Chapter 207 Arriving in Person (Third Shift)

"Boom!"

The thunderous drums resounded throughout the square, hitting the hearts of everyone present, and everyone's heart was shocked.

Zhang Shusheng held up the drumstick and shouted: "The grassroots are wronged!"

Immediately afterwards, those who lost their children behind him also shouted in unison: "The grass people (women) are wronged!"

The uniform shouts were like thunder, shaking the surrounding air.

"Boom!"

Zhang Shusheng sounded the Dengwen drum again, and continued: "Caomin wants to sue Her Royal Highness, the princess. In order to survive, she will not hesitate to order people to kidnap innocent children and take their hearts and blood to make alchemy!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Zhang Shusheng beat the Dengwen drum repeatedly, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and unwillingness in his heart.

Today he insisted on seeking justice for his daughter and the other children!

Let's see if these nobles can ignore the law and cover the sky with their hands!

The sound of rumbling drums was repeated, like thunder bursts, continuous. Every time Zhang Shusheng beat the drums, he had to shout for himself and his daughter.

The surrounding crowd boiled like a pot of boiling water, and more and more people flocked to hear the sound of drums. This square and even the three streets outside the palace gate became more and more crowded and noisy.

At a glance, there are crowds of people around, a sea of ​​people.

"It's worth it..."

At this time, there was another rumbling sound of horseshoes from the end of Suzaku Avenue, and the rapid sound of horseshoes gradually approached.

I saw a team of twenty or thirty people riding horses towards this side.

Li Zongqi saw the person coming from a distance, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He immediately mobilized the soldiers of the Forbidden Army under him, and the soldiers moved in a well-trained manner, driving away the gathered people ten steps at a time, and opened a path for the coming people as quickly as possible.

The leader is a handsome and flawless young man in white.

He was covered with a frosty white cloak, so elegant and extravagant, like a banished fairy from the sky who came down from the mortal world.

Behind him was a group of majestic Luanyi guards, all riding horses, passing through Zhengyang Gate, Daming Gate, and heading towards Chengtian Gate, full of wind and dust.

The Imperial Guard soldiers on both sides bowed in unison to welcome the Eldest Prince back.

Chu Yi heard the endless sound of Dengwen's drums from a distance, heard Zhang Shusheng's angry shouts, and saw the beautiful faces of the common people gathered in the square. His eyes are as dark as ink.

He received the news of An Le's serious illness last night, so he hurried back from the imperial mausoleum overnight, and he didn't arrive in the capital until now.

He had only been away for a day, but he didn't expect that the capital would be turned upside down...

"Woo--"

Chu Yi tightened the reins, stopped the horse in front of the Daming Gate, looked in the direction of Dengwen's drumming, and saw the girl in snow-green clothes standing beside Zhang Shusheng at a glance.

The slender girl stood with her back facing him, and from Chu Yi's perspective, she couldn't see her face at all.

However, with just one glance, Chu Yi recognized her, the corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes sparkled.

is her.

The existence of a girl is a ray of light that breaks through the heavy haze, making Chu Yi feel suddenly enlightened, like a gloomy landscape painting with a touch of bright color, making him feel that his lifeless life has another variable worth looking forward to .

Chu Yi's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, suddenly settled down, and his eyebrows and eyes curved slightly softly.

Gu Yuan, who was just behind Chu Yi, also saw his sister, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Why is my sister here? !

The black horse under Gu Yuan's crotch spouted white gas rapidly.

Many people in the square also noticed Chu Yi's arrival, and looked at this handsome and picturesque young man in white, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Chu Yi just paused for two breaths, and gestured silently to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan clasped his fists in understanding to accept the order, while Chu Yi clamped his horse's belly and continued to gallop towards the palace.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The thick and deafening sound of Dengwen's drums came and went, louder and louder, resounding through the entire palace.

Chu Yi rode his horse all the way to Jingren Palace in the inner court. As he walked all the way, the palace people along the way saluted him one after another: "His Royal Highness."

