Prime Minister

Chapter 390 Trap
this day.

Zhang Yue is on duty in the ceremony courtyard.

On weekdays, Zhang Yue is on duty for one day every four days, and every day when he is not on duty, he will come to sign the pledge. If there is nothing in the palace, he will drink tea with Lu Xiaqing in the ceremony courtyard.

Zhang Yue was sitting in the hall, when suddenly someone from the palace summoned him, saying that it was all about Jing Yan, and Zhang Yue was invited to the palace.

Zhang Yue didn't think much about it, now that the official family fell ill, Han Qi told them that the attendants should be more cautious and accept orders to enter the palace at any time.

Zhang Yue glanced at the other party and asked: "Why do you look so strange, don't you usually work in the Jingyan House?"

The other party smiled and said: "The villain is usually working in the Royal Medicine Academy, but he was transferred to the Jingyan Hall a few days ago."

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "It turned out that he was working in the Royal Medicine Academy, so why did he go to the Sutra Banquet?"

Zhang Yue asked the question casually, without pointing at the other party to answer.Fang Yan said: "The villain hated the superiors, so he was sent here."

Zhang Yue nodded thoughtfully and said, "I remember that the Royal Medicine Academy is the business of Princess Ren."

The other party's expression was slightly strange, and then he hurriedly smiled and said: "That's right, alas, no wonder the palace said that Mr. Zhang is really approachable and has no airs. If it's true, how can any other high-ranking official be willing to say these things to a villain like this? Not even looking straight in the eye."

Zhang Yue has a habit of often chatting with people in the palace, regardless of their origin, even if they are sweepers.

This is due to Zhang Yue's personality. At the same time, he learned from the older generation of revolutionary workers on TV that he must mingle with the masses wherever he goes.

Scholars are often high-minded, often lacking in human touch, which is a taboo in the mixed workplace.

Hearing the other party's flattery, Zhang Yue was naturally happy to explain a few business matters to the court officials. Most of the yamen are like this and it is not difficult.

Zhang Yue walked out of the official office and ordered Zhang Gong to set up the car, and said to a servant: "It's very cold to go out today, you go back to the house and ask Tang Jiu to personally send a winter coat to Xuandemen and wait for me."

The other party was slightly embarrassed, Zhang Yue looked at the other party and said: "I won't miss your errand."

The other party laughed dryly: "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid it's not good to wait for a long time."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "That's right, I don't know how to call my father-in-law?"

The other party said: "The villain's surname is Xu, and his humble name is Taiji."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Okay."

Immediately Zhang Yue got into the carriage, and the eunuch Xu Taiji saw Wang Gong Kongwu's powerful appearance, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances, Zhang Yue saw this scene in his eyes.

Get off the carriage at Xuandemen.

Xu Taiji beside the car said, "Go to Dongbiankou."

Zhang Yue asked, "Why don't you take Xibiankou?"

Xu Taiji said with a smile: "Your Majesty forgot, the way to go to the Jingyan Hall today is naturally closer from Dongbiankou."

The Yinger Pavilion of the Jingyan Palace is in the Chongzheng Hall, which is to the east of the imperial palace, but Zhang Yue used to go to the west when he entered the palace to attend the Jingyan banquet. He first went to the Zhengshi Hall to meet Zhongshu, and then went to the Chongzheng Hall.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I missed it. But I told someone to wait at Xibiankou with winter clothes. Let's go here to get clothes first."

Xu Taiji didn't dare to disobey, and immediately followed the chapter to Xibiankou.

Zhang Yue came to Xibiankou, but saw that the entrance and exit gate was closed.

There are a lot of people in Xibiankou, and officials often go in and out of this place to report to the prime minister in the Zhengshitang. As for the prime minister, he can also pass through the Xuande Gate in a carriage and get off, but today the gate is closed.

At this time Tang Jiu happened to be waiting outside the door with his winter clothes, and Zhang Yue winked at him.

The carriage went to the east gate again.

The reason why it is called the side gate is that it is not facing south. Zhang Yue saw a row of gatekeepers standing beside the gate holding bones.

After Zhang Yue walked into the Dongbian Gate, an imperial soldier came forward and said: "Officials are not allowed to bring followers with them in the palace."

