When he returned to the imperial study, it was already the third watch, and Guo Bin, who had been waiting anxiously, saw Li Shimin coming slowly from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back." Seeing Li Shimin's face flushed, he knew that he must have drunk a lot of wine just now, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "The servant prepared a sobering soup for you and put it on the desk." ”

After that, Guo Bin led Li Shimin into the imperial study.

After the two came to the table, he first served the emperor and sat down, and then picked up the silver bowl on the table.

"Your Majesty, this soup is already cold, so the servant will take it to the dining room to warm it for you first."

Guo Bin said that, and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps, but he was stopped again.

"Guo Bin, it's okay." Li Shimin waved his hand to him, "You just need to talk to me here for a while." ”

When Guo Bin heard the emperor say this, he couldn't help but show a hesitant look, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, this cold soup is cold, let's drink it when it's hot."

He thought that if he said that, the other party would definitely ask him to go to the dining room. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin still stubbornly said:

"You just have to listen to what I say."

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so resolute, Guo Bin could only reluctantly turn around and return to his place and hand over the silver bowl in his hand.

Li Shimin took the silver bowl and drank the soup that had been cooled. Then, the soup bowl was placed on the table.

"Guo Bin, do you know? I'm really happy today. Li Shimin looked up at Guo Bin and expressed his emotions word by word.

"Happy? Why? Guo Bin asked suspiciously.

The emperor's expression is really strange, since he is happy, why his eyes are still red, people really can't figure it out.

Li Shimin first sighed, and then the corners of his lips turned up, and a heartfelt smile appeared.

"Tonight, Master Shan made a divination for me, and he said that General Zishu is not only alive, but that one day my two brothers will be able to see each other again. Guo Bin, you say, is this a good thing? ”

Guo Bin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is definitely a great thing, and the slave really wants to congratulate you." ”

As a bystander, although Li Shimin never mentioned to him the brotherhood between himself and Zishu Jiangyuan. But Guo Bin still saw the change in his expression, knowing that General Zishu was a knot in the emperor's heart. If God really opens his eyes and allows their brothers to be reunited, it can definitely be regarded as a good thing.

"Guo Bin, I once told you that as long as you have the heart, one day those lost things will come back." Li Shimin moved his gaze to the wick on the table, and after staring silently for a moment, he sighed.

When Guo Bin heard this, he was very sad in his heart. Yes, if you lose it, you can get it again. So will your self-esteem as a man have another chance to make up for it?

The two monarchs and ministers were like this, thinking about their own thoughts, and they were silent with each other for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly there was a bangzi sound outside, and Guo Bin woke up like a dream and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, it's the fourth watch at the moment, so let's rest early."

"Not busy." Li Shimin stood up suddenly, and ordered eagerly, "Guo Bin, you go and prepare the carriage, let's go to Jinguang Temple now." ”

"Huh?"

Guo Bin gasped, and with the rapid beating of his facial nerves, he only felt a toothache for no reason.

Others say that as the chief eunuch and turning in front of the emperor all day long, it is definitely an extremely fashionable thing. But who knows how difficult it is to solve this unexpected situation.

"Your Majesty, it is now the fourth watch, and there is still one watch to go to the court. What do you think ......? ”

When Guo Bin said this, his words stopped abruptly, he just looked at the emperor with expectant eyes, and quietly waited for the other party to change his mind.

Who knew that the emperor completely ignored his persuasion, and still continued: "By the way, call Mo Jue again and let him go with him." ”

Mo Jue was originally Li Shimin's entourage and scholar when he was the king of Qin, and later his master ascended the throne as the emperor, and was directly promoted to the general of the second rank of Huben, and together with Chen Ling, who was also a general, he commanded the Panmen army originally led by Zishu Jiangyuan.

When Guo Bin heard the emperor say this, he knew that the other party would not be able to go to court today no matter what. Since the master has made up his mind, he, a slave, can only make mistakes. So, in response, he quickly retreated.

