The imperial city of Dong'anmen.

Although it has reached late autumn, the sun is shining in the capital for several days, and it is still not very comfortable to stand under the sun at noon. This month, it was the Yulin avant-garde who was on duty, and the people who were standing at the gate of Dong'an at this time couldn't help but envy the colleagues who were on duty at the red shop at night. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was passing by, several acquaintances even joked in a low voice, until they saw a group of people coming along Dong'anmen Avenue from a distance, and they hurriedly shut up, showing solemn expressions one by one.

However, when the people approached, they who thought they were nobles or officials were relieved, and their standing posture was not so straight, and the hundred households led by them recognized one of the chamberlains, and asked with a smile: "Father-in-law Qin, which family did you go to send the fruit this time?" ”

"This is given by the emperor to the three cabinets of the cabinet. Before, there were only ten loads sent to the palace from outside, but now they are almost all gone. The father-in-law of Qin stretched out his hand and beckoned the little fireman who lowered his head to go inside, rubbed his shoulders there and said, "I have sent it for several days in a row, a moment of grapes, a moment of persimmons, a moment of oranges, from the princes and uncles to the elders of the pavilion, they don't need to prepare fresh fruits for a while." However, for a country with a large population like Baoguo Gong and Dingguo Gong, a basket of fruits is not enough to divide ......."

He was talking endlessly, but the little fire man under him had already entered Dong'anmen, and a few guards were listening to the waiter talking about the privacy of each family, while casually looking at the same lotus leaf head ebony card. It wasn't until this group of people passed that the waiter took out a tooth card and shook it at everyone, and the leading Baihu suddenly laughed.

"Father-in-law Qin doesn't need this brand to go in and out. Who doesn't know that Gonggong Qin has just been promoted to the internal official and supervises the emperor, and the ebony card has been replaced with such a good thing as ivory, so there is no need to show off with us bitter haha, right? ”

"What is there to show off, when will we be able to mix up like our father-in-law Liu, so that the emperor can hang his name on his lips all day long, then it is not too late to be proud!" Saying this, the father-in-law Qin let a few guards come up and looked at the slightly wide side of his hand at the bottom, and the round tooth card on the top, but when someone stretched out his hand to touch it, he swept it away angrily, and then smiled and said, "Okay, it's not early, I have to hurry back to the inner official prison to pay the order to Gonggong Liu, and then go back to play with you!" ”

"Father-in-law Qin, go slowly!"

The hundred households hurriedly replied with a smile, and the rest of the guards echoed, seeing that the group went to the Dong'an Li Gate inside, and others inquired about the details of this Qin Gonggong, so he sighed and said: "It's really good luck, the last time I was on duty, he was just a Langxia family promise, because of his strength and strength, he chose to carry the sedan chair, and somehow climbed up to the hot Liu Gonggong...... Tsk, this is luck, it's only been a few years, and the ebony card of the lotus leaf head has been replaced with a tooth card......"

However, Gonggong Qin, who had the best luck among these guards, did not have the leisure he had just now when he arrived at Dong'anli Gate. Just in front of him, someone in that group was found to be a fake ebony card!

Although he was already in a cold sweat, he had to step forward at this time, and he opened his mouth to say a prevarication and cover up, but the leading officer glared back coldly, and he suddenly remembered that just a few days ago, the little emperor asked the avant-garde of the government army to select three hundred guards with knives to guard the Donghua Gate, the Xihua Gate, the Wumen Gate and the Xuanwu Gate, but unexpectedly, even this Dong'anli Gate has been replaced by this group of young but meticulous teenagers.

Thinking that these people should have just arrived here to be on duty, and they should not be familiar with the ebony cards and tooth cards that are common in the palace, Gonggong Qin naturally held a trace of luck, and hurriedly smiled at the leading little general flag: "This little brother, he is the one who went to Li Ge's hometown with me to deliver fruits, and this ebony card was also brought out, so it is a little different from the old one......

"Just got it? Something different from the old one? Xiao Zongqi, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, took the ebony sign upside down and looked at it for a while, and suddenly changed color and said, "Come on, stop all these people!" ”

Seeing that the little general banner gave an order, and the young soldiers below came forward with a brush, surrounding their group of seven or eight people tightly, Father-in-law Qin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted almost without thinking: "It's just a little thing, why should adults be so serious?" I am a person under the internal official eunuch Liu Gonggong, and I also ask the adults to make it convenient! ”

"I'm just a general flag, I can't afford you to be called an adult, but I won't carry a black pot for no reason!" The little general flag raised his hand, and the ebony card in his hand was dark and dull in the sun, and the words on it were not clear, "Although I have only been in Dong'anli Gate for a few days, Lord Qian and Ma Qianhu have already deliberately asked the old men in the palace to say the rules." The number of the inner characters on this ebony plaque represents the person's position in the palace. He said that it was from the internal official supervisor, but the ebony sign had the inner character 368 number written on it, but it was clearly the number of the drum room! Also, the weight of this ebony card is not right, and the paint color on it is not right, do you dare to quibble? Even if you are Gonggong Liu's person, no one can do anything about forging the ebony card that passes in the palace! ”

