Gao Ling 'er rushed into the room in a hurry. She looked at Zhangsun Minzhi, who was dressed in white, and said in a panic,
"It's His Majesty's bad guy. Sister Ji Ruxue came to catch him personally.”
Zhangsun Minzhi was stunned and said in a deep voice,"Why do you want to capture them?"”
Gao Ling 'er was about to cry." I asked Sister Ji Ruxue the same question. She said that these two children were the ones His Majesty specifically wanted after the rebellious Underworld Master."
"Why? He promised himself that he would release 400,000 refugees! Why are you still doing this?"
Zhangsun Minzhi's eyes revealed a look of disbelief as he said,""What else did Ji Ruxue say?"
"She told me not to tell you, but I really couldn't find anyone to help.”Gao Ling 'er thought of the two kids who had lost their parents. They were already pitiful enough. Now, they were even implicated by their deceased father. It was really a joke from the heavens.
Looking for Li Shimin?
Zhangsun Minzhi only felt that his actions had become difficult, but he remembered his promise.
Today, he was going to bring those two little fellows to buy a set of clothes. He had to keep his word.
However, the two of them knew that as long as the Yin siblings stayed in the palace for fifteen more minutes, they would be in more danger.
After all, His Majesty could even kill his own brother, let alone the son of his enemy.
"Ling 'Er, you stay here and don't go anywhere! I'll go and bring them back."
Zhangsun Minzhi left the room. He looked up at the dark and gloomy sky and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. The drizzle in the sky gradually became heavier.
The road ahead is unknown
I don't know when the rain will stop
......
Outside the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Great Tang Imperial Palace.
This was the main south gate of the Imperial Palace. There were three thousand guards stationed there. The security here was tight, second only to the Xuanwu Gate at the main north gate of the Imperial Palace.
The rain was heavy, and her vision was blurred by the raindrops.
A white-robed man holding a paper umbrella gradually walked in and entered the field of vision of the guards.
It was a white-robed youth with a sword at his waist!
The commander of the garrison was just about to open his mouth to berate the people of the martial world not to stay outside the palace.
Unexpectedly, that person took out a dragon-patterned jade token. On it were written four large words,"Regal Emperor Arrives".
Every garrison commander had learned how to identify those waist tokens before they took office. This one could not be fake.
In the entire world, only Xiaoyao Marquis 'eldest grandson, Minzhi, had this piece.
From this, it could be seen how much Li Shi Min favored him and how high his expectations were.
The commander of the garrison instantly put on a flattering smile.
"Greetings, Duke Xiaoyao. You still want to enter the palace in such a heavy rain. You really are doing your best for the country!”
The commander of the garrison ignored the rain and ran up to Zhangsun Minzhi, bowing and bowing. It was clear that Zhangsun Minzhi was extremely popular in the capital.
Zhangsun Minzhi nodded, took back the jade token, and entered the Vermilion Bird Sect.
He watched Bai Yi leave and enter the palace.
"Commander, it is disrespectful for Duke Xiaoyao to enter the palace with a sword at his waist!”A young guard had been staring at the Dragon Abyss Sword at Duke Xiaoyao's waist.
" What do you know?" the commander of the garrison troops scolded." Duke Xiaoyao is a favorite of His Majesty. His Majesty has personally allowed him to 'walk on the sword' in the palace. What's the big deal about bringing a sword into the Vermilion Bird Gate?!"”
The young guard nodded, thinking that Marquis Xiaoyao was only carrying a sword as a form of honor. He did not have any disloyalty, so it was even more impossible for him to assassinate the Emperor.
......
The Imperial Palace of the Great Tang was divided into the outer court and the inner court.
With Taiji Palace as the axis, the outer court to the south was where the three provinces and six ministries were established, and where the ministers of the court worked and discussed matters.
North is the harem is the emperor's queen's rest place, also known as the forbidden palace, because there are harem concubines, ministers are not allowed to enter.
Outside Taiji Palace, there was an extremely spacious square with five stone bridges in the middle. Under the bridges, there was a river flowing. The stone bricks here were all made of marble.
Every morning before the court session began, all the officials were waiting here.
Zhangsun Minzhi was walking on the stone bridge, preparing to cross the Taiji Palace and enter the harem to meet Li Shimin when the system voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
The System said," Host, why don't we go back? Don't bother about the siblings. Don't anger Li Er. Just obediently go back to the Gao residence and sleep."”
"What?" Zhangsun Minzhi asked.
The System replied,[This trip is dangerous!]
His steps were rhythmic, making a series of firm and soft sounds. Facing the continuous rain, if he couldn't even protect his own servants, how could he just eat and wait for death?
He wasn't a salted fish, he was a coward.
......
Outside the Dew Hall.
Zhangsun Minzhi came all the way here with the dragon pattern jade card.
An old eunuch stopped Zhangsun Minzhi. This old eunuch, who was about fifty years old, was Duan Shou. He had followed His Majesty and the Empress for many years and was even taken care of by the Empress.
Zhangsun Minzhi had entered the palace many times and was always led by him. He could not help but ask curiously,""Eunuch Duan?"
Eunuch Duan revealed a friendly expression and whispered,""Duke Xiaoyao, come back another day. His Majesty is still angry!”
"Because of the Turks?" Zhangsun Minzhi frowned. Didn't Li Shimin use a diversion tactic to force the Turks to retreat?
Why worry?
Eunuch Duan nodded, but he was afraid of ruining the relationship between the two, so he didn't say that Li Shimin was angry because he was disappointed in Zhangsun Minzhi.
Zhangsun Minzhi remembered that the Yin siblings were still in the palace, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead. This matter could not be delayed.
In the eyes of outsiders, their lives were as cheap as grass, but in his eyes, human lives were at stake.
"I have something important to ask for an audience.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Eunuch Duan's eyes. Could it be that Young Master Zhangsun had a plan to resist the enemy?
He immediately reported to Li Shi Min.
Little did they know that it was today's misunderstanding, plus all the things that happened before, that caused this pair of monarch and minister to turn against each other.
Soon, His Majesty summoned him.
Zhangsun Minzhi walked up the steps and entered the Dew Hall.
He had forgotten Zhangsun Wuji's warning to him before the morning court session ended.
"During this period of time, don't appear in front of His Majesty!”
There was no one who knew better than Zhangsun Wuji!
The rain became heavier.
