Normally, there is a curfew at night, and there are many rules in the palace, so no one will enter or leave the palace.
But tonight's situation is obviously different from usual.
Especially the counselors are still in the Wenhua Hall.
When they want to leave the palace and return home, they will enter and exit through the palace gate.
"This..." The general guarding the city was a little embarrassed.
Xu Miaojin's identity is extraordinary.
Although he is only a fifth-grade official in name, he is also in charge of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, not his immediate boss.
But who doesn't know that she is the popular person in front of His Highness the Grand Sun?
Whether it's the commander of the Jinyi Guards or the eunuch Bingbi in the palace, who doesn't sell her face?
As the saying goes, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door".
In fact, the number of cronies around the prime minister are not limited to the seventh rank?
Not to mention the person next to His Highness the Grand Sun.
What she said was, to a certain extent, the will of His Highness the Grand Sun.
But this was not an order given by His Highness Taisun himself.
If it had been anyone else, it would have been fine.
How could he, a small palace gatekeeper, dare to stop the counselor who was handling government affairs in the palace?
Put a rope on the city gate to let them in and out?
Wouldn't it be wrong to say that those people have high positions of power, and behaving like this is a great insult to them.
The censors in the court are afraid that they will gather together to impeach him for being a master of power and must be severely punished.
Even if he really dared to do this, he was afraid that those people's bodies wouldn't be able to bear it.
After all, the counselor is not a soldier in the palace, he is physically strong.
Many of them are in their seventies or eighties.
They couldn't stand hanging people off the city wall with ropes!
I just have a basket, but just in case...
But to refuse outright...to offend this little girl who is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family and is now blushing purple?
The guard vaguely felt a little cold on his neck.
A single word from this person in front of his great grandson could cause him to be dismissed from office or even have his head moved.
Xu Miaojin was smart and smart. When she saw the other party's hesitation, she immediately understood something.
"Is Yang Shiqi, the general manager of the People's Supervision Department, still in the Advisory Office?" she asked softly.
The gatekeeper general said hurriedly: "Still."
"Okay." Xu Miaojin said: "I won't make it difficult for you. First, don't open the palace door. Second, if the counselors want to leave the palace tonight, they must obtain their unanimous consent, especially the permission of Master Yang Shiqi. Military Affairs The same goes for ministers here."
She paused and then warned: "Tonight's situation is very special. You have done a great job by guarding the palace gate. If not, your majesty and grandson will be held accountable in the future, and the lives of your whole family will be at risk."
As soon as these words came out, the face of the gatekeeper general changed again.
He didn't know what happened.
But although Xu Miaojin is only a twelve-year-old girl, she is also a minister of the court and a popular person around the grandson.
Since she said this, something big must have happened.
If there is any further hesitation, I'm afraid it will not be a loss of official position, but a catastrophe of annihilation of the family.
What's more, the counselor is not allowed to come in or out, although he, the gatekeeper general, has no right to do so.
But if there are other counselors who block it, then he can just let them go their own way.
Until you figure it out, it doesn't matter if you don't open the door.
"I humbly obey my orders!"
The gatekeeper general responded quickly.
Xu Miaojin nodded slightly.
The reason why she specifically mentioned Yang Shiqi was because among the many counselors in the DPRK, even Yang Jing had been an official for many years and had complex connections.
Only Yang Shiqi was still a young man and was promoted by Zhu Yunxuan to head the People's Supervision Department and to serve in the Advisory Office.
He has no foundation in the government.
Moreover, it was a special promotion that was particularly gracious, bearing a deep imprint of the grandson's lineage.
No opponent would tolerate someone like him.
If His Highness Taisun falls, he will definitely not be able to survive.
Therefore, at this critical moment, Xu Miaojin could trust him.
Moreover, she also heard that although Yang Shiqi was new to officialdom and had risen to the top in one step, he was very talented and could be a prime minister or assistant.
If that's the case, he will definitely be able to handle tonight's affairs well.
Although the news was unclear at this time, the little girl's intuition told her that Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunqi and others had been planning for so long, and if they didn't move, it would be a thunderous move.
If anything happens to His Majesty and that boy.
She took a deep breath... to push herself away from these thoughts.
Later, Xu Miaojin ordered the guard to bring a horse.
