Chapter 332: Blocked Outside
"He wants us to go back to Dingguo Palace and continue to work for him." He Jingheng snorted coldly: "He has a good plan." He waved his hand: "Let them get out of here."
Yuntian came to the entrance of the village and said to the people standing a few hundred meters away: "The prince is not feeling well and will not see guests. Please go back!"
The person in charge of this trip was Xu Yuan, a second-rank minister. Xu Yuan had no grudges against the Dingguo Palace and was considered upright in the court. He had previously interceded for the exile of the Dingguo Palace. Emperor Tianshun thought that if he was allowed to come, He Jingheng would give him this favor anyway. Xu Yuan knew He Jingheng's temper very well. How could such an arrogant person agree to re-establish the Dingguo Palace in this way? Wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting that the Dingguo Palace had committed treason?
What does it mean to be reinstated after making meritorious contributions while serving a sentence?
Clearly there is no sin, only merit.
So he used the excuse that he was too old to travel long distances. Emperor Tianshun had no choice but to send the Secretary-General Zheng Qi to come.
He had been at odds with the Dingguo Palace for a long time, and had received instructions from Concubine Zhao, so he did not come here sincerely to be enthroned. Before leaving Beijing, Concubine Zhao had sent someone to instruct him to find an opportunity to convict the Dingguo Palace of treason and disobeying the imperial edict.
To her, the Ding Palace was not the patron saint of Tianshun, but the death warrant of her son.
The Dingguo Palace is powerful. If her son has any rebellious intentions, will he have a good ending?
She would not allow, and would never allow, any factor that would threaten the crown prince's ascension to the throne.
For this reason, she would never allow anyone from Prince Ding's Palace to return to the capital.
At this moment, Zheng Qi looked at Yuntian with anger on his face. Although he was far away, he could still feel the contempt in Yuntian's tone.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Zheng Qi shouted angrily, "I came here with an imperial decree, but He Jingheng refused to see me! He is so tired of living!"
"Master Zheng." Xu Zimo walked forward and pouted, "Can we still go in? If not, I will go back first. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I am exhausted."
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep. We've been here for such a long time, but we can't even get into the village, and you're still sleeping!" Zheng Qi glared at him and said loudly, "Why don't you think of a solution!" Last night, the sound of stringed instruments in his room lasted until dawn. He must have been fooling around with those singing girls all night. He has been here for so long, and he has been either going to the restaurant or listening to music in the mansion all day long. He has not thought of any solution. People who don't know him would think he is here to enjoy the scenery.
Facing his glaring and angry expression, Xu Zimo simply ignored him.
They couldn't see He Jingheng, but they met that ancestor every day.
Last night he was forced to play chess all night long, and he could only get away by letting the singer sing in his room.
That bastard He Jingheng dragged him into the water even though he didn't have a wife to accompany him.
"Lord Zheng, if you don't want to go back, then I will go back first." He yawned and walked towards the carriage.
"Stop right there!" Zheng Qi pulled him back and said, "Aren't you on good terms with him? Bring your stuff in. Maybe he'll let us in for your sake."
Xu Zimo looked at him as if he was a fool.
Could it be that He Jingheng doesn’t know he is here?
Without waiting for him to speak, Zheng Qi pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and shouted to Yun Tian, "Tell your son that Xu Zimo wants to see you."
I thought Yuntian would come over to take the jade pendant, but he just bowed and said, "My master said that if Master Xu comes, he will let the tiger bite people."
What the hell?
Let the tiger bite people?
As soon as Yuntian finished speaking, the two tigers slowly stood up and looked at them with drooping faces.
Zheng Qi was shocked: "Someone come, someone come!"
Xu Zimo spread his hands: "Look, what did I say? Let's go back to sleep!" After he finished speaking, he took back his jade pendant, glared at him secretly, and then turned and left.
Seeing Xu Zimo return to the carriage, Zheng Qi dared not stay any longer and hurried back to the carriage.
Just kidding, if it was Yun Tian who was walking towards them, he wouldn't be afraid, after all, he was holding the imperial edict in his hand, and the whole world belonged to the king. Even if it was He Jingheng, he would kneel down when he saw the imperial edict, but it was different for a tiger, who would care about the imperial edict? Could it be expected that it could read?
Yuntian returned to the mansion and told He Jingheng what had just happened. Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Letting a tiger bite people?" She looked at He Jingheng and asked, "Did you really come up with this?"
He Jingheng glanced at Yuntian, and Yuntian quickly said, "Princess Consort, I was just talking nonsense."
"well done."
Yuntian was delighted and was about to speak when he felt two pairs of eyes falling on him.
He slowly raised his head and saw the prince looking at him with an unexpected expression.
He was startled and quickly lowered his head.
Zheng Qi and others returned to the post station and were so angry that they swept all the teapots on the table to the ground.
"It's the opposite, it's really the opposite!"
"Sir, why don't we go back to the capital directly and say that the people in Dingguo Palace disobeyed the order and punish them directly? Isn't this also what the Imperial Concubine meant?"
Zheng Qi frowned. Before leaving, the emperor suddenly notified that the young master of the Xu family should accompany him. There must be a hidden meaning behind it. Could it be that he was afraid that they would take revenge on each other, so they turned back before meeting the people in the Dingguo Palace, and then accused them of disobeying the emperor's order?
"No." He said in a deep voice: "Xu Ziluo is still here. If we tell others about this, it won't be that they are disobeying the emperor's order, but that we have failed to fulfill our responsibilities. It's not certain who will be punished!"
"I was obviously rejected by the Dingwang Palace."
"What do you mean by 'turned away'? Where is the door to the Ding Palace? We haven't even entered the village, so where is the door?"
"But, it was clearly them who ordered the tiger to block the road, so we couldn't get in!"
The key point is that the tiger was not an ordinary tiger. The rain of arrows shot by the archers did not hurt them at all.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qi slapped him on the forehead: "You said it was a tiger blocking the road. Which eye of yours saw that the people from Dingguo Palace ordered them?" His eyes were deep. He didn't expect that the Dingguo Palace would have such deep scheming. Now it seems that the entire exile land is the territory of their Dingguo Palace.
He didn't know that it was more than just a place of exile. Now the entire Qingzhou was under the control of He Jingheng. From the moment they set foot in Qingzhou, their every move and every word was under his eyes.
"This matter needs long-term consideration."
At night, a figure shuttled through the night sky.
When Xu Zimo arrived at the entrance of the village, the two tigers saw that it was him and they were too lazy to open their eyes and fell asleep directly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, they are just two stupid tigers, look how scared Zheng Qi and the others are."
Hearing him say this, Erhu, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes instantly.
