The next morning, Zhao Ta drank tea in the back house, and Zhu Xiuniang hugged Xiao Zhao Xi to teach him to read poetry, but Xiao Zhao Xi was only a few months old, where could he learn, and he didn't know what he was saying with "babbling" in his mouth.

At this moment, the maid Hexiang trotted in from outside, and then said: "Lord, someone from the palace is looking for the prince, saying that the official family has a will to convey it, and it seems to be very urgent." ”

Zhao Ta raised his eyelids, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after getting up and teasing Xiao Zhao Xi for a while, he walked forward.

It was the eunuch Zheng Fu who came to deliver the decree, who had served him in the palace and never saw him, but when he saw him, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, you are here, you are in a hurry to die a slave......

Zhao Ta wondered, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

Zheng Fu said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it's not good, Emperor Maode is missing, the official family asked you to hurry into the palace to discuss this matter!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ta was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say?" Fokine is gone! ”

Zheng Fu hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, that's right, it disappeared last night, and I searched in the palace for most of the night, almost turning over the imperial city, but I still didn't find anyone!" ”

Zhao Ta's face was gloomy like haze, and he muttered: "The imperial city is still not small, are you sure you have searched all over it?" ”

Zheng Fu said bitterly: "Lord Wang, basically all the places have been found, after all, there are a lot of internal servants and soldiers in the imperial city, and the official family has given an order, even the concubines and palace ladies have also gone out to search everywhere, but there is no news." ”

Zhao Ta frowned: "Where can Fujin go?" It's not going to go out of the palace to play......"

Zheng Fu shook his head and said: "But no one saw the emperor go out of the palace, and the official family also suspected this after not finding the emperor, when the slave left, the official family arrested the soldiers guarding the outer gate and was asking!" ”

The corners of Zhao Ta's mouth twitched, and said, "Since this is the case, then go over with this king." ”

I got into the carriage outside the house, and it didn't take long to enter the imperial city, and then I came to the front of the Yanfu Palace of Yanfu Palace.

At this time, the doors of the palace opened, Zhao Ta walked to the steps and looked inside, and saw that Zhao Kai was also there, as well as Cai Jing Gaoyu, and the rest were the eunuchs in the palace and the leader of the forbidden army guarding the outer city of the imperial city.

Emperor Daojun was slapping the table and roaring, Cai Jing bowed his head and said nothing, Gao Yu was half-bowed and helpless, and the leaders of the guards and guards were all trembling.

"What do you want, what do you want!" Emperor Daojun jumped to his feet and scolded: "Emperor Ji can't find such a big living person, what else can you do?" ”

Gao Yu snorted: "Your Majesty, will the emperor sneak out of the palace, is it that those who guard the outer gate of the imperial city have not found out?" ”

Emperor Daojun looked at him: "Are you asking me?" Are you asking me! Aren't those soldiers all the men of your palace? How do you discipline it? If Emperor Ji really sneaked out of the palace, why didn't they know? ”

Gao Yu immediately didn't dare to speak, Zhao Kai said at this time: "Official, Erchen thinks that what Gao Taiwei said may not be possible, at this moment the palace has almost turned over, there is no shadow of the emperor, even if the emperor wants to hide, but always have to drink water and eat, these will leave traces, but now there is no trace, I am afraid that I really ran outside the palace." ”

Emperor Daojun said with a gloomy face: "Haven't you already interrogated the people who guarded the gates?" Not to mention the emperor, there were no palace people in the entire imperial city yesterday! ”

Cai Jing opened his mouth at this time: "Official, there is no one who goes out in the palace, so what about the people who come outside?" Could it be that someone entered the palace and smuggled the emperor out? ”

Zhao Kai heard this and said: "This is really possible, I just asked the palace where the emperor lives, it seems that the emperor doesn't want to marry, and he has spoken before, and he often sits in a daze these days, will he beg someone outside to enter the palace and take her outside the palace?" ”

When Emperor Daojun heard this, he slapped the imperial case and said angrily: "Who dares to be so bold and take the emperor out of the palace, isn't he afraid of exterminating the nine clans!" ”

Zhao Kai suddenly shrank his neck and said, "The official family can check who entered the palace yesterday and left again......

