Ji Qingwen accompanied Li Yan for a day today, he was already exhausted, so tired that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and when he heard the person outside the door call his name, he didn't pay any attention to etiquette, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he asked, "Who are you?" In the middle of the night, knock on the door? ”

The man asked again, "Are you Ji Qingwen?" ”

"Yes and what? Isn't it? Ji Qingwen pushed his question back.

The man outside the door said coldly: "If you are Ji Qingwen, then quickly open the door and come with me; If not, open the door for me to check. ”

Ji Qingwen was angered by these unceremonious words from the person outside the door, and blurted out: "Fart, Lao Tzu ......"

But he suddenly thought that he was now in the Jingshi of the Longtan Tiger's Den, and if he said something wrong, he might cause trouble, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You tell me who you are first, otherwise I will never open the door." What if it's a robber who comes over to rob the property? ”

The man outside the door said: "This is the Jingshi, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the area of the first good, where are the robbers from?" I'm Li Yuanyin, the commander of Jinyiwei, open the door quickly! ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sat up from the bed, but saw that Li Yan on the bed next to him had also straightened his waist, looking at himself with a vigilant expression on his face, and his eyes seemed to ask: "Jinyiwei?" Why is it Jinyiwei again? This Li Yuanyin is ......"

Ji Qingwen looked at Li Yan for a moment, and while tiptoeing off the bed, he asked, "Li Yuanyin?" Are you the Li Yuanyin who talked to me in Fucheng Station? ”

As soon as his voice fell, there was a "haha" laugh outside the door: "Although Ji Gongzi is smart, but after all, the rivers and lakes are inexperienced, although you didn't answer positively, but just now, didn't you already admit that you are Ji Qingwen?" ”

The man laughed twice more and answered Ji Qingwen's question: "That's right, it's Li Yuanyin below, then please open the door." ”

Ji Qingwen remembered that this Li Yuanyin was not an extremely vicious character, and he had helped himself exonerate himself in front of Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, so he still had a good impression of him, so he whispered to Li Yan: "Brother Li, this Li Yuanyin is not a bad person, or we will open the door?" ”

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Since it was Jinyiwei who came to handle the case, if we don't open the door, they will also break in, so let's open the door and let him in." With that, Li Yan got off the bed and fumbled to light a few more lamps and candles to illuminate the room.

So Ji Qingwen relied on the light and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Li Yuanyin's rather handsome face, so he smiled and said, "Sure enough, Commander Li is here." I don't know what can happen when you come to me in the middle of the night? Could it be a bully who came to me to talk to relieve boredom? ”

Li Yuanyin didn't answer, turned to a few people around him and said, "You wait outside the door, don't come in." With that, he stepped into Ji Qingwen and Li Yan's room, and closed the door from the inside.

Ji Qingwen saw that he looked cautious and mysterious, and expected that he must have something important, so he asked, "Master Li, what is the matter with you, please tell me clearly." ”

Li Yuanyin put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "The lower official came here to invite Ji Gongzi to go somewhere. ”

"Go...... Go...... Where to go? What to do...... What the. As soon as he heard that it was Jinyiwei who was going to take him away, Ji Qingwen immediately panicked and stammered when he spoke, "Don't ...... Don't be an edict, right? ”

Li Yuanyin said: "Master Ji, don't ask where you are going, just follow me." ”

Of course, Ji Qingwen refused to follow Li Yuanyin like this, and asked, "I'm not leaving, you tell me where you want to take me first." I didn't commit a crime, so why should I go to prison? ”

Li Yuanyin said: "Master Ji, please rest assured. I was ordered to ask Ji Gongzi to take a trip, where to go, it's not something I can say, but I dare to promise that I will never go to the edict. Please rest assured. ”

Li Yuanyin's words were vague, and he couldn't convince Ji Qingwen.

But Li Yan heard the sound outside the strings, and asked tentatively: "What Master Li just said, was he ordered to 'invite' Brother Ji?" He deliberately added an accent to the word 'please'.

