Chapter 22 The Imperial City

The nine gates of the imperial city are strictly guarded. Once entering the gate of the outer palace, the prince handed the badge to the imperial guards for inspection. Pei Heng got off his horse and walked with Lüesa.

When Pei Huan ascended the throne in his early years, he issued a decree of grace and amnesty. When Prince Rui entered the palace, he could change horses and take a sedan chair to His Majesty Mingde. However, except for a few times, Pei Heng had never enjoyed this privilege in the palace.

The eunuchs who led the way lowered their heads, Jiangling City was full of smoke and clouds, and the bluestone slabs were stained, changing people every three gates, and a road seemed to never end.

Pei Heng stepped on the gravel road, and the palace people on both sides of the path knelt down far away, and saw a frost-colored robe, and when the prince got up after a long journey, he saw a thin back.Wearing the dark blue uniform of Admiral Feng Xuansi, wearing a light Lv sword, Luesa walked beside Pei Heng, and the two of them did not speak a word.

Until the steps of Mingde Hall.

"His Royal Highness, please."

Eunuch Dexian was waiting outside, Lüesa stopped, and everyone in the palace outside the palace knelt down to salute, saying "His Royal Highness Rui Wang".

With a false lift of the pale and bony hand, the palace talent stood up, Dexian led the way, and Pei Heng stepped up the steps.

"came back?"

As soon as he entered the hall, the scent of orchids wafted, Pei Huan got up, walked quickly from behind the desk, and promptly supported Pei Heng who was about to salute, and looked up and down with a smile.

"From now on, you won't be allowed to do such things. After leaving for more than half a month, you will be bored waiting alone in the palace." Pei Huan pulled Pei Heng in, Pei Heng sat down, and the palace servants served tea.

"It's because I'm not doing my job well. If Dali Temple or Xiling Division were to go, I think there would be results already." Pei Heng smiled and said.

"When it comes to gilt clusters, you handle this case yourself, and everyone in the future will weigh the importance." Pei Huan shook his head.

"Is the Empress Dowager safe?" Pei Heng asked, "It has been raining heavily for several days and the roads are impassable. Please be assured that the booklet will not be delivered in time."

Pei Huan shook his head with a smile and said: "My mother misses you, and she often goes to the Qingyu Hall recently, pointing to Wen Gebu to be safe. I think the Master of the State Teacher is also looking forward to your return, so I can be relieved."

"With the good words of Mr. Wen, I have to drink to thank you another day." Pei Heng said.

The emperor withdrew his smile, and his brows were stained with worry: "I heard someone report that the case of Laizhou involves the fourth son of the Liu family?"

Pei Heng didn't know how much he had heard, so he briefly mentioned it lightly: "Indeed, His Majesty can deal with this matter after the case is closed."

"The chief envoy is a prefect of Laizhou, calling the state military camp to control the mines?" the emperor asked with a frown.

The teacup in Pei Heng's hand was filled with mist, and through the mist, he looked clearly into A Huan's eyes.

Those eyes are so similar to the late emperor's, they are elegant and beautiful, with a distinct elegance.

"That's true." Pei Heng said, "I had no choice but to go to the Jiangzhou Army camp to borrow troops and horses without authorization. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

He never said in the end that he was not using an imperial envoy order to second his troops.

When it comes to soldiers and horses, it seems to be a taboo between the two, and the tiger amulet that Pei Heng handed in has not yet returned to his hand.

Pei Huan was silent for a moment, then looked at Pei Heng: "No matter what others say, I always look forward to your safe and prosperous life, Cheng Yin, do you believe me or not?"

After finishing speaking, he felt that the words were too heavy, and said: "I didn't give you the right to use soldiers and horses this time. I just judged the situation by mistake. If you come back safely, everything is easy to talk about."

Calling him Uncle Huang made him feel unhappy, calling him Cheng Yin made him really anxious.

Pei Heng paused with his fingers, put down the teacup lightly, and sighed: "Your Majesty is serious, isn't the minister doing well? Once the emperor's brother is gone, Li Qing and the Queen Mother are the family members that I am most worried about, and I swear allegiance to you." Your Majesty, I will naturally believe in Your Majesty."

Li Qing is the emperor's nickname, and there are very few people who can call it directly. As soon as Pei Heng said it, Pei Huan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The empress dowager was the only one accepted by the late emperor Pei Jian's harem, and she was the empress when she entered the palace. Until Pei Jian passed away, A Huan succeeded to the throne and became the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager Sun has always been highly respected by Pei Heng, but Sun's relatives, headed by An Guogong, seem to be growing stronger in the court.

Pei Heng handed over his military power to save the emperor from being in a dilemma.

"The case of Laizhou involves many people, especially the principal culprit is a student of Mr. Sun." Pei Heng reminded.

Lord Sun refers to Sun Yongshang, Minister of the Ministry of War.

