014 bothered to steal the edict to get rid of the adulterous appearance, and it was difficult to return to heaven if the edict was lost
However, Wu Ming just stood stupidly for a short time before he came to his senses. He remembered that he had one more important thing, and that was - to find his way.
It is said that today's emperor dictated to let him enter the palace, which is a great honor. The only misfortune was that the little eunuch who passed the decree was lazy, took him into the palace gate and left, and let him go to the Heart Cultivation Hall by himself. At first, he walked forward in high spirits, but as the houses around him remained unchanged and became more and more sparsely populated, he finally realized that he was lost.
"Alas! I knew I wouldn't have talked nonsense just now. The next time you meet someone, just ask for directions. Wu Ming complained as he walked, "And what's the matter with Shao An, before he came to ask him for directions, he slipped away." ”
Suddenly, a eunuch rushed over, and Wu Mingding looked at it and was happy. This man is the eunuch who sent the message.
"General, why are you here? The Heart Cultivation Hall is over there. The little eunuch who delivered the decree was full of anxiety, and he was about to cry. He was just too lazy to lead the way, and he didn't expect to alarm Gonggong Chen. And Gonggong Chen scolded him and told him to find General Wu.
The little eunuch was so frightened that he was about to faint, and hurriedly turned the palace upside down, and finally found the uncle, but the uncle said to him with an innocent face: "Lost." ”
But this can't be blamed on Wu Ming, although it is not the first time he has entered the palace, but the scene in the palace is sometimes magnificent, sometimes winding paths, even if he enters hundreds of times, he still can't remember the way.
The little eunuch had lost his temper, and said with a sad face: "General, this emperor has summoned, hurry up." ”
Wu Ming still walked calmly, and chatted with the little eunuch as he walked, "I met Master Shao just now. Do you know him? ”
"Yes. The champion of the new department, the new upstart of the imperial court. The little eunuch glanced at him with a very disdainful expression, "But the character is not good." ”
"Really?" Wu Ming was puzzled, he felt that Shao An was fine, but General Gao had told him not to contact Shao An since the fight that day. In recent days, rumors have spread about the impeachment of the prime minister, and he has also heard about the words of the minister of the DPRK and the central government scolding Shao An.
"I don't think he's what you say he is." Wu Ming still believed in his feelings, and said disapprerovingly, "You say that about him, do you know him?" ”
"The slave has only met a few times, how can he know each other? However, Gonggong Chen treats Master Shao very favorably. ”
"Who is Grandpa Chen?"
The little eunuch looked terrified, as if looking at a monster coming out of the deep mountains and old forests, and said incredulously: "Even Gonggong Chen doesn't know? He is a celebrity around the emperor, he has been following the emperor, and he grew up watching the emperor. ”
Wu Ming suddenly realized, "He is a close confidant of the emperor, I understand." ”
The little eunuch finally brought Wu Ming to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the task was completed, and he could breathe a sigh of relief. And Wu Ming really felt a little nervous at this time.
After the army returned to the court, Wu Ming also met the emperor a few times, but they were all with General Gao. This is the first time that I have been summoned separately like today. Wu Ming was apprehensive and excited in his heart, took a few deep breaths to calm his turbulent heart, and then walked into the hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as he entered the door, Wu Ming immediately learned the appearance of the ministers kneeling down to the court, prostrate on the ground, and kowtowed three heads with "dong dong dong".
"Flat." Seeing that Wu Ming was a little restrained, the emperor smiled and said, "In the future, when you see me in private, you don't need to make a big bow, just pause." ”
"Yes." Wu Ming got up and looked up to see the emperor smiling and looking at himself, so he was not so nervous.
Before the emperor ascended the throne, Wu Ming was the hidden guard of King An's mansion, and he was the emperor's most trusted person. In the past, in the palace, he and Shao An were the right-hand men of the emperor's side.
Now after several twists and turns, the children of that year are standing in front of their eyes again. The emperor looked at Wu Ming kindly, at the age of twenty-two, he was more than eight feet tall and looked burly and strong; Because he had been in the border camp for a long time, the wind and sand blew his face more and more resolute.
"Hong Yi." The emperor, like Shao An, prefers to call his cousin, "I have been back in Beijing for more than a month, but I am still used to it?" ”
"It's ok. Chang'an is naturally a hundred times stronger than the border pass, but the last general misses the brothers in the border pass a little bit and wants to drink with them. Wu Mingle said happily. For some reason, since the first time he saw the saint, he had a sense of familiarity and intimacy, so he did not have the restraint of other people's face-to-face saints.
The emperor sighed, although Wu Ming said that he had lost his memory, his bold personality really did not change at all. He used to make friends when he was in the palace, and it seems that he still does the same.
"Oh? Who is it that told Gao Zizhong that he would be transferred to the forbidden army? ”
Wu Ming scratched his head and joked: "Then what is it, I'm afraid that with this tune, there will be no one at the border." ”
The emperor smiled, "It's only been a few days since the forbidden army went to the border, and you've gotten along with them." ”
Wu Ming also smirked, he saw that the emperor was so amiable, he had already forgotten the initial apprehension.
The emperor adjusted his expression and cut to the chase, "I called you this time because I have a task entrusted to you." Would you like to? ”
"The end will never give up."
