late at night

Not far from the palace, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard was sitting in the courtyard of a deep mansion here.

From the outside, this is the residence of a rich man, and you may also think of the powerful gold house because of the seclusion here, but in fact, this is also one of the strongholds of the Imperial City Division, and it is a deeper stronghold controlled by Zhao Gonggong.

The news gathered here is not only from the various bases in the capital after screening, but also from all provinces across the country after screening.

Outsiders may think that the great eunuch only needs to be trusted by the emperor and serve the emperor well, but in fact, although Zheng Taizu set the rule that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, due to the particularity of eunuchs, often some institutions that are unpopular and must be firmly controlled by the emperor are still handled by these eunuchs.

Both because it is easy to use, and because it can be discarded at any time without any trouble.

Even if he is a high-grade eunuch, he does not need to deal with the minister, he has to find a reason to convict, and the emperor can condemn him to life and death at the first thought.

In order to stabilize the position, even if there are several leaders and eunuchs, they are always cautious in doing things, Zhao Gonggong is not small, and he has control over the Imperial City Division, but if the Imperial City Division makes a mistake, he can't afford to be guilty.

The emperor's character, he couldn't be clearer.

Today was not his vigil, but he didn't dare to go to bed early, and went out of the imperial city to read the reports of the last two days in the largest stronghold of the Imperial City Division.

After reading the very important news summary first, the candle that had been lit since his arrival had burned most of it, rubbed his temples, and was a little swollen, but the official document had not been read yet, and Zhao Gonggong couldn't just rest like this.

"Governor, ginseng tea. ”

The eunuchs who can do things under Zhao Gonggong are all human spirits, and there are already little eunuchs who have quietly prepared for it, and at this time, a cup of hot ginseng tea was served, and it was respectfully placed in Zhao Gonggong's hand.

Zhao Gonggong nodded slightly, picked up the ginseng tea, and drank it slowly.

A cup of ginseng tea entered the stomach, and this interval also relieved Zhao Gonggong.

He pulled a stack of official documents that are not very important, although they are not very important, but they also have to be seen, because this kind of official documents often involves some people who are focused on, even if it is not important news, but who knows if there is a secret hidden in it that the people below can't see?

I picked up the top few copies casually and read them, they are no different from the past, they are indeed trivial things, this kind of official document, if it is not for the kings and the generals in charge, it really will not be sent here.

"Tsk, this Xu Hou, didn't he laugh at the eunuch before? As a result, he was impotent, and he had to secretly seek medical treatment to try to restore his strength, so he might as well be a real eunuch in our family!"

Looking at this Hou Ye's private affairs, Zhao Gonggong despised it.

After reading these copies, I threw them aside, and I got another one, I was careless, but when I saw the content above, I frowned a little: "It's strange, King Qi also loves alchemy at any time, and he also invited an alchemist." ”

Then, after looking at it for another minute, I looked at it, and stood up directly.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, the empty ginseng tea bowl shook and rolled directly to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The little eunuch who was standing not far away was frightened and hurriedly trotted over: "Dudu!"

"King Qi is alchemizing, and King Shu is also alchemizing?"

"Dan Fangli focused on checking the blood cinnamon?"

Gonggong Zhao didn't have time to deal with this little eunuch at all, and now the whole person was stunned, if he hadn't seen the wind and waves, he was afraid that he would be even more shocked at first sight.

But even now, when he changes color, he can't suppress the trembling of his body.

The King of Shu and the King of Qi are alchemy together, which is very strange, especially since there is a sensitive medicine in it.

"Go, call all of us!" he shouted as soon as he reacted.

"Yes!" The little eunuch who served in front of him knew that something big had happened, and his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly ran out.

In this stronghold alone, there are many members of the Imperial City Division who are waiting for orders to do things at any time, and they are all elites, after all, this stronghold is already the deepest place of the Imperial City Division, and any important news is here, and then the great eunuch of the Imperial City Division will report it to the emperor to know.

Once there is an emergency, you must take action first, otherwise it will be too late to control it after the emperor reports to the emperor.

Listening to the light footsteps outside, Zhao Gonggong pinched the two documents, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Blood Gui, this is the material in Da Huan Dan! It's just that ordinary officials learned about it, or they learned about it at another time, so it can naturally be said to be a coincidence, but at this time, it is related to the King of Qi and the King of Shu!"

How can this be considered a coincidence?

This time is the time to refine the Great Returning Pill, and the identity of the King of Qi and the King of Shu is extremely sensitive, and it is simply a fatal thing to have a relationship with the Great Returning Pill!

As the person of the Imperial City Division, he must investigate the truth as soon as possible, otherwise something really will happen!

It's a big thing to pierce the sky!

A moment later, several eunuchs with heads and faces who were in charge of the affairs of the Imperial City Division had already gathered in this room, and Gonggong Zhao had just ordered someone to take a list of eunuchs who often left the palace, and there were still many copies, as if the heavenly maiden was scattering flowers, and with a flick of his hand, he threw it at their feet.

"Tell me to take them all down to the Governor! Remember, don't startle them, take them all down before dawn, and pry open their mouths!"

The list was picked up separately by these eunuchs, and when they looked at it, they all hesitated.

One of them, a eunuch in his early twenties who looked like a woman, reminded: "Governor, some of these are their own people, and many of them are other fathers-in-law's people, and we have moved ......."

This is to be the enemy of the great eunuchs of the entire palace!

Although these people are in charge of the Imperial City Division, there are so many eunuchs in the entire palace, and the big eunuchs also have their own positions and doors, and they all have energy, and they are naturally not afraid to offend one or two, but if these eunuchs who leave the palace are taken down, it is equivalent to being an enemy of all the big eunuchs.

The eunuchs who will often leave the palace are all for oil and water, and if they can leave the palace so openly and frequently, they must have interests related to many people.

After all, relying only on a little money and rewards, many eunuchs are difficult to live a nourishing life, and they have no descendants in the first place, and their obsession with money has almost become the biggest desire.

If you cut off people's financial routes, you are enemies!

Zhao Gonggong glanced at a few people coldly, and his face was expressionless: "No matter who it is, we must thoroughly investigate it to the end, if it is negligent or intentionally releases the water, our family will say it first, be careful of your head." ”

"Also, our family should enter the palace immediately to face the saint. ”

"Governor, now the palace gate is under the key. "Some eunuchs reminded again that once the palace gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or exit, and if there is a special emergency, they will only pass the fold through the crack of the palace gate, and if they want to reopen it, they must alarm the emperor and issue a special order.

"Shut up, this governor has his own opinions!" Zhao Gonggong said coldly, sweeping over with a glance, and even with a bad breath.

The frightened speaker was immediately dumbfounded, and at that moment Zhao Gonggong went out of the mansion and arrived directly at the palace gate in an ox cart, I don't know what he shouted, and a moment of fire appeared, and the palace gate was reopened.

As the heavy palace gate slowly opened, the figure of Zhao Gonggong hurriedly disappeared into it.

The moonlight of the night sky looked down on everything, silent.
