After Cao Nai finished speaking, Gao and Zhang realized that they hadn't seen the emperor's shadow for a while.

Zhang Yi said: "Maybe I went to Xishan Wang Gong Factory again, right?" ”

The emperor handed over the daily government affairs to King Yu to take care of, except for occasional appearances on weekdays, the rest of the time, either in Wang Gong's factory to study new weapons, or stay in the imperial study to write and paint, everyone is now not surprised.

Cao Nai said again: "Have you noticed that King Yu behaved very strangely today, especially when it comes to the emperor......

Gao and Zhang glanced at each other, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and after being reminded by Cao Nai, they recalled that it seemed that this was really the case.

"I'm not afraid of the two of you're laughing, I'm just a little skeptical, and that's ...... Could it be for some reason? ”

Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Lord Cao, don't sell it, just say what you think!" ”

Cao Nai put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Not long ago, the emperor proposed to go to Mobei to inspect, but after being stopped by us, there was no movement, I thought that the emperor had changed his temper, but when I thought of the abnormal performance of His Royal Highness King Fang Cai, could it be...... The emperor is not in the palace at all? ”

After saying that, all three of them fell silent.

After a long time, Zhang Yi said: "Why don't I wait now and ask for the face saint to prove the truth?" ”

"No!"

Gao Hub waved his hand and said, "Today, when we mention the emperor, King Yu has already shown great impatience, if I go to face the saint now and let King Yu know, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?" ”

Zhang Yi said helplessly: "If the emperor is really not in the palace, but a few of us don't know, what do the officials think?" ”

Gao Hub thought for a while and said: "Whether it's true or not, it's not bad for half a day, the old man goes to urge you to urge, and tomorrow he takes the charter, and he has a reason to face the saint, and then the truth will be revealed!" ”

Zhang Yi said thoughtfully: "But...... Wouldn't it be too hasty to rush out the charter overnight......"

Gao Hub sighed and said, "So far, do you care if you are sloppy?" I met the emperor first, and then let's talk about the charter! ”

After the three discussed, Gao Hub found Chen Ruyan again and ordered him to come out with a charter the next morning.

Chen Ruyan was very puzzled, but when he saw his teacher's solemn expression, he knew that there must be something in it, so he didn't sleep all night and wrote a note of more than 3,000 words.

Early the next morning, when I went to court, I personally delivered it to Gao Hub.

After getting off the court, Cao Nai and the three of them came directly to the Wenhua Palace.

At this time, a few little eunuchs passed by, Zhang Yi seemed to know one of them, so he stopped to say hello, Cao Nai and Gao Hub were still thinking about the emperor's affairs, and they didn't pay attention, so they stepped into the hall first and presented Chen Ruyan's recital.

Zhu Qiyu was quite surprised and said, "It was written so quickly? ”

Cao Nai looked at Gao Hub and said, "The matter is big, and the ministers don't dare to slack off!" ”

Zhu Qiyu took a closer look, and the three of them thought about things in their hearts, so they waited quietly.

Finally, Zhu Qiyu put down the charter and said dissatisfiedly: "This charter is too rough to write, if the country is willing to cooperate, there is no problem in preparing like this." But what if the Japanese state is unwilling to cooperate? Even, what if the Japanese state was already in collusion with the Japanese and launched a war against our Ming Dynasty first? None of this may have been taken into account, and there was no foresight at all, and in the eyes of this king, this note does not look like it came from the hand of the cabinet. ”

Cao Nai coughed embarrassedly and said, "Your Highness is right, I'll think about it carefully when I go back, but it's ......"

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"For this matter...... I don't know what the emperor thinks? ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly sank his face again, and said: "You take out the charter, and this king will report to the emperor!" ”

Cao Nai wanted to insist any longer, but he felt that someone behind him was pulling his shirt, and when he peeked, it turned out to be Zhang Yi.

"Wait for the resignation!"

Out of the Wenhua Palace, Cao Nai asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you pulling me to do?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "No need to ask, the emperor is not here!" ”

"What?"

Cao Nai was suddenly shocked, looked around, and whispered, "Go back and say!" ”

Back at Wenyuan Pavilion, Cao Nai closed the door first, and then asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Just now at the gate of the Wenhua Palace, I saw a eunuch passing by, this person I know, is the Shangshan supervisor, so I casually chatted with him. ”

"Shang Shan Jian ......" Cao Nai suddenly realized something, and asked nervously, "What did you ask?" ”

"Alas!"

Zhang Yi sighed and said, "The emperor hasn't been in the palace at all, it's been seven or eight days!" ”

In fact, the matter is very simple, Shang Shan Jian is responsible for the emperor, the queen mother, the queen and the concubines' three meals a day, Zhang Yi pretended to ask the emperor what he has eaten recently and what his appetite is, the other party is not prepared at all, and directly tells the truth.

Since seven or eight days ago, no imperial meal has been prepared for the emperor, so the emperor is not in the palace at all.

Cao Nai was stunned, such a simple way, why didn't he think of it?

However, these are not the point, the point is that the emperor actually ran away secretly!

This...... It's unreasonable!

At the beginning, you said that you were going to go on patrol, and we agreed, but you have to come according to the rules of the Ministry of Rites, you can't say that you are going out of the palace, and you will go out with a whoosh, if something happens, who is responsible?

It's good now, I ran away without saying a word, and I hid it from everyone with King Yu, no wonder King Yu became weird, it turned out that they were all cheated by the emperor......

"No, I have to go back to His Royal Highness King Yu to reason, how can he do this?"

Cao Nai was angry, even if he wanted to return to the Wenhua Palace.

Zhang Yi stopped him and said, "The matter has come to this, what's the use of you going to find the king?" ”

"So what do you say?"

"What else can I do, chase it!"

Cao Nai thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Ministry of Rites now, and let's chase the emperor back!" ”

Zhang Yi stopped him and said, "Lord Cao, Lord Gao, now that the emperor is not here, you two must not leave Beijing easily, let me go!" ”

Among the four members of the cabinet, except for Yu Qian, Zhang Yi has been in the cabinet for the shortest time, so he will volunteer to go to Mobei to find the emperor.

Zhang Yi and Gao Hub glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "In this case, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

Now is not the time to be polite, let's chase the emperor back first!

Zhang Yi saluted Cao and Gao, turned around and went to the Ministry of Rites.

Hu Hu has already said goodbye, and the successor to the Ministry of Rites is the former military department secretary Kuang Yu, who is already sixty-five years old, and when he heard that the emperor ran away secretly, he suddenly couldn't take care of much, and hurriedly went out of the city with Zhang Yi and went north.

Since the emperor is inspecting Mobei, he will stay everywhere, and he can't go far for seven or eight days, and it's still too late to catch up at this time!

In this way, a team of Wenchen and domestic servants hurried out of Juyong Pass and came to the desert.
