Chang 'an. In the Imperial Palace.
Li Shi Min had been feeling uneasy for the past few days, and his eyelids were twitching.
At this moment.
"Your Majesty, Chen An hasn't gone to work in the three provinces and six ministries for three days!"”
Li Shi Min was shocked.
Three days?
That hateful little fellow had not appeared for the third day?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Immediately send someone to the Chen Residence to see what he is doing in the residence.”
"Here!"
The eunuchs quickly sent a few eunuchs out of the palace to investigate the Chen residence.
Who would have thought…
fifteen minutes later, the young eunuch returned.
"Your Majesty, Chen An is not in the residence. According to Chen An's mother, Chen An was ordered by the Emperor to go to Yu County on official business.”
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
When would he send the little guy to Yu County? Why didn't I know?
Li Shi Min panicked.
He seemed to have a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
"Men!" Li Shi Min shouted.
Upon hearing the shout, Door God Qin Qiong immediately entered the hall.
"Your Majesty!"
"Minister Qin, immediately send the Golden Guards to Yu County to find Chen An. No matter what he is doing in Yu County, bring him back immediately.”
"Here!"
The door god received the order and quickly sent a team of Golden Guards to E County.
E County, Di County belongs to Jingzhao Prefecture, only twenty or thirty miles away from Chang 'an.
The Golden Guards took less than an hour to reach Yu County.
At the county office.
The county magistrate was dumbfounded by the Jinwu Guards 'questions.
"Chen An didn't come to the county government. I haven't seen him these few days.”
"What about the city? Is he playing in the city?" The captain of the Golden Guards asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the county magistrate of Yu County quickly summoned the bailiffs to investigate the city…
Not long after, the bailiffs returned.
"Magistrate, we've asked the guards at the city gate, but no one has seen the child prodigy. He also asked the merchants in the city and the people in the area. They also said that they had never seen the little prodigy.”
Hearing this, the Golden Guards turned pale with fright.
It was over, it was over.
Something big was about to happen.
The little guy who would feel uncomfortable if he didn't cause trouble was not in Chang 'an or E County.
Then where did he go?
With anxiety in their hearts, they mounted their horses and galloped toward Chang 'an.
…The
palace.
"What is it? Not in E County?" Li Shi Min was stunned.
In the next moment.
Countless panic surged into his heart.
"Quick, quickly summon the nine ministers into the palace!”
"Here!"
After receiving the emperor's orders, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, there's no need to be polite. I just received news that Chen An is missing!”
[What?]
Fang Xuanling and the others paled.
"He's not in Chang 'an. According to his mother, this child was ordered by me to go to Yu County for official business. In the end, when the Golden Guards went to investigate, there was no one in Yu County.”Li Shi Min quickly explained the situation.
Everyone had a bad feeling.
Everyone panicked.
However,
at this moment, even more terrifying news came one after another.
"Report: The assistant minister of the Ministry of War requests an audience.”
The matters of the Ministry of War were related to the country. Even if Li Shiming was sleeping, he had to get up immediately.
"Announce!"
"The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War is here!”
Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp shout, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War strode into the Dew Hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty.”
"No need for formalities! Did Minister Li send a message back with a beacon fire?”Li Shi Min asked anxiously.
Hearing this, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the Minister has not sent back any news. I want to talk about Chen An."
What was that? Chen An again?
Li Shi Min was panicking, so were Fang Xuan Ling and the others.
"Your Majesty, Chen An has not been on duty in the Ministry of War for several days. In addition, on the last day of his disappearance, he actually flipped through the top-secret military intelligence documents of the Ministry of War.”
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War reported shakily.
He was afraid. He was really afraid.
The little fellow had read the top secret military intelligence document and then disappeared…This kind of situation was equivalent to treason.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War did not dare to hide it anymore.
What if there were some serious consequences later on and Tian Zi investigated, but he didn't report it?
That would be the end of their lives!
Because of this, after thinking for three days, the Minister of War finally mustered his courage and walked into the palace to meet the Emperor.
At this moment.
Hearing his report, the ministers and ministers were shocked.
"What is he trying to do? Who allowed him to read military intelligence documents? Is he rebelling?" Li Shi Min shouted angrily.
Unfortunately, things were not over yet.
Accompanied by this roar, another voice came from outside the hall.
"Report: The Empress has sent someone to see you!”
What was that? Empress?
Hearing this, Li Shi Min was a little stunned. Did something happen in the harem?
"Tell her to wait!"
"Here!"
The eunuch quickly left the room to deliver the emperor's orders.
After all, the emperor and the ministers were discussing "state affairs" now, so how could they have the time to care about the affairs of the harem?
However…the
eunuch had just left when he came back quickly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty: The Empress 'maid said that there is an urgent matter to ask Your Majesty to return to the harem.”
"Ugh!"
It was obvious that something had really happened in the harem. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such words at this time.
The Empress of the Tang Empire was not someone who did not know the rules.
Because of this, Li Shimin could only nod."Call her in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a female official from the palace walked into the hall quickly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, just tell me, what's the matter 'that the Empress is looking for me for?”
Li Shi Min emphasized the last two words.
"Ugh! "Your Majesty, this…this…" The
female official stammered when she saw the many foreign officials in the hall.
Li Shi Min didn't have the time to do so."Just say it!"
"Here!"
The female official bowed and immediately revealed the true purpose of this trip."Yesterday, the princess 'stole' a piece of jade from the Administrative Hall.”
[What?]
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and the others quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
The princess's theft was both big and small.
Li Shi Min was stunned.
"Isn't it the Empress 'responsibility to educate the children of the harem? Why did she send someone to find me? Zhen is very busy and has no time to return to the harem." Li Shimin said unhappily,"Go back and tell the Empress," Teach Chang Le well, how can he steal at such a young age? If word got out, how would the world view the Imperial Family?”
Hearing this, the female official stopped and did not leave.
"Your Majesty, this, this…Is
there anything else?"
Hearing the extremely cold question, the female official hurriedly bowed and said,""Your Majesty, after being reprimanded by the Empress, Her Highness the Princess cried out the name of the mastermind. His Highness was threatened by someone, that's why he did the 'thief'. And the mastermind behind the scenes was called Chen An!”
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap that shook the heavens and earth, making the emperors and ministers dizzy.
At this moment.
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up from his throne.
"What is it? Chen An?"
Fang Xuanling also stood up abruptly."What is it? Chen An instructed the princess to steal the jade?"
First, he peeked at the military intelligence documents of the Ministry of War, and then he ordered the princess of the Tang Empire to steal the jade from the palace…
Was that guy trying to rebel?
Heavens!
At
this moment, no one knew what would happen next.
It was a heaven-shaking upheaval that was about to engulf the Great Tang Empire and even the entire Central Plains.