The Sun family is in the court, and there are three members under the same surname, and An Guogong is one of them. In the battle of Quanping Port, Pei Heng's men lost [-] Jiangzhou troops, so they are inseparable from An Guogong.The tree has big roots and deep roots, so I can't move it for a while, Pei Heng also gently reminded the emperor to be prepared, whether to take it lightly this time, or not to tolerate it anymore.

The emperor nodded.

After a long time, he smiled faintly, and the young man's face already had the majesty of an emperor: "Sometimes, I always wonder when I can become a king like my father."

"My mother said that I look very similar to my father, but I can't remember what my father looks like... Uncle Huang is looking at me, is he also looking at my father?" Pei Huan asked slowly.

Comparing one emperor with another emperor has always been a big taboo, the little emperor is always in a state of confusion, Pei Heng thought, what can he do but be vague.

It is true that he and the first emperor Pei Jian have a deep relationship, and it is true that he often misses the old man, but he does not want to disturb the little emperor.For this reason, Pei Heng has already hidden all the things left by the late emperor in the mansion, and only occasionally went to see it alone in the dead of night.

Who can blame?The only one to blame is Xiandi Pei Jian, he is really a wonderful person.

Pei Heng couldn't bear it, and patted the back of the little emperor's hand: "When you come back, you feel that you've lost weight, so it's because you've been thinking so wildly all day, why don't you go out with you to relax in a few days?"

Pei Huan's eyes lit up, he lowered his head again, and said after a while, "It's a lonely talk."

"Your Majesty, every good emperor has his youth, even the first emperor."

Pei Heng resigned from the palace, the queen mother is not here today, so he went straight back to the palace.

He has always regarded taking care of the late emperor's widow and the young emperor as his duty. Apart from that, he has nothing to worry about except the thousands of miles of territory guarded by the hundreds of thousands of Zhaowu Tiefutu in northern Xinjiang.

Seven years ago, Pei Jian died of illness.

On that day, the young and frivolous Prince Rui also disappeared.He promised to guard the little emperor's long life and his country's well-being for a hundred years.

Prince Rui's Mansion is located in the bustling market area, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and the house occupies a huge area.

The palace in Jiangling, the capital city, is Pei Heng's only palace, but in detail, he lived in the military camp for the longest time.

Xu Jin followed Jin Yu to the palace first, and when he entered the courtyard, it was actually as simple and elegant as Shen's house, with exquisite flowers, trees, pavilions and pavilions, but not luxurious.The veranda arches are winding one after another, and the pavilions are elegant.

From a distance, you can see a towering hibiscus tree in the mansion. The flowering period has not yet come, and when the flowers bloom, I don't know what grand scene it will be.

Just halfway, Long Zhang was picked up by his uncle's Xiling Guard, judging by his expression, he probably has a good meal waiting for him when he returns home.Jin Yu handed over the letter that Pei Heng had prepared in advance, and asked Xilingwei to pass it on to Long Zhang's uncle, and Prince Yourui personally interceded, so that Long Zhang could save a few beatings.

As soon as they arrived at the palace, a clear young voice came from behind: "Brother Xu Jin! Master Jin!"

When Xu Jin and Jin Yu turned their heads, they saw Long Zhang chasing after him with his braids all over his head, the smile on his face was a little crazy under the jolt of the horse.

"Could it be that I was beaten stupid." Jin Yu looked hard.

"It was stupid." Xu Jin laughed.

"Brother Xu Jin, I will stay in your prince's mansion for a few days. Come on, let's go in first..." Long Zhang rushed to get off his horse and warmly greeted everyone to enter the mansion. It was hard to tell whose house it was. .

Servants came in and out to carry things, King Rui returned to the mansion, everyone's faces were beaming.

The blue bird followed closely with its swaying tail feathers. Long Zhang obviously escaped halfway in fear of crime. His uncle may have prepared many perverted tortures. The children of Xilingsi and Fengxuan officials' children are often nightmares in their childhood.

Jin Yu ordered the housekeeper to tidy up the room, and Long Zhang lived next to Xu Jin's courtyard as usual.

Xu Jin has been lethargic lately, and couldn't wait for the room to be furnished, so she went straight to Pei Heng's bedroom after asking the way.

Xuanjiawei in the mansion didn't know whether to stop him, Jin Yu waved his hand: "What's there to stop him? If he is happy, he will turn into a wisp of smoke and float in, can you stop him?"

As soon as Pei Heng arrived at the palace, the first thing that caught his eye was the monkey dragon badge crawling on the tree, the old lady Jin Yu who was drinking all over the garden, and the beautiful shark Xu Jin who thoughtfully reserved half of the place on his bed.

Pei Heng looked at the twilight on the edge of the capital city, and the sky filled with clouds and clouds, and suddenly felt that these four or nine cities are actually very good.
