The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 334
Sheng Xiangxun waited quietly in the outer hall of Qingyuan Palace. The door of the inner hall a few meters away from him was closed, and the emperor and the prince were having a secret conversation inside.

He didn't know the details of it, but he knew the contents of the secret letter handed in before.

Thinking that the little girl was still dealing with the bad guys in the suburbs of Beijing at this time, Sheng Xiangxun's heart was throbbing like a lifted bucket, making him restless.

"Eunuch Yang, look... it's getting late, otherwise, let me go out of the palace!"

Hearing the sound, Yang Xun glanced at the teacup that was still steaming, put on a smiling face for the sixth time, blocked it with a dust whisk, and said with a smile: "This is impossible, Mr. Sheng."

"..." Sheng Xiangxun scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously when he saw him obstructing him.

Walking a few steps to the most trusted eunuch of the Emperor Chengyuan, he smiled innocently and apologized: "Good father-in-law, you always pretend you didn't see me, let me go!"

"Hehe." Yang Xun was used to this move when he was five or six years old, and he was completely unmoved, "Unless you knocked our family out..."

Before the words were finished, I saw that Third Master Sheng had already rolled up his sleeves and went to move the vase.

Yang Xun: "???"

"Mr. Sheng, you can stop messing around!"

Yang Xun, who had reacted, was immediately annoyed: "You are in front of me, you can't mess around!"

Saying this, the door of the inner hall opened with a "squeak", and Emperor Chengyuan's loud voice came from inside: "Tell that kid to come in!"

Hearing the sound, Yang Xun quickly ordered the servants to take the vase away from Sheng Xiangxun's hand: "My third master! Hurry up and meet the saint!"

Sheng Xiangxun felt anxious. Seeing that he couldn't get out for a while, he could only shake his sleeves and walk in with his head bowed.

At this moment, he regretted so much, why did he go to see the prince first?
See you and see you, why did you let him be tied into the palace?

The lights in the inner hall were brighter than those in the outer hall. As soon as Sheng Xiangxun entered, his eyes flickered.

Seeing Emperor Chengyuan and the crown prince seated above, he saluted obediently.

When he heard the cry, he looked over with an expressive expression.

Seeing this, Emperor Chengyuan asked before he could speak, "Can Shuquan not sit still?"

Sheng Xiangxun nodded his head as if he was pecking rice, wanting to sell miserably and begged to leave the palace immediately.

Thinking that he didn't speak, Emperor Chengyuan snatched him again and said, "Then do you know why I won't let you go out?"

Sheng Xiangxun wondered how he knew, but he still shook his head obediently.

"This is the secret letter just sent by the supervisor of Taogui Academy." Emperor Chengyuan pressed the letter on the table with his hand.

Sheng Xiangxun saw that the emperor didn't mean to show him, and he didn't overstep the rules. He just wanted to ask if there was any news about the little girl.

But who would have thought that just as he opened his mouth, the emperor rushed to say again: "This letter, every word and sentence, does not contain a single truth; but according to the time and direction mentioned in it, replaced by numbers, after deciphering, every word and every sentence may not be true." It's the truth."

"..." Sheng Xiangxun's first reaction was that this was his little girl's masterpiece.

"It really looks like Sister Yuan's handwriting." Emperor Chengyuan smiled, "If I didn't make a mistake in the translation, she and Brother Yu have probably already figured out a way to enter the city."

After he finished speaking, Prince Jiang Huaiqian didn't hold back, and turned his head to look over.

Father didn't say this to him just now!
Facing the prince's gaze, Emperor Chengyuan snorted: "Have you ever read the secret language secret book compiled by myself? Here, I can say whatever I want to say, and you don't know if you don't say it."

Thinking of the so-called secret language secret book compiled by his father, the prince Jiang Huaiqian became dizzy and panicked.

To be honest, he would rather look through a dictionary because of the boring content of that book, which can be used as a brick for a city wall.

If he has the time to read the book, why not study a set of secret words by himself!

Of course, this slander is just a slander, he can't say it stupidly.

I can only show an introspective expression and say: "My son is ashamed!"

Compared with that little guy, Sister Yuan, he is really ashamed!He didn't even know how the little girl could see it!
"I have sent someone to pick her up in the direction of the outer city before, you just wait to meet her here."

Where can Sheng Xiangxun sit still?Just as he was about to invite himself to take part in picking up the child, the prince Jiang Huaiqian shook his head slightly at him.

Immediately, he calmed down a lot, and his heart turned slightly, guessing that the emperor might still move.

That's right, Yang Pangui's troops were staring at the outside of the city, the emperor was shocked twice, it was impossible for him to do nothing, I'm afraid the Duke Huguo's mansion has already been besieged at this moment.

The defensive forces in Kyoto, from the inner guards, to the cavalry of the Chinese army, to the north and south sentries, and the east and west battalions, these six troops have tens of thousands of people, and it is easy to deal with Yang Pangui, who has only ten thousand people.

Thinking of this, Sheng Xiangxun felt a lot more at ease. Looking at the emperor and prince who were also indifferent, he was already in the mood to consider whether to praise and praise the little girl calmly, or to cry according to his heart.

At this moment, a servant from outside the inner hall rushed to report: "Your Majesty, the leader of the inner guard came to report, saying that the family of the thirteen surnames in the city has rebelled!"

"What!" The prince Jiang Huaiqian's face changed, all the aristocratic families in Beijing were supporting guards, although on the surface there were no more than a hundred of them, but since they were rebellious, who knew if there would be some rebels who sneaked in secretly!
Emperor Chengyuan seemed to have expected it, and was not very shocked.

Until the second urgent report from the inner guard was sent to the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, civil strife broke out in the Central Army, the North and South Outposts, and the East and West Battalions. King Cheng also went with the three armies to quell the chaos!"

"Prince Cheng?!" The prince's complexion changed again, he really didn't expect this younger brother to appear.

"Bastard!" Emperor Chengyuan's face became more and more ugly, suppressing the anger of vomiting blood, and sent an order in a deep voice, "Lead the inner guards to lead people to quell the chaos!"

Sheng Xiangxun looked dumbfounded, and the scene of thousands of people fighting against thousands of people instantly appeared in his mind, and his hands and feet were cold.

As far as he knows, the large force of the Internal Guard has already gone to the hunting ground ahead of time, and the remaining two to three thousand people are still scattered throughout the entire imperial city. It may not be easy to gather for a while, let alone the other five armies. The guard may not be stable.If there is another internal strife, how much will be left for the imperial court and the royal family to quell the chaos?

In this way, how could the internal guards spare their strength to find Sister Yuan and the others!
no!Can't wait like this!

Sheng Xiangxun resisted the impulse, and waited until the servants faded away before he knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, please leave the palace to do my best!"

Emperor Chengyuan didn't know his real purpose, but at this moment he was not sure about bringing Sister Yuan and the others, so he didn't force them to stay, and waved his hand: "Yes."

Seeing Sheng Xiangxun leaving in a hurry, the prince Jiang Huaiqian was moved in his heart, and turned his head to ask his father, "I also ask my father, Yunerchen, to lead people to quell the chaos, so as to protect the safety of my father and the peace of the people in Kyoto!"

But this time, Emperor Chengyuan resolutely opposed: "The safest place in the imperial city is the imperial palace. I don't need your protection, you are here! The emperor's grandsons are all in the palace, so you don't need to go out! As for the people in the prince's mansion, I will Someone has been sent for protection. You should know that it is better to be still than to move, and the women and children in the mansion are waiting in place, which is far better than rushing into the palace."
