Baishixian Road

Chapter 138

At the gate of the city of Kyoto, a group of cavalry entered in groups.

The cavalrymen holding the flag in the front are full of vigor, and the cavalrymen behind are also strong and sturdy. The combat strength of these people can be seen from the heavy armor on their bodies and the long knife at their waists.

A real violent machine.

Seeing this posture, the people naturally hid far away, watching the excitement from a distance.

"Who is this, so arrogant, you must know that this is the city of the emperor, at the feet of the emperor..."

"That's the third prince returning from the frontier, the son of the emperor, of course he is crazy."

"Is there something wrong, otherwise, how could the third prince return to the capital from the guarded state?"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the prince being abolished as the crown prince some time ago."

"This...is it going to..."

"Shh, let's talk about it in private, don't talk about it. The capital is not peaceful recently. I heard that many people have disappeared, and there are frequent visions."

"No, there was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night a few days ago, I went out to have a look, my good guy, something broke a hole in the clouds in the sky..."

"Also, there was a loud noise before the second palace. I heard that half of the palace was demolished, and some people saw a big snake, which is thicker than my millstone."

"Is there such a thing?"

"No."

"Just now, you have seen so many swallows circling, I think there must be two or three hundred."

"I think it's more than that. It's a miracle. I've lived for so many years. This is the first time I've seen it."

Among the group of cavalry at this moment, one man's armor is different from the others, and it is even more luxurious.

At this time, officials greeted them in front of them, and there was a big battle.

Obviously, the return of the third prince to the capital has become a hot topic of discussion in the streets and alleys today. Of course, they are all discussed in private. Can only be ranked second.

Recently, there are obviously more than these few unusual things in Kyoto.

At this moment, on the second floor of a teahouse close to the city gate, a young man looked down at the cavalry team going away, then took out a booklet and a pen from his arms, moistened the tip of the pen in his mouth, and recorded it in the book.

"The third prince enters the city at three o'clock in Shenshi, carrying fifty Xiaoqi, wearing armor and swords, Xiao Wenyuan, Zhang Zhihe, Yu Hong, Zheng Guan and other officials greet him."

When you're done, blow dry the ink and put the booklet away.

The young man left immediately.

In Kyoto, there are many similar people.

Eventually, these pamphlets would be collected before sunset to the 'Commoner Guard', a secret department directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, sent by the commanding envoy of the commoner guard to the chief eunuch in the palace, and then presented to the emperor.

Reading pamphlets every day is also a kind of relaxation for the emperor.

Big or small matters in the capital involve officials, common people, evils... What other people know, the emperor needs to know, and what others don't know, the emperor also needs to know.

The governor held a wooden tray and presented a dozen or so selected booklets.

Instead of leaving, he stood respectfully behind.

If the emperor has questions, he will ask him.

If you don't ask, it's best to treat him as a pillar.

A pillar without the slightest sense of existence.

The emperor leaned back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and then picked up a booklet to read.

"It's not peaceful in Kyoto recently."

It seems to be mumbling, like talking to himself, but it may also be talking to the eunuch here.

At this time, the eyesight and experience of the eunuch will be tested.

When you can strike up a conversation and when you can't, you must grasp the scale and the heat. If you don't grasp it well, the consequences will be quite serious.

Losing errands and positions are secondary, because those who can be in a room know some secrets more or less. If they are really kicked out or masturbated, then there is no need to think about what will happen.

There must be only one dead end.

The emperor, his former subordinates, were all capable of killing him.

At this moment, the governor and eunuch knew that they could not talk to each other after observing it. It seemed that the emperor needed someone else to answer the conversation, but in fact, judging from the tone of voice and expression, this was the emperor's statement, just a statement of his mood at this moment.

Then there was only the sound of leaflets being flipped through.

Drinking tea, refilling tea, the small sound of brocade clothes rubbing against each other.

Other than that, there was hardly any other sound in the room.

Read a few brochures.

The emperor said again: "There have been a lot of strange things recently."

This sentence obviously needs a conversation.

The governor and eunuch immediately bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many visions recently. For example, a few days ago, someone saw a group of monks coming from outside the city, but after entering the city, no one saw them again, and There are not many monks in the monasteries and temples in the city."

"In addition, the number of cases of disappearances in the city has increased. Just yesterday, nine civilians went missing for no reason. No one was alive or dead. If calculated on a monthly basis, this month, a hundred civilians have disappeared."

The emperor nodded.

Pass the booklet in your hand to the eunuch.

"Go and send it to Lao Kui, let him check it out, and give him a deadline, just three days, and a result must be given in three days."

"According to the order!"

For this kind of thing, the supervising eunuch will not go in person, just tell the people below to go.

