Seeing Shu Liang thinking seriously, Zhu Qizhen's expression suddenly changed.
He was originally angry and spoke indiscriminately. Now he calmed down, looked around, and suddenly realized his situation.
That is, the entire General Military Mansion has actually been controlled by Shu Liang!
In other words, his own life was also in the opponent's hands. Although, in the General Military Mansion, the possibility of Shu Liang taking action against him was slim, but what if?
With this thought, Zhu Qizhen's momentum, which had just been built up by anger, suddenly disappeared without a trace. He took two steps back in panic, almost retreating into the room.
Fortunately, there are two people around him, Yuan Bin and Ha Ming, who can give him a little sense of security.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise from the door of the mansion.
Then, another group of officers and soldiers broke into the mansion despite the blockade of the Jin Yiwei. The leader wore a helmet and armor, marched forward with his sword, and had an awe-inspiring aura. This person was none other than the general soldier of Xuanfu.
Official, Datong Bo Tao Jin.
As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, Tao Jin saw the Mongolian guards who had just been dragged out. So, he felt anxious and entered the inner courtyard in a few steps, arriving before anyone arrived.
"Shu Liang, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen suddenly seemed to have seen a savior and shouted loudly.
"General Tao, I am here!"
Tao Jin strode into the courtyard, took a cursory glance, and saw that Zhu Qizhen was fine. Then he finally felt relieved and knelt down on one knee.
"My escort is late, please forgive me!"
Then, the officers and soldiers who followed Tao Jin into the mansion followed closely, and in an instant, they surrounded the people brought by Shu Liang.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Shu Liang broke in, in fact, Zhu Qizhen had never been too vigilant.
Because he knew that Xuanfu was Tao Jin’s territory, and Tao Jin was from the British government!
At the beginning, Yuan Bin, Zhang Fu and others made a plan and chose the person to cooperate, Tao Jin of the Xuan Mansion. Although an accident happened in the end, Zhu Qizhen believed in Zhang Fu's vision.
Therefore, he has been waiting for Tao Jin to come and escort him.
He waited...
Therefore, Zhu Qizhen immediately regained his confidence and said: "General Tao arrived just in time, help me quickly to capture Shu Liang who broke into the palace without permission!"
Tao Jin stood up, protected Zhu Qizhen behind him, and faced Shu Liang, but saw the same fake smile on his face, showing no sign of panic at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Tao Jin still didn't take action, but asked.
"I dare to ask Eunuch Shu, why did he bring so many people into the inner courtyard? Why were all the guards around the Supreme Emperor tied up by the people brought by Eunuch Shu?"
It is true that Tao Jin is from the British government. When he got the news that the General Military Mansion was besieged, he immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers and broke in without hesitation.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to seek death.
From the moment he entered the inner courtyard, Tao Jin could clearly see that in Shu Liang's hand, he was holding a jade scroll of yellow silk with a dark dragon pattern. It was an imperial edict!
Having it in hand means that everything Shu Liang did was approved by the emperor, or at least had the emperor's support behind him.
It is one thing to lead troops to break through the door and ensure the safety of the Supreme Emperor, but it is another thing to arrest an angel holding an imperial edict without authorization.
Not to mention, this man is the famous Admiral of Dongchang!
Arresting people without asking any questions is the real way to seek death...
Shu Liang stood there, still looking unmoved, without the slightest panic, and said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"General Tao may have misunderstood. Our family has sent people to guard outside the General Military Mansion. They have accepted the Emperor's decree and are responsible for external protection. As for these people behind the scenes, they are just following up to deliver charcoal fire. They are not breaking into the inner courtyard.
As for the guards around the Supreme Emperor, hey, they disrespected the imperial edict and spoke arrogantly. We did not kill them on the spot, because we have already shown the Supreme Emperor's face."
Peripheral protection?
Send charcoal fire?
What kind of perfunctory reasons are these?
Tao Jin grinned, looking at Shu Liang's serious look and couldn't help but feel speechless.
