Chen Cijun's more than a dozen officials all had the intention of kneeling and begging for half the night, but they didn't expect that the eunuch, who didn't have much time to report, quickly beckoned a group of people into the Heavenly Oracle Palace.

This made all the officials feel that the emperor seemed to have expected them to come, and was waiting for them to come.

As a result, the ministers who were originally full of excitement lost their confidence inexplicably, glanced at each other, and then entered the main hall in turn.

Half an hour later, a group of more than a dozen people walked out of the Heavenly Oracle Hall with gloomy faces, their expressions complicated.

There were even two ministers who wept bitterly as soon as they left the Heavenly Oracle Palace.

He is a giant, representing the spirit of the literati, a saint in the hearts of the literati, and an emperor who has done his best.

But he had ulterior motives, and he was a wolf's ambition.

How so?

So what did the literati worship before?

A joke?

Chen Cijun looked up at the faint light of the distant sky, and he was also a little confused in his heart.

Is Liu Shi actually an innate realm?

Without the power of a chicken, how can Master Liu be a congenital master?

How could the old man who would faint after kneeling for a long time be congenital?

But if not, does it make him suspect that the emperor is lying?

But Liu Shi has passed the age of antiquity, but he is a sixtieth year, how to understand?

No wonder the emperor would have trouble keeping him!

Yes, the emperor is suspicious, how could he allow such a person who has been hidden for nearly a jiazi to survive in the world?

But that is the emperor, the emperor who is loyal to the liver and courage, the emperor who is loyal to the country and the people, and the emperor who rings the alarm bell for the country and the country, how can he have intentions? Otherwise, why did he go into hiding, why did he resign, and how could he go to the top of the roof?

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Cijun retracted his gaze in confusion.

For the first time, reason and imperial power, the prime minister of this huge empire had doubts.

......

Although it was bumpy for nearly a month, Xiao Yi did not feel tired at all, but was extremely excited.

Due to the limitation of talent, although Xiao Yat has the status of a side of the royal family, he is incompetent and incompetent, he actually has no right to speak in the court, and the governor is just an idle position, which is completely dispensable.

But who doesn't want to be promoted to a knighthood, who doesn't want to make a big difference, who doesn't want to go down in history, and who doesn't want to have a big backer behind him that no one else can provoke? Although Xiao Yi has been mediocre for most of his life, he also has some self-knowledge, but he has thought about all of this.

So when the person who claimed to be the ethereal tower asked Xiao Yi to lead Li Yun to the imperial city and took out a token to say that he could talk to the eldest prince directly based on this, Xiao Yi felt that he was really here.

Who did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have the closest relationship with in his early years? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really did not plan to come back, with the emperor's attitude towards the princes, which prince would he choose as the next prince? Although the ministers of the court did not say anything, they all knew in their hearts that nine times out of ten it was the eldest prince Xiao Zhe.

So suddenly there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his little-known self to connect with His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who may be the future prince, how can Xiao Yat not have some illusions?

Carefully handing over the jade pendant, which the blue-shirted young man called a token, to the guards guarding the door of Jixian Palace, Xiao Yi began to fantasize so much about his future career that he didn't even listen to the guard's instructions before entering.

After a while, the guards who went in still didn't come out for a long time, Xiao Yi finally calmed down, and began to think about another possibility, and by the way, he also thought of many possibilities that he had never thought of before, such as the token is not a token, but a talisman, and for example, the people in the Ethereal Building are all playing by themselves, and ......

"Governor Xiao, why are you here?" Just as Xiao Yi thought about it, the more cold his heart became, and between the cold sweat behind him, a cold female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Xiao Yi hurriedly turned around, and saw a noble woman in a light yellow Luo skirt looking at him strangely, and there were two rows of pink-clothed palace maids behind her.

He sighed in his heart, and fell to his knees with a 'poof', "Weichen Xiao Yi, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Third Princess!"

Xiao Chenxue frowned slightly. Although this Xiao Yi is mediocre and incompetent, he is also decent on weekdays, and he has never been so reckless and rude. Looking at his panicked appearance, it seems that something is really happening outside. Since he came to find the eldest emperor, it is either related to the eldest emperor, or it is related to the six emperors.

Thinking about it like this in her mind, Xiao Chenxue's expression was still faint, "You haven't answered Bengong's question yet." ”

Xiao Yicheng was terrified, "Weichen has something to meet His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”

"What?" Xiao Chenxue said indifferently.

"This ......," Xiao Yi hesitated.

