Chapter 716 Need to Enter the Palace
The Political Affairs Hall was located near the Menxia Province. By the time Qi Hu and Pan Yue hurriedly arrived outside the Political Affairs Hall, it was already the end of midnight.
Li Cunxi, starving, walked out of the government hall and ate a pancake under the moonlight.
At this time of year, at this time, what delicious food can be found in Luoyang?
It's just a few bowls of tea and some cakes.
Li Cunxi didn't care whether the food suited his appetite or not, he just wanted to fill his stomach.
Qi Hu saw Li Cunxi from a distance, pulled Pan Yue over, stopped two or three feet away, and bowed to Li Cunxi.
"Qi Hu!"
"Pan Yue!"
"I have met His Highness King Qin!"
The two of them bowed to Li Cunxi together, which scared Li Cunxi.
Fortunately, after stabilizing his body, Li Cunxi spotted Qi Hu and Pan Yue at a glance, and then he calmed down.
"Qi Hu, Pan Yue, why are you here?"
Li Cunxi was puzzled and asked the two of them.
Only a moment passed, and Li Cunxi suddenly remembered that Qi Hu and Pan Yue had followed Huan Bin to Hanguang Temple.
He quickly stood up, put down the cake in his hand, and asked:
"Did something happen at Hanguang Temple?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Hu and Pan Yue looked at each other and showed joy.
Qi Hu hurriedly said: "Your Highness the Prince of Qin is truly a man of heaven!"
"There was a murder at Hanguang Temple. The general ordered the two of us to return to Luoyang to meet His Majesty. He hopes to invite someone skilled in investigating to go to Hanguang Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter."
Li Cunxi was cheered up.
His and Li Qingxia's plan has already begun.
The moment the headless male corpse was turned out, the plan had already been one-third successful.
I just don't know what means Huan Bin used to expose the headless male corpse in front of everyone.
It would be a lot of fun if we just went there and dug it out.
However, with Huan Bin's means, it is absolutely impossible for him to openly do such an unwise act.
"You two will follow me into the government hall. This matter must be reported to the ministers."
Li Cunxi immediately came up with a plan and led Qi Hu and Pan Yue into the government hall.
The busy ministers soon heard Li Cunxi's voice.
"Everyone, please pause what you are doing."
"Something happened at Hanguang Temple."
The eight prime ministers who were frantically handling government affairs stopped at the same time, and their eyes fell on Li Cunxi's face.
Li Cunxi retreated quietly and asked Qi Hu and Pan Yue to repeat the same words.
When the prime ministers heard that there was a headless corpse in Hanguang Temple, they all showed ugly expressions.
"Qi Hu, Pan Yue, has this matter been reported to His Majesty?"
Di Renjie stroked his beard lightly and asked with a frown.
Qi Hu said helplessly, "General Huan asked us to return to the capital to report to His Majesty, but we were stopped by guards outside Ganlu Palace."
"The guards said that His Majesty was already asleep and they didn't dare disturb His Majesty's sweet dreams, so they let us go."
"Since we two are unable to see Your Majesty, we have no choice but to come here and ask the ministers to come forward."
Qi Hu was also a smart man, and he immediately pushed all the responsibility onto the guards on duty.
Wu Chengsi's brows were almost twisted into a "川" shape, and murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
"Yeah!"
"Those guards actually dared to stop such a major incident?"
He stood up suddenly and kicked over the table.
The government affairs and writing brushes, inkstones and other items on the table all rolled to the ground.
"Such a major event has occurred at this critical moment and is already endangering Your Majesty's life. I absolutely cannot ignore it!"
"I'll leave the government affairs here to you. I will go to Ganlu Palace to meet His Majesty immediately!"
"Cunxi, follow Qi Hu and Pan Yue to Ganlu Temple and investigate this matter first."
Li Cunxi was waiting for this sentence and quickly agreed.
"There's only a few hours left until dawn. I'm heading to Hanguang Temple now!"
Di Renjie frowned and said:
"This matter concerns the safety of His Majesty, and I cannot sit here and handle government affairs in peace."
"I will go to the palace with the King of Wei to meet His Majesty and explain the pros and cons of this matter."
Wu Chengsi and Di Renjie rarely stood together, but today their common interests touched upon each other, so they immediately decided to enter the palace together.
Although Wu Sansi also wanted to run away and hand over the government affairs to others, before he sat up, he found that Zhang Jianzhi opposite him was also ready to make a move.
It seemed that as long as he left the table, Zhang Jianzhi would seize the opportunity to escape from these endless government affairs.
"Ugh."
Wu Sansi sighed helplessly. After all, he did not dare to offend the remaining four prime ministers. He sat down and continued to handle government affairs.
As a result, the nine-member team of the Political Affairs Hall soon had a new task.
As soon as Li Cunxi walked out of the government hall, he saw a figure quietly following him out from behind.
The figure was big and strong, and it was obvious that he was the good brother Wang Xiaojie.
"Brother, why did you come out?"
Wang Xiaojie had his hands behind his back, but the moment he left the government hall, he could no longer pretend and grinned at Li Cunxi.
"Brother, I really don't want to stay in here anymore."
"Those government affairs can't be handled at all. I don't know how to handle them anyway, and sitting there is just suffering. I might as well follow you and protect your safety."
Li Cunxi weighed his own strength and with a strength value of 147, he definitely did not need the other party's protection.
But how could the other party know that he was invincible?
Wang Xiaojie is just a good brother who loves his younger brother.
"Brother, since you don't want to stay in there, let's leave Luoyang quickly."
"If this case is not solved before dawn, it will be difficult for the emperor to safely pay homage to Hanguang Temple tomorrow."
Li Cunxi said no more and asked Qi Hu and Pan Yue to lead the way. The four of them quickly left Taichu Palace.
Ma Rong, who was driving a carriage and waiting outside, saw Li Cunxi go out, so he hurriedly drove the carriage over.
"My Lord, are you going back home?"
"No, I want to go to Hanguang Temple, but the carriage is too slow, so I plan to go there on horseback."
Ma Rong understood and asked, "Then I will go and fetch His Royal Highness the Duke of Liang and Doctor Lu."
Li Cunxi nodded, thinking that it was impossible for him to forget his good brothers when such a good thing happened.
The new Flying Dragon Envoy An Min brought two good horses from the stable and handed them over to Li Cunxi and Wang Xiaojie, bowing respectfully.
"My two Lords, it's really tiring to be on duty so late at night."
Li Cunxi got on his horse and said calmly:
"It's certainly hard work, but we're all working for His Majesty, and this is what we should do."
"Alright, Dragon Envoy, you can go back and have a good rest. We'll have to return the horses tomorrow."
An Min bowed and left with his two subordinates.
Luoyang was very quiet late at night, and night watchmen would not appear near the imperial palace.
Li Cunxi and his entourage spurred their horses and headed straight for the west gate of Luoyang.
It was more than half an hour later that Li Cunxi saw the Hanguang Temple next to the official road.
"Finally we're here!"
