[Probably due to the sequelae of perfect attendance, I have been unable to get into shape these days...]

Outside Donghua Gate.

Chen Tuo quietly rubbed his palms in his long sleeves, turned to look at Jiao Shun standing beside him with his hands hanging down, swallowed dryly, and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his head went blank.

He has been an official in the capital for several years, but the chances of seeing Tian Yan are less than five fingers, and the number of officials and people present every time has never been lower than three digits, and it is still a relatively low three digit number.

Who would have thought that such a cold-blooded person would go into the palace to see the saint alone!

Hmm~

Not to mention that Jiao Shun was from a lowly background, and he only knew some ingenious and obscene skills that were difficult to achieve in the palace. Compared with the eunuchs in the palace, he was just an extra gadget, so there was nothing wrong with the idea of ​​meeting the saint alone.

Although he had been frightened by Jiao Shun's words before, how could he allow himself to be frightened by a lucky minister who was born a domestic slave?

Therefore, on the way, he re-constructed his three views and regained the mentality that "everything is inferior, only studying is superior".

To be honest, Chen Tuo was worried for a long time on the way, fearing that he would be turned away. After all, this was a forbidden entry into the palace at night, so it was really a big deal. Once the emperor was displeased, according to regulations, he could be punished without asking the reason.

Big board.

Moreover, the practice of directly reporting matters to the emperor was actually taboo among civil servants. Even if the emperor did not pursue the matter, he would inevitably be criticized and impeached afterwards.

Therefore, except for the special pavilion elders, even the ministers and ministers did not dare to break into the palace at night.

But when Jiao Shun just handed over the sign, everything seemed so natural. Neither the Dragon Guard officers guarding the palace gate nor the eunuchs on duty at Donghua Gate were as domineering and difficult as they were rumored to be.

Everyone greeted me with a smile and kindness.

Even when Jiao Shun stuffed the door bag just now, the two of them tried their best to avoid it. Looking at it, they almost wished they could give gifts to Jiao Shun in turn!

This, this is Yukiomi...

Pooh!

Is this how the emperor’s ministers are treated?!

Chen Tuo was shocked, and his eyes towards Jiao Shun became more intense, filled with the ambition that he could replace him.

Naturally, Jiao Shun had noticed Chen Tuo's strangeness a long time ago, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. These scholars have inherited the legacy of the imperial examination for thousands of years and always feel that they are superior to others and omnipotent. Only when they see the real seal will they know what it means to be useless.

scholar'.

He put his hands behind his back and looked forward, secretly calculating how much he could gain this time given the emperor's temperament.

Different from the Zhou Long case, no matter how angry the emperor was at Zhou Long's actions, under the concerted efforts of the civil servants to check and balance, he could only apply pressure according to the procedures in order to find out the evidence of the mastermind behind the scenes.

As long as no conclusive evidence is found, the scope of the attack cannot be expanded at will.

At most, it's just delaying the case from being closed.

But this time the situation is completely different.

Those rumors related to Taizu and Shizong, if they are taken seriously, involve the struggle of 'national unification and national foundation'. Unless the imperial power is powerless, otherwise all dynasties will kill them without mercy!

Although because of the existence of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Longyuan's authority was far inferior to that of those kings who always spoke for themselves, on this matter, the Supreme Emperor's position was definitely the same as that of the Emperor.

It's a good thing that there was something wrong here, otherwise even if Jiao Shun mentioned it to the emperor, he wouldn't be able to get away easily if he got involved in this matter.

This also proved from the side that some people in the court were deeply afraid of Jiao, otherwise they would not have resorted to such cruel tactics!

And now because of Chen Tuo's rebellion, this double-edged sword was sent to the emperor's hands. How many times and how hard it was to be struck depended on the determination and courage of Emperor Longyuan.

According to Jiao Shun's understanding of Emperor Longyuan, at least Zhang Qiu, the Minister of Rites, was determined not to run away. With this third-rank official as his backing, it should be enough to deter those civil servants for a while.

By then the engineering and study matters will probably be on track, and it won't be that easy to interfere with it.

"Master Jiao."

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the doorway, and then he saw Qiu Shi'an coming out quickly and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Long Live the Lord just saw the train, and you handed it over."

His Majesty’s special decree is to announce that you will see him at Jingren Palace!”

"Jingren Palace?"

Before Jiao Shun could answer, Chen Tuo exclaimed: "Jingren Palace, one of the six eastern palaces of the inner court?!"

Qiu Shi'an frowned slightly, glanced at Chen He, pointed with a fly whisk and asked: "Who is this sir?"

"This is Mr. Chen Tuochen, the censor of the city patrol."

After Jiao Shun introduced Qiu Shian, he added: "Master Chen is related to what I want to report today..."

At this point, he lowered his voice: "To be precise, it's a witness."

Hearing the word 'witness', Qiu Shi'an suddenly realized that this person was probably not one of his own, otherwise he wouldn't be called 'witness'.

So his attitude became colder again.

Chen Tuo was still in shock and didn't notice this at all. Seeing Jiao Shun introduce himself, he couldn't help but ask: "It's not appropriate for me to enter the forbidden palace at night, but why do I have to summon him in the harem?!"

"Didn't the Zajia just say it was His Majesty's special order?"

Qiu Shi'an rolled his eyes at him again and said in a high and steady tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I won't let you break the rules. You just need to wait here."

After saying that, he stepped in with a bright smile: "Master Jiao, let's walk."

Jiao Shunchong nodded slightly to the embarrassed Chen Go, then followed Qiu Shi'an and the four young eunuchs into the palace gate.

Chen Tuo watched the group of people disappear behind the palace wall with a sullen expression. He subconsciously wanted to spit, but when he looked at the Dragon Guard officer and the eunuch on duty who suddenly changed their faces next to him, he quickly swallowed his saliva.

He tried his best to keep his face calm, but his heart was as sour as lemon juice.

Regardless of the rules and etiquette, what an honor it is to be summoned to the harem at night to perform a duet? I'm afraid even the elders in the palace don't get this treatment!

It's just a little bit short of being able to win this honor. It's all because Jiao Shun didn't submit his name. Otherwise...

No!

It’s not that I don’t have it, it’s that I don’t dare!

This Jiao Thief must be worried that he will be replaced by him, so he deliberately did not bring him into the palace to meet the Saint!

Ha~

He was scared, he was scared!

Hum~

After all, he was born as a domestic slave, narrow-minded and jealous of talents!

Thinking of this, Chen Tuo, who was still a little nervous at first, unconsciously puffed up his chest in the night wind, thinking that although he could not go to the harem, the emperor would definitely have to ask him face to face if he wanted to verify this matter.

At that time, no matter how Jiao Shun interfered, he could not stop himself from scolding Fang Qiu in front of His Majesty!

The more Chen Tuo thought about it, the more his blood boiled. He wished he could see Tianyan immediately and trample Jiao Shun under his feet with his wealth of knowledge.

However……
