husband, you can't go!"
As Zhao Xu sent Han Zhongyan away with "incontinence", in the eyes of the people of Zhengshitang, he was already a beast, how could he dare to get in touch with it easily?
Lu Dafang said nothing, walked straight out of the Political Affairs Hall and walked towards the Chuigong Hall not far north.
Qin Bing saw Lu Dafang go like this, feeling worried and extremely panicked.
After thinking about it, Qin Bing caught a man and whispered: "Go to Cining Palace to inform the Empress Dowager. Also, please ask the two Su Gong to enter the palace immediately!"
Someone immediately responded and left quickly.
Qin Bing thought about it and then quickly caught up with Lu Dafang and said, "Prime Minister, I will accompany you."
Lu Dafang seemed to have not heard it, and his steps slowly towards the Chugong Hall not far away.
Lu Dafang was invited by Zhao Xu and the news of lunch was like wings flying inside and outside the palace.
Cining Hall.
Zhou He hurried into the side hall where Empress Dowager Gao's office and said anxiously: "Empress, it's not good. The official family invites Mr. Lu to have a meal together in the Chuigong Hall."
Empress Dowager Gao was lowering her head to review the memorial. She suddenly looked up and shouted, "What did you say?"
Zhou He said anxiously: "Justice Lu is probably already in Chuigong Hall."
Empress Dowager Gao put down her pen with a slump in her face.
Zhou He knew that the matter was important, so he lowered his head and held his rapid breathing, and did not dare to say more.
If the government really treats Mr. Lu like Mr. Han, then the government and the people would probably explode, which would be a huge disaster!
Rubing on the side of Empress Gao, her eyes flashed with chills, and something in her heart that she had never thought about and did not want to think about before.
In just a moment, Empress Dowager Gao said in a cold voice: "Don't move, wait!"
Zhou He has been following Empress Dowager Gao for more than ten years and knows her very well. He listens to her words, looks at her expression, eyes wide open, and his heart falls into an ice cave.
Is it really going to be that step?
...
At the same time, Su Song, who temporarily served as the Privy Councilor, rushed into the palace from outside the palace like a burning fire.
Su Song was in his seventies, and he rushed to the scene at this moment, wiping the sweat on his head from time to time, not knowing whether he was tired or afraid.
Su Che frowned tightly and was also panting, as if it was caused by rushing to go.
They all knew Lu Dafang's position in the court. He wanted something to happen, especially when he was forced by the officials. The movements that caused would definitely be earth-shaking!
Not only them, but also the heads and minds of the three provinces and six ministries, were extremely terrifying at this moment, as if they felt something extremely terrifying was about to happen, they were useless and couldn't help but come out, stood at the door, looking at the palace and the direction of the palace.
He looked uneasy and full of panic.
Both inside and outside the palace were alarmed, but the person involved seemed to have not realized anything.
Lu Dafang was old and slow, and walked to the Chuigong Hall step by step, and came to the gate of the side hall, waiting quietly.
His face was full of age spots and his eyes were swollen. Even if he opened his eyes, there was only one gap. It was difficult for outsiders to see his expression and eyes clearly.
Qin Bing stood not far behind him, and he wanted to speak but stopped several times, with an unconcealed worry on his face.
At this moment, Zhao Xu had already come in through the side door of Chuigong Hall, stood in the middle, and looked outside.
Not far or near, he happened to see Lu Dafang. An old man was quiet, but he put pressure like a mountain.
Lu Dafang lowered his head, wondering if he saw Zhao Xu inside, and he didn't move.
Zhao Xu looked up at the side hall. The side hall was not big, with a long table in the middle and a few tables and chairs not far from the right.
The Chuigong Hall is the place where the emperor works every day, but because Zhao Xu did not take charge of the rule, it was basically empty.
"I have to come here often..." Zhao Xu murmured to himself.
Chenpi stood beside him, as if she felt the depressing atmosphere, lowered her head and said nothing.
The noon bell rang in the palace, and Zhao Xu muttered and said, "Chen Pi, pass on the meal, please come in."
"yes."
Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu, responded softly, and turned around to invite Lu Dafang.
Chen Pi didn't know what Zhao Xu was going to do. When he went out, he looked at Lu Dafang who was standing still and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, the time is up, the official family invites you in."
Lu Dafang nodded and walked forward.
Qin Bing watched Lu Dafang cross the threshold and hurriedly said, "The emperor is here to accompany my husband."
Without waiting for Chenpi to stop him, Qin Bing stepped forward, held Lu Dafang's hand, and accompanied him into the side hall.
He must follow in. If the government really forces the magistrate, Qin Bing will already be on the verge of protecting him.
