Yamazaki and Shandai left the city immediately, because this was the safest way to avoid the emperor looking for him by name.
He is now considered to be a rising star. It is normal for the emperor to keep him in the capital or even kill him.
There was a time lag at this time, because the emperor was at the court meeting, and the royal spies could not report everything.
The emperor may have known about him by now, but not yet that he was leaving the capital.
And it is impossible for the royal spies to know what he is going to do now, and it is impossible to inform the emperor in advance.
Therefore, when the royal spies found out that he was leaving Beijing, they could only send a message up and track him at the same time.
Regardless of whether the emperor has said that he does not need to ask for instructions on everything, royal spies will not dare to go beyond it easily.
Especially for someone like him who only has third-rate martial arts skills, the royal agents must think that he can't escape.
Therefore, they would not attack him without the emperor's instructions.
And when the emperor knew that he had left the capital and the order to intercept him came, he had already gone into hiding.
…
the other side.
Yamazaki's story about punishing the eunuch You Yunxiang in the street has spread a lot in the capital.
Although the court meeting has not ended, the officials have not yet returned home, and each family is leaderless.
But some retired veterans who did not have to go to court, as well as academies, gangs and other forces, still noticed.
The shrewd old men were surprised, but they also felt that there was a deeper meaning in it.
After all, if the eunuch You Yunxiang wants to clean up a fifth-grade idle official, there is no need to resort to imperial edicts.
And this shows that what eunuch You Yunxiang said is true, the emperor wants to see Duan Shi today.
In other words, if the emperor leaves the civil and military officials of the court alone during the court meeting, he must be honest.
What's going on here?
…
Royal Palace, outside the Golden Palace.
The spy leader was milling around outside the Golden Palace, with a large group of spies surrounding him, passing news back and forth and passing him the latest news.
Seeing the eunuch You Yunxiang coming over, the spy commander grabbed him.
"What are you doing? I'm in a hurry to spread the news."
"I know, you were tricked by that kid."
The eunuch You Yunxiang was startled, "Does your Majesty know?"
"Your Majesty still doesn't know that I can't go to the palace, so please tell your Majesty as well."
"What?"
"That boy is leaving the capital with his sister, and Duan Shi's housekeeper is preparing the carriage and horses, and seems to be leaving the capital as well. I have people following him and can stop him at any time."
"I see."
The eunuch You Yunxiang left in a hurry, but the spy commander hesitated and did not hold him back.
He wanted to report that Mrs. Duan took people to the coffin shop, but they were sure that Mrs. Duan had not ordered a coffin, and she probably had no intention of carrying the coffin to the palace gate to cause trouble.
Therefore, I am not sure what is going on with Mrs. Duan for the time being.
At this time, it is really difficult to report it.
…
At the meeting.
The eunuch You Yunxiang appeared and was summoned by the emperor.
He knelt beside the dragon chair and explained the situation, naturally not saying that he wanted to forcefully wake up Duan Shi.
He only said that he wanted to take Duan Shi into the palace, but Duan Shi's grandnephew stopped him, saying that he did not believe what he said and asked him for an imperial edict.
Everyone in Tai Hospital also doubted him, so that people all over the street doubted him, so he could only come back to ask for the imperial edict.
Emperor Duanmuhuan was surprised when he heard this, and asked softly: "Is that part really sick? What did the doctors say?"
"The doctors said he was poisoned by a strange poison."
"Poisoned?" Emperor Duanmuhuan frowned, because he suspected it was a gangster trick.
The eunuch You Yunxiang saw it and said quickly: "The poison has entered the blood and all the internal organs have been damaged."
"The doctors say that since he has no martial arts, no inner energy to protect his body, and is old and frail, he may not be able to survive."
"To make him go to court, he must use a whole thousand-year-old ginseng to strengthen his energy and strengthen his body, so that he will not die in the golden palace."
Emperor Duanmuhuan was speechless. The price of a thousand-year-old ginseng plant was a bit high for him as an emperor.
After all, he, the emperor, could not order the thousand-year-old ginseng to come to Beijing to refine medicine for him.
"Your Majesty." The eunuch You Yunxiang passed on the secret agent's words and waited for instructions.
"Tell him to pull people over."
"who?"
"That boy, I heard that he came here before and then left. Why did he suddenly come back now, just in time for this matter."
The eunuch You Yunxiang was startled, "Your Majesty, you suspect that someone has leaked the news?"
"Idiot, there is no rumor about this matter, and it can't be so fast."
"Of course I can't compare to Your Majesty, but what's going on?"
Emperor Duanmuhuan waved his hand, "If you don't expect it, go and send the message. Don't let anyone run away."
"Yes! Wei Chen will go right now, but Duan Shi's side?"
"Well, you can ask the imperial doctor if a whole plant of thousand-year-old ginseng can definitely bring Duan Shi to court."
"yes!"
…
The eunuch You Yunxiang took Emperor Yi out of the Golden Palace, and the spy commander immediately ordered someone to intercept him.
At this time, about half an hour had passed since the eunuch You Yunxiang left the Duan family.
He has received news that Yamazaki and Shandai have left the city, but the horses have not yet started running due to the large number of people on the road.
In total, we have reached the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, there is also a flying pigeon station arranged there.
Just when the order was sent out here, new news came over there, and Yamazaki and Shandai had already begun to speed up.
The secret agent commander's expression changed, because after all calculation, the suburbs of the city might not be able to catch up.
We can only fly pigeons to notify checkpoints hundreds of miles away, hoping to stop people in time.
…
On the other side, outside the palace.
The imperial doctors were approaching with the carriage carrying Duan Shi, followed by a large group of spectators.
The second aunt's grandmother was also in the crowd. Seeing the eunuch You Yunxiang leaving the palace empty-handed, she knew that the emperor had not changed his mind.
I can only follow Yamazaki's advice and cry bravely to save her husband.
The second aunt's grandmother gritted her teeth, took Ma Xiao with her, and walked out quickly using the lifting method.
"Who is it?" The guards were alert.
The second aunt's grandmother knelt on the bridge outside the city, raised her breath and made a sound, using her inner breath to spread the sound!
"The old woman knelt down and begged your majesty to beg for the bones of her husband Duan Shi, and asked your majesty to allow him to return to his hometown."
The sound was like thunder, causing all the civil and military officials above the Golden Palace to change their expressions, and the emperor also looked shocked.
"My husband, Duan Shi, Duan Chenggang, took the imperial examination in Beijing at the age of eighteen. At the age of twenty-one, he received the permission of the late emperor to become an official."
Emperor Duanmuhuan heard clearly this time, realized that something was wrong, and looked at the secret agent commander who appeared at the entrance of the palace.
He waved his hand to go out and deal with it, so as not to expose everything and be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
The second aunt's grandmother's voice continued, "Although my official position is low, I have always been dedicated and diligent."
"Now, more than thirty years later, I still can't have enough food to fill my stomach. I rely entirely on the old woman's charity to survive."
"I don't know what His Majesty saw in him this time. He insisted on asking him to write some kind of memorial. He stayed up all night and wrote all night. He suddenly suffered from an emergency."
Emperor Duanmuhuan was shocked when he heard this. He almost broke the armrest of the dragon chair with his hands.
All officials in the court suddenly realized that His Majesty was waiting for Duan Shi's memorial today.
They communicated with each other with their eyes, and found that they didn't know what it was.
They secretly glanced at the emperor on the dragon throne and lowered their heads, waiting for the emperor to speak.
