Volume Two: The Wind and Cloud in Kyoto Chapter 378: Meeting the Holy One(1/2)

After staying in the mansion for a few days, people came to the palace.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet Huang Zhang.

After Luo Yingying heard about it, she immediately found Huang Zhang.

Her idea is very simple, and she hopes that Huang Zhang can rescue her father.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

After saying that, Huang Zhang left with the people from the palace.

This time, the person who came to pick up Huang Zhang was a little eunuch, who came here under the escort of a group of imperial guards.

Maybe he had heard of Huang Zhang's reputation for a long time, so he respected him very much, almost whatever Huang Zhang asked and what he answered.

"How has Eunuch Hong been doing during this period?"

When he heard Huang Zhang ask about Eunuch Hong about Eunuch Hong, the little eunuch replied with a smile: "After Eunuch Hong comes back, he is highly valued by His Majesty. Now he is the Central Eunuch."

"Oh? I didn't expect that Eunuch Hong would have such luck!"

"That's thanks to His Highness the Great Prince."

"Thanks to me? What does it have to do with me?"

"Eunuch Hong was rewarded by His Majesty because he made contributions to escorting His Highness. And Eunuch Hong is also telling us the little ones about the place where His Highness is magical. We little ones admire His Highness very much."

Hearing the little eunuch say this, Huang Zhang just smiled. If he lets him know what he has done over the past year, he would probably not be as simple as admiration.

After leaving the prince's mansion for about half an hour, I finally saw the palace.

The imperial city of Suguo is built very grandly, and just a glance makes people unforgettable.

However, what attracted Huang Zhang the most were the imperial guards guarding the imperial city. These imperial guards were the most elite warriors Huang Zhang had seen so far, and even the Thousand-Tyrannical Army could not catch up.

That kind of energy and equipment are comparable to the commander of the Qianya Army.

Due to financial resources, the imperial army usually wears some special military uniforms and does not have protection. The only force with some strength will be equipped with leather armor, such as the Qianya Army, which is equipped with a set of leather armor and leather goods, and then has all bows and crossbows, and often updates weapons. The troops that can meet this requirement can already be called elite.

But the imperial guards in front of him are different. They are all black iron armor, and the cold light on their weapons makes people feel scared, not to mention that these imperial guards are fat and strong. If he had such a unit, there would be no need to be many, as long as only a thousand people, he would be satisfied.

If there are a thousand imperial guards for him, wouldn’t the world be allowed to travel?

But I can only think about this in my heart.

When he entered the palace, Huang Zhang met the head of the empire in Fude Hall.

Your Majesty is in his prime, just over forty, and he should have a strong physique, but Huang Zhang looked over and said that the other party was not as good as forty, and he was like an old man about sixty years old.

Could it be that the harem was hollowed out?

Huang Zhang couldn't help but feel evil in his heart.

Of course, what Huang Zhang was thinking, the Emperor in front of him naturally could not know. He just saw Huang Zhang like this and nodded.

"Your Majesty, I've put you outside this year and it's been a pain for you."

When Huang Zhang heard this, he casually said, "It's okay, it's not hard."

Hearing Huang Zhang's words, Eunuch Hong, who was beside the emperor, was shocked.

At this moment, Huang Zhang didn't look at all respectful, as if he was talking to her normally. The rules should not be messed up, and Eunuch Hong couldn't help but hint.

But Huang Zhang stood and spoke as if he hadn't seen it.

"I wonder what my father asked me back this time to do?"

When the emperor heard this, his face looked a little bad.

"I just wanted to exercise you when I was letting you out. I didn't expect that you would stay in the wilderness for a long time and even forget the most basic royal etiquette. It's only been a year. If you were to stay for a few more years, wouldn't you be like a savage?"

When Huang Zhang heard the emperor's accusations inside and outside the words, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Why did my father say that Wucheng is a wild land? It is the territory of our Su Kingdom. All the places shining with the bright moon in our Su Kingdom are educated by our dynasty, and they are all the people in the court. How could I say barbarism? Isn't my father's words look down on the people of Sunan and the ability of Su Kingdom to educate?"

Eunuch Hong, who was standing beside him, had already been shocked by Huang Zhang's bold remarks.

Let me ask, who dares to contradict Your Majesty in person? Even the second prince did not have the courage! Eunuch Hong was praising Huang Zhang for being so powerful. Now it seems that he is simply a naughty boy and an ignorant man.

"Hahaha, I am worthy of being my prince!"