He was about to open his mouth to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back abruptly.
What is he going to refute? What should he do after refuting?
These reasons are admittedly perfunctory, but why would Shu Liang use these reasons that are obviously lies?
Previously, Tao Jin rushed over in a hurry because he was worried about something happening to the Supreme Emperor. Now he calmed down and couldn't help but think a few more times.
It's impossible for Shu Liang not to know that these reasons are ridiculous.
But, he still used it.
The reason is that a ridiculous reason is also a reason. Shu Liang put this reason out to show that he is willing to give someone a chance, but he is not afraid of breaking his face.
Thinking further, could Tao Jin not accept this reason?
The answer is of course no!
Just like Shu Liang did not dare to blatantly attack the Supreme Emperor, Tao Jin did not dare to arrest a Dongchang admiral who held the Holy Order without authorization.
If the Supreme Emperor was injured or hit, then of course he would control Shu Liang without hesitation.
But the problem is, no!
Although the inner courtyard was in a mess, the Supreme Emperor's body was still neat and tidy, without any dust on it.
This is enough to prove that everything Shu Liang did in the courtyard did not involve the Supreme Emperor himself.
In this case, things become difficult.
For Tao Jin, the only way is to reduce big things to small ones.
No matter how ridiculous the reasons Shu Liang gave, he could only hold his nose and accept this path!
After thinking about this, he sighed, turned around, and said carefully.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Shu Liang is also in a hurry and has no intention of offending. If he is arrested because of this, there may be something wrong. I would like to ask His Majesty for his warning."
After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen gradually calmed down.
He also knew what Tao Jin was in trouble for, so he didn't make things too difficult for him. However, so many things happened today, and Zhu Qizhen had lost all face. All of this was inseparable from Shu Liang.
After taking another deep breath, Zhu Qizhen stared at Shu Liang and said for a long time.
"Hurry up and announce the decree, and then get out!"
Facing the anger of the Supreme Emperor, Shu Liang could already ignore it. With a smile on his lips, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
Immediately, Shu Liang finally unfolded the jade scroll and silk in his hand and read.
"I have issued an edict that Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of Gansu Province, has left his post without permission, which is against my will. I order Shu Liang, the eunuch of Dongchang, to escort him to the capital for trial. I hereby express my gratitude."
After closing the imperial edict, Shu Liang handed it to Liu Yongcheng who was kneeling on the ground with a smile and said.
"Eunuch Liu, take the order!"
Compared to Zhu Qizhen's anger, Liu Yongcheng was much calmer.
He had already had this realization when he decided to rush over. He sighed often, turned around and bowed to Zhu Qizhen, saying.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot protect your safety. Please take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned around, with a loud voice, and slapped his head on the ground.
"Liu Yongcheng, the internal minister, takes the order to thank you!"
Shu Liang put the imperial edict into Liu Yongcheng's hands, and then immediately the guards in Jinyi came forward, tied Liu Yongcheng tightly and held him down.
Zhu Qizhen's face was ashen, and he resisted and did not say anything to stop him.
He knew that the reason why Liu Yongcheng did not resist was to avoid conflicts and ensure his safety as much as possible, so at this time, he could not be impulsive.
But even so, he couldn't help but said to Shu Liang.
"Okay, it's okay, get out of here!"
The disgust in this sentence could hardly be concealed, but Shu Liang seemed undecided, patted his head and said.
"Oh, thank you so much for the reminder from the Supreme Emperor. Minister, indeed, there is one more thing that I need to ask for the Supreme Emperor's approval!"
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen no longer wanted to say a word to Shu Liangduo.
However, at the same time, he also knew that Shu Liang would not fail to tell him whether he asked or not.
Therefore, he just wanted to send Shu Liang away quickly, and asked in an increasingly impatient tone: "What's the matter?"
Shu Liang smiled, bowed deeply and said.
"Please, Your Majesty, please go to Tumu Fort to pay homage to the hundreds of thousands of souls who died in the Battle of Tumu!"