At this time, there were no more pedestrians on the street. She mounted her horse, whipped her horse, and ran straight away.
despair!
despair!
despair!
The rapid sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night and spread far away.
The vigil soldiers patrolling the streets came looking for the sound.
"Who rides a horse at night and has a legal document?"
A soldier on watch held a torch high and shouted from a distance.
"Stop and check!"
Xu Miaojin did not rein in his horse, but shouted: "I am Xu Miaojin, the director of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau. I have an urgent matter to deal with. Please get out of the way quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the horse rushed to the soldier.
The soldier was slightly startled, but was pulled away by his companion.
Xu Miaojin galloped past him like flying.
The soldier looked back and saw that the person grabbing him was actually the captain leading the patrol.
The capital's night patrols always consist of a team of five people.
If anything happens, I can provide support.
"Captain, why didn't you stop her for inspection?"
The soldier asked in confusion: "According to Ming Dynasty law, everyone must have a pass document at night. Otherwise, the night patrol will arrest him immediately and hand it over to the responsible department..."
"Snapped!"
Before he could finish his voice, he was slapped hard on the back of the head by the captain.
"You even want to capture Miss Xu. Next time, do you have to capture His Highness the Grand Sun and the Holy One?"
This soldier is a new recruit.
Always stupid.
He was not very familiar with the personnel in the capital, including the princes and marquises.
After hearing this, he still couldn't help but ask: "Miss Xu? Who is she?"
Another soldier next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't you read People's Daily? Miss Xu is the Queen of Zhongshan King and a popular figure around His Highness Taisun."
"Don't just ride a horse on the street, even if she wants to ride into the palace now, no one would dare to stop her."
When the soldier heard this, he immediately stuck out his tongue and was frightened.
He was from an ordinary family and had no connections with the powerful people in the capital.
The biggest officials you can deal with on weekdays are nothing more than eighth- and ninth-grade city officials.
That is already a high-ranking big shot.
Although in the land of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are more officials than cows.
But since ancient times, the Hou Men are as deep as the sea.
The officials in the court and the patrolling soldiers did not live in the same circle, so there would be no intersection.
He touched his head and thought that he was lucky that he didn't stop her horse.
Otherwise, if I offend that aunt, wouldn’t it be...
He was still frightened, and then he thought about something again, and asked again: "The night is already dark, and the sky is so cold. How come a noble person like her is riding a horse on the street alone in the middle of the night when she is not warming herself by the fire at home?" Isn’t it possible that some bad person is imitating him?”
"We did not check her passport documents, nor did we verify her identity. If she is really a bad person and does any bad things, it will be a serious crime if she is investigated in the future."
Snapped!
As soon as his voice fell, he was hit hard on the back of the head by the leader.
"What are you thinking about?"
"When I passed by just now, I could clearly see that she was a girl of eleven or twelve years old."
"The voice can also be heard clearly."
"Among girls of her age, she is the only one in the entire Jinling City who can ride a horse and gallop."
"If another eleven or twelve-year-old girl couldn't even get on a horse, how could she be able to fly like her?"
"It's possible for a bad guy to pretend to be someone else. He wants to pretend to be an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Why don't you give me a try?"
The soldier slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, but I am too stupid."
"It's just that the weather is weirdly cold and it's dark. What's her emergency?"
This time, the captain didn't hit him in the head.
Instead, he looked towards the direction Xu Miaojin was running towards, stared deeply, and sighed: "What can make her so anxious must be a big event. I hope the world is at peace!"
There was a hint of sadness hidden in his words.
Vaguely, it seemed that something big was about to happen.
There was turmoil in the DPRK and the political situation changed.
As a member of the Gongmen near the capital, if a slight change happened to him accidentally, it would turn into a big mountain.
"Captain, what can happen?" A soldier next to him said: "The sky is falling, and His Highness Taisun is holding it up. He is the God of War in the Sky and the True Monarch of Blessing Saint."
"Too."
"Your Highness Taisun, bless you," the captain said.
"His Royal Highness Taisun bless you."
"Lingxiao God of War bless you."
"Bless you, the Holy Lord."
Several soldiers prayed one after another.
Then, continue patrolling.
The night is getting darker.
Flooded everything.
