There are many lanterns hanging in the arcades, like long dragons dancing in the palace.
Groups of imperial guards holding lanterns, or eunuchs and palace maids busy serving their masters were wandering around.
As the center of power of the Dayu Dynasty, even late at night, the imperial palace could not have the same scenery as the folk.
Deep inside, there is a palace that is brightly lit. The gentle light of the oil lamp spreads throughout the room.
This is Liang Hanmin’s imperial study room.
From the perspective of work and rest, Liang Hanmin's diligence is impeccable.
Only at this moment, outside the imperial study room, several serving eunuchs and imperial guards with swords were kneeling on the ground tremblingly.
The emperor was angry again.
The emperor was furious.
In recent times, the emperor has been quite irritable, and he no longer looks like the same person as the emperor who once looked like an abyss and a sea.
Is it because things are not going well on the border?
But until now, although the armies of Liao, Jin and Feng were hoarding outside the pass, haven't they yet launched a conflict with the defenders of Dayu?
…
Inside the royal study.
The old eunuch Liu Eunuch with long and thin eyebrows was also prostrate on the ground at this moment.
Seeing Liang Hanmin, who was so furious that he threw his precious inkstone and pen holder on the ground, he didn't think there was anything abnormal.
He understands Liang Hanmin's character far better than the eunuchs and guards outside.
The emperor is still the same emperor as before, and he is still excellent at cultivating his character. Just this matter, plus the border issues, even a god can't help but get angry.
In front of a little Lu Fang, why did King Rong Liang Shi and the masters of the imperial court suffer losses one after another?
How could these remnants of the previous dynasty really become spirits?
Chen Pingping and her gang are back.
Six masters died.
Before rushing to the imperial study room to report, the old eunuch learned what happened from Chen Pingping's mouth. He knew that Tang Jin, Tang Yin, and Li Jiantian had rescued Lu Liang, and that Liang Shi was defeated by Wu Jingchuan in the Chengdu government office.
It was expected that Liang Hanmin would definitely be furious.
He is almost the top expert in the entire Chengdu County!
That is very important in the whole of Dayu.
Moreover, God knows what kind of commotion these remnants will cause when they gain a foothold in Chengdu.
"Where is Chen Pingping?"
Liang Hanmin, whose chest was heaving with anger, had his eyes flickering for an unknown amount of time. He squinted at the old eunuch kneeling on the ground and finally spoke.
He doesn't speak when he's angry.
Speaking at this time shows that he has regained his composure.
"In the old slave yard."
The old eunuch replied.
There was no fluctuation in the voice, but I was sighing secretly in my heart.
In the past, Liang Hanmin always asked him to handle Wu Gou's affairs and would not meet with Chen Pingping. However, Wu Gou's successive defeats had already made Liang Hanmin disappointed with him.
Or perhaps, the trust is no longer there.
"Take me to see him."
Sure enough, Liang Hanmin then said.
"yes."
The old eunuch didn't dare hesitate at all and agreed immediately.
Then he stood up and led Liang Hanmin to the courtyard where he lived.
On the way, the guards, maids, and eunuchs all fell to their knees on the ground.
Soon, we arrived outside the small, inconspicuous room in the old eunuch's courtyard.
Liang Hanmin paused slightly at the door and glanced at the old eunuch again.
The old eunuch understood the idea, bowed and opened the door for Liang Hanmin, and said: "Your Majesty, I will wait outside."
I sighed in my heart, Liang Hanmin's distrust of him suddenly reached such an extent. Once you become emperor, your character will really change.
After Liang Hanmin nodded, the old eunuch went out of the courtyard.
Liang Hanmin walked into the room.
"My deputy Wu Gou, Chen Pingping, comes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
Chen Pingping heard the movement at the door. As soon as Liang Hanmin's feet entered the door, he knelt on the ground.
"Get up."
Liang Hanmin said.
Chen Pingping raised her head slightly and faced Liang Hanmin's cold face.
Liang Hanmin said: "Chengdu government failed, what happened?"
"I am incompetent, I beg the emperor to punish me!"
Chen Pingping knelt on the ground again.
"Talking about things."
Liang Hanmin said indifferently.
Chen Pingping lowered her head and said: "On the order of the envoy, I led the twelve masters of the general hall to Chengdu Mansion. Since then, I have been secretly observing the remnants of the Xishan Yechuan. In addition... there are also Wu Gou An Tang and the watchman from Chengdu County.
The movements of the masters. On the 11th, His Royal Highness King Rong led his masters and people from Wu Gou An Tang of Chengdu County to the Xishan Yechuan. I also led the people there to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."
He said it politely.
In fact, the only way to prevent fish from slipping through the net is to see if Liang Shi has compassion for Lu Fang and others. If so, his task is to complete the "make-up" job.
"But before we arrived at the stronghold where the remnants of the previous dynasty gathered, His Highness Prince Rong suddenly led his people back. I wanted to follow behind, but I found that the remnants in the stronghold were hurriedly heading west. I didn't understand why His Highness Prince Rong led his troops
When the master suddenly turned back, I didn't dare to move lightly. It wasn't until those remnants had reached the territory of Gaochang Kingdom that I led my troops to take action. I didn't expect that the mantis was stalking the cicada, and the oriole was behind us. Behind us, we were also following Chengdu.
The guardians of the Tang Sect in the county are Tang Jin and Tang Yin, Tianxiao Sword Sect Li Jiantian, Jianzhong Jianjiu, and Gao Moli from the Sword King's Mansion."
Chen Pingping felt a little aggrieved when she said this, "I am incompetent and no match for them. They can only retreat after the fight."
Not to mention Li Jiantian, even Jianjiu, Tang Jin and others are the top masters in the world.
Wu Gou, there are many masters recruited by Da Gengmen, but many of them have forcibly improved their strength in the later stage, and there is still some gap compared with these masters.
Liang Hanmin squinted his eyes and thought.
After a while, he turned and walked outside.
He didn't expect to hear any answer from Chen Pingping that was different from the old eunuch's. He just wanted to see if there were any flaws on Chen Pingping's part.
Whether there is an old eunuch or not, there is a possibility that Chen Pingping could fool him.
Judging from Chen Pingping's performance just now, he could be sure that Chen Pingping was not lying.
After sitting in the position of emperor for so many years, he has this vision. Not to mention that he was already a great person before he ascended to this position.
"Follow me back to the imperial study."
Outside the courtyard, Liang Hanmin said something to the old eunuch waiting outside the door.
His tone was much gentler than before.
"yes."
The old eunuch bowed and agreed.
Knowing that Liang Hanmin's doubts about him disappeared.
The feelings cultivated like licking a calf over the years are still useful after all.
It's just that if things go wrong, they go wrong.
The old eunuch followed Liang Hanmin. Just by listening to Liang Hanmin's steps, he could tell that Liang Hanmin was still in a very unhappy mood. He spoke softly and said, "Your Majesty... I want to personally lead people to Chengdu Mansion."