Speaking of this in one breath, the little general flag was full of mouths, and immediately two young soldiers with sabers stepped forward, one left and one right, and stretched out their hands to take the ebony card and check out the fake little fire. However, the little fireman forty miles away took two steps back at this juncture, and then shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the villain risked death to enter the palace, just to play the matter of the mother of the country being secluded!" The Zhang family has two marquises, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but in fact, they are really pretending to be royal relatives. Poor mother Zheng Niangniang worked hard to give birth to Lin'er, but now not only can she not see the face of the emperor, but she is also ...... by the secluded Huanyi Bureau"

As soon as he shouted, he shouted that the mother of the country was living in seclusion, and everyone present was dumbfounded for a while, even Gonggong Qin, who knew that he had brought such a person into the palace to take on a big role, was dumbfounded. When he said about the Huanyi Bureau, the little general flag finally woke up, and an arrow step on his cheek was a big ear scraper, only to hear a loud snap, the little fire man who spoke was slapped to the ground, and there were two big teeth that landed together.

Seeing that when he fell to the ground, he was still vaguely shouting something, Xiao Zongqi grabbed the saber and used the handle of the knife to smash it on his mouth for a while, seeing that the flesh and blood on his mouth were blurred, he just tore a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes with a lingering heart, and blocked the person's mouth indiscriminately, then he glanced around and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, since you already know that this person has entered Dong'anmen without permission, then these people have the crime of knowing and not reporting, and they have not taken all of them?" ”

Hearing this shout, the people below woke up like a dream, and rushed forward one by one, and it wasn't until the two of them twisted their arms one left and one right that he only felt a loud bang in his head, and suddenly realized how big a hornet's nest he had stabbed this time, and his face was almost as white as paper.

He shouldn't have been blackmailed for that little mistake in the past, and he didn't accept the benefits of the five hundred taels, so he believed that this guy just wanted to enter the palace to visit his daughter in the Huanyi Bureau, and took the risk of bringing people into the palace!

Because the matter was not trivial, this farce in Dong'anlimen was reported to Zhu Houzhao as soon as possible. The little emperor was racking his brains to weave a gnather cage with gold wire, planning to load a gnather cage that he had just caught in Qiongyuan to relieve the Empress Dowager Zhang's fatigue, and by the way, he used the remaining gold wire to weave a gadget to coax Zhou Qiniang, and when he heard that the previous Zheng Wang pretended to be the emperor's family case was actually re-turned over in this way, he was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled, and he threw the golden cage that was so easy to make up more than half of it to the ground, and then shouted angrily: "Bastard thing, how did this kind of person let him get into Dong'anmen!" ”

Liu Jin stole a glance at Gu Dayong, who was silent next to him, and scolded Qin Shan under his hand in his heart, but everything came out, and he had to bite the bullet and say: "The emperor is angry, it was the defenders of Dong'anmen who neglected their duties, and actually let the annihilators with forged ebony cards get by." ”

"Dereliction of duty? Dong'anmen is the first pass of the palace gate, and it is simply ...... for someone to dare to neglect their duties in such a place" Zhu Houzhao was suddenly stuck, and only after a while did he scold angrily, "The corpse is a vegetarian meal, and I ate my food for nothing!" Someone came, spread my will, and the defenders on duty on Dong'an Gate were all taken down and exiled to Liaodong...... No, they were exiled to Hami, I want to see if they dare to neglect their duties there! ”

Knowing that this kind of decree issued without the cabinet would cause an uproar, but the emperor was angry, and Liu Jin couldn't wait to send all the characters who might involve him as soon as possible, so he didn't say a word. On the contrary, Gu Dayong felt that this was more troublesome, so he had to remind softly: "Your Majesty, these people are all soldiers of Jingwei, and it is not too late to send them out." The most urgent task at the moment is to first judge the person who fabricated the false lies. ”

"You're right! Escort people to Zuoshunmen, I will interrogate them personally! ”

Hearing this, both Liu Jin and Gu Dayong couldn't help but panic. I think that when Emperor Hongzhi personally interrogated Zheng Wang, there was already an uproar, and now the little emperor has just ascended the throne and has caused the same trouble, if this is a personal trial, I don't know what kind of rumors will be led to outside-for Gu Dayong, this matter is a good opportunity for him to personally intervene and snatch the power of investigation from Dongchang and Jinyiwei; And for Liu Jin, letting the little emperor find out that the fool who brought people into the palace was pulled up by himself, that plan would ruin his good image of hard work.

For a while, the two of them hugged Zhu Houzhao's left leg and Zhu Houzhao's right leg, and they stubbornly stopped the little emperor from letting him out, and persuaded them vigorously. Just when Zhu Houzhao was thunderous, Rayson's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Pingbei Bo heard that something happened in the palace and asked to see him at Donghua Gate."
