Chapter 17: The Storm Rises
"My lord!" In the dark night, in the backyard of Junzai Hall, the ghost-faced monk knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "The things are ready!"
"Hmm, let the old man think about it again!" Zai Junhao sighed deeply, looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, tonight's oblique moon was in the sky, and there was a little fog around the moon!
"My lord! If you hesitate any longer, you will have to change your country! Can you be worthy of the first emperor?" The Ghost-Faced Monk stood up and said that it was righteous indignation!
"But the old man did these things, and he was ashamed of the emperor's entrustment to the old ministers! blame the old man for his incompetence, and finally ended up in such a field!" Zai Junhao looked annoyed.
"My lord! Let the blood of the emperor rule the country, which is also an extremely great patriotic act! The villain knew his way back then, and to follow the adult is to take a fancy to the adult's loyalty and patriotism, and it is really time for a big thing to come! How can the adult retreat? The villain should follow behind the adult, and never flinch!" The ghost-faced monk knelt down on one knee again.
"Yes! Foreign enemies and internal enemies are all enemies! Let's watch the old man overcome all obstacles and settle the country! Take action tomorrow!" Zai Junhao silently repeated in his heart, which can be regarded as a hint to himself! "Pass the order! Let the soldiers enter the state of readiness, and let General Zhao enter the city to quell the rebellion as soon as the time passes! Is there any news from Chenpei?!"
"Lord Hui, I still haven't been able to find it!I'm afraid it's too bad luck!" The ghost-faced monk lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.
"Hmph, settle accounts with them later! Jae Junhao frowned and took a step.
"Yes...!"
The next day, there was still more than an hour before the previous dynasty, Zai Junhao took the ghost-faced monk out of the house, and the two went to the palace.
"After a while, if the old man says that the old man will blame the old man for ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, you will do it!" Zai Junhao looked up at the gentle morning sun.
"Yes, my lord!" said the ghost-faced monk busily.
The two came to the outer city of the palace and handed over the horses to the stable, and then walked inside, and after walking for a long time, they went to find the eunuch in charge, who knew that the eunuch in charge was standing at the gate of the dragon hall early today.
"Grandpa Liu!"
"It turned out to be General Zai! It's still early here, why did you come so early?" Gonggong Liu squinted his eyes and said this, and the corners of his mouth picked one by one.
"That big object just arrived in the hands of the old man a few days ago, this old man is not busy handing it over to the emperor!" Zai Junhao said in a low voice in Gonggong Liu's ear.
"Yo, that's a shame, but who is this?" Gonggong Liu opened his eyes and looked at the ghost-faced monk, and asked in a low voice.
"Oh! This is the old man's subordinate, the old man is afraid that something will go wrong and he will come here!"
"I've seen my father-in-law!" the ghost-faced monk said, bowing his head.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with being cautious!"
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, has the emperor gotten up?" Jae Jun Ho asked.
"The emperor got up early in the morning and was reading a book in the palace!
"Gonggong Liu, please!" Zai Junhao made a leading example.
"Hey, General, your subordinates have to wait here!, don't embarrass the old slave!" Liu Gonggong said with a frown as he watched the ghost-faced monk follow.
"You're going to stay here!" Jae Junhao glared at the ghost-faced monk.
"Yes, sir!"
The two hurriedly walked through dozens of white marble stairs, walked past a buffer platform, and walked up dozens of white marble stairs, and came to the emperor's pole hall, where the golden dragon under the eaves reflected a soft golden light under the illumination of the rising sun.
"General Zai Junhao has arrived!" Liu Gonggong shouted inside.
"Say!" said a eunuch's voice from inside the hall.
Gonggong Liu nodded at Zai Junhao at the door, and Zai Junhao smiled and walked into the hall. The little emperor sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, and there was a eunuch standing next to him, his hat so low that he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"The old minister sees the emperor!" Zai Junhao knelt down and bowed.
"General, please get up!"
"Emperor Xie!"
"I don't know what the general is important to come to see me so early?"
"Your Majesty! The old minister did not dishonor the emperor's order and found the lost heirloom jade seal!" Zai Junhao took out something from his arms and opened the blue silk cloth wrapped outside, which contained a jade seal.
