Chapter 146: Tricked into the Palace
The weather in early winter was a little chilly, Ye Yunyang came to Qiao Huaishan's shop, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Why is the street so deserted, you are also so deserted here, what happened?"
"Ye Houye, you are far away. Qiao Huaishan first hugged his fist at him, and then explained: "Before the prince Chen Gujun was killed, and the monarch ordered to find the real culprit behind the scenes, any form of entertainment was prohibited in the national capital. The gang of guys from the patrol of the Governor's Mansion took chicken feathers as arrows, and roamed the streets with fierce and vicious looks, forbidding pedestrians to laugh and laughing, prohibiting vendors from setting up stalls, saying that bargaining was disrespectful to the deceased, and whoever dared to violate the fine after being caught was light, and more than a dozen people had already been put in prison cells on charges of disrespecting the laws of the monarch. It's all like this, who dares to go to the streets, the business is extremely cold, and I'm ready to close the door for a few days to rest. ”
Ye Yunyang pursed his lips and said, "It's really a sin." ”
These words resonated with Shopkeeper Qiao: "Who said no, everyone is very sad when the son of the world dies, but the person is dead, even if the entertainment activities across the country are banned, he can't survive, the life of the common people is hard enough, and they can't withstand such a toss." Hey, you said that those Nanshan thieves are too, why do you have to kill the son, obviously you can't get along with our people...... Hey, Ye Houye, why is your face red, isn't it uncomfortable?"
The reason for Ye Yunyang's blush was very simple, the current situation was caused by him, in order to avoid more embarrassment, he said in a relaxed tone: "It may be cold outside, but you are hot inside, so you are a little uncomfortable." Don't say polite words, I'm here to sell the spirit map, a total of twenty pieces, all ten products, Qiao shopkeeper inspect the goods. ”
Qiao Huaishan took the twenty scrolls, opened one of them, and immediately exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is the Ten Rank Spirit Diagram, Ye Hou Ye is worthy of being the holy hand in the painting,"
"Thanks to Qiao's shopkeeper's praise, I dare not be ashamed. He said modestly.
Qiao Huaishan finished reading the first spirit map, and said: "Ye Houye's reputation is trustworthy, twenty spirit maps totaling one hundred square feet, according to the price we agreed before, I need to pay you two thousand taels of silver, do you think it is for cash silver or silver tickets?"
"Silver tickets, if you give me cash, I have to exchange it for a silver ticket, although I feel very comfortable with so much silver, the only drawback is that it can exhaust people to death. He laughs.
The silver ticket was in hand, the two sides completed the transaction, he declined Qiao's shopkeeper's offer to drink tea, and walked out of the store, there was not even anyone on the street, it was really boring, he decided to go back to the academy.
As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Ye Houye, wait a minute." ”
When I looked back, it was a few guys in eunuch suits, who were panting and running over, and he pointed at himself with his thumb: "You called me?"
The eunuch at the head said while panting: "We are the only one in Dongping Kingdom, Ye Houye, of course we are looking for you, we were originally going to the National Capital Academy, but we didn't expect to meet on the street, what a coincidence." ”
Ye Yunyang raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking for me?"
The eunuch replied, "It was the monarch who announced that you had entered the palace, saying that he had something to ask you, and that you would know the details when you saw the monarch, so come with us." ”
Could it be that he asked about the death of the prince? He was suspicious, he had already made it clear in the court before, why did the king summon him?
Forget it, don't think about it, it's impossible for the monarch to doubt himself, just go to see him generously.
"Let's go. He said to the eunuch.
"Okay. The eunuch bent down and made a gesture of please: "Master Hou, please first." ”
Ye Yunyang walked in front and asked inadvertently: "This father-in-law looks a little blind, why haven't I seen you?"
The eunuch bent down and followed, his eyes rolled around, and said, "You are a nobleman, our family is a slave, of course you will feel that the slave is blind." The few times you entered the palace, the minions were standing far away from the monarch, and they must have not noticed the face of the minions. ”
"That's right. Ye Yunyang continued to walk forward, but he felt more and more that something was wrong, not only the eunuch looked at him, why didn't he have the Imperial Forest Army with him?
In order to show the prestige of the monarch, when the decree is transmitted, a team of royal forest troops will be sent to follow behind the eunuchs, is it because his son died, and the rules were changed under heartache?
The rules have been formed over the years, and there is no need for the monarch to deliberately explain them, as long as a eunuch goes out to deliver an edict, there must be a royal forest army responsible for opening the way and maintaining order.
He glanced back suspiciously, and the eunuch hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
It seemed that there was really a problem, and he suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no, I was deceived by that profiteer just now! Half of the twenty spiritual maps are six square feet, and he settled with me according to five square feet, and he lost a full two hundred taels of silver." ”
"Huh?" the eunuch was stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.
He explained: "Ben Hou just went to the equipment shop to sell the spirit map, and the price he said was 20 taels of silver per square foot, and the old man only checked one and pretended to be generous, saying that the others did not need to be checked, and all the money was given according to the agreed price, but the one he looked at was a 5-square-foot spirit map, all according to the calculation of 5 square feet, but there were 10 pieces of 6 square feet! No, I had to go back to him to ask for money, 200 taels of silver is not a small amount." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, and the eunuch grabbed his arm and said, "Master Hou, the monarch is still waiting for you, and it will not be too late to ask for silver when you come back." ”
"No, that's a profiteer, and he'll definitely not admit it when I get back. He shook his head.
"But ......"
"You just said that you were going to the academy to find Ben Hou, and you happened to meet it on the street, and there was a difference of several miles between going to the palace from the street and going from the academy. He said with a straight face: "The monarch definitely doesn't know about this, thinking that you found me in the academy, so it's okay to wait a while...... It's a big deal, how about we split the money in fifty-fifty?"