Zhao Ta slowly entered the hall at this time, and when Emperor Daojun saw him, he snorted angrily: "Emperor Maode is missing!" ”

Zhao Ta had already heard the words in the hall just now, and then he hurriedly said: "Official, this, how is this possible, could it be that it is in some hidden place in the imperial city, and it has not been found?" ”

Emperor Daojun exhaled and said, "Where will it be in the Imperial City?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Those pools, I don't know if I have seen them in the small lake, it can't be that I stumbled and fell, no one found out, right?" ”

Zhao Kai said beside him: "What King Qin can think of, could it be that the official family can't think of it?" ”

Zhao Ta spread his hands: "That is, I have checked?" I remember that there were a few small ponds where the water was not shallow, and the bottom could not be seen from above. ”

Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "It's not too deep, there are no people, it's just that the water is muddy, and all of them have sent people down, touching inch by inch, and there is nothing." ”

Zhao Ta sighed: "That's strange, where can Fujin hide?" ”

"Where to hide?" Zhao Kai sneered: "There is no one in the palace, naturally it was taken out by someone!" ”

Zhao Ta frowned: "Who is so bold as to dare to take the emperor out of the palace privately?" This is going to punish the Nine Clans! ”

Zhao Kai glanced at him and turned to face Emperor Daojun: "Official, when the ministers interrogated the soldiers of the outer gate before, they learned that King Qin had entered the palace yesterday!" ”

Zhao Ta squinted at him: "What does King Yun mean by this?" Do you suspect that I took Fojin away? ”

Zhao Kai said: "I only said that you entered the palace yesterday, but I didn't say anything else!" ”

"What a ridiculous!" Zhao Ta said in a cold tone: "If I take Fujin away, how can the soldiers guarding the door not be able to see it?" So when a big living person goes out of the palace gate, will no one see it? Could it be that the forbidden army of the front division of the palace is blind! ”

"Then who knows, King Qin's majesty has always been so great, maybe the soldiers guarding the door don't dare to look at it!" Zhao Kai said in a low voice.

"King Yun, do you say it again?" When Zhao Ta heard this, he immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves, and was about to run to Zhao Kai, but Zhao Kai was so frightened that he hurriedly hid next to the imperial book.

"Enough, what a noise!" Emperor Daojun grabbed a pen holder on the case and fell to the ground with a "snap", and suddenly the hall fell silent.

"King Qin, did you really enter the palace yesterday?" Daojun Emperor said.

"Back to the official's house, Erchen entered the palace yesterday morning to visit Niangniang, and left as soon as noon passed." Zhao Ta replied angrily.

"Oh......" Emperor Daojun frowned, he always felt that there was something wrong with this second child, he thought for a moment, and suddenly thought that this second child has always been deep, but now he is a little too excited.

This is not the character of the second child!

Emperor Daojun looked Zhao Ta up and down: "Since King Qin entered the palace yesterday, it can't be said that there is no suspicion at all......

"The official family, the sons and daughters entered the palace alone, did not take a car, and left alone, the military eunuchs on duty at the palace gate can see clearly, what is the suspicion of the child?" Zhao Ta said angrily.

"This ......" Emperor Daojun was a little unable to pick up.

"What's more, yesterday it was not a single son who entered the palace, from morning to night, I can't say how many people there are, if you want to care like this, everyone will be suspicious!" Zhao Ta said.

"Qin Wang Xiu has to take care of the left and right, and talk about other things!" Zhao Kai said next to the imperial case: "Yesterday, except for the farmers who sent vegetables, meat and rice in the morning to the palace gate, there was no one else, and no one entered the palace during the whole day, except for King Qin!" ”

Didn't two people enter the palace? Zhao Ta was stunned, was it a day off yesterday? He doesn't go to court, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to the date, if it is a day of rest, there is no early dynasty, no courtiers enter the palace, and Emperor Daojun will not summon people to come over to drink and feast when he is resting.

He frowned, this is really a wise man's thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, why didn't he think of this, otherwise he would take Fujin a day earlier or a day later, and there would be no such rights and wrongs.

