Shen Jichuan's silence made Zheng Mi's scalp tingle, "Old general, we are also old acquaintances, this kind of joke can't be made!" ”

"Am I kidding?" Shen Jichuan looked at the case file on the table, "The emperor has ordered that all displaced people are prohibited from entering and leaving Pingjing City in the past few days. ”

Zheng Mi's hand shook, "The emperor ordered that the exiles should be forbidden to enter and leave...... Is that what it means? ”

Shen Jichuan did not answer.

Zheng Mi leaned on the chair handle and sat down slowly, his voice was slightly cold, with a bit of disbelief and disappointment, "If you want to make a mess like this, at most thirty or fifty people are enough...... Thousands of people in Beijing, all of whom have to be buried for them? That's ...... They are all the people of my Great Zhou......"

Zheng Mi scolded in his heart and didn't say any more.

It's like something I'm going to do today!

Thinking of this, Zheng Mi stood up suddenly.

"Where is Lord Zheng going?"

"Go find the guard camp to borrow troops and continue to increase the patrol!" Zheng Mi straightened the official hat on his forehead, "Aren't you unable to sleep, I don't think you should sleep at all." When I come back in a while, we will personally try the murderers in the south of the city, and I don't believe that I can't pry them open. ”

"Okay." Shen Jichuan looked at Zheng Mi, "Whether you can save these people's lives depends on Lord Zheng." ”

Zheng Mi sneered, "Don't buckle this kind of high hat for me." If you really commit the crime of encircling and suppressing the people under your own rule...... In the future, it will be stinking for thousands of years and leave an infamy for the ages, I Zheng Mi can't run, and you Shenjichuan will do the same! ”

With that, he glanced in the direction of the court, and then walked away quickly in the night.

1,000 displaced people and 350,000 Gyeonggi people, which is more important.

Zheng Mi knew that if he tried to defend himself, the superiors in the palace or Emperor Jianxi himself would drop such a question.

Zheng Mi couldn't help but snort - this kind of question is nothing more than a trick to dispel guilt.

If one day the person who asked this question was standing among a thousand exiles, the answer would have been different.

But the palace walls are deep and unfathomable, how could these people who have always been hiding in the deepest part of the barrier let themselves fall into such a step.

In the night, Zheng Mi, who was immersed in grief and indignation, walked forward, and suddenly, he heard the entourage behind him scream in fear.

Zheng Mi came back to his senses and followed the sound - behind him, all the attendants stopped, and people looked up at the night sky, trembling hands pointing to a corner of the sky.

Following the direction of the finger, Zheng Mi also raised his head.

I saw a blazing white comet dragging its dark red tail and appearing in the abyss-like night.

The dim moon in the distant sky was hidden by the crimson starlight.

Zheng Mi's limbs couldn't help but start trembling slightly.

A comet strikes the moon.

Unfortunately...... At this time?

……

In front of the high gate of the Xuanxiu Palace, Huang Chongde lowered his head and took a thin shirt from Qiu Shi's hand, stepped forward gently, and covered Emperor Jianxi's shoulder.

A gust of wind passed, and the thin shirt was blown off again, and it drifted with the wind to the ground two or three paces away.

Emperor Jianxi looked motionlessly at the night sky, at the moon swept by the light of the comet, and ignored everything behind him.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest." Huang Chongde said softly, "Early tomorrow morning, there will be cabinet discussions. ”

“…… Do you see that star? ”

"The slave and maid have seen it." Huang Chongde said in a low voice, he respectfully owed the debt, "The slave maid heard that several adults of Qin Tianjian have gathered overnight, and I believe that they will give the emperor an answer tomorrow." ”

Emperor Jianxi slowly retracted his gaze, and Huang Chongde put on the thin shirt again at this moment, and Emperor Jianxi grabbed both sides of the shirt with both hands and gently pressed it together.

“…… I don't want to sleep. He lowered his eyes and said, and after a long time, he said again, "I want to go to Cining Palace." ”

Huang Chongde was a little surprised, but he didn't refute, turned around and ordered.

In the middle of the night, Long Yuan carried Emperor Jianxi, who had a wide robe and big sleeves, through the secluded palace road, and everyone's palms were sweating.

Except for Emperor Jianxi himself, no one dared to raise his head.

People look down at their toes, fearing that something will go wrong at this juncture and bring them to death.

On the palace road leading to Cining Palace, the fallen leaves of the changing seasons have not yet been cleaned, and the footsteps of the palace people step on it, making a rustling sound.

Emperor Jianxi's eyes were deep, and he suddenly felt that everything here seemed so lonely and depressed.

When there were still one or two alleys away from the palace gate, Emperor Jianxi ordered a stop.

With Huang Chongde's support, he stepped on the ground again, and then staggered in the direction of Cining Palace.

Not far away, the palace people who were keeping vigil had already recognized the person who had come - they had just received news not long ago that the emperor was coming in the direction of Cining Palace.

So everyone tensed their heartstrings and waited.

Late at night, Cining Palace was silent, and when Emperor Jianxi stepped into the crimson lacquered gate here, no one on either side shouted "The emperor has arrived".

Only the footsteps are stacked on top of each other, and the hem of the clothes is on the hem of the clothes.

The palace people of Cining Palace waited on both sides of the road with lanterns, all wearing silver half-helmets, and the corners of their mouths were flat without any expression.

The lady in charge of the palace was already waiting in the courtyard.

"Is the Queen Mother awake?" Emperor Jianxi asked softly.

The palace maid nodded.

Emperor Jianxi took a deep breath and looked at the window with the lights not far away, "I didn't sleep, or I just woke up." ”

The palace maid clenched her hand blankly, not knowing how to respond for a while.

Huang Chongde said on the side, "If you haven't slept yet, you shake your head, and if you are woken up, you nod." ”

The palace maid nodded again.

"Is the Queen Mother okay, these days." Emperor Jianxi asked again.

The palace maid nodded for the third time.

Emperor Jianxi's face was a little gloomy, "What do you mean by nodding all the time?" ”

The palace maid immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Emperor Jianxi, and whispered like a beast.

Huang Chongde didn't speak this time - all the furnishings and rules here...... It was all set by Emperor Jianxi himself, and it was impossible for him not to remember that he himself ordered to cut off the tongues of all the palace people, and then put iron masks on everyone, so that no one would know who was here.

But the emperor was still angry.

How could he not be angry.

This method is so effective that after isolating everyone, he is now isolated.

The door of Cining Palace slowly opened at this moment.

Still two palace people wearing iron masks walked out, they carefully grasped the frame of the door, lifted the door slightly, and then silently walked out of a quarter of a circle.

Emperor Jianxi's gaze also moved away from the palace maid, he carried the hem of his clothes, climbed the stairs, and only Huang Chongde followed closely behind him.

In the simple and neat Cining Palace, the Queen Mother, who was inexplicably woken up in the middle of the night, sat inexplicably on the tea party in the main hall, she didn't know what was going on, but she didn't seem to care.

Since she was seated in front of the teahouse, she ordered someone to start boiling water, picked up the teacup herself, and after a while held the cup again and took a nap.

Until a night breeze blew from outside.

The Queen Mother raised her head and saw a tall figure appear by the door.

"Mother." Emperor Jianxi shouted in a low voice, "I ...... Come and see you tonight. ”
