Clouds move in all directions
"Why did the general let Zhang Huan leave Chang'an? Isn't this letting the tiger return to the mountain?"
After Bingji learned that Zhang Huan was going to the Western Regions, he immediately approached Huo Guang.
After Huo Guang asked Bing Ji to sit down, he asked: "Why did Bing Gong say this? Zhang Huan has never broken the law, why can't he leave the capital?"
Bingji was speechless for a moment. Zhang Huan had indeed, as Huo Guang said, never violated Han laws. In theory, he was still a Han prince and naturally had the right to travel freely.
But that's only in theory. Zhang Huan should actually be regarded as Zhang Yue's proton left in Chang'an.
But this cannot be said on the table.
Seeing that the scene fell into silence, Tian Yannian showed a slight smile and said:
"Bing Gong thinks that if Marquis Yunyang really has different intentions, he will care about Zhang Huanhu?"
When Bingji heard this, he suddenly thought of the incident between Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu in the past.
He stood up, silently bowed to Huo Guang and Tian Yannian, then said goodbye and left.
…
Half an hour later, in the announcement room, the emperor looked at Bingji with a livid face.
"Mr. Bing, what do the generals say?"
Bingji silently stood up and bowed: "General Yan Zhang Huan has not violated Han law, so he can come and go as he pleases!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor suddenly pulled out the Emperor's Sword from his waist.
"Bang!"
The emperor struck the cases in front of him with his sword. Unfortunately, the emperor was not strong enough and did not cut the cases open. Instead, the sword got stuck on the cases.
The emperor tried to pull the sword out of the case several times without success.
This made the emperor even more angry, and he simply kicked several cases to the ground.
Objects on the tables were flying everywhere, and Bingji was hit in the face by a fragment of a broken vase, which caused him to bleed profusely.
The surrounding small yellow gates were trembling with fear when they saw this.
The emperor was still in anger at this time. After he finished smashing everything around him, the emperor discovered the injured Bingji.
The emperor looked at Bing Ji and told Huang Menling: "Bring Bing Gong down quickly for treatment!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A somewhat frustrated Bingji just thanked the emperor for his kindness in a routine manner, and then left the announcement room with Huang Menling.
Walking on the road, Huang Menling said to Bingji: "The emperor is very angry. I hope Bing Gong will be more considerate..."
Hearing this, Bingji showed a smile on his face and said: "It's not easy for Your Majesty either... Huang Menling has worked hard... He should give more advice to the Emperor..."
The two of them talked incessantly until they reached the side hall where Taichang was, and then they stopped.
After the wound was bandaged, Bingji said goodbye to Huang Menling and left the palace.
Seeing that Du Ling had gone away, Huangmenling also returned to the Proclamation Room to report back to the emperor.
"Bingji is gone?"
The emperor asked expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, Duke Bing has left the palace!"
"Um!"
The emperor responded in a low voice, and then said to Huang Menling: "Send someone to keep an eye on Bingji and see where he has been these days!"
Huang Menling was shocked when he heard this and felt something was wrong. He was about to persuade him, but he found a look of displeasure in the emperor's eyes.
His heart tightened and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"Someone summon me the messenger of beautiful clothes!"
"promise!"
Huang Menling secretly looked at the emperor, and suddenly realized that he could no longer see through the emperor he had served for several years.
Just then a terrible thought jumped out of his heart.
"Why is the emperor's appearance so different from that of the previous emperor..."
As soon as this thought popped up, he suppressed it forcefully.
While Huang Menling was thinking about things, the messenger of Xiuyi also arrived.
"The envoy of your beautiful clothes pays homage to your majesty...your majesty will live forever!"
The emperor agreed casually.
"How is Du Ling's relationship with the Yunyang Marquis Mansion now?"
"Your Majesty, Du Xue will enter the Yunyang Marquis Mansion every three to five days as usual..."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what they are talking about?"
The messenger in beautiful clothes bowed and said, "These are all academic matters!"
The emperor was hesitant and asked: "Is this really the only thing?"
The messenger of Xiuyi replied affirmatively: "Indeed, these are the only ones!"
The emperor nodded, "Keep an eye on Du Ling and Yunyang Hou Mansion!"
"promise"
"Get down!"
The messenger in beautiful clothes bowed and was about to leave.
At this time, the emperor suddenly asked: "How is my great-nephew doing now?"
The messenger in beautiful clothes stopped and reported: "...has been kept in Yeting..."
"Um!"
"Get down!"
"promise!"
…
After the handsome messenger came out of the palace, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. After leaving the palace, he immediately ran to the general's palace.
"The subordinates pay their respects to the general!"
"The envoy of Xiuyi is here, what can I learn from you?"
Although Huo Guang was asking, he had actually already guessed his purpose.
"For the record, General, today His Majesty suddenly mentioned that... my subordinates thought it was inappropriate and came here to seek advice from the General!"
Huo Guang sighed, first thanked him, and then said: "Your Majesty is an elder, and it is normal to care about the younger generations..."
The Xiuyi messenger cursed the old fox in his heart.
But with a smile on his face, he said: "Your Majesty has ordered that Duke Du and the Yunyang Marquis Mansion be monitored at all times...Does the General have any instructions?"
Huo Guang closed his eyes slightly and said softly: "The big man is your Majesty's big man, and you and I are all your Majesty's ministers..."
"Whatever your Majesty does, I will obey you...but Your Majesty is young after all...I will still serve as Duoduo's assistant..."
After hearing this, the Xiuyi messenger was already smiling: "What the general said is true..."
…
In the Ye Ting, the emperor's inquiry about Liu's illness had spread widely.
After hearing the news, Ye Ting ordered Zhang He to feel uneasy.
This piece of congratulation was originally from a household official of Liu Xun's grandfather, the violent prince Liu Ju.
After Liu Ju died due to the witchcraft, Zhang He also received the castration.
Fortunately, his brother Zhang Anshi was not implicated, and he has always been trusted by the late emperor and the emperor.
Under Zhang Anshi's arrangement, Zhang He made the Yeting Order.
After Zhang He made the Ye Ting Order, he never forgot his old master, so he took great care of the emperor's great-grandson Liu Bing in private.
If it weren't for Zhang He's secret protection, Liu Bing would have died long ago.
In the office of the Yeting Order, Zhang He walked around uneasily.
The emperor suddenly mentioned his great-grandson today, which made him feel very frightened.
Unlike people outside the palace, as a person in the palace, he knew the emperor better.
