C1116 The Forbidden City in a state of consternation (1/2)
The entire Forbidden City was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, diluting the rare celebrations of the New Year. Yi Yuan and the others dismounted from their horses at noon, and before the eunuchs could arrange a sedan chair for them, they quickly trotted towards the direction of the imperial harem.
After noon, they passed through the Chastity Gate on the west side of the Door of Supreme Harmony and jogged to the west side of the square. The surrounding imperial guards, eunuchs and walking officials were all stunned.
They went through the middle right gate all the way to the back right gate. Even though Yi Wu and Yi Xuan had trained and trained their bodies everyday, they still sweated profusely and their bodies were wet and sticky from the cold east wind.
After they passed the gate on the right was the Outer Court and Inner Court's Divided Sky Street, and the one facing the gate on the right was the Military Intelligence Service that was established by the father, Yongzheng. At this moment, countless Military Intelligence Service Zhang Jing was standing at the door and looking out, all of them looked like they were disheartened from their examination and criticism, as though they were silent and did not know what to do.
In the past two hundred years, they had encountered all sorts of obstacles. The north fought with the old setae, the northwest fought with Zenith, Qing Zang also fought in the distance, and the southern long-haired rebellion was also settled … Normally, the removal of the Ryukyu from the vassal lords would not cause the imperial government to be so flustered, but this time was different. The emperor was by Xiao Letian's side, how could this be good!
After he passed the right rear door, before they could even reach the entrance of Military Intelligence Service, a group of splendid eunuchs rushed out from the Inner Right Gate towards the rear palace from the east side of Military Intelligence Service, led by the big eunuch, Li Lianying. Then, the big eunuch, Zhou Daoying, followed behind them.
”Aiyo, my ancestors! Mother and father …” The two princes finally came, if you didn't come now, the Yangxin Palace would collapse. The two empress dowager almost got carried away by that rebellious attitude, how could this be alright … ”
Li Lianying rushed forward and cried as tears fell from her eyes, asking closely, ”What's the situation? How come I have to trouble the two eunuchs to come out personally? ” Taking a careful look at Li Lianying's mouth, Li Lianying saw that there was a red handprint on her palm, it seemed like she did not serve her well.
Yi Xuan secretly took out two pieces of paper from his sleeves and with just a glance, Li Lianying and Zhou Daoying knew that it was the three thousand dollar Letian Bank's promissory note.
Yi Xuan silently stuffed the promissory note into the two eunuchs' sleeves, ”What did the two Old Buddha s say? Has the imperial decree been passed down? ”
Zhou Daoying sighed, ”Stop asking, the claws are already numb. Just now, the empress dowager even wanted the Xishan Camp to rescue the emperor immediately. It's a good thing that the Master Weng was already here a long time ago to persuade her …”
When they were close to the Military Intelligence Service, Yi Jie stopped and asked coldly: ”What are you all looking at? Could it be that an island in the East Sea could overturn the heavens? Someone, come … I want to see who has the leisure to take note of all these names! ”
His single sentence had scattered the crowd of people, this group of Zhang Jing flew off like a swarm of flies, and all of them rushed back into Military Intelligence Service's rundown house.
Yi Yu turned his head and said to his subordinates, ”Inform the Department of Rites and Rites. The ceremony will continue as usual and we can pay them 20% of the fees according to the rules. If they don't have enough money, we can send them to the Head Office.” ”This is the most important time to stabilize the human heart!”
”Tell the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send me the details of the deposit immediately. If the capital city is filled with people, I'm afraid it will affect the price. We have to take precautions!”
The human heart was like this, no matter how powerful the women were normally, when they met with chaos, they would subconsciously listen to the man. Qing Dynasty, the big family, stood up straight, and suddenly, the eunuchs were no longer as anxious.
”Ah!” ”This servant will do it right away …” Two eunuchs and two guards left quickly after receiving their orders.
