Chapter Eighty-Four: The Emperor of the Imperial City
Eighty-three
Early in the morning, Wang Cen had just gotten up, and as soon as he arrived in the courtyard and moved his muscles, a servant hurriedly came to report.
"My lord, Lord Ye asks to see you. The servant outside reported. Wang Cen felt surprised, usually Lord Ye only comes to Anyang City at the beginning of spring every year, why did he come suddenly today, although he had doubts, he still nodded and asked his subordinates to invite Lord Ye into the living room.
"Lord Wang. Ye Siyuan's face was solemn, he looked at Wang Cen, raised his hand and gestured, sat on the chair, and said, "Lord Wang, Ye came here today because he had something to doubt. “
Wang Cen could also feel that Ye Siyuan's expression was not good, but he was afraid that something had happened. sat up right, put down the cup in his hand, and said, "Lord Ye, say." “
"The emperor sent a new envoy to Fuzhou, but that person is Wang Yi?"
"Yes. Wang Cen narrowed his eyes, it was impossible for Ye Siyuan not to know about this matter, and he also sent someone to report it.
"Emperor, did you only send Wang Yi over alone?" Ye Siyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Cen suspiciously. Wang Cen could find that there was still doubt in Ye Siyuan's eyes.
"Of course. Wang Cen paused and said: "Although Wang Yi's surname is Wang, it is not a whole road with the old man. In this peace, the surnames Wang and Xu are big surnames, just like Lord Ye can't suspect that the people surnamed Xu are all from Xixuan. Wang Cen touched his beard and said.
Ye naturally knew this. But that Wang Yi does. Ye Siyuan paused.
Wang Cen smiled, picked up the teacup next to him again, and said, "The old man thought that Lord Ye had encountered some problems, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Yi." “
Ye Siyuan ignored Wang Cen and said in a slightly mocking tone: "If there is only Wang Yi, it is still simple. But the person Ye felt troublesome was from Anyang City. Recently, there have always been people in Fuzhou who are secretly investigating my affairs, hmph, I'm afraid, this person's identity is not just a businessman. That's why Ye wondered if some people were doing it. “
"Oh, who is so powerful? Could it be that you dare to move Lord Ye's head?" Wang Cen didn't believe it, thinking that maybe Ye Siyuan had offended someone.
Ye Siyuan thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, I heard that the emperor has been sick for a long time? I don't know if Lord Wang has gone to visit the emperor? I have some precious medicinal materials in Fuzhou here, Lord Wang, can I enter the palace for Ye." “
Wang Cen is not stupid, so he naturally knows what Ye Siyuan means when he says this. He pondered, and put down the cup in his hand again. looked at Lord Ye and said, "Lord Ye is suspicious?"
"Eh, Lord Wang's words are wrong, Ye is worried about the emperor's dragon body, please Lord Wang fulfill the heart of Ye's courtiers. Ye Siyuan gave another hand to Wang Cen.
Wang Cen touched his beard, nodded and said, "What Lord Ye said is that the old man will enter the palace and visit the emperor." Wang Cen stood up. For Ye Siyuan's thoughts, he was also like waking up, and he was scared of a spirit.
"Then Ye is here waiting for Lord Wang's return. “
'Please. “
Maybe I was there when the accident happened. Or maybe the person who had the accident was Wang Jue, which was related to Wang's reputation. The cause of all this made Wang Cen a little reluctant to mention it, so he had an inherent understanding. Now think about it, if it was a bureau at the beginning, a bureau where the emperor wanted to leave the palace and wanted to go to Fuzhou to find out the truth, then the emperor's mind was indeed terrifying.
This thought couldn't help but make Wang Cen's back break out in a little cold sweat.
Will that be the case?
Wang Cen walked to the door, said a few words to the servant outside the door, and outside the door, he looked through the afterglow, and Ye Siyuan, who was sitting in the living room waiting for him.
If it weren't for what Ye Siyuan thought, it would be fine. If it was really what Ye Siyuan thought, he would have to do something.
Wang Cen was dressed in official clothes, and soon, he entered the palace.
The carriage followed its rhythm and walked forward without hurry. Wang Cen, who was sitting in the carriage, thought a lot, including whether such a sudden trip would be too sudden.
