As soon as Xia Xun learned the news, he immediately rushed to Prince Yan's Mansion with Ximen Qing.
After the death of King Yan and the bombing of Peking, it is difficult to say whether this kind of thing will really stimulate the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who are fighting a civil war, and make them once again have ambitions for the Central Plains, and join forces to invade Peiping. Even now
Even though Lao Zhu was stationed in Nanjing and could still mobilize troops to drive them back, he would surely end up in ruins. The consequences were so serious that Xia Xun couldn't think about it anymore.
He asked Peng Ziqi to take her friends in Peking to monitor the Mongols scattered in various places, while he took Ximen Qing to Prince Yan's Mansion. He brought Ximen Qing here because he felt that this high-ranking official from Ximen sometimes
He is very alert and sophisticated, but his temperament is too frivolous and he does some unreasonable things from time to time. I really can't trust him to be left there.
Arriving in front of the screen wall of Prince Yan's Mansion, Xia Xun asked Ximen Qing to wait outside. He dismounted his saddle and quickly walked up the steps. A guard came over with his sword in hand and shouted: "Stop, who is breaking into the palace gate?"
Xia Xun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Jun, I came to the palace a few days ago, and I was escorted out of the palace by the prince. I wonder if Master Jun still recognizes me?"
This guard was not on duty that day and did not know about this. However, when he heard that this person had been sent out by the Crown Prince himself, he must be someone with a great background, so he did not dare to be rude, so he immediately became kind and asked
He said, "I wonder what's going on, young master? Is there an invitation from the prince or the prince?"
Xia Xun said: "That's not true, but...I have a hundred thousand urgent matters to report to the prince."
"oh?"
After saying this, the guard immediately became suspicious. He looked at him up and down, his expression became pale, and he asked: "What's the matter?"
Xia Xun said anxiously: "That's right, a group of Mongols sneaked into Peiping and tried to attack Prince Yan's Mansion."
The guard's gaze changed, as if he was looking at a mentally ill person. With some sympathy and some ridicule, he asked with a half-smile: "Attack? In Peking? My dear friend, who are the people you are talking about?"
Are you going to bite it with your teeth or smash it with your fists to break through the thick palace gate behind me?"
Xia Xun gritted his teeth and said: "To be precise, it's not an attack, but a bombing!"
"oh……"
"Thirty years ago, when the Yuan people withdrew from the Central Plains, they buried a large amount of tung oil and gunpowder under the palace. These Mongols came to ignite the tung oil and gunpowder."
"Well, this is very important news, but if I report it and the prince asks how they got into the secret passage, how should I answer?"
Xia Xun became increasingly angry and said loudly: "They entered through the sewer, which is the drainage pipe of the palace."
The captain wanted to laugh but held back: "Do you know how complicated the drainage pipes are? Let alone a person get in, even a group of rats can't find their way out."
Xia Xun said: "Well...since they know the news about the gunpowder buried down there, they must have the construction drawings of the drainage pipes, and they can follow the drawings to find the exit."
There was no need for Xireba to tell Narentoya the reason why he got out of the sewer. As Narentoya, she could only follow orders and did not ask for a clear reason, so Xie Yufei was smart enough not to ask, but Xia Yufei
Xun's guess is pretty damn close.
The officer folded his arms, raised his eyes to the sky, and said calmly: "I am too lazy to send you to jail for a person like you who is not clear-minded. You can leave now."
Xia Xun was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. If it were him, thirty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he suddenly ran to the armed police stationed at the gate of the provincial government and told the armed police stationed in front of the provincial government that thirty years ago there was underground... and now the enemy and puppet spies are going to... I'm afraid
He would be considered a lunatic. But he didn't dare to offend the guard. If he really turned him away and sent him to the government, it would probably delay the big event.
He endured it, walked down the steps step by step, and walked around the huge stone lion. Ximen Qing led the horse up and asked, "How is it?"
Xia Xun smiled bitterly and said: "The guard thinks that I am not clear-headed and doesn't believe it at all. What should I do?"
Ximen Qing rolled his eyes, handed the reins to his hand, and said, "Look at me."
Ximen Qing raised his hand to take off his robe. As soon as he untied his belt, he suddenly saw a delicate beauty wearing a fox scarf. She was snuggling up to the arms of a fat-bellied member of staff, walking over gracefully.
Ximen Qing originally wanted to take off his outer robe to pretend to be a package, but when he saw the woman, his eyes lit up, he rushed forward, reached out and pulled off her fox fur collar.
The woman was stunned by his actions. She couldn't believe it. Someone actually dared to grab things in front of Prince Yan's mansion. She even forgot to shout loudly. Ximen Qing said sternly: "Don't shout, I'm
On the order of King Yan, I will steal your fox fur collar!"
The fat officer was frightened and asked blankly: "Yan... His Highness, King Yan, why..."
Ximen Qing yelled: "Why? Why do you say why? Look at the color of this fox fur collar, oh! You dare to ask, aren't you afraid of losing your head? Get out of here!" After saying that, he turned around and left, holding the fox fur collar.
Run up the stairs.
The fat officer murmured: "This fox fur collar... is yellow, but my yellow color is not prohibited. Only bright yellow is not allowed for civilian use. How can this be..."
His concubine timidly said: "Master, we don't know yet whether the court has changed the rules?"
