Only those who are above the sixth grade of Beijing officials have the right and responsibility to participate in the Great Court Meeting, so Manbao belongs to the group with the smallest officials, and she was originally arranged next to the door, but she is young, so she was even placed in the back few rows.
Her place was in the fourth column of the last row, next to a window.
Fortunately, the windows are closed in winter, so even if there is a bit of ventilation, if you wrap up your official clothes tightly and hold them in your hands, you won't feel so cold.
Man Bao sat down in his seat, and when he looked up, he saw Master Tang who was obliquely in front of her. He walked to his seat and was about to sit down. When he lowered his head, he met Man Bao's eyes, and both of them fell silent. one time.
It was Man Bao who came back to his senses first, and raised his hand to greet him happily.
Master Tang nodded at her, and was about to sit down when he saw Man Bao looking in his direction with surprise on his face, and the little paw that he just waved with him started to shake excitedly.
He looked back, and saw Yang and Shucai greeted the adults outside and came in. Seeing Man Bao also smiled, instead of sitting down in a hurry, he went forward to talk to her, "You came too early."
Man Bao said proudly: "After all, it is the first time to attend the Grand Court Meeting, so naturally you can't be late."
Yang Heshu nodded, and she nodded approvingly.
Yang Heshu and Tang He were sitting side by side, and soon another middle-aged handsome uncle came over. Master Tang and Master Yang greeted each other and called out, "Magistrate Guo."
Man Bao already knew that this was the county magistrate of Wannian County. He was sitting behind Tang He, right next to Man Bao.
County magistrate Guo returned the salute, then turned around, saw Man Bao paused and saluted, "Master Xiao Zhou."
Man Bao immediately stood up to return the salute, and also called out: "Master Guo."
The nearby officials stepped into their positions one after another, and greeted Man Bao whether they knew them or not, "Master Zhou..."
"Master Xiao Zhou..."
"Doctor Zhou..."
Regardless of whether Man Bao knew him or not, he clasped his hands together and bowed. Those who knew each other would call out, and those who did not know each other would bend down and bow slightly in return.
Finally, everyone saluted and sat down in their respective positions and waited.
These petty officials were the first to come. The adults were either talking outside the hall, or sitting and waiting in the side hall.
Wait until the time is almost up before entering, and when the time is up, the servants will roll their names, indicating that the emperor has arrived, so everyone gets up from their seats and stands aside. Said: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wanan."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, give me a seat."
Gu Zhong beside the emperor shouted loudly, "Excuse me, give me a seat—"
Then everyone straightened up and sat down one after another.
Sitting cross-legged on her low seat, Man Bao felt that the chair was not only a bit cold without a cushion, but also a bit uncomfortable. I wonder if she can bring a soft cushion next time...
Just thinking about it, the court meeting has already begun.
We first discussed the important documents submitted by various places. For example, it is snowing in various places now, and all places have to report the amount of snowfall to check whether there is any damage.
After listening for a while, Man Bao didn't hear any news from Luojiang County, and these things were not of her interest, so she was a little distracted.
With this distraction, her eyelids couldn't help getting heavier and heavier, her little head slowly, slowly drooped down, and her breathing gradually took longer.
Koko: ...
This is the host's autonomous behavior, and it does not conflict with the collection behavior. According to the program, it shouldn't interfere, but it still couldn't help reminding, "Host, it's not easy to sleep at the Great Court?"
This voice came to mind, and Man Bao agreed with it deeply, and then vaguely felt that he was awake, trying to wake up, and listened carefully.
Keke received the host's "Got it" in his mind, and then the host's radio waves fluctuated, and he fell into a deeper sleep.
Koko: ...
It doesn't care.
Man Bao fell asleep with her head lowered, but her sleep was not sound. She could still hear the voices in the court room vaguely. Several times when Ke Ke thought she was going to be discovered, she raised her head slightly. He opened his eyes to look ahead, moved his numb body, then lowered his head and continued to doze off.
Keke was stunned. It grew up with her since she was a child, and it was the first time she knew that she had such an ability.
It's a pity that it doesn't know how restless Man Bao sleeps, she has been fighting in her heart.
It was as if there were several villains in my heart, and one said, "It's wrong to sleep."
One said: "If you are caught, you will be fined."
Another said: "It's embarrassing, in front of so many people."
But the little person sitting in the middle couldn't wake up bit by bit, so she could only wake up from time to time and look up to look around.
Of course, she thought it was from time to time, and the interval was not long, but in Koko's view, it was like sleeping all the time.
Zhou Man thinks she is serious, but the county magistrate Guo sitting next to her is not an idiot, he didn't realize it at the beginning, how could he not discover it after such a long time
He turned his head to look at Zhou Man's head bit by bit, opened his mouth, and still didn't say anything for a long time.
Forget it, the age is not much different from his daughter.
By the way, her main duty is to be an imperial physician, so why did she come to court? Those grown-ups are too capable of tossing people.
County magistrate Guo turned his head to one side, and came out of nowhere.
No one disturbed him, so Manbao slept more and more deeply, and slept longer and longer.
Suddenly, Man Bao was poked, she woke up instantly, opened her eyes and looked up innocently.
He saw Mr. Tang get up and straighten his clothes, and while he was straightening his clothes, he turned his head and gave her a sneaky look.
Man Bao sat up straight in an instant, not daring to doze off anymore, but she is much more energetic now, although it feels like she only slept for less than half a quarter of an hour.
She couldn't help asking Keke: "How long have I been asleep?"
Keke: "One hour and twelve minutes."
Man Bao couldn't believe it, how could she have slept for so long, she obviously only felt gone for a short while.
While he was thinking, Mr. Tang had already walked to the front, and replied with a slight bow: "Xu has already confessed that she was ordered by Yu Shui, the housekeeper of the Yang family in Shuile Street, and I have taken Yu Shui for interrogation yesterday. But Your Majesty, I want to ask Yang Rong personally."
Yang Rong is the uncle of the Fifth Prince and the elder brother of Concubine Yang Gui. He only has a false job and no real job, so he is not in court at this time.
The emperor said blankly: "You are allowed to ask. You are the magistrate of Chang'an County, and he is from Chang'an County. Can't you ask him?"
"Your Majesty, the servants in Yang's residence said that Yang Rong was not at home, but they couldn't tell where he had gone. I didn't see anyone from noon to night yesterday."
Emperor: "Yin Li."
Yin Li bowed and said: "The minister has also gone, but after the Yang family becomes a duke, the minister can't enter by force without an edict."
The main reason is that they didn't have Yu Shui's confession. He either said that he was wronged, or that he ordered it, and he even wanted to commit suicide at one point.
They don't have any evidence to force their way in now. Concubine Yang Gui and the fifth prince are still in the palace, so the two of them are a little more restrained.
