Summoned by the emperor, Lu Qian thought he had nothing to do with him.
Unexpectedly, the little eunuch who passed the order gave a special warning, and Luo Qingzhou greeted Lu Qian with a smile on his face, letting Lu Qian also join the team heading to Jiuqu Garden for an audience.
Through Sijifang, one mile to the north, there is a long bridge across the canal, leading directly to the imperial city.
Directly north of the Imperial City is the Palace City, which needs no introduction.
The area outside the imperial city is divided into two major "Super Grade" squares, namely 'Wuyin' and 'Kunpeng'.
To the west are Wuyinfang, Dajiangfu, Shougongjian, Zongzhengfu, Sikootai, Taifu, Shaofu, Jinweifu, Yuweifu and other "traditional" yamen of Dayin Wu Dynasty, all in Wuyinfang
.
To the east are Kunpengfang, the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yushitai, Taishitai, Imperial College, Imperial College, and in recent years, with the rise of cultural and educational power, the six newly established yamen under the Prime Minister's Mansion are all located in Kunpengfang.
Walk eastward along the south wall of the palace city, along the moat of the palace city, passing through Wuyinfang and Kunpengfang, passing through the solemn government offices, and at the easternmost end of Kunpengfang, turn north along the canal bank
, and walked quickly along the base of the palace wall for a while, and arrived at the stone bridge that Bai Changkong and others passed by during the day.
Follow the stone bridge and cross the canal, you will reach Jiuqu Garden.
Lu Qian followed Luo Qingzhou and galloped all the way from Sijifang to the gate of Jiuquyuan, which took him more than half an hour.
The horses they ride are special horses borrowed from the Forbidden Army and mixed with the blood of alien beasts.
If replaced by ordinary war horses or civilian horses, it would take half a day to cross the imperial city from Sijifang to Jiuqufang.
Haojing City is too big!
The market in Haojing City is too big!
It is worth mentioning that Leshan left the team when he passed the south gate of the palace city.
He sent one of his lieutenants to follow the procession, while he himself opened the palace door and went straight into the palace.
After Leshan left, Luo Qingzhou snorted: "Well, the news from the general is not slow. He went to report the news to the Queen Mother as soon as possible."
When the group arrived at Jiuqu Garden, the white fish belly was already exposed in the east.
Dismounting at the main entrance archway of Jiuqu Garden, Lu Qian followed a group of people and walked around the extremely gorgeous Jiuqu Garden for a long time. By the time they came to the door of a large palace near the lake, it was already bright.
A group of young eunuchs are already waiting here.
When Lu Qian and others arrived, the little eunuchs hurriedly led them into the side hall and urged a group of people to bathe and change clothes. They were refreshed and sprinkled with some fragrant powder and fragrant dew. After spending less than half an hour,
, and then introduced a group of people into the main hall on the side.
The moment he stepped into the hall, Lu Qian's heart beat violently several times.
Here is the residence of the Emperor.
Being able to step into this place is obviously a lot closer to his goal.
“Oh, are you all here? Hard work, hard work, you all contributed greatly to the pacification of Sijifang last night.” In the quiet hall, laughter suddenly rang out.
Lu Jin raised his head and saw Yu Changle, who was eight feet tall, eight feet in waist, fair and tender, smiling towards him next to the throne in the innermost part of the hall.
Lu Qian straightened his expression, restrained his gaze, lowered his head slightly in a respectful manner, and only looked around secretly with the corner of his eye.
Then, Lu Qian’s full attention was attracted by the emperor sitting on the Nine Dragon Throne.
Needless to say, the Emperor Yinyuan’s appearance and appearance were selected from the best among the royal bloodline for thousands of years. The appearance and temperament of the Emperor are among the best in the world.
It's just that the emperor at this moment is a bit embarrassed by the royal bloodline.
Wearing a purple and black Kunhuapeng robe, with long hair hanging loosely, and two extremely obvious black bags under his eyes, Yinyuan sat crookedly on the throne. On his fair face, the left side of his face was filled with a strange blush, and he looked very excited.
appearance.
As for the right side of his face...
Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dayin Wu Dynasty, the right side of his face was covered in bruises, and there were three clearly visible blood marks, which stretched directly from under his ears to near the corner of his mouth.
His face was coated with a thin layer of white ointment. Even from a distance, Lu Qian could smell an extremely refreshing, fragrant, and lingering medicinal scent that penetrated directly into the internal organs, making the internal organs extremely happy.
.
It can be seen that what Yinyuan applied on his face should be the top secret wound medicine made by the inner court.
His right side of the face was traumatized. Judging from the marks, he must have been slapped on the face.
However, who dares to slap him in the face, the majestic emperor of the Yinwu Dynasty and the supreme ruler of trillions of people?
Not only Lu Qian, but also Luo Qingzhou, a chief arrester from Sikootai, and Fang Ling Shuiying from Fengdiaofang, all of them were stunned on the spot.
The emperor was beaten!
Who did it?
Luo Qingzhou and Sikotai's head catchers did not dare to say anything. They lowered their heads obediently and did not dare to look too much or look around.
Shuiying took a step forward suddenly, frowned at the emperor and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty is the lord of hundreds of millions of people in Dayin, and your safety affects the country and the state of Dayin. Do you dare to ask why the emperor has become like this?"
