Chapter 39: The Imperial Palace

In the Forbidden City, Taihe Gate, the little emperor Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, listening to the reports of the ministers on internal affairs, Cao Zhengchun bent down to wait aside, and the ministers below sat around.

"Your Majesty, now that Handong has been flooded for many years, it has to be treated, I don't know whether to dig the Yellow River embankment or not?"

"Your Majesty, the drought in the west is serious, do you want to open a warehouse to release grain?"

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and rubbed his head that was quite headache, the noise below was so serious that he couldn't interject at all.

Suddenly, the ministers below were silent, and a voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

The person who spoke, wearing a python robe, with five willow whiskers under his cheeks, his face was like a crown of jade, and his face was upright! When ordinary people see it, they can't help but sigh that this person is really loyal and courageous, righteous and righteous.

Zhu Houzhao saw him playing the report, and he didn't dare to be slack, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang, please speak!" ”

This person is Zhu Houzhao's imperial uncle, and it must be the iron god Hou Zhu who ignores it.

I only heard Zhu ignore and said: "The emperor is Mingjian, and the minister wants to participate in the Shangdong Factory Governor Cao Gonggong!" ”

"Oh, Uncle Huang said to hear it." Zhu Houzhao is very meaningful to listen to these two words, Zhu Wuzhi and Cao Zhengchun have been fighting for power and profit, he doesn't know, it's just that his strength is too weak to intervene, but the two tigers are fighting, and he did it intentionally, I only heard that Zhu ignored and wanted to refer to Cao Zhengchun's book, and this matter could only end without a problem.

Zhu ignored it and said: "The emperor is magnificent, listens to the heart of heaven, and lowers the people's feelings, and mentions Gonggong Cao as the supervisor of the East Factory, but Gonggong Cao neglects his duties and does not know the severity, just the night before, the prison in charge of the East Factory entered the depths of the thief, and released the famous big devil in the rivers and lakes undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong, this matter is very important!" ”

Zhu Houzhao thought it was something, but he didn't expect that he just released a prisoner, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Huang's meritorious participation in the creation of Huahua is just a prisoner, you can catch it again, why is this so?" ”

Zhu ignored and frowned and said: "The emperor doesn't know, the depth of this demon's skill is not under me, thirty years ago, I made an appointment with him to duel in Tianchi, fought for three days and three nights, and won half a move by luck, and now, this demon is out of the prison, and there is no trace, how can it be so easy to catch?" ”

Zhu ignored this, but sighed, and said compassionately: "This demon behaves perversely, cruel and ferocious, not bound by etiquette and strong martial arts, thirty years ago, before the duel with the ministers, he killed a total of one hundred and seven people after the eight major sects and the four major heads of the criminal department after fighting on the shore of Taihu Lake. ”

Zhu Houzhao also frowned, he was still young, but he didn't expect that this undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong would have such power.

Cao Zhengchun saw that the emperor was pondering, afraid of being implicated, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has been conscientious and conscientious, and has never dared to slack off. It must be that the little cubs under his command are not doing their jobs well, and the old slave will definitely be punished when he goes back. ”

Only then did Zhu Houzhao remember that Cao Zhengchun had indeed accompanied him all night the night before, and he was so wrong, but he couldn't blame him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao thought about it and preached: "This time let the devil escape, Gonggong Cao is indeed at fault, but it is not big, in this way, I will send Gonggong Cao to find out this matter and see who has the courage to go to the prison to save people?" ”

"As for the arrest of the devil, there is still Uncle Lao Huang, and the credit for this is to be rewarded together after the undefeated naughty boy is caught."

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

"This ......"

The ministers looked at each other, and they all felt that the emperor's order was inappropriate, and Cao Gelding made a big mistake, but the emperor obviously avoided the important and light, and did not punish him at all.

"Obey the order!"

Zhu ignored and bowed down the same way, no one saw it, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a slight arc, this was the effect he wanted.

