The happy life of a prodigal

Liu Cheng took out the previous letter from his bosom, presented it with both hands, and said: "Your servant, a young eunuch named Zhang Sheng, was sent a letter while he was sleeping, saying that he wanted to present it to His Majesty.

The maidservant saw the words 'An Guozhizhi' written on the letter paper, so she didn't dare to be negligent, so she came to see His Majesty immediately. "

Letterhead?

The Emperor of Chu was startled for a moment, then his face showed anger, he slammed the table, and said: "My palace city allows people to come in and out at will, today I just sent letters, if I send swords in the future, what should I do?

Could it be that the pro-army guarding the palace city are all gangsters who can't even stop a small letter? "

When Liu Cheng came, he was ready to face the wrath of the Emperor Chu, so he just prostrated himself on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your servant will die forever."

Then, there was silence.

The Emperor Chu looked at the letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and said: "The fault is also the fault of the army, and it has nothing to do with you... Submit the letter, I want to see who is like this bold!"

Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, stood up, and presented the letter.

At the same time, standing behind Emperor Chu, he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this letter is anonymous."

Emperor Chu's face was gloomy, he didn't say anything, he just opened the letter and glanced at it roughly.

At first, there was no expression on his face.

After a while, seeing a certain place, his expression changed rapidly.

His eyes gradually became darker, and his face became more gloomy.

After reading it carefully, Emperor Chu couldn't help being furious, picked up the teacup on the table, threw it on the ground, and said sharply: "Damn it!"

After following the Emperor Chu for decades, it was the first time that Liu Cheng saw His Majesty lose his composure like this.

In the past, even if His Majesty was angry, at most he would show a little anger on his face and scold a few words in person.

Like today, even the teacup was smashed into pieces, never before!

As if realizing something, Liu Cheng knelt down on the ground with a bang, his body trembling, like sifting chaff, he kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "Damn it, damn it..."

Chu Huang looked at Liu Cheng who was kneeling at his feet, and the anger in his heart did not decrease in the slightest, he said angrily: "What does this matter have to do with you, why are you eager to admit your mistake without knowing anything?

You people, in front of me, knelt down and kowtowed at every turn, shouted death, turned around, and acted in another way, don't you think I don't know! ? "

Hearing this, Liu Cheng trembled even more. He wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say a word.

His Majesty is now in a fit of anger, no matter what he says or does, he can only bear it.

In any case, according to the meaning of His Majesty's words, the reason for his anger is only because of the content of the letter, which has nothing to do with the fact that he submitted the letter.

After the Emperor Chu reprimanded him, he turned his head and looked at the secret letter on the case again.

His eyes were gloomy like water.

After an unknown period of time, Liu Cheng felt that his legs were numb.

The Emperor Chu's deep voice sounded in the warm pavilion: "Cabinet Grand Scholars Yan Zhuang, Yang Zhe, Ouyang Hua, Minister of War Ma Wenhua, General of the Habayashi Guard Tian An."

When Liu Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this series of names, his heart was agitated.

The Cabinet Master, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and General Habayashi Wei are all important officials among the important officials of the court.

At the same time, it was said that they entered the palace to face the saints, it must be because of some major event.

Combined with His Majesty's reaction after reading the letter before, it is almost certain that this matter... has something to do with the letter I presented!

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but lift his expression.

Own decision...not wrong!

Even though he was scolded, he was very happy in his heart.

Because he knew that Emperor Chu scolded him just out of anger, not himself.

When His Majesty calmed down, he thought that he had taken a huge risk to submit this important letter.

I will definitely trust myself more and reuse it more.

Although the eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies, is already the pinnacle of eunuchs, who wouldn't want to gain more trust from His Majesty?

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face, he hurriedly got up, and respectfully said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chapter 78 Vegetarian Meal

Liu Cheng went down to deliver the decree, and only Emperor Chu was left in the Nuan Pavilion

Looking at the shattered teacup at his feet, the anger in his heart did not subside in the slightest. Sitting on the dragon chair, his body trembled slightly.

Even the most elite Habayashi guards in the pro-army had such a major flaw in their military equipment.

What's more, it's far away in the borderlands of the southwest and northwest?

The imperial court allocates so much money every year to forge weapons and armor, but in the end it all falls into the hands of those maggots.

No wonder......

No wonder the [-] elite soldiers couldn't even beat the [-] disheveled chieftain thieves!

The more Chu Huang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt that everything in front of him became disgusting.

It wasn't until the time for a stick of incense passed that the mood calmed down a little.

Picking up the letterhead on the case again, he read it again carefully.

When he saw the four words 'An Guo Zhi Ce' that stood out on the letter paper, he was slightly taken aback.

I always feel... this word is somewhat familiar.

As soon as this idea appeared, it was out of control.

Looking at the letter, Emperor Chu racked his brains, wondering where he had seen this handwriting.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still have no clue.

After all, he is the son of the great Chu emperor. Although he is assisted by a cabinet scholar, there are countless papers and memorials that need to be approved every day.

There are so many civil and military officials with different handwritings, how can they all be remembered.

Sighing, he put the letter aside, rubbed his brows, and was just about to call the eunuch who was waiting outside to come in to dispose of the fragments of the teacup, when he suddenly saw the memorial on the case, accusing Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang of General Fang Xiu The letter for the vegetarian meal.

Fang Xiu... The strategy of An Guo...

