In a tea shed outside Shangjing City, a very plainly dressed man was sitting on the table, nibbling a piece of dry bun in his hand. The teapot and the teapot that were originally on the table were gone, and there was no one in the entire tea shed.

Seeing that they were no longer being watched, Manri looked around at the tables and chairs, which were also covered in dust. He didn't know where the original old couple had gone, but they had already taken refuge.

The man's face was covered by a long bag, so he couldn't see anything. But he didn't look like an ordinary person when he was eating. It was probably hard to swallow the steamed buns, so he just packed up his water bag and took a sip, and then

He stood up and left and headed towards Shangjing.

Emperor Xuande was not happy about the great victory at the border. He didn't know why, but he always felt panicked in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

The atmosphere in Beijing had just improved at this time. It was probably because the border report had been circulated, and people were no longer panicky. People on the street who had stopped doing business and buying groceries had returned to normal, but they were still probably

Only a few people hurried home after shopping for groceries, and only a few people would say a few words while shopping for groceries or when they were free.

"Did you hear about it? It seems that this was a great victory at the border, but it cost several generals." The man who spoke had already filled the basket with vegetables and was waiting in line for the boss to calculate the price.

, I was bored and chatted with the people next to me to calm things down.

The person next to him stopped his hand when he heard the change and said, "No, I heard that the two Zhenbei generals have passed away, and there is also a young general who has disappeared. I'm afraid it's more serious than the worst."

He shook his head, sighed again and continued to pick out the fresh vegetables.

Generally speaking, this topic is very attractive, which caused a bunch of people around to start discussing. Few of them could see the sad look on their faces, and most of them were just curious about the development of this matter.

That’s all.

"Isn't that young general Anbei the only son of the garrison general's family? His name is Ji Bo'an? He died young. I don't know how much more the emperor can do to favor him."

"Long Chong? The entire Huben Army belongs to others, I'm afraid..."

Just as one of them curled his lips and said something, he heard the people next to him shout a warning, and immediately shut up and left the stall dejectedly, for fear that he would really find someone.

The man who had been standing nearby and thought he was dressed in plain and inconspicuous clothes covered himself with a bamboo hat and turned to leave. He was just passing by when he suddenly heard these people discussing border affairs, so he stopped and listened.

That's all. He walked slowly. It was still early when he arrived at the foot of the imperial city, so he walked back and forth outside watching the purchasing palace maids and eunuchs coming in and out one after another, looking for opportunities.

When it got dark and the moonlight was hazy, and the guards had changed shifts and started patrolling, he showed his eyes and flew into the courtyard wall. The palace was heavily guarded, and there was a team almost everywhere not far away.

While patrolling, a few people would leave behind to do other things, and these people were his targets.

He had just stunned a guard who stopped and looked around as if waiting for someone. He immediately dragged the person behind the tree. When he came out again without a cup of tea, he had already changed his clothes. If it weren't for his stature,

There are some differences, but I really can't tell the difference.

After patrolling for about two or three hours, when it was time to change shifts, they slowly walked towards the entrance of the palace. At this time, they all wanted to go back and have a good rest, but no one cared too much about whether the people around them were lost, and

He then quietly sneaked towards the imperial study room. He was very familiar with the route and avoided many unnecessary troubles and people.

However, just as he was approaching the Imperial Study Room, he suddenly stopped. There was a constant pain in his chest. This pain could not be ignored. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only hide behind the trees to rest for the time being.

.

Probably because the Taoist priest was already very old, Ji Bo'an felt that his body was aging rapidly. These problems were not visible from the outside, but were more related to the internal organs.

Failure is like walking unaffected, but if he moves too much, he can't help but be out of breath for a long time, which also adds to the heartache.

At Hai hour, the person who was supposed to be resting was still sitting in the royal study room reviewing the memorial. After this victory, there were more things that needed to be dealt with by him, whether it was the Beiyi tribe or the need for further study after the war.

I was thinking about other things, so the candles in the entire hall were still on, and I had no intention of stopping.

Ji Bo'an calmed down for a long time, and the painful feeling in his heart slowly disappeared. At this time, he stared at the figure projected on the window lattice by the candlelight, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

The royal study room in the palace is a place where many guards are stationed, not only those on the surface, but also the secret guards hidden in the dark. Therefore, Ji Boan also needs to find the right time to go there, lest no one sees it and damages himself instead.

