After making these arrangements and watching Guan Qing and the others leave in person, Geng's heart finally let go. He can finally have a good rest now. When he enters the city tomorrow, he will meet the emperor and hold an errand. This time the matter will be over.

Thinking of this, Geng'er, who was in a good mood, even ate a few more bites of supper, then took a break early. When the daylight was bright the next day, Geng'er, who had been resting for a night, continued to set off in high spirits. As noon approached, they finally arrived in Xi'an City.

"I'm finally back..." Looking up at the city gate, Geng's chest breathed. At this moment, several people rode horses from the city and arrived in front of Geng's erection in a blink of an eye.

"Geng Zhongtang, you are back." The leader Geng E knew him, the second-class guard Tong Shou, who turned over and saluted him immediately.

"It's Tong Shou, what's wrong? Are you here to pick me up?" Geng E asked with a smile.

Tong Shou nodded and said, "Didn't this be answered by Zhongtang yesterday? He said that he would arrive in Beijing today. The emperor and several adults in the study were discussing affairs in the palace. He asked the servants to come here to see if you have arrived at Zhongtang. If you have arrived, please enter the palace as soon as possible..."

"Convention?" Geng E frowned slightly. Although the imperial envoy like him returned to Beijing, the first thing he did should be to hand over the sign to the palace to show that he had paid his errand after returning to Beijing, but generally speaking, this is just a procedure. After handing over the sign, you can go home to rest, and then wait for the emperor to choose time to summon him.

This time may be one day, two or three days. After all, the imperial envoy is exhausted and always needs to take a break when he comes back. This is also the emperor's care for his ministers and slaves. But now people have sent people to wait for him as soon as they arrive at the city gate palace. This situation is not without it, but it is extremely rare.

"I'm afraid I don't know what Zhongtang has to do when he returns to Beijing. The day before yesterday, Lord Longkodo and Lord Ortai sent an urgent report, the Ming army had something unusual. The emperor and you have been discussing matters in the palace for two days. Early this morning, you entered the palace again and were waiting for you to come back. Lord Zhongtang, after all, you are my soldier and have just returned from Shanxi. Some things the emperor needs to ask you for is not the point." Tong Shou's face was a little anxious and said softly in Geng's ear.

Geng E then understood what was going on. Thinking about the order that the court urgently summoned him back, Geng E was as he was. What's more, he returned to Beijing all the way? He did not take the same path as leaving Beijing? So I don't know what the military situation is now.

Thinking of this, Geng E nodded. He immediately explained to his personal guard leader a few words. He asked them to put the things first, and he entered the city with Tong Shou and several other guards. Then he headed towards the palace.

Everything was as usual, and the group soon arrived at the palace gate? Maybe it was because of today's discussion? There were a little more guards outside the palace than before, so Geng'er didn't care. He handed over the sign first according to the rules and waited outside for a short time? The decree to summon him came from the palace.

Stepping into the palace? The palace in Xi'an is naturally not comparable to the imperial palace in Beijing. Although Emperor Jianxing has expanded the palace on the original basis in recent years, it is only slightly larger than before.

Entering from the palace gate, I kept walking in and touching it. It won’t take long to reach the Yangxin Hall. Of course, this so-called Yangxin Hall is not the Yangxin Hall in Beijing? Now, the Yangxin Hall in Beijing is Zhu Yicheng’s territory, but here is just a name for Yangxin Hall.

The reason for this is this? It can be regarded as a thought of the Qing Dynasty today. Sitting in this so-called Palace of Peaceful Hearts? Emperor Jianxing seemed to be able to regain the feeling of the Qing Dynasty ruled the world in Beijing. In fact, this is just a self-deception. Whether it is the emperor himself or the slaves and ministers below? He knew it in his heart.

This road? Geng'er is not unfamiliar with it? He has walked many times, and like the past, he headed towards the Yangxin Palace. While walking, he was thinking about how to report on this trip after seeing the emperor.

Since Emperor Jianxing is now discussing matters with everyone and discussing military affairs, his own army naturally needs to have a constituency. In addition, if his Shanxi team had such a big deal, he might also mention this matter when he thought about the news that Guan Yu asked about yesterday. However, Geng E had already made some countermeasures. He had prepared a backup plan before, and it would be no big deal to hand over all the money and property he brought. Moreover, doing so was not a bad thing for the Qing Dynasty. Judging from his understanding of Emperor Jianxing and the fact that Emperor Jianxing had left all the memorials to impeach him, he naturally would not have anything to do.

Thinking about his thoughts, he walked forward all the way. Just as he was about to reach the Yangxin Palace, Geng'er suddenly noticed something strange and immediately slowed down. Today, the palace seemed particularly quiet. Although the imperial palace in Xi'an was far from comparable to Beijing, there were not many people in the palace. On weekdays, the palace was guarding everywhere, and the eunuchs and palace maids were coming and going, which was very common.

