In the evening of that day, Zhou Gu and He Zheng went into the palace to report back to the emperor with their findings from the half-day investigation.
When the emperor heard that the Imperial Guards had made such a big mistake, one was dead and the other was missing, and they were obviously involved in this case, he immediately became furious, "He Zheng, I trusted you in vain and handed the Imperial Guards into your hands, but you can see for yourself
Look, something big happened to the Imperial Guards under your command, what are you talking about?"
He Zheng knelt on the ground, with a pale face unable to argue, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
The emperor was furious, "From today on, you will suspend your duties and investigate, and the deputy..." He was about to say that the deputy commander was on top, but the deputy commander was no longer relieved at this time, and suddenly stopped talking, and thought for a moment
I don't know who to take the lead.
Zhou Gu said at this time, "Your Majesty, I think Commander He can be punished and make meritorious service."
After half a day of cooperating with the investigation, he still believed in He Zheng.
The emperor frowned and looked at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu stood straight and said, "The Imperial Guard is His Majesty's Imperial Guard. How can we easily change someone to take charge? It would cause even bigger problems. I think it would be better to let Commander He take the blame and make meritorious service."
The emperor pondered for a moment with a sullen face, and felt that what Zhou Gu said was reasonable. He was promoted by him. If he was not trustworthy, who could he leave the imperial guards to? He adopted Zhou Gu's suggestion with a sullen face.
"He Zheng, I will allow you to perform meritorious service for your crime. From now on, I will conduct a thorough investigation of the Imperial Guards, find out the whereabouts of the man named Ding Man, and track down the murderer. Otherwise, you, the commander of the Imperial Guards, will not have to do this."
He Zheng quickly expressed his position and said through gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer in this humble position."
The emperor waved his hand and ordered the two of them to retreat, "Go down!"
Zhou Gu and He Zheng exited the imperial study room together.
After the two left, the emperor's anger remained unabated and he paced back and forth in the imperial study. "You are so brave. You dare to extend your hand into my imperial guards. If I hadn't been in advance..."
He wanted to say that if he hadn't forced the old protector to know Su Rong's life experience in advance on the day of the great court meeting, then when he knew that Zhao Laoer said Princess Zhenmin, and when he sent people to investigate, he heard that Zhou Gu
If he kidnapped Mr. Zhao and went to the Duke Protector's Mansion, wouldn't he have to suspect that Zhou Gu and the Duke Protector's Mansion had ulterior motives? Then he would suspect that Dong Palace had ulterior motives?
Now it is precisely because he knew in advance that he did not let the imperial guards directly bring Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei into the palace. Instead, they handed it over to Zhou Gu to preside over the trial and the imperial guards cooperated. Otherwise, Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei
Could it be that he died without seeing him? Just like Feng Si?
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. It would be fine if he had neglected the supervision of the Imperial Guards over the years. However, he did not neglect the Imperial Guards, especially the East Palace and the Protectorate Palace.
Yan. But in this case, there are still such big loopholes, which only shows that except for the East Palace and the Protectorate, he is too loose with others.
"Your Majesty, calm down and pay attention to the dragon's body." Eunuch Yu quickly reminded.
The emperor took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. The only trustworthy King Ruian was also put to use. Although he had always been suspicious of the Duke Protector's Mansion, he was now very worried about Princess Zhenmin.
There is no need to doubt it, so today I used Zhou Gu and took advantage of the situation to let him investigate the case. The imperial guard He Zheng should still be trustworthy, but he felt that he still lacked people to use.
He asked Eunuch Yu, "How's the marking going?"
"I've just finished half of the reading, and I'm working up an all-nighter." Eunuch Yu replied, "The results won't be available until half a month at the earliest."
The emperor nodded, "The imperial court still needs to be close to talented people. The third division and the sixth division must add some fresh blood. Otherwise, if this continues, I will be pissed to death by them."
Eunuch Yu quickly persuaded, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed. Don't be so angry that your bones are broken."
How could the emperor not be angry? No matter it was the prince or his sons, he didn't want to use them at this time. Who knows what was behind them? He waved his hand, "You go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion now and tell me
I have given instructions to Ye Guixue, I want to see him tomorrow."
Eunuch Yu responded and went immediately.
The last time he went to invite Ye Guixue, the emperor sent a young eunuch. Ye Guixue excused himself by saying she was not feeling well and said he would be late for a few days. Until now, he has not come into the palace. Now he has sent the eunuch in charge again.
Go, he can't shirk it.
But unexpectedly, Eunuch Yu arrived at Chengguo Duke's Mansion and met Ye Guixue. After conveying the emperor's wishes, Ye Guixue smiled and said, "I have an appointment with Miss Su Qi tomorrow. I don't want to miss the date. I would like to ask Your Majesty Daliang to wait for a day."
The day after returning to the snow, I went to the palace to pay my respects to His Majesty Daliang."
Eunuch Yu: "..."
He thought to himself, this is really hard to ask for!
What could he say, he could only nod, and said with a smile: "I will return to the palace to report to Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will have time to see Young Master Ye in the future."
Ye Guixue smiled lightly and said, "There is no rush. If His Majesty is not free the day after tomorrow, Guixue will come to the palace to pay homage to you a few days later."
Eunuch Yu laughed dryly, "Your Majesty may be free. That old slave will go back first! Young Master Ye, please rest early."
Ye Guixue nodded.
The steward of Duke Chengguo's Mansion personally escorted Eunuch Yu out of the mansion and left Ye Guixue's courtyard. Only then did Eunuch Yu ask the steward: "The second young master is staying in the mansion tonight. How can I take care of you?"
The housekeeper said quickly: "You are very good at taking care of me. Although Mr. Ye is distant from others, he is still kind and not picky."
Eunuch Yu thought to himself, he is actually kind, but he just doesn’t like to buy His Majesty’s face. The vassal state of Southern Chu has only been called a vassal state since the time of the late emperor. The battle between Wei and Daliang was also thanks to
The vassal state of Southern Chu was transferred to the vassal state of Southern Chu because Princess Zhenmin extended a helping hand. Otherwise, Daliang would have been destroyed long ago. Now many years have passed and Daliang is recuperating, but Nanchu is not bad either. It is no wonder that Guixue, this night, does not show respect to your majesty now.
After Eunuch Yu returned to the palace, he reported the truth to the emperor.
After the emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time and nodded, "I know, then I will send someone to tell him again. The day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow!"
Eunuch Yu secretly glanced at the emperor, but when he saw that the emperor was not angry, he said yes.
Early the next morning, Ye Guixue went to Ye Qiuying's yard. Seeing that she had not dressed up after breakfast, he urged her, "Why haven't you dressed up and changed clothes yet? We are about to leave."
Ye Qiuying shook her head, "Uncle, you can go alone, I won't go."
Ye Guixue asked: "Why?"
Ye Qiuying said "Ouch", "Little uncle, why are you so stupid? I won't follow you, of course, so as not to get in the way. Without me, you and Sister Su Qi can talk more, I still
It’s a little kid, so it’s not inappropriate for young children.”
Ye Guixue: "..."
He laughed for a moment and asked, "You really don't want to go?"
Ye Qiuying shook her head firmly, "I really won't go."
"Okay! Then you should be obedient in the house." Ye Guixue touched her head, turned and left.
