Chapter 141: Embarrassment

What happened later greatly surprised Wang Bao'er. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Wanrong saw him, and instead of mentioning the troubles between him and Cailuan, she picked up some old words about how the master and servant shared weal and helped each other when they were in Ning Xiangxuan in the East Palace in the past. Wang Bao'er is not stupid, and as soon as she stabilized her mind from the embarrassment, she understood that she was calculated by Wanrong and Ying'er's design this time.

As a eunuch who followed the emperor all day long, Wang Bao'er naturally knew the situation of the two concubines in the palace. In order to consolidate her favor, Wanrong even dedicated the cherry blossoms around her to the emperor, and even so, she lost the upper hand in the secret competition with Jing Xuan. Although Lu Guangting, whom she supported with all her might, was promoted by the emperor to the deputy eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, she also set up an enemy for herself - Shang Jing. Gu Xichao, the eldest brother he had never met, was transferred back to Chang'an by his godfather and filled the position of the eunuch in charge of Yaohua Palace, who had been vacant for many days.

Regarding the open and secret battles between the concubines in the harem, since Wang Bao'er has become a person around the emperor, the wisest choice is naturally to turn a blind eye and not participate. However, now, Wanrong and Ying'er actually used the trick to arrest him and force him to submit to invite him on the boat, and in turn to deal with Jing Xuan and his godfather, even if Wang Bao'er was reluctant in his heart, he had to agree. After all, he is not so stupid as to offend the emperor's favorite concubine with his own humble body.

Early this morning, Wang Bao'er received a piece of music forwarded by the Ministry of War, and he caught a glimpse of a few eye-catching big characters written on the outer cover: Captain Guoyi came to Xing'er to privately set up a rebellion Li Shushi, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, hurriedly rubbed his eyes, carefully read the title of that line again, and then excitedly held the chapter tightly in his hand, thinking about whether to open it first to see what was written inside. But then he dispelled this idea again: privately arranging the head of the rebellion, not to mention the status of the sixth lieutenant of Xing'er, even if the general who commanded the three armies committed this crime, the military envoy could be cut first and then played, instead of having to be transferred from the military department to the chapter as now. Since Lai Xing'er committed the felony of arson, the commander in front handed him over to the military department for punishment, and there must be something strange in it. Although he has the right to open and read the chapter, but in this way, he needs to tell the emperor the details of the chapter, rather than this, it is better to directly present this piece to the emperor as it is.

With this in mind, Wang Bao'er stood in front of the Yanying Hall with great expectations, waiting for the emperor to arrive. It is good to be the inner privy envoy of the seventh grade, but at the same time, he also lost the opportunity to accompany the emperor all day, even the emperor stayed in the palace of the concubine last night, Wang Bao'er didn't know, thinking of this, his heart was flooded with a ripple of amazement.

Until three o'clock in the morning, the emperor came to the Yanying Hall accompanied by Shang Jing, the provincial supervisor of the inner chamberlain. According to the emperor's new rules, at this time, Wang Bao'er needs to classify the various pieces of music received from last night to this morning, prioritize them, and present them to the emperor one by one.

In addition to the piece about Lai Xing'er, Wang Bao'er also held two urgent military reports in his hand: one was about Tuyuhun and the Turks preparing to send out large armies to invade Western Xinjiang immediately after Tubo; The other is Fu Yi sent back from leading the army to the north, the content is mainly that the current rebels are frustrated again and again, it is a good time to put down the rebellion, he has not time to meet with the generalissimo, the king of peace Li Qizhao, that is, to lead the army to the north, wanting to take advantage of the victory in Hezhong and Puzhou, to kill the remnants of the enemy, in order to completely eliminate His Majesty's worries. Helplessly, the army ran alone, and the grain was unsustainable, so he asked the court to send the grain quickly to help him break the enemy.

However, Wang Bao'er ignored the two emergency military reports, and the first one submitted this piece of music about Lai Xing'er.

The emperor didn't seem to immediately enter the state of taking care of government affairs, took the chapter, glanced at the reasons listed on the outer cover, looked up at Wang Bao'er, didn't speak, but handed the chapter to Shang Jing beside him, and said softly: "Read it and listen to it." ā€

This should have been handed over to the envoy himself, but the emperor gave it to Shang Jing, and Wang Bao'er was nervous in his heart. Before he could come to his senses, he heard Shang Jing open the piece and read it word by word.

It turned out that this was just a piece of music drafted by the generalissimo and the king of Mu, Li Qi, who was forwarded by the Ministry of War, which listed in detail the situation in which a sergeant told Captain Lai Xing'er to arrest the rebel leader Li Shu first and then release him, and expressed his attitude towards this matter in the last paragraph: The sergeant accused Xing'er of arsoning with the enemy, although it was not for no reason, but it was difficult to verify and implement it for a while, and the situation of the former enemy was ever-changing, and it was not allowed to investigate the matter in detail, so he sent someone to escort Xing'er back to Chang'an, and it was recommended that it be handed over to Dali Temple for questioning and understanding, and then dealt with according to the situation.

After hearing this, the emperor didn't see any expression on his face, and only asked Shang Jing lightly: "In your opinion, is it possible for this Xing'er to indulge Li Shu privately?" ā€

Shang Jing had previously suspected that there was a close relationship between Lai Xing'er and Na Yu, and if Emperor Cheng asked a few days ago, he would probably unreservedly explain his suspicions to the emperor, so as to explain that Lai Xing'er's private connivance with Li Shu was mostly true, and it was not as Li Qizuozhang said, which was difficult to verify and implement. However, in just a few days, because the emperor promoted the official rank of Lu Guangting, he invisibly set up a strong competitor for Shang Jing, forcing Shang Jing to take the initiative to join Jingxuan in order to protect himself, so that Shang Jing could not be careful about the matter of arson with the enemy in Lai Xing'er. Not to mention that Lai Xing'er has always been appreciated and cared for by Jing Xuan, and now he has become Jinping's future husband, so from the position of the newly formed harem party, even if Shang Jing thinks that Lai Xing'er is most likely true in his heart, it is inconvenient to show it in front of the emperor.

"Holy Lord, the minister is in the palace, and he doesn't know much about the former enemy. Since His Royal Highness King Mu suggested that he be handed over to Dali Temple for inquiry, the Holy One might as well follow it. ā€

"Well, we'll talk about that later. Wang Bao'er, what else do I have to decide? The emperor still did not show his attitude, and instead asked Wang Bao'er.

Wang Bao'er hurriedly submitted the two emergency military reports in his hand, and without waiting for the emperor's orders, he took the initiative to introduce the main contents of the two military reports.

"Has there been no news from the envoys sent to the Uighurs? Would the Uighurs be willing to send troops to help the imperial court contain the Tuyuhun and the Turks, so as to buy some time for us to move our army westward? "When the former emperor Yu Lingwu ascended the throne and raised troops to quell the rebellion, among the states in the Western Regions, only the Uighurs were friendly with the Chang'an court, and had sent 3,000 troops to help.

"This ......" Shang Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head in disappointment to the emperor. (To be continued.) )