Li Yuanyin nodded quietly and said, "I'm just a person who does things, and some things are inconvenient to say." In short, under the power and responsibility of the lower officials, Ji Gongzi will not be allowed to suffer. Childe, please rest assured to go. ”

Ji Qingwen still couldn't believe him, but Li Yan persuaded him: "Brother Ji, I don't think there is any big problem with this trip, you can follow Master Li with peace of mind." I got up and went to the Shaanxi Hall to discuss with Duo Jiugong and others, and naturally there was a way to deal with it outside. ”

With just these few words, Ji Qingwen has already figured it out - after all, it is Jinyi Wei who takes people, and if he disobeys their orders, it will be tantamount to rebellion, and this Li Yuanyin is quite polite, it doesn't seem like he is here to embarrass himself.

So Ji Qingwen had no choice but to sigh and say, "Then you can only resign yourself to fate, let's go with Lord Li Yuanyin." ”

Li Yuanyin listened, hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, led Ji Qingwen out of the door, went down the stairs, and left the Liansheng Inn.

After walking a few steps, Li Yuanyin pointed to a sedan chair parked on the road and said, "Ji Gongzi, please sit on the sedan chair, and I will carry you to walk." ”

Ji Qingwen nodded and got into the sedan chair.

But unexpectedly, this sedan chair is very small, only enough for him to sit alone, and except for a sedan curtain in front of the door, there are no windows on three sides, fortunately it is winter, otherwise if it is summer, he will have to get sick.

He was observing, and the sedan chair suddenly flickered, made a circle in place, and walked forward.

During the shaking, Ji Qingwen wanted to open the sedan curtain several times to see where he was, but the nervousness, uneasiness and fear still made him barely suppress his curiosity, and with a worried heart, he was shaken up and down in the sedan chair.

I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how many roads I walked, the small sedan finally stopped, and Li Yuanyin's voice came from outside the sedan chair: "Ji Gongzi, it's time to get off the place, please get off the sedan chair." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain.

Ji Qingwen hurriedly got out of the sedan chair and looked around, but there was a dark patch all around, and he couldn't see where he was at all.

But seeing Li Yuanyin take a step forward, he raised his hand and knocked a few times in front of a door, and said: "Jinyi Wei commanded Li Yuanyin, and he was ordered to take Ji Qingwen into the palace." Now that Ji Qingwen is outside the palace, please open the door and let him go. ”

Ordered? Whose order is it? Is it the decree of the emperor today?

Entering the palace? Which palace did you enter? Is it the Forbidden City at the heart of the world?

Ji Qingwen hurriedly asked: "Lord Li, could it be that the emperor wants to summon me?" ”

Li Yuanyin didn't look back, and said: "Ji Gongzi, we are going to enter the palace, don't talk nonsense, don't walk nonsense, otherwise the disaster will not spin, you know?" ”

Although Ji Qingwen traveled from the later generations, he also knew the exquisiteness of it, so he quickly shut his mouth.

As he was talking, the palace door was opened, and a gap that would be enough for a person to enter and exit, Li Yuanyin led Ji Qingwen through the crack in the door, and came to the palace where the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme lived the palace.

Eight or nine men dressed as eunuchs were waiting at the door, holding lanterns, slightly dispelling some of the darkness in front of them.

One of them checked the identities of Li Yuanyin and Ji Qingwen, searched Ji Qingwen's body again, and saw that he didn't have any weapons hidden on his body, so he said in a sharp and hoarse voice: "Okay." The emperor is now in the Qianqing Palace, talking to the two adults, waiting for you. Please go with the miscellaneous family. So saying, he stepped forward.

When Ji Qingwen heard the word "emperor", his feet were so shocked that his feet softened - he didn't expect that he was about to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty just over half a year after he crossed over, and this emperor was not an ordinary emperor, but a rare Chongzhen Emperor in Chinese history who "was not the king of the country but died of the country".

At this point, Ji Qingwen's mind was blank, and the whole person was like a marionette, mechanically walking through the dark Forbidden City behind Li Yuanyin and the eunuch who led the way.

I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how many turns he turned, Ji Qingwen finally stopped, and remembered the voice of the highly recognizable eunuch in his ears: "Two masters, the Qianqing Palace has arrived, and the long live master is inside, please wait here for the two masters." The miscellaneous family will go and report it. ”
