Chapter 103: The Undercurrent of the Imperial City (1)
The forces of the rivers and lakes have their own actions due to the affairs of Zhenjiang County, and earlier, the imperial city also fell into a brief panic because of the sound of the three bells, and nearly half of the courtiers respectfully asked to meet the emperor.
However, what made all the civil and military officials frown was that seeing that the sun was turning west, not only did the holy will not come out of the Xuanzheng Palace, but even the eunuchs who had entered the Xuanzheng Hall before did not appear after instructing them not to talk nonsense, and it seemed that the emperor was determined not to pay attention to the courtiers.
This made the civil and military ministers a little ugly.
Especially when they noticed that the princes had not even appeared in the early dynasty, their hearts were not only slightly cold.
can climb to the current position step by step, who among the civil and military courtiers is not a thoughtful person?
Now the prestige of the emperor of the court is unmatched, but the emperor said so...... Is this the fate of the king's doubts?
It's just that they don't know that not only the courtiers, but for a whole day, the most powerful man in the imperial city seems to have suddenly disappeared, and even the closest person, the emperor and queen, has not been able to find him.
......
The Imperial City is known as the city that never sleeps, with bustling streets and alleys, brightly lit houses, fleeting fireworks, and bustling pedestrians...... Looking from the top of the high pavilion of the imperial capital, the firelight candlelight and candlelight are all kinds of fluorescent and colorful, lighting up most of the sky, reflecting the majestic imperial city as bright as day, and it seems that the hustle and bustle in the day is also a little inferior.
On the walls of the majestic imperial city, Xiao Wutian stood with his hands in his hands, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the imperial city, silent, but his deep eyes seemed to be brewing raging waves, so depressed that people were frightened, and they were also calm and frightening.
"Emperor!"
On the other side of the city wall, a soft female voice suddenly sounded.
Xiao Wutian turned his head to look, and saw Ye Yuhan slowly coming from the steps, his face slightly tired.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, "Yuhan, how did you find it?"
Ye Yuhan exhaled lightly, "Emperor, where have you been today, why haven't you found anyone for a day?"
"Oh, I didn't go anywhere, I just went to meet the ancestors. Xiao Wutian smiled slightly and said softly.
"You ......" Ye Yuhan frowned slightly, and his tone was abruptly a little displeased, "What are you going to do to see them?"
Xiao Wutian smiled and gently took Ye Yuhan into his arms, "What, are you still blaming them?"
Ye Yuhan's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, but she didn't say a word.
Xiao Wutian was a little helpless, "Back then, if it wasn't for Feng'er who accidentally broke into the forbidden land, how could the ancestors have that kind of thought, after all, they have lived too long, they are not saints, and they will inevitably be greedy when they see good things......"
"But Feng'er is their junior, how can they have such thoughts?" Ye Yuhan suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xiao Wutian, with obvious anger in his eyes, and a little resolute in his always peaceful and weak voice, "Feng'er is my child, the only child, how can I forgive them......?"
"Okay, okay, that's my fault, I shouldn't have gone to them. Xiao Wutian was even more helpless, and he didn't wait for Ye Yuhan to finish speaking, hugged Ye Yuhan tightly, and compromised, "It's just to ask something, you know that there are some things they know much more than we know, and they will definitely not go next time." ”
"Hmph!" Ye Yuhan's brows stretched slightly, and he snorted at Xiao Wutianjiao.
Xiao Wutian hooked his lips slightly, "By the way, is there anything to come to me?"
Ye Yuhan's brows furrowed again, "What does the emperor mean by today's events?"
When Xiao Wutian heard this, the smile on his face suddenly retracted, "It's not interesting, Liu Ziyu is not a person from the secular world." ”
"But he is the emperor's teacher, and he is also Feng'er's teacher. Ye Yuhan was stunned, and then his brows furrowed tighter.
"So what?" Xiao Wutian said indifferently, "Hide Yijiazi, who knows what wolf ambitions are." ”
"How do you know?" Ye Yuhan looked up at Xiao Wutian, his expression froze, "You didn't know before, did you?"
Xiao Wutian said calmly: "Why do you say that, Yuhan?"
