Chapter 53: Chaos

The scholar hurriedly went down the mountain with the note given by Mao Leyan, and it was still dark at that time. ╔Batu╗King Qing usually returns at night, so if the scholar waits at the gate of the house, he will definitely be able to wait.

However, the scholar waited at the gate of the palace all night, but did not see King Qing return. Instead, he saw her, Luo Yunsheng. At that time, the sky was still in a state of chaos, and at the beginning of the heavy snowfall, the sky was not clear, and the side door of the palace opened, and a woman came out of it, followed by two maids.

He will never forget this woman in his life. He used to love her with his life, and he actually believed that she loved him, otherwise he would not elope with him. However, after he fell off the list, she chose to leave him, and he also chose to commit suicide under the double blow.

After he died, he regretted it very much, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in this world, for a woman who doesn't love him, for some fame that shouldn't be pursued, he casually promised his life lightly. Of course, he also knew that this woman was not sad at all after his death, and sold his house without even giving his parents a penny. He saw all her actions, and finally understood that he was an out-and-out fool.

Now seeing her again, all the past came to mind, and he followed her stupidly, not knowing that the sun had quietly come out, and he completely forgot what Mao Leyan had instructed.

When the first rays of the morning sun shone on him, he rolled on the ground in pain, but fortunately there was a temple in front of him, and although he could not enter, he could temporarily rest in the shade of the door. ╔Super cute beast princess╗

The sunlight soon disappeared, and a gloomy weather followed, and the flash of sunlight seemed to be an illusion, and the snow that had just stopped for a short time began to cover the ground again, and this time, in the form of a blizzard.

He walked in the blizzard a little frantically, looking for Luo Yunsheng's figure, he didn't know where she was going, he didn't know why she appeared in Qingwangfu, although he knew that everything was no longer related to him, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

King Qing did not return overnight, and last night when it was about Mohai, news came from the palace, saying that the emperor was out of the palace alone, and he was afraid that there would be danger, so he led people to inspect the capital.

However, when the emperor was besieged, his men and horses made their way to the north of the city. Soon after the emperor was rescued by Mao Leyan, King Qing's men also inspected the place of the fight and saw blood stains on the ground. King Qing had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly ordered someone to inform General Mo Li.

General Mo Li is the man Mao Leyan met at the side door when King Qing married Concubine Ning. He had been guarding the frontier, but when the war ended, he led his troops back to Beijing. ╔265╗

Speaking of this General Mo Li, he is the same age as the emperor, he is the third son of the military department, he has been in the palace since he was a child, and he grew up with the emperor. General Mo Li has not yet married this year, and he is a wild and uninhibited man.

When Mo Li heard the news, he hurried to meet King Qing. The two checked the scene and the traces of the fight, and King Qing said worriedly: "Li Yuan sent a message, saying that the emperor went out of the palace alone last night, and he didn't say what he was doing in the palace, he was worried about danger, so he notified the king, and the king had stepped up patrols as soon as possible, hoping to find the emperor, but two full hours have passed, and there is no news from the emperor." ”

Mo Li said: "The reason why the emperor left the palace, I think you and I both know, is for the jade pendant." After the loss of this jade pendant, he has been unable to eat, unable to sleep at night, if the king of Nanjing learned that the jade pendant of the country was lost, he will definitely find a stubble, and ask the master of sin, when he rises to the army, it will be justified.

There is a story about this so-called heirloom jade pendant. I think that year, when Emperor Taizu founded the country, he fought for many years, and the people were not happy, and then a fairy came with a jade pendant of the dragon in his hand, and informed Emperor Taizu that this jade pendant was used to stabilize the country and secure the country. After Emperor Taizu got the jade pendant, he married the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the princess was virtuous, and she continued to do ideological work in the two countries, and finally made the two emperors give up the war. After the external strife was resolved, the internal strife was quickly pacified and the country was unified. ╔ Urban Blood Wolf ╗ Emperor Taizu saw this, so he made a decree that no matter who is the emperor in the future, he must wear the dragon jade pendant on his body, and he said that this jade pendant is related to the national fortune of Liu State, if the emperor is lost, the vassal king or prince can ask the guilty teacher. As a result, some people said that if you get a jade pendant, you will win the world.

Also because of the matter of the princess of Jinguo, there is gossip that says that any woman holding this jade pendant will become a woman destined by the emperor to govern the country and calm the world for the emperor.

This jade pendant has been circulated among the people for a long time, but there are few people who have seen it, so the people don't know what this jade pendant looks like, and because of this, the shopkeeper of the pawn shop at that time will mistakenly think that it is an ordinary treasure in the palace.

King Qing also thought that the emperor left the palace for the sake of the jade pendant, this incident has happened for a while, but he only learned the news of the loss of the jade pendant recently, he has been hiding it before, and he must have sent a secret guard to look for it, but in the end he couldn't find it so he turned to him for help.

The whole team searched for the whole night until dawn, and there was no trace of the emperor. Today should have been early, but the emperor did not return to the palace. Since the emperor ascended to the pole, he has been on the morning of the fifth day, and the thunder has not been able to move all these years, and this is the first time that he has not appeared on the day when he should have been in the early dynasty.

When the courtiers stood outside the hall, Li Yuan announced loudly: "The emperor is infected with the wind and cold, and the wind evil has entered the body, and the emperor has a decree that the early dynasty will be canceled, and if there is any important matter, it will be handed over to the prime minister to handle on my behalf." ╔ Kidnapping, my husband is too shameless ╗"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers knelt down and shouted three long live.

