Chapter 990: One family is happy and the other is worried



Zhou Shizhong was extremely angry at this time.

However, anger is anger, but when reporting to the court, it must be reported to the court, because the Purity Department of the imperial court cannot be said to be pervasive, but these major changes in the war situation must not be hidden from the eyes of the Purity Department.

Therefore, he could only truthfully write down the situation in a memorial and submit it to Yanjing. However, the memorial naturally had to defend himself and at the same time assure the emperor how long it would take to recapture Xuzhou.

However, Zhou Shizhong's urgent report had not yet been sent to Yandu, but the secret report of the Cleansing Department had been sent to Yandu in advance.

On the night of the second day after Shen Yi occupied Xuzhou City, an urgent secret message was sent to Yandu, and was sent all the way to the Yandu Palace and placed on the desk of Emperor Yongping.

Although His Majesty the Emperor, who has been in power for more than thirty years, has not been in court for a long time, he still reads memorials and the like. The entire political affairs of the court are still under his control.

That night, Emperor Yongping, whose cough worsened again, looked through these urgent documents as usual.

He leaned on the soft couch, coughed twice, and then read the report about Xuzhou from the Cleansing Department.

Emperor Yongping had been in the imperial court for many years. As an emperor, he had already developed the ability to keep his emotions and anger hidden, but after seeing this report, he still couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.

"Liu Yi...Liu Yi!"

Eunuch Liu Yi hurriedly ran out with small steps, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you..."

Emperor Yongping's eyes were wide open and covered with bloodshot eyes, which looked quite scary.

He banged the table with his hand and shouted: "Summon Wei Jiang into the palace to see me immediately! Immediately!"

Liu Yi was startled.

Although he served the emperor...or rather he was a great eunuch, although it did not cover the entire career of Emperor Yongping, it lasted at least more than ten years. In these ten years, in his impression, he had always been his master.

He seemed to be inexpressibly happy and angry, but today, he was thunderous and furious.

As for Wei Jiang, whom Emperor Yongping mentioned, he was the head of the Purity Department, Sizheng of the Purity Department.

Liu Yi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, Master, I will call Wei Sizheng right now..."

He hurriedly withdrew, and hurriedly sent people out of the palace to find Wei Jiang.

About half an hour later, Wei Jiang appeared in front of His Majesty the Emperor and knelt on the ground, trembling.

Different from the Di Bao Department in the Southern Dynasty, the Purity Department in the Northern Qi Dynasty was an organization with great powers.

On the surface, the position of Sizheng of the Purity Department is only the fifth rank, but the true authority of this position can be ranked among the top twenty in Yandu.

If you calculate more carefully, there may not be any problem in getting into the top fifteen!

Typical job with low weight.

But at this time, the guard was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at him coldly and shouted: "Is this true?"

Wei Si was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is definitely not false. The people below have seen it with their own eyes..."

Emperor Yongping frowned: "What did you see with your own eyes?"

Having said this, even Wei Jiang swallowed, kowtowed again, and said cautiously: "See..."

"Seeing the flags changing on Xuzhou City..."

He raised his head to look at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head, gritting his teeth and said: "The big flag with the word Chen and the flag with the word Shen have been hung up!"

When Emperor Yongping heard this, his vision went dark, and he almost collapsed on the soft couch. He clenched his fists tightly: "Why don't you come into the palace to report such important news?"

Wei Jiang complained secretly in his heart.

At this time, who would want to go to the palace to live and die?

However, he still lowered his head and said: "Back to the emperor, when the news came, it was already dark, the palace door was closed, and I had no way to enter the palace without a handwriting..."

Having said this, he still lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Shizhong neglected his duties and lost the important city of Xuzhou. With your order, I will take people there immediately, retain him, dismiss him, and send him to Yanjing!"

Emperor Yongping coughed twice violently, then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and slowly calmed down.

"Bring him to Yanjing, who will be responsible for the war along the Huaihe River?"

Wei Jiang knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing.

The emperor closed his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Wait until his memorial is delivered and handed over to the court for public discussion."

Having said this, he looked at Wei Jiang and said expressionlessly: "From today on, Xuzhou love affairs will be delivered twice a day, do you understand?"

Wei Jiang kowtowed respectfully: "I...obey my order!"

……………………

At the same time that Yandu received the news, Jiankang City in the south also received the news almost at the same time.

It might even take a few hours in the morning.

Because Shen Yi has been following the inner guard from very early on.

Although these internal guards are used to protect him.

But what has to be said is that while being protected, some of his own big actions were no secret to the emperor.

On the afternoon of the second day after Shen Yi occupied Xuzhou, the secret report from the internal guards was sent to the palace and to the desk of Gao Ming, the eunuch.

Because the internal guard's report was not considered a ministerial document, nor was it sealed, Gao Ming, the "big secret" around the emperor, had the right to read it.

However, when the secret report was delivered, he was not in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was only half an hour later that Eunuch Gao saw the secret report.

He just called and briefly read the contents, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly!

The "internal minister" of the inner court for many years also changed his expression. He took this document and came to the Manlu Hall. He almost ran all the way to the front of His Majesty the Emperor.

It is summer now, and a lot of ice cubes have been placed in the Manna Palace to cool down. Even so, it is inevitable that the palace is still a little hot. There are maids fanning beside His Majesty the Emperor all the time.

At this time, Emperor Hongde was drinking an ice drink. When he saw Eunuch Gao walking in, he waved to Gao Ming and said with a smile: "I asked the imperial chef to prepare a lot of ice soup to relieve the heat. I'll drink it."

It’s not finished, you came just in time, you divide two bowls, and the rest is divided among the palace people, so as not to waste it.”

His Majesty the Emperor is in a very good mood.

Because Shen Yi's situation was reported to him at any time, in his opinion, Shen Yi led his troops deep into the realm of Qi people and won several small victories. It can be said that he has gained face.

At this time, Emperor Hongde felt much more confident whether he was facing ministers in private or holding court meetings.

Eunuch Gao did not answer, but knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, holding the secret music in his hands high.

"Your Majesty, urgent secret report from the frontline internal guards!"

The emperor was stunned when he saw this, put the ice soup in his hand aside, then stood up, looked at Gao Ming kneeling on the ground, and laughed dumbly: "What happened to make you so virtuous?"

Eunuch Gao still lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, you will know after seeing it!"

The emperor frowned and hesitated: "What's the point? Could it be that Shen Qi is dead?"

Although he spoke like this, he still stretched out his hand, took the secret report, and slowly unfolded it.

Soon, he had read the short secret report.

Emperor Hongde stood in place, or rather froze, and did not move for a long time.

The high eunuch knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

"Even if we only talk about today, your majesty's martial arts achievements are already unparalleled for all generations, and are directly catching up with Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong!"

The emperor lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand again, then his eyes widened and he read it over and over again.

"Sure…"

The emperor swallowed his saliva and said in a somewhat jerky voice, "Are you sure there is no lie?"

"Secret Memoirs of the Internal Guard..."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said: "They have a hundred thousand courages, but they don't dare to deceive Your Majesty about this kind of thing!"

It was only then that the emperor's hands began to tremble.

He stood there for a long time, a wave of ecstasy welling up in his heart.

"Brilliant, show off, show off!"

Eunuch Gao raised his head and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are going..."

"Leave the palace and go to Shen Mansion..."

His Majesty the Emperor threw the document aside and laughed loudly.

"Go and see my eldest nephew!"
