Chapter 11 Returning to the palace

On the way back, it started to rain continuously.

After leaving the area of ​​Taoyuan County, the road to Beijing began to become extremely muddy.

The carriage that Emperor Jing was riding in was trapped in a mud pit several times, and Guo Tianyang had to follow him and push the cart with the driver, which was extremely miserable.

However, after finally entering the outer periphery of the capital, Emperor Jing was even worse.

There are mixed people here, cars and horses are rampant, and everything is in chaos.

The carriage I was riding was continuously blocked on the road.

The coachman kept clamoring with the people in front of him, and Emperor Jing was sitting in the car, feeling more and more bored.

Guo Tianyang also bowed his head and did not dare to say anything.

Suddenly the carriage vibrated violently, and then the coachman's scream came from outside.

Guo Tianyang hurriedly leaned out to investigate the situation, but saw that the gear was already trapped in a mud pit, and the coachman did not catch it and fell off the carriage.

Half of his body was soaked in the pit, covering his forehead and mouth, he kept complaining.

"This ghost place! I'll stay in the county!"

A group of gangsters in tattered clothes were immediately burst into laughter when they saw his miserable appearance.

Guo Tianyang also frowned and quickly urged the coachman to get up and continue on the road.

This place is not like Taoyuan County, with extremely poor order and mixed fish and dragons.

The coachman agreed and tried to thrust in the pit for a few times. Perhaps he had fallen into the bones and didn't get up.

The laughter around him became more and more intense.

Guo Tianyang had no choice but to endure the irritability in his heart and get out of the car to support the coachman.

After returning to the car, he was about to rush back to the road, Emperor Jing suddenly spoke.

"No need to take a bus, just walk back."

"Master, it's still raining in the sky, so you can't get wet."

Emperor Jing pointed outside and said, "Can you take a car faster than walking? You look at the bumpy pits on the road, and you will fall one step after another, I am afraid you will be able to go back tomorrow."

"Carrier! Go back."

After saying that, Guo Tianyang ordered to hand over twenty taels of silver.

The coachman was overjoyed and drove away with great gratitude.

Guo Tianyang was speechless, and he suddenly missed Taoyuan County when he looked at the carriage that was moving further and further away.

How did they build that road? Why is their city so clean!

As the Jingguo Center, Beijing can do so poorly!

The front is not far from the inner city, but the road is still winding and sewage flows across the river.

The people were very casual, and some of the garbage and feces were dumped directly at the door and spread along the rain.

Several children playing in the rain didn't care. They chased and scrambled in the sewage, picked up a handful of water and sang each other around.

The air was filled with unpredictable stench.

Emperor Jing looked at the inner city not far away, his eyes full of deep worries and sighed.

"I originally thought that after unifying the world, I could implement benevolent policies and light labor, and the lives of the people would naturally be rich. Now I have made things simple. I didn't expect that I was far inferior to a small county magistrate. It was ridiculous, it was ridiculous!"

Guo Tianyang quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty is in the world, how can a small county be compared?"

Emperor Jing did not make any noise, and looked around for a while before raising his legs toward the inner city.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, the two of them entered the inner city. At this moment, Emperor Jing's body was wet and his boots were covered in mud.

Guo Tianyang followed behind panting, especially with twenty kilograms of tea on his back.

Emperor Jing was often in the army, with excellent physical strength and fast steps.

Guo Tianyang was so tired that he was almost panting. He kept cursing about this damn environment along the way.

After entering the inner city, he felt relieved and quickly said to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, there is an inner guard in the inner city nearby. I will contact the carriage, and the road behind will be easier."

Emperor Jing nodded and looked around. Although the road surface had been much flat, the road surface still looked muddy and the unpleasant smell was still floating in the air.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Emperor Jing fell into thinking again.

....................................................

At this time, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Yansong, was reviewing the memorial, and the other cabinet masters were also performing their own duties, constantly reviewing the issue of the issue of the famous money and valley of the crime.

At this time, a minor official trotted into the cabinet public room.

He looked anxious and took out a red paper envelope from his waist.

"Mr. Li! There is news about Your Majesty!"

All the ministers in the public room raised their heads in surprise.

Li Yansong stopped the pen, quickly got up and took the envelope and looked at it, then raised his head and said happily: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has returned to the palace!"

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Zheng Qiao and Zhang Dongxiang were overjoyed when they heard this.

The emperor is back! He left a letter and left the palace privately, but the prince supervised the country but ignored the government affairs!

This day has finally come to an end! And it is much faster than I thought.

Li Yansong faced the minor official and said, "Send someone to inform the police who went to Hengjiang Mansion to come back."

The little official nodded and said that he turned around and ran out again.

Li Yansong said happily: "Everyone, I'm going to see you. Are there anyone who goes with me?"

Zheng Qiao and Zhang Dong nodded quickly: "Go together! Go together!"

The three of them rushed to the imperial study room in a hurry, and Guo Tianyang had already greeted him at the door.

"Please come in three, your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Li Yansong and the other two looked at each other, then said to Guo Tianyang: "Thank you, Eunuch Guo."

Then he went straight into the imperial study room.

In the imperial study room, the memorials in front of Emperor Jing’s desk were already piled up like mountains.

Li Yansong and the other two were originally a bit of accusation, but when they saw this scene, they looked at each other.

In the end, Li Yansong said first, "Your Majesty! Why don't you say goodbye? The court officials are crazy."

Emperor Jing didn't raise his head, and wrote on the memorial in a stroke.

"I just want to go out for a walk."

"Look at these memorials, how did the prince supervise the country these days? What did the ministers in the court do?"

Emperor Jing's voice seemed slow and steady.

Li Yansong was stuck in an instant. He originally wanted to continue complaining, but when he mentioned the prince...

Zheng Qiaoqi Ai Ai said: "Your Majesty, the prince... has never been to court in the past few days..."

"Where are others? What have you done in the past few days? As important officials in the court, you don't know how to take care of him?"

Emperor Jing’s voice implicitly anger.

"Your Majesty, if you are not an old minister, don't care... I really can't control it." Zhang Dong looked up and said, "It's either a headache or a foot pain. I'm sick every day. I can't see anything wrong with the imperial doctor.

It's just uncomfortable."

"We really can't do anything..."

"The prince has also built a tiger and leopard garden in the past few days when His Majesty is away, and in addition to fighting beasts, he will recuperate in it every day."

"besides....."

Zhang Dongxiang was an anxious temper and became more and more excited as he spoke. The other two cabinet masters couldn't hold on even if they were tempted.

I could only listen to him complaining in a cold sweat.

Emperor Jing's face gradually darkened......