At this moment, the guard who went to report walked out of the Jixian Palace, and when he saw Xiao Chenxue, he hurriedly bowed, "I've seen Your Highness." ”

Xiao Chenxue nodded, "Excuse me!" Then her gaze fell back on Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi hesitated, glanced at the guard, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Wechen went to Anyang County to meet the person from the Ethereal Tower, and asked Wechen to meet His Royal Highness the Great Prince with a token, saying that His Royal Highness the Great Prince will understand when he sees the token." What the specific thing is, Weichen doesn't know. ”

"Well, what about the token?" Xiao Chenxue continued.

"In ......," Xiao Yi glanced at the guards who had just gone in again, "I should have taken it in." ”

The guard hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and held the jade pendant high above his head and presented it to Xiao Chenxue, "Your Royal Highness, the emperor has an explanation, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is not allowed to visit anyone during the period of the confinement, and nothing is allowed to pass in." ”

Xiao Chenxue hooked her lips slightly, picked up the jade pendant casually and looked at it, and there was a different color in her beautiful eyes that flashed. Immediately, she put the jade pendant into her sleeve casually, "This jade pendant is accepted by the palace first, and when I see the eldest brother another day, I will help Governor Xiao convey it." Is there anything else going on with that?"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Yi sighed secretly in his heart, but his face was still solemn and respectful, "Weichen also brought back a young man from this trip, who was the son of the county magistrate of Anyang County, and was also brought by the people of Piaoyilou." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Chenxue was a little surprised, "What kind of person actually let the people in the Immortal Mansion specially advise you? You brought it to the palace another day, can you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" Xiao Yi nodded hurriedly.

"Well, keep your mouth shut. Xiao Chenxue said lightly, seeing Xiao Yi nodding again, she waved her hand, "Okay, then you can retreat without courtesy." ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Yi hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, and then stood up in fear and left backwards. He stumbled as he left, almost leaning back.

Xiao Chenxue watched Xiao Yi leave a little embarrassed, and smiled slightly, but her eyes were a little strange. If she remembers it well, the jade pendant should be a congratulatory gift from the eldest brother on the fifth birthday of the sixth emperor brother, but ...... How could it be in the hands of the people in the Floating Tower? Could it be that the Sixth Emperor Brother really joined the Floating Tower? But is that proud, so sharp, and such a peerless young man really willing to be subservient to others?

......

The imperial capital is heavily guarded, and there are many eyes and ears, and although the matter in front of the gate of the Jixian Hall is small, it is difficult to escape the eyes and ears of some people.

Before Xiao Yi walked out of the imperial capital, what happened in front of the gate of the Jixian Palace had already been transmitted to several palaces in the imperial capital word for word.

In the Heavenly Oracle Palace, Xiao Wutian calmly listened to the secret guard's report, his expression seemed to be smiling, and after listening, he waved his hand at the black-clothed dark guard kneeling in front of him, "Well, continue to watch." ”

"Yes!" the black-clothed guard replied respectfully, and the next moment he disappeared.

Xiao Wutian smiled slightly, and said abruptly: "Seventeen, go to Xiao Yi to see who it is, and then don't pay attention to it." ”

"Understood!" a respectful voice echoed in the shadows.

Immediately, the Heavenly Oracle Hall fell silent again.

......

In the Yuxuan Palace, Xiao Yu yawned lazily after listening to the report of the person in the shadows, "Oh, then you let the two of you look at the third emperor sister, the person sent by the sixth brother should not be a stupid person, don't try it yet." ”

"Yes!" said the shadows again.

.......

In the Wenxu Palace, Xiao Wen listened to the respectful reports of the people in the shadows, while teasing the caged thrush at will, and said casually: "Well, you go down, it is estimated that someone will help the palace do what the palace wants to do, and the palace will not mix it up first." ”

"Yes!"

"Oh, by the way, where are the people of the second emperor brother, why hasn't there been news yet?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, and the people of His Royal Highness the Second Prince will not be able to find anyone when they leave the imperial city. ”

"Oh, it's fine. Xiao Wen waved his hand casually, "Anyway, it will come sooner or later, this palace is not in a hurry." ”

......

In the imperial capital, each has its own time due to the little news brought back by Xiao Yi, and several places in the imperial city are also secretly arranged due to the sudden death of Liu Ziyu, not only Yu Zijie's efforts to win people's hearts, but also many more.

It's just that the bureau of the non-rulers can only be regarded as a small game after all, and for most people, what is planned is just the details of the division after the death of the emperor.

Money, power, status, people's hearts...... In this prosperous and majestic imperial city in the eyes of ordinary people, the unattainable imperial capital is addicted to not only the sinister hearts of the people, but also the undercurrent
