Chapter 172: Coming to the door to make amends!
The soldiers of the city gate are the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are under the control of Zhao Bingzhong.
So now, his goods are seized by the soldiers at the city gate, which must be related to Zhao Bingzhong.
This guy suddenly made a difficulty, and Pei Tianlin was also a little confused!
And Pei Tianlin couldn't be sure what Zhao Bingzhong was doing this, was he a sudden move, or was someone behind him instigating?
Pei Tianlin couldn't figure it out.
And if there is someone behind it, then who will be the person behind it?
After a while, I saw Pei Tianlin stunned.
"Could it be, Your Majesty?"
I thought to myself.
Pei Tianlin raised his head and stared at the figure on the dragon chair.
Emperor Wu also seemed to feel something, and he suddenly stopped while he was lecturing and looked at Pei Tianlin.
"Kunijo-sama, you seem to have something to say?"
He asked suddenly.
Pei Tianlin frowned a few times, and finally arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is just unwell, so he has a gaffe." ”
"The minister has nothing to say, forgive the minister for being rude."
"Lord Guozhang is not feeling well, he should rest early, I have authorized Lord Guozhang not to wait for the end of the court meeting to leave today, come here, and send Lord Guozhang back to the house for me."
Emperor Wu immediately waved his hand.
Pei Tianlin didn't have the heart to stand in the court, but after listening to it at this time, he was naturally anxious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, ahem!"
Pretending to cough a few times, Pei Tianlin quickly left the main hall under the protection of several guards.
And Emperor Wu just looked at his back and showed a sly smile.
Back at the mansion, Pei Tianlin was going to go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division in person to ask things clearly.
As soon as the front foot stood still, the back foot heard someone report it.
"Report to your lordship, Zhao Bingzhong, the leader of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, asks to see you!"
"Huh? He actually took the initiative to come? ”
Pei Tianlin was a little surprised.
I was going to go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to ask for the guilt, but I didn't expect Zhao Bingzhong's movements to be quite fast.
"Let him in."
Pei Tianlin said lightly.
After a while, I saw that Zhao Bingzhong had already entered the mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Zhao Bingzhong's right leg bent and knelt directly on one knee!
"Minister Zhao Bingzhong, come and ask for guilt!"
That look, not to mention how humble it is.
Pei Tianlin was still angry in his heart.
"General Zhao, it's really majestic, I didn't expect that just a few days after I became the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, my goods were detained."
"Alas, that's right, General Zhao now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it's already different from the past, so why should you care about me, a bad old man?"
With a burst of yin and yang weirdness, Pei Tianlin took the lead in making a fire.
Zhao Bingzhong's eyes were slightly cold, but he hid them very well.
After a moment, his head pressed even lower!
"Returning to Lord Guozhang, all this is a misunderstanding, the minister really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!"
"Misunderstanding? General Zhao, are you going to explain it to me? ”
Pei Tianlin sneered.
Zhao Bingzhong nodded.
"Yes, my lord, this matter is really the unauthorized act of the city gate captain!"
"These guys are usually used to accepting bribes, and when I saw someone out of the city last night, it was still from your mansion, so the new people have bad intentions and want to extort a good amount."
"But they were not satisfied with a penia! I actually arrested someone! The intention is to detain the whole vehicle and resell the goods! ”
In his tone, he was very sincere.
Zhao Bingzhong's explanation doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.
"The minister only heard about this matter this morning, and he was shocked at the time!"
Therefore, early in the morning, the minister immediately asked those soldiers at the city gate directly! As for those who were caught, all of them were released! ”
"But the minister's heart is really scared, so he can only feel at ease if he comes to make amends in person!"
In other words, there is nothing wrong with it.
This attitude is especially humble!
When Pei Tianlin heard this, he just looked at Zhao Bingzhong, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Zhao Bingzhong continued: "Lord Guozhang, the minister has just served as the leader of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he doesn't know much about the things below. ”
"If there is no way to discipline the ministers, they should also be punished! Please punish the Lord! ”
Zhao Bingzhong asked.
But Pei Tianlin still didn't speak.
Although there was nothing wrong with what Zhao Bingzhong said, Pei Tianlin still had his own doubts in his heart.
He was suspecting that all this was the emperor's instigation, and the emperor ordered Zhao Bingzhong to deliberately embarrass him!
Since this is the case, why don't you test Emperor Wu's face?
Thinking of this, Pei Tianlin thought about it.
"General Zhao, if you are really sincere, why don't you go and ask Your Majesty to ask for guilt!"
"Your Majesty?"
Zhao Bingzhong was stunned.
Pei Tianlin's expression became even colder.
"What, General Zhao thinks it's inappropriate?"
"You are the leader of Your Majesty's consent, and if you make a mistake, you naturally have to make it clear in front of Your Majesty, which is a reasonable thing."
"But."
Zhao Bingzhong hesitated: "But after all, this goods is related to you, Lord Guozhang, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right?" What if."
"My goods are all clean things, and they are going to be transported back to my hometown, what's so unsightly?"
"General Zhao, why don't you enter the palace with me now?"
Pei Tianlin had already stood up.
Although Zhao Bingzhong was very unhappy on his face, seeing Pei Tianlin's attitude, he naturally didn't say anything more.
After a while, he bowed down and said, "Yes, the minister is willing to go to His Majesty to ask for sin!" ”
"Humph! That's the best! ”
Pei Tianlin sneered.
Not long after, he took Zhao Bingzhong to the palace.
At this time, not long after the court meeting, Emperor Wu returned to his bedroom.
In the next second, I only heard the eunuch walking in quickly.
"Your Majesty, Lord Guozhang and General Zhao have asked to meet the Holy Lord."
"The two of them?"
Emperor Wu was slightly stunned.
It's a loss, he just thought of what Chen Mohan entered the palace to report to him last night.
Emperor Wu suddenly understood, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Then please come in."
"Yes."
The little eunuch immediately received the order.
Soon, Pei Tianlin and Zhao Bingzhong entered the dormitory together.
Both salute at the same time!
"Minister Pei Tianlin!"
"Zhao Bingzhong, the leader of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Five Cities of the Minister, is also the commander of the forbidden army!"
"See the emperor!"
Emperor Wu had already gotten up.
"Excuse me! Hurry up, two of you! ”
"Lord Kunijo, weren't you unwell during the previous court meeting? Why did it suddenly come back again? ”
When the words fell, Pei Tianlin did not answer directly, but looked at Zhao Bingzhong next to him coldly.
Zhao Bingzhong immediately bent down with a humble expression.
"Back to Your Majesty, all this is the sins of the ministers, and it is the ministers who have reached the lord of the country!"
"Your Majesty is guilty! Please also ask Your Majesty to punish the ministers for serious crimes! ”
"The following? Offences? ”
Emperor Wu's face was puzzled.
"General Zhao, why did you say this? What the hell is going on? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Bingzhong explained the accident that happened last night one by one.
At this time, Pei Tianlin's eyes were always staring at Emperor Wu!
He was carefully observing the changes in Emperor Wu's expression!
