Chapter 808: Concubine Xiao Shu is a witch
Chapter 808 Concubine Xiao Shu is a demon girl
As soon as the Xuanwu Gate opened, the general on duty inside immediately came out, but it was not Xue Rengui, but another general from the Northern Yai. The general looked even stronger than Xue Rengui, and rode a horse with a helmet and armor rushed over from the suspension bridge.
Changsun Wuji and the others were waiting outside Xuanwu Gate, and the guards at the city gate had naturally seen it. They didn't know that the soldiers outside were led by Changsun Wuji, but they knew that these people had just returned from the mission and were not enemies, so they didn't say anything. However, when the city gate was opened at dawn, the general on duty inside came out to inquire in person to determine the identities of the group of soldiers outside.
Of course, the general on duty understood that the person who could lead these many military soldiers in the military service to do business must be the officials in the court, and it might be a prime minister. He ran to the carriage, turned over and dismounted, and wanted to ask questions respectfully. But when he turned his head, he saw Wang Ping'an.
The general hurriedly gave up the carriage, ran to Wang Ping'an, bowed first, and smiled on his face, saying, "It turns out that it is Wang Xiang. You have brought so many soldiers and generals, but who should you protect into the city? Are you going to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor?"
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's good to be prime minister, and everyone else knows me. Unfortunately, I don't know this general. Well, I can't recognize someone like Xue Rengui before, let alone him!"
Wang Ping'an pointed to the carriage and said, "I am accompanying Lord Changsun, Lord Chu and Lord Fang out of the city to do business. I just returned and want to go directly to the palace to court."
The general on duty whispered and thought to himself: "Will the four prime ministers go out to do business together? Is it possible to suppress the bandits? But I haven't heard of the bandits near Chang'an City. Even if there are bandits, there will not be so many soldiers and generals from the Guards!"
Before the general on duty ran to the carriage to curry favor, Changsun Wuji opened the car door, got out from it, and said, "General Liu, I want to bring a few people into the palace, you can check it. Also, dozens of other people are going to stay here... No, they are going to send them to the Ministry of War. Those people entered the city from other doors, all of them are from Goguryeo. You can check it together, so as not to spend more time when entering the city!"
The general on duty thought to himself: "Carrying Goguryeo into the palace is a beauty dedicated to the emperor?" He agreed and looked into the team, and saw a group of big men and Guan Zhihu who had just stopped crying.
He waved to a group of soldiers from the Northern Yamen. The general on duty ordered them to search the Goguryeo spies, and checked them all inside and out, and confirmed that these Goguryeo people did not carry weapons or could be used as weapons. The general on duty laughed and said, "Chaosun Prime Minister, you are joking. If you want to bring people into the palace and into the city, there is no need to check it. Just go in directly. You should let them go astray, so as not to waste your time."
Wang Ping'an listened and smiled. The general was really good at telling jokes. He had finished checking all the people and said there was no need to check. Why didn't he say it in advance? That would really not waste time!
Changsun Wuji smiled and waved his hand. Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang and the others also got off the carriage, and the three of them walked towards Xuanwu Gate together. Wang Ping'an personally escorted Guan Zhihu, followed them, and entered Xuanwu Gate together.
When the ministers of the Tang Dynasty went to the morning court, they followed the Xuanwu Gate. This was not the rule set by the Tang Dynasty, but the rule left by the Sui Dynasty when the Daxing City was built in the former Sui Dynasty, because behind the Xuanwu Gate was the Ganlu Hall, the emperor's residence, and the heart of the empire.
But it was precisely because the ministers were going to court that a Xuanwu Gate had been launched that a Xuanwu Gate incident occurred. Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji here and seized the throne. No matter whether Li Shimin did this, it was out of *** or malpractice, or what benefits this matter would have for the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanwu Gate was taboo by Li Shimin and was unwilling to let the ministers go in and out here again. This was pure psychological use.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not make any public statement, but instead acquiesced to the ministers not to go to the morning court from Xuanwu Gate, changing the old system. Li Zhi had just ascended the throne and had not had time to restore the old system, so the ministers still went to Chengtian Gate. They had to wait until many royal palaces were built outside Xuanwu Gate, such as Xi Neiyuan and Daming Palace, and the Xuanwu Gate reopened.
Just because he was walking at Xuanwu Gate, Wang Ping'an and his group entered the palace, they arrived outside the Ganlu Palace in a short while. At this time, Li Zhi had not yet gotten up!
Changsun Wuji and the other two were waiting outside the hall, while Wang Ping'an took Guan Zhihu to decoct medicine for Guan Zhihu to treat his eyes.
After a long time, Wang Ping'an had all the medicines boiled and Guan Zhihu took them. When he returned to Ganlu Palace, Li Zhi still did not attend court. The three old prime ministers of Changsun Wuji stared at each other, and were still waiting outside.
Wang Ping'an walked into the yard and saw Changsun Wuji turning around. Chu Suiliang looked impatient, only Fang Xuanling sat on the pier in a daze. He walked up and asked, "Uncle, has the emperor not been to court yet? Look at the sky, it has passed the time to court. The ministers should be waiting at Chengtianmen, right?"
