The old man issued a hasty edict, all the senior officials from the second grade or above no one dared to ignore it, it was only less than half an hour, the palace was already crowded with people, nearly sixty courtiers who were qualified to participate in the deliberations were divided into several small groups, and were exchanging wire reports in a low voice, it is obvious that those who can become the best high-ranking officials are all deaf and clear-sighted masters, although they have never been to the scene of Xiaoskewer Hutong, but one by one has already obtained accurate wire reports, what is not clear is just what the old man has attitude, and this, It was the focus of everyone's discussion, although it was only whispering, but when there were many people, the sound itself seemed extremely noisy, buzzing, like a swarm of flies in a meeting.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The courtiers were discussing themselves, and a shrill voice suddenly sounded in the cold apse, and the courtiers hurriedly took their places, quickly lined up in line, and focused their eyes on the junction of the front and rear halls.

"Erchen (ministers) knock to see Huang Ama (Your Majesty)!"

The sound of shouting did not subside, and I saw that the old man had already gone out of the apse first, followed by a dejected sixteenth elder brother, and the courtiers saw this, and they couldn't help but be stunned, but no one dared to lose their manners at this time, and they all knelt on the ground, and they all bowed together.

"Excuse me."

The old man ignored the courtesy of the courtiers, walked to the dragon couch in the middle with a gloomy face, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, looked around at the courtiers kneeling all over the place, and called out in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing that the old man's voice was wrong, the courtiers couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, but the mood was different, some were happy and some were sad, but no matter what kind of mood they had, no one dared to be rude, so they could only thank them according to the rules of the court.

"Toheqi!"

The ministers had just fallen into their respective positions, and the old man was already frowning impatiently, and he broke off his throat with a cold voice.

"Wechen is here!"

Tuo Heqi obviously expected that the old man would call his name, but he was not afraid at all, but because of this raid on the small string alley is the will of all the elder brothers, he Tuo Heqi is just acting on orders, thinking that with the support of all the elder brothers, Tuo Heqi is really not afraid that the old sixteen's royal petition can win, this high-spirited ranking, self-confidence is already overflowing.

"Tell me what's going on in Xiaokeanzi Hutong, huh?"

Although Qin Wuyong had been sent to understand the truth, and there was also the accusation of the old sixteen, the old man still did not take Tuo Heqi as soon as he came up, but gave him a chance to defend himself.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, a few days ago there were several small-scale arms fights in Xicheng, suspected to be caused by the gangs in the rivers and lakes, the last general thanks to His Majesty's love, to be in charge of the nine gates, since he did not dare to have the grace of the saint, has ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, this morning to get a reliable report, it is known that the main culprit of the weapon fight in the past few days is hidden in the small string alley, the situation is urgent, the last general is afraid of going to the suspect, had to quickly transfer troops to round up, is in the search, but did not expect the sixteenth elder brother to lead people to break through, so that the round-up was abandoned halfway, the last general said everything is true, please Your Majesty to make it clear!"

Tuo Heqi is a self-confessed saint, and secondly, he also relies on the support of the prince and the eighth master and other brothers, although he heard that the old man's tone was a little unkind, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and still according to the strategy discussed with the prince in advance, he replied to the old man's question very toughly.

"Reliable tip-offs? Tell me, where did this newspaper come from, and who gave it, eh? ”

The reason why the old man mentioned Tuoheqi to such an important position as the commander of the Nine Gates a few years ago was his loyalty, but he never expected that as soon as Tuoheqi took office, he would have a hot fight with the prince, which was a deep violation of the old man's taboo, the reason why he was not in a hurry to take it down, firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, it was not ordinary to paralyze the prince's intentions, but this time Tuoheqi actually mobilized the army without asking for an order, which has made the old man deeply vigilant, and he is ready to take this opportunity to take this fang, but, After all, the old man was not a mediocre person, although he was already in a hurry, but nodded quietly, and continued to ask in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, this report is dedicated by Qi Wuming, the general who led his troops to suppress the thieves, and there are a large number of witnesses to support it, and it is because of this that the last general agreed to lead his troops to suppress."

If it comes to martial arts, especially the ability to ride and shoot on horses, Tuo Heqi is indeed a good hand, but when it comes to nature, he is actually just a fool, and becoming the commander of the Nine Gates is just a meeting due to fate, when it comes to political vision, in fact, it is really bad to the extreme, otherwise, it will not be mixed with the prince, this is about to die, he still has no consciousness at all, and talks freely, as if he really holds the truth, but he doesn't see the eyes of the eight masters and others on both sides showing a look of disdain.

