Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

As Zhu Yunhuan issued an order.

Several eunuchs who were delivering imperial edicts immediately dispersed from the Qianqing Palace and headed to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, the Audit Bureau, the Censorate, the Industrial Bureau, and other government offices.

Not long after.

Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui, Minister of Revenue Fu Youwen, Minister of Works Qin Kui, Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate Yuan Tai, Director of the Audit Bureau Zhuo Jing, and Director of the Industry Department Wang Yingxin... all hurried to the square in front of the Qianqing Palace.

"Why were you summoned too? This imperial decree came so suddenly. Have you heard anything? What is His Majesty's intention?"

Zhan Hui was originally nervous, but when he saw Fu Youwen, he felt a little relieved. However, he changed his mind and felt that... things might not be that simple, and he couldn't help feeling even more nervous.

This little ancestor of the Qianqing Palace is no pushover.

Who knows what kind of trouble they will cause?

Fu Youwen frowned and shook his head, with a hint of fear on his face: "Your Majesty's intentions, I dare not easily speculate anything." He did not forget that he suffered a big setback at the beginning of this year - in front of the current Emperor Kaiqian, nothing is certain.

He didn't finish his sentence.

His eyes fell on a figure that was also rushing over: "Hmm...? Qin Kui? Judging from his appearance, could it be that he also received the imperial decree from His Majesty? Hiss..."

Fu Youwen's eyes fixed.

He took a deep breath meaningfully and said, "I'm afraid today's matter will not be simple at all."

Qin Kui is a very out-of-place existence in the court today. He has completely become a lone minister, or it can be said that everyone knows that he is a dog of the current emperor. No matter how the emperor acts, he will only be firmly loyal to the current emperor.

Generally speaking.

Zhu Yunhuan might have summoned Qin Kui alone, or he might have summoned the two of them alone to arrange separate tasks. But it was rare for people of their status to come to the Qianqing Palace together.

Before Fu Youwen could figure anything out.

Zhan Hui's tone was filled with surprise. "Master Fu, there's more than just Qin Kui! Yuan Tai, Wang Yingxin, and...that Audit Bureau Director Zhuo Jing, who has been quietly hiding by Your Majesty's side, but single-handedly stirred up a bloody storm at the end of last year!"

The imperial edict was issued at the same time, and everyone arrived at about the same time, and met in front of the Qianqing Palace at about the same time.

It’s just… when everyone sees each other.

There was only one thought in my mind: "Isn't this lineup a little too weird?"

If it were a small court meeting attended by the six ministries and major important departments, then the heads of the six ministries were missing the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice. Moreover, departments newly established by His Majesty, such as the Industrial Department and the Audit Bureau, would not participate in such a council.

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Old Zhan, get ready for a storm." Fu Youwen felt his palms sweating and his eyebrows twitching unconsciously. He patted Zhan Hui's shoulder and said in a serious tone.

"Tsk! It hasn't been long since the last auspicious sign like sweet potato was born! His Majesty is doing this again..." Zhan Hui shook his head bitterly.

After saying this, his expression immediately changed, and he forced a gentle smile, as if he had not just said anything to Fu Youwen. He greeted Qin Kui and others who were approaching: "Hey, Lord Qin is here too? And... Lord Wang, Lord Zhuo... You two are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and you are busy with official duties, so you don't see them often on weekdays."

Fu Youwen rolled his eyes silently: "How can you still act like a seasoned veteran at a time like this?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

"I am of low rank and usually only do some physical work for Your Majesty. I am not as good as Lord Zhan." Wang Yingxin and Zhuo Jing responded to him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

At this moment.

Ma Sanbao, who had been waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, came over, flicked his whisk, and said with a polite smile, "Greetings, gentlemen. Now that everyone is here, please come in. His Majesty is waiting for you inside."
