Chapter three hundred and seventy fourth behind the scenes
Under the leadership of the young eunuch and the guards, Yuxi Palace arrived quickly.
Eunuch Bai received the news in advance and came out with a smile. When he saw Lu Bai escorting Queen Luo, his expression froze.
He hurriedly pulled Lu Bai over and lowered his voice: "Master Lu, what do you mean?"
Lu Bai spoke righteously, "The state has national laws, families have family rules, and the prince's methods are the same as those of the common people. No, during the investigation, I found out that King Luo was involved in a case of selling an official position, and now I have brought him here."
Eunuch Bai was stunned.
It was as if he was meeting Lu Bai for the first time. He looked him up and down before advising in a low voice: "Master Lu, leave the prince to me. You can go back. The emperor is very angry now. You are asking for trouble by going."
Lu Bai was puzzled, "What's wrong with the Emperor? Is he hungry?"
"Ahem." Eunuch Bai flashed his waist, obviously not expecting Lu Bai to arrange the emperor in this way.
He waved his hand, "No, no, it's the case that the emperor asked Beizhen Fusi to handle yesterday, your Nanzhen Fusi Inspector's case, and the key criminal in that case, Gu Jin, he, he died in Zhao Prison."
"What!" Lu Bai was shocked.
The flower-picking thief Gu Jin is dead?!
Lu Bai frowned, "How did he die? Was he poisoned or poisoned? What happened before his death? Did he leave any last words after his death?"
He finally thought of a possibility, "Could it be that Jin Yiwei tortured the person to death?"
This torture is also a science.
Some of the raw melons and eggs are not gentle or serious, and it is easy to kill people by torture.
Eunuch Bai didn't know this. He had just brought in Beizhen Fusi Xiao Zhan. When he heard him reporting the matter, the emperor was furious. Then he got the news that King Lu Bai and Yaluo had come, and hurried out to stop him.
"Master Lu, you'd better go back." Eunuch Bai said.
Although the main responsibility for this matter lies with Beizhen Fusi, Lu Bai has the responsibility of supervision and is jointly and severally liable.
Lu Bai refused, "That's not possible. For reasons of both emotions and reasons, I have to be present. I can't let Xiao Zhan be scolded alone. I also have to go in. Besides, I have to escort the prince in."
After saying that, Lu Bai couldn't help but escort King Luo forward.
King Luo, on the other hand, was a little timid and didn't want to go in after hearing that his father was losing his temper.
Lu Bai pulled him and said, "What are you afraid of? If one person does something, another person should take responsibility. This is a true man. Look at your uncle. I dare to stand on the boat and slap Liyuan in the face in full view of the public. What is this called? This
To be willing to be cut into pieces——"
"Ahem—" Lu Bai stopped in time.
He realized that it was too hard to be exaggerated, so he almost said something outrageous, "Forget it, let's stop talking, let's go in and take a look."
Lu Bai couldn't help but push King Luo in.
Eunuch Bai looked at Lu Bai's back, and for a moment he didn't know whether Lu Bai was really upright or not.
"Old Bai, hurry up." Lu Bai turned around and called to Eunuch Bai.
He has to wait for eunuch Bai to report.
"Coming, coming." Eunuch Bai hurriedly caught up and led them quietly into the main hall.
"What do you Jin Yiwei do for food!" The emperor's yelling voice echoed in the hall, "A good person died quietly in Zhao Prison for no reason, and you can't find anything! One day, I
He was killed, and you didn’t know anything about it!”
Xiao Zhan lowered his head and knelt at the foot of the steps tremblingly, not daring to speak. On his forehead, big beads of sweat were falling down, flowing to the tip of his nose, making his nose itchy, and he did not dare to wipe it.
These are troubled times. The emperor wanted to replace him, and Lu Bai was aggressive and wanted his life at all times.
Xiao Zhan lived like walking on thin ice.
He also wanted to handle this case beautifully so as to secure his position as a royal guard, but no one could have imagined that a living person would die quietly in Zhao Prison.
"It's all a mess. It's a bunch of trash." The emperor walked up and down the hall. When he saw someone coming in, he was about to curse. Suddenly he saw Lu Bai, and his tone suddenly changed, "You Beizhen Fusi
It’s really what Governor Lu Zhen said. It should be changed properly and thoroughly. If it doesn’t change, all the Jinyiwei will be free of charge from now on and it will be a waste of my money!”
