Chapter 240: Advice from the Imperial Court

The next day, the female official Zhu came to the East Palace to inform Haitang that she had met the emperor and asked him to go to the court to accept the matter of Wara's offering. The queen also knows about this, and Concubine Dao will also urge the emperor to go to court early tomorrow. Haitang immediately asked Chang Le to go out of the East Palace and informed the prince of the progress in the palace.

Yan Shiyi and Ling Xue, on the way back to King Kang's house, intercepted King Kang's sedan chair. He covered his head with a sack and dragged him to the alley and beat him. Yan Shiyi used Jinyiwei's beating method: on the surface, it was undamaged, but it hurt his muscles and bones inside.

Ling Xue smiled secretly in her heart when she saw it: Eleventh Master's trick is ruthless, King Kang not only can't go to court for the second time, but it would be good if he can go to court in the second month.

Chu Yi and Dark Qing sneaked into Pei Shiyan and Ye Jiquan's mansions respectively, and gave King Kang's father-in-law, one with itchy powder and the other with laxatives. This laxative is not just croton, but several laxatives such as croton, rhubarb, senna, and miscanthus are mixed together in proportion. There is no cure, and it has to be done overnight. I don't use itchy powder, the taste is still so sour.

The next day, Cao Baoli in the palace certainly didn't know this, but he suspected that it was the emperor who was persuaded by the queen to persuade Concubine Dao, and the emperor must go to the court to accept the picture of Wara. Afraid of fraud, he specially asked the chamberlain to take a look outside the palace, and Prince Ilgen was really outside, holding a scroll of pictures, waiting to listen to the announcement.

The thing is true, Cao Baoli relieved himself a little and helped the emperor to the main hall. Seeing the emperor sitting down on the dragon chair, everyone tacitly took a deep breath: success or failure, in one fell swoop!

"Qi to my father, my son inspected Henan after the year, and found two cases of official corruption, involving 1 million taels of gold and 5 million taels of silver. King Cheng was the first to bow down.

The emperor was a little angry when he heard this, and said: "Corruption is the most hateful, these people who have no royal law in their eyes should be dismissed and investigated!" King Cheng, I give you full authority to deal with it. ”

As soon as King Cheng retreated, Sun Yang, the imperial historian of Zuodu, said again: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the displaced people in Jingxiang has been quelled, and the resettlement of the displaced people on the spot has achieved results. It's just that the lowly officials secretly found that the resettlement relief funds allocated by the imperial court to the displaced people were deducted, and the displaced people could not feel the immense grace of the emperor, which caused the people's hearts to fluctuate. ”

"Even the relief for the displaced people has been tampered with? Check it out to me! Don't let it go! The emperor became even more angry when he heard this, and the good mood when he got up and went to court was gone.

Cao Baoli heard that something was wrong, and he couldn't turn the early dynasty into a grievance meeting. He hurriedly preached outside the main hall: "Ilgen, the prince of Xuanwara, has come to you!" ”

"Wait!" Sun Yanxi, the secretary of Dali Temple, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a matter to report, which is related to the dignity of the royal family, and it is not suitable for foreign princes to be present. ”

"Oh? Then let Ilgen wait, Sun Aiqing, please speak. "The emperor's anger has not subsided, and he doesn't want Irgen to come in now.

"Your Majesty, when Dali Temple was investigating the case, I inadvertently got a message that a minister was going to rebel. Weichen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for a secret visit, and sure enough, we found out that the minister's home actually hid a dragon robe and a dragon crown, and the rebellion was clearly revealed. Sun Yanxi said.

"Bold! There are such chaotic ministers and thieves! Is it when I don't exist anymore? "The emperor was so angry that he sat up straight, the rebels against the exiles had just been suppressed, and the capital had a rebellion against the ministers, they were really not good people, and they didn't let people concentrate on cultivation? The emperor pointed to Sun Yanxi below and said, "Don't let me take this house yet!" ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, two columns of Yulin guards came in from outside the palace, and they had just been together with Jingwei, and they unexpectedly subdued Jin Wuwei outside the order, and Jingwei also forcibly took over the guards of the palace.

