Chapter 400: Sudden Test Mission
The early dynasties in the first month are scattered early.
The Ministry of Rites really reported today the preparations for the sacrifice to the god of agriculture on the Qinglong Festival.
The sacrifice to the god of agriculture is considered a middle sacrifice, which is not as complicated as the big sacrifice, and the emperor does not have to live outside the palace a day in advance. But it has two special features, one is that there are female dependents involved, and civil and military officials will stand far away in order to avoid it.
Another is that the emperor and the queen should pretend to plow the farmland under the first agricultural altar, representing the emperor's attention to farming, and the emperor and queen should set an example.
These two items make the guards not only control a large place, but also have to transfer the venue halfway, which is the most prone to loopholes.
Even if Hua Qiao doesn't talk about it, Hu Yanjin and Zhang Yue will also think of taking advantage of this day, because such opportunities are rare.
However, Hua Qiao said it first, and Hu Yanjin didn't know how happy he was, which meant that Hua Qiao didn't wash her face with tears and blindly cry stupidly, and had already begun to think of a way.
It also means that she wants to go with him.
When the dynasty was dispersed, Hu Yanjin and Xu Zhijin were walking out, and at the door of the main hall, a tall and thin official was waiting outside the door respectfully, as if he was waiting for everyone to leave before he went in.
"Yan Jiu, why are you here?"
Hu Yanjin hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was very happy to see him suddenly.
The little official raised his head and saw that it was Hu Yanjin, and hurriedly smiled and bowed:
"Lord Huyan is well! The James Mansion received the news from Nanjing and hurriedly sent it to the emperor. ”
Yan Jiu was originally in charge of raising pigeons in the Jamesburg Mansion, and Hu Yanjin had been a Jamesburg Jamesburg for a year, and he was also very familiar with him.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the prince's mansion was vacant, and the officials of the James Mansion were retained, but there was nothing to do.
Occasionally, when the emperor has something to order, it is like receiving a reward, running faster than anyone else.
"News from Nanjing? In a hurry? Then you hurry in. ”
"It's urgent, it's not at this moment, it's sent by Lord Xiao Yanxiao, the emperor has urged it several times, but we can't do it, can we still fly with pigeons? Harm! Look at my mouth, what are you talking about? My lord, I'll go in first. ”
Xiao Yan disappeared for twenty days, it turned out that he went to Nanjing?
"Didn't you hear the emperor say that there was something wrong in Nanjing? And it's urgent......"
Xiao Yan seems to be missing after the Zhengdan sacrifice, what happened at that time? Hu Yanjin and Xu Zhijin glanced at each other.
Xu Zhijin suddenly said: "It doesn't have to be an accident in Nanjing, maybe, he just went back to Nanjing to pass on the book?" ”
Hu Yanjin nodded in agreement, and he smiled: "Guess what?" Isn't Zhang Yue in it? He is now in charge of the Beizhen Fusi Prison, what is the matter, can the emperor hide it from him? ”
He said it easily, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. He was waiting anxiously in the house, and he didn't wait for Zhang Yue, but waited for the emperor's edict.
The father-in-law who delivered the decree was still Zhou Zheng Zhou's father-in-law, who usually came, but there were four more accompanying guards.
"Father-in-law Zhou, why do you need someone to escort you now?"
"Huh...... It's like this in the future, adults don't be surprised, the new year has a new atmosphere. ”
Gonggong Zhou explained with a smile, but there was nothing to shy away from, he made a "please" gesture, and Hu Yanjin had no choice but to follow them to the palace.
When entering the palace gate, according to the convention, the hundred officials had to put down their weapons, so Hu Yanjin didn't even bring a soft whip.
But during today's routine inspection, Gonggong Zhou said something more seemingly casually: "Lord Huyan is more special, and the weapon is actually a whip." ”
The Praetorian had already stopped, but when he heard this, he touched his arms again.
