Chapter 168: Void and Grievance (1st Update)

"It's the little brother. The fastest update and the most stable dìng chase novels where to go fast and fast" Li Yuntian knew from Lu Tianxing's reaction that he recognized himself, so he reached out and tore off the fake mustache on his face, and arched his hand to Lu Tianxing with a smile, "I'm really sorry just now, the little brother has the emperor's order, and he really has to do it." ”

"Imperial Order?" Lu Tianxing couldn't help but clench the leather whip in his hand, the expression on his face became very ugly, he tried hard to find Li Yuntian, but he didn't think that Li Yuntian slipped away from his eyes.

Lu Tianxing was sure at this time that Emperor Yongle's edict was on Li Yuntian's body, and his first thought was to snatch the edict from Li Yuntian's body, but there were pro-troops all around, if Li Yuntian shouted that there was an edict on his body, those pro-troops would definitely stop him.

"Brother Li, there is still official business in the future, and there will be a period later." Lu Tianxing knew that things were going bad, and now no one knew about Li Yuntian's coming to the capital, once Li Yuntian entered the palace, the crown prince would immediately ascend the throne, so he forced a smile at Li Yuntian and arched his hand, turned around and wanted to leave, and rushed to report to Zhu Zhanqi.

"Brother Lu, since you're here, why rush to leave, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and my little brother has a lot to say to you." How could Li Yuntian not know Lu Tianxing's intentions, and walked up to block his way, and said with a smile.

"Brother Li, the military order is like a mountain, another day the foolish brother will hold a banquet and drink with the elder brother." Lu Tianxing laughed dryly, said a perfunctory sentence absentmindedly, and stepped forward to bypass Li Yuntian and leave.

"Brother Lu, do you think it's appropriate to leave now?" Li Yuntian blocked Lu Tianxing sideways again, and looked at him with a smile on his face, "Brother Lu can't be in the Imperial City, right?" ”

Li Yuntian deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "Han", the meaning of which was obvious, naturally referring to Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, and euphemistically and implicitly pointed out that he wanted to report to Zhu Zhanqi.

"Brother Li, what do you mean by this?" Lu Tianxing was exposed by Li Yuntian, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he pretended to look at him calmly, "Brother Fool was ordered to supervise the city defense, how dare he slacken?" ”

"Brother Lu, you can put the matter of supervising the city defense first, now that the world is peaceful, why worry about the matter of city defense?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said quietly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not announce your audience later, according to the younger brother, it is better for Brother Lu to enter the palace and wait, so as not to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time?" ”

"Who wants to see this imperial history?" Lu Tianxing's face suddenly became even more ugly, and before he could speak, a calm voice came from the side, and a man wearing a seventh-grade official uniform followed the two pro-soldiers over.

"Han Yushi, excuse me." Looking at the man who came over, Li Yuntian couldn't help laughing and arched his hand at him. The update is the fastest and most stable

The person who came to guard the imperial history was Li Yuntian's colleague in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Han Liang, the superintendent of Huguang Dao.

"Li Yushi?" Han Liang was taken aback when he saw Li Yuntian, and looked at him with a stunned expression, "You didn't go with the emperor's northern expedition, how did you come back here?" ”

"This official has the emperor's order, so he will take the first step." Li Yuntian's expression became a little gloomy, and he said to Han Liang in a deep voice.

"Since this is the case, then follow the official into the palace." Hearing this, Han Liang knew that Li Yuntian must have something important to do this time, so he hurriedly said.

"Brother Lu, let's go." Li Yuntian made a gesture of invitation to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing's face turned blue and white for a while, his fists clenched so loudly that he knew that he had no chance to escape back to report the news, and after hesitating for a while, he reluctantly walked towards Daming Gate.

"Keep these guys in good hands, and without an edict from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they must not be released, nor can they be allowed to touch anyone, and if they disobey, they will be killed on the spot." Li Yuntian glanced at Lu Tianxing's back, waved his hand and summoned the lieutenant standing on the side, and commanded murderously.

Hearing this, Du Wei showed a look of surprise on his face, and couldn't help but look at Han Liang, Han Liang bowed slightly at him, it was obvious that Li Yuntian would not do this for no reason, not to mention that the prince was also mentioned, there must be some important reason in it.

"Obedience." The lieutenant then bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and led the people to "invite" the guards under Lu Tianxing away.

After entering the East Chang'an Gate, there is a row of corridor rooms on the left side of the corridor, which is the East Thousand Step Corridor, that is, the court room where civil officials rest when they go to court.

Correspondingly, there is also a row of corridors on the right side of the aisle in the West Chang'an Gate, which is the West Thousand Step Corridor, which is the court room where military attaches and nobles rest.

Li Yuntian naturally did not take Lu Tianxing into the palace, he let Lu Tianxing rest in a court room in the East Thousand Step Corridor, and then sent his pro-army to strictly guard Lu Tianxing and put Lu Tianxing under house arrest.

The East Thousand Steps Corridor is just the first stop to enter the palace, after walking through the East Thousand Steps Corridor, Li Yuntian and his party continued to move forward, through the Heavenly Street, that is, Chang'an Street, and came to the front of the Jinshui River.

On the Jinshui River, there are 7 white marble carved stone bridges, namely the Jinshui Bridge, the widest one in the middle is called the "Royal Road Bridge", which is specially designed for the emperor, only the emperor can walk, and if others trespass, it is a great crime of rebellion.

On both sides of the Yulu Bridge is the "Wanggong Bridge" where the prince of the clan passed; The "grade bridge" on the left and right of the Wanggong Bridge is for officials above the third grade to walk; Officials below the fourth grade, soldiers, and husbands can only take the "Gongsheng Bridge".

