After that, things went very smoothly, and the people of Honglu Temple had no reason, nor did they have the courage to embarrass him, the righteous prince of the imperial court, and quickly went through the registration procedures, and then was respectfully brought by the other party into the post house built by the imperial court for the reception of foreign envoys and officials who rushed to the capital from other places to temporarily live.

Generally speaking, even if no one deliberately made any stumbling blocks in the middle to suppress the news, and His Majesty the Emperor was willing to see him, the summons would not be issued until the next day at the earliest, so Gu Xuan and his party rested in this well-decorated inn, and even the food was delivered by the next person, and they never went out again.

Even if there are actually a lot of things he wants to do, even if there are actually a lot of people who meet, but things have to be done one by one, people always have to meet one by one, this kind of thing, he can't be in a hurry, because he has to do everything well, since he has so much free time, it is better to deduce one or two more.

The time lasted until the night, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, everything was silent, and even the Qinglou painting boat had been closed, when there was a sudden sound of small footsteps outside the door.

Gu Xuan, who had been sleeping very lightly since he arrived in the crisis-ridden Huangsha County, opened his eyes in an instant, even if his brain was not fully awake, he had already turned silently from the soft and warm bed to the door.

The footsteps of the person who came were completely undisguised, and the sound was getting clearer and clearer, obviously the other party was getting closer and closer, Gu Xuan couldn't help but secretly said Could this be what Ye Zhihuai specially reminded him of during the day?

On this floor of this post house, he lives alone, and the other party is obviously coming for him, is it possible, is there really that bold enough to dare to come here and do something wrong to himself?

Could it be true that you are not afraid of being investigated by the people of Dali Temple afterwards?

Could it be true that you are not afraid of provoking Long Yan's anger and bleeding thousands of miles afterwards?

This is the capital!

This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!

He is the dignified king of Hedong County, a prince!

The people outside stopped at the door of his room unexpectedly, the two were separated by a door, Gu Xuan had already held his breath early, stood at the door, did not speak, and did not make any movements, but unexpectedly, the people outside spoke first, and the other party's voice was not loud, but it was very clearly sent into the room, as if someone was talking in the house.

"The late night disturbed the prince's rest, our family will compensate you first, but our family has important things to do, I don't know if we can come in and talk?"

As soon as the other party spoke, Gu Xuan's heart was suddenly shocked, because it was night, there were no windows or lights in his house, there was no light source that could illuminate, he couldn't see his fingers at all, and there was a door between the two sides, so it was impossible for the other party to know the movement in the house.

But this person didn't knock on the door at all, but spoke directly to him, obviously knowing that he was standing at the door, and with this skill of transmitting sound into the room, it was definitely not an ordinary person, obviously a peerless master of kung fu.

And this self-proclaimed

Gu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, he directly stretched out his hand and opened the door in front of him at once, and at the same time, his face was already replaced with a warm smile.

"Grandpa Han!"

It was none other than the personal chief manager beside His Majesty the Emperor Gu Yi of the current dynasty, Han Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies, who exceeded the etiquette system, and the unique special python robe in the entire Daliang was a symbol of his identity.

Although he is just a crippled person, his status in the palace is so high and the weight of his authority in the secret is simply unimaginable to ordinary people, and those who can really stand with him and talk and laugh have to be officials of the level of Ye Zhihuai.

Why did this man come to visit alone late at night?

Just said that between Gu Xuan and him, there is actually a small story, I think that at the beginning, when Concubine Li was about to give birth, when Gu Xuan was born, it was this Han Gonggong who was feared like a tiger in the harem, and then he followed the other party to learn martial arts for a period of time, and he could be regarded as half a master-apprentice friendship.

The other party has long been a figure of great success, thinking about it for more than ten years, even Emperor Gu Yi, a person who makes supplements every day, has already given birth to Huafa, but the other party's appearance has not changed much, and he still looks young, and there is not even a trace of wrinkles on his face.

As for the smile on Gu Xuan's face, most of it was sincere, but because of Ye Zhihuai's previous special reminder, Gu Xuan was still cautious and did not completely unload the guard in his heart, after all, no one knows, maybe this famous Han Gonggong secretly reached an offensive and defensive alliance with whom.

Although the two of them were in the dark, perhaps seeing Gu Xuan's vigilance, this Han Diao Temple actually took the initiative to comfort him: "It's our family who is presumptuous, there are indeed some people in the court who want to take advantage of the fact that you have just returned to the capital and the foundation is not stable, but on the way, we have already solved a batch of them first, this is also what Your Majesty meant, knock them one or two, at least, you can rest assured tonight." ”

Father

When talking about this person, Gu Xuan's expression became very complicated, this so-called father, in fact, the time he really met him was only a few days a year, and most of them were in public at family banquets.

For as long as he can remember, the father and son have been getting along in private, it is completely wishful thinking, and after a long time, so many years have passed, even a child like him who is actually very sensible has been a little unclear whether the other party is really unwilling to visit their mother and son, or does not pay attention to them at all, or is really just doing it deliberately to protect them.

has been like this since he was a child, so most of this child's feelings for his father are actually pinned on Gu Cang and Jinglong, and now when he really mentions him, Gu Xuan even feels a little strange.

He didn't want to talk about these things, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Father asked you to come today, presumably not only for this." ”

Hearing this, Han Diao Temple nodded lightly and said bluntly: "Your Majesty has something to say to you, so I specially sent our family to inform you and let you enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Gu Xuan frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Now?"