A flash of spiritual light flashed, and Emperor Chu's eyes turned cold suddenly, and he said, "Come here..."

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch walked in, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Chu glanced at him and ordered: "Order someone to clean up this place."

The little eunuch immediately said: "Yes."

The Emperor of Chu said again: "Send another person to the Hanlin Academy to bring back the papers that have been sealed for review."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, the little eunuch walked in with a pile of sealed papers, and just about to kneel down to salute, he heard the Emperor Chu say: "There is no need to salute, put the papers here, you can go out."

The little eunuch hurriedly responded, put the proofreading paper on Emperor Chu's desk, and left the Nuan Pavilion.

Chu Huang opened the papers by himself, and then searched one by one, finally found the article that he had read over and over again not long ago.

Compared with the font on this letterhead...it is exactly the same!

The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, and an expression of extreme surprise appeared on Chu Huang's face.

This matter...was Fang Xiu's incompetent kid who revealed it?

The news was a bit shocking...

Chu Huang's complexion was a bit complicated, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.

Just now, I also believed in the Youzhong Lang general named Sun Teng, thinking that this kid is a vegetarian who doesn't do business, and just sleeps all day long.

But I didn't expect that people secretly took such a big risk to investigate and collect evidence, and gave me a big surprise...or it can be said, frightened!

Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, Emperor Chu's face darkened again.

Throughout the dynasties, the mistakes made by the emperor, especially partial belief and partial listening were the most important. He always kept it in his heart and never reminded himself that it must not be the case.

But... In just one month, this kind of thing happened three times, and it was all because of Fang Xiu.

Emperor Chu couldn't help being a little depressed, and secretly made a decision.

Next time, if someone impeaches Fang Xiu again, Jin Wuwei must be sent to investigate thoroughly first, and then deal with it if there is no problem.

Thinking of this, he looked at the impeachment memorial again, and felt inexplicably hateful.

A young talent who was willing to take risks and dare to do practical things was slandered by his deputy as a scum of the world.

It happened to be among the Habayashi guards again.

This... couldn't help but make him a little angry.

After thinking for a while, he passed on the decree: "I pass on my decree, Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang General Sun Teng, whose corpse is a vegetarian meal, is worried about me. I will cut off Zuo Zhonglang's post and demote him to be a school lieutenant."

On the side, the Bachelor Attendant who just came back from Habayashi Guard was a little confused, but still responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

............

Yulin Wei.

You Zhonglang sat Sun Teng at the head of the tent, with a smile on his face.

The school captains also looked happy. On the desk in front of them, there was wine and meat, as if it was Chinese New Year.

Just now, the bachelor's servant came to Habayashi Guard to pass the decree, saying that according to His Majesty's oral order, Zuo Zhonglang ordered Fang Xiu to enter the palace to face the saint.

And a few days ago, they just jointly wrote a memorial to impeach Fangxiu.

Combined with the time, it can be passed to His Majesty's hands almost today.

Not surprisingly, it was His Majesty who read the memorial and was furious, so he ordered Zuo Zhonglang to enter the palace to face the saint.

Their new General Zuo Zhonglang might not get any good fruit this time, according to their estimates, at least he will be demoted to the rank of captain.

Although this Fang Zhonglang was not so strict with them, he just slept in the tent all day long.

But... they are all motivated people.

Even if a strict Shangguan is not pleasing, at least there is a way to please him. In the future, he will be one step closer among the pro-military.

A Shangguan who does nothing makes them completely confused, not knowing whether to give gifts or to flatter them.

That being the case, it would be better to drive him away, and appoint You Zhonglang, who he is familiar with and has been loyal to for many years, to take over.

In fact, this is just a reason for them to jointly impeach General Fang Zhonglang.

Another more important reason is that General Fang Zhonglang seems easy to bully, even if he fails, he will only be scolded by His Majesty, and there is no actual loss.

If it succeeds, General Sun will be the new General Zuo Zhonglang, and they can naturally rise with the tide.

Therefore, in this tent, there is an atmosphere of joy everywhere.

A school lieutenant raised his wine glass and complimented him: "General Sun is a man with both ability and political integrity. The lower ranks have always believed that only generals are worthy of being the Zuo Zhonglang general of our Habayashi Guard.

Today, Fangxiu was summoned into the palace by His Majesty, it must be because of His Majesty's holy order, knowing that his corpse is a vegetarian, and if he does not do practical things, he will be severely punished.

After this incident, the position of General Zuo Zhonglang is none other than General Sun, and I would like to express my congratulations to the general in advance! "

After all, drink it up.

Listening to the flattery of his subordinate captain, Sun Teng's vanity was greatly satisfied, he waved his hand, said nothing, just raised his wine glass, and drank the wine in the same glass.

Seeing this scene, the other school lieutenants looked at each other, raised their glasses and complimented each other.

What he said, repeated over and over again, was nothing more than those few sentences.

After a few glasses of wine poured into his throat, Sun Teng felt his face burning hot and his head was a little dizzy, but he still replied glass by glass, vaguely saying: "Ben, if this general is really Zuo Zhonglang, Ding, Definitely promote and wait!"

All the captains were rejoiced when they heard this, and they were about to stand up and salute.

A voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "I am here to deliver the decree, where is General Sun Teng, Habayashi Wei You Zhonglang?"

Chapter 79 Captain Sun

Hearing this voice, everyone in the tent cheered up.

Sun Teng couldn't stop his ecstasy.