The fat officer was shocked and said: "That's terrible. Even after taking off the leather collar, it's still light. I'll be lucky if he doesn't arrest us and behead him. Come on, come on, don't let him change his mind."
Ximen Qing ran to the palace gate with his fox fur collar in his hands, nodded and bowed and said: "This military master, that military master, all military masters, good evening."
Seeing his nod and bow, a soldier poked his finger on his forehead and shouted: "What do you do?"
Ximen Qingdao: "Master Jun, I am a clerk from Xie's Leather Goods Store. This is a leather collar that was made by Princess Xu when the queen and Princess Xu came to my village. Princess Xu ordered it to be made.
Okay, regardless of the time, it must be delivered immediately. Oh, by the way, the young one’s name is Xia Xun. The princess knows about it, so I’ll tell you, and the princess will definitely see it after hearing it.”
Those guards naturally knew that the little princess of Xu Guogong's palace came to Peiping to visit her sister and brother-in-law. After hearing her earlier instructions, they did not dare to neglect. Immediately a soldier opened the small door and walked into the palace. The palace is also divided into front hall and back hall.
When they arrived at the back hall, they were served by the chamberlains and maids. The guards outside the palace were not allowed to enter. The soldier told the news to a father-in-law in the inner hall. When the father-in-law heard that it was something that the little princess had told him, he did not dare to neglect and immediately went in to report the matter.
Xia Xun hid behind the stone lion and watched quietly. He didn't know what Ximen Qing said to him, but when he saw that the guard didn't even fart and immediately reported it, he couldn't help but marveled.
After about two sticks of incense, a little girl with pink makeup, wearing white silk trousers, a white silk jacket with silver trim, and a rabbit velvet ear protection hat, stepped on a pair of white deerskin boots.
, ran out of the palace in a hurry, stood on the steps, put his hands on his hips, and shouted fiercely: "Where is that big liar?"
Ximen Qing quickly pointed to the stone lion at the bottom of the steps and said, "Little Princess, please take a look, where is that liar cat."
The guards standing on both sides of the gate saw that this person was indeed acquainted with the princess, so they did not dare to say anything and quickly backed away.
Xia Xun secretly admired from behind the stone lion: "This Ximen Qing is so good, he actually invited all the little princesses out." He quickly jumped out from behind the stone lion and waved: "The princess, the princess, and the common people are here.
"
Xia Xun said, while running up, Ming'er said angrily and funny: "You are so brave, you deceived the princess, and you actually dare to come to my door to tease me again."
Xia Xun was stunned and quickly asked Ximen Qing: "Teasing again? Brother Gao, how did you invite the princess out?"
Ximen Qing waved the golden fox tail in his hand and said proudly: "I said you gave the little princess a tail, oh... it belongs to the fox."
At this time, Xu Ming'er had already darkened her pretty face and scolded: "Come here, take him down for me!"
Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, thinking of the plan to bomb the Yan Palace that could be carried out at any time. He no longer cared about anything, leaned forward, grabbed Ming'er's wrist, stretched out his hand and pulled, Xu Ming'er was so light at such a young age.
, she ran into his arms with an ouch, and Xia Xun strangled her throat and shouted: "Quick, let me in immediately and take me to see the prince!"
Xu Ming'er jumped up and down in anger: "How many times? How many times? You think I'm easy to bully, Xia, no, Yang, you stinky guy, do you think I have no temper? I won't let you go this time."
you!"
Xia Xun ignored him and just threatened the officers and soldiers guarding the gate. When those officers and soldiers saw that the little princess was in the hands of others, they had no choice but to open the palace door and let them in. The two little palace maids who had just chased out saw that the princess was kidnapped.
She screamed, picked up her skirt and ran back to report the news.
Ximen Qing followed behind, and said in despair: "I've caused trouble again, I've caused trouble again, can't I say something nice? Alas! Don't let anything happen. The sky is full of spirits, the earth is full of spirits, the Supreme Lord will show up soon..."
There was chaos in the palace of King Yan. The alarm sounded and all the guards were dispatched. Xia Xun took Xu Ming'er hostage to the main hall where King Yan met with local civil and military officials, which is also known as Yin'an Hall among the people. King Zhu Di and Princess Xu
Shi had already rushed out with a large crowd of people.
King Yan was so angry that his beard was flying, and he roared loudly: "You are so brave. You are so mad that you dare to hold the princess hostage! Let go of the princess quickly, and I will kill only one of you! Otherwise, I will kill your whole family. If you hear it,
No!"
This sentence came from the mouth of King Yan, and it really had unquestionable courage. Xia Xun was shocked when he heard it, and he did not doubt the authenticity of his words. His reaction was also quick. When he saw that King Yan had come out, he immediately
He let go of Xu Ming'er, paid homage to her, and said loudly: "The common people do this because they have no choice but to pray for forgiveness."
Little did he know that while King Yan's violent shouting attracted all his attention, a figure as light as a civet cat flashed and came to his back like a ghost, and slapped him hard on the back of the head with a palm like a mountain.
.
When Xia Xun knelt down and apologized loudly, the man immediately realized that there was something hidden. The palm that hit the back of Xia Xun's head stopped there, barely touching his hair.
King Zhu Di of Yan was so angry that he jumped to his feet and said: "Why? What bullshit reasons do you have? Tell me, tell me, and then you will die for me!"
