Zhu Yipin was a little confused when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, why do you build this secret path?"
The emperor put his feet on the table and said angrily: "Of course I am going out to play, otherwise it would be boring to stay alone in this palace!"
"Ahem..." Two coughs came from different directions. The prince quickly picked up the tea and handed it over, reminding: "Your Majesty, you'd better take a sip of tea first."
The emperor also reacted, took a sip of tea, and said with a serious face: "I built this secret passage mainly to facilitate private visits in private, to sympathize with the people's sentiments, and to observe the quality of life of the people up close."
Ouyang muttered: "The idea of running away is so fresh and refined."
The emperor's face froze when he heard this, and he glared at Ouyang fiercely.
Zhu Yipin pretended not to hear, and said with cupped hands: "The emperor is really a wise man!"
The emperor took a sip of tea and said: "Since you already know, the secret passage has been almost completed, I will take you to have a look. You go back first, I will find you before the rooster crows." Then he ordered. : "My lord, please call me before the rooster crows."
The prince said calmly: "Yes, I get up earlier than the chickens."
Returning to his residence, Ouyang saw Zhu Yipin's state, shook his head and said, "Okay, you can sleep in your bed, I will call you later."
Zhu Yipin smiled and said, "Okay! That's enough, buddy!" He snored as soon as he lay down.
After playing chess for more than an hour, Wang Gonggong shouted outside the door: "Sir, the emperor asked the slave to call you and Dr. Zhu."
"Wait a minute." Ouyang called Zhu Yipin awake: "Old Zhu, let's go, it's time to set off."
The two of them were taken to the rockery by the prince. The prince said: "The emperor will be here soon, you two just wait here."
The two of them waited for more than half an hour but saw no sign of the emperor. Zhu Yipin said: "Let's come before the rooster crows. This time range is too big! Ouyang, what time is it now?"
Looking at the dark night sky, Ouyang shook his head and said, "There are no stars, so it's hard to judge. Just wait."
The waiting time is always boring. During this period, the two of them chatted about each other. Zhu Yipin asked: "Ouyang, your father is a general, so do you still have military power now?"
Ouyang looked at the dark night sky and said: "After I inherited my father's throne, I handed over all the military power, and I am slowly handing over the power of the Supervision Department."
Zhu Yipin asked in confusion: "Why? Isn't it bad to have power in your hands?"
Ouyang glanced at him and said: "Are there many princes and nobles in history who did not die well because of the power in their hands? The emperor's favor is unpredictable..." Then he changed the subject and said: "An An did that to you. , why are you avoiding it?"
When Zhu Yipin heard this, he scratched his head and said, "How should I put it? I have always regarded An An as my sister since I was a child, and I have never been able to get over that hurdle in my heart."
Ouyang said leisurely: "Don't wait until there are no flowers and break the branches, Lao Zhu."
Zhu Yipin smiled bitterly and nodded.
Time passed slowly, and the east became white. The first sound of the rooster's crow revealed that the emperor was belatedly arriving.
The emperor looked at the two of them, smiled, handed the cloak to the prince, and said: "Your Majesty, after I go out, you will have to worry about the affairs in the palace."
The prince took over the cloak and said with a serious face: "I will not give up even if I die!"
The emperor smiled and said: "Okay, there is little Ouzi following me. As long as he is here, my safety will be no problem." After speaking, he said to Ouyang and others: "Let's go."
The three of them walked into the secret passage. Ouyang looked around. The secret passage was very large. The three of them walked side by side and it seemed very spacious. There were two candlesticks every half a foot. The huge firelight made the tunnel become depressing.
"Who is it?" A "beggar" was busy with the final reinforcement of the secret tunnel. He heard a voice behind him and turned around quickly. When he saw that one of the people coming was the emperor, he immediately knelt down in the tunnel and said, "The common people don't know that the emperor is coming. , please ask the emperor to atone for your sins."
"Forget it, if I really want to chop off your head, even if you die ten times, it won't be enough." The emperor waved his hands indifferently and said to the two of them: "This person's name is Sun Zizhen, and he dug this secret passage." of."
Sun Zizhen, so he is here! Ou Yang suddenly realized.
Sun Zizhen came to the emperor with a bowed waist and said: "To inform the emperor, this secret passage still needs a few reinforcements before it can be completed. Will I just..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor interrupted: "We'll discuss your matters later. I want to go out. You lead the way first."
Sun Zizhen's eyes darkened, but she did not dare to disobey, so she led the way for the three of them.
Ouyang shook his head, this big brother actually believed what the emperor said. It's his turn to be unlucky. It is estimated that the day the tunnel is completed will be the day he dies.
After everyone walked for a long time, the temperature of the secret passage began to drop. Ouyang was a martial artist, so it didn't matter, but Zhu Yipin suffered. He was already wearing thin clothes, and suddenly walked into a place with a big temperature difference, which almost froze him to death. .
Zhu Yipin shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, where is this place? Why is it so cold?"
He tightened the thick shawl around his body and said calmly: "It's strange that it's not cold even after we're here. Bear with it. This secret passage leads directly to the icehouse outside the palace, so that I can leave the palace without anyone noticing." Yes, the exit is in front."
When the four of them came out of the secret passage, it was already bright. The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's another day."
Zhu Yipin looked at everything in front of him and felt a little unreal. He was in the imperial garden just now, but now he was on the street with people coming and going, so he sighed: "The emperor is still awesome."
The emperor smiled indifferently. This was not the first time he had come out, so he said: "Let's go, I'm a little hungry, let's go have a bowl of noodles."
Zhu Yipin looked surprised and said: "Your Majesty, you are so casual."
The emperor looked at Zhu Yipin's surprised look and was very interested, and said: "Outside, call me Mr. Huang. Also, if you eat a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, will you get tired of it?"
Zhu Yipin shook his head and said: "How can I get tired of it? I can't wait to do it."
Seeing this, the emperor muttered: "Play the piano to the ox!" and walked forward.
At this time, Chen Anan came out from nowhere, grabbed Zhu Yipin's ear, and cursed: "You Zhu Yipin, you haven't been home for so long, I really thought you were being tricked!"
Zhu Yipin said in surprise: "An An? Why are you here?"
Chen Anan laughed angrily and said, "Why am I here? Do you know that I am worried about you?!"
Seeing this, the emperor shook his head and explained: "Girl, don't worry, I told them..."
Hearing this, Chen Anan let go of Zhu Yipin, pointed at the emperor's nose and shouted: "What's your name? I don't think you're a good person. You've been talking too much, and it's been a few days. I told you You, if you don’t hand over the money, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