But today seems a little different. While waiting outside the palace, there are more guards outside than usual. This can be said to be because of today's discussion. However, after entering the palace, Geng'er didn't meet anyone along the way. Not to mention the guards who were guarding several places on weekdays, even the eunuchs and palace maids did not meet one. Geng'er just thought about how to reply, but now he suddenly noticed this, and it seemed that it was a bit quiet around him.

A trace of ominous feeling surged from Geng'er's heart, his expression began to change abnormally, and his eyes looked around. Could it be his own illusion? Or what happened in the palace? Before he could think about it, he saw a leader and eunuch in the Yangxin Hall in front of him walked out of nowhere and shouted to Geng'er from afar: "Mr. Geng, the emperor and you are waiting for you in the hall. Please ask Mr. Geng to enter the palace quickly to discuss matters."

There were dozens of steps away from the eunuch. Geng'e didn't see the other person's face clearly for a while, but he looked familiar. Hearing the other person say this, Geng'e responded subconsciously, suppressed the ominousness in his heart and continued walking forward. After walking more than ten steps, he looked up and took another look. At this moment, he finally recognized who the eunuch standing there.

Suddenly, Geng'er suddenly stopped and looked at the eunuch incredibly. The man wearing the eunuch's clothes was not the eunuch in the palace who he usually knew, but a eunuch he knew.

"Zhao Zhong! How could it be you?" Geng E blurted out in surprise. It is true that Zhao Zhong is an eunuch. As early as in Beijing, he was a eunuch of grade in the palace. However, after Kangxi was appointed as the prince of the king, he sent several eunuchs in the palace out and asked them to go to the royal palaces to serve as eunuchs in charge.

Zhao Zhong is one of them. Zhao Zhong went to not other places, but the Fourth Prince Yong’s Mansion at that time, and now the name Zhao Zhong is not his real name, but changed after going to Prince Yong’s Mansion.

Speaking of changing this name, we have to mention the rules of Prince Yong's mansion. In addition to serious competition in doing things, Prince Yong also has a strange temper that is unknown to outsiders, that is, he is not close to eunuchs, but rather disgusted with them.

However, using eunuchs is the ancestral system. Moreover, although eunuchs have problems of one kind or another, they are also indispensable. Therefore, in order to hit the eunuchs in his mansion, Prince Yong specially asked them to change their names. It would be fine. The key is that their surnames are. No matter what the eunuchs in Prince Yong’s mansion are named before, they only have three surnames after entering the mansion, and these three surnames are "Qin, Zhao, Gao"

From this we can see that Prince Yong did not like eunuchs, and specially changed his surname to eunuchs with the three words Qin and Zhao Gao to warn these eunuchs not to forget their identities and not to learn from Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty.

Several adults in the court knew about this. As the Minister of Shangshu, Geng E was naturally one of the Ministers of War. He also met the eunuch in charge of the Yong Prince's Mansion, which is Zhao Zhong who is standing here now.

How could a eunuch in charge of the Yong Prince's Mansion suddenly appear here? She was wearing the clothes of the eunuch? Suddenly, a thought surged from Geng's heart, his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

"Mr. Geng, why don't you enter the hall quickly? Do you want the emperor to wait for you?" Zhao Zhong, who was standing on the steps, smiled, but the smile was cold, and his eyes swept against Geng's stiff erection without any concealment.

"I...I...Em...Emperor...I..." Geng'er finally understood everything at this moment. He felt that his eyes were hanging in front of him, and he was dizzy everywhere. He trembled with his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, and seemed to be thinking about what he said, but he was incomplete.

He stood there blankly. After more than ten seconds, Geng's ere suddenly let out a sharp scream. Then he turned around like a frightened deer and ran outside the palace gate. While running, he turned back to Zhao Zhong and Yangxin Palace from time to time, as if a terrible devil was chasing him behind him.

"Run? Since you are here, how can you run?" Although Zhao Zhong stood on the steps, he was a little bit beyond Geng's actions, he did not move at all, and still looked at Geng's figure running wildly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

After running dozens of steps in one breath, Geng'er almost used all his strength to run wildly, but as soon as he turned the intersection in front, he suddenly stopped. Not far away, more than a dozen guards with waist knives stood there quietly, blocking the road leading to the outside of the palace. They did not make a sound, but the murderous intent emitted was chilling.

Geng'er, in great fear, quickly turned around and ran in another direction, but no matter where he ran, there was someone guarding him. Like a headless fly, Geng'er tossed in the palace for more than a moment, running with sweat and white smoke on his head, but he was desperate to find that he was facing a situation where he had no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

Finally, Geng'er was desperate. He collapsed on the ground, panting, muttering to himself with his eyes dissipated: "How is this happening? How is this happening? The emperor... the emperor...!"
