The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

·

The emperor ran around for a while, and finally had a good time, and returned to the chariot under the guard of everyone. Lu Heng followed behind the emperor, even if he didn't look at it, he could imagine how many people looked at him unpleasantly, and were blaming him for his fault. Lu Heng sighed secretly, but this kind of thing is unavoidable, as long as you go up, you will inevitably encounter wind, frost, rain and snow. In this world, only mediocre people are the safest.

The emperor has been nursed back by Taoist priests for many years, but his physical foundation is still weak, and he is tired after riding a horse outside. Fortunately, Wei Hui's mansion arrived, and the arranged palace was in front. Lu Heng dismounted and escorted the emperor to the palace.

Lu Heng looked solemn all the way, but he was actually quite absent-minded. He wanted to see Wang Yanqing. He was afraid that he would be noticed by others along the way. He never walked to Wang Yanqing's car during the day, and could only see her at night. Lu Heng noticed that Fu Tingzhou had been staring at her car today. It seemed that Fu Tingzhou already knew her location.

Lu Heng didn't know how many times he scolded in his heart, bastard, does Fu Tingzhou have nothing else to do, and only stares at Wang Yanqing every day?

Lu Heng knew the emperor's body well. He expected that the emperor was tired and had to rest early, so that he could go back earlier.

After entering the palace, Lu Heng couldn't wait. However, there are many red tapes for civil servants. Obviously, the emperor is tired, and the officials are also tired, but the Ministry of Rites insists that officials of Weihui House and Ru Wang Zhu Youqi meet the emperor in accordance with the etiquette.

Lu Heng and the emperor patiently waited until the process was over. After the officials of Weihui Mansion paid three homages and nine kowtows, the emperor asked Ru Wang Zhu Youyu in a meaningful way. The official only said a few words, and suddenly a loud voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, you are wronged! The women are wronged! "

Lu Heng's mind was sober in an instant, he put his hand on the handle of the knife, and immediately blocked in front of the emperor, said coldly, "Guard."

Before the people in the hall could react, Jin Yiwei had already surrounded the emperor. Everyone just woke up like a dream, and the people shouting and escorting were in a mess, and Cheng Youhai, the prefect of Wei Hui, was obviously ugly.

The people shouted grievances outside the emperor's palace, doesn't this mean that he has no way to rule? Cheng Zhifu immediately pleaded guilty to the emperor, and said with a blushing face: "This minister is guilty. I don't know where the troublesome people are disturbing the holy car, and the minister will drive them out."

However, the emperor waved his hand and said lightly, "She made a special trip to Xingdian to complain about her grievance. She should have something to complain about. First ask her why she complained."

The voice of grievances just now can't be heard, it should be restrained by guards or too much surveillance. When the emperor spoke, everyone dared not obey, Lu Heng silently retreated behind the emperor, and the other Jinyi guards received Lu Heng's signal to change their formation, not to block the emperor's sight, but still guarding the emperor's side. A eunuch stepped down from the throne and walked quickly outside.

After a while, the eunuch came back and reported: "Sir, there are two women outside. They claim to be a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Hegu Village, Qixian County. Come to plead guilty."

The emperor looked at Cheng Zhifu indifferently. Cheng Zhifu's face was completely white, and he was sweating coldly. He immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "This minister is negligent."

The emperor did not have a seizure and asked, "What's going on here?"

How could Cheng Zhifu know about a pair of unnamed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a certain village in a certain town under its jurisdiction. His throat was stuck, and he couldn't say anything else.

All the ministers in the Hall of Xing looked at the nose, nose, and heart, and could hear the needle drop for a moment. In the silence, a footstep sounded from far to near, Chen Yin walked in quickly, and when he saw the emperor, he hurriedly knelt down and salutes: "I am late for the escort, and the crime deserves death."

The emperor was relatively calm towards Cheng Zhifu, but when he saw Chen Yin, he couldn't control the anger on his face. The emperor scolded: "As the chief of Jinyiwei, you are responsible for the security of the palace, but you don't even know when someone approached the palace. Today is a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. What if an assassin comes?"

On the one hand, the emperor was angry with Chen Yin for not taking care of the palace, and on the other hand, he was even more angry at Chen Yin's neglect. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's minion and arm, but when the danger occurs, Chen Yin is not even by the emperor's side.

What is the use of such an arm?

Chen Yin had nothing to say, only bowed his head and listened obediently.

The emperor scolded Chen Yin angrily, and the other officials did not dare to get in trouble and pretended not to hear. Lu Heng's eyes swept over quietly, his eyes pondered for a while, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is willing to share the worries of Commander Chen Du and find out the grievances."

When Chen Yin heard Lu Heng's words, Huo De raised his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes could not wait to tear Lu Heng apart. Lu Heng didn't even want to cover it up, so he stepped on him and climbed up. The first assistant Zhang Jinggong's expression became subtle, and the second assistant Li Shi saw Zhang Jinggong's face and came out and said, "But the southern tour itinerary has been arranged, and it's time to leave for Cizhou tomorrow. How will Commander Lu investigate the case?"

Lu Heng said calmly, "Ignore the injustice, it would be detrimental to the name of the Holy King. The minister just wants to share his worries for the king."

The emperor did not speak, Zhang Jinggong looked at Yan Wei, the Minister of Rites, and asked, "Yan Wei, if staying in Weihui will affect the plan of the subsequent southern tour?"

Yan Wei was thrown a hot potato when he was not careful. He seemed to recall, but in fact he quickly weighed the emperor's expression. The emperor cared about reputation, he didn't say that it was not allowed, he should not care about delaying for a day or two. Moreover, after traveling for nine days in a row, maybe the emperor is also tired and wants to take a rest here for a while.