Yan Shiyi's task today is to block all the Jinyi guards who want to enter the palace, as well as the fans of the East Factory and the West Factory.

Zhao Muzhe ordered: "Weichen is ordered to arrest the thief. Yu Linwei, on! I saw that Yu Linwei quickly subdued Cao Baoli, Tian Jun and Wu Dezhong next to the dragon chair. Wu Dezhong still wanted to resist, but he was mixed with the dark blue of Yulin Guard, and directly grabbed the pulse gate and pressed him to the ground.

The emperor was taken aback: "I told you to catch the thief, how did you arrest my inner courtiers?" They are all eunuchs, what is the use of the dragon chair that wants me? The emperor didn't believe it.

Sun Yanxi shouted outside the hall: "Lord Zuo, present the evidence!" Zuo Zhangquan entered the hall with a dragon robe and a dragon crown in his hand, and the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion and his wife were also escorted behind him.

Zuo Zhangquan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is the dragon robe and dragon crown that Weichen found in Lord Cao's mansion this morning, and the housekeeper of Cao's mansion and Mrs. Cao are all witnesses!" ”

The housekeeper and his wife entered the hall and couldn't stand on their feet, so they knelt down and bowed: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" This dragon robe was brought back by our master, and it has nothing to do with us! ”

The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, trembled his index finger, and pointed at Cao Baoli and said, "You...... You...... In vain, I won my trust, and I actually did a kind and rebellious thing! ”

Cao Baoli was covered in sweat, and when he looked down, he found that King Kang and Pei Shangshu were not there, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Weichen is loyal to the emperor, just playing for a while, and has no intention of rebelling!" Your Majesty, I, a rootless person, have long been cut off from my children and grandchildren, how can I sit on your dragon chair! ”

The emperor laughed angrily: "Can this dragon robe also be worn and played?" You foolishness! ”

Cao Baoli saw the emperor's smiling face, as if he saw a glimmer of life, and hurriedly smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, even marrying this lady is still what you suggested I did, you, you can't use it, marry back and have a good time." Cao Gouzi knows that he is wrong, Cao Gouzi is a dog guts, the emperor, you spare my dog's life! ”

This Cao Baoli has a milk name paddle dog", the emperor called him "Cao Gouzi" when he was happy in the palace, he called him like this, so that the emperor remembered a lot, Cao Baoli spared no effort to make himself happy, and sighed.

King Cheng saw that the situation was not good, so he glanced at Zuo Zhangquan, and as soon as Zuo Zhangquan moved, Zhao Muzhe also moved. For a time, inside and outside the hall were soldiers with swords and bows.

Zuo Zhangquan and Zhao Muzhe saluted the emperor, and Zhao Muzhe said: "Your Majesty! Don't spare this thief! They are corrupt and pervert the law, cause chaos in the court, disregard for human life, and now they are trying to rebel, if they are not sentenced to the ground, the swords in the hands of the soldiers will not agree! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt down and said: "If you don't kill the thief, it will be difficult for the people to be angry!" ”

The emperor looked around in a panic, only to see that the crowd was crowded, the cold light was shining, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground, and none of them came out to intercede for Cao Baoli. The emperor had no steps to go down, and sighed: "That's it!" Drag it down and behead it tomorrow at noon. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Guo Kuan and Lu Ping, who were driven away by Cao Baoli, didn't know when, they had already stood beside the emperor, Guo Kuan shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

As soon as the emperor saw Guo Kuan and Lu Ping, the two transferred chamberlains came back, he felt relieved, as if he finally had a support, and hurriedly grabbed Guo Kuan's arm and said: "Guo Kuan, hurry, help me go back!" ”

Haitang mentioned to the queen mother that after Cao Baoli was beheaded, the emperor did not have a handy servant by his side, and suggested that the queen should find Guo Kuan and others who had been with the emperor before and were driven away by Cao Baoli, so that at least the emperor would not be uncomfortable. Seeing Guo Kuan at this time, the emperor seemed to have grabbed a face-saving straw:

I also have Guo Kuan, Lu Ping, and Cao Baoli...... Cut it, cut it!