King Nanjing stopped Li Yuan and asked with a smile: "Gonggong Li, don't be in a hurry to leave!" ”

Li Yuan knew that there was a smiling tiger in front of him, and he couldn't afford to offend, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "The slave is in a hurry to go back to serve the emperor, is there something wrong with the prince?" ”

King Nanjing suddenly asked in a cold voice, "What kind of illness does the emperor have?" I saw him in good spirits yesterday, why did he fall ill today? ”

Li Yuan is not a dry eater, although King Nanjing is menacing, but he also copes with it appropriately, Shi Li said: "That's the case, last night the emperor drank a glass of wine, and he felt feverish, and he actually walked back to the Qiankun Palace in thin clothes, and the cold invaded, no, he said that he had a headache before he got up in the morning, and passed on to the imperial doctor, saying that the wind evil had entered the body, and there were signs of high fever." ”

"Bastard, it snowed heavily last night, and you actually let the emperor wear a single clothes to go back to the palace? Something is going to happen to the emperor, and this king will take your dog's life. King Nanjing saw Prime Minister Gu coming over, and hurriedly scolded Li Yuan in a righteous and stern manner. ╔Military pet - the chief is so vigorous╗

Li Yuan pleaded guilty again and again, King Nanjing glanced at the prime minister, and said coldly: "Xiangye is now very relied on by the emperor, the emperor is sick, and the affairs of the court and the central government are not entrusted to his own brothers, but to you, presumably Xiangye has the ability to govern the country and secure the country!" ”

Prime Minister Gu frowned, and said lightly: "The prince is really good at laughing, eating the king's lu, bearing the king's worries, this is a matter of course, even if the old minister does not have the talent to govern the country and the country, he has been in the court for many years, and he has taken care of some state affairs, which is also within the scope of his ability." I still envy the prince, he has a heavy army in his hands, and the military is very powerful, he can do whatever he wants, and even dare to think about those things that he shouldn't think. It's just that the old minister still respectfully told the prince, the most important thing in life is contentment, the prince has so much today, he should also be satisfied, and then he asks for it, but he loses his sense of proportion, since ancient times, there are more people who have lost their sense of proportion for power, how many people are really successful? I hope the prince will think twice! ”

The prime minister's words can be described as a knife to the flesh. On weekdays, he would not say such a thing, but today he just wants to make him angry and not let him interrogate Li Yuan again. Although Li Yuan can also deal with it properly, this old fox is scheming, and he is afraid to see some clues.

King Nanjing's face suddenly became difficult to look at, and he sneered, "Okay, this king remembers Xiangye's words!" With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Prime Minister Gu gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Xiangye!" ”

The prime minister asked in a low voice, "Hasn't the emperor come back yet?" ”

Li Yuan's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "General Mo Li and Prince Qing have gone out to look for it, but so far, there is no news!" "After the emperor left the palace yesterday, Li Yuan notified Xiangye and King Qing.

The prime minister's face also became cautious, and he pondered for a while and said solemnly: "The emperor has never tried to go to court early for you. I remember one time, he was very sick and still insisted on going to the early court, and after the early court, he fainted on the white jade steps. He is so diligent, if he is not trapped or has an accident, he will definitely rush back to the early dynasty. ”

Li Yuan also agreed with his theory, it was really not that they wanted to think in a bad direction, but that they had followed the emperor for many years and clearly knew what kind of character their master was. It's so perverse, it's really never been before.

Now it is impossible to let King Nanjing know the news of the emperor's disappearance, and the best way to block all news is not to mobilize the palace guards and let the palace operate as before.

The prime minister suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Li Yuan, King Nanjing will definitely go to the Qiankun Palace in a while, and use the excuse of seeing a doctor to find out the truth." He must be suspicious, the emperor is not early, whether it is in the eyes of you and me or King Nanjing, it is too abnormal. ”

Li Yuandao: "Don't worry, let Princess Qingling lie on the dragon bed a long time ago, there is a smell of medicine in the dormitory, a heavy curtain, as long as we say that the emperor has taken medicine and slept, even if he is suspicious, he will not dare to step forward and lift the curtain to take a closer look!" ”

"Well done, you let the queen go over immediately, the queen is virtuous and clever, let her deal with King Jing, it should be no problem." Prime Minister said.

Li Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Yes, how did the old slave forget the queen's mother?" The old slave is going now! ”

The queen is the daughter of the patriarch of the Tu Han nationality, the Tu Han people and Liu Guo allied themselves to the Liu State, which is considered to be subservient to the Liu State.

The queen is smart and wise, and very steady, not touching the harem at all bewitching, ruling the harem for many years, and there has never been any major incident.

If Jing Wangqiang wants to go up to see it, the queen is afraid of disturbing the emperor's sleep, and it is not allowed, which is also reasonable, and she has this right.

The prime minister's expectation was indeed not bad, it was about noon, King Jing entered the palace to ask to see the emperor. The people outside the palace told King Jing that the emperor had taken medicine and slept, but King Jing had to break in.

When he returned home today, his henchmen told him that King Qing and Mo Li had been patrolling the capital all night with their troops last night, and they seemed to be looking for someone. And there was news from the palace that someone saw what looked like the emperor leaving the palace alone, but this news was unconfirmed. So he also struck while the iron was hot and entered the palace to see what was going on.