When Wang Cen was on the road, he thought about it. If it is as Ye Siyuan thought. The emperor has already left the palace, so the eunuch Wang Xi will definitely try his best to prevent himself from entering, or find a person with a similar figure to do perfunctory. This is very easy to see, after all, Wang Cen can be regarded as having grown up watching Long Xiang. Will the sudden visit at this time startle the snake?
If it weren't for Ye Siyuan's thoughts, the emperor was indeed sick, would the sudden visit disturb the emperor?
If it is not early today, the matter of the court will be reported in the morning. Now that there is no emergency, it is really not good to go so rashly.
Thinking of this, Wang Cen lifted the curtain and didn't speak, suddenly, a palace maid in cloth suddenly walked by the carriage, the figure made Wang Cen stop thinking, turn his head and look, familiar, but all the time, I can't remember who that figure is.
"My lord?" the eunuch driving the car called for Wang Cen's attention.
Only then did Wang Cen open his mouth and said, "Go to Mingfang Palace." “
"Yes, sir. “
Wang Cen thinks that since it is not appropriate for him to visit the emperor in the past as a courtier, then Wang Jue, the emperor's concubine, is natural and reasonable.
In Mingfang Palace, Wang Jue was unexpected, why did Wang Cen come so suddenly today.
"Uncle, why did you come in such a hurry?" Wang Jue, dressed in gorgeous clothes, asked lazily.
"Has the emperor summoned you recently?" Wang Cen waved his hand and said directly after retiring the palace maid.
"No, I haven't seen it since the emperor got sick. A few days ago, I also handed over a post, why is my uncle suddenly like this?"
"Oops. Wang Cen secretly shouted.
"What's so miserable?" Wang Jue still couldn't figure it out.
"Don't say it, you come with me to the Qiantian Palace, please see the emperor. Wang Cen said anxiously.
"Why?"
"Don't ask so much, just use your name to say that I got some precious medicinal materials outside and presented them to the emperor. No matter what, I will see the emperor today. Wang Cen said.
"Good, good. Wang Jue still didn't understand why his uncle was so abrupt and suddenly asked to see the emperor. Looking at his uncle's appearance, there should be something important, and he didn't dare to ask more.
I had to let Yuchun hastily prepare and get up the sedan chair towards the front heavenly hall.
In the palace, the butler was serving the best tea. But Ye Siyuan had no intention of drinking tea, let alone sitting down, just pacing back and forth anxiously. At this time, Ye Siyuan's entourage ran to Ye Siyuan's ear and whispered: "My lord, the news from Fuzhou that Miss Hongzhu has caught the person who passed from Anyang City. Lord Wang Yiwang left last night and went to Qianchuan, it is said that he went to visit his old man, and he was not in Fuzhou. “
After Ye Siyuan heard the good news, he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was difficult for him to run three fast horses for himself, and he drove for a day and a night to Anyang City.
Ye Siyuan waved his hand and sat down on the chair, and at this time, he was in the mood. looked at the teacup beside him, picked it up, sniffed it carefully, and saw that this tea was fragrant and smooth, and said to the housekeeper beside him: "This tea, the color is good, where is it?"
"Lord Ye likes it, I will let the next person pack some and take it back, this tea is rare, it comes from Donghu County, relying on Dongjiang, so it is only harvested once a year. The butler said flatteringly.
"That's a rarity. After Ye Siyuan tasted it, it was really fragrant, nodded, and said: "Sure enough, it's a good tea, Donghu County, isn't it where General Zhuge stays? “
"Haha, this subordinate doesn't know. However, if the adults go back to Fuzhou, they may meet the general. The butler said with a smile.
"Why?" Ye Siyuan's heart suddenly jumped and said.
"Lord Ye doesn't know, when the first emperor was still there, General Zhuge resisted Xixuan's Yin soldiers in Qianchuan, and won more with less, and I heard that his sister died in that battle. Therefore, General Zhuge will go to Qianchuan every spring, which can be regarded as worship and nostalgia. “
"Boom. With a bang, I only heard something explode in Ye Siyuan's mind. Ye Siyuan was blank, and he didn't even hear the teacup in his hand falling to the ground, let alone the housekeeper's call.
Qianchuan, before Zhuge Jun saved the first emperor, now. No wonder, no wonder, why did Wang Yi suddenly go to Qianchuan.
Thinking of this, Ye Siyuan stood up, strode out, and shouted outside the door: "Come on, go back to Fuzhou immediately, hurry, hurry!"