"Recently, officials at all levels have been walking around in private very frequently. My sons are also eager to move. It seems that I was a little too hasty in abolishing the crown prince."

The emperor sighed.

This must be accepted.

But, it’s not easy to pick up. The back of the superintendent and eunuch’s nervousness is wet at this time, but he still has to bite the bullet and whisper: "Your Majesty, the moon is cloudy and sunny. Besides, the flowers are not red in a hundred days. This country and the country In your eyes, it is a bigger family, and some family conflicts and incidents are unavoidable, but as long as His Majesty sits in charge, any disturbances will eventually return to calm."

These words are very beautiful.

The emperor nodded, then thought for a while and asked, "The moon waxes and wanes. This sentence is wonderful. I seem to have heard Lao Kui say it before."

"Yes, indeed he said it."

"I wish you a long life, a thousand miles to share the beautiful beauty. This sentence is full of all kinds of life, and it also contains great principles. At that time, the old Kui said that it was a poem written by the new head catcher of the Zhengqi Department. Speaking of it, I really want to meet this person .”

"Your Majesty, what happened at the second prince's mansion a few days ago, plus the earlier incident of seeing the moon through the clouds, and the sudden appearance of the flying swallow today are all related to this person."

"By the way, what's it called?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that person's name is Xu Mo."

"Since I'm from Lao Kui's side, I don't have to worry too much. I don't need to trust anyone, but Zheng Qi can entrust important things to me at any time."

"The Zhengqi Division is indeed loyal to His Majesty."

"You are wrong. They are not loyal to me. They are loyal to my identity. Tomorrow, I will call that Xu Mo. I want to meet this person and discuss poetry and songs."

"According to the order."

At this time, a eunuch reported outside, saying that the queen sent some refreshments made by herself.

The emperor called people in.

Then he saw a eunuch serving the queen come in with a food box, and then knelt down to salute.

The dim sum was taken out and tasted by a special eunuch.

After confirming that it was non-toxic, it was served on the emperor's table.

This night, the night is as usual, it seems to be the same as usual.

But this night, because of a big event happened, it was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

"The landslide, the landslide!"

Before dawn, the palace was already full of murderous aura, and the guards stationed in the palace had five steps and one man, and the surrounding area was airtight.

"The landslide!"

The members of Xiangge entered the palace urgently overnight.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, under the emperor, he was the prime minister, and the prime minister commanded the Xiangge, and there were three more prime ministers.

In a critical moment, such as a "landslide of the emperor", especially in an accidental death, the prime minister must ensure that the crown prince and crown prince successfully inherit the throne of the emperor, ensure that the legal system is not lost, the court is not chaotic, and the world is stable.

But the current situation is obviously more difficult.

Outside the Dragon Hall, Prime Minister Li Qianzheng of Great Xia had a serious expression on his face.

In front of him are the three prime ministers in the Xiangge.

Basically, they can control all ministries and departments, the real core of power.

In addition to them, there are also the commanders of the Imperial City Guards. They are all wearing armor and carrying knives. They are full of murderous looks. Around them, layers of military guards have already guarded various places. The tense atmosphere in the air is suffocating.

Soon, the two most powerful supervisors and eunuchs in the palace were brought over.

Li Qian glanced at the two of them.

"You are all the Holy Majesty's close attendants, and you are also old people in the palace. You should understand the stakes of this matter. I won't say much. Let me ask you, how did the Holy Majesty die?"

The two superintendent eunuchs had long been frightened.

Normally they are considered extremely powerful, but in front of the prime minister Li Qianzheng, they can't shake at all.

Especially at this moment, Li Qianzheng can take their skin off with a single word.

Naturally, tell the truth.

Tell the emperor's daily life yesterday, or even a few days ago.

"Before the Holy Majesty rested, I read the booklet of Busi, drank some tea, and ate the snacks sent by the Queen's Empress. Who knew that in the middle of the night..."

"Have you checked your diet?"

"Before the Holy Majesty eats it, it has been tasted by a special person, and it is non-toxic. After inspection, it is the same."

Li Qian was squinting his eyes.

This kind of thing cannot be faked, and no one dares to fake it.

From the current point of view, the emperor should be old in body, coupled with the hard work of the state affairs, and his mental strength is weak, which caused the accidental avalanche.

But not the time.

"Your Majesty, how can you abandon your country at such a time?"

Li Qian looked up to the sky and sighed.

At this moment, the sky is slightly bright, but the clouds are thick.

It is cloudy.

windy.

"It is going to rain!"

　Even ask for a monthly ticket, the last few days of April, brothers who have tickets, vote for more, and strive to exceed 4, thank you very much!