The emperor sat on the dragon chair angrily, "Lu Zhen Fu, you came at the right time. From today on, you will temporarily serve as the Northern Town Fu, and you will do your best to pursue the case of the flower picking thief. As for the original North Town Fu,
The envoy and the Jin Yiwei commander envoy Xiao Zhan——"
The emperor looked at Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan subconsciously raised his head——
"Your Majesty." Lu Bai spoke, "As you just said, Beizhen Fusi has reached the point where it needs to be changed, and the changes in Beizhen Fusi must first change from South Town Fusi. I have just arrived in Nanzhen now
Fusi is about to change, and it is really not the opportunity to take over Beizhen Fusi now. I suggest that the commander Xiao Zhan investigate the case and make meritorious service."
The emperor's brows frowned.
His dismissal was false, but his replacement was true. In fact, he wanted to take the Jin Yiwei away from Xiao Zhan's hands so that he could control it and wave his fingers like an arm.
Lu Bai actually refused now!
Just as the emperor was about to speak, Eunuch Bai suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Lu said is true. The reform of Jinyiwei is related to the country and the country. This is the most important thing. A mere small case cannot be compared with this."
The emperor's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He looked at Eunuch Bai and wondered what he had planned.
Eunuch Bai glanced at the emperor quietly, and the emperor said reluctantly: "What Bai Daban said is true. In that case, the envoy of Lu Zhen will continue to serve as the envoy of Nanzhen, and he will drastically reform the Jin Yiwei. As for Commander Xiao,
Commander, I will give you half a year to prove your guilt and do your best to investigate the case. If the truth cannot be revealed by then, you will no longer need to take your position as the commander of the Imperial Guard!"
He did not forget to add in a rueful tone, "No one can protect you then, I said so!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zhan, who had survived the disaster, hurriedly responded.
"Okay, let's go down." The emperor waved his hand impatiently.
Xiao Zhan hurriedly retreated outside the palace gate. When he passed by Lu Bai, he raised his head and gave him a complicated look, then lowered his head and went out.
Before stepping out of the main hall, he heard the emperor change his tone and asked with a smile: "Envoy Lu Zhen, what can I do for you?"
Xiao Zhan's face became even worse.
It is true that this world has strength, everything else is false. With strength, even the emperor's words will sound nice.
Inside the main hall.
Lu Bai pushed King Luo forward, "Your Majesty, I was investigating a case of the disappearance of a royal guard. When I followed the clues, I found a clue about selling an official position. Then I found out that it was King Luo and people from the Shi family who were selling official positions!
"
He cupped his hands and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, the selection of scholars through the imperial examination was decided at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty. It is one of the important measures to select talents for the country and maintain the purity of the country's oceans and rivers. Now stretch your hand here.
, is destroying the foundation of our dynasty. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest, not to mention that the king of Luo is the emperor. This is tantamount to guarding and stealing, and inviting wolves into the house."
Lu Bai put down his hands, stood up straight, straightened his back, and said loudly: "The crime should be increased. However, because he is the prince, I can't handle him well, so I escorted him here.
coming."
The emperor listened to Lu Bai's impassioned speech and never interrupted Lu Bai. Even after Lu Bai finished speaking, he did not look at King Luo, but looked at Lu Bai very strangely.
Lu Bai stood like a pine tree, his eyes like torches, staring straight at the emperor, expecting him to speak.
The emperor held his forehead and sighed softly.
He doesn't know now whether Lu Bai is pretending to be stupid, or is he really that upright, or is he really that naive?
Can't guess, can't see through.
Just like Lu Bai suddenly attacked the guest in the Liyuan and slapped Wang Changkang in front of his face, it was as hard to see through.
But whether Lu Bai was pretending to be confused or he was just here for the first time and didn't know the twists and turns in the capital and temples, the emperor had to give him an explanation.
then--
"boom!"
The emperor slapped the dragon chair, and the solid gold dragon head armrests were immediately broken, "Naughty son, look at the good things you have done. As a prince, you actually sold your official position. Why don't you sell your father's throne?"
King Luo lowered his head, "Father, I -"
"What am I!" The emperor came to King Luo in the blink of an eye, kicked him in the lower abdomen, and kicked him out. "As a son of a man, it's fine if I don't share my father's worries. If I'm just adding to the chaos, I
It seems that I am too relaxed in my discipline on you!"
King Luo rolled on the ground, rolled behind the curtain, and hurriedly crawled over on his knees, lying on the ground and begging for mercy, "Father, I know I was wrong, please spare me."
Lu Bai also hurriedly stopped the emperor.
He was still a little surprised.
The emperor usually sits on the dragon throne and is too lazy to move, but he didn't expect that his cultivation level is quite high, at least in the realm of breaking the sky. It seems that he underestimated the emperor.
