The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 77

[Chapter 77 Emperor Chu is furious]

Yangxin Palace, Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu frowned slightly as he looked at the memorial in front of him.

This memorial was presented by Sun Teng, the general of the Yulin Guards, You Zhonglang, and its content was to impeach Fang Xiu, the general of the Zuo Zhonglang.

He was accused of having his corpse eaten without food. He served for half a month and just stayed in the camp to sleep all day long. He didn’t even bother with the soldiers’ drills.

Generally speaking, this kind of matter would not reach the hands of the Emperor of Chu. After the cabinet has seen it, it can make the decision.

But Fang Xiu was the first in the review, ordered by His Majesty, and the only legitimate son of General An Pingbo of Dingyuan.

This matter is not that simple. If His Majesty had not spoken, no one would have been able to make the decision.

Emperor Chu looked at the memorial and couldn’t help but sigh.

At that time, Fang Xiu offered the strategy of Anguo, so he was particularly gracious and appointed him as General Zuo Zhonglang of the Yulin Guard.

But after that, both among the people and the court, there was quite a bit of criticism about this appointment.

That’s probably what I said.

Chu Huangquan pretended not to see it, but hoped that this young man with the talent of a king could surprise him.

Half a month has passed, and there are no surprises, but quite a few shocks.

The imperial doctor he sent was hung up, beaten and pricked with silver needles.

Now, his deputy has written an impeachment petition.

If you continue to turn a blind eye, it will inevitably fall into people’s mouths, and there will definitely be dissatisfaction among the officials.

By then, it may be too late to make amends.

Although he was very optimistic about Fang Xiu, Emperor Chu was helpless. He waved his hand and ordered the attendant next to him: “I ordered someone to go to the Yulin Guards to convey the order and ask General Zuo Zhonglang Fang Xiu to come and see me.”

The attendant immediately bowed and saluted. He said: “Yes, Your Majesty.”

After saying that, he left the Nuan Pavilion.

After he left, Emperor Chu was the only one left in Nuan Pavilion.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes looking tired.

Just after the memorial was announced in the southwest, there was a chieftain rebellion. The local vassal town sent a heavy army of 5,000 to encircle and suppress 500 rebels, but without success.

Not only was there no success, more than 200 people were killed, which was really a shame and a great humiliation!

The general held a thorn to plead guilty and was dismissed from his official position, but he still couldn’t understand the anger in his heart.

I think back then, Taizu spent his whole life as a soldier, and that was how the great Chu world came into being.

But now, after just over a hundred years, his children and grandchildren are unable to quell even a small chieftain rebellion.

Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel guilty.

I really feel sorry for my ancestors.

At this time, a figure walked in from outside. Without saying a word, he prostrated himself on the ground and bowed respectfully.

The movements were natural, as if they had become a habit.

This person is none other than Liu Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.

Liu Cheng lowered his head and said in a gentle voice, “I have something important to report to Your Majesty.”

Emperor Chu raised his eyes, glanced at him, then returned his gaze to the memorial, and said calmly: “Speak.”

Liu Cheng followed. He took out the previous letter from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said: “My subordinate, a young eunuch named Zhang Sheng, was sent a letter while he was sleeping, saying that he would submit it to His Majesty. I

will look at the letter above .

There are four words written on it, “Policy for Anguo”. I dare not neglect it and come to see His Majesty immediately. “

Letter? “

Emperor Chu was startled for a moment, then showed an angry look on his face, slammed the table, and said: “I allow people to come and go at will in my palace. Today I just sent you a letter. What if you send me swords in the future? What will I do?

” Could it be that all the pro-army troops guarding the palace are all bastards, unable to stop even a small letter? “

When Liu Cheng came, he was already prepared to face the wrath of Emperor Chu, so he just fell to the ground and trembled. The voice said: “This slave will die forever.”

Immediately afterwards, there was silence.

Emperor Chu looked at the letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and said: “It’s also the pro-jun’s fault if it’s wrong. What have you got to do with submitting the letter? I want to see who is so bold!”

Liu Cheng subconsciously said He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and handed over the letter.

At the same time, he stood behind Emperor Chu and reminded in a low voice: “Your Majesty, this letter is anonymous.”

Emperor Chu’s face was gloomy and he didn’t say anything. He just opened the letter and glanced at it roughly.

At first, there was no expression on his face.

After a while, when he saw a certain place, his expression changed rapidly.

His eyes gradually became darker and his face became more gloomy.

After reading it carefully, Emperor Chu couldn’t help but get angry. He picked up the teacup on the table, threw it to the ground, and said sternly: “Damn it!”

After decades of following Emperor Chu, this was Liu Cheng’s first time. I see His Majesty being so out of sorts.

In the past, even if His Majesty was angry, at most he would only show a little anger on his face and curse a few words in person.

Like today, even the tea cup was smashed to pieces, never before!

As if realizing something, Liu Cheng banged and knelt down on the ground, his body shivering like chaff, he kowtowed heavily and said in a trembling voice: “This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die.”

Emperor Chu looked at Liu Cheng who was kneeling at his feet, and the anger in his heart did not diminish at all. He said angrily: “What does this matter have to do with you? Why are you so eager to admit your mistake when you don’t know anything?

You people, in front of me, In front of him, he would kneel down and kowtow, shouting “Death to death”, and then turn around and behave in another way. Do you think I don’t know this?” When

Liu Cheng heard this, his body trembled even more, and he wanted to speak. He defended himself, opened his mouth, but still didn’t say a word.

Your Majesty is furious now. No matter what you say or do, you can only suffer.

In any case, judging from the meaning of His Majesty’s words, the reason for his anger was only because of the content of the letter and had nothing to do with the fact that he submitted the letter.

Emperor Chu scolded him, then turned his head and looked at the secret letter on the case again.

His eyes were as gloomy as water.

I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Cheng felt that his legs were numb.

Only then did Emperor Chu’s deep voice ring out in the Nuan Pavilion: “It is said that the Cabinet Scholars Yan Zhuang, Yang Zhe, and Ouyang Hua, the Minister of War Ma Wenhua, and the Yu Linwei General Tian An.”

Liu Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this series of names and felt in his heart It set off a stormy sea.

The Grand Scholar of the Cabinet, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and General Yu Linwei are all important ministers among the important officials of the imperial court.

At the same time, it was said that they came to the palace to meet the saint, it must be because something big happened.

Combined with His Majesty’s reaction after reading the letter before, it is almost certain that this matter has something to do with the letter he submitted!

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng couldn’t help but perked up.

Your decision is not wrong!

Even though he was scolded, he was very happy in his heart.

Because he knew that when Emperor Chu scolded him, he was just angry, not himself.

When His Majesty calmed down, he thought that he had taken a huge risk to submit this important letter.

You will definitely have more trust in yourself and use it more seriously.

Although it is said that the eunuch who is the chief eunuch is the pinnacle of eunuchs, who doesn’t want to gain more trust from His Majesty?

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng couldn’t help but reveal a happy look on his face, stood up hurriedly, and said respectfully: “Yes, Your Majesty!”
