Chapter 286

On the night that Zuo Idiot left the palace, in the dead of night, two hurried figures appeared in the palace.

I heard one of them whisper in a slightly shrill voice:

"Lord Liu, it's so late, do you still want to enter the palace?"

The little eunuch carried a small lantern and led Liu Heng, a soldier who entered the palace late at night to see Emperor Zhengcang, on the stone road, and accosted him while leading the way.

Although Liu Heng is now not confused, but he has been a squire of this military department for more than ten years, although Liu Heng was born in a general, he is a big family, but he is kind and does not have the bad character of a family, at this time he is also gentle, but he said to the little eunuch with a little eagerness:

"It's really urgent, I have to face the saint in person, I don't know it's so late, but I disturbed the rest of the saint?"

The little eunuch smiled and said:

"Where did Lord Liu say, it was also a coincidence that Lord Liu was in a hurry, the emperor somehow slept late today, no, as soon as the emperor heard that Lord Liu was coming, he should even call the villain to lead the adult forward."

Liu Heng nodded, then couldn't help but raise his head to look at the surrounding scenery, and said:

"Little father-in-law, this ...... It's not the way to the Holy Sleeping Palace, is it? ”

Hearing this, the little eunuch also raised his head and glanced around, and said:

"That's right, the emperor is very dull today, he has been staying in the imperial study and never left, don't blame the villain for talking too much, Lord Liu will enter the imperial study at that time, but you have to have a heart."

Liu Heng said gratefully:

"Thank you father-in-law for the point."

When the little eunuch saw that he had arrived at the place, he stopped talking. asked Liu Heng to wait at the foot of the steps of the imperial study, and he stepped forward to the door of the imperial study and knocked lightly. Gong Sheng says:

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu from the Ministry of War is here."

"Come in." Immediately, I heard the voice of Emperor Zhengcang who seemed to be a little tired.

The little eunuch responded with a 'yes' when he heard the voice, stood outside the door and turned his eyes around again, before he quickly walked to Liu Heng's side and said:

"Lord Liu, the emperor let you in."

Liu Heng nodded. Hurriedly walked to the imperial study.

But before he walked up the steps, he heard the little eunuch whisper beside him:

"The emperor seems to be a little tired, and Lord Liu must stay for a long time."

Liu Heng listened. He thanked him, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and he had read the book in his sleeve first. Such an extraordinary emergency. Where can I make it clear in one sentence or two?

"Hey......"

Liu Heng stood in front of the door of the emperor's imperial study and paused slightly, sighed uncontrollably at the door, and finally pushed the door open and walked in.

"Lord Liu is here."

Emperor Zhengcang raised his eyes slightly when he heard the sound and looked at Liu Heng, and then lowered his head again, but he raised his hand and gently rubbed his brows, obviously a little tired.

Liu Heng raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he saw that Emperor Zhengcang was a little tired at this time, as the little eunuch said, and he thought in his heart that he would definitely thank the little eunuch after this time. While kneeling down and respectfully said:

"Weichen Liu Heng, I have seen the emperor. It was so late that it disturbed the emperor's rest. Please forgive me. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang removed his hand that was rubbing his brows, put it on the table, looked at Liu Heng and said:

"Get up. I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Liu to enter the palace late at night? ”

"Weichen, there is indeed something important to face the saint, otherwise, how could Weichen enter the palace so late at night to ask for a meeting?" Liu Heng got up and said.

Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help frowning again when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:

"What's the matter? But what does it have to do with the northern front? ”

These days, Emperor Zhengcang is most worried about the northern front, the 70,000 troops of Huiqiang have to make the Manchu Dynasty pay attention, and Liu Heng is the squire of the military department, Emperor Zhengcang's first thought at this time is that something happened to the northern front.

Sure enough, seeing that Liu Heng hurriedly took out the urgent music in the army in his sleeve, presented it to Emperor Zhengcang's table, took a step back and said:

"The emperor is wise, it is indeed a matter of the northern front, specifically, please ask the emperor to read this report first."

Although Emperor Zhengcang was a little puzzled when he heard this, he still reached out and picked up the newspaper and opened it, but after reading it, his expression changed, and he actually stood up directly, and his tone was even more unbelievable, and said:

"What, you've already fought with Hui Qiang!? Zuo Yuanfeng turned out to be ...... Defeated?!! ”

Liu Heng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw Emperor Zhengcang at this time, and said in his heart that when he saw this report again, he was as shocked as Emperor Zhengcang, and even more surprised than Emperor Zhengcang at this time.

He has been in the military department for so many years, and he has always lived a stable life, so why not thanks to the blessing of Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of Zhenguo? If it weren't for Zuo Yuanfeng, there would have been no war for so many years, where would he be able to live so comfortably?

Who is Zuo Yuanfeng? That is the invincible general of Zhenguo, and in his hands he holds the most powerful Southwest Iron Cavalry in the entire Xining Dynasty, how can he fight with Huiqiang for the first time, and he will be defeated? !

"What's going on? How is this possible? Emperor Zhengcang had already sat down at this time, but he still looked at the content written on the newspaper repeatedly, but it was hard to believe that this report was not good news?

Liu Heng calmed down a little when he heard this, and said:

What the emperor said was extremely true, and Weichen also felt that this matter was very strange, although there were now Huiqiang stationed in the north with 70,000 troops from the country, but he never saw any action. What's more, it is General Zuo who is guarding the northern border now, according to common sense, it should be more safe to act in Huiqiang, how can it be at this time, it is to fight with General Zuo? ”

Liu Heng saw that Emperor Zhengcang still looked at the report without speaking, so he continued:

"Your Majesty, you can see the date that this report arrived in the hands of Weichen four days ago, but what this report says is limited, and the reasons for it are not explained.

Liu Heng has been sitting in the military department for so many years, and it is not without reason. Needless to say, Liu Heng got along harmoniously with the major generals, and this alert and delicate mind alone was incomparable to others.

Of course, Emperor Zhengcang also understood what Liu Heng meant, and immediately said:

"What's the deal?"

Liu Heng took out a letter from the other cuff, presented it and said:

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the back hand."

After Emperor Zhengcang took the letterhead, Liu Heng continued:

"Your Majesty, as Weichen expected, only two days later, that is, yesterday, someone handed over this handwritten letter from General Zuo to Weichen."

Yesterday?

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang did not open the letterhead in his hand in a hurry, but pondered for a while, suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Heng, and asked out loud:

"That person, but Zuo idiot?"

For no reason, Emperor Zhengcang thought of Zuo Idiot.

What Zuo Idiot said today, it clearly pointed out that whether it is in the palace or outside the palace, there are meticulous works.

If you want to say who Zuo Yuanfeng believes in the most, it must be his proudest son, Zuo Idiot.

Come to think of it, there must be other ways of secret contact between their father and son.

Sure enough, Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and said suspiciously:

"How did the emperor know that person was Lord Xiaozuo?" (To be continued.) )