"Go, Xuanqi Wuming will meet you!"

Seeing that Tuo Heqi was acting blindly there, the old man's face was a little unpleasant, but he still endured it and didn't have a seizure, but waved his hand and ordered without being salty.

"Wow!"

As soon as the old man's golden mouth opened, Qin Wuyong, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly answered, and hurried out of the hall.

"The last general, Qi Wuming, knocks to see Your Majesty!"

Qi Wuming's mental state is extremely poor, and there is nothing to do, just because he knows very well that he is planted this time, although he has the news from the eighth master's end, but no matter what, when there is such a big movement, he Qi Wuming is sad about the current catastrophe, the best situation is afraid that he will be sent out of the Beijing Division, as for whether he will be assigned to the border pass, it is still undecided, but anyway, with the death order of the eighth master, even if the end is miserable, Qi Wuming can only endure it, this time I saw the old man sitting on the top, Qi Wuming's salutation was not slow, but his spirit couldn't be lifted up, and after he fell to the ground, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Qi Wuming, Tuo Heqi said that this case was reported by Er, and it was also sponsored by Er himself, but is there such a thing?"

As soon as he saw Qi Wuming's decadent appearance, the old man was very happy, but he didn't have a seizure, but just asked with a gloomy face.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the last general really doesn't know why Lord Tuo said this, the last general just took the order of Lord Tuo to go to thoroughly investigate the small skewer alley, and the rest of the things are really not known by the last general."

The matter of Xiaoskeong Hutong is really Qi Wumingtou to Tuo Heqi, in order to unite the prince and pit the third master and his son, for this reason, the dark forces at the end of the eighth master have attacked with all their might, and also won a few circumstantial evidence, just for fear of scaring the snake, and did not shoot at the main characters of the "Sharp Knife Gang", of course, even if the eighth master wants to make a move, it is difficult, not for anything else, just because most of the main force of the "Sharp Knife Gang" has been transferred away by Hongqing, and the remaining important people have already been transferred away before Hongqing left Beijing. Today's small skewer alley is actually just an empty shell, but it is maintained by Chen Size, the chief scoop handle, and it looks like the headquarters of the "Sharp Knife Gang", all this, Qi Wuming was originally unclear, but after the failure of this raid, he already guessed that he was afraid that he was against the ambush on the other side of Hongqing, and he had the intention of retreating, and he got the news from the eighth master, Qi Wuming's sense of shirking responsibility was stronger, and he heard the old man ask at this time, When even unceremoniously put all the blame on Tuoheqi.

"Buzz ......"

Most of the ministers didn't know what was going on in Xiaokuanzi Hutong, but they knew that the old ****** was making trouble at the scene of the arrest, and they had vaguely guessed that Xiaoskeanzi Hutong must be related to the third master.

"Bold Qi Wuming, Er An dares to open the river, this will be ......"

Not only did the ministers not expect such a change, but Tuo Heqi was even more dizzy by Qi Wuming's words, and finally woke up, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and scolded.

"Presumptuous!"

Before Tuo Heqi broke out completely, the old man, who was already unbearable, suddenly slapped the dragon case, and angrily broke off his throat.

"Your Majesty is angry, the last general is rude, it's really Qi Wuming's bloody mouth, the last general can't bear it, this is ......"

Seeing that the old man was angry, Tuo Heqi didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and wailed with a grievance on his face.

"Hmph, I don't want to listen to Er's quibbles, Er said that Xiaokeanzi Hutong is a hiding place for bandits, and where are the bandits now, huh?"

Since the old man was determined to take this opportunity to uproot Tuo Heqi, how could he pay attention to his justification, and before Tuo Heqi finished speaking, the old man waved his hand impatiently, and asked in a very quiet voice.

"The last general, the last general......"

I have to say that Tuoheqi's political wisdom is really terrible, and things have developed to such a state that he really came to his senses, and he didn't know what to say, but he just blindly glanced at the prince who was sitting on pins and needles with a complaining gaze for help, and hoped that the prince could stand up at this time to ease his cheeks.

"Emperor Ama Mingjian, the ministers think that there is something strange about this matter, and it must be thoroughly investigated."

The prince is actually a very smart person, at this time, how can he not see that the limelight is wrong, but he really does not have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, in fact, he can't afford to break it, just because Tuo Heqi is now his most useful solid support, even if he knows that standing up at this time will anger the old man, but he can't care much about it, so he stood up, turned around, bowed deeply to the old man, and euphemistically admonished.
