Chapter 538 Accounting
"I can't rest!"

The emperor patted the table again, glared at Gao Ming, and gritted his teeth: "Let the inner guards investigate, within three days...within ten days, let me check clearly, clearly!"

The emperor originally wanted to say three days, but he did not completely lose his mind after all. After thinking about it for a while, he could understand that Yueqing is too far away from Jiankang, and three days may not be enough for a round trip.

"You tell Lu Sheng!"

In the emperor's tone, there was boundless anger: "If we can't find out the reason for this matter, and if I can't explain it to me, he should stop working as a commander and write a letter to resign!"

Lu Sheng, the commander of the mysterious organization of internal guards, is also the closest knife to the emperor, and the absolute loyalist of His Majesty the emperor.

In order to maintain his independence and not be swayed by any court forces or external forces, this Commander Lu almost never showed his face, and even entered the palace quietly. Few people in the court have seen his Lushan Mountain true colors.

At least Shen Yi had never seen it before.

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Gao Ming again, and said coldly: "You big eunuch, don't do it either!"

Hearing this sentence, Gao Ming shivered suddenly.

As a palace servant in the palace, he is no doubt under a few people in the palace now, above ten thousand people, but it is all because of the presence of the holy family, if one day he loses the holy family, he will be abandoned by the emperor .

Then his fate will be far more miserable than that of ordinary eunuchs.

After all, in these years, in order to consolidate his position, he actually offended many people.

Once you fall from this position, you will definitely fall terribly.

Gao Ming's psychological quality is still very good. Although he trembled in his heart, he quickly calmed himself down. He looked up at the emperor tremblingly, and then bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, the inner guards are already investigating this matter. , I believe that His Majesty will give you a complete answer soon..."

Eunuch Gao swallowed, with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that this matter may not be the work of my courtiers. Your Majesty must calm down and take care of the dragon's body..."

The emperor said "the sky has turned upside down", because he felt that the people inside Chen Guo did it.

The people inside the Chen Kingdom didn't pay attention to him as the emperor, so they did things like murdering imperial envoys and murdering Shen Yi.

To put it bluntly, the emperor subconsciously felt that this matter was done by the Zhao faction.

Even, he had already thought of confronting the Zhao family head-on just now.

This was because the anger surged up, causing His Majesty the Emperor to get a little overwhelmed for a while.

After hearing Gao Ming's words, the emperor looked coldly at the other people in Ganlu Hall, expressionless: "You all stand down."

"Yes…"

At this time, the rest in the Ganlu Hall were all middle and senior eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the ones who accompanied him in the Ganlu Hall on weekdays were not purple-clothed eunuchs, and they were only one step away from the purple-clothed eunuchs.

The eunuchs all glanced at Eunuch Gao in unison, then bent over and backed away.

After everyone had left, the emperor sat back in his seat. He gave Gao Ming a cold look, expressionless: "What do you mean, Bei Qi did this?"

After Gao Ming hesitated for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that this matter should be done by Bei Qi..."

The word "should" was slightly emphasized in Gao Ming's tone.

Then his words actually have two meanings.

The first meaning is naturally the literal meaning.

And the second meaning is... Regardless of whether this incident was done by Bei Qi, it is "best" to characterize it as being done by Bei Qi.

In this way, an internal conflict in Chen Guo can be avoided.

After all, if it is confirmed that this matter was done by the Zhao Clan, no matter what angle you look at, His Majesty the Emperor will not tolerate it any longer.

At that time, the imperial court will have to face the slowly growing Zhao Clan head-on. Once the Zhao Clan is unwilling to lead the neck and kill them, then a drastic change about the Huaihe Navy will become unstoppable.

If one is not careful, Chen country's northern border defense will be wiped out.

If the situation is worse, it is that the Zhao faction surrendered to the enemy, and the pressure on the Nanchen court will immediately become infinite.

Whether Guozuo can continue is still unknown.

To put it bluntly, Gao Ming believes that neither the court nor the emperor is ready to turn against the Zhao family at this moment, so no matter what happens at this moment, they cannot turn against the Zhao family.

To maintain the status quo, no matter how the Zhao Clan has an idea, it will come out of nowhere.

Once the imperial court takes action against the Zhao clan, the Zhao clan may be "forced to rebel".

In other words, under such circumstances, Shen Yi's assassination "should" be determined to be the work of those barbarians in Northern Qi.

"A good one should be!"

The emperor was intelligent by nature, so he could understand the meaning hidden in his big companion's words. He sneered: "Then according to Eunuch Gao's intention, there is no need to investigate this matter, and just announce to the outside world that the Northern Qi Dynasty is going to kill my imperial envoy Chen." that is!"

Chief Eunuch Gao sighed, bowed his head deeply, and said, "No matter what decision His Majesty makes, this servant will always follow His Majesty until death..."

The emperor took several deep breaths to calm down his breathing. He sat back in his seat and remained silent for a long time.

"Let the inner guards investigate first. No matter how this matter is handled in the end, they will always give me the truth."

"Fortunately, Shen Qi is lucky this time."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "If Shen Qi dies in such an inexplicable way, what I have planned for two or three years will be dead almost immediately!"

"If that's the case, I will never forgive him, Lu Sheng!"

Eunuch Gao bowed his head deeply and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will go meet Commander Lu and discuss the situation..."

"Communicate what?"

The emperor was expressionless, and said coldly: "What are you communicating with him? Teach him how to lie to me, right?"

Gao Ming knelt down on the ground again, touching his head to the ground: "I dare not..."

The emperor snorted coldly, and glanced at Gao Ming: "You shouldn't be in charge of things, don't be smart, this time, no matter how the inner guards investigate and find out, you don't want to ask."

Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes, and after calmly thinking for a while, he said lightly: "Shen Qi, I also want to give him an attitude. You can choose, whether you go to Yueqing or let Lu Sheng Go to Yueqing?"

Gao Ming was silent for a while, then bowed his head deeply and said, "Return to Your Majesty, since this matter is the matter of the inner guards, let Commander Lu do the hard work..."

The emperor snorted again: "Hard work?"

However, after he only said these two words, he didn't continue, but changed the subject: "If you want to see Lu Sheng, go see him and tell him for me, I want to know about Yueqing What, who did it?"

"Tell him again..."

"I want Shen Qi to live well, and I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again."

"If Shen Qi dies one day, you just let him dig a hole and bury himself, and you don't have to come back to see me."

Eunuch Gao nodded his head one by one, responding in fear.

"Okay, you go and do it now."

The emperor was expressionless: "Before Lu Sheng leaves, let him come to the palace to meet me and give me a charter."

Eunuch Gao responded respectfully, turned around and retreated.

After Gao Ming left, the emperor was the only one left in the Ganlu Hall.

His Majesty the Emperor looked to the north, with a cold light in his eyes.

"If your family really did it this time, I will still wipe your ass..."

"But this account..."

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath and murmured.

"I will write it down for you one by one..."
