When it came to the West Lake Palace, Emperor ningzong was about to go to the imperial chariot happily when someone outside suddenly called out: "kill, kill."

They were so surprised that the imperial army quickly surrounded the imperial chariot to prevent a surprise attack on emperor ningzong.

For a moment, the scene was very chaotic.

Emperor ningzong was worthy of being the king of a country. He was calm and asked Xia Zhen, the commander of the imperial army who was in charge of the guard, what happened.

After a while, Xia Zhen came with two people. He bowed to the emperor ningzong and said, "I don't have enough protection. Your majesty is shocked. Please forgive me."

At this time, Emperor ningzong had already got off the imperial chariot and asked Xia Zhen, "Xia Zhen, how can this happen? I've just promoted you to deputy commander of the imperial army. You should work hard. You can't do this well. "

Xia Zhen saw that the emperor was angry. He was so scared that he fell on his knees and said, "it's all my humble ministers who don't work well. Please punish me severely."

Seeing this, Shi Miyuan, who was standing beside him, quickly defended Xia Zhen in front of emperor ningzong and said, "Your Majesty, commander Xia has just been in office for a short time. It's inevitable that some places are a little strange. Please forgive me."

Seeing that the Emperor didn't say a word, Shi Miyuan said to Xia Zhen, "Xia Tongling, you haven't explained the whole story to your Majesty in detail."

Xia Zhen was so clever that he knew that his master Shi Miyuan was helping himself out. He pointed to the eunuch Li Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the West Lake Palace, who he brought with him, and said to Emperor ningzong, "Your Majesty, I'm familiar with this situation. I'd better let him play to your majesty."

Seeing what Xia Zhen said, Emperor ningzong asked, "what's the matter with you, Mr. Li?"

Mr. Li said in a hurry, "Your Majesty, it's the matter. When the West Lake Palace was just established, a group of eunuchs were transferred from the palace. One of the eunuchs, who didn't know what kind of stimulation he was getting mad, often yelled about" kill, kill " The eunuch wanted to drive the old man out of the palace without permission, so he was afraid that he would live in the old man's house. Normally, the door of the backyard was locked and he was not allowed to come out. Today, I don't know what happened, but he was allowed to sneak out and startle the holy driver. These are all things that the old slave didn't take strict care of. Please punish him. "

after Li Gonggong finished speaking, the emperor of ningzong did not speak, but heard Shi Miyuan drink aloud:" bold slave, he left these people in the palace. Come on, put Li Gonggong and this madman into the prison. "

so the imperial army was about to take the two men down. Just at this time, the emperor ningzong said," why should Shi Aiqing be angry? Today, I'm going on a trip. It's a happy thing. I'll forgive Mr. Li. As for the old eunuch, he's very old and poor. I'll forgive him for driving. Let him live in the backyard of the palace, Mr. Li You have to take care of him. "

" thank you, your majesty. " Li Gonggong was very grateful to the emperor.

When the emperor was used to it, he would be more and more afraid of being a dictator

"I can't agree with the prime minister's words. The emperor's move will only make the people of the Song Dynasty feel that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is a benevolent and virtuous king, so that they will be more loyal to the Song Dynasty. If they are dealt with because of this matter, it will make people feel cold." Standing beside the emperor ningzong, Xinran said.

Shi Mi's vision, Xin Ran, was not in agreement with his own opinion. After looking at Xin Ran, he was about to refute it. Emperor ningzong said, "it's still Xin Aiqing's words that are in line with my mind. Let's not argue any more. Just follow what I said just now. "

seeing that emperor ningzong said so firmly, Shi Miyuan was helpless for a moment.

All of them said together: "I will abide by the will of the emperor, my emperor's benevolence."

After that, they followed emperor ningzong into the West Lake Palace.

After entering the palace, the ministers returned to the rooms arranged by the people in the palace.

Xin Ran and Chen Wenduan are arranged together. Chen Ming, as a bookboy who follows them, is naturally with them.

In the palace, without the emperor's permission, naturally did not dare to walk around, after eating, chatting in the room.

Chen Ming asked erhuman, "don't you think it's strange what happened at the gate of the palace today? "

" it's really a bit strange that the emperor wants to stay in the West Lake Palace. The palace has already sent someone to inform him. It's said that all the people in the Palace should be arranged properly. But it's a bit wrong to let a madman destroy the atmosphere today. Moreover, the eunuch in charge of the West Lake Palace is also an experienced old eunuch. The emperor has been to the West Lake many times before I've never heard of anything wrong with the arrangement of the palace. " Chen Wenduan said.

Xin Ran then said: "according to what you said, this thing is really a bit strange. At that time, I also carefully observed the expression and words of the madman, and it seems that he should have suffered from some kind of mental disorder caused by stimulation. ""According to this idea, if he yells" kill, kill ", does it mean that he really sees someone killing, which leads to his mental stimulation and turns him into a madman?" Chen Wenduan said.

"It's very possible. Today's event seems to be caused by the inability of the people who welcome Shengjia to do things, but I always feel that it seems to be a bit unusual. It seems that something is going to happen to the West Lake Palace this time." Xin Ran said.

After listening to Xin Ran, Chen Ming put out his tongue and said, "don't scare me. I'm a little scared when I hear that madman's cry. You even say that something will happen and I can't sleep."

"Even if it's not your turn to do something, you can rest assured to sleep. If brother Xin and I are here, what are you afraid of?" Chen Wenduan said to his sister with a smile.

Xin Ran also comforted Chen Ming and said, "we have nothing to talk about. It's all speculation. You can rest assured that you'll have a good sleep. After all, this is the West Lake Palace with strict defense. Most people don't dare to do something if they want to do something."

In this way, the three people saw that it was late and were about to go back to their respective rooms to have a rest. Suddenly, they heard a rush of steps coming from outside. At the same time, someone was shouting: "no, someone was killed in the room."