However, if you think about it carefully, there is really no reason for Lu Bai to look down on him.
He didn't even look at how good the cultivation resources the emperor had, including the treasures of heaven and earth paid tribute by the world, the support of the eight major sects, and the throne and treasures left by his ancestors as a son of heaven.
Motivated by so many things, Lu Bai felt that the emperor's cultivation level could not be lowered no matter how much he wanted to.
What can be expected is that every emperor is a little genius, an outstanding little genius piled up with resources.
However, they are still too inferior to a genius like Lu Bai.
After all, Lu Bai is a plug-in genius.
Lu Bai stood in front of the emperor and advised: "Your Majesty, although my son will not be effective without hitting him, we still have to hit him leisurely. After all, the purpose of hitting him is to let him know that he is wrong, not to let them know that it hurts."
He knew that the emperor was stingy, so he added, "You can't treat him if he's broken? It's a waste of money."
This sentence won the emperor's heart.
"Envoy Lu Zhen is right." The emperor stopped, "But the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living crime cannot be escaped. From now on, you will be banned from home and copy the Four Books and Five Classics at home. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the palace.
One step and I'll break your legs!"
This is not over yet.
The emperor was still angry and said: "The food and clothing in Prince Luo's house should be kept simple. Live a poor life and don't be obsessed with money!"
King Luo hurriedly accepted the order.
Eunuch Bai looked at Lu Bai and saw that he treated the emperor so lightly, without even raising his eyelids. There was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and there was even a smile on his face. He couldn't help but wonder.
What does Lu Bai mean?
Lu Bai didn't care what Eunuch Bai was thinking, he had achieved his goal now: as the emperor punished King Luo, a prompt flashed on the panel, reminding him that he had a chance to draw a lottery.
"call!"
Lu Bai felt nervous.
He thought, this case of selling an official position involves King Luo, so it must be a big case anyway, and he wonders what good things will be in the prize pool of the lottery wheel.
Lu Bai hopes to get a realm improvement card, so that he will truly be invincible in the world.
However, although he was anxious, he also knew that this was not the time for the lottery, so he took his eyes away from the panel and looked at the emperor's punishment of King Luo, and King Luo crying bitterly.
Lu Bai discovered that this family is really good actors.
He already understood.
Judging from the emperor's performance just now, this King Luo is just a small leader in the case of selling his official position. The real big fish is someone else, the emperor who is currently reprimanding King Luo.
I have long heard that the emperor values wealth as much as his life. Lu Bai just listened and didn't have any real feelings about it. Today, he really felt it.
For money, the official can sell it, or he can kill the official and continue to sell it.
Just as Gu Qinghuan said, this emperor really has an eye for money.
I don’t know what’s good about this money.
Isn’t it the king’s land in the whole world? Why is he saving so much money?
Why?
Lu Bai suddenly thought of a question. If so, does this case involve the emperor?
If this case is bigger, are the prizes in the prize pool better?
Full of anticipation.
Lu Bai now wished that the emperor had finished his beeping quickly so that he could let him go and let him go out to draw the lottery.
Of course, these thoughts were just popping up in Lu Bai's mind, without any expression on his face.
"Okay, you guys, please stand down." After the emperor scolded him, his lips were dry and he was too lazy to scold him any more. Moreover, he felt uncomfortable with scolding him like this, as he felt like he was scolding himself.
"Yes, I will leave."
"My son, please retire."
King Luo and Lu Bai bowed their hands and walked out of the hall together.
After the emperor watched them leave, the emperor let out a breath and said dissatisfied: "I can't handle this even well, it's an embarrassment for the important task!"
Obviously he is talking about King Luo.
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Bai again, "Bai Daban, why did you stop me just now?"
Removing Xiao Zhan from his post was something he had long planned in his mind.
Eunuch Bai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, it's not that Commander Xiao doesn't do things, it's just that when he does something, it will be reported to Yiqiu Villa, and sometimes it's not so good, but it can still be used if you make do with it."
But Lu Bai is not like that——
"Master Lu, this young genius is young and energetic. Sometimes he acts impulsively, sometimes he is cunning and calculating. Because of his high level of cultivation, he is even less considerate when doing things -" Eunuch Bai said so much. Seeing that the emperor was getting more and more...
Unsatisfied, he hurriedly pointed out the key points, "I can't see through this person, and I'm afraid that if you move him to the position of commander in a hurry, you won't be able to grasp it by then."
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and thought for a while, "What Bai Daban said is true."
He hoped that the person in the commanding position would be a good dog, not an uncontrollable person.
After all, the Jinyiwei are the emperor's own soldiers.
