All the buildings in the Tianque Palace are composed of two parts, the "former court" and the "inner court", and are surrounded by city walls. It is surrounded on all sides by the river Tube. There are turrets at the four corners of the city. There is a gate on each side, and due south is Zhengyang Gate, which is the main gate of Tianque Palace.

The "outer court" and the "inner court" are bounded by the Chengqianmen, the south of the Chengqianmen is the outer court, and the north is the inner court. The architectural atmosphere of the outer court and the inner court of the Tianque Palace is very different.

The Outer Dynasty is centered on the three major halls and is located in the central axis of the entire imperial palace, among which the "Yamato Hall" of the three major halls is commonly known as the "Jinluan Palace", which is the place where the Holy Dynasty holds its court meeting today, also known as the "former dynasty".

At this time, Xie Shi and Du Guangren came by car, and it was Xie Fu's little guy Xie who drove the car, and the carriage went straight to Zhengyang Gate. Xie Shi lifted the car curtain, and saw the Tianque Palace from afar, because the roof of the Tianque Palace building was covered with various colored glazed tiles, so he looked at it from afar, a bright yellow color, under the sunlight, reflecting all kinds of light, and the two ends of the ridge in the roof of the Yamato Hall each had a glazed kissing beast, which swallowed the ridge steadily and powerfully.

On this day, the east and west six palaces of the palace are self-contained, each has the palace gate and the palace wall, is relatively arranged, orderly, and then matched with the palace lamp couplet, embroidered couch a few beds, and the inner court is followed by the palace back garden. In the back garden, there are the green pines and cypresses that are not withered in the cold years, and there are exquisite rockeries that are stacked with beautiful stones, and the buildings, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions are hidden in the meantime, beautiful and quiet.

Xie Shi and Du Guangren ran to the Zhengyang Gate, but were stopped by the guards guarding the door, Du Guangren got out of the car, hurriedly took out the wat board, and said: "Du Guangren, the servant of the ministry, and Xie Shi, the superintendent of the imperial history, met with the king, discussed the government, and please let go." ”

The guards guarding the door knew Du Guangren and Xie Shi, and it stands to reason that they should be allowed to go, but the guards guarding the door showed embarrassment and whispered: "Du Shilang, since the beginning of the hour, Zhengyang Gate has only been unable to enter, and now it is even more refused." ”

Du Guangren was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?" ”

The guard said: "I don't know what happened in the Yamato Hall this morning, there is news inside, and no one outside is allowed to enter, as if the saint is angry." ”

Du Guangren: "It's so decent, why did you close the door?"

The guard shook his head, "We can't speculate on the holy will, I only know that Xiang Guo entered the palace before the time, and he hasn't come out yet, I don't know if the sudden closure of the door has something to do with Xiang Guo." ”

Du Guangren pondered for a moment, thanked him, and walked back to the carriage, Xie stood beside the car, "Du Gongzi, where are we going now?" ”

Du Guangren shook his head, sat silently in the car, the car was smoked with good incense, Xie Shi was light and light at this time, and no one was holding an ancient book in his hand, reading it carefully, Du Guangren forced his anger, waited for a while, and still didn't react when he saw Xie, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xie, it's really good concentration, Guangren is willing to bow down." ”

Xie Shi smiled and was silent, Du Guangren said even more angrily, "Brother Xie, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Xie Shi finally closed the book and asked calmly: "Brother Guangren, the matter has come to this point, it is chaotic to care, and it is useless to be anxious, let's wait for the development of things, it is estimated that there will be results in a few hours." ”

Du Guangren said: "We have been planning for so long, isn't it just for a lethal move, if we really let the old fox resign and return to his hometown, wouldn't it be a plan in vain, and it will have no deterrent effect on the Chu Party at all." ”

Du Guangren wanted to say something, but saw that Xie Shi's eyes had fallen outside the car, he also looked over, only to see a kick and tap from a distance, the people in the car seemed to be very anxious, the driver who was driving kept driving, and the horse ran more and more urgently, the carriage ran to Zhengyang Gate before the coachman pulled the reins and stopped, the horse neighed, the four hooves kept stepping in place, and the coachman calmed down for a while.

A beautiful young woman got out of the carriage, and said something to the guard guarding the door, but the guard shook his head and pointed to the carriage of thanks, meaning that they were also waiting here.

The young girl didn't get entangled, she whispered something to the people in the car, and the people in the car said a few words, Du Guangren didn't hear it clearly, but looking at the young girl's expression, he guessed that the people in the car should have been instructed to wait far away.

The carriage and Zhengyangmen were a little far away, and stopped far away, the young girl turned her face at this time, Du Guangren saw that the face was very familiar, and suddenly didn't remember where she had seen it, Xie Shi said: "On the bank of the Huai River." ”

Du Guangren suddenly realized, "Isn't that the maid of Chu Mansion?" ”

Xie Shi nodded, it seems that the Chu Mansion got the news, and immediately went straight to Zhengyangmen, wanting to find out the situation, but Zhengyangmen couldn't even enter the officials of the early dynasty at this time, how could they let the two of them go, and they immediately ate the closed door soup and had to wait outside.

Du Guangren said: "It won't be the lady who jumped into the river in the car." ”

Xie Shi nodded, thinking to himself who else could there be besides her, could the two losers of the Chu family still have a relationship with the life and death of the old lady Chu, and now he can't say which gentle township to buy drunk.

Du Guangren seemed to hate everything in Chu Mansion, nodded when he saw Xie Shi, and said sarcastically, "Chu Mansion really has no man, and at this time, it is no wonder that Chu Mansion will be defeated, and the family is full of unfilial children." ”

Xie Shi felt that this was inappropriate, and he didn't argue with him, and looked at the carriage from a distance, and the people behind the curtain looked worried.

It was Chu Renmeng who sat in this car, and on the way back, they met the Chu family's little maid to look for it, it was sent by the eldest lady, Chu Renmeng only said if there was anything wrong with the mother, and only after careful questioning did I know that it was the old lady Chu who was announced into the palace early in the morning, and has not returned so far.

When the gentleman in charge of the Chu family heard the news, he knew that it was not good, and he was busy looking for the second master and the third master, only then did he know that the second master and the third master did not return overnight, and Xu was staying in the green building of a prostitution house, and the second lady's heart was like ashes, and she had taken the second lady back to her parents' house yesterday. The steward stomped his feet in a hurry, and did not dare to rashly tell the old lady, for fear that the old lady would have three long and two short in a hurry, so he hurried to find the eldest lady, the eldest lady drank wine last night, and was hungover at this time. ”

The steward hurriedly ran to the Meng Garden, and saw that there were only two girls in the Meng Garden, Huang Li and Begonia, and the two girls were sweeping in the courtyard, so they knew that Chu Renmeng went to the Huai River to run early in the morning, so he sent the little guy in Chu Mansion to look around, and happened to bump into Chu Renmeng who came back on the street, Chu Renmeng listened to the words of the little guy, and didn't have time to change clothes, so he ran directly with the carriage all the way to Zhengyang Gate, and then took a breath.