When the eunuch heard that he could get a hundred taels of silver, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that he wouldn't waste much time anyway, so let's go.
Coming to the door of the store just now, Ye Yunyang told them to wait outside, and walked in alone.
"Master Ye, why are you here again?" Qiao Huaishan greeted with a smile.
Ye Yunyang lowered his voice and said: "Shopkeeper Qiao, I have a very important matter to ask you for help, you immediately send someone to the holy temple to find the high priest Dongfang Yixue, remember that this name is Dongfang Yixue, she is the granddaughter of the priest of Dongfang Pingtai, tell him that I was summoned to the palace by the monarch, if I can't go back to her within an hour, let her tell her grandfather about this matter Dongfang Priest, remember?"
Qiao Huaishan didn't know what his purpose was in doing this, but he still readily agreed: "What kind of guy to send, the old man will personally run for the Hou Ye, you can rest assured, I will definitely bring your words." ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper Joe, you can go out when I'm gone. Ye Yunyang said solemnly.
"Master Hou is polite, don't worry about me being seen, I'll go through the back door. Qiao Huaishan is colorful.
Ye Yunyang gave a thumbs up, then turned around and said to the eunuch who was looking at him at the door: "I'm sorry, I remembered it wrong, the twenty pictures are all five-square-foot spirit maps, and the people didn't miscalculate the account, so my father-in-law waited for a long time." ”
"Huh?" "The eunuch was disappointed, what about a hundred taels of silver, and he had thought about what to buy when he got the silver, and now it was all in vain.
Of course, he didn't dare to complain, so he had to say with a smiling face: "Or the old saying is that nobles forget things, it is precisely because you are a nobleman, so you will remember wrongly, then let's go to the palace quickly, don't let the monarch wait." ”
"Okay. Ye Yunyang nodded, he deliberately slowed down the speed of walking, it was originally only ten minutes away, he walked leisurely for almost twenty minutes, and the eunuch didn't dare to urge, so he could only follow respectfully, I don't know how many times I wiped my sweat along the way.
It wasn't until he arrived at the gate of the palace that the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Hou, since the monarch is under the edict, the guards guarding the palace gate don't know, so I have to trouble you to show the badge of the national soldier, otherwise you won't be able to enter." ”
He said impatiently, "Is it so troublesome?"
The eunuch hurriedly explained: "The monarch also considered that you can walk in the palace at will, so he didn't make an edict, don't mind." ”
He blinked: "I don't seem to have a badge with me when I go out." ”
"Huh?" the eunuch's eyes widened, "how can you not have a badge?"
He shrugged: "I'm out to do business, and I don't plan to enter the palace, why do I bring a badge? Okay, okay, I'm playing with you, I'll take the badge with me." ”
He took out the national badge from his pocket, and the eunuchs were about to cry: "Master Hou doesn't take you like this, the minions are about to be scared to death by you, let's hurry up and enter the palace." ”
Showing his badge, he was allowed to enter, and after entering the gate, he changed to follow the eunuch inside.
After walking for more than ten minutes in one breath, the eunuch didn't mean to stop, and then it seemed to be the harem, he remembered that there seemed to be a rule that foreign ministers could not enter the harem, and then asked.
The eunuch explained: "The monarch was so grieved by the death of his son that he did not go to the Qinzheng Hall and the study, and specially explained that he would summon you in the harem. ”
Ye Yunyang felt more and more that something was wrong, the harem was inhabited by princesses, princesses and other female dependents, except for the monarch himself, the men who could appear here were all eunuchs with a small **, and I had never heard of outsiders in the harem.
He immediately stopped and said, "Father-in-law, why does Benhou think that you are leading me to jump into the fire pit, and the monarch really wants to summon me in the harem?"
The eunuch's face changed, but he immediately smiled: "Hou Ye is really a smart person, or you have seen through it, but you may not know, even if you stand here and do not move, you have already committed the great crime of defiling the court, because this place is already a harem!"
After speaking, he suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone, someone has trespassed into the harem, intending to mistreat the princesses and female dependents, where are the palace guards, come and arrest this thief, and correct the law of the country!"
Ye Yunyang's eyes widened, your sister's is really a pit!
I'm afraid that someone else will be stupid, and he will run away, as the saying goes, catch a thief and catch a stolen goods, as long as you run away before the guards arrive, the master will never admit that he has entered the harem.
However, he was very sad to find that dozens of guards from the Xuanguang Realm had surrounded this place, and there were several masters of the Cultivation Yuan Realm mixed in with it.
At the same time, a carriage with ordinary decoration entered the capital, driven by an old man, whose hat was pressed so low that only half of his face below his nose could be seen.
A girl's unique voice came from the car: "Master, we have finally come to the capital of Dongping Kingdom, it is so inferior here, the city wall is so low, and the streets are so narrow...... And there was not even a person on the street, no wonder Ye Yunyang would sigh at the prosperity of people's capitals when he was in Cao Kingdom. ”
The old man is Gu Zhengxiang, and the little county lord Liu Yuying is sitting in the car, these days the emperor's grandfather has been grinding hard and hard, and finally got the opportunity to come to Dongping Kingdom, her excuse is to find Ye Yunyang to learn volley talismans and illusion broken jade hooks.
Gu Zhengxiang turned around and asked, "Are we going directly to the National Academy?"
The little county lord poked out half of his head and said, "What are you doing at the National Academy, aren't we here to find Sister Dongfang Yixue, I heard that she has returned to the Holy Temple to take up her post, of course we are going to the Holy Temple." ”
The old man shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart that he was obviously looking for Ye Yunyang, but he had to say that he was looking for Dongfang Yixue, the good apprentice was really not well-behaved, when did he learn to cover up?
