This time, monster assassins sneaked in, and so many people died. The prince was even injured. He, the commander who guarded the safety of the palace, had the unshirkable responsibility and must be punished.
Of course, there is also the prince who is in charge of the palace guards.
However, the emperor did not issue a decree to punish him, but said,
"Those monster assassins obviously came well prepared. They saw the right opportunity and sneaked in while the banquet was performing songs and dances. They came to assassinate me when none of the powerful members of my royal family were around. They were well prepared. It was inevitable. There is an internal response!
You immediately take people to investigate and find out who arranged for this team of dancers to come in. The assassin is dead, and the mastermind behind it must be found out! "
"I obey the order, I will do it immediately."
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry."
"I'm here."
In the crowd, the Minister of Industry stood up immediately.
"Arrange craftsmen to repair the palace as quickly as possible."
"According to the order."
The old emperor regained his composure, transformed into a resolute emperor again, and quickly issued orders one after another.
"By the way, Chai Yuan."
"I'm here."
Chai Yuan holds his hands.
"Did you just say that you have captured the assassin thief chief alive?"
"Back to your majesty, the thief chieftain was seriously injured. I have used Confucian runes to seal its power and let the two elders press it to the prison."
"Okay, good job. Let Lu Bing be taken to prison for interrogation."
The Tianlao is different from the dungeon. The Tianlao is a prison directly under the capital. Generally, only princes and ministers who have made mistakes are eligible to be imprisoned, and sometimes they are released and become officials again.
Therefore, there are generally no lynchings in the Sky Prison, and the environment is relatively good. After all, people don’t know when they will be released, and the commanders of the Sky Prison are not willing to offend others. Maybe if you beat someone today, they will become your immediate boss tomorrow. , are you still hanging around?
Dungeons, on the other hand, are prisons under local jurisdiction, and they are also found in the capital. They imprison ordinary criminals, focusing on lynching, which is extremely harsh.
But these two are nothing compared to the imperial edict.
The imperial prison is called a hell on earth, and it is difficult for those who enter it to come out alive. People who are not extremely evil or loyal will not be able to enter the imperial prison. It is usually filled with political prisoners and death row prisoners.
Moreover, every commander is a close confidant of the emperor, and they are not afraid of offending anyone. Anyway, the commander of the Imperial Guard is a solitary minister, and his job is to offend others, so he should be afraid of others.
The emperor asked the ministers to retreat and go home to rest. Because they were all frightened, and tomorrow was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the court meeting was changed to noon.
Well, I was supposed to have a day off tomorrow. 33
But the emperor was in a bad mood.
The emperor has been assassinated, are you still in the mood to take a vacation?
Wang Fugui and Nian An got on the carriage, and Eunuch Cao rode outside, walking all the way towards Prince Hao's Mansion.
Originally, Eunuch Cao would ride in a carriage when he went out on orders to do errands, but this time his mission was to escort the Sixth Prince, so he had to follow on horseback.
After arriving at Prince Hao's Mansion, everyone got off their horses and dismounted.
Wang Fugui held his hands and said,
"Eunuch Cao, thank you for your hard work. Come in and have a cup of tea."
"I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness, but I have to go back to serve the Emperor, so I won't go in."
Eunuch Cao thought he was just being polite, so he declined.
However, Wang Fugui took Eunuch Cao's hand and enthusiastically pulled him into the hall and asked the maid to serve tea.
Nian'an went to the back room and returned.
Wang Fugui and Eunuch Cao were drinking tea and chatting. Eunuch Cao couldn't figure out what this guy meant, so he laughed awkwardly and said,
"Your Highness, when the assassin assassinated you earlier, I was worried about your majesty's safety. I was very offended by what I said to you. I hope you will forgive me."
Of course he was talking about Wang Fugui going to protect the emperor and him telling him off.
Wang Fugui laughed and said,
"My father-in-law is also worried about my father. I understand. I was also anxious at the time, and I was a little rude when I spoke to my father-in-law. It's okay that my father-in-law doesn't take offense."
Wang Fugui had no airs of being a prince and gave Eunuch Cao the opportunity to step down.
"That's right, it's all for Your Majesty."
"Yes, speaking of it, my father-in-law and I can be regarded as comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."
"Oh, our family can't afford it. The sixth prince is still very powerful in martial arts. His Highness has a distinguished status. It is really not easy for him to find time to practice martial arts in his busy schedule."
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I know about Eunuch Cao's guild martial arts. I didn't expect you to be so strong. You defeated all those fox assassins one by one, so I became the one to do it."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Wang Fugui reached out and Nian An took out a notebook and put it into his hand. Then he put the notebook on the table, pushed it to Eunuch Cao, and said,
"I didn't know that my father-in-law also practiced martial arts before, so I didn't have anything to give as a gift. Now that I know it, my father-in-law must accept it."
"How can this happen? How can I ask for His Highness's martial arts secret book?"
Although Eunuch Cao said this, he couldn't help but glance at the book.
"Eunuch, this secret book is not ordinary. It is a heaven-level martial arts skill, created by Palace Master Han himself."
"Palace Master Han?!"
Eunuch Cao was shocked. Who in the world didn't know how powerful Hall Master Han was? His reputation as the best master in the world was well-deserved. His brilliant performance in the martial arts conference had already spread throughout the world.
Eunuch Cao also knew that Palace Master Han’s martial arts skills were hard to find.
"This is even more unreasonable. This old slave cannot accept the treasure given to you by Palace Master Han."
Hearing this, Wang Fugui pretended to be helpless and pushed the notebook forward again.
"Well, look at the first page first."
"That's...ok."
Eunuch Cao turned over the first page and was stunned when he saw the eight characters "If you want to practice this skill, you must first leave the palace".
"Humph, this Han Yun, I asked him for a heaven-level martial arts skill, but he really cheated me. Can I practice this thing? If I secede from the palace, I can't spread branches and leaves for the royal family, and my father has to kill me. me.
This Han Yun is just teasing me on purpose. "
Wang Fugui looked furious.
Eunuch Cao chuckled,
"This Palace Master Han must be a bit too bad."
"So, I can't practice this martial arts, and only you, father-in-law, can practice it. Don't worry, the martial arts is real, and he, Palace Master Han, won't give up the fake ones."
"this……"
Eunuch Cao looked at the heaven-level martial arts in front of him, eager for it but afraid to ask for it.
The desire is because he is just a father-in-law. Even if he is the emperor's personal eunuch, he is still a slave. It is difficult to come into contact with heaven-level martial arts on weekdays, and he does not have much time to practice. In addition, he has flaws and many martial arts skills are not available. Dharma practice.
Now that there was a heaven-level martial arts created just for him, how could he not be tempted.
The reason why I dare not ask for it is because this gift is too expensive, and accepting bribes is a serious crime. It’s okay if my godsons, who are also eunuchs, show some filial piety. It’s okay if other officials give some when they go out to do things, but heaven-level martial arts are different. Ah, and the one who gave the gift was the prince.
Some people died, but not completely...