Normally, the ministers of the early dynasty have to enter the imperial city, although they go to the Zichen Hall in front, but as long as they enter the imperial city, they will be suspicious, don't care about the evidence, as long as they come in.

And Emperor Daojun will call people to drink and have fun again, and those who come at that time will not be able to get rid of it, although his own family also enters the palace, but when he goes out, he is single, so it is impossible to be too suspicious of his own body.

But now ...... Just one of him who entered the palace yesterday? It's a little unclear, but fortunately, when I go out, I'm also alone, as long as I bite to death and don't admit it.

Zhao Ta looked at Zhao Kai and said coldly: "When I went out, I was single, and dozens or hundreds of people outside the palace gate were watching, and King Yun wanted to slander me!" ”

Zhao Kai said: "King Qin, don't quibble, I said that those eunuchs dare to take a closer look, I'm afraid that you used some tricks to take the emperor out!" ”

Zhao Ta was furious when he heard this: "King Yun, you dare to slander me, watch me teach you to be a man!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed over, and Zhao Kai was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Emperor Daojun, trembling all over.

Emperor Daojun was so angry that he was smoking, and the emperor lost it, not to mention that the two princes still had to fight, which simply didn't take him as an official in his eyes.

At this time, Cai Jing and Gao Yu saw that the situation was not good, and they both retreated to the side, and those eunuchs and guard leaders were even more frightened and overwhelmed.

Emperor Daojun was so angry that he stood up directly, wanted to lift the table but couldn't lift it, and waved his hand to knock all the things on the case to the ground: "Don't shut up yet, don't you want to rebel!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Ta stopped stupidly and said, "How dare Erchen, it is King Yun who slanders Erchen, and Erchen, as a brother, naturally wants to teach him a lesson." ”

Emperor Daojun was so angry that his beard straightened: "In the past, I was able to argue three points of truth, but now I will learn that rude behavior, what kind of system will it become, what kind of system it will become!" ”

Zhao Ta put down his sleeves and retreated, sullen.

Zhao Kai hid behind the dragon chair at this time and hurriedly said: "Father, father, there must be a ghost in the chest of this King Qin, he entered the palace yesterday, and this matter is absolutely inseparable!" ”

Zhao Ta glared: "You still say?!" ”

Zhao Kai was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak immediately, and Emperor Daojun took a deep breath: "King Qin, the emperor is not in the palace, and you entered the palace alone yesterday, how do you explain?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "The official family, how else can the sons and daughters explain? Yesterday, Erchen went out alone! ”

"The ...... who went out alone" Emperor Daojun couldn't help but have a headache, since he went out alone, there must be no problem.

"Father, it may be that King Qin is majestic, the people in front of the palace gate don't dare to watch carefully, they don't pay attention to it, and King Qin takes a horse into the palace, and then leads the horse away when he leaves the palace!" Zhao Kai muttered in the back.

"Huh?" Emperor Daojun frowned and looked at Zhao Ta: "Why did King Qin ride into the palace on horseback?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "The official family knew that Erchen was sick before, and he had not recovered long at the moment, and his body was weak and he was too lazy to walk. ”

Emperor Daojun was silent, and a puzzled look flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Kai hurriedly said again: "Father, in short, King Qin is suspicious!" ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him and sneered.

Emperor Daojun coughed, he also felt that Zhao Ta was not quite right, after all, only Zhao Ta entered the palace yesterday, and he was a little too aggressive now, but Zhao Ta went out alone, which is very difficult to ask!

At this moment, I heard Cai Jing say: "The official family ......"

Emperor Daojun looked at him and said, "What does the Taishi say?" ”

Cai Jing said: "The old minister thinks that this matter is strange, if the emperor is unwilling to marry the Weichen family, he can propose it to the official family, why hide it......"

Emperor Daojun's face twitched, the marriage was given by him, but now there is such a thing, he is the emperor, he has always been true to his word, and he can't help but feel a little lost at this moment.

