fake prince

Chapter 961
At dusk, the sound of ox carts passing by can be heard far away.

Su Ziji lifted the curtain of the car and saw that although it was almost dusk, the streets were full of people and the shops were bustling, so he smiled.

The former Wei Shizu changed the curfew into a night ban, from the three quarters of the Hai hour (20:30) to the three quarters of the midnight (22:30). According to the "Jingcheng Fangkao", the market is prosperous, "one street converges, So they dumped the two cities, making loud noises day and night, and the lights were constantly lit!"
Dazheng generally inherited this policy, and also maintained the night market. Only when he ransacked after the "closed door drum" and before the "open door drum" did he commit the crime of "criminal night crime". It's very late at night, no one will run around, and I have to work tomorrow.

If it wasn't like this, the palace gate was about to be locked, how could I ask to see him at this time?

But as he walked, Su Ziji's expression became more and more gloomy.

I saw soldiers standing at every street corner, it was still early, and they were just checking the occasional passers-by, the closer to the palace, the more patrolling soldiers, Su Ziji didn't even need to look closely to know what was going on.

"It seems that the emperor is not only searching Wanglufang, but also strengthening the vigilance of all parts of the capital. If my guess is correct, I am afraid that all the main gates leading to the outside have been secretly watched."

"At this time, the rich and powerful will be discovered when they leave the city, and it is close to impossible for those who enter the Tao to escape from the capital."

"The capital city is now a big net, and everyone is firmly caught in it. Although we haven't been able to find out the Taoist people for a while, but for the emperor who has the power of life and death, it is only a matter of time."

"Even if my secret passage is the top-secret underground passage used by the former princes to escape, it may not be safe, and it is even more difficult to leave the city directly."

This is the imperial power. When a thought arises, countless people run around for this thought.

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

If the emperor becomes greedy, what more than a million dead bodies?No matter how serious things may happen, it just depends on what the emperor is greedy for.

Thoughts were rolling, Su Ziji squeezed his fingers, thinking about how to apologize when he saw the emperor.

"Anyway, be correct."

"Buy some time."

Outside, the autumn wind is rustling, covered by dark clouds, and there are strange birds chirping in the distance.

The guards of the palace walking around the ox cart couldn't help shivering. They always felt that the atmosphere in the capital was getting weirder day by day. In the past, a burly man like myself would not feel scared when he was driving in the wilderness at night, but Now walking on the road, even though I have a companion beside me, I still can't help but feel cold and unbearable.

"Who is in front?" Someone was patrolling not far away, and when they saw bullock carts and knights approaching the palace, they immediately asked.

The head of the guard hurriedly said: "We are the people on behalf of the palace! My prince wants to enter the palace!"

"Dai Wang?" A few people came over, seeing that it was indeed the logo of Dai Wang's Mansion, they hurriedly saluted to make way.

Su Ziji, who was in the car, passed a few people in the oxcart, and heard the people behind him breathe a sigh of relief, and one of them lowered his voice: "It's been strange recently, sometimes I see people walking on the street, go over to ask, but find There is not even a shadow, and the man has disappeared! I don’t know if it’s because of my eyesight, hey! It feels like a troubled time! Hurry up and finish the patrol, so we can go back sooner!”

"Troublesome time?" Su Ziji followed the ox cart slowly, his body shaking slightly, but his thoughts were clearer than before.

"Dragon Qi is like the sun in the sky, there is no signs of weakening, but ghosts and gods are awakening day by day."

What is happening now is actually just a trivial matter. In the future, there will be great chaos in the struggle for succession, and some ghosts and monsters will jump out in the capital and even the country.

Especially the revival of spiritual energy...

Thinking of this, Su Ziji's eyes turned cold, and he immediately suppressed him again.

"Now is not the time..."

The bullock cart soon arrived at the gate of the palace. The key to the palace gate had not been released yet, but the palace lanterns had already been lit. Six guards stood at the gate with badges and swords.

When I got out of the car beside the chariot road at the palace gate, the guards didn't stop me. After asking about the purpose of my visit, a young eunuch hurried in to report. After a while, the guards brought a high-ranking eunuch back, and the eunuch saluted Su Ziji: "My lord, the emperor declares you to enter."

Su Ziji nodded, took out a small wooden box from the bullock cart, and walked in with his long legs.

The guards who came with him could only wait outside the palace gate together with the ox cart, the eunuch looked at the wooden box in Su Ziji's hand, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, this is..."

The palace is the strictest, and it's fine for the Dai Wang to enter the house without searching it himself. It's not good if there are murder weapons or other prohibited items with a wooden box.

"Inside are the scriptures that the king wants to dedicate to the empress, which is copied by the king himself. It is nothing else. Don't worry, be bold!"

While Su Ziji was explaining, he also opened the wooden box and let the eunuch take a look.

The eunuch stared at it and found that it was indeed not a murder weapon, so he was relieved and smiled: "Your servant will trust the prince, prince, please."

After all, he went straight through the corridor to the north, and along the way guards with knives stood like nails, and saw the majestic palace from a distance. On the white marble steps, Su Ziji heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, the sky was getting dark and there was a drizzle of rain in the twilight. The palace people were putting on the palace lanterns, the emperor was sitting in a chair, resting his forehead with one hand, and the eunuch Ma Shunde was reading the memorial softly.

"Report to the emperor, the king Dai has arrived outside the palace." At this time, the eunuch who had just led the order to announce the king's entry came back, knelt on the ground, and reported to the emperor.

Ma Shunde stopped immediately, and the emperor pointed with his finger: "Continue reading."

Then he said to the eunuch kneeling on the ground, "Let him in."

When Su Ziji came in from outside the hall, what he heard was that Ma Shunde was reading the scriptures.

"Huh, Ma Shunde can actually read the scriptures for you?" Su Ziji was shocked. If the eunuch could read the scriptures for him, he would often become a real inner picture. After Shunde finished reading, Su Ziji took a few steps forward to salute the emperor.

"Sun Chen has seen the emperor."

"You came because I ordered you to close the door and think about your mistakes?" The emperor shook his hand, Ma Shunde put down the memorial, took a few steps back, and stood on one side with his head bowed.

Facing the emperor's question straight to the point, Su Ziji did not explain a word, but directly bowed his head and apologized: "Your Majesty, Sun Chen came here to apologize."

"It's all due to Sun Chen's lax administration, which caused his subordinates to move the books into the mansion, which violated the trust of the emperor. Sun Chen was convinced by the emperor's punishment. He should shut himself up and think about his mistakes, and dare not have the slightest dissatisfaction."

"Oh?" I thought Su Ziji was here to explain, but I didn't expect that there was no explanation, and he directly bowed his head and apologized, with a very good attitude, which made the emperor's expression change, and his expression eased a little.

No matter what the purpose of his admonishment was, Dai Wang's reaction still made him feel satisfied.

As an aging emperor, even though he is still in power, he is more and more vigilant towards his young offspring. He is like an old tiger surrounded by wolves. Although he is still the king of beasts, he dare not relax.
