The chrysanthemum banquet is a grand event in Genyue Mansion and a major event in the imperial capital. Because September 15 every year is the birthday of the Queen Mother.

Although the discord between the emperor and the queen mother is a well-known thing in the whole dynasty, but for the sake of the reputation of filial piety, the saint will always attend it in a fake way, of course, it is just a formality, and by the way, he will give a gift with a lot of face.

What should I give this year?

On the Longji Palace, Emperor Daluo Qi Tuohai had just finished talking to several important ministers about the cabinet candidates, so he called Gonggong Tao.

"How are the gifts for the Queen Mother's birthday prepared?"

"Back to the emperor, everything is ready." Gonggong Tao replied respectfully.

"What are you preparing for this year?"

"There are three gifts, which are decided by you, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Gonggong Tao took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it over.

On the fold are the names, characteristics, origins, and patterns of the three gifts.

Qi Tuohai is in his forties, with a majestic appearance, a white face and a short beard, and a pair of single Dan eyes.

He stroked his beard and looked down. After reading it once, he pondered for a moment, picked it up and flipped it again, and there was no expression on his face.

After half a ring, he asked casually, "What did the eldest princess and queen prepare this year?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I heard that the eldest princess prepared the Yaochi Jade Lotus in West Kunlun, and the queen prepared the Polar Night Orchid."

"Polar Night Orchid? Northland's? ”

"Exactly."

Qi Tuohai suddenly sneered: "The queen has always been gentle and cowardly, the family is not prominent, and she has no dealings with foreign ministers, how did she get such a rare and strange flower?" ”

"This ......" Gonggong Tao heard that the emperor's tone was not good, and he didn't dare to reply.

"Check, who has the queen been in close contact with recently, and who gave this flower and who gave the idea."

"Yes. The old slave will do it. ”

Qi Tuohai stared at the fold in his hand, was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Who is guarding the Tongguan in the West?" ”

"Shi Hou's younger brother Shi Ya."

"Shi Heng's younger brother? How is he? ”

"In the first battle of the Panshi War, Shi Ya was appointed as the deputy general of Tongguan before the war. Later, Ling An, the former copper guard, was implicated in the rebellion of the Xiao and Wang families and was cut off from his position, and Shi Ya was naturally promoted to the main general. ”

"Why didn't I know about this?" Qi Tuohai finally showed displeasure, such a big personnel change, he, who was the emperor, didn't know about it.

"The cases of Xiao Wang Shuling and the four families have been presented to you together, and you have all reviewed them. It's just that the positions vacated by these few people in the DPRK will be presided over by the original subordinates below the third grade, and you will decide on the positions above the third grade. The position of this copper pass is important, but the rank of the guard is only four grades, so you don't know about the deputy general Shi Ya. ”

While explaining, Gonggong Tao peeked at the emperor's expression, for fear that what he said was wrong would touch Long Yan.

"Then where did Ling An go?"

"I'm going to guard Wolf Peak Fort."

"Isn't that a lonely city deep into the West?"

"Yes, and two hundred guards and four or five hundred border people."

"Check, whether the Empress Dowager's congratulatory gift prepared by the eldest princess is related to Shi Ya, whether there is Shi Heng's shadow behind it, and her network in the west."

"Yes."

Qi Tuohai threw the fold on the table, stood up, and asked, "How are things going on over there in Duan Fangshan?" ”

"Everything is going according to plan."

"Okay, let him get things done cleanly. After the chrysanthemum feast, I don't want to see the five David kilometers of Genyue Mansion, and there are people who are not me. ”

"The old slave understands, so I'm going to remind him."

"Okay, there you go."

"Shengshang, the gift for the Queen Mother...... Gonggong Tao glanced at the fold, thinking to himself, Your Majesty, you haven't decided yet.

Qi Tuohai said coldly: "None of these things will work, you let General Cao come to Jiaorong Hall to dine with me in the evening." ”

"Obey the order, the old slave retires."

Gonggong Tao bowed down and left, but when he turned around, there was a trace of unwillingness on his fat face. secretly said in his heart, what General Cao, like himself, is just a eunuch. If it weren't for the dragon's work, how could he get this great grace.

Everyone has their own calculations, the emperor has the emperor, the eunuch has the eunuch, and the prince has the prince.

The current Sixth Prince is talking to his pig-headed military advisor about a major event - escaping from Genyue Mansion.

Of course, this is not a simple escape. First of all, this house is heavily guarded, and it seems that it is very casual to go in and out of the house, but in fact, there is a legion of eunuchs stationed here. Everyone is strong in martial arts and has extraordinary skills.

Especially the Iron Medicine Mountain Tiewei Gong, who is five David kilometers, is a grandmaster-level master.

The subordinates he led guarded the safety of the house day and night, and the slightest disturbance would appear immediately. It's just that it's usually hidden in all corners and won't be discovered.

At last night's banquet, a few people just agreed on how to be brilliant when presenting gifts, but there were still some things that were inconvenient for Yan Li, Jun Xiu, and Yin Wen to know.

Now Qi Mochen came to Xiao Yimeng's room, and the two discussed the route after leaving the city.

For Xiao Yimeng, the entire imperial capital is unfamiliar, and after going out, he only remembered that the city gate was very difficult to get out, and there was a general from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division guarding the town.

And the little power and advantage that the six princes possessed disappeared after leaving Genyue Mansion. If you go out of the city, where you will go after you leave the city, this needs to be arranged in advance.

Xiao Yimeng shook her pig's head, at a loss, "You won't have no cronies in the court, right?" ”

"I can't see you at all on weekdays, and I've always been obscure, where did I come from. Otherwise, why do you expect it, just take one step and pull it out of the city. If I were in this city, I would be found in half a day. ”

The red brocade robe could not hide the sad face of a young man, and he wanted to find wine to drink, only to find that all the wine he had moved out yesterday had been drunk.

"Do you think Jun Xiu and Yin Wen will like to live here?" Xiao Yimeng asked suddenly.

"Maybe, after all, there are fine clothes and food here." Qi Mochen didn't understand what she meant.

"But if you escape, will they be implicated or punished?"

"This ......" Qi Mochen hesitated, "Why didn't I think of this?" Either I'll send them to another yard in the next few days, or they'll definitely suffer from me. ”

Looking at his sincere gaze and excited look, Xiao Yimeng believed that he was not pretending. It turned out that the bohemian teenager in front of him still had a kind heart. It seems that I have to help with this. Not only for myself, but also for all the relatives in the entire Chaozhen Kick!

She looked down and thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't we tell them about the escape, and ask them if they'd like to go with us?" ”。

"What? You're going to run away with everyone? That's impossible! ”
