Chapter 46: Face Saint (Central)
Although Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, and Buluzi are both far older than their appearance, at least they are young people on the outside and they don’t have beards, so it’s not difficult to disguise the three of them as little eunuchs. They are basically just changing clothes.
Yun Shili can naturally get several sets of eunuchs' clothes, just like the people from the East Factory can also get the uniforms of their Jinyiwei...
"I said... Brother Yun, do we have to play eunuch? I'm a tough guy." Seeing that he wanted to play eunuch, Sun Yixie immediately said in his voice that could pretend to be eunuch without any modification.
"Then what do you want to pretend to be? Palace maid?" Yun Shili did not intend to modify the plan, so he responded directly with a quarrel.
"Tsk..." Brother Sun frowned and curled his lips, "Can't we pretend to be the imperial guards in the palace?"
"The guards either stand guard in a fixed place or patrol in groups. There are a specified time for changing the guard or going to the toilet. Each class has its own team supervisor. How can you take advantage of the situation?" Yun Shili replied, "Have you seen a group of guards running around in the harem with three or two talking to themselves?"
"Then the eunuchs can run around in the harem in groups?" Sun Yixie said dissatisfied.
"Yes." Yun Shili answered with confidence, "Isn't it okay for eunuchs and palace maids to run around? If someone really asks you, you will say that the master asked you to run away and get something, and the other party will not continue to ask."
"Hey! You are not working in the palace, how do you know so clearly?" Sun Yixie asked with a raised pitch.
"Hey! Can't I have a few friends who work in the palace?" Yun Shili also raised his tune and asked, "Why are you just complaining about this when you have a drink and gossip between friends?"
Sun Yixie could not refute what he said.
Brother Sun could only secretly regret in his heart: "Mom, if I had known I was going to break into the palace, I would have gone to Master Yuan and Master Zhang to ask carefully before leaving home. After all, they have worked in the imperial kitchen for so many years, and they must have learned a lot of inside information in the palace... I want to ask, and I won't be able to accept everything like now."
In this way, even though he was unhappy, Sun Yixie finally changed his clothes.
Huang Donglai originally felt a little uncomfortable when he was playing eunuch, but after hearing the conversation between Brother Sun and Yun Shili, he stopped talking.
As for the unmoving son, there is no need to worry; people in his realm cannot guess based on the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people... If you don't want him to play eunuch today, even if you really want him to play a palace maid, he doesn't care.
Jian Duanjie said that the three of them had disguised themselves and looked roughly at the map of the imperial city. Before dawn, the three of them pushed onto an empty "free car" and headed to a back alley on the west side of the imperial city.
Since there was no problem with their outfits and waist cards, Sun Yixi's voice was also very confusing, so they successfully deceived the guards and got in from this entrance according to Yun Shili's instructions.
What? What fleet are you asking about?
Of course, it was a convoy for transporting manure. These "free bikes" would have to enter and exit the imperial city several times in a day, otherwise the excrement of 18,000 people in the palace would not have time to deal with.
It is the darkest moment before dawn. The guards are trapped and cannot see the appearance of the cart pusher, so it is the best time to get along.
So, led by Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Budzi pushed the cart, and the three of them followed a passage specially transporting excrement out of the palace to a "supply room" in the palace. Then they threw the cart into the corner and took a walk.
From this time on, it changed to not being able to lead the way. This is not only because he remembers the map well, but also because he can sense the "dragon energy", that is, he can roughly grasp the emperor's position at this moment. If he does not have his ability, it will be difficult for them to deal with. After all, the harem is too big, and they don't know where the emperor spent last night. If he catches people and asks, it will be easy to cause trouble.
After walking for a while, the three of them were not stopped and asked along the way, and they arrived very smoothly near Fengxian Hall.
This "Fengxian" has nothing to do with Lu Fengxian. As the name suggests, this is the ancestral temple where the emperors worshipped their ancestors.
Isn’t the Zhongyuan Festival coming soon? In order to hold the sacrifice here soon, Zhu Wei got up early this morning and called the national master to come to the scene to discuss the details of the sacrifice.