He was trapped in this cold and ruthless palace. He hid in the dark and watched for a long time, but never found a way to get in. However, when a person suddenly appeared, he finally found the opportunity, turned around and followed him.

At this time, Chief Steward Hong De was standing in the Imperial Study Room. Seeing Emperor Xuande acting like this, he couldn't bear it. He thought that the Holy Emperor could not rest until midnight every day, so he had to move the dining room to the dining room so that he could have a rest at night.

I made the pastries first, thinking I could pick them up later.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little empty in my stomach. Can I go and get you some pastries to fill your stomach?" The candlelight in front of him flickered twice, and Hong De seized the opportunity to say to Emperor Xuande in front of him,

I thought I could let people eat some so as not to ruin the dragon's body.

At this time, Emperor Xuande was reading the proposal submitted by the minister to deal with the Beiyi tribe. When he was fascinated, he just waved his hand, hoping that Hongde would shut up and wait quietly. However, he did not expect that his stomach was indeed unsatisfactory.

After calling out, he frowned and leaned on the bench behind him, then sighed and said, "Go get some pastries, it's really a little late."

Hong De gave a salute and walked towards the door. However, as soon as he opened the door, before he could go out, he saw someone standing outside the door. This time, he was not wearing a mask or cloak, and his appearance was just like the first time when they were young.

He looked ordinary when we met, as if he had been forgotten for the entire time.

"Is the emperor inside?" Fei Ling saw Hong De, who was already stunned, and asked, his voice gentle and as if there was no difference from usual.

When Hong De heard the question, he came to his senses. He saluted Feiling and called Tai Tu, then turned his body sideways and hurried out, fearing that

I can't eat this pastry anymore, and I guess I can't stand this memorial from the Holy Father either. When Hong De saw this person entering the house, he hurriedly went outside, sent everyone away, and then

The secret guards in the darkness all drove the people away from the imperial study room together.

It was when Ji Bo'an saw Fei Ling's appearance and Hong De sending everyone away that he was able to approach the imperial study. When he touched the window of the imperial study, he secretly opened a crack and looked inside. What caught his eye was this.

A scene of confrontation between two people.

"Hong De? Why are you back again? I thought that there are some things in Houyu that need to be dealt with. Tomorrow after the morning court, you will keep Prince Ding and say that I have something to discuss with him." Emperor Xuande heard the sound of the door opening and then

Hearing the sound of closing and the sound of footsteps walking towards him, he thought Hong De had something to do and forgot to come back first, so he opened his mouth and gave an order.

At this time, the Beiyi tribe was no longer able to fight, and they could only wait for peace talks with Daliang. However, the Houyu tribe had never withdrawn their troops, and they didn't know what it meant. If Houyu saw this scene, he would definitely

Won't make any more waves. Thinking of this, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but think of the sixth prince in the back corner, Hu Yanyu. The last time the three dynasties came to pay their respects, he felt that Hu Yanyu was not someone he could usually deal with. He wanted to come here.

Once the army has not retreated for a long time, this man also put in a lot of effort. It seems that the waves behind the Yangtze River are really pushing the waves ahead, and they can be dealt with like this by such a junior. Thinking of this, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but let out a long breath and stretched out his hand.

I want to rub my forehead.

"Hong De? Don't go get the cakes yet. I have a severe headache. Please come and press it for me first." Emperor Xuande closed his eyes at this time, gave an order, and waited for Hong De to come over and press it for him.

Relax your forehead.

At this time, the people from Hongde were guarding outside the door of the main hall. When the people in the room heard Emperor Xuande's words, they just blinked and walked forward. It is true that they have not been able to stand so openly in this room for many years.

Wherever you go, walking becomes much slower.

Mostly because he had been waiting for a long time and still didn't see anyone, Emperor Xuande frowned and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Why are you taking so long to do things today?"

Thinking that these things have always been like a mess, and now I am struggling to even call someone, I feel more and more angry.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the sound of rubbing sleeves coming from behind him. He thought that Red had come over, so he relaxed the frown on his face. At the same time, a pair of hands were placed on his face.

He gently tried to rub it on Emperor Xuande's temples, and at the same time, the sound also sounded and reached Emperor Xuande's ears. It was extremely gentle and gentle, unchanged from the way he taught people many years ago.
