"Dada... The sound of the galloping horses of the war horses came to mind on the silent official road, and more than a dozen horses, as if a sound, reflected the excellent training of this team. Approaching the city wall, but it stopped automatically, and according to the curfew in the capital, the city gate could not be opened at night. However, after the team waited under the city wall for a while, the city gate opened, and the Suzaku Street stretched within a certain range of three steps and one post, ready to go, and the cold light was bursting.

The person who arrived was Guo Shun, Guo Shun received the urgent report at night and rode his horse to the city, in order to achieve the fastest speed, everyone in the team rode two horses to transfer, before dawn, had rushed to the capital. The outer city of the capital at night is guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and Guo Shun is the supreme commander of the Royal Forest Army, otherwise Guo Shu would not even be able to transmit the letter at this time.

"Master," said a servant-like man who rushed out of the darkness of the city wall, "the eldest lady has something to say. ”

Guo Shun reined in his horse, his anxious expression could no longer be concealed, and he waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, I will talk about it later." ”

The servant stepped forward again and blocked Guo Shun's way, "The eldest lady said, you must make it clear here, the eldest lady said, 'This is a false accusation, you must be sure that the confession is not true, I have personally tested, please ask the royal trial, the time limit is coming, I hope to seize the opportunity', the eldest lady also said that there is no obstacle at home for the time being, and the master can enter the palace directly." With that, the servant silently stepped aside.

Although the subject of these words was changed several times, Guo Shun still understood, Guo Shu asked him to interrogate himself before the royal driver, and he was angry about Guo Shu putting himself in danger, but he was helpless, the bureau had been arranged, and he could only move forward.

After Guo Shun figured it out, he took off all his armor and weapons, wore only a cloth coat, and walked towards the palace on foot, but the palace was still silent at this time.

Emperor Yue has only stopped for a short time at this time, and the recent purge, although he handed over most of the things to the prince, he still has to pass the case over the eyes, and this glance makes him still satisfied, after all, he has just gone to an arm, which should still be compensated, this is to let him practice his hands, and now it seems that the effect is still good. However, it is inevitable that I will be tired, and I am not young after all, and I have often been accompanied by insomnia recently.

"Everyone, everyone-" Liu Zhong, the most favored eunuch beside Emperor Yue, called softly twice, and Emperor Yue suddenly woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and said viciously, "What's the matter, say quickly, my sweet dream has just been woken up by you, if you don't have anything important, I will not spare you." ”

These words sounded like a threat, but they showed the deep affection between the master and servant, and if they were others, they would not dare to disturb the emperor's dream at such a time.

"Everyone can't blame me, General Guo Shun just came back from Xishan, and urgently asked to see him, as if there was something urgent, he didn't change his court clothes, and came in civilian clothes. "Liu Zhong is very good at mastering proportions, Guo Shun obviously just took off his armor and didn't have time to change his court clothes, but this is considered an untidy dress, Liu Zhong's words were lightly covered, which can be regarded as selling face.

"You said that Guo Shun came back from Xishan? urgently ask to see, what happened, quickly, change my clothes and call him to come to the Ganlu Palace. "The Ganlu Hall is the usual place where Emperor Yue rests, and it is also the place where Emperor Yue summons his concubines, but Emperor Yue has not been obsessed with women in recent years, and Ganlu Hall has gradually become a place for Emperor Yue to rest. The reception in the Ganlu Hall also shows the intimacy between the monarch and the ministers, after all, not everyone can come to the Ganlu Hall at night.

Emperor Yue cheered up, looked at Guo Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, but wearing a single dress in late autumn, felt pity in his heart, and his anger at Guo Shun who disturbed him in the middle of the night was also gone, walked over, helped Guo Shun up with his own hands, and then returned to the dragon chair and asked: "You came late at night, but is there an emergency military situation? No matter how urgent it is, you have to add a few more clothes, if you are sick, it is not good." ”

Emperor Yue is not using Aiqing, but you, of course, this is also the case that there are no outsiders, the trust between the monarch and the minister, I am afraid that it is beyond the imagination of some people.

Guo Shun arched his hand, and when he was grateful, he walked to the side and found Zhang Xizi to sit down, and said: "I entered the palace late at night, not because of the military, but because of family affairs, but this matter involves the Criminal Department and the Inspection Department, I have to come to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty can give justice." After speaking, he kowtowed a few times.

Emperor Yue was even more puzzled in his heart, he didn't know that the Criminal Department was the power of the prince, so he handed over the recent affairs to the prince, but the inspection department was in charge of King Rui, and it was also to balance all parties. Why did the Criminal Department get involved with the Inspection Department? When he saw Guo Shun dressed in a single shirt and kowtow to him, he was even more suspicious in his heart.

"Tell me first, what's going on? I'm going to deal with it and give you justice. Emperor Yue's words became a little colder, and he also showed his emotional bias of "returning Guo Shun's justice", which made Guo Shun a lot more satisfied.

"I was in Xishan to train the army, who knew that tonight someone suddenly came to the house to say that the inspection department led people to say that there was someone in my family who collaborated with the enemy, rushed in to search, the mother came in and was not in good health, the doctor said that the end is approaching, the little girl was serving by the side of the mother, is dealing with the letters of the mother and the father before, in order to prepare for the aftermath, who knew that the inspection department suddenly rushed in, insisted that the little girl was burning the evidence of the enemy, and couldn't help but say that the little girl was arrested in the prison, my daughter-in-law was still injured in the process of arrest, and now she is still unconscious, the mother is frightened, and the situation is even worse, I think this matter is very extensive after all, and I hope that Your Majesty can give me a justice, and the little girl is innocent。 ”

After listening to this, Emperor Yue fell into deep thought, and it was only for a while, he summoned Liu Zhong and ordered: "Urgently recruit the prince, King Rui, Zhu Shangshu, and the people on duty in the inspection department tonight to the Xuanshu Palace," Emperor Yue thought for a while, and added, "Let the people on duty tonight in the prison also come over, and find a piece of clothing for Guo Qing." ”

Liu Zhong responded and quickly found someone to inform him. There were only Emperor Yue and Guo Shun left in the main hall, Emperor Yue looked at Guo Shun's anxious expression, and comforted: "Don't be too anxious, the truth of the matter will come out soon, presumably she will have nothing to do in prison, don't worry, go, follow me to the Xuanshu Palace." ”

Guo Shun still didn't let go of his heart, but he couldn't touch Emperor Yue's face, so he had to straighten his face and follow Emperor Yue to the Xuanshu Palace.
