The emperor had already spoken, and Zhang Yue couldn't leave at this time.

His appearance just reminded the emperor that this Hu Yanjin must not be released from the palace.

Hu Yanjin stepped forward and said:

"If you go back to the emperor, this is also a coincidence. When we went, we happened to meet the students of the academy who were making trouble, and they were about to go to the county government to petition, which was related to the county order, and naturally it was also the duty of the minister.

Besides, this case is indispensable for the help of Lord Jinyi Weiluo, otherwise, it would be impossible for the minister to get it, Yan County's order is hidden in the real account book in the dark grid, there is no evidence, how can he be allowed to surrender so quickly.

Minister, please take credit for Lord Jinyi Weiluo and others. ”

Luo Yi saw that Huyan Jin had nodded to him twice, and he didn't want to show his attitude, so he also stepped forward and said: "Lord Huyan acted decisively, and both things were done neatly, and Weichen admired him." ”

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Hmm! This shows that I am not wrong, both of them have merit and reward! Zhang Yue, what are you here for? Go ahead. ”

"This ...... It's about Hongluo Temple. ”

The emperor said before that he couldn't spread the word, and there were two "outsiders" here, and he had to ask the emperor to say it.

"Say, they're not outsiders either."

Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the emperor wanted to hide it from Hu Yanjin, and he couldn't tell Hu Yanjin about Hua Qiao along the way, which was closely related to any decision he had to make.

"Yes. It was reported that in the east of Yanqi Lake, the group of robbers had been seen, and it was very likely that they hid in the wild lake after kidnapping the eldest princess Baoying. The minister wanted to bring more people and outflank Yanqi Lake. ”

"The eldest princess of Baoying has been kidnapped?"

Hu Yanjin heard these words that Zhang Yue deliberately accentuated, if he didn't lose his temper, the emperor might not believe it.

The emperor nodded, sighed and said, "A few days ago, on the way back from going to Hongluo Temple to enter incense, they met robbers, and they didn't rob anything, but robbed Baoying and a few of her men. Even that Xiao Gao was robbed, don't you think it's weird? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister and the eldest princess Baoying are also old acquaintances, and they are willing to go with Lord Zhang."

The emperor shook his head and said, "You are the inspector of the imperial history, so let's leave the matter of finding someone to them in Jinyiwei." Luo Yi, you take someone with Master Zhang. ”

He turned his head to look at Wang Zhen and said:

"Wang Zhen, go to arrange a banquet, I haven't seen Huyan for many days, and I want to talk to him alone. The rest of the people stand down. ”

Xiao Zhong understood that the emperor wanted to leave Lord Huyan in the palace.

Hu Yanjin was indescribably relaxed at the moment, he knew that Hua Qiao had already taken the opportunity to leave the palace, and he no longer had any worries.

After eating and leaving the palace, he left overnight, and at dawn tomorrow, he would be able to see the buckwheat.

Zhang Yue left worriedly, he didn't go to Yanqi Lake closely, fortunately they were all his people, and they would come back after finding a place to go around.

As for this stunned young man, he has to teach him a lesson, otherwise, he won't be able to find the north!

Hu Yanjin also accompanied Zhu Zhanji to dine before, at that time, after the dispersal of the dynasty, he and Zhang Yue, or he was alone, often ate in the East Palace.

can accompany the emperor to dine, this is the first time.

"Huyan, the first time I saw you was in the county office of Baoying County, at that time, you and Hua Qiao sneakily went to investigate the case. That was also the only time I encountered a civil homicide case and became a parent official. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's only been three years, but you've experienced so many things, and you've changed from the emperor's grandson to the emperor."

Hu Yanjin remembered the buckwheat at that time, smart and a little confused, and laughed, like a spring flower.

"Yes, it's because things have happened too much and happened so quickly that I have the illusion that I have known you not for three years, but for thirty years. I always thought I knew you very well, but in fact, ......"

Hu Yan Jin was already sitting on the lower seat opposite the emperor, and when he heard this, he quickly got up and knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "Hu Yan is loyal to the emperor and has nothing to hide. ”

"Get up. I ask you, have you ever complained about me about the marriage of Hua Qiao? ”

The emperor had never talked to Hu Yanjin about this issue, and he felt that Hu Yan should understand. At least, it means that he didn't come to make trouble after marriage, which means that he understands.

Hu Yanjin said honestly: "The truth is understood, but the minister's heart has never been able to let go of her." If it weren't for her, the minister would rather never marry. ”

This answer is not what the emperor wants, but it is what he likes to hear.

"My Daming, in addition to those mature and refined old ministers, I also need you, Zhang Yue, Xu Zhijin, these new ministers who have ideas and momentum. If you forget your responsibilities as a courtier only for the sake of your children's personal interests, I don't like such a person. ”

"Your Majesty...... Hua Qiao is the minister's younger sister, she is missing, the minister ......"

"This 'junior sister', don't mention it!"

The emperor's face sank, and he said coldly: "You are a person, everything is good, when you encounter emotional matters, you don't care about anything!" You can bully the king, can you also rebel! ”

Hu Yanjin hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Why did the emperor say this? Wechen don't dare! ”

"Don't you dare? I know that the flowers are rich and not dead, and you have long known that you have never heard you mention it when you get along with me day and night! It's not a bully, it's something! Hum! ”

The emperor got up and flicked his sleeves and left, leaving a sentence:

"You will stay in the Huanzhang Hall tonight, think about what you have done!"

This...... Is this not allowed to leave the palace?

After the emperor left, Gonggong Zhou said expressionlessly: "Lord Huyan, please." ”

Huanzhang Hall is the west side hall of Wuying Palace, although it is far away from the harem, it is not possible to move around at will. Zhou's father-in-law repeatedly explained one sentence:

You can't leave the room.

What an honor it is to stay in the palace, but at this time, for Hu Yanjin, it is two words: house arrest.

If it is only for the sake of spending money, the emperor will not put him under house arrest, and the punishment that should be punished and the pass that should be closed are clear and clear. Could it be that the emperor is unwilling to find buckwheat by himself?

In the Huanzhang Palace, Hu Yanjin tossed and turned.

Early the next morning, Hu Yanjin got up and wanted to open the door to ask the attendant outside to let him wash, only to find that the door was locked from the outside.

"Lord Huyan, Lord Zhou said, what do you need, just say, you just returned to Beijing, you don't have to go to the court for the past two days, just rest in the palace. The emperor is looking for you, and someone will pass it on. ”

A shrill voice came from outside, unfamiliar.

"Then let's wait for the official to wash up."

Hu Yanjin wants to meet people, and only when he sees can he have a chance to know what happened.

After a while, two twelve or thirteen-year-old little palace maids came in. One carries a basin of water, and the other holds a box for combing hair.

Hu Yanjin usually doesn't use maidservants, he is a little unaccustomed to it, let them put down things, and he comes by himself. The two of them were not polite to him, and really put down their things and left.

Let's go? …… I haven't asked anything......

If it comes, it will be safe.

Hu Yanjin looked around and saw a large bookshelf against the west wall, he stood up and walked over.

It turned out that they were all miscellaneous books, perhaps because the emperor didn't read them often, so they were put here.

Hu Yanjin picked out a copy of "Journey to the West" written by Yelu Chucai in the Yuan Dynasty, sat in front of the window, and read it calmly.
