At the end of December of Zhao Jingtai's third year, in recent years, the weather was sunny on this day, and the winter snow had melted a lot. There are many people gathered at the gate of the imperial city of Yueqi, there are peasants dressed in burlap clothes, and there are also richly dressed scholars, everyone is looking forward to one thing, that is, the imperial forbidden army that went to Hezhou today is coming back, and it has recently been rumored that the Hezhou Assassin Shi and the Marquis of Yinping are not subject to the new laws of the imperial court, so they want to plot a rebellion, so the imperial court sent troops to suppress it. Some people say that it is all nonsense, have you ever seen a man who only sent 500 men to suppress the rebellion? Besides, if you haven't even sent a big general, then it's definitely not.

Anyway, there are rumors, there are all kinds of templates, and the government did not say what happened, and the government is calm and a little abnormal, and you can see the forbidden army brigade that patrols the street often on weekdays, and there is not one left during this time, so the people near Yueqi City heard that the five hundred forbidden troops were back today, so they went out to take a look at the situation, but these people did not have much commotion, after all, the imperial court has often issued new decrees in the past two years, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Some people just came to see the excitement, but naturally some people were not, and I saw a man in a servant-like robe standing in the crowd, staring closely at the road in the distance.

The sun had risen in the middle of the sky, and some people were getting impatient and wanted to leave, when the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. "It's coming," suddenly shouted from the crowd.

I saw that the neat black iron war horse raised the muddy water and quickly ran towards this side, and the leader was Pu Xianyu, who was the guard of the Taiwei Mansion. Pu Xianyu shouted on the horse: "Imperial edict, idlers retreat!" After saying that, the horse had come to the city gate, and the people who saw the excitement hurriedly ran away on both sides, and five hundred iron horses rode into the city, and went straight to the Taiwei's mansion.

The people in the crowd dressed as servants also left in a hurry, and the rest of the people asked each other, "Do you see that those people have arrested anyone?" ”

"How do I know, I'm not in Hezhou." The questionee replied angrily.

"I didn't ask you this, I mean, did any of those armorers bring different people?"

"I don't see it clearly, it doesn't seem to be." This time, the questioner's tone was much better.

"I see, this court is also making a new law for our people to take a look, don't you think those old nobles are good if they break the law." A man in the crowd dressed as a scholar in a white robe said.

The peasant next to him glanced at the man and asked, "Do you know what these armorers are doing?" ”

"That's," said the white-robed scholar with his head held up proudly, "there's nothing in this world that I don't know." ”

The white-robed scholar then told him about the taxation of Hezhou, and the peasants only sighed when they heard it, and they couldn't help but have doubts about the laws made by the imperial court recently, and some of them even said angrily: "Sure enough, every emperor is like that, and he can't be punished by a doctor. ”

An old man heard it and said: "Hou Sheng, don't talk nonsense, the government has been treating me well recently, but it has suppressed a lot of those nobles, I think the emperor and Lord Taiwei must have their reasons for doing this, it is impossible to just let this black-armored iron rider go out once, do you know that this black-armored iron horse is the emperor's guard, how can he go out easily, and I saw that the leader is the general next to the Taiwei, and they often come out to patrol together." ”

Hearing the old man's words, the young people pouted, and finally didn't say anything more, and the crowd began to disperse slowly.

Pu Xianyu quickly went to the door of the Taiwei Mansion and grabbed the reins, and without waiting for the horse to stop, he jumped off the horse, strode to the door, pulled the knocker, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the door, and the old housekeeper opened the door.

"Lord Taiwei can be in the house?" Pu Xianyu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I just came back from the palace, in the study, General Pu is coming in."

Pu Xianyu turned around and asked those armor soldiers to rest in the courtyard temporarily, and followed the old housekeeper straight to the courtyard.

Uncle Yang leaned on the bookshelf, he went to the emperor to discuss some new laws to be promulgated during spring ploughing, and he had just returned to the mansion, and he hadn't even had time to drink a sip of water.

Pu Xianyu walked into the study and bowed.

Uncle Yang got up and said, "I'm back, how is it?" ”

"My lord, everything is normal in Hezhou, there was no commotion, but when I arrived at the gate of the imperial city, I don't know who leaked the news, and many people came to see the excitement, and the last general even faintly heard that someone knew very well what was going on, and was telling the people who didn't know about it. The last general was afraid that something else would happen, so he didn't go to the palace yet, so he came directly to the adult. ”

Uncle Yang was silent after hearing this, and was silent for a long time before saying: "You go to the palace first, see what the emperor says, this news will definitely spread, as long as you do it, others will definitely know, go, I'll think about countermeasures." ”

Pu Xianyu exited the study, and the old housekeeper sent them out.

Uncle Yang looked at the bookshelf, stood quietly, did not move for a long time, the old housekeeper came in softly and added a little firewood to the brazier, and went out to bring a ding of mutton soup and some dough cakes, and said softly: "Sir, eat some food, I just came back after going out in the morning, and I didn't eat a bite." ”

Uncle Yang sighed and meditated in his heart: "Who is this poisonous plan?" Put the house on the fire and roast it. ”

Uncle Yang quickly ate a piece of bread with mutton soup, and hurriedly asked the old housekeeper to prepare the carriage, and he wanted to enter the palace to discuss with the emperor.

The old housekeeper looked at Uncle Yang in a hurry, although he didn't know what was going on, but it would not be a trivial matter to make the always calm and steady Lord Taiwei so anxious, he hurriedly prepared the carriage and watched Uncle Yang leave the house before returning to the study to pack up the kitchen utensils.

Uncle Yang sat in the carriage and urged the soldiers who were driving the carriage to go faster.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Uncle Yang jumped off the carriage, scaring the armor if it was like him, but this master does not know martial arts, he was just about to help Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang had already picked up his robe with one hand and strode straight into the door.

Huan Ji didn't expect such a thing to happen again, he had already planned to deal with it quietly, and no one knew about it, but now it seems impossible.

Suddenly, Chenghe came to report that Uncle Yang had come to see him, and Xuanzong hurriedly asked him to bring him in.

Uncle Yang walked in, beads of sweat on his head, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Huan Ji.

"Sir, too?"

"Your Majesty, Pu Xianyu came to my house first and told me, this matter is not easy to deal with, the minister knows that the emperor wants to save a little face for them, but ......"