Li Yuntian was only a civil official of Zhengliupin, and he didn't measure out the edict, so he could only take the Gongsheng Bridge at the very edge.

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge is the Chengtian Gate, the Chengtian Gate has five arched door openings, the middle door hole is the largest, and it is naturally the emperor's special city gate.

Here, Li Yuntian and Lei Ting had to be searched by the palace guards, and since Lei Ting was a girl, Li Yuntian asked the chamberlain to search her body.

The chamberlain did not find anything from Lei Ting's body, but the palace guards found a piece of yellow brocade cloth stacked together and two white silk ribbons from Li Yuntian's body.

For safety, one of the palace guards opened the yellow brocade cloth, and then his face turned pale in an instant, and then he knelt on the ground with a plop, holding the yellow brocade cloth high in both hands, his body trembling, and his face was in cold sweat.

"Once you are in your eyes, keep in mind your heart." Li Yuntian reached out and took the yellow brocade cloth, and quietly admonished the palace guard.

"Humble duty must be remembered." The palace guard hurriedly knelt down at Li Yuntian and replied with a panicked expression.

Then, Li Yuntian stuffed the two white silk ribbons into his arms, held the yellow brocade cloth in his right hand, and followed Han Liang to the Fengtian Gate and walked towards the noon gate due north.

After the noon gate, you can see the Taihe Palace, that is, the palace of the emperor, the "Jinluan Palace" in the mouth of the people.

When Li Yuntian, Lei Ting and Han Liang left Fengtianmen, with a dull creaking sound, the four city gates that were open in Fengtianmen slowly closed, and immediately, a large number of pro-troops boarded the city gate to protect them, putting on a posture as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Who the hell are you?" Lei Ting followed behind Li Yuntian in a daze, she never thought that she would be able to follow Li Yuntian into the palace, when it was almost noon, she could no longer suppress the curiosity in her heart, and asked Li Yuntian in a low voice.

"As I said just now, I am the Imperial Inspector of the Huguang Road of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy." Hearing this, Li Yuntian whispered to Lei Ting, "Don't be afraid, you will follow me later." ”

"Hmm!" Lei Ting bit her lip and nodded her head heavily, her heart was mixed at this time, and her mind was in chaos.

There are also five gates at the noon gate, but it seems to be three from the front, and in fact there are two gates on the left and right, which open on the inside of the east and west city platforms, one facing west and one facing east.

These two gates are called "Tucking Gate", which stretch into the platform to the east and west respectively, and then turn north to go out from the north side of the city.

If you look at it from the back of the noon gate, there are five door openings, and there is a saying of "three bright and five dark".

The main gate of the noon gate is usually only accessible to the emperor, but the queen can enter once when the emperor is married, and the three people who are the champion, the top eye, and the flower in the palace examination can walk out of this gate once.

At each court meeting, the civil and military officials lined up in a queue according to the civil ministers and military ministers to enter and exit from the two gates of the noon gate.

The two pavilions around the middle gate tower of the noon gate are equipped with bells and drums, when to ring the bell, when to beat the drum are customized: the emperor sacrifices the altar and the temple out of the noon gate ringing the bell; The emperor beats the drum when he worships the Taimiao; When the emperor ascended to the palace and held a ceremony, the bells and drums rang in unison.

Li Yuntian is a civil official, so he can only walk through the left door of the noon gate, and after entering the door of the left door, Li Yuntian stopped in the middle of the doorway, took out the two white silk belts from his arms, handed one to Lei Ting, and tied one in his hand to the black gauze hat on his head.

Han Liang was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt down, Li Yuntian had a white belt on his head, obviously he was here to report the funeral, didn't this mean that Emperor Yongle had died.

Not only Han Liang, but also the pro-soldiers guarding the doorway looked at each other, and then they also put down the weapons in their hands and knelt down.

"The emperor has passed away, and you are now an envoy to pass on the edict, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will respect you for three points, so you can ignore the people you will see later, so that you will not be nervous." Lei Ting looked a little overwhelmed when she saw this, Li Yuntian helped her tie the white silk on her head, then reached out and pressed her arms, and told her in a deep voice.

Lei Ting was stunned when she heard this, looking at Li Yuntian in amazement, her mind was blank, she was shocked by the death of Emperor Yongle, and surprised that she had become an envoy inexplicably.

"Han Yushi, what's wrong? Where is everyone kneeling? At this time, a surprised voice came from behind Li Yuntian, and a man wearing a seventh-grade official robe walked over and asked Han Liang who was kneeling there suspiciously.

Hearing this voice, Li Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly, he already knew who the person was speaking, so he turned around and looked coldly.

Li Zhixian ...... No, Li Yushi, aren't you following the emperor's northern expedition ......" The man who spoke was taken aback when he saw Li Yuntian, and then his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Li Yuntian's white belt wrapped around his black gauze hat with a shocked expression.

"Cui Yushi, this official has the emperor's order, so I can't be polite." Li Yuntian bowed slightly at the man, holding the yellow brocade cloth in his hand, and led Lei Ting to stride away.

Han Liang hurriedly stood up, arched his hand at Cui Yushi, who was standing there, and walked forward quickly, leading Li Yuntian and Lei Ting in front.

"The Emperor...... The emperor died. Cui Yushi came back to his senses after half a sound, and muttered to himself, he was Cui Hui, the former Jiangxi Patrol Imperial Shi, who almost overshadowed Li Yuntian last year.

After serving as the Jiangxi Inspector for a year, Cui Hui naturally wanted to return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve, and this was the first time the two had met since Li Yuntian's case ended. One
