On the evening of the same day, Zhou Gu and He Zheng entered the palace and returned to the emperor with their own gains from the half-day investigation.

As soon as the emperor heard that the Praetorian Guards had such a big basket, one dead and one missing, obviously involved in this case, he immediately became angry, "He Zheng, I believe you in vain and hand over the Praetorian Guard to you, but you can see for yourself, the Praetorian Guard under your jurisdiction has such a big thing, what are you talking about?"

He Zheng knelt on the ground, unable to argue with a white face, "Your Majesty forgives you."

The emperor was furious, "From today on, you will stop your duties to investigate and deal with it, and you will ...... the deputy commander", he just wanted to say that the deputy commander was on top, but the deputy commander was not at ease at this time, and he suddenly stopped talking, and he couldn't think of who to use for a while.

Zhou Gu spoke at this time, "Your Majesty, I think we can let Commander He make meritorious contributions."

After half a day of cooperating with the investigation, he still believed in He Zheng.

The emperor frowned and looked at Zhou Gu.

Zhou Gu stood straight, "The Praetorian Guard is His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, how can it be easily replaced by someone in charge, it will inevitably make a bigger mistake, I think, it is better to let Commander He make meritorious contributions."

The emperor pondered for a moment with a calm face, and felt that what Zhou Gu said was reasonable, He was brought up by him, if even he was not at ease, who could he hand over the Praetorian Guard? He took Zhou Gu's suggestion with a stiff face, "He Zheng, I will allow you to make meritorious contributions, from now on, I will give the Praetorian Guard a good inventory, find out the whereabouts of the person named Ding Man, and chase down the murderer, otherwise you, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, don't have to do it."

He Zheng hurriedly expressed his position, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the murderer will definitely be found."

The Emperor waved his hand and ordered the two of them to retreat, "Go down!"

Zhou Gu and He Zheng withdrew from the imperial study.

After the two left, the Emperor was furious, pacing back and forth in the Imperial Study, "What a bold man to dare to put his hand into my Praetorian Guard. If I hadn't ...... it in advance."

He wanted to say that if it wasn't for the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, he forced the old protector to know Su Rong's life experience in advance, then when he knew that Zhao Lao'er said that Zhenmin was the county lord, and he sent someone to investigate, but he heard that Zhou Gu kidnapped Zhao Lao'er and went to the Protector's Mansion, wouldn't he suspect that Gu and the Protector's Mansion had ulterior intentions last week? And then suspect that Donggong has other intentions?

Now it is precisely because he knew in advance that he did not let the Praetorian Guards directly bring Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei into the palace, but handed them over to Zhou Gu for trial, and the Praetorian Guards cooperated, otherwise, wouldn't Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei be happy to die when they didn't see him? It's the same as sealing four?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, if he had neglected the management of the Praetorian Guards over the years, it would have been fine, but he was not negligent in the death of the Praetorian Guards, especially the East Palace and the Protector's Mansion, which were extremely strict. But in this case, there are still such big loopholes, which can only show that except for the East Palace and the Protector Mansion, he is too loose with others.

"Your Majesty, calm your anger and take care of the dragon's body." Father-in-law Yu hurriedly reminded.

The emperor took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, the only credible King Ruian was also used by him, although he had always been suspicious and jealous of the Protector Mansion, but for the matter of the county lord Zhenmin, he didn't have to doubt it now, so he used Zhou Gu today to take advantage of the situation to let him investigate the case, and the Praetorian Guard He Zheng should still be credible, but he felt that he was still short of people available.

He asked Father-in-law Yu, "How is the reading of the papers?"

"I've just read half of it, and I'm staying up all night." Father-in-law Yu replied, "It will take half a month to get the results out at the earliest."

The emperor nodded, "The court still needs to be close to talents, and the three divisions and the six departments must add some fresh blood." Otherwise, I will be by them."

Father-in-law Yu hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, this matter is urgent, don't be angry."

How could the emperor not be angry? Whether it is the crown prince or his sons, he doesn't want to use them at this time, who knows which one has what heart is behind it? He waved his hand, "You go to the Chengguo Mansion now, and pass on my message to Ye Guixue, I want to see him tomorrow."

Father-in-law Yu should have been, and immediately went.

The last time I went to invite Ye Guixue, the emperor sent a little eunuch to go, Ye Guixue excused himself to be unwell and said that he was a few days late, until now, he did not enter the palace, and now he sent the chief eunuch around him again, he can't shirk it

。

But unexpectedly, Gonggong Yu arrived at the Chengguo Mansion, saw Ye Guixue, and after conveying the emperor's meaning, Ye Guixue smiled, "I made an appointment with Miss Su Qi tomorrow, it's not good to miss the appointment, please wait for a day, and enter the palace to meet His Majesty Da Liang the day after returning to the snow."

Father-in-law Yu: "......"

He thought to himself, this is really hard to invite!

What could he say, he could only nod his head and say with a smile: "The old slave will go back to the palace to return to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty will have time to see the second son of the night the day after tomorrow."

Ye Guixue smiled lightly, "Don't worry, if Your Majesty is not available the day after tomorrow, Guixue will enter the palace to see you a few days later."

Father-in-law Yu laughed dryly, "Your Majesty may be free, the old slave will go back first!" The second son of the night rests early."

Return to the snow at night.

The housekeeper of the Chengguo Mansion personally sent Father-in-law Yu out of the mansion and walked away from the courtyard where he returned to the snow at night, and Father-in-law Yu asked the housekeeper, "The second prince lives in the mansion this night, can he serve him?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Excellent servant, although the second son of the night treats people away, he is not unkind. Not picky."

Yu Gonggong thought to himself, okay, people turned out to be kind, but they just didn't like to buy His Majesty's face. Southern Chu vassal state from the time of the first emperor, there is only one name of the subject country left, when the Great Wei and the Great Liang fought, but also thanks to the Southern Chu subject country because of the Zhenmin county lord to lend a hand, otherwise, the Great Liang is afraid that the country would have already perished. Now that many years have passed, Da Liang is recuperating, but Nan Chu is not bad, and it is no wonder that this night Guixue does not give His Majesty face.

After Gonggong Yu returned to the palace, he truthfully told the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time and nodded, "I know, then send someone to tell him again, and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow!"

Gonggong Yu peeked at the emperor, but when he didn't see the emperor angry, he answered yes.

Early the next morning, Ye Guixue went to Ye Qiuying's yard, and saw that she hadn't dressed up after breakfast, so she urged her, "Why haven't you dressed up yet? It's time to go."

Ye Qiuying shook her head, "Little uncle, you go by yourself, I won't go."

Night Returns Snow and asks, "Why?"

Ye Qiuying sighed, "Little uncle, why are you so stupid, I don't follow you, of course, it's to stay in the way." Without me, you and Sister Su Qi can talk more, I'm still a child, so as not to be a child."

Night Returns to Snow: "......"

He laughed for a moment and asked, "Really?"

Ye Qiuying shook her head resolutely, "I'm really not going."

"Okay! Then you are obedient in the house." Ye Guixue touched her head, turned and left.

See you tomorrow for a monthly pass!
