Now that things have happened, it is on my side that I have fallen into a passive position.
When the emperor issued the imperial edict, he went to dissuade him. As a result, the imperial edict was withdrawn and the procedures were re-followed.
It's better now. After seven or eight days of discussion, no conclusion has been reached. It's too late to hide, so why are you taking the initiative to move forward?
But, what if the emperor runs away secretly...
Suddenly, Cao Nai thought of the crux of the problem and said to Zhang Yi: "Go and see if Qiqike of Mobei Guard is still there!"
Zhang Yi also reacted, and immediately called a scribe in and ordered him to go to Honglu Temple to investigate.
It is not far from Wenyuan Pavilion to Honglu Temple, and it only takes half an hour to go back and forth.
On weekdays, half an hour is not long, and it goes by just drinking tea and chatting.
But today was different. The two of them were sitting on pins and needles.
"correct!"
Zhang Yi thought of another thing and immediately said: "Do you want to send someone to the campus?"
Cao Nai understood what he meant. If the emperor really sneaked out, it would not be as simple as patrolling the place. Maybe there would be some action.
As long as you go to the main campus and see if the soldiers and horses are still there, you will have a rough idea.
"The main campus is too far away. Let's go to Beizhen Fusi!"
Cao Nai thought more carefully. Regardless of whether the emperor brings troops or not, the Jin Yiwei must bring them, right?
Moreover, Yuan Bin must be personally accompanying him at this time.
Zhang Yi nodded, called over a clerk, and said, "Go to the Beizhen Prefecture and ask Commander Yuan and I to discuss matters at Wenyuan Pavilion."
The scribe was a little confused. The cabinet was the head of the officials, and the officials were in the same position as the royal guards. How could they sit down to discuss matters?
Such a situation has never happened before, and it is even a bit unbelievable!
However, since you are told, just do it yourself.
After waiting for a long time, the first scribe ran back panting and said: "To tell you two adults, the people from Honglu Temple have said that Qiqi Ke has not gone back for two days!"
Zhang Yi frowned and said, "What do you mean by not going back?"
"It's just...I haven't seen anyone for two days."
"Don't Honglu Temple know whether the person has left or not?"
Honglu Temple is not an inn. You can come and leave whenever you want.
This is a court institution that specializes in receiving important officials and foreign envoys. With a status like Qishike's, there is a complete set of procedures. What level, what kind of room is provided, including eating and dressing, are all very particular.
As for when this person came and when he left, there are detailed records.
"Honglu Temple has not registered any departure information. This person should still be in the capital."
"I know, you go down first!"
Zhang Yi waved his hand, his face felt as if he had eaten flies, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Cao Nai sighed and said, "I guess he is no longer in the capital."
"Your Majesty, this is... alas!"
Zhang Yi wanted to complain a few words, but after thinking about it, it was useless to say anything at this time, and he could only sigh.
Cao Nai couldn't help but shake his head and said: "What exactly is the emperor thinking? What is hidden behind Xun Mobei?"
Zhang Yi said thoughtfully: "Things are definitely not that simple, otherwise, the emperor would not be able to leave Beijing in this way."
The two of them were full of doubts, but could not find the answer, and were very confused.
At this time, the second scribe came back.
"People from the Beizhen Prefecture said that Commander Yuan left the capital three days ago."
Zhang Yi quickly asked: "Where have you gone?"
"I don't know!"
The man shook his head and said, "I asked everyone, but they all said they didn't know."
Zhang Yi suddenly couldn't sit still and said to Cao Nai: "In all likelihood, he has slipped away. Let's go there in person!"
Cao Nai stood up and said: "Let's go to see the driver together!"
The two of them made up their minds, left Wenyuan Pavilion and went straight to the imperial study.
From a distance, I saw the door open.
The two looked at each other with puzzled expressions at the same time.
Could it be that I made a mistake and the emperor actually didn't leave?
Cao Nai whispered: "What exactly is going on will be known at a glance!"
Zhang Yi nodded, and the two of them walked in, one behind the other.
"Your Majesty, Cao Nai, would like to say hello to the Holy Lord!"
"Your Majesty Zhang Yi, I wish you the best!"
At this time, I heard a voice inside saying:
"My lords, please don't be like this. Our family can't afford your great gift when the emperor is not here!"
Cao Nai raised his head, and there was only Huai En in front of him, and there was no shadow of the emperor at all.
Even though he was prepared, at this moment, he still couldn't help but moan secretly in his heart.
Zhang Yi did not hesitate and asked: "Where is the emperor?"
"emperor……"
Wynn hesitated for a moment, seeming to consider whether he should say it or not.
Zhang Yi was so anxious that he grabbed Huaien's collar and asked, "Tell me, where is the emperor?"
"Mr. Zhang Ge, don't be angry..."
Wynn pushed him away gently and said, "The emperor left a note for you two."
"where?"
"Right there!"
Zhang Yi looked in the direction Huai En pointed and saw an envelope placed on top of the imperial desk.
He quickly picked it up and pulled out a piece of paper. After opening it, his expression suddenly became strange.
Cao Nai couldn't help but ask: "What did you write?"
Zhang Yi was very confused and handed the note over.
Cao Nai took it in his hand and only glanced at it, his expression suddenly became strange.
There are only three big words on it: "I am moisturized!"
"Gone?"
Cao Nai turned the note over and over, but couldn't even find the fourth word.
Reluctantly, he picked up the faith from Zhang Yi and looked left and right, up and down, but still found nothing.
"What do these three words mean?"
"I do not know either!"
The two people suddenly turned their heads and looked at Wynn with extremely unfriendly eyes.
Wynn waved his hands quickly: "Our family is only responsible for telling you two that the emperor left a note before he left. As for what was written on it, our family has no idea!"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"You mean...the emperor ran away?"
Wynn's face was tangled, and he said: "Master Zhang, it seems inappropriate to use the word "run" on the emperor..."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Yi was extremely anxious and asked: "Just tell me, where is the emperor?"
Wynn said: "Of course we will go to Mobei."
"When did you leave?"
"Three days ago."
Cao Nai was so angry that his beard exploded, and said angrily: "Wasn't there a meeting of the imperial court three days ago?"
Wynn nodded and said, "I'll leave after going to court."
At this point, the two finally determined that they had been tricked by the emperor.
I thought that the tuozi tactic could turn against the guest, but I didn't expect that it was all part of the emperor's plan.
After dragging it back and forth, until the end, I was hiding from the emperor, and he ran away immediately.
Looking back and thinking about it, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to say that the emperor had been running away for three days without knowing it.
But, what does the word "run" mean?