I have to mention here that in the Great Sect during the Yongtai period, the word "national teacher" was not the kind of honor that was granted, but it was indeed a job.
At this time, the "national teacher" of Dashi is a special official position that is even greater than the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision. It is not considered as a "grade". It is considered to be a person who can speak in certain specific affairs around the emperor and has a considerable say.
For example, when the sacrificial sacrificial matters were discussed directly with the national master and no longer had to find anyone else; after they made up, the matter would be left to the national master to handle it, and the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor and the Minister of Rites had to obey the arrangements of the national master.
The current national teacher who is currently working, the Taoist name is "Yan Danzi", and is an orthodox monk of the Emei Sect (it is the Emei Sect of the Taoist Sect, not the Emei Sect in the Jianghu). He was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to hold this position ten years ago.
When he came, he was fifty years old. He was a disciple of a very low-ranking and very young age in the orthodox sect of Taoism like Emei. Therefore, this kind of chore similar to long-term business trips fell on him...
If nothing unexpected happens, when Yan Danzi is seventy years old, he will be able to return to the mountain gate to report.
Then, according to the rules agreed upon by the Taoist sect many years ago, the next national master had to send another sect to the next sect. After Emei, there will be Qingcheng, Beihai, Penglai... Anyway, if one of the sects is going to take turns to go down one by one, who will be unlucky.
Early that morning, Yan Danzi was called here by the emperor. The two were talking about sacrifices. Suddenly, three uninvited guests came in from the high-rise buildings of the palace and came to Zhu Wei. When they approached, the three of them shouted, "The people have important matters to report to the emperor!"
And these three are not others, they are just the Modified Son, Sun Yixi and Huang Donglai.
Their plan is simple and crude. In short, it is to find a way to rush to the emperor first, and then yell or say it, as long as the other party can start listening to them, things can continue.
If this "approaching" process is really too complicated, it will increase the probability of failure. Even if they successfully approach the emperor without disturbing anyone, when they are about to speak, they may trigger the development of "protection" in one sentence.
Then it's better to go straight to it...
It was almost time for the three of them to reach the front ten steps, and the boss next to the emperor, who was over 70 years old, suddenly rushed up like a rabbit, and flashed in front of the three of them.
Two seconds later, the boss took off his powerful internal force, shouting "protective" while spreading his arms and blasting out a "Sea Unlimited" at the three visitors.
The power of this move is extraordinary. If you are in the world, at least you have to be a person of Di Buyi's level to take it off. If you change to a slightly weaker master, you will be beaten and vomited blood on the spot.
Fortunately, there was a turbulent man here, and he saw him facing the other party's surging palm power without hesitation. He just stood up high and shook the attack with his chest.
When others saw this scene, it seemed that the boss's palm was not as strong as the slightest touch. It hit the body of the immovable body like a breeze blowing on the face, without any pain or itching...
But the boss himself was already shocked. At this moment, he simply suspected that he was dreaming. His skills turned into moves and blasted out. The other party reacted like this? Even if it was such a big fart, the other party would have to be frown, right? With the "Sea Infinite" he has been practicing hard for decades, it would be better than a fart.
"Don't do it first, you can say something!" After standing still, he shouted loudly.
But in this situation, he didn't count. In the blink of an eye, dozens of fully armed imperial guards rushed in and surrounded them with spears and sharp swords.
"Bold traitor! He dares to be shocked, but he can't surrender quickly!" The leader of the imperial guard was almost bleeding because he understood that he had already neglected his duties by asking these three people to bypass the guards outside and come to the emperor. If he could not stop the loss in time, he would be dismissed at the least, and would lose his head at the worst.
So he was very careful about his words at this moment, saying "dare to be shocked" and did not use "dare to assassinate", so as not to avoid his guilt when he was held accountable.
"We have important matters to report to the emperor, and we have no way to face the saints, so we have made this bad decision. I hope you all..." At this time, Buddler tried to negotiate with the other party.