It should already be the time now, how could it be deliberately chosen at this time, if there is really something, it should be announced that he will enter the palace during the day, or just wait for the court meeting to summon him directly, and call him in the middle of the night.

In the final analysis, it was Ye Zhihuai's reminder that made him have to think about a little more possibility.

Han Diao Temple didn't know if he could really see the doubts on his face, or if he simply heard his hesitation, so he immediately smiled bitterly and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, don't worry too much, if our family is that kind of person, there will be no place for our family in this palace." ”

His Majesty Gu Yi is not an ordinary emperor, such as Shangguan Ming of the Jin Kingdom, although he is not completely hollowed out by the people below, he still holds the right to appoint and dismiss officials, but he has never known what the people's suffering is, no matter how big or small, even the price of eggs is heard from the mouths of the subordinates, which is not much different from being hollowed out.

But Gu Yi has never been like this, he likes to do everything himself, he sees everything, and holds everything in his hands, except for Gu Cang, an outlier, if the people below cross the bottom line, he will definitely kill the chickens and monkeys with thunderous means, there is no reason to be spared, and this Han Mink Temple is not as good as the officials in the court, the world is big, and he can go anywhere, everything he has now comes from the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, if the new emperor really ascends the throne in the future, he will naturally cultivate his own team, and he will not keep him in power, so he doesn't need to do that kind of stupid thing。

Gu Xuan figured out the joints here, his heart was slightly relaxed, he bowed his head slightly, and hurriedly arched his hand: "What you said is extremely true, but Gu Xuan is stingy." ”

Han Diao Temple is wearing a python robe again, and he can shake his identity in front of other people, but where do they dare to do this in front of their Gu family's children, they dare not slack off at the moment, and immediately return the salute with a more respectful attitude, and then suppressed his throat and whispered: "Where is the prince, it is also appropriate to be cautious, forgive our family for one more mouth, this capital is now an undercurrent, the prince should be cautious in everything, think a little more about everything, otherwise even if Your Majesty wants to protect you, but you can't help but be a little bold, if you really have a fish to die and the net is broken, this is also not a good thing." ”

Even if some people are completely sacrificed, as long as Gu Xuan can be suppressed and he can't turn over again, it is worth it, as long as the people they support are in power, this loss can naturally be made up, this is to be small and big, and if you get to the gambling table, you have to be ruthless!

Even if the monarch's power is greater than the sky, once the people below are united and protect each other, it is difficult to say that they can truly destroy the first evil and deter Xiaoxiao.

When Gu Xuan heard this, he was completely relieved that he had not let go of the breath that he had been mentioning, and he arched his hand again, and thanked him very sincerely: "Thank you Gonggong Han for mentioning it, Xuan Ming remembers it in his heart!"

The reason why he let down his vigilance is not only because this Han Gonggong deliberately reminded himself to be careful, but also because there is only one possibility for the other party to do this, that is, because his father specially instructed him, or he figured out the taste himself, so he deliberately said more, and in other words, his father was willing to accept himself.

Although he promised his second brother before that he would inherit everything he left behind, and he had to get the position of the crown prince, but when he returned to Beijing, how to get along with his father, he actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, and now this situation can be said to be a good start, so he is very happy.

Han Diao Temple's heart secretly said that the son can be taught, this kid's heart is much stronger than the rest of the people, but the business can't be delayed, quickly stretched out his hand, and said: "Let's go, Lord Wang, deliberately pick the night, just to not alarm too many people, so I bother you to enter the palace with our family." ”

Gu Xuan nodded and said, "It should be." ”

He turned around and closed the door, didn't bring anything, and followed Han Mink Temple out of the post house one after another, got into the carriage parked outside, and then the Han Gonggong drove for himself, and the carriage slowly walked towards the gate of the palace.

After walking for a while, Gu Xuan finally let down his last vigilance, because even if he was sitting in the car, he knew that the direction of the carriage was correct.

There was nothing bad happening on the way, in fact, although Gu Xuan also felt that there were a lot of people peeping outside the carriage, but it was estimated that he recognized who the person who was driving the carriage was, and these people did not act rashly.

Martial artists who have really practiced martial arts and entered the hall should feel the strength of this Han Gonggong, and it is no wonder that the real bodyguard of the father and emperor is actually this Han Gonggong, and he has learned a lot of things with him, especially about internal strength, and naturally understands that this person's ability should still be above himself.

It's just that I didn't expect that under this sun, there are more shadows, and in this capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who are bold enough to attack the prince.

Thinking of this, Gu Xuan suddenly felt a little sad again, because if the second brother was still there, he would definitely not have these bad things, and it would not be his turn to face it alone.

People have to grow up after all.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at the gate of the palace smoothly, and there was a drive from Han Mink Temple, so naturally even routine inspections were omitted, and the carriage had passed three light cards before finally stopping.

Without the other party to speak, Gu Xuan himself naturally got out of the car, because he had lived here for eighteen years, how could he not know what kind of place this was.

This is the main entrance of Yongle Palace!

------

It is also possible to say that the post house is also the most correct to say that the Honglu Temple is the most correct, and it is even okay to say that the Ministry of Rites is OK, anyway, it is this benefit that is overhead, and it will be changed when I think about it today, and I am too lazy to change it before it.
