Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 331
The sky was full of stars, and there was a breeze blowing in the streets.

In the bustling place of the capital, even though it was late at night, you could still see many restaurants and houses on the street brightly lit.

There is a curfew in Beijing, which means that no one is allowed to walk on the streets after the night of Xu.

But it couldn't stop these people from drinking all night in the restaurant.

On the streets of the capital, a fast horse galloped past and headed straight for the tall besieged city in the center of Jingcheng.

As the most important building in the entire capital, the imperial palace is naturally located in the very center of the capital.

The imperial palace of the Great Zhou was named Tianming City, implying extremely vigorous and overbearing, which was taken by the Taizu when he founded the country.

The fast horse crossed the street and stopped directly at the gate of Tianming City. Although it was already late at night, there were still many soldiers guarding the gate of the palace to prevent thieves from entering the palace late at night.

Seeing the fast horse approaching, several soldiers immediately stepped forward, stopped the fast horse, and said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace, do you want to kill yourself?"

The steed stopped at the gate of Tianming City, and one of them got off the horse, his eyes fell on the soldiers in front of him, his expression was solemn: "Several military lords, this is an urgent report from the frontier, and it is said that there is no If there is any delay, let me send it in the starry night and hand it over to His Majesty."

The person who got off the horse seemed to be a postman.

Hearing this, several soldiers did not dare to be negligent and frowned: "What did you say? A letter from the frontier?"

"Yes."

"Which frontier?"

"North Sea Frontier."

The post envoy replied respectfully, and then the soldiers nodded: "Since this matter is very urgent, it should be sent to His Majesty as soon as possible. But now that His Majesty has gone to bed, it should naturally be sent to Eunuch Huang."

The eunuch Huang mentioned by this soldier refers to the most noble and noble one among the many eunuchs in Beijing.

Huang Zuo entered the palace when he was young, and when he was in his twenties, he was favored by the emperor and became his school boy.

It's just that the emperor was still the prince at that time. After the prince ascended the throne, Huang Zuo also rose with the tide. He has been by the emperor's side for so many years, taking care of food, clothing and daily life.

So in the palace, sometimes what he said was equivalent to what the emperor said.

Since this letter is so urgent, it should naturally be sent to Huang Zuo, and Huang Zuo should be handed over to His Majesty immediately.

"However, even the small ones in Mingcheng can't get in today, so I don't know how to deliver it?"

"You wait here, I will go into the palace and ask Eunuch Huang to come out."

The soldier's tone was extremely arrogant, but it was normal when he thought about it, even if he was just a gatekeeper, but he was showing the palace gate to the emperor, so he didn't know how many grades were higher than those guarding the city gate.

Such very important news should naturally be handed over to Huang Zuo in person to prevent someone from switching letters or doing other tricks in the middle.

The two soldiers turned and entered the palace, leaving only the post envoy waiting respectfully at the door.

However, he didn't wait too long, and within a short time, he saw a sedan chair being carried out from the palace gate.

The sedan chair slowly stopped at the palace gate, and several bearers hurried forward and carefully opened the curtain. A middle-aged man who looked about 50 years old came out of the sedan chair, with his hands behind his back and his face Pride is written all over it.

The post envoy couldn't help complaining in his heart, that Eunuch Huang had to be carried over in just a few steps.

But of course he didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face.

This man has a white face and no beard, and his legs are clamped tightly when he walks, which looks particularly awkward, giving people a very girly feeling.

Most eunuchs are like this, so post envoys are no strangers to it.

The man who was the number one eunuch in the palace stopped in front of the post envoy, glanced at him indifferently, and then asked: "Then the Beihai frontier is so good, why did a letter come back all of a sudden?"

"Eunuch, this subordinate is just running errands, how do you know?"

The post envoy smiled bitterly, quickly took out a letter from his bosom, and handed the envelope to Huang Zuo in front of him.

Huang Zuo just nodded lightly, and didn't rush to read the envelope after taking it.

"Go back first. I have received the letter. After His Majesty wakes up, I will naturally hand over the letter to him."

The post envoy breathed a sigh of relief, his errand this time was finally completed without any risk.

On the other side, after Huang Zuo took the envelope, he naturally returned to the sedan chair, and several bearers also hurriedly carried him to the palace.

On the sedan chair, Huang Zuo opened the envelope and read it carefully.

This letter is naturally the one written by Zhang Aolong, and the main content of the letter is naturally to praise Lin Song.

Logically speaking, such a letter is for the emperor to read, so Huang Zuo is not qualified to read it at all.

But not only did he watch it, but he also watched it with great peace of mind.

Of course, such things are not uncommon in private, but Huang Zuo couldn't help frowning after reading the contents of the letter.

"stop!!"

He hurriedly yelled to the outside of the sedan chair, and the bearers around him naturally stopped at this moment.

Before the bearers came forward to serve, Huang Zuo had already opened the curtain and walked out.

"Come here today, I will walk the rest of the way by myself."

Huang Zuo said indifferently, the bearers around him suddenly became a little nervous, could it be that his posture in lifting the sedan chair was not right, which made this master feel uncomfortable?
But before they had time to ask, they suddenly discovered that Huang Zuo seemed to be going the wrong way.

The Eunuch Huang in front of him seemed a bit out of place, which naturally made the bearers even more puzzled.

Although they didn't know what happened, they still couldn't help reminding: "Eunuch Huang, did you go the wrong way?"

They pointed to the two roads ahead.

These two roads are left and right, the left is the place leading to the emperor's bedroom, but Huang Zuo clearly walked to the right.

But Huang Zuo shook his head unhurriedly: "What does this have to do with you?"

The bearers naturally knew that Eunuch Huang had a weird temper, so they didn't dare to speak any more at this moment.

Huang Zuo's expression turned cold, and he continued walking forward.

Of course he did not go wrong, because the direction he was walking now was towards the East Palace.

And the people living in the East Palace are the heirs of today's emperor.

Huang Zuo walked forward along this avenue, but within a few steps, he stopped at the door of a house where sundries were placed on the side of the road.

He pushed open the door, turned around and entered, followed by another small door inside this door, and after leaving this door, the next direction was to walk towards the interior of the East Palace.
