Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1258

Several people got off their carriages, got dressed, greeted each other, and went into the palace to the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the door of the imperial study, Eunuch Qi said, "The emperor is still reviewing memorials. You should kneel down and wait first."

Several people looked at each other, at a loss.

So the Emperor dug them out of their beds in the middle of the night and made them kneel down as punishment?

Eunuch Qi poured hot tea for Emperor Mingde and asked, "Master, the masters have been kneeling outside for an hour. Do you want to see them?"

Emperor Mingde did not even raise his head. "Let them kneel first. I am not resting yet."

It was almost dawn when Emperor Mingde dealt with a pile of memorials on the desk before allowing a few ministers with flat noses and crooked mouths to enter the imperial study.

This is a whole night of kneeling!

These people are now in their thirties and are considered to have the most successful careers in the court.

They can be considered as trusted ministers of Emperor Mingde, and they also participated in part of the earlier "Qingchen Plan".

The Empress Dowager's party once tried to win them over, but they all stood the test.

These people were able to rise to the positions of important officials after experiencing the ups and downs of their previous lives, and they can be considered outstanding people in all aspects.

Of course, his smoothness should not be underestimated. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in a high position and would be suppressed by Emperor Rongguang.

In fact, not only did they not go with the flow, but they continued to climb up even as many loyal ministers and generals fell.

These three later became the Minister of Revenue, Minister of Personnel, and Minister of Rites during the reign of Emperor Rongguang.

An important official of the imperial court!

When the country was destroyed, they also worked hard to serve the country.

Can!

Emperor Mingde raised his heavy eyes and glanced over them one by one.

The three of them were shocked and knelt down hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Normally at this time, Emperor Mingde would not let people kneel for too long, and would just shout "Stand up".

Only today, kneel down!

The three of them only felt that Emperor Mingde's gaze was like a hot iron hanging over their heads.

So nervous!

I feel so confused!

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on my forehead, but I didn't dare wipe it.

I couldn't help but wonder, did I do something out of line recently to make the emperor unhappy?

Emperor Mingde asked, "Do you know why you were summoned to the palace in the middle of the night?"

The three of them also wanted to ask, why were we summoned into the palace in the middle of the night?

The vests of the three men were soaked with sweat and their knees were numb from kneeling.

Emperor Mingde glanced at the sky and lost interest. "Go get ready. It's time to go to court."

Three people: "!!!"

Let us kneel for a night and then go to court?

The three men went to court dejectedly, and like three old men, they could fall asleep just by lying on one side.

For three consecutive nights, these unlucky guys attended court affairs during the day, and knelt outside the imperial study for the first half of the night and inside the door for the second half of the night.

However, Cen Yuan knew that Emperor Mingde was telling him in this way that these were the people who assassinated him.

Wang Chengyou!

Lu Shiliang!

Wu Hongbo!

This was something Cen Yuan had not expected. These people were honest people. In the corrupt environment of Emperor Rongguang's reign, it was not easy for them to maintain a clear mind.

In fact, they are the same type as Zhao Liren. They do practical and honest things, but they will not stick to their principles to the end.

They know how to be cunning, how to protect themselves, and how to be an official. Otherwise, how could they have climbed to the position of a fourth-rank official at such a young age?

Could these few people alone make Emperor Mingde so difficult to speak? Cen Yuan felt it was a bit strange, there must be something fishy going on.
