Volume 1: Emperor Tianwei Chapter 4: There is another mystery
After finishing speaking, Li Gu tidied up his clothes a little, and then began to walk inside.
You must know that he, a eunuch, has a special status, no matter when and where, he can enter directly without being edicted, which was originally a privilege given by Emperor Tianwei.
Otherwise, even if he had the courage to do so today, he wouldn't dare to trespass on the royal banquet like this. After all, today's imperial banquet is really extraordinary, and the people present are all the top power leaders of their Celestial Empire, this is really not a joke.
Not to mention anything else, it's just the crime of great disrespect, which can really destroy the nine clans.
However, who would have thought that when he came closer and took a look, if it weren't for Li Gu's deep cultivation, he would have laughed out loud.
Good guys, these five are really "happy with the monarch and ministers" today. You see that they have been drunk one by one for a long time, and they are in a mess.
What's more, Zhao Jin, the king of Chu who had the biggest movement earlier, was already leaning on the guardrail of the Huxin Pavilion and fell asleep.
Fortunately, the guardrail of this lake pavilion is really strong and dense enough. Otherwise, this one might have really fallen long ago.
Looking at Emperor Tianwei and the Qi King Shangguan Qingyun, they were already asleep at their desks, and only occasionally they could still make one or two vague and strange babbles. It is estimated that this is in a dream, and they are still continuing the "three hundred rounds of the war" just now.
The Yan King Xiahou Zhengjin over there was not much better, not to mention that he was sleeping soundly, and even the soft armor on his upper body had lost most of it, and he didn't know what to do with one shoe, so he probably should have kicked it into the lake to feed the fish.
Not to mention, Song Jie, the king of Qin, really sat firmly in place, and there was no gaffe. But if you take a closer look, the dare to love this one has already fallen asleep, but his back is against the corner column of the Huxin Pavilion, and he is really stable.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, who was sleeping soundly like Emperor Tianwei, suddenly stood up slowly.
I saw him gently patting the Tianwei Emperor next to him, and said with a smile: "Okay, my Imperial Majesty, don't pretend anymore." Anyway, the three of them are really 'hanging', so it's really not interesting for you to pretend again. Besides, Brother Tiewei Li has already come over, do you think you really hide his fiery eyes from others, hehehe. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Emperor Tianwei really laughed and sat up straight, only to hear him laugh loudly: "Okay, you Shangguan brother, if you are really immortal, the foolish brother has already been 'drunk' like this, and he still hasn't hidden your eyes." ”
Speaking of this, he looked around at the three of them, and hurriedly said to Li Gu beside him: "There is our Chief Manager Li, you should hurry up and call someone to send them all to the dormitory in the back, so that they can rest well." ”
He seemed to suddenly remember something, paused slightly, and hurriedly continued: "Especially, especially our General Zhao, we must send you a few more capable guards to take a good look at him." Lest, lest he accidentally go crazy and tear down our dormitory, hahaha......"
Li Gu said: "This is easy to do, the slave maid will go down immediately and make proper arrangements, and absolutely guarantee the thoughtfulness of King Yan and the three princes." It's just that Your Majesty, you and Lord Shangguan, what are the arrangements you two plan to make next? Whether to stay here or move to another place, please make it clear to Your Majesty, and the slaves and maids should also be arranged in advance. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "In this way, I and Brother Shangguan will go to the Chengtiantai in the east to go shopping, which can be regarded as a wake-up bar." As for any other arrangements, then forget it, with our General Zhendong by my side, you should rest assured. ”
Li Gu said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, since there is Shangguan Wang Ye by your side, what else do slaves and maids have to worry about." Besides, Your Majesty, you are fierce and fierce, not a slave and a maid, I am afraid that you are even more energetic than Shangguan Wang Ye at this moment. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Okay, everything here will be handed over to you, and you must take care of the three princes." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, paused slightly, and then continued: "By the way, after you clean up this side, immediately close the door of the Imperial Garden, and strictly prohibit anyone from entering. If someone asks me about the situation with Brother Shangguan, they will say that I am already drunk and unconscious, and Brother Shangguan is here to accompany me. ”
Li Gu said: "Obey the holy will, the slave and maid understand what to do." After settling the three of them, the slave and maid will select a team of guards to personally guard the gate of the imperial garden. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then there is really a brother of the 'Iron Guard' of Lao." ”
Li Gu said: "Where is this, Shangguan Wang Ye is too polite, besides, this is originally the duty of the slave and maid." ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Okay, everyone doesn't have any outsiders anyway, why bother so twisting." Let's go, Brother Shangguan, let's withdraw first, and leave the rest to our Chief Manager Li. Not to mention, Mr. Li is really reassuring. ”
After finishing speaking, I saw him leave the table directly and take the lead along the corridor to the east.
