The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 78

[Chapter 78 Corpse meal]

the Corpse Liu Cheng went down to deliver the order. In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Chu was the only one left

looking at the smashed teacup at his feet. The anger in his heart had not diminished at all. Sitting on the dragon chair, his body was trembling slightly with anger.

Even the most elite Yulin Guards in the pro-army had such major flaws in their armaments.

Not to mention the border lands far away in the southwest and northwest?

The imperial court allocates so much money every year to forge weapons and armor, but in the end it all falls into the hands of those maggots.

No

wonder five thousand elite soldiers couldn’t even defeat five hundred chieftains with no clothes on!

The more Emperor Chu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt that everything in front of him became abominable.

It wasn’t until a stick of incense passed that my mood calmed down a little.

He picked up the letter on the desk again and read it carefully.

When he saw the four words “Anguo Policy” prominently printed on the letter, he was slightly startled.

I always feel that this word is somewhat familiar.

As soon as this idea appeared, it was out of control.

Emperor Chu looked at the letter and racked his brains, wondering where he had seen this writing.

After thinking for a long time, I still had no clue.

After all, he was the emperor of Chu. Even though he was assisted by a cabinet bachelor, he needed to approve countless notes and read memorials every day.

There are so many civil and military officials with different handwritings. How can I remember them all?

Sighing, he put the letter aside and rubbed his brows. He was about to call the eunuch waiting outside to come in and deal with the broken pieces of the teacup when he suddenly saw the memorial on the case, which accused Yulin Wei Zuo Zhonglang of General Fang Xiu. The letter with the corpse in plain sight. A flash of inspiration came to

Fang Xiu’s plan to secure the country

. Emperor Chu’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: “Here comes someone.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch bowed and walked in, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Chu looked at He glanced at him and ordered: “Order someone to clean up this place.”

The young eunuch immediately said: “Yes.”

Emperor Chu said again: “Send someone to the Hanlin Academy to get the sealed papers for this review. “

Yes, Your Majesty.”

After a while, the young eunuch walked in with a pile of sealed papers. Just as he was about to kneel down and salute, Emperor Chu said: “There is no need to pay tribute. Put the papers here and you go out.” “Okay.”

The young eunuch responded hurriedly, placed the review papers on Emperor Chu’s desk, and left Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu took it upon himself to open the paper, and then searched for it one by one, and finally found the article that he had read over and over again not long ago.

It is exactly the same as the font on this letter!

The suspicion in his heart was confirmed, and an expression of extreme surprise appeared on Emperor Chu’s face.

It was Fang Xiu, the incompetent boy, who exposed this matter?

This news was a bit shocking

. Emperor Chu’s face was a little complicated. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

Just now, I had listened to the right-wing general named Sun Teng, thinking that this boy was a simpleton who didn’t do any serious work and was just sleeping around all day long.

But I didn’t expect that they would take such great risks to investigate and collect evidence behind my back, giving me a big surprise or, you could say, a shock!

Then, as if he thought of something, Emperor Chu’s face darkened again.

Throughout the dynasties, the mistakes made by emperors were particularly important, and he always kept them in mind and never reminded himself that he must not do this.

But in just one month, this kind of thing happened three times, and all were due to the same reason.

Emperor Chu couldn’t help but feel a little depressed, and made a decision secretly.

Next time, if someone impeaches the person again, he must first send Jin Wuwei to investigate carefully. If there are no problems, then deal with it.

Thinking of this, he looked at the impeachment memorial and felt inexplicably hateful.

A young talent who was willing to take risks and do practical things was slandered by his deputy as a scum of the world.

But it happened to be among the Yulin Guards again.

This couldn’t help but make him a little angry. After thinking

for a while, he passed on

the decree: “It is my decree that Sun Teng, the general of the Zuo Zhonglang of the Yulin Guards, has a plain meal. Because I am worried about it, I will remove the rank of the general of the Zuo Zhonglang and demote him to the rank of school captain.”

The bachelor who came back from Lin Wei was a little confused, but he still responded: “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Yu Lin Wei.

Sun Teng, the right middle man, sat at the head of the tent, with a smile on his face.

The captains also had happy faces. There was wine and meat on the desks in front of them, as if celebrating the New Year.

The bachelor who had just been studying came to the Yulin Guards to convey the order. He said that he was following His Majesty’s instructions and ordered General Zuo Zhonglang to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

A few days ago, they just jointly issued a memorial to impeach Fang Xiu.

Considering the time, it will be delivered to His Majesty almost today.

Not surprisingly, it was His Majesty who was so angry after reading the memorial that he ordered General Zuo Zhonglang to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Their new general, Zuo Zhonglang, might not get any good results this time. According to their estimation, he would at least be demoted to the rank of captain.

Although General Fang Zhonglang was not so harsh on them, he just slept in the camp all day long.

But they are all motivated people.

Even if a strict Shangguan is unpopular, at least there are ways to please him. In the future, he will be able to get closer to this close army.

A Shangguan who did nothing left them completely confused, not knowing whether to give gifts or flattery.

In this case, it would be better to drive him away and let General You Zhonglang, whom he is familiar with and has been loyal to for many years, take over.

In fact, this was just one of the reasons why they jointly impeached General Fang Zhonglang.

Another more important reason is that General Fang Zhonglang seems to be easy to bully. Even if he fails, he will only receive a few scoldings from His Majesty and there will be no actual loss.

If it succeeds, General Sun will be the new Zuo Zhonglang General, and they will naturally be able to follow the rising tide.

Therefore, there was an atmosphere of joy everywhere in this camp.

A lieutenant raised his glass and complimented: “General Sun is truly a man of both ability and political integrity. I have always believed that only generals are qualified to be the Zuo Zhonglang General of our Yulin Guard.

Today, Na Fang Xiu was summoned by His Majesty .”

He must have entered the palace because of His Majesty’s decree, knowing that his body was lying bare, and if he did not do anything practical, he would be severely punished.

After this incident, the post of General Zuo Zhonglang belongs to none other than General Sun. I would like to express my congratulations to the general in advance!”

After that, drink it all in one gulp.

Listening to the compliments of his lieutenant, Sun Teng’s vanity was greatly satisfied. He waved his hand and said nothing. He just raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

When the other captains saw this scene, they looked at each other, raised their glasses and started complimenting.

What he said over and over again was nothing more than those few sentences.

After a few glasses of wine went down his throat, Sun Teng felt that his face was getting hot and his head was a little dizzy, but he still responded with one glass after another and said vaguely: “This, if this general really becomes Zuo Zhonglang, I will definitely… We will definitely promote you!”

After hearing this, all the captains were delighted and were about to stand up and salute.

Suddenly a voice came from outside the tent: “I have come to convey the order. Where is Sun Teng, the right middle man of the Yulin Guard?”