Tang Jiudao: "We are all servants, not ordinary followers. Besides, I have been in and out of the palace many times in the past, and there is no rule not to allow servants to enter."

The imperial soldier said: "Where did the old rules come from? Now that there is something going on in the palace, restricting access is naturally not allowed."

Xu Taiji laughed and said: "Dr. Zhang did say that, it's not unusual now."

Zhang Yue nodded: "Forget it, Tang Jiu, Zhang Gong, you go back first."

Both Xu Taiji and the imperial soldiers showed relief.

"This way, Mr. Zhang, please!"

In front of him was a high palace wall and a deep palace courtyard, Zhang Yue nodded and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and hurriedly said: "It's broken, I left a letter on the car, I'll go back and pick it up. "

Zhang Yue walked quickly, Xu Taiji changed his expression and chased after a few steps: "It's too late for Mr. Zhang to enter the palace at this time, why don't you let someone else pick it up."

Zhang Yue said: "This matter is a secret of the imperial court, so no one is allowed to watch."

After finishing the chapter, the pace became faster.

The left and right imperial city soldiers wanted to stop them, but Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong were easy to get along with each other, so they immediately stopped in front.Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong are both powerful people in Kong Wu, and they have practiced martial arts for many years. Although there are many soldiers in the imperial city, they were pushed away by the two of them.

Amid the urgency of the crowd, Zhang Yue hurried out of the east gate and got into the carriage with the help of the official hat. When he saw Zhang Gong and Tang Jiu following him, he hurriedly drove the carriage.

So in a group of people chasing after him, Zhang Yue just left the palace gate.After resting for a while, Zhang Yue regained his composure when he saw that no one was chasing him.

Tang Jiu and Zhang Gongqi asked: "What should I do, Master?"

Zhang Yue said: "Go to Xibianmen."

Immediately Zhang Yue went to the west side gate, and after the door opened, he and several officials who entered the political affairs hall took Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong together to the political affairs hall.

Zhang Yue did not go directly to Han Qi, but to Ouyang Xiu.Ouyang Xiu was suspicious after hearing this: "Is there such a thing?"

"Which palace official is so bold, dare to intercept the attendant. What is the intention?" Ouyang Xiu was a little disbelieving.

"It's true that the palace never issued an order not to allow Jue Cong to enter the palace, but could it be that the Secretary of the Imperial City passed on the wrong news?"

Zhang Yue said: "Go to the Jing Banquet Hall, find an eunuch named Xu Taiji in the Imperial Medicine Academy, and you will know the truth."

Ouyang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Follow me to see Han Gong."

Ouyang Xiu reported the matter to Han Qi. After Zeng Gongming, both of them were skeptical.

"Introducing him into the palace and kidnapping the attendants is too strange."

"However, it is true that there is no arrangement for Bachelor Zhang to enter the Jingyan Hall today." Zeng Gongliang said.

When Zhang Yue heard the words, he had no doubts, and said to Han Qi, the leader: "I also ask Mr. Han to be fair."

Han Qi caressed his beard and said, "Go immediately to the Jing Banquet Hall and the Imperial Medicine Academy to ask if there is someone named Xu Taiji? Then go to the Imperial City Division and ask who is the official on duty today? Call them to the Political Affairs Hall together!"

Han Qi said to Zhang Yue: "You wait here first."

After speaking, Zhang Yue retreated to the door and sat down. Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang continued to discuss matters. After half a hour, the ministers came to report one after another.

"Reporting to Mr. Xu Taiji, there is no such person as Xu Taiji in the banquet hall or Imperial Medicine Academy."

"Sir, the official on duty at Dongpian Gate has just returned to his hometown for the funeral."

Han Qi slammed the case and said angrily: "The country will undergo great changes, and there will always be these demons and ghosts running rampant everywhere."

Zhang Yue was also afraid at the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have suffered a lot after entering the Dongbian Gate.

It is absolutely impossible to kill yourself, but it is inevitable to be punched or humiliated.

It was true that Han Qi was furious at the moment. This matter was related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this move clearly did not take him as a prime minister seriously.

Seeing Han Qi's angry face, Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu said: "Han Gong calm down."
