Chapter 184: Bringing a Knife to Court
Rong Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Concubine Xian would be bribed by the eunuch in just a few moments.
He was silent for a moment, smiled slightly and stood up: "My beloved, you are overthinking it. This makeup looks very beautiful."
The corner of his eye glanced at Chen Huai lying on the ground: "You should also stand up. Serving the virtuous concubine well is the same as serving me well. There will be a reward."
Now everyone in the Yalan Palace breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Huai stood up and looked at the supreme man of the dynasty.
He said that the white face of this banished immortal was more suitable for him, it was really amazing. He had seen so many handsome men and beautiful women, but no one could compare to him.
Rong Cheng looked down at Wei Jiayun, but his mind was completely drawn to the burning gaze behind him. Here it comes again, this damn eunuch dared to look at him like that.
"Xianfei, I have something else to do in the previous court. I will come to see you another day."
After that, Rong Cheng walked towards the palace gate, "Chen Huai, you follow me too, I have something to tell you."
Chen Huai secretly said that the fish had taken the bait, and hurriedly bid farewell to Concubine Xian and followed.
Sure enough, when passing a deserted corner of a garden, Rong Cheng stopped and waved his hand to dismiss the people behind him.
"You are so bold that you dare to mention the album in front of Concubine Xian, and even use my name as an excuse. What do you want to do? Tell me, otherwise I will punish you severely today."
As expected, a beautiful woman is pleasing to the eye even when she is angry. However, his life is more important now. Chen Huai looked directly at Rong Cheng, and after checking that there was no one around, he expressed his judgment.
Rong Cheng listened in silence, his eyes deep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a moment, he asked, "Are you sure it's really General Pei?"
"Yes, just go to his house and search it."
Rong Cheng shook his head slightly and sneered, "What do you think the Taiwei Mansion is? Can you search it just like that? How naive!"
Chen Huai had come to this point, and there was nothing he could not take. A dark light flashed in his eyes:
"Maybe there's no need to search, it would be more appropriate to say house search"
As soon as these words came out, Rong Cheng's eyes were full of shock, "You, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course, the general is a traitor. He has repeatedly used his military achievements to contradict you. I can't stand it anymore."
Chen Huai knelt down and said: "I am willing to be a vanguard and serve the emperor with all my heart and soul until my death."
Rong Cheng looked at him for a long time, then walked away without saying anything.
Chen Huai was not in a hurry. This was not a trivial matter. This handsome emperor was a very thoughtful person, so it was normal for him not to believe him. In order to express his loyalty to Rong Cheng, he still did not leave the palace. He sat on the bed in the Silijian room and practiced his Qigong all night.
At dawn, there was no assassination, and Chen Huai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had escaped for the time being.
Since the emperor did not silence me last night, it is very likely that he listened to what I said. Now all I need is the right timing.
Two days passed in anxiety, and suddenly news came from the previous dynasty that the Grand Marshal Pei An actually brought a knife to the court!
Chen Huai dropped the account book of the Imperial Household Department in his hand to the ground, and looked at Xiao Anzi with sharp eyes:
"Is what you said true? Did Pei An really bring a knife to court?"
Xiao Anzi patted his chest and assured:
"Godfather, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? I heard the ministers talking behind the palace gates, saying that it might be related to some corruption case this time."
Chen Huai thought to himself, a corruption case? Could it be the corruption case of Wu Shiliang, the Third Secretary, that has been making a lot of noise in Beijing recently?
As far as he knew, Wu Shiliang was in a high position, second only to the prime minister and the privy councilor, in charge of the three departments of salt and iron, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Finance, which was equivalent to half of the national treasury of the Daqian Dynasty. The case involved a wide range of people, and more than a dozen corrupt officials were found in more than two months, but what did this have to do with Pei An?
In the Purple Palace, Rong Cheng, wearing a crown and a tiara, sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look on his face. He looked at Pei An, the first of the generals, with a cold light in his eyes:
"General Pei, why did you blatantly violate palace rules and bring a knife to court today?"
Jinyiwei Commander Yang Xuan knelt down before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have tried to dissuade him many times, but the Grand Commandant..."
Pei An looked down on Yang Xuan's cowardly look, and slammed the knife and scabbard to the ground with a loud thump, saying:
"Your Majesty, I am a rough man. Every time I fight on the battlefield, I always keep my sword with me. I am afraid of delaying my attendance at court, so I can only bring the sword with me. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
Considerate?
This is not forgiveness, it is a blatant disregard for the emperor.
Prime Minister Wei Chen looked at Pei An, a man with a red face and rough appearance, and his beard was fluttering with anger. Just as he was about to stand up and list his crimes of disrespect, an urgent report suddenly came from the door.
A prison official stumbled over the palace door and fell in, kneeling on the ground with sweat all over his forehead:
"Report, Your Majesty, the Grand Commandant, he just went to the Heavenly Prison and hacked to death Wu Shiliang and more than ten people involved in the case. Even the Admiral Shang Zhi who was in charge of solving the case was killed."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and the discussions in the Zichen Hall almost blew the roof off.
Wei Chen took the lead and was the first to point at Pei An and scold:
"You are so bold, Pei An, you secretly killed corrupt officials and imperial officials. You are so bold and your crime is unforgivable."
When the ministers looked at his knife at this moment, they finally understood what it meant to drink blood, and they all retreated to the other side in panic.
Pei An sneered at this, and stood there with his head held high, without any regret at all, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the case of Wu Shiliang has been solved for more than two months. Not only did you not punish him severely, but you only put him in jail and detained his relatives. The people outside are already complaining. I am also doing this to eliminate harm for the people."
"Pah!"
Wei Chen stared at Pei An coldly:
"Is it because the people are complaining, or is it because you, Taiwei Pei, are guilty and afraid that if you continue to investigate this matter, you will be implicated? It is still unknown!"
Pei An was furious when he heard this, and he drew the knife in his hand immediately. There was still undried blood on the knife, and a strong smell of blood wafted out, which was very creepy.
Yang Xuan and two teams of Jinyiwei immediately surrounded the emperor and drew their swords to confront him. The ministers were also frightened by Pei An's actions and scattered.
Imperial Censor Yan Zheng stood up and said righteously, "Pei An, you dare to commit treason, what crime should you be punished for?"
The archers outside the Purple Palace were already in position. Pei An's eyes rolled and he knelt down immediately:
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of killing Wu Shiliang and the others. When I went to the prison early in the morning to ask them to confess, they insulted you in front of me, which made me so angry that I killed them."
Rong Cheng's face flashed with sneer when he heard this. He stretched out his hand to push the Jinyiwei away, stood up and walked to the front, looking down at Pei An below:
"Then according to what Lord Pei said, you are sincere to me and have no selfish motives at all?"
Without giving Pei An a chance to reply, Wei Chen bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, this is just Pei An's excuse. If this is true, why did he kill the Admiral Shang Zhi who was in charge of investigating the case? Could he be disrespectful?"
