Chapter 124: The Emperor's Mind (10)

Inside the Imperial City Palace. The pavilion and the palace are pecked high by the eaves. Outside the Imperial City Palace, three mountains are ringed, towering into the clouds, and the right is used as a barrier. As the place where the imperial family held the power of Taoism, the He Mansion has always been the armor to guard the imperial city, and it is located outside the imperial city alongside the general's mansion, the place where secular power is concentrated.

In addition, officials above the third rank all live in the imperial city.

The Imperial City is a veritable center of power. Outside, there is a human barrier in the sky, and the defense is heavy, which is the most impregnable place in the entire Cangyin Continent, which is really impregnable.

In ordinary times, the king can rest easy.

The Qiancheng Hall is the main hall in the Imperial City Palace, the place where the king deliberates, and the aesthetic style of its construction is the most of the palaces. The night pearls in the main hall are crystal clear, the pearls are curtains, the gold and stone are reliefs, and there is an imposing middle-aged man sitting on the white jade steps.

He was dressed in a golden-brown royal dress, and on top of the court robe, a Gou Chen divine beast that looked at all beings was stepping domineering and arrogant, and his unruly eyes were looking at the front heavily, just like its master, looking at the officials and ministers in the hall with different opinions.

"According to the high priest, there are traitors in this imperial city who collude with the demons and intend to kill the king. What does Zhong Aiqing mean by this? Emperor Shunze's tepid words made the discussion in the hall stop abruptly.

Everyone was terrified, but they all knelt on the ground for a moment, holding their breath and condensing, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

The hall was silent for an instant, the invisible pressure did not come to the top, no one dared to speak, only He Cheng was shocked, turned his head to look at Nangong Zhe, and asked, "High priest, is there any evidence?" ”

Nangong Zhe lowered his head, and was just about to reply, when Emperor Shunze's fingertips went down and lightly buckled the table.

A soft sound was particularly piercing in the hall where the needle could be heard, like a warning, and like a heavy punch. His eyes gently swept over the ministers in the hall, and everyone bent their backs deeper like a man, and then his gaze slowly fell on He Cheng.

The emperor's voice was deep, repeating the previous question, "I am asking, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Emperor Shunze has always treated He Cheng and Nan Rong Siye kindly, but this time his tone was slightly aggravated, obviously displeased with He Cheng. The ministers were frightened, but they also knew that the "matter" asked by the Holy Lord was about the closure of the city.

He Cheng was shocked in his heart, and when he was thinking about it, someone took it lightly, "Holy Lord, just relying on the high priest's speculation to seal the city in vain, the minister feels that it is inappropriate. ”

The brown official in the court dress who knelt on the right side straightened his back slightly, knelt in place, and replied respectfully, "If the demon is reckless outside the city, the closure of the city will probably lose the hearts of the people." ”

"Nan Rong Siye!"

Seeing that his rebuttal was to the point, the high priest Nangong Zhe raised his head and called him by name, with some unhappiness in his tone: "When the East Mountain collapses, the demons will pour out their nests!" If there was no eyeliner in the Imperial City, how could the demons act so quickly? Could it be... All a coincidence? ”

Nan Rong Siye didn't pay attention to Nangong Zhe, his eyes looked directly at Emperor Shunze, his hands were folded, he slowly buckled his head, and said in a loud voice: "Holy Lord! This matter has not yet been decided, and I hope to consider it thoroughly! The most urgent thing at the moment is the safety of the people outside the city! ”

"If there are indeed people in the city who collude with demons, once the barrier is opened, the inside and the outside should be united! In this way, can you afford the safety of the Holy One? Hearing this, Nangong Zhe threw his sleeves angrily, and the hostility in his tone was no longer concealed.

"Report!"

At this moment of tension, a shrill message came from outside the hall.

The chief of Ouchi, who was guarding outside the main hall, reported to the king in the hall, "Holy! His Royal Highness Nan Rong Shizi asks to see you! ”

Puchu!?

Hearing this announcement, Nan Rong Siye frowned.

Emperor Shunze showed a smile of unknown emotion on his face, and shouted to the chief administrator outside the hall, "Xuan!" ”

"Xuan!" After receiving this imperial order, the chief steward waiting outside the palace immediately shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Xuannan Rong is here!"

The summons was about to fall, and a young man ran in like a wind.

"Uncle Huang!"

Nan Rong Puchu ran over from outside the hall, and at a glance saw the father and He Cheng kneeling below, and ran over immediately, "Dad! Uncle He! You're all here! ”

"I've found you!"

The young prince who had been frightened all the way saw that the elders close to him were safe and sound, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was no longer afraid, but chattered as usual, "What's going on in this imperial city?" Why is the city still under lockdown? It's full of demons outside, and the people have to be taken care of! What's going on? ”

Seeing that he was still acting so indiscriminately, Nan Rong Siye's forehead was bruised, and he didn't look up, he still knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and shouted at Nan Rong Puchu, "Kneel!" ”

"Uncle Huang pardoned me and Ah Xuan before, you don't have to kneel down to salute!" Nan Rongpu raised his head at the beginning, and he was about to say something with a smile, but he was held down by He Xuan, who came later, and the two of them knelt down.

"Deliberations between the DPRK and China, pay attention to ...... manners"

He Xuan made a silent gesture towards Nan Rong Puchu and reminded him softly.

Nan Rongpu reacted at this time, and secretly glanced behind him for a moment, and found that all the officials behind him knelt on the ground and bowed their heads, and suddenly realized that they were not behaving appropriately regardless of the occasion. Just as he was remorseful, he heard a chuckle from the throne.

"If there is a father, there must be a son, and His Royal Highness the Prince is also very concerned about the people of my imperial city!"

Rao is Puchu is stupid, and he also heard the words of the saint, although he doesn't know what happened in the temple before, but Nan Rong Puchu has only one advantage since he was a child - he never asks the reason for admitting mistakes, only paying attention to a fast! Permit! Vicious!

This is not! He immediately kowtowed respectfully, and loudly said out the words of praise that were quickly organized in his heart, "The saint has always been diligent and wise, loves the people like a son, and is really a rare Ming monarch in a century. ”

"What the Holy God has done, there must be something in it! Pu was young and ignorant, born stupid, and the deep meaning of the saint is really difficult to see one or two! Pu Chu said wildly, and hoped that the saint would forgive his sins! ”

These words were made in one go. Nan Rongpu had flowers under his mouth, and he almost didn't dare to stop breathing, so that He Xuan was slightly stunned.

Hearing Pu Chu's call, Emperor Shun Ze instantly laughed heartily, "Pu Chu has been out for a long time, and this mouth has grown a lot. Then he smiled and waved his hand, "Don't kneel, get up." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but before they got up for a moment, Emperor Shunze's face changed, and his face was already sinking like water at this moment.

Fang Cai's smile was like a flash in the pan. The high emperor put away his smile, as if interrogating, and asked solemnly, "...... you?"

"How did you get into the Imperial City!?"