Hu Yanjin knew that something was wrong, and he didn't know if he could come out after entering the palace. If you fight out immediately, these guards can't stop you, but the situation is unknown, will it be self-defeating?
What's more, the buckwheat is still in the palace.
Hu Yanjin smiled: "It's not the first day to enter the palace, how can anyone who doesn't know the rules?" ”
It's not that he didn't have a weapon, Zhang Yue knew about this weapon, the emperor didn't know, and now Gonggong Zhou only mentioned the "whip", and he didn't know that when he checked it, there was a hidden blade like a hidden blade on his body.
Gonggong Zhou glanced at him meaningfully, and led him to Wuying Hall with a smile on his face.
"Huyan! You're here, I have an urgent matter, and it's best for you to do it. ”
The emperor's face was as usual, and he couldn't see any clues.
Hu Yanjin hugged his fists and said: "Although the emperor commands, the minister, he will never give up." ”
The emperor nodded, picked up the note on the dragon case, glanced at it again, and said slowly:
"One thing, you may not know, I sent someone to check Mr. Wu of Wangnan Academy in Baoying County, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be Yang Neng, the former minister who fled with Emperor Jianwen. Under the pseudonym Wu Ren, he deceived us. ”
"Mr. Wu? Since I knew him, I only knew that he was Mr. Wu, but I didn't know that he still had this identity. ”
Hu Yanjin was calm on the surface, but his heart was fluctuating: How could he check on Mr. Wu?
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, before you can remember, he has changed his name to 'Wu Ren', and he has been living in seclusion for several years." That's why you don't know about it.
Now that Yang Neng is still in Baoying County, my people have already gone to find other remnants, and he will hand it over to you to deal with, you have a special identity, try to get more useful information from his mouth.
Then, quietly kill him. ”
Hu Yanjin felt a chill on the top of his head: Where did the emperor let him do things? This is clearly to test him.
Mr. Wu is eighty years old, who goes, is it not easy to solve? I want to go all the way to this trip by myself!
"I wonder when the emperor's important ministers will leave?"
"Let's go now, go to Baoying first, maybe, you have to rush to the next stop and join Xiao Yan. Zhang Yue, you dial ten Jinyi guards and listen to the command of Lord Huyan. ”
Since Hu Yanjin walked into the hall, he stood side by side with Zhang Yue, and the emperor looked at them and couldn't even exchange glances.
But he could feel that Zhang Yue's back was tight, revealing rare tension.
"Huyan, you stand down, I have other things to discuss with Zhang Yue, and the ten brocade guards are already waiting for you outside the palace gate. I wish you success and return to court as soon as possible. ”
"Yes."
The emperor didn't plan to let them have a chance to chat privately at all, and, looking at it like this, even these brocade guards didn't have any explanation from Zhang Yue, and they fully carried out the emperor's orders.
Immediately set off from the palace gate and could not return to the house, which meant that he could not carry weapons on him.
Afterwards, Haihua will go to inform Hua Qiao that he has gone to Baoying, and it is impossible to return to Beijing on February 2, and their operation must be canceled. But how does this tell the buckwheat?
Can only rely on the heart?
Hu Yanjin didn't dare to stay, and walked out of the Wuying Palace, Gonggong Zhou kept sending him outside the palace gate, and sure enough, the Jinyi guard who escorted him with him was already waiting at the door.
"Lord Huyan, let's go to the dock to take the boat, all the way is done, and your clothes have been delivered to the ship, you can rest assured."
This is the general banner of a brocade guard, named Luo Yi, who carries the "no forgiveness" sticker in his arms, because he knows that Hu Yanjin is good at martial arts, and specially asks the emperor to use this method to get Hu Yanjin's weapon.
Hu Yanjin was full of thoughts, and glanced in the direction of the harem, but he could only see the red walls and green tiles, shining in the spring sun.
The woman he loves is waiting with great anticipation for the festival of the rebirth of all things.
"My lord, let's go."
Huyan Jin had no joy or sorrow on his face, and flew on the horse.
