Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 234 Entering the Palace
"Senior Brother Minghui?!" The fat Taoist was the first to react, he threw the reins, got out of the car, respectfully imitated the etiquette of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and bowed his hands.

There were so many people around, Chen Yuan raised her hand and pressed down the fat Taoist's hand, Ming Hui also motioned for them to follow, and pulled the ox cart to another road.

"Minghui Daoist, you have already arrived in Luodu, waiting here?"

"I went back three days early. I heard that the vassal kings from all over the country raised their troops. I was planning to enter the city. I received a message from Master Qingxu yesterday, so I waited here for fellow Taoists."

The two walked and chatted, and entered the small road on the side of the official road, where a group of people had already gathered, including government servants, soldiers from the imperial city, and the royal eunuch, when he saw Chen Yuan appearing, the eunuch ran away with tears in his eyes. Come, pinch the orchid finger, salute and cry.

"True Monarch, you have to make the decision for the late Emperor. This Prince Qing killed the late Emperor and even pushed your temple. How can you swallow this bad breath? This servant begs the True Monarch to uphold justice!"

"Get up first and talk."

Chen Yuan was still not used to others kneeling on him, so she helped him up, glanced around, and waved hello to the remaining Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion. There was also a pretty girl beside her, and she also looked at him solemnly. Come on, without the playful temper before, I looked at the big brother in front of me with some worry.

After all, she already knew about the fact that the Celestial Master suddenly ordered the cultivators to encircle and suppress Chen Yuan on the way here. Such a major event happened in Luodu, and the new emperor even toppled the Lingxian Temple, which is obviously not to be seen.

"What kind of expression do you have, big brother won't be so easily hit!"

Chen Yuan smiled and rubbed her head. After the girl nodded, she turned to face Ming Hui and other Taoist priests, and invited them to the side to ask about the situation in the city.

Ming Hui came a few days earlier, so he naturally heard more news.

"Fellow Taoist hasn't come here yet, there is indeed a change in the city. Those believers in the city set fire to the yamen, the big prison, and the four barbarian houses, causing chaos in the city. Many people were arrested and imprisoned, and some fled in disorder After leaving Luodu, I went to various places. Recently, it has been rumored that in many places, people with yellow scarves gathered to build Zhenjun Temple for you. When the government blocked it, they clashed with the government. Now the vassal kings of various places have raised their troops again, and some people plan to respond to the vassal. king!"

Chen Yuan frowned, "So serious?"

Originally thought that the temple was torn down and the believers scattered, Xu Huaiyu took his family and left Luodu to avoid the limelight and wait for him to come back, but unexpectedly he went straight to it.

Wouldn't it be that after hearing the story of the Yellow Turban Uprising, I started directly, so that I would not sit in the temple, but in the temple?
He had never thought about being an emperor. Where is the life of a human being, he still practiced Taoism and immortality, and enjoyed seeing countless scenery at his ease.

"I will solve the matter of the believers. If the quarrel continues, it will only increase the casualties." Chen Yuan knew that if the quarrel continued, the civilian believers and the people in the city would be the most injured. With just one person, the pillars of the family might collapse.

As he spoke, he also asked about the books Qing Xu had mentioned, "Is there a way for me to enter the palace with you?"

"Master Uncle Qingxu said about this, when we enter the palace to face the saint, fellow Taoists will disguise themselves and sneak in."

With a new emperor, the Tianshi Mansion still has a reason to enter the palace to face the saints, so it will not arouse suspicion.After all, there is no delay here, one of the Taoist priests is similar in stature to Chen Yuan, so he changed his robes with him, put on a Taoist bun, a blue outer robe with wide sleeves, a yin and yang picture on his back, floating dust in one hand, and a mahogany sword in the other , is quite the momentum of a Taoist priest.

The king's internal officials also wanted to go together. He was a figure in the palace, so it was logical for him to return to the palace, and he could also give Chen Yuan some help.

The discussion was probably settled, Chen Yuan asked Qiao'er to help take care of the master, and told Sun Zhengde to go to nearby towns to search for Xu Huaiyu, and told him not to mess around for the time being.

Then he mixed into the team of Tianshi Mansion, led by the eunuch, went to the city gate, and was interrogated. The soldiers at the city gate saw the eunuch in the palace, and knew that going out on business had nothing to do with this palace change. After a while, let them in.