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, first bowed his hand slightly at Li Gu, and then followed closely behind.
Not to mention, just from the steady play and elegant body of the two, Li Gu secretly praised himself from the bottom of his heart. Although the two of them are the pinnacle of the Celestial Empire, they really haven't put aside their peerless magical skills, which is indeed commendable.
After the two of them left, Li Gu didn't greet the two guards outside at all, only to see him smile slightly, directly bent down and picked up Zhao Jin, the king of Chu on the ground, and then strode out.
After leaving the second gate, he first handed over Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, to one of the guards, and then whispered to the other guard: "Long live the Lord is almost drunk inside, so he only ordered to leave the King of Qi to accompany him, and let us send the other three princes back to the palace to take care of them first." In this way, you go out first and transfer the first and second teams of the 'Shen' character team. one, responsible for settling the three princes; The second is responsible for the guard of the Imperial Garden. ”
(It is implicitly stated in the book: At that time, the Forbidden Palace guard battalion of the Celestial Empire was organized into twelve teams according to the twelve earthly branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.) Each team has a total of 100 people, and it is divided into multiple squads, and each team has different roles. )
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "As for the rules here, I don't think I need to talk nonsense anymore." You all know the temper of our Long Live Lord, especially after he is drunk, it is the most taboo for others to disturb him. Today I said ugly things in my head, if any of you mess up the errand, our family will have a hard time, and then we will definitely not spare you little rabbits! ”
Hearing him say this, the guard immediately replied in a low voice: "Master Li, don't worry, the little ones know what to do by themselves, you are always good, and you definitely don't dare to have the slightest ambiguity." Besides, the military regulations of our Celestial Empire are strict, and there is no need to say more about the rules of our forbidden palace. Even if we give the little ones a hundred guts, we will never dare to joke with our lives. ”
Li Gu said: "This is the best, go down on an errand immediately, I have to turn back quickly, there are two unconscious princes inside." ”
As soon as his words fell, the two of them immediately went their separate ways, leaving only another guard, who was there to guard Zhao Jin, the king of Chu who had just been made.
Fortunately, Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, was already unconscious. In addition, for the sake of safety, Li Gu deliberately hit his sleeping hole again. In this way, this can be regarded as truly honest, otherwise this guard may not be able to serve this master.
said that it was too late, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Li Gu's side had already dealt with everything here.
Not only that, but all these three princes were properly placed in the designated dormitory, and effective guards were assigned to serve them specially. Moreover, Li Gu really personally led a small team of elite guards to strengthen the guards of the entire imperial garden.
The flowers bloom two and one on each branch, Li Gu is on their side, so they don't need to worry too much. As the Emperor Tianwei said, this Chief Manager Li is really leaky, which is absolutely reassuring.
As for the so-called Chengtiantai in the mouth of Emperor Tianwei, it is located in the southeast high-pitched position of the Imperial Garden, which is the commanding height of the entire Imperial Garden. This is a three-storey pavilion-style building, very quiet under the four sides, on weekdays, the Emperor Tianwei is very fond of climbing here to admire the moon.
Of course, this Chengtiantai is also the place where the Emperor Tianwei exhales and practices qi and internal strength at midnight, and under normal circumstances, it is absolutely forbidden for idle people to approach at will.
Saying that, the two of them came to the top of the roof, only to see that a set of elegant and exquisite tea sets had already been arranged here, and even the charcoal in the tea stove next to them was still flickering with a little spark.
There is no need to ask, this must be the Emperor Tianwei who arranged all this early, but the tea boy who was supposed to be is nowhere to be found. It is estimated that it should have been quietly incognito a long time ago, leaving only this complete set of ready-made tea sets.
From this point of view, all of this, even including the previous "booze competition", should be deliberately done by Emperor Tianwei. And all of that is just a foreshadowing in front, and the current Chengtiantai secret meeting should be his focus today.
Sure enough, when Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, followed him into the Chengtian Terrace, and just after the guests and hosts were seated, the Tianwei Emperor said softly: "How about it, Brother Shangguan, you are known as the number one thinker in our Celestial Empire today. Tell me, what is the meaning of me inviting you here alone today? ”
