Li Er sent a large number of manpower to the surrounding counties to prepare to retrieve the princess.
No matter how late it is, Yue'er must be allowed to return to the palace, so as not to worry her as a father!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yue'er has grown up.
He has developed a new skill, and is protected by a group of Jinwu guards.
Even if he encounters danger, he can save the day. This child must have gone crazy after leaving the palace.
It was also Chen Concubine's fault as a mother. After Yue'er came back this time, I asked her to study hard with Chen Concubine in the palace.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"Alas, Maid Guanyin."
Li Er stepped forward and patted Empress Changsun's hand and smiled.
"I'm not worried at all. Come on, maidservant Guanyin, let's have a good rest."
It was late at night, people were quiet, and the entire city of Chang'an was under curfew again.
The patrolling guards began to patrol the streets of Chang'an City, and the entire palace was extremely quiet at this time.
Except for the patrolling guards, everyone fell asleep.
The weather is dry and things are dry, so be careful with the fire.
But at this moment, outside Chang'an City, a group of people were rushing towards Chang'an City.
Arriving at Chang'an City, they were intercepted by the soldiers stationed in Chang'an City!
"Who is downstairs? There is a curfew in Chang'an City now."
"You bastard, I am Duke Cheng Yaojin of the State of Lu. I have something important to report to Your Majesty. Why don't you hurry up and open the city gate?"
"It turns out to be General Cheng. Open the city gate quickly. Open the city gate quickly."
A group of soldiers came to the city gate, opened the city gate, and moved the horse-repelling stakes. Cheng Yaojin and others quickly rushed in and hurried towards the palace.
"Brother, didn't you say that the guards stationed in Chang'an City have so much power that no one can come or go at will without His Majesty's order?
How could General Cheng come in and out at will?
I'm not optimistic about him getting His Majesty's handwriting?
A few days ago, weren't you also blocking Duke Zhao from outside?"
The general in front of him glanced at the people around him, and then at his brother of the same race who was nearly 20 years younger than him.
"You are a younger brother of my own clan, and I know everything about you kid.
But you are too young and don't know how deep the water in Chang'an City is.
There are some people in the court who must follow the procedures.
Just like the eldest grandson of Zhao Guogong that day, if you follow the procedures, he will definitely be angry.
But as angry as we are, we just acted impartially, and in the end, nothing happened.
On the contrary, if we don’t follow the procedures on that day, we will be punished.”
Ah, this?
They only knew how deep the water in the court was, but they didn't expect it to be so deep.
When they intercepted him, they were still thinking that Duke Zhao was now His Majesty's right-hand man.
He was your Majesty's brother-in-law, and Empress Changsun was his biological sister. However, they blocked him outside and obtained His Majesty's permission before opening the city gate.
"Yeah, sometimes you just see the surface, but don't see the inside.
The fact that my family arranged for you to be with me shows that you are a smart kid.
You remember, General Cheng went out with hundreds of people from the military camp yesterday, and in just one day, he came back with dozens of people. Something big must have happened.
If you still ask him to take the token and report it to His Majesty, Your Majesty may not blame you, but General Cheng will definitely deal with you this time.
Even if I clean you up, I'll make you lose your skin."
this?
"It is said that General Cheng was a mountain bandit and was the king of the mountain.
When we were in Wagang Village, even the current Holy Emperor was captured by him. Do you think you dare to provoke such a person?"
"Is this true?
Even your Majesty has captured people, and your Majesty still gives General Cheng a promotion?"
"Huh, today's sage is the king of benevolence and righteousness, the king of sages, and he selects and promotes talents.
It is said that after General Cheng was captured by His Majesty, His Majesty was convinced by reason and affection, and accepted him as a general.
He made great achievements in the subsequent war and became one of His Majesty's confidants.
Remember, as long as you work hard, you will be at the feet of the Emperor, and you will be in His Majesty's eyes in the future.
As long as His Majesty says a word, this promotion and title will be just around the corner."
I understand, I understand, if you have such a big brother to guide you in the officialdom, your future will be limitless.
Drive, drive, drive.
Riding a horse, he quickly arrived in front of the palace.
"Everyone get out of the way, everyone get out of the way. I am Cheng Yaojin and I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
After entering the palace, they were asked to go to the Tai Chi Hall to wait, while he quickly came to the harem alone, preparing to meet His Majesty.
"I want to see Your Majesty and I have something important to report."
"Gong Lu, your Majesty is taking a rest. No matter what happens, please wait until tomorrow to come back.
Besides, it’s already past midnight, and it won’t be long before His Majesty wakes up.”
"You bastard, I asked you to report it, just report it as soon as possible.
If you delay any longer, I will break your legs directly, so hurry up and go!"
Cheng Yaojin roared, and the eunuch was startled, so he had to rush in.
Pass it inside level by level.
"Master Manager, Duke Lu may have something big going on, do you think?"
Your Majesty sleeps most soundly during this period of time, if you wake up unexpectedly.
However, if His Majesty is not woken up, Duke Lu may dare to rush in and call someone when his temper gets worse.
I had no choice but to send someone outside to gently wake up His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
After shouting a few times, he knocked lightly on the door.
At this moment, Li Er was having a sweet dream when he was suddenly awakened by the shouting outside.
I slowly opened my eyes, could it be that it was already dawn?
It's just that it's still dark outside.
"Okay, I'm awake now. What time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, the ugly time has just arrived!"
Hearing this hour, Li Er was a little unhappy. It would be dawn in a while, and he would go to court. What big thing was going on to wake him up?
As he spoke, he put on his clothes!
"His Majesty!"
"Okay. Maid Guanyin, you go to bed first, I have to go out and deal with some things."
As he spoke, he opened the door and walked out.
"His Majesty."
"What happened? What big thing happened?
Could it be that it’s an 800-mile expedited service?”
"Your Majesty, it is Duke Lu who is asking to see you outside the main hall, saying that he has something important to report to Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yaojin.
Li Er frowned. Didn't Cheng Yaojin go there to kill tigers under orders?
Coming back now, could it be that the tiger has been killed and returned to life?
Just kill a tiger, it's not a big deal, is there any need to disturb yourself?
While thinking about it, he left the hall and walked outside.
When I arrived outside the palace, I saw an anxious Cheng Yaojin standing aside.
"The general has finally met His Majesty."
"General Cheng, tell me, what big thing happened that made you so anxious?"