Zhao Ta squinted his eyes and said: "Taishi's words are wrong, the emperor is just missing, her safety is uncertain, how can there be something hidden!" ”

Cai Jing didn't speak when he heard this, but Zhao Kai said: "The palace next to the emperor said that Fujin didn't want to marry, and he couldn't find it in the palace, so where did he go if he didn't flee outside?" I think it's the King of Qin who brought the emperor out! ”

Zhao Ta sneered: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, I leave alone, how can I carry Fujin?" ”

Zhao Kai said: "Only you entered the palace yesterday, and you are the most suspicious!" ”

Emperor Daojun saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his forehead, and said angrily: "King Qin, you really didn't take Fujin out?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "What is the son doing with Fujin?" Who does Fujin marry, what is the matter with Guan Erchen! ”

Zhao Kai said: "King Qin, you are lying!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "King Yun, don't accept to talk to me outside the palace!" ”

Zhao Kai said: "The gentleman doesn't move his hands......"

Emperor Daojun was as big as a bucket at this time, looked at Zhao Ta and said: "King Qin, you were the only one who entered the imperial city yesterday, and there was no one else, you, you may prove that you didn't leave with Fujin?" ”

Zhao Ta shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "Official, I went out alone, and the eunuchs and soldiers guarding the outer gate all saw it, how can I prove myself?" ”

Emperor Daojun slapped the table angrily: "Then what should I do?" Do you want me to send a command to the whole city to search for it? I can't afford to lose this man, and neither can the royal family lose this man! ”

The following is immediately silent, not to mention the royal family, it is the ordinary people, this is also a shameful matter, if it is an official family, it will be criticized, and even become a reason for attack, not to mention the Son of Heaven portal.

After a long time, I listened to Cai Jingdao: "Official, the old minister thinks that it is better to clear the suspicion of King Qin first, and then talk about whether to search the city or not." ”

Emperor Daojun said: "How to get rid of it? ”

Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ta, looking dizzy with old eyes, and said slowly: "As long as the official family sends someone to search the palace of King Qin and see if the emperor is not in the mansion, it will naturally prove whether this matter is related to King Qin!" ”

When Zhao Ta heard this, his face sank down, and he looked at Cai Jing and said, "Taishi Cai dares to say this?" ”

Cai Jing bowed his head and said: "King Qin forgives his sins, the old minister is also for the sake of the official family, for the sake of King Qin, otherwise where can the suspicion of King Qin be cleared!" ”

Zhao Ta said in a cold tone: "For my sake? Master Cai, don't regret what you say! ”

Cai Jing said in a hoarse voice: "The old minister is the Great Song Dynasty, for the official family, he has done his best, and he has never regretted it!" ”

"Good, good!" Zhao Tan sneered: "It's good if you don't regret it!" ”

Emperor Daojun was also in a dilemma at this time, and there was no direct evidence to prove that Zhao Ta had something to do with this matter, so it was always a little difficult to say that it was impossible to search the mansion of a prince like this.

But what if this was really done by Zhao Ta? This second child is a little wrong today, and he was the only one who entered the palace yesterday, so he really can't let go if he doesn't search.

"King Qin......" Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Ta and said: "Don't be angry, I let people go and see, if it is indeed not what you did, it is just to prove your innocence." ”

Zhao Ta was silent, and Emperor Daojun said again: "I let King Yun go, and then send the female official in the palace to take Gong'e there, it will be so convenient then." ”

Zhao Ta still didn't say anything, and Emperor Daojun took a breath: "It's so decided, King Yun will bring people over now, remember not to touch a single grass or tree in the Qin Palace, the back house is searched by the female official Gong E, and others are not allowed to step into half a step, whoever dares to go over will be killed!" ”

Zhao Kai immediately said: "Erchen has the order!" ”

After speaking, he walked towards the door of the hall with his head held high, and when he passed by Zhao Ta, he smiled and said, "Second brother, my brother has offended!" ”

Zhao Tayan sneered: "Third brother, be careful, there are some reckless men in my house, I have never been afraid of life and death, the third brother is too close to them, they don't recognize the third brother, and when the time comes, they can regret it if they are injured......"

"You!" Zhao Kai hurriedly looked back at Emperor Daojun: "Father, King Qin, he threatens his sons!" ”

Emperor Daojun said with a black face: "Hurry up!" ”

Zhao Kai had no choice but to turn around and go out, while Zhao Ta squinted, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at Cai Jing with a gloomy face......