"Stop talking! If you have anything to say when you are in prison, you will talk about it! If you dare to resist, kill me, don't worry!" But the leader of the imperial guard did not let the Buddy finish his words, and he called his subordinates to come forward to get the people.
At this time, Buddy could only sigh secretly that things had really developed as Yun Shili expected, and it seemed that a conflict was inevitable.
But I didn't expect...
"Let's wait!" At this moment, Yan Danzi, who had been there, actually shouted softly, "General, don't hurry up and do it."
His words really shocked the imperial guards.
The next second, Yan Danzi turned around and bowed to Zhu Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, can I let you say a few words to these people before you can make a decision?"
"Oh?" Zhu Wei was still shocked at this time, and was a little confused, "National Master, what exactly..."
"Your Majesty, I have my own concerns." The national teacher continued in a very confident tone.
"Well..." Zhu Wei looked at Yan Danzi for a few seconds, calmed down a little, and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Everyone, if you think about this paragraph carefully, Yan Danzi’s sin will be quite serious.
When the emperor was facing the threat of assassination, he gave an order to the imperial guards, and after giving the order, he asked the emperor if he could do anything. After the emperor asked questions, he did not answer directly, but said, "Don't worry, I have my plans." No matter how he looked at it, it had the flavor of usurpation and deception of the emperor.
However, Zhu Wei was not angry and agreed.
Because... Zhu Wei is also a sensible person.
He knew that although Yan Danzi also performed a certain degree of rituals between monarch and ministers to his great emperor, they were not real "monarch and ministers", nor were they "master and servants".
Yan Danzi never loyal to the emperor, but his own sect. He recognized the "destiny of heaven" and not the "destiny of emperor".
To be a metaphor, Yan Danzi is like a bodyguard sent by another unit to protect the royal family and the Great Uncle from being invaded by some supernatural things, and he can ignore anything else.
Theoretically, if there are really three assassins coming to assassinate the emperor today, as long as the assassins have nothing to do with supernatural powers, Yan Danzi can even stand by and watch.
Of course, he can also choose to save... but whether he saves or not, he has to bear the "karma" generated by this choice, because it has nothing to do with his responsibilities and is his personal choice.
Zhu Wei understood Yan Danzi's position, so he trusted Yan Danzi, a person who was not a "subject", more than any of his own ministers and even relatives. This national teacher might not save him, but he would never take the initiative to harm him, nor would he be bribed or threatened by anyone... So when the national teacher proposed to take the initiative to do something, he must be helping him.
"Dare you ask the little brother standing in front, but I am a member of the Taoist sect?" After a breath, Yan Danzi turned around, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice.
"Since you have seen it, why bother asking questions clearly?" Wu Zhizi responded without being humble or arrogant.
"Hmph..." Yan Danzi smiled, "You are not old, and your tone is quite strong." He was not angry either. He paused, and then continued, "Forget it, I saw that your head was surrounded by purple air, full of intentions. I don't think you are a man of the devil, but it's a bit rash to startle the emperor like this, and it's not a rash person... If it weren't for the old Taoist, I happened to be present today, I wonder how your move would end."
"Yes, I really have to thank you for this." said Wu Zi, "But I'm not a rash person when I come here this time, because there is really a big thing going to happen in this capital."
"Oh? What a big deal? Let's talk about it." Yan Danzi didn't care about this and continued leisurely when he heard this.
His attitude was so calm not because of his great ability, but because he thought his ability was already great enough.
So his thoughts at this moment were: "With my cultivation, if there were any serious visions in the capital, I should have discovered them long ago. If I didn't find them, it would be nothing big.
"Can there be any other crisis that I have discovered in front of me but haven't discovered? It's impossible.
"However, seeing this Taoist looking confident, I, a senior from the Emei Sect, cannot even let him say a few words. After all, they are all fellow Taoists, and even if they are not from the same sect, they should help each other.
"Then let me listen to what he wants to say, and then find a reason to excuse these three boys based on what he said, at least to save them from the death penalty of breaking into the palace and shocking the car."
It can be seen that Yan Danzi is not bad and thinks very thoughtful.
But he never expected that, and then he followed up with lines that made his scalp numb.
