Chapter 145: Face Saint
"The forbidden area of the palace, let's stop?" With the shout of a sword guard, Qin Hui, Zuo Qianhu, Fu Tianchou, Fu Qingfeng, and Fu Yuechi who had arrived at the palace were all stopped.
As for the Jinyiwei who were escorting the way, they were ordered by Zuo Qianhu to report the truth to the Jinyiwei headquarters as early as when they entered the city.
Zuo Qianhu looked at the man in front of him, took out a gold medal from his arms, handed it on, and said, "I am Zuoling, the Jinyiwei Qianhu. I have important things now and need to report to His Majesty the Emperor. This is my token."
"It's ridiculous for a thousand-hu to see Your Majesty!" The guard on duty muttered, and then casually took the token handed over by Zuo Qianhu.
The token has the front of the Jinyiwei Qianhu and Zuo Ling. The back of the token is a big special character, and two golden dragons are carved.
Looking at the two golden dragons engraved, the somewhat lazy guard chief immediately knelt down on one knee, held the token in his hand, and said without raising his head; "I don't know that the emperor has the emperor's order, please atone for his sins!" After saying this, the guard chief waved to his subordinates beside him and ordered; "Go and inform me quickly, and I will say that Zuo Qianhu, who is sent, will return to Beijing and want His Majesty to report."
"We can go in." Zuo Qianhu looked at the chief guard with a panic look on his face, and then smiled and brought everyone in.
"Great to see you off, sir." The chief guard said with his head down to Zuo Qianhu's back.
"Zuo Qianhu, you are quite majestic!" Seeing that the road was unobstructed, Qin Hui laughed at Zuo Qianhu beside her.
Zuo Qianhu smiled slightly after hearing this, touched the gold medal in his hand, and said, "Although our Jinyiwei is the confidant of His Majesty, our Jinyiwei only has three gold medals. Although I, Zuo Ling, are not talented, just like this one. I have been away from Beijing for a long time, and this guard commander has never seen me, so I don't know my reputation."
Just as Zuo Qianhu was showing off to Qin Hui and others, an old eunuch walked out of it.
"Master Zuo, we have parted, but we haven't seen each other for ten years!" The old eunuch who appeared said with a smile to Zuo Qianhu.
After seeing the person coming, before Zuo Qianhu could speak, Fu Tianchou, who was following Zuo Qianhu, came out and said with a smile, "Eunuch Zhao, don't be fine!"
When Eunuch Zhao saw Fu Tianchou, he was shocked, then pointed at him and said in disbelief, "You are Fu Tianchou, Lord Fu! Haven't you rebelled?"
Listening to the old eunuch's surprise, Fu Tianchou smiled bitterly, "Eunuch Zhao, you and I have always met each other! If you want to say that I have rebelled, will your Majesty and you believe it?"
Looking at Fu Tianchou who was smiling bitterly, Eunuch Zhao raised his finger and pointed at Zuo Qianhu and said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is that Your Majesty doesn't believe it. It is because Your Majesty doesn't believe it, so Zuo Qianhu was sent to investigate. Otherwise, according to the wishes of those ministers, you would have killed you long ago!"
After Eunuch Zhao said that, Orchid turned around and asked Qin Hui and a few others, "These people look so good! Who are they?"
After hearing the question from Eunuch Zhao, Fu Tianchou hurriedly explained, "This is the magistrate of Qin from Guobei County, and these two are my daughters, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi. We have important things to report to Your Majesty."
"They want to see Your Majesty too!" After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao looked at Fu Tianchou with dissatisfaction.
Fu Tianchou was unhappy when he saw the old eunuch, and quickly looked around. After finding that there was no one, he whispered to the old eunuch, "Eunuch Zhao, I will show you my secret. There is a big problem with the national teacher Pudu Cihang! It is also because of this that I brought them with me."
"A big problem!" After thinking about it, Eunuch Zhao, who was leading the way, said disregardlessly; "How big can it be!"
