Chapter 55: The Imperial Palace
On the carriage, the windows on both sides were completely sealed, and it was impossible to see the outside at all. And those two people have been sitting in front of the carriage, and Guo Jia and Ming'er are in the carriage, and Guo Jia is not given any chance to talk, obviously they also know very well that if they say too much, they will lose.
And even Ming'er, a little girl, insisted on bringing it, and was cautious in her work, not giving Guo Jialiu any chance to spread the news at all.
"Young Master." Ming'er pulled Guo Jia's hand nervously and scared.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said,
"I hope this is Chen Qun's guy trying to catch me somewhere and beat me up, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to do such a thing."
"Could that be the case that day?" Ming'er asked in a low voice.
Indeed, since that group of people can easily save people from the prison cell, they obviously have the skills to do this kind of thing.
However, Guo Jia can't make any judgment on this. Having is being capable, but what about motivation? If you really want to take revenge on him Guo Jia, you can take people away with such trouble?
Now like this, it is very likely that someone wants to see him Guo Jia! At least he Guo Jia doesn't seem to have any place worth kidnapping and blackmailing now, right?!
"It's up to you to see if the carriage will leave the city." Guo Jia said, it's just a pity that he can't open the window to let him see the situation outside, Guo Jia doesn't have the ability to "listen to the sound and distinguish the position". So, now he can only "resign himself to fate".
After that, judging by the noise outside, the carriage was slowly passing through the downtown area. However, Guo Jia didn't plan to make any moves to call for help, he thought that he had no enemy of life and death, and now others should just want to see him and wouldn't kill him, but if he really messed up, it might cause his life to be in danger.
In this way, the carriage gradually drove out of the downtown area, and the surrounding area gradually returned to calm. Then, after an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.
"Stop!"
There was a sound outside.
Guo Jia and Ming'er in the carriage glanced at each other,
This is, check?! That is, they are really going out of town?!
Guo Jia was thinking about whether the guards would come in to see, and if so, what would he say. As a result, the carriage was quickly restarted again, and it was released without checking it at all?!
The soldiers of the guard are also their people? No, it won't, and if that were the case, I wouldn't have shouted "stop" in the first place. Well, there is only one possibility, they have a hard background and don't need any checks at all! All you need to do is show someone a token, and the soldier will let him go without hesitation.
Before Guo Jia could digest this information in a hurry, he was soon shocked by another fact.
Because, they should have gone out of the city, but they didn't go out of the city?!
It may be a bit of a twist to say this, but it's true! The carriage did not turn, but it continued to drive smoothly without any bumps, and it was obvious that this was not the kind of wilderness outside the city at all, and outside, even the official road could not be so smooth!
Where are they now?
Passing through a gate that is not out of the city, but is guarded?
Where the hell is that going to be? Don't......
The environment here was quieter than before, and then after turning around and I don't know how long, the carriage finally stopped, completely stopped.
The two people sitting in front of the carriage opened the curtain and instructed Guo Jia directly,
"You, get out of the car."
Then he gestured to Ming'er next to him,
"She's here."
"You're not going to do anything to her, are you?" Guo Jia asked.
"As long as she's obedient and stays here quietly." The man replied simply.
Guo Jia patted Ming'er holding his little hand tightly,
"Don't worry, I'll come when I go."
"Hmm." Ming'er slowly let go of his hand, to be honest, in the face of this unknown situation, it is absolutely impossible to explain that Er'er is not frightened. But she also knows very well that this is not her time to be coquettish.
Guo Jia got out of the car, the curtain behind him was closed again, seeing the situation in front of him, Guo Jia's heart jumped, even if he had expected it before, but when he really faced this fact, Guo Jia was still very unbelievable.
In the city of Luoyang, after passing a gate guarded by soldiers, but not out of the city, what would it be? Into the city?
That's right! Enter a city within a city!
And in Luoyang, Kyoto, what would be a place that could be called a city within a city? There is only one - the Imperial Palace!
Although Guo Jia has never been to the palace, and this is not the Forbidden City in later generations, Guo Jia knows very well where this place is, and the eunuchs in front of him have already explained everything.
"Please follow me." A little eunuch walked up and said to Guo Jia, this is already a change of person to lead the way.
"Oh." Guo Jia replied simply, his expression was in a trance, and even when he walked, his whole person was a little fluttery.
Is he going to be summoned by the emperor?
Could it be that he Guo Jia still has some hidden identity that he doesn't know about? For example, there is a nickname called "Uncle Huang" or something?
Of course, this is a joke, but being summoned so secretly made Guo Jia immediately think of Uncle Liu's situation. Could it be that this young emperor is also quite ambitious and wants to regain power from the hands of eunuchs and relatives? Playing a drama similar to Xiao Kangxi?
Although Guo Jia himself doesn't think that he has anything to be looked up to by the emperor, but now that the facts are in front of him, he can't be questioned.
"I don't know what the little father-in-law is called?" Guo Jia took the initiative to ask, thinking that maybe he could get some information from it in advance.
"Just call me a little stool." Probably because of his young age, the eunuch's voice was not as sharp and harsh as Guo Jia imagined.
"That little stool father-in-law, I don't know if you know what Your Majesty is suddenly looking for this time?" Guo Jia asked directly.
"Your Majesty? Oh no, you may be mistaken. This time, it is not Your Majesty looking for you, but Lord Zhang Changshi looking for you for something. The little stool father-in-law replied.
As soon as he heard this, Guo Jia's face suddenly turned white, his feet were weak, and he almost turned around and wanted to run.
Damn it! The first time I came to the palace, I was obviously too excited! Guo Jia forgot that in the palace, there are not only emperors, but also eunuchs! Maybe in other eras, eunuchs could not have such great ability, but at this time, if you want to summon someone into the palace or something, it is completely easy and stress-free. On the contrary, it was the young emperor Liu Bian, and it was more difficult to summon someone in private.
And who is Zhang Chang and Zhang Rang? That's the leader of the Ten Permanent Servants. Ling Yanjing called it "Father" and said, "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother."
According to this statement, today's young emperor Liu Wei is estimated to be shouting "grandpa"!
Don't care about complaining about these things, Guo Jia's mind is constantly spinning now, what is Zhang Rang looking for him to do? No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with Zhang Rang!
For a while, Guo Jia couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, he knew very well that these ten permanent servants were all lawless people, and if they were not careful, they might really be pulled out directly to cut off their heads.