"But there's one thing." The emperor emphasized him with a serious expression, "I don't want the rest of the people to know about this matter, including Gao Zizhong. ”
"Ahh Wu Ming was taken aback, but the soldier was loyal by nature and absolutely loyal to the emperor, so he agreed after only thinking for a moment, "The last general will never tell the second person." ”
"Good!" The emperor has always known that Wu Ming is sincere and sincere, and he will never go back on what he promised, so he has special trust in him. After receiving Wu Ming's assurance, the emperor told him about this task.
After listening to the task, Wu Ming was stunned for a long time. This task is extremely unbelievable and extremely difficult.
"Can this be done?" The Emperor asked, "If there is any difficulty, you can raise it." ”
Wu Ming thought about it, how could the emperor hold himself in such high esteem, how could he retreat? Besides, I just said that I would never give up. So he patted his chest and said, "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the saint." ”
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, he had always believed that Wu Ming was the best hidden guard by his side, and he was and will be in the future.
※※※※※
A few days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is silence in the prime minister's mansion, and everyone has already fallen asleep. Wu Ming, dressed in black and wearing a black cloth on his face, quietly leaned on the roof of the house, looking down from the bricks and tiles he had taken away.
The room he peeped into was Prime Minister Liao's study. After many days of speculation and analysis, he felt that ordinary people would hide valuables and put them in the study. A few days later, when I came here to snoop, I saw that after Prime Minister Liao returned to his home, he spent most of his time working here, and he thought that the study was more and more suspicious.
This time, Wu Ming made up his mind to come here to find out. When the lights in the house were extinguished, the people closed the door of the study and walked out of the courtyard, then they got off the roof and entered the study through the window.
Drawers, bookcases, and even books were rummaged through, and there was still no ...... While looking for it, Wu Ming greeted the eight generations of Liao Chengxiang's ancestors in his heart. But as time passed, sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and he didn't have the heart to scold.
When the sky was bright, the early riser heard movement in the study and shouted, "Who is there?" ”
Wu Ming secretly said that it was not good, and was about to leave. And the little guy has already walked into the study at this moment. The two met, panicked for a moment, and then the little guy remembered to call someone.
So, under the shouts of "catch the assassin", the noise in the courtyard sounded, and the guards rushed one after another.
But no matter how fast the guards ran, they couldn't go as fast as Wu Ming. I saw Wu Ming looking at the study helplessly, and after sighing, he jumped out of the study, and before the guards arrived, he knocked the little guy unconscious, and fled with light skills. In this series of processes, Wu Ming's actions were completed in one go, without dragging his feet.
When the nurses arrived, there was no one else except for a fainted servant. Just as everyone was looking at each other, Prime Minister Liao Cheng had already heard the sound and came in person.
"Where's the assassin?" Prime Minister Liao asked angrily. The people below were submissive and did not dare to squeak.
Prime Minister Liao asked again: "Is anyone injured?" ”
"A little guy was knocked unconscious."
When Prime Minister Liao saw that the little guy had fainted in the study, he had a bad heart and hurriedly dismissed everyone. When the guards retreated, he went straight to his desk, wrestled the bracket, and opened the secret compartment. Inside the compartment were several letters, several books, and a scroll of holy decrees.
That holy decree is self-evident, it is the edict of the first emperor and the king of Jin.
Prime Minister Liao took out the holy decree, unfolded it and reread it again, and after seeing that it was correct, a hanging heart finally let go. Just as he was about to put the edict back in its place, he suddenly felt that there was a flower in front of him, and his hand was empty, and the edict was actually snatched away.
And the one who can do such an earth-shattering thing to cry ghosts and gods is naturally Wu Ming, who has gone and returned.
He relied on his martial arts skills and escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion. But halfway through, I suddenly remembered that there was a place that I hadn't found, and my brain was muddy and I actually returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. Coincidentally, I saw that Prime Minister Liao Cheng was checking the edict, so he didn't care about 3721 and just snatched it away.
Prime Minister Liao had never seen such a blatant thief, so he was stunned for a moment and immediately called loudly. Fortunately, the guards had just left, and they hadn't gone far. This time the work was extremely efficient, and Wu Ming was stopped in the courtyard.
"Bold, who trespassed into the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
At a glance, the courtyard was surrounded by guards inside and outside, and ordinary people could not escape. Wu Ming relied on his martial arts to knock down several guards, and everyone was afraid of the fierceness of his moves, and unconsciously vacated an area around Wu Ming, but they just surrounded him and did not attack.
Wu Ming scratched his head, it was not a way to go on like this. He looked left and right, and saw that there was a candle not far away, so he snatched the candle, lit the holy decree, and burned it directly.
The guards didn't know what he was holding in his hand, and when they were puzzled by his behavior, Prime Minister Liao Cheng, who was watching from a distance, was angry and anxious, his white beard trembled, and hurriedly shouted: "Extinguish the fire!" Extinguish the fire! "It dawned on everyone that that thing was the point.
Unfortunately, the fire is growing, and the decree is almost turning to ashes. Wu Ming shook his head, expressing sympathy for the guards who hurriedly ran over, holding their clothes and throwing themselves into the flames. Then I saw that the encirclement had already been messed up, and if I didn't leave at this time, when would I wait? took the opportunity to perform light skills and escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
Mission accomplished!
Prime Minister Liao's talisman was burned, knowing that it was the emperor's hand, but he was dumb and ate coptis. Now his arrogance has been suppressed a lot. Although many ministers in the DPRK and China were very puzzled by the Prime Minister's restraint, the Prime Minister was able to stop and no longer fight against the same party, and the court finally returned to peace.
And so it went on day after day...... Winter goes to spring solstice, and there is nothing to do in one season.