The hour was short, and Guo Bin prepared three fast horses. At the same time, Mo Jue, who had not yet fully sobered up, also hurried to meet after receiving the report from the palace.

In this way, under the leadership of Li Shimin, the three of them quietly left the palace without saying goodbye. ‘

As Guo Bin expected in advance, on the fifth watch of the next day, the ministers still came from all directions as before, waiting in a long queue to meet the emperor. However, they waited left and right, but they never saw the door of the temple open. Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts and discussed a lot.

"Lord Lu, what is the situation today? Why did you wait for a long time, but you still couldn't see the emperor? ”

Fang Xuanling saw that the team was getting more and more chaotic, and hurriedly came to Lu Yi, who was leading troops to guard the palace gate, and asked suspiciously.

Lu Yi glanced at everyone, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Fang Xiang, you don't know, the emperor is not in the palace at the moment. ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was taken aback. The Son of Heaven quietly left the palace without saying hello to anyone, and if he encountered danger and didn't even have a helper by his side, what should he do?

Lu Yi observed his words and looks, and when he saw Fang Xuanling's worried face, he comforted:

"Fang Xiang, you can rest assured. The emperor's martial arts are strong, even if there is really a strong man, Xiao Xiaoxiao is not his opponent. What's more, there is General Mo accompanying him, which is enough to ensure safety. ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, his mind calmed down: "If this is the case, the true appearance can be relieved." By the way, Lord Lu, do you know where the emperor has gone on this trip? ”

"This ..... Lu really didn't know. Lu Yi said embarrassedly, "But Fang Xiang, this general thinks that there is someone who should know the whereabouts of the emperor." ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Yi suspiciously, and when he pointed his finger at Shan Zhuokun who was chatting with Yu Chi Baolin in the crowd, he suddenly understood in his heart.

"Lord Lu, I know what you mean. You're right, only Shan Sicheng can guide you in this matter. ”

After that, Fang Xuanling nodded to Lu Yi. Under the gaze of the ministers, he slowly came to Shan Zhuokun's face.

"Master Shan, Lord Lu just said that the emperor is not in the palace at the moment, do you know where he is?"

Although Fang Xuanling's attitude was extremely peaceful, his words were like a stone thrown into the middle of the lake, which instantly stirred up a thousand waves. The ministers looked at him one after another, their faces full of fear.

"Fang Xiang, what do you mean by that? What does it mean that the emperor is not in the palace? Wei Chigong walked quickly to Fang Xuanling's side and said loudly, "Where will the emperor go if he is no longer in the palace?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they echoed it. Outside the temple gate, which was supposed to be extremely quiet, instantly became a noisy place.

Fang Xuanling turned to look at the ministers, beckoned and said, "You don't have to wait for Shao'an, now that the emperor has left the palace, even if he is anxious, it is useless." Now you and I are helpless, and only Shan Sicheng can solve it. ”

When the ministers heard this, they moved their eyes to Shan Zhuokun at the same time, waiting to hear his answer.

Shan Zhuokun blinked, thinking to himself, this must be a stumbling block made by Fang Xuanling, an old man, if he said it correctly, he was afraid that he would be punished for no reason.

That being the case, that brother will show you a good hand today, and I can also let you see how powerful I am.

"Shangxian, please also inform me of the whereabouts of the imperial brother."

Hearing the news of his brother's departure from the palace, Li Yuanchang, who was anxious, hurriedly came to Shan Zhuokun and begged for the other party's help.

"Yes, Immortal, now is the time for you to show off your skills."

Yu Chi Baolin, who didn't know what to do, also coaxed on the side.

"Don't be in a hurry, this immortal will take a look at it." Shan Zhuokun first smiled and waved his hand to the ministers, and then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, he closed his eyes and was heartbroken. After a while, after seeing things clearly, Fang opened his eyes again, "Don't worry, the emperor is on the outskirts of the city now." However, he is going out to do something very important this time, so let's not bother. ”

When the ministers heard this, they knew that Shan Zhuokun's words must be extremely effective, and their mood eased again.