Ye Yuhan suddenly broke out of Xiao Wutian's arms, and looked at Xiao Wutian's calm and abnormal face with some fear. She slowly retreated step by step, and muttered, "Then why did you wait for three days before? Why did there be a three-kingdom joint meeting? Why did you ban Zhe'er and them? Why didn't you show up today?"
She was suddenly a little at a loss, "You already want to let Master Liu die, you want to force Feng'er to come back, you want to cover up the prophecy that has been circulating for thousands of years, you want to make the secular world chaotic, right?"
Xiao Wutian looked at Ye Yuhan calmly, and suddenly smiled slightly, but there was no longer the tenderness in his smile, "Yuhan, you really haven't changed at all, your mind is still so exquisite, it's really hard for you to be mediocre all these years." ”
Ye Yuhan shook his head slowly, the horror on his face became stronger, "Emperor....... Brother Tian, you ...... You've changed, no, you've changed a long time ago, you didn't come back to be emperor, did ......you? You...... You're going to hate you for the rest of your life!"
"Heh!" Xiao Wutian smiled indifferently, was he ruthless? He had already guessed it, otherwise how could he leave.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Wutian suddenly turned around and looked into the distance.
The lights are brilliant in the distance, and the night sky is covered with stars.
Everything is as beautiful as a dream!
He said softly: "Yuhan, you see how beautiful the night of this imperial city is, but do you think it is really so beautiful?"
......
Before the night faded, there was a commotion in the imperial city for some reason.
"What's the matter?"
At the door of the elegant and clean bedroom, a middle-aged scribe leaned out of the door and said to the gray-clothed butler outside the door.
"Master, news has come from the imperial capital, and the emperor has found it. ”
"Hello Shui, prepare official uniforms!" the middle-aged scribe looked stunned for a moment, and then shouted into the room.
"Hey, husband. A soft woman's voice was heard in the room.
"But ......" the gray-clothed butler hesitated a little when he saw this, "But the old man ......"
"If you have something to say, don't mother-in-law. The middle-aged scribe frowned at this.
The gray-clothed butler hurriedly said, "Master, it's not appropriate for you to go now." The imperial capital said, I don't know what's going on, as soon as the emperor appeared, the emperor and queen were sent into the cold palace, and the eldest prince was also grounded, don't you just hit the emperor's anger now. ”
"It doesn't matter. The middle-aged scribe waved his hand, "The emperor passed away yesterday, and now there is chaos in the court, if I still take care of these, how can I be worthy of the responsibility of the prime minister of the dynasty." Go prepare the sedan car!"
"Yes. The butler replied helplessly, and then turned and left the courtyard.
"Husband!" At this moment, the soft woman's voice in the room sounded again, and then a woman who was as gentle as water came out of the room.
The middle-aged scribe smiled helplessly, "Xi Shui, it's time for you to worry again." ”
The woman smiled softly, "It's okay, the concubine only hopes that her husband can go out safely and return safely." ”
"Hmm. ”
......
At the same time, a similar scene was taking place in several official residences in the imperial city.
......
In another equally solemn and chic Prime Minister's Mansion, the square-faced middle-aged scribe quietly listened to the situation in the imperial capital and smiled slightly, "Oh, I see." ”
"Isn't the old man going to go to the imperial capital?" said the groveling butler on the side.
"Hehe, loyal ministers or something, let Chen Cijun's hard bones go, your lord and I are still wise to protect our bodies, anyway, in the hearts of those people, I was originally a philistine, right?"
......
When Chen Cijun came to the Xuanzheng Palace, it was not surprising that dozens of civil and military officials had gathered in front of the palace.
"Zuo Xiang, you're here!"
"Yes, I'll be waiting for you. ”
"Now that the emperor has passed away, if you don't come, I don't have a bottom in my heart. ”
"Yes, yes!"
"What do you think about these things?"
"Now, the emperor is angry, what countermeasures does the left minister have?"
......
Seeing Chen Cijun from afar, a group of officials immediately rushed forward as if they had found the backbone.
Chen Cijun waved his hand at the group, "Gossip, I want to meet the emperor first to understand today's affairs, and I don't want to pay attention to the rest of the things. Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he strode towards the depths of the imperial capital.
Dozens of officials were stunned, but then reacted and hurriedly followed.