He never expected to be able to bring down Cao Zhengchun in the court, and mixing a copy was just to give the emperor some eye medicine.

"Phew, this Cao gelding is really a good life!"

After the court, the civil and military officials walked out of the Taihe Hall in batches, and as soon as they came out of the palace gate, someone snorted.

Another civil official beside him hurriedly pulled him and said: "Hey, Lord Yang, be quiet, Cao Gelding has been getting more and more excessive recently, arrogant and domineering, and brutalizing Zhongliang, don't let him hear it, otherwise, Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang will make a big move, and no one will be able to protect you." ”

Another person sighed and said, "Now the Iron Courage Divine Marquis of the Dragon Guardian Villa can compete with that gelding." ”

The more they talked about this topic, the more dangerous it became, and several people shook their heads and left.

Zhu Wuzhi smiled slightly, but in an instant, he became gloomy again.

What he said in the court before was not all false feelings, the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong was indeed missing, and he couldn't find out where he went?

If you want to say that the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong is out of the prison, who is most worried, it must be Zhu who ignores this old rival.

As soon as he returned to the Dragon Guarding Villa, Zhu ignored and called Shangguan Haitang, Weihai Yidao, Duan Tianya and other three secret agents.

"Check, mobilize all the relationships for me to check, and we must find out where the ancient three links are hidden? In addition, all strangers who have entered Beijing within these three months have to be checked by me, and I want to know everyone's family background information. ”

At the same time, in the palace, Zhu Houzhao called Cao Zhengchun to his side.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Cao Qing's family, since the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong is so powerful, do you think it is possible that he will be used by me?" ”

Cao Zhengchun thought for a while and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, ...... is this?" ”

"Shh Zhu Houzhao put his index finger in front of his mouth and gently shushed out.

"Who?"

Zhu Houzhao booed, he just signaled Cao Zhengchun to be careful about the wall and ears, but he didn't expect that there were really people.

I saw Cao Zhengchun holding his hands flat in front of his chest, and he also drew half a circle in the blink of an eye, and the strength in his hands was condensed.

"Bang!"

Cao Zhengchun pushed it out with a palm, only to hear a bang, and the door had been shattered by the violent force.

"Brush!"

In the door, the figure flashed, but disappeared in an instant.

"Protect the Emperor! Immediately lock down Ouchi, don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone out. ”

Cao Zhengchun snorted, and after calling many Ouchi guards, he ran the light body exercise and followed.

"If you dare to trespass on the palace, the Lord will let you die without a corpse!"

Outside the Taihe Palace, a figure turned down the corridor and jumped into the central square.

"Dangchang!"

"Dangchang!"

"Where to run?"

The sound of swords and armor scabbards clashing sounded all around, and the corridors and rooftops were already full of people.

Cao Zhengchun walked out of the hall with a smile, waved his hand, and waved away his subordinates who were about to make a move.

When Cao Zhengchun arrived, the figure also turned around, only to see that he wore a crown with high hair, a long shirt inside, a sword at his waist, and a white mink coat on his back, and a hood raised high, but it covered most of his face.

This person is none other than Lin Yizhi

Lin Yizhi was also surrounded by everyone at this time, but he seemed very calm, and he also walked in front of Cao Zhengchun in a leisurely stroll.

"What a boldness!" Cao Zhengchun smiled, no one dared to get so close to him for a long time.

Lin Yizhi said with a smile: "In this world, there are too few places I dare not go!" ”

Cao Zhengchun's eyes froze and said, "Oh! Then let's come to learn what you are capable of? ”

When the words fell, Yi Ran took the lead.

Lin Yizhi didn't fight him, there was no need for this, Cao Zhengchun attacked, but he only took a few steps back, but Cao Zhengchun's palm wind just stopped in front of him.

Lin Yizhi smiled and took out a flying knife from his arms, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Lord Cao is a Tiangang boy who has achieved great success, both offensive and defensive, and is extremely powerful, I don't know, can you take my knife?" ”