But who knew that after hearing Huang Zhang's remarks, His Majesty the Emperor was not only not angry, but instead laughed.

Seeing the contrast between the emperor, Huang Zhang narrowed his eyes.

He wasn't sure if this guy was pretending or was really testing himself.

It is said that the intention is unpredictable, but it really gives him this feeling. After just one meeting, he couldn't see clearly what this cheap emperor was thinking.

"You were ignorant at the beginning and stayed at home every day to mess with the useless pills you had. I felt a headache, so I wanted to pull you out to experience it, so that you could understand the sufferings of people's livelihood. I didn't have much plan to do it now, but now it seems that it is really useful!"

When Eunuch Hong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is still wise, but the eldest prince is now promising."

After Eunuch Hong was with the emperor for so long, his ability to observe his expressions was naturally excellent. In just a short moment, he understood the emperor's thoughts and followed his thoughts.

Hearing Eunuch Hong’s compliment, the emperor also enjoyed it very much.

I don’t know, I really thought that he sent Huang Zhang to the border like a slap in his hair to train him!

If Huang Zhang hadn't come to this body in time, he would have lost two sons now!

Tell, Huang Zhang finally understood why this empire was so turbulent.

This old guy seems wise, but he is actually stupid enough.

If he said that just now was to give himself a step forward, it means he still has rescue. If he really did what he thought, it would be really helpless.

It also calls it a training for yourself? Who treats his son as a training for the bitter and cold place? He doesn't think he will be grateful to him, right?

"Of course, you don't have to thank me. What I did is just for the sake of Dasu's country."

“…”

The old emperor's words completely made Huang Zhang speechless.

He didn't want to thank the other party at all!

"I believe you have heard of the news of your second brother's death. You have also been attacked recently. Humph! Do those guys who are not open to their eyes really think I am a soft persimmon? Since you dare to attack my son, you have to bear my anger!"

After saying that, the old emperor slapped the table in front of him, which scared everyone around him.

"The father knows who attacked me?" Huang Zhang tentatively said.

After hearing Huang Zhang's inquiry, the old emperor immediately took back his hand and said lightly: "The Tingwei Mansion will find out about this."

“…”

After talking for a long time, this old guy didn't know either! Huang Zhang thought he was a force that even the emperor could not offend? After doing it for a long time, he didn't know it himself.

Yes, if he knew, there wouldn't be a attack on the prince one after another.

Huang Zhang bowed to the emperor.

"Father, I have a heartless request!" Huang Zhang said suddenly.

"Oh? What, let's hear it?"

"I want to assist the Tingwei Mansion in investigating the assassination case. I believe there should be many hidden information here. As the person involved, I need to figure out everything!"

Hearing Huang Zhang's words, the old emperor touched his chin and then looked at Eunuch Hong.

Eunuch Hong didn't know what the emperor meant when he saw him, so he had to smile awkwardly.

"Okay, I agree. Since you are attacked, you should be the only one who can find out the matter yourself, so that I can see how much progress you have made outside this year!"

When Huang Zhang heard this, he immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Father! My son will definitely live up to what his father wants."

Huang Zhang has just returned to Kyoto and urgently needs a position, otherwise he would be just a mere prince and has no power at all.

He was not sure what this cheap guy was thinking. If the other party just wanted to come back and read more, wouldn't he be very passive?

Now that he has an identity on par with the Tingwei, he can do a lot of things with this identity!

This is also the reason why Huang Zhang made this request. Of course, there is another part of it that he wants to rely on this identity to rescue Luo Yingying's father.

After all, if he asked directly, the emperor might not agree, but Huang Zhang could naturally transfer her father out by relying on the power to assist in investigating the case.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhang bowed to the emperor again.

"Father, my son has another request!" Huang Zhang continued.

Hearing Huang Zhang's requests one after another, the emperor was obviously a little unhappy.

I just came back, why are you always making requests?

However, the emperor suppressed his restlessness and asked, "What are the requirements?"

"Since I assisted the Tingwei Mansion in investigating the case, I would directly fight with the group of people who assassinated my second brother and I. Ke Erchen just came back and was unfamiliar with Kyoto. If I were ambushed by those thieves during the investigation..."

The meaning of Huang Zhang's words is already very clear. His investigation this time is equivalent to fighting with that group of people directly. Since the other party dares to assassinate him once, there will definitely be a second time. His safety cannot be guaranteed!

When the old emperor heard this, he nodded unconsciously. He felt that Huang Zhang’s words were reasonable.

"Since that's the case, I'll let the imperial guards protect your safety."
To be continued...