Looking at Eunuch Zhao's disregard, Fu Tianchou, who knew that he was a popular man around the emperor, said word by word; "The national teacher Pudu Cihang was transformed by a monster, and his body is a thousand-year-old centipede!"
Eunuch Zhao paused and then said without looking back; "Are you serious?"
Fu Tianchou replied when he heard the voice, "The court has been full of smoke in the past few years, and I think your Majesty should have noticed it. If my words are false, I will be killed on the golden pillar of the hall!"
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao's face changed drastically, and then urged the people behind him, "Come with me to see Your Majesty, and tell Your Majesty what's going on here."
Looking at Eunuch Zhao whose face changed drastically, Zuo Qianhu asked in confusion, "Does Eunuch Zhao know something?"
"It's useless to say more now. Come with me to see Your Majesty." After Eunuch Zhao said, his feet speeded up a little more.
"Your Majesty, Zuo Qianhu, Fu Tianchou and others brought him." In a hall where Ninghe Hall was written, Eunuch Zhao lowered his head and said to the man on the high platform.
Qin Hui looked up and found that the man was wearing a dragon robe, lying horizontally on a dragon chaise more than two meters long, looking frowning.
The position where Qin Hui and others stood was at least fifteen meters away from the high platform where the emperor was. Within this distance, they were surrounded by various carvings, and there was no place to stand. Moreover, with Qin Hui's eyes and ears, he found that there were at least thirty people in the hall, hiding in different corners, staring at his group.
"The criminal Fu Tianchou has seen Your Majesty." Looking at the emperor on the high platform, Fu Tianchou and others were about to kneel down.
"Okay, okay. Stop kneeling. I am most annoying to these false rituals. They are all flashy and useless!" The emperor lying on the golden bed looked at him and waved impatiently to the bottom, stopping the worship.
Looking at the emperor's gesture, everyone stopped the worship. Qin Hui, who was standing beside him, didn't even bend down. Because in his opinion, he was approaching the emperor just for the sake of profit. If he really worshiped him, he would be inseparable from the cart!
Fu Tianchou looked at Zuo Qianhu beside him and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I and Zuo Qianhu have found out that the so-called national teacher Pudu Cihang was transformed by a monster. In the past few years, it was all done by that monster. The old minister has no intention of rebellion at all. Please let Your Majesty take a closer look!"
Hearing this, the emperor sat up from the recliner and said in a deep voice, "Since the appearance of this Pudu Cihang, the entire court has been in great shock. I used to think that someone was just forming a clique for personal gain and excluding dissidents. However, in the past two years, the Jinyiwei under my command and the masters in the East Factory have fallen one after another when they go on duty. And the enshrined people in my homeland were also seriously injured when I was sent out to check. Finally, with the slow secret investigation, the spies in the Jinyiwei discovered that all this had a unclear relationship with the national teacher."
Listening to the emperor's words, Fu Tianchou asked in confusion; "Your Majesty, since you find something wrong, why didn't you mobilize the army and give him a turtle in a jar!"
When the emperor heard this, he said unwillingly, "After years of development, most of the famous ministers and generals in the court have now fallen on the side of Pudu Cihang. Now, except for some limited troops, I have no soldiers to send. Moreover, those so-called masters are not opponents of Pudu Cihang. In the end, even my enshrined people were dead and injured. And these Pudu Cihang knew about it. If he hadn't been afraid of the backlash of the emperor's energy on my body, he would have attacked me long ago."
Listening to the emperor's words, Fu Tianchou pointed to Qin Hui on the side and said, "Your Majesty, although this Pudu Cihang is powerful, it is not unrivaled. The Qin County Magistrate beside me is a master who is no less than Pudu Cihang."
"What! Can you beat Pudu Cihang? Then are you willing to go to his Cihang Hall to get rid of this disaster for me?" The emperor stood up suddenly after hearing this and asked excitedly at Qin Hui.