"True Monarch, when you're in the palace, don't go to the back garden. It's where the emperor's concubines live. Even important officials in the court can't come in and out at will. Then don't go wrong."

The eunuch whispered in front, and after a while, he walked through the long street that had become a bit cold, and came to the foot of the imperial city. The guards looked at the token, opened the gate of the city to let them go, and sent a fast rider to the palace to pass it on.

It was the first time for Chen Yuan to enter the imperial palace. The high palace walls, the spacious and secluded palace roads, are solemn and solemn, and occasionally the towering corners of the palace can be seen, and the glazed glass reflects the sunlight.

Everything was eerily quiet.

"Zhenjun, it's like this in the palace. Few people dare to make loud noises. If those palace maids, servants and guards make a little noise, and the head in charge finds out, they will be punished."

When he arrived in the palace, the king's official was like a fish in water, with a never-ending smile on his face, cocking his orchid fingers and whispering rumors in the palace that no one else had heard.

After passing through the Chengtian Gate, there is the first inspection. During the time when the new king ascended the throne, the search was quite strict, but they were all small eunuchs in the palace. When they saw the king's internal officials winking, they all lowered their faces in understanding, and made a hasty inspection. It's over.

'The eunuchs are really the eyes, ears and hands of the emperor. No wonder the eunuchs control most of the court when they encounter a foolish emperor. As long as they communicate with each other, the emperor in the deep palace will not be able to hear or see the real situation outside. '

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan felt very emotional. After passing the inspection here, he quietly tried his mana, as if he was being suppressed by something, and there was even a faint panting and bass in his ears, like someone A behemoth lurks under the palace.

The face of Ming Hui on the side changed slightly, he stretched out his hand to grab Chen Yuan's wrist, and lowered his voice: "In the palace, without the emperor's permission, you can't use power, it will startle the dragon's energy, and it will easily bite yourself back."

Only then did Chen Yuan quickly stop her movements, only a little puzzled, could there be a dragon lurking under the palace?

When he was thinking about it, he had already arrived at the Zining Hall, and the king's inner officer who led the way stepped forward and whispered something to the eunuch in front of the hall, the latter nodded, and then entered the hall to report, while the former returned: "Dear chiefs, you are here Here we are waiting for His Majesty to summon you."

As he spoke, he winked at Chen Yuan.

"This priest, don't you want to go to the toilet? Our family will guide you."

, Ming Hui on the side remained silent, led the rest of the Taoists past him, and went straight to wait outside the main hall. Chen Yuan came out knowingly, followed Wang Neiguan to another place, and walked past the soldiers under the eaves. In his sight, he took small steps, his eyes hinting at a building in the distance intentionally or unintentionally.

Soon, the eunuch brought Chen Yuan to the attic, and a guard on duty came to inquire, and the eunuch smiled and pointed to Chen Yuan behind him.

"This Taoist priest, you want to go into the building to read books. You also know that some books are stored here in Tianshi Mansion."

Several guards looked at Chen Yuan without any doubt, let go of the crossed soldiers and let the two of them go in.

The important place of the palace, of course, is regularly cleaned by someone every day. The dust is hard to see. When entering the library, there are rows and rows of bookshelves, which shocked Chen Yuan. They are full of books, from bamboo slips to paper. Ancient books can be found here.

'Recording the content of the gods, it should be ancient, it should be bamboo slips. '

Chen Yuan had a clear goal and asked Wang Neiguan to wait on the first floor. He asked the small official in charge of the building and went straight to the third floor. Sure enough, the rows of bookshelves here were full of thick bamboo slips. Estimated tens of thousands of volumes.

"Do you dare to ask me that the scrolls deposited by the Tianshi Mansion are also among them?"

"The Taoist priest comes with me."

The little official managed this place all the year round, and he was the one who sorted out many books. Naturally, he led Chen Yuan to the two bookshelves, and pointed to the bamboo slips on the three upper floors.

"Master Dao, these are."

After speaking, he retreated and went downstairs tactfully.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going down the stairs, Chen Yuan picked up a roll of bamboo slips, looked at the writing on it: "Warning from the Mind" should not be, put it back, picked up another roll, and continued to search.

It wasn't until the last floor, the second scroll of bamboo slips, that the words engraved on it caught Chen Yuan's eyes.

——Shenben Minutes.