Changsun Wuji was full of anger. He had not had a good rest. Now he was wandering around the circle outside. How could he feel better? He said angrily: "The emperor has not been ascended to the throne for a long time, and he actually has to be lazy in politics. This is really a pity for the late emperor, sorry for the trust of the late emperor in him. The country of the Tang Dynasty...ah!"
Fang Xuanling said, "Why would you like to ask someone if the emperor is not in the Ganlu Palace? Maybe it was the night he spent with whom?"
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Leave this to me, I am familiar with the people in the palace, and you will know it once you ask." As he said that, he trotted to the inner courtyard and waved to a little eunuch.
Changsun Wuji said behind, "It's really a shame to have a good relationship with the eunuchs in the palace."
Fang Xuanling thought to himself: "If he has a promising future and works in the province all day long, you will be even more angry!"
Chu Suiliang said, "Not sick, the relationship between people is good. Whether in the palace, in the court, or even among the people, there are many friends. This is a good thing, and it cannot be said that it is a lack of prospects."
Wang Ping'an did not hear the conversation between the three people behind him, and asked the little eunuch with great enthusiasm: "The emperor has not gotten up yet, is the emperor in the Ganlu Palace?"
Where the emperor spends the night, the little eunuch who is not of character or grade would not know. If he even knows it, if he breaks into the palace and catches a little eunuch, wouldn’t he be able to find out where the emperor is and directly block the emperor’s bed!
The little eunuch kept shook his head and said he didn't know. Wang Ping'an was not embarrassed, and asked him to call Shi Zhongchen, or Mi Xiaomiao, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran to find someone.
Not long after, Mi Xiaomiao quickly walked out of the hall. He was waiting for three prime ministers outside the hall and brought Goguryeo people. Mi Xiaomiao was unreasonable to the newly promoted deacon in the Ganlu Hall beside him, but he was unhappy to see the faces of the three old prime ministers, so he hid and didn't come out. Anyway, the emperor was not in the hall, and no one could care about him.
But as soon as he heard that Wang Ping'an had also come, Mi Xiaomiao ran out. He had received too many benefits from Wang Ping'an. Even if he didn't flatter others, he had to curry favor with Wang Ping'an.
When Mi Xiaomiao saw Wang Ping'an, she said directly: "Please Wang, you are here too. Why did you come in from Xuanwu Gate today? But you want to meet the emperor before the morning court? To be honest, the emperor is not in the hall, and he went to Concubine Xiao Shu and has not come back yet!"
Wang Ping'an said with a oh, "Have you gone to Concubine Xiao Shu? Send someone to invite the emperor back and go to the morning court as soon as possible!"
Mi Xiaomiao looked at Changsun Wuji and the others in the distance and whispered mysteriously: "Please, the emperor has a bad temper these days, and I don't know why. Let's remind you that when you go to the morning court, silence is golden!"
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Who, I know what silence means is gold. It seems that I have read the Analects of Confucius!" He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Mi, for reminding me that I am the third little golden man. Everything goes into my ears and falls directly into my stomach, and I will never make any noise."
Mi Xiaomiao whined. He knew that silence was golden, but he didn't know this allusion, and was confused by Wang Ping'an. He nodded repeatedly and turned to find the emperor himself.
Wang Ping'an returned to Changsun Wuji and the others and said, "I asked clearly. The emperor spent the night with Concubine Xiao Shu's place last night. He hasn't gotten up yet. Maybe he is reluctant to leave Concubine Xiao Shu's gentle place!"
Chu Suiliang yelled and said, "The gentle place is really a hero's tomb!"
Fang Xuanling kept silent as usual. He was the one who could truly be silent!
Changsun Wuji said, "In my opinion, this Concubine Xiao Shu is like Daji, who is really a witch who harms the country and the people. For the sake of the country, we will abandon this witch as soon as possible and give me a bright world to the Tang Dynasty!"
Wang Ping'an looked up at the sky and thought to himself: "Can I be dark now in the Tang Dynasty?" He said: "Today is a sunny day, cloudless..."
Changsun Wuji shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!"
After a long time, it was already midday before Mi Xiaomiao ran over and saluted, saying, "The emperor has risen to the court. Please come into the palace, four prime ministers!"
Changsun Wuji shook his sleeves and went to the palace to enter the palace. Wang Ping'an and the other three followed. Mi Xiaomiao looked at Changsun Wuji's back, curled her lips, snorted her voice, and then looked at Wang Ping'an's back, but a smile appeared on her face.
When they entered the hall, they saw that there were many important officials coming in outside. When Ma Zhou saw Changsun Wuji, he exclaimed and said strangely: "Mr. Wuji, why didn't you see you outside just now?"
Changsun Wuji said: "I came in from Xuanwu Gate and went out of the city last night to catch many Goguryeo spies..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Zhi came out, his face full of fatigue and yawning. When Changsun Wuji saw Li Zhi's appearance, he really became angry from his heart and became evil to his courage!
Changsun Wuji whispered: "With that Xiao Situi... isn't it slower?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said nothing. But Chu Suiliang said, "How can you still want to be quick!"
Changsun Wuji said, "I really wish that Fairy Girl Xiao would die immediately!"
Li Zhi whispered on it and said, "Uncle, what did you say?"
