The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1126 Where is Shengyuan?

Ever since Sheng Yuan returned to the capital, the court, which had pretended to be calm, had been experiencing barely visible ripples.

Especially after she was summoned to the palace, many court officials began to focus their attention on her.

Right now the Emperor is obsessed with alchemy and doesn't care about state affairs. All government power depends on the Empress. Although there is a cabinet to check and balance the situation, judging from the talent and tyranny that Empress Sheng has gradually revealed, the cabinet may fall over time.

This was the situation when Sheng Yuan and Sheng Wenzhen had not returned.

  If the sisters join forces, given Sheng Wenzhen's temper and the get-out-of-jail-free card in her hand, I'm afraid Kyoto will be in chaos for a long time!

Most court officials are not afraid of excitement and disputes. How can they climb the ladder to fame without fighting?

What they fear is reckless and unruly behavior.

But Sheng Yuan is best at playing by her own rules!

  Eh! If they had known this earlier, they should have cherished the court without Sheng Wenzhen even more!

What a quiet, friendly and harmonious morning court atmosphere it was!

Just when many court officials were looking worried and preparing to reminisce with Sheng Yuan at the morning court, they suddenly discovered that Sheng Yuan... was absent from work!

It's not her style to be passive in court!

  From previous encounters, this guy is more interested in the morning court than going to the stage to watch a play!

Based on her mobility, shouldn't she be standing here ready to fight? !

Where are the people?! Where is the big guy?!

  If she doesn't show up, how can they take the initiative and launch a wave of impeachment? !

No, he said he had been back to Beijing for a few days, right? Why is he still wandering around Beijing like he has never seen the world?!

Even if we dig three feet deep into the ground in Kyoto, it is still soil you are familiar with. Why are you wandering around with your hands behind your back like a big shot?

  Why don't you hurry back to court?!

It's time to go to court!

……

Sheng Yuan was completely unaware of the sincere cries from her colleagues in the court. She was recently busy studying how to conquer the Five Military Command Office!

"Yuan Jie'er, how many times have we walked around Kyoto? Is there any point in walking this way?"

An Yu was riding a horse, looking up at the warm sun, and waving the folding fan in his hand even harder.

"I told you not to come before, but you kept crying and shouting to come! Now you've followed me here, and you're yelling that you want to go back!" Sheng Yuan's sunburned face was speechless, "Do you think I'm just taking a walk? I have to see how the Nine Cities Military and Horse Mansion is doing!"

"The City Defense Battalion and the City Patrol have been working well together. Ever since Duke Sheng took over, after some drastic measures, the two sides have stopped competing with each other."

"This is going to be a piece of iron!"

Shengyuan also found many adjustments in the details.

"In the past, as long as there was no enemy, the city gates would be in chaos and the city guards would not show up. The patrol officers would handle the situation on their own... But now, I see that they have taken over the task of checking officials and generals entering the capital."

"Yes, when I went back to Beijing, it was the people from the City Guard who asked about it." An Yu nodded and said, "Originally, the City Guard would at most check the armory under the charge of the Nine Cities Military Office at regular intervals, but now, they have sent a small team to station there. If you don't know, you might think someone is going to rob the armory!"

"I remember that it was originally a resting place for the City Patrol, but many of them were transferred to the City Defense Battalion."

"That's not all! Brother Sheng told me a while ago that the City Patrol Division's recent duties overlap with those of the Internal Guards. For this reason, the Internal Guards' commander has visited the City Patrol Division many times. Unfortunately, no matter how many times they met, nothing was accomplished!"

When An Yu said this, he suddenly remembered the topic he had just discussed, and whispered to Sheng Yuan, "But what do the changes in the City Guard Battalion and the City Patrol have to do with the Five Military Command?"