"Well done general!" said the little emperor. The eunuch beside the emperor walked down the dragon platform to pick up the jade seal, Zai Junhao gently pushed the eunuch away with one hand, and the eunuch stood aside.
"Your Majesty! Before offering it to the Holy One, the old minister has the courage to ask the Emperor for advice!"
"Bold!" these two words came out of the immature mouth of the little emperor, and it seemed that there was no majesty, "The general wants to rebel, can he not do it?"
"Lao Chen, a veteran of the three dynasties, a hero who made a contribution to the founding of the country, and his loyalty can be demonstrated! However, since the first emperor was lying on the couch, a national teacher suddenly came, and within five days, the Turkic army, which had been entangled with Lao Chen Lu for half a year, withdrew to the territory overnight, which is very suspicious! He dismissed most of the old man's brothers who shared life and death, and also let the old minister do more chores than the Yamen managed, and it was his duty to serve the country! The old minister did his best, most of this country was bought by the old minister following Emperor Wuxiong in exchange for his life, and the old minister did not want Emperor Wuxiong's hard work and sweat to be harmed by outsiders! I hope the emperor can help the old minister to guide the maze!"
"Old General, I know that you have worked hard, and my father is not so dull. The little prince paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "As for the general's brothers, it is because the country has been conscripted to defend against the enemy for many years, there are countless barren fields, and starvation is everywhere, all of which are caused by the labor being conscripted to fight.
"Your Majesty! What is the explanation for the battle of Chenlu? Why did the national division go to the enemy camp and the Turkic army withdraw from the national border that night? Isn't this national division a spy of a foreign enemy?"
"I didn't know much about this specific detail at that time, and the emperor didn't discuss it with me in detail!" the little emperor honestly told the truth.
"Your Majesty! Soon after Chen Lu's First World War, there was a wolf smoke village on the rivers and lakes, and the old minister had carefully investigated it, and all of them were descendants of the Turks! To be precise, soon after the appearance of the national teacher, this wolf smoke village slowly appeared, and the emperor knew about it? Your Majesty! Since you ascended the throne, all the big and small events in this dynasty have been assisted by the national teacher! Where has the national teacher gone in recent days?" Jae Jun Hao said aggressively!
"Presumptuous! How do I use people to dispatch, do I still need to ask you for instructions?" The little emperor slapped the table and stood up.
"The old minister doesn't dare! The old minister is just worried that this country is in danger, and he asks the emperor to think twice!" Zai Junhao's head was raised high contrary to what he said, and his eyes were looking at something!
"Yo he! What! Say I'm incompetent? Let you sit here?" the little emperor's face turned blue with anger.
"The old minister doesn't dare!, but if the emperor can let the virtuous give the third prince, that's the best!"
"Third prince, you are younger than me, I'm afraid that I didn't sit hot and gave it to you? presumptuous! You are forcing the palace!" the little emperor slapped the dragon chair three times with a flick of his hand.
"Then don't blame the old man for ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and the minister!" Zai Junhao waited for a while, and found that the ghost-faced monk did not rush in, couldn't he hear it? "Phew!Phew!" spit out two flying knives, the eunuch who was originally standing next to him had already come behind him, and took out a halberd from behind his back and slashed at Zai Junhao, Zai Junhao has been on the battlefield for many years and is not in danger, his right fist was as fast as lightning and hit the eunuch's lower abdomen, the eunuch was beaten up and messed up, spit out a mouthful of saliva, and then threw the halberd away, Zai Junhao couldn't dodge and was hooked in the left shoulder, the eunuch pulled back hard, and the handle of the original halberd was also connected to some silk threads as transparent as spider silk.
"Hahaha! The offspring kid has some ability!" Zai Junhao laughed, raised his right leg and stepped on the ground violently, his right hand grabbed the halberd and pulled it out, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways, but Zai Junhao's face did not change as if it was not painful, and he pulled the eunuch towards himself, this eunuch was more than six feet tall, such a huge body, he was pulled over like a kite, and his right hand suddenly pulled the halberd backwards, and then his right hand punched down on the eunuch's head.
"Bang!" The eunuch's body fell heavily to the ground, the red blood on his head flowed out, and the eunuch's hat was blown away by the wind.
Zai Junhao was stunned when he saw his face, and at this moment, the eunuch pulled out the small dagger in his boot and stabbed him in the ribs, "It's you!!"
