Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

"Take my token and give it to me to continue the investigation. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to disobey the order will be executed."

Zhou Chen casually threw a token to Zhao Gao.

This is the imperial gold medal representing imperial power.

Seeing orders is like seeing God.

As long as you hold this token, it is equivalent to representing the imperial power, and you have the right to kill first and then play.

This right is not insignificant.

No matter how fatuous and incompetent the emperor is, he would not give it easily.

But now Zhou Chen easily gave it to Zhao Gao.

"besides."

"Let me thoroughly investigate the disaster relief in the four northwestern prefectures. I want to know the specific details, especially where the relief money has gone."

"I only give you three days. After three days, I want to see the result."

Zhou Chen said in a cold voice.

The right he gave.

But he wants results.

The reason why he didn't talk about it in the court before was because the most important thing right now is to relieve the disaster and prevent the civil unrest from expanding.

But this does not mean that he, the emperor, will not pursue this matter.

Dare to use disaster relief money?

Dare to abandon the city and flee?

He will never let such an official go.

"The old slave takes orders."

Zhao Gao accepted the gold medal from the imperial court with a face full of cold sweat, feeling distressed in his heart.

This is true power.

But it is also a reminder.

He didn't think the emperor had trusted him to such an extent.

If you are not careful, you will lose your head.

"Go to work! I'm waiting for your results." Then Zhou Chen waved his hand.

"The old slave resigns." Zhao Gao got up immediately and exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking at Zhao Gao's leaving back, Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes.

"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, whether you are black or white, I believe you will see soon."

With Zhang De's betrayal before, Zhou Chen was also very wary of Zhao Gao, the personal eunuch who had followed him for more than ten years.

He knows that it is often the most trusted person around you who is unsuspecting and can make you die quietly.

Just like the emperors who died inexplicably in the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, the Hongwan case and the drowning case were obviously caused by problems with the people around them.

Zhou Chen tapped the handle on the dragon chair regularly with his fingers, frowning.

Just now Zhao Gao said that the Great Zhou Neiwei has existed in name only, which is not good news.

You know, the inner guards are the eyes and ears of the emperors throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty to know the affairs of the world, and they have the responsibility of supervising all officials and patrolling the world.

Once there is no inner guard, the emperor is a blind and deaf man who can be manipulated by his officials.

If that is the case, then the emperor is not far from perishing.

This is a conclusion drawn throughout the ages.

Zhou Chen didn't want to become such a deaf and mute emperor, at the mercy of his ministers.

"It seems that the inner guard is no longer available."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

Not to mention that the inner guard existed in name only, some people put their hands into the inner guard.

Who dares to use such eyes and ears again.

Clean up?

It's better to start a new stove.

...

Qingfeng Palace.

The Queen's Palace, the head of the Sangong Sixth Court.

It means that the harem respects the phoenix.

Empress Wu Ying sat on the phoenix chair, looking at Wei Zhong who came back from inquiring about the news.

"You mean, the emperor has blatantly abolished the right of the second sage of the palace to come to court?"

Wu Ying asked with an ugly face.

"Back to your mother, the emperor not only blatantly abolished your mother's right to listen to the government in the court, but also sent the Tai Tuo to the prison..."

Wei Zhong told the truth about what happened in the court today.

After hearing this, Wu Ying's face was cloudy and uncertain.

Originally, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, as long as the emperor did not formally decree to abolish her right to be the second sage, she would still have a chance.

But now, the last glimmer of hope was shattered.

With the imperial decree, there is no way to recover.

She, the queen of the second sage, was completely deprived of the right to listen to the government.

There is no room for maneuver.

"Damn it."

Wu Ying angrily threw the teacup next to him to the ground.

No matter how deep-minded she was, she couldn't hide the anger in her heart at this moment.

Wei Zhong and the maid next to him were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

They have never seen their master so disrespectful.

In their impression, no matter how big the matter was, their master never changed his face.

But today, she was angry.

"Any more news?"

Wu Ying suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Wei Zhong who was kneeling on the ground.

"Hui Niangniang, and Zhao Gao arrested many people, some of them are ours."

"Also, the emperor gave Zhao Gao a gold medal and gave him three days to thoroughly investigate the disaster relief in the four northwestern prefectures."

"Also, Jin He was ordered to take over the imperial army and replaced most of the guards in the palace. Anyone who dissented was executed."

Wei Zhongjiang told all the news he inquired about in detail.

After Wu Ying heard the words, his expression was extremely ugly.

None of these news no longer prove that the emperor is indeed different from before.

"It seems that our emperor has really changed."

Wu Ying's eyes flickered, and she looked at Wan'er next to her; "Is there any result for what I asked you to investigate?"

"Mother, those guards seem to have appeared out of nowhere, and they can't find any clues, only that the general's name is Lu Bu."

"As for the physical condition of the emperor, there is nothing."

Wan'er said immediately.

When Wu Ying left the emperor's bedroom before, he ordered her to investigate the details of Bingzhou Wolf Rider and Lu Bu.

By the way, let's find out what is going on with Zhou Chen, the emperor's physical condition.

Why does it suddenly look like he has recovered?

But after checking and checking, they didn't find any news, only Lu Bu's name was found.

Nothing else.

After hearing Wan'er's words, Wu Ying frowned involuntarily.

You know, she has eyes and ears all over the palace, and basically no trouble can be hidden from her.

How could it be impossible to find out the origin and details of the guards in the emperor's palace!

There is also no news about Zhou Chen's physical condition.

This made Wu Ying's doubts even stronger.

"In one night, what happened in the emperor's palace at that time?"

Wu Ying guessed.

For the first time, she felt that some things were beyond her control.

"Wei Zhong, find time to have a good chat with Zhao Gao, do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Ying gestured to Wei Zhong.

"The old slave understands."

A gleam flashed in Wei Zhong's eyes, and he immediately understood what his master meant.

This is to open a gap in Zhao Gao's body.

"As long as you know."

"In the past few days, you all pay attention to this palace, especially the emperor, and you must not relax at all."

Wu Ying said with a serious face.

"besides."

"Wan'er, let me continue to investigate. We must find out the origins of those guards and the specific situation of the emperor."

Wu Ying didn't believe it, with her arrangements over the years, she still couldn't find out these news.

"Yes, ma'am."

Wan'er and Wei Zhong said in response at the same time.