As a disciple of culture and education, Shuiying has the confidence and courage that Luo Qingzhou, a member of the royal inner court, and "eagle dogs" like Sikotai would never have. When he sees the emperor's strange behavior, he dares to scold him head-on and question the emperor.
.
Yin Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he turned to look at a three-legged auspicious cloud cauldron next to the throne.
Yu Changle coughed, pointed at Shuiyingman and said, "Shuiying, who gave you the courage to scream here?"
Shuiying raised her head, stared at Yu Changle fiercely and shouted: "Yu Changle, as the head of all the prisons in the inner court, if the emperor is ill, you are the culprit. If you are unfavorable in protecting the emperor, you deserve death."
Yu Changle’s round face suddenly wrinkled.
Looked at the emperor's face with some distress.
If this matter becomes serious and becomes known to the courtiers and officials of the outer court, and the emperor is slapped, it will definitely arouse the verbal and written criticism of countless humanities and education officials, and Yu Changle will become notorious!
Seeing Shuiying put the fire on Yu Changle, Yinyuan coughed heavily.
"Okay, okay, it's nothing serious. I was happy yesterday. I was happy. On a whim, I found a steel-backed bear to wrestle with. Hey, I didn't expect that I had taken too many candlelit night outings with Concubine Qi recently, and my back was sore.
My legs were weak, and I accidentally got slapped by the bear's paw."
As he spoke, Yinyuan's interest became high.
He smiled proudly and said: "But I am not a vegetarian. The steel-backed bear just slapped me, so I grabbed its vital part with a slap, tore its strength hard, and pulled it apart.
He threw it to the ground and broke its neck."
"Haha" he laughed a few times, and Yinyuan clapped his hands proudly: "The four bosses, plump bear paws, have been stewed since yesterday afternoon. At the lunch later, several members of the Qing family will accompany me to have a good drink.
Eat some, eat some."
“Tsk, tsk, the eighty-year-old steel-backed bear’s paw is called a plump, plump, tsk, tsk, it’s wonderful!”
Shuiying was stunned.
Lu Qian and the others were also dumbfounded.
Because he was happy, the emperor found a steel-backed bear to wrestle with?
Although he received a bear's paw, the emperor won the wrestling match and chopped up the bear's paw for lunch today?
Lu Qian felt vaguely that something was wrong.
Listen to the emperor's words, what does it mean to "seize its vitals with a slap"?
This bear has a vital part that can be caught with a slap...
Tsk, tsk, it’s scary to think about it carefully.
What exactly did the emperor do to that bear?
Shuiying's face gradually turned red, he was trembling all over, and suddenly he shouted: "Your Majesty, your appearance is like..."
Yinyuan waved his hand lightly: "Hunjun, you don't need to tell me, I know it myself..."
Shuiying's red face quickly turned purple, and he almost vomited blood due to Yinyuan's words.
"Haha" he laughed twice, and Yinyuan tilted his head and looked at Shuiying with squinted eyes: "I understand, I shouldn't do such a thing. As the emperor, fighting a bear is a bit... indeed a bit unjustifiable.
"
“But you’re happy, you’re happy, and you can be a little wild once in a while, right?” Yinyuan smiled brightly.
“Why is the emperor so happy?” Shuiying asked this crucial question with a gloomy face.
"Bai Changkong was so angry that he vomited blood yesterday." Yinyuan opened his mouth, and Yu Changle at the side had already stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, but was unable to stop him in time.
Yu Changle stretched out his hand, opened and closed his fingers a few times, smiled dryly, and retracted his fat palm.
Shuiying looked at Yinyuan in disbelief.
His expression was clearly saying, ‘I know you are a fool, but I didn’t expect you to be such a bastard’!
Yinyuan touched his nose nonchalantly, smiled dryly at Shuiying and said: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke. I said I was sneaking up on the little palace maid's buttocks yesterday, and Concubine Qi found out, and she was jealous and gave it to me.
A slap, do you believe it?"
“You must not believe it, so I won’t bother to explain.”
“Well, Shuiying, let’s just let this matter go.”
"Look, there was a fire in Sijifang, and so many people died. As the commander of Fengdiaofang, you are not a good official. You are not a qualified commander of Fengdiaofang. So, what do you have?
Qualifications, to accuse me of not being a qualified emperor?"
Yinyuan put his hands on his belly and asked Shuiying very firmly.
Lu Qian’s eyes were shining brightly. He stared at Yinyuan with wide eyes and almost clapped his hands. What an energetic question!
Yinyuan and Yu Changle were condescending, their eyes scanning the faces of the courtiers who had been summoned.
The two of them saw the wonder and admiration on Lu Qian's face at the same time, and couldn't help but smile at the same time.
Shuiying's body swayed. He looked at Yinyuan, who had a delicate expression on his face, and fell to his knees with a 'gudong' sound: "I'm scared... I'm guilty... I'm..."
Yinyuan waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't play the trick of begging for bones, I don't recognize it... If you want to beg for bones, I will have a headache in the end. Your teachers and commanders, in the same year, have to beat gongs at the gate of Jiuquyuan.
Playing drums and banging your head against the archway, why bother?"
“As ministers, you receive a salary from me every month. If you are soft-spoken, please don’t make it too difficult for me, the emperor.”
“Let’s get down to business, what happened last night? Are all those little bastards from Sijifang dead?”
