Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

A general at the head of the city said coldly: "It's almost night, the palace is closed, Chen Hanlin, please come back!"

Chen E was slightly startled.

To put it bluntly, during the day he can enter the palace in a big way and face the saint directly, and at night if he has a legitimate reason, he can also notify Li Zhi to enter the palace. When has he been stopped like this?This is not because of his arrogance, but the privilege conferred by his status as a Hanlin scholar.

Did this general not understand the rules or was there another reason?

Chen E spent most of her life in the bureaucratic system. Although the modern bureaucratic system is very different from the ancient one, there is one thing in common. Once it is formulated, it will not be easily changed.

Unless the emperor ordered to deprive the privilege of walking in the palace, no one would stop him. Combined with the emperor's critical illness, Chen E seemed to understand something.

Looking at himself again, the palace couldn't reject him, which meant that the emperor didn't make a decree to ban him from entering the palace.

However, Chen E didn't intend to break into the palace by force, he just wanted to stay until dark, and then enter the palace to spy for a while. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, an eunuch whispered to the general behind him. There was a look of strangeness in his eyes, and he called out: "Chen Hanlin wait a moment, I'm here for the first time, I don't know Chen Hanlin's identity, please allow me to report to the palace!"

"It's work!"

Chen E cupped her hands.

The general withdrew.

After touching for about half an hour, he returned to the top of the city and waved his hand: "Open the door!"

The wide Xuanwu Gate opened slowly, and Chen E stepped in with his head held high, suddenly felt a murderous aura approaching him, and opened his spiritual eyes to look, only to see the black air in the palace and the gloomy imperial aura, which was clearly a sign of great ominousness, the Lord The emperor will collapse!

"The Holy Dragon is ill, and the palace is under strict confinement. Mr. Chen, please come with your slaves, and hurry away!"

A eunuch greeted him.

Chen E nodded slightly, then walked towards the palace, and asked casually, "How is your Majesty, have you ever summoned the imperial physician?"

The eunuch said with a smile: "Your Majesty is fine, Manager Chen is not worried!"

Chen E frowned slightly, if he was a mortal, he might believe it, but he is the pinnacle of the [-]th True Immortal, and he is more or less proficient in the art of gazing, how can he hide the dark energy in the palace from him?

Can't help but let him keep an eye on it.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chen E was a Hanlin scholar, and Li Zhi often met with him in Liangyi Hall in the Inner Dynasty, which was also the main place for the emperor to entertain ministers, but the eunuch led the way, and after passing the Liangyi Hall, he felt something was wrong.

The Taiji Palace has a pattern of the front hall and the back bedroom. Behind the Jinluan Hall is the Zhuming Gate, and to the north is the Liangyi Gate. The horizontal street between the two gates is the boundary between the court and the bedroom.

The dormitory area is divided into front and back by Yongxiang. The south of Yongxiang is the emperor’s bedroom, and the north of Yongxiang is the rear bedroom. Foreign officials are absolutely forbidden to enter.

The eunuch led Chen E around the south of Yongxiang, and seeing that he was about to enter the back bedroom, Chen E hurriedly stood still, and said sharply: "Wait a minute, non-human officials can come here, you eunuch, why do you bring me here?" What do you mean?"

Chen E has dealt with eunuchs all the year round, and he knows that he should not be too polite to eunuchs.

Sure enough, the eunuch laughed and said: "Director Chen is a close minister of the sage, and the sage has issued an order to summon Director Chen in the north of Yongxiang. Don't be suspicious of Director Chen."

As if feeling that it was not enough to convince Chen E, the eunuch added: "Although the Holy Majesty's health has improved, he is still tired. He came to the Queen's Palace today and never left, so he directly summoned Director Chen. This is a great grace. Oh, Manager Chen, hurry up and follow the servants to face the saint, don't let the saint wait for a long time."

Chen E secretly sneered, if Li Zhi was a foolish emperor, he might really do stupid things, but Li Zhi is not, and the dark atmosphere in the palace is obviously a sign of the emperor's impending collapse, anyway, it should not be Li Zhi who went to Mei Niang In the palace, it was Mei Niang who went to the emperor's bedroom to accompany Li Zhi.

Chen E said in a deep voice: "Even if the Holy Majesty summons you, the laws of the country cannot be violated, and Chen dare not enter, please go and explain the truth to the Holy Majesty."

"You are so brave, don't you dare to keep the Holy One waiting for a long time?"

The eunuch screamed at the top of his voice.

"If you're told to go, just go, why bother?"

Chen E waved her hand impatiently, turned around and left.

The eunuch saw that he couldn't lure Chen E to the back bed, so he immediately made a gesture.

A few young eunuchs rushed out from nowhere, pretending to run in a hurry, and bumped into Chen E.

If this is hit, he will definitely be knocked into the door. No matter how he got in, as long as he enters the back bed, he can't tell with ten mouths, and he can immediately call the imperial army to kill him on the spot.

Chen E secretly thought that it was true, but he would not show any strangeness in front of ordinary people. He turned around and avoided it naturally, and cursed: "How did you get there? The palace is becoming more and more unruly." , Can you grow your eyes? Fortunately, this official is easy to talk, if you offend the nobleman, be careful of your heads!"

After all, Chen E was a third-rank official, the highest official rank in the Tang Dynasty who held real power. If the little eunuch failed once, he would not dare to challenge him a second time.

However, one of the eunuchs was very clever and said quickly: "The servants are here to tell you that the Holy Majesty has returned to the Hall of Liangyi, and he called Director Chen to have an audience with the Hall of Liangyi."

The eunuch's eyes lit up immediately, he understood what the little eunuch meant, and cursed: "You little bastard, why didn't you say it earlier? Manager Chen thought our family brought him here to kill him!"

"Yes, yes, the servant is guilty!"

The young eunuchs were very agile, each slapped themselves a few times, and quickly knelt down.

"Little bastard, you are still sensible, and you will get the family law later!"

The eunuch snorted and said to Chen E with a smile: "Our family didn't know that the Holy Majesty has moved away, Director Chen, please go!"

Is this treating me like a fool?

As a modern person, this kind of poor acting skills can be seen through at a glance, but Chen E wanted to see what the eunuchs were thinking, so he nodded and followed the eunuchs to the Hall of Liangyi.

The eunuch Wei Hai waited respectfully outside the hall, when he saw Chen E, he said, "Director Chen, Your Majesty has summoned you, let's go in quickly!"

It was late at night, the hall was gloomy, from the outside, there were black shadows everywhere, Chen E was not in a hurry to enter the hall, his spiritual eyes swept away, and he was shocked!

Li Zhi was indeed in the hall, without any breath of life, he was already dead!

What does it mean to keep secret and tell Lao Tzu to go in?

In Chen E's mind, a picture automatically evolved. When he walked in and got close to Li Zhi, and found that there was no response to his call for Shi Li, he would probably go closer and have a look. At this time, Wei Chao came in with a few eunuchs Well, planting dirt and killing the emperor himself, this is a plan that will fail, but another plan!

"Director Chen, please!"

Wei Hai urged.

"Ha ha"

Chen E suddenly laughed: "It's getting late, the dragon is not in good health, I still don't want to disturb the rest of the emperor, see you tomorrow, and leave!"

Wei Hai shrank his eyes, and said with a dark voice: "The Holy Majesty summoned, how can you shirk it, since you are disrespectful, then you can't blame our family, come here, take it down!"

A group of eunuchs rushed over.

Chen E knew that in the palace, she must not kill anyone, so she ran back as fast as she could.

"kill him!"

Wei Hai shouted loudly.