Another servant quickly led him to Anle's bedroom.

There is a sad, depressing and painful atmosphere in the palace, and every palace member is frowning.

An Le was still lying on the couch, her eyes were closed tightly, and she didn't know anything about personnel.

The emperor stopped courting today, and has been by An Le's side since last night. After just one night, he looked rather haggard, with deep blue shadows in his eye sockets.

He was still wearing the dragon robe from yesterday, and the robe was covered with wrinkles.

"Royal father."

Chu Yi quickly walked up to the emperor, and at a glance saw the eunuch Zhao Rang who was described as a little cramped beside the emperor, and An Le who was pale and unconscious on the couch.

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his temples with a slight frown, looked at Chu Yi and said in a deep voice: "On the first day of the new year, there were some riots in the capital this morning, and the people were outraged and gathered at the right gate of Chang'an..."

Chu Yi instantly understood the point of the emperor's words.

His father probably didn't know that many people gathered at the right gate of Chang'an until the Dengwen Drum was sounded, and he didn't know about the commotion in the capital today.

Chu Yi's heart sank slightly.

The chief supervisor of internal officials is in charge of internal and external cultural transfer, which should have been the emperor's eyes and ears, ensuring access to both internal and external.

But now the internal officials are not under the control of the father, and they are deceiving, so that the father is closed in the palace and acts very passively.

Chu Yi immediately ordered Zhao Rang: "Zhao Rang, go prepare the dragon chariot."

"Father, let's go to Chengtianmen."

The emperor has always had no objection to his son's decision.

So, Chu Yi personally went to the sleeping hall to carry out the unconscious An Le, and sat on the dragon chariot with the emperor.

After just a cup of tea, the emperor's guard of honor arrived at Chengtian Gate in a mighty manner.

"The emperor is here!"

When the servant's sharp voice reached Chang'an's right gate, all the surrounding drumming noises stopped suddenly.

Both the yamen servants and the common people were shocked, and they couldn't believe their ears.

The drumstick in Zhang Shusheng's hand also stopped in mid-air, and with a slip of his hand, the drumstick dropped from his hand and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Everyone never expected that the emperor, who was only glimpsed in dramas on weekdays, would come out of the palace in person.

I don't know who was the first to kneel down, and the others followed suit, all of them shorter.

The kneeling people couldn't help looking up, their fiery gazes all shot at the tower above Chengtianmen.

At this moment, most of the people have forgotten the indignation when the Dengwen drum was sounded just now, and their hearts are more in awe of the current emperor.

The emperor lifted his robe and sat on a big golden lacquered chair on the tower, with a serious expression, not angry but pretentious.

Just now, on the way to Chengtian Gate, he had heard Gu Yuan report the whole incident, including the disappearance of a child in Beijing, the story of a girl who escaped from the palace, and the fact that the girl’s father came Hitting Deng Wengu but was stopped by Yacha...

The emperor's eyebrows bulged deeply, forming a "Chuan" character.

Because the eldest princess didn't have much time left, the emperor has been with her since yesterday and never left Jingren Palace.

He never expected that such a thing would happen in just one day.

His only daughter, his eldest princess, is a blessed child.

How could he let Shangqing's sorcery ruin his precious daughter's luck.

The emperor had been on the throne for less than a year, and he was almost dethroned when he was the prince. The first emperor strictly guarded against death, and there were not many opportunities for him to cultivate the foundation.

The first emperor doted on his youngest son and pampered the family, so the power in the court was divided by the family. Emperor Taizu didn't kill donkeys back then, and the late emperor was unable to regain military power, so most of the military power was in the hands of nobles, such as the Duke of Wei and the Duke of England.

(The emperor is the beginning of hell...)

In fact, with the mentality of the first emperor, he was thinking: If you don't let me change the crown prince, then I will let the younger son take the throne by himself. Therefore, during his reign, he continued to help the aristocratic family and his youngest son.
