There is the right gate of Chang'an on East Chang'an Street, and there is the left gate of Chang'an on West Chang'an Street, which is the main gate of the imperial city and the central government office outside the palace.

In front of the door, a huge stone monument was erected, with eight large characters engraved on it, 'Officials, etc., dismount here', and there were forbidden troops standing guard. Unless there is a special decree, no matter how many grades of the official residence and how high the title is, they must get off the horse and get off the car, walk into the Chang'an Gate, or go to the noon gate through the Tianjie, or go to the yamen of the various ministries by the thousand-step corridor.

And in the Hongwu Dynasty, when the Chang'an Gate was opened, the people were allowed to enter and exit freely, otherwise how to knock on the Dengwen drum placed outside the noon gate?

Of course, the palace is forbidden, and the people still have to be searched and interrogated to prevent anyone from plotting wrong.

Among the people waiting in line for passage, a gray-haired old man was hunched over his waist, and the bamboo hat on his head was extremely low, which attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers.

"Take off your hat." When it was his turn to be interrogated, Qianhu said in a deep voice.

The old man took off his hat as he said, revealing a bitter and bitter old face.

As soon as he saw that face, Qianhe's pupils shrank, and he felt that this was the person the Prime Minister was looking for.

He exchanged glances with the left and right. The subordinates also nodded slightly, obviously recognizing.

"What are you doing in there?" Qianhu asked casually while thinking about how to find an excuse to take him down.

The old man could clearly feel the ill intentions of these officers and soldiers, and he couldn't help but beat his heart faster. But the blood feud made him fearless, so he shouted loudly according to what the well-wishers had taught him:

"I want to sue the emperor and knock on the drum! Which of you would dare to stop it?! ”

There is a sound amplification effect at the city gate, and this voice is directly transmitted inside and outside the left gate of Chang'an, so that the civil and military officials who come in and out, as well as the common people, can hear it clearly.

"......" Qianhu froze there when he landed, why did he come out as soon as he came up? Just give him a whole can't do it.

As a result, he didn't dare to make any small moves, so he could only obediently let him go, and watched the old man walk in the direction of Daming Gate.

It wasn't until the figure walked out of the distance that he came back to his senses, and hurriedly whispered to the left and right: "Quick, go and report to Commander Hu......"

~~

In the study of the Prime Minister's House.

Hu Weiyong was furious for a while, and scolded his brother-in-law trembling.

After the seizure, he asked in a muffled voice, "Where is the little beast now?" ”

"God, Tianci is also scared, he doesn't dare to stay outside, and he will go back to Beijing with me." Li Gui whispered: "But I didn't dare to let him go home, let him cat at my brother-in-law first." ”

"He also knows that it's not easy to be afraid...... Hu Weiyong snorted coldly: "But when I go back to Beijing at this time, I will throw myself into the net, so you can quickly take him to Ningbo ......"

Saying that, he lowered his voice and said, "Ningbo Wei Commander Lin Xian has already set up with the Japanese. You will go to Japan for a year and a half, and when the limelight passes, I will call you back. ”

"No, brother-in-law, you are a dignified prime minister, as for this matter, don't you dare to let us stay in the country?" Li Gui said in disbelief.

"It's because I'm the prime minister that you can't stay in the country!" Hu Weiyong gritted his teeth and said: "The prince regards me as a thorn in his side, how many people want to bring me down?" If it weren't for the emperor protecting me, I don't know how many times I would have died! ”

"But the premise of the emperor's protection of me is that I can't break the law because of private matters." Saying that, a deep fear appeared on his face and said: "Because the state affairs are out of line, the emperor will turn a blind eye." Dynasty battles are inevitable in all dynasties.

"But because of the family offense, the nature has changed. And what the emperor hates most is the collusion and abuse of the people by the gentry! You've got it all! Hu Weiyong patted the table and said:

"Tell you, as long as you stab the court, I won't be able to protect you! Don't you run away now and wait for Lao Tzu to kill his relatives in righteousness! ”

"Oops." Li Guiwei agreed, and just wanted to ask his sister to intercede again to see if he could not leave. But I heard a quick knock on the door outside, and Hood's panting voice: "Uncle, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter?" Hu Weiyong asked in a deep voice.

Hu De pushed the door in, and said hurriedly without caring about closing the door: "Uncle, that old man Sun has entered the left gate of Chang'an!" ”

Li Gui's so-called use of 'brother-in-law's power' is nothing more than asking Hood for help. These days, it has always been Hood's search for people in Manjing.

But who would have thought that the old man would slip into Chang'an Gate under his nose!

"He's going to beat the drum!" Hu Weiyong's head buzzed when he heard this, Huo Ran got up, but he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Hood and Li Gui hurriedly supported him.

Hu Weiyong didn't care about the headache, grabbed his nephew's hand and asked, "Did you stop him?" ”

"No, no one dares to stop it......" Hood said with a bitter face: "Before the release, he couldn't get in for ten years, but didn't this just come out of that file." ”

"Alas......" Hu Weiyong sighed and sat back in his chair. He knew it was too late, but he didn't rush.

"Yes, this is the real purpose of their envoys to beat the drums...... he rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and said with a sad smile: "It's just to open the way for Sun Laohan."

"It's a wonderful drum beating. Not just to trap me, but also to keep people from getting in the way! ”

"Yes." Hu De nodded, and said depressedly: "Song Yushi and Qin Gonggong have just been killed by a live rod, and the people who replaced them have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they don't dare to mess around!" ”

"No, brother-in-law, just watching the person surnamed Sun enter the palace to complain?!" Li Gui reacted at this time, and shouted in a lost voice: "Then don't you completely blow the lamp and pull out the wax?" ”

"And what else do you want? Do you want Lao Tzu to rebel with you?! Hu Weiyong suddenly raised his voice, and said with a headache: "People's pawns cross the river as car envoys, generals, understand?" ”

"So, what about the general?" Li Gui asked dumbfounded.

"What else can I do? Lose the car and protect the handsome. Hu Weiyong was powerless.

Looking at Hu De's unkind gaze, Li Gui took a few steps back one after another, and said with a pale face: "I'll leave now, and I'll take Tianci to Japan!" ”

"It's late." Hu Weiyong shook his head and said: "The opponent is scheming and calculating, and he must be secretly eyeing the Prime Minister's Mansion." As soon as you run away, you will report it immediately, and you will not confess yourself, and the crime will be increased by one degree. ”

Saying that, he smiled sadly and said, "Not only you, but also Tianci will definitely not be able to escape." ”

There is still one thing he hasn't said, and that is that he can't run. Otherwise, how can I explain to the emperor?

"No, not necessarily." Of course, Li Gui didn't want to believe it. "Maybe it's not for my brother-in-law."

"Not for me? In fact, yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, they could let Sun Laohan beat this drum on any day, but they didn't do it until I came back. You said you didn't come for me? ”

Hu Weiyong said and looked up to the sky and sighed: "This is not only killing, but also punishing the heart!" ”

"Who did this, Lao Tzu killed him!" Hood roared angrily.

But it's just incompetent rage, there are only a few opponents of Prime Minister Hu, one counts as one, and killing him is like pinching an ant to death.

Li Gui collapsed directly, and said with a crying voice: "Woo, I don't want to die." ”

After that, he was going to run outside.

"Tie him up!" didn't run a few steps, and then heard Hu Weiyong behind him whisper: "There is still a godsend......
