During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

The day after Chuhe left the capital, Yuzhou's report finally arrived in the capital.

The emperor routinely read the reports sent by the governors of various states to understand the general situation of the place. It was originally a very easy task. When he saw that the above content related to the princess, his expression suddenly changed.

When he saw Wang He conquering Yuzhou City, he stood up in shock.

"Go and invite Sangong and the Six Ministers here."

Eunuch Fulin rarely saw the emperor in such a panic. He trembled and ran out quickly.

He called the chamberlain on duty at the door, "Go quickly and invite the Six Ministers and the Third Duke over. Be quick."

The chamberlain didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to find someone.

Eunuch Fulin turned around, with a faint smile on his lips, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

The emperor read the memorial over and over again, and finally threw it to the ground angrily.

The fold happened to hit Sangong's feet.

Everyone's hearts sank. His Majesty had never lost such a big temper before. Even before the incident in Huyang, His Majesty only cursed a few times.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the six ministers lowered their heads.

Some people are afraid, but some are not afraid. The censor of Zuodu gave advice, which is nothing more than asking the emperor to cultivate his body and mind, and not to get angry and throw things around when something happens. He should behave like a king of a country.

In the past, the emperor was very humbly accepting advice, so Zuodu Yushi spoke without any scruples, but this time the emperor's face was very ugly.

As he spoke, Zuodu Yushi also noticed something was wrong.

The Minister of the Ministry of War quickly stepped forward and picked up the folder on the ground. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, with whom he had a good relationship, came up to watch with him.

After the two of them finished reading the booklet, it was passed on to other people.

The emperor drank tea and his face became much better, but there was still anger in his chest.

"Wang He and his men have all gone to Yuzhou. What does the Ministry of War do for food?"

"I am aware of my guilt." The Minister of the Ministry of War went out to plead guilty aggrievedly.

But he was quite unconvinced in his heart. He didn't know why the king would be so bold and led his men to go to Yuzhou to assassinate the princess. Shouldn't it be the border general's negligence in this matter?

The border general should be blamed, how could you blame him?
But the Ministry of War controls the local troops and horses, and the border generals' negligence is also the responsibility of the Ministry of War. Besides, Yuzhou City was lost once. Anyway, it was his fault that he could not escape.

The Minister of War lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Seeing that he admitted his mistake so quickly, the emperor felt even more upset and scolded him.

The other ministers did not dare to speak when they saw this.

Although the emperor blamed the Minister of War, he also knew that it was not his fault. After losing his temper, he asked him to investigate as soon as possible to find out who was responsible for this, assisted Wang He to come to Jin Dynasty, and dismissed the generals who guarded Yuzhou City and brought him to justice.

Wang He only had a few hundred people, but he was in a deserted place.

There were only [-] troops stationed in Yuzhou, but a few hundred people destroyed the city. If word spread, the Jin Dynasty would lose face.

"I'll check it out when I get back."

The Minister of War knelt for more than an hour. When he got up, his legs felt numb. The Minister of Libu kindly gave him a hand, and the next moment the emperor called his name.

"Princess Huandu has sent people to contact the imperial court many times, but the news has all come to nothing. If Wang He is going to Huandu, is it possible that there are so many inns in Jin Dynasty that I can't even send a letter? Who is he? Were the officials along the way not aware of the obstruction in secret? How did your officials choose the people?"

The Minister of Civil Affairs wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will send someone to investigate right now and I will definitely give you an explanation."

"What's the use of explaining it to me? If Huanyu has something to do, you don't need to be the official minister." "Yes."

Zuodu Yushi, who had previously scolded the emperor, advised: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the people from the Ministry of Personnel alone will not be able to find out. It is better to let the Xing Ministry and Dali Temple coordinate the investigation."

The emperor thought for a while and agreed to the suggestion.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel originally did not want others to interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, but now that the matter has become so big and involves the safety of the princess, it is impossible for His Majesty to trust his department to investigate.

"Your Majesty, no matter who is found, Your Majesty will punish him severely." The Minister of Rites, who had been silent, suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The emperor was lucky, "No matter who is found, I will never tolerate it."

Having said this, his eyes fell lightly on the Minister of War.

"Wang He is dead. I'm afraid Wang Yuan will take action. The Ministry of War must be prepared in advance. If something goes wrong again..."

The Secretary of the Ministry of War knelt down, holding his injured leg, "Your Majesty, don't worry, if there is any mistake again, I will come to see you."

The emperor was satisfied with this.

At this time, the Minister of Rites spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has been forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for several days. Do you want to release him?"

Only then did the emperor remember that Luo Jingce was still kneeling in the ancestral hall. Hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he became determined again after a moment: "It's better to wait until the Huyang case is investigated clearly."

Having said this, the emperor said to Mr. Fulin: "Xuanhu offers wine."

"Whoo."

Everyone looked at each other, with many speculations running through their minds.

Two days later, Chuhe finally met the Yuzhou student group.

In the past few days, Princess Huandu seemed to be smiling happily, but in fact she was more cautious than anyone else. She did not dare to sleep too hard at night for fear that someone would kill her.

The moment she saw Chu He, Princess Huandu burst into tears and said, "Commander Chu."

Chu He's face was cold and his heart was warm. When he saw Princess Huandu crying so sadly, he was immediately at a loss. "Princess, don't cry. Your Majesty has sent me to pick you up."

Princess Huandu didn't want to lose her composure, but when she saw so many guards coming to pick her up, the grievances in her heart burst out in an instant. Her tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she cried in front of two thousand guards. stand up.

It feels like meeting family.

Before Chuhe came, Princess Huandu was collecting firewood with others. The reason why she collected firewood was mainly because she liked to light fires. Yes, during the past few days of journey, the princess had learned to light fires and ran far away.

When the imperial army saw the princess in disarray and firewood at her feet, she felt heartbroken.

Princess Huandu plays in the palace every day and knows many of the guards. In addition, the princess has a casual temperament and is good to people around her. Many people have received her favor.

Seeing how miserable the princess was, the anger in many people's hearts rose.

Even Chu He clenched his fists when he saw it, and asked softly: "Princess, where is the assassin?"

"..." Princess Huandu wiped away her tears, sobbing and speechless.

"Don't worry, princess. With me protecting the princess, those thieves won't dare to do anything wrong." Chu He said in a rough voice.

Princess Huandu nodded fiercely.
