Chapter 22 Hundreds of Officials Break into the Palace

After Zhao Gao and Jin He secretly took a look at Cao Zhengchun, they felt indescribably shocked.

Both of them are not ordinary people, and their own strength is not low.

Especially Jin He, who is a late-stage first-grade grand master, is considered to be the top group in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

But when Cao Zhengchun appeared just now, they didn't feel any breath at all.

This shows that Cao Zhengchun's strength is unfathomable.

"When did a strange and powerful eunuch appear next to the emperor?" Zhao Gao and Jin He were secretly shocked.

"You heard what I just said! I will leave this matter to you to investigate, and the two of them will assist."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was kneeling on the ground and said.

Originally, Zhou Chen didn't plan to expose Cao Zhengchun's sharp knife so quickly. He planned to let Cao Zhengchun secretly prepare the Dongchang first.

But the death of Tutor Yan Hua disrupted Zhou Chen's plan.

Zhou Chen needs someone he absolutely trusts to investigate this matter, so Jin He won't talk about it for now. He is loyal enough, but unfortunately he is not good at dark ways.

As for Zhao Gao, Zhou Chen had never absolutely believed him.

Zhou Chen was not stupid. He could inexplicably poison the Taifu to death in a heavily guarded prison. This was obviously an internal problem.

Then, Zhou Chen could only leave this matter to Cao Zhengchun, a person he completely trusted, to investigate.

"Old slave, I obey the order." Cao Zhengchun responded.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Gao again; "Zhao Gao, you didn't find out Zhang De's matter for me, and now the incident of the Taifu being poisoned to death has happened. You have disappointed me. It seems that the internal guards are no longer there."

It is necessary to exist.”

"From now on, the internal guards will be abolished and the personnel of the internal guards will be handed over to Cao Zhengchun."

"As for Zhao Gao, please help Cao Zhengchun to find out about the Taifu for me. If you can't avenge your crime and make meritorious service, then don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship."

Zhou Chen said coldly.

Since his plan to let Cao Zhengchun act secretly was disrupted, Cao Zhengchun had to be exposed in advance.

Then Zhou Chen doesn't have to hide anything anymore, and he just takes this opportunity to deal with the matter of the inner guard.

With Cao Zhengchun's methods, Zhou Chen believed that Cao Zhengchun would definitely be able to handle the matter of the internal guards.

When Zhao Gao heard Zhou Chen's words, his expression changed slightly.

However, he immediately returned to normal; "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely assist Eunuch Cao with all his strength and make meritorious deeds."

Even if Zhao Gao didn't want to do it anymore.

At this time, I didn’t dare to reveal anything.

Zhao Gao knew that if he dared to hesitate even a little bit, the result of waiting for him would probably be to keep company with Zhang De.

Jin He next to him was shocked.

Although he looked calm on the outside, he was sighing in his heart.

Zhao Gao is finished.

Even if it is really found out that the Taifu was poisoned and killed in Tianlao, Zhao Gao will only be able to save his life at most.

As for Zhao Gao's future and power, it can be said to be bleak.

Thinking of this, Jin He couldn't help but worry, wouldn't the emperor also take down his position as the commander of the Forbidden Army?

Sudden.

at this time.

A chamberlain eunuch trotted in with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. News came from the palace gate that hundreds of officials broke into the palace." The eunuch who ran in said anxiously.

What?

Hundreds of officials invade the palace?

The words of the chamberlain eunuch caused the expressions of several people in Yangxin Hall to change.

Since ancient times, the palace has symbolized imperial power and is the place where the Holy Spirit cannot offend.

If you dare to attack the palace gate, you will be regarded as a traitor and the nine tribes will be killed.

"What's going on? Please explain it clearly to me." Zhou Chen looked at the eunuch and said in a deep voice.

When the eunuch heard this, he did not dare to neglect and immediately said: "Your Majesty, news just came from the palace gate. The prime minister and the general broke into the palace angrily with all the civil and military officials. They are now heading to the Yangxin Palace.

The direction is coming.”

"Damn it, the palace guards are here!"

"What do they do for food? Weren't they stopped?"

Zhou Chen asked with an ugly look on his face.

"Your Majesty, according to the messenger from the Palace Guards, they were unable to stop the officials. Commander Wu happened to be there at the time and did not dare to stop him by force, so he let the officials enter the palace." The eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to look.

He looked at Zhou Chen and said.

"waste."

"As a palace guard, you can't even see through the gate. What's the use of them?"

Zhou Chen said angrily.

The Imperial Palace Guards are responsible for the security of the entire palace, and now hundreds of officials have easily broken into the palace.

If all the officials rebelled, would he be safe as an emperor?

Zhou Chen glanced coldly at Jin He who was kneeling below. He asked Jin He to take charge of the Imperial Army, with the purpose of making the Imperial Army a loyal supporter of the emperor who was protecting him.

But now it seems that Jin He has disappointed him a little.

The Imperial Guard is still useless.

The kneeling Jin He also felt Zhou Chen's cold and dissatisfied gaze, and his face was a little ugly. He said bravely: "Your Majesty, I will call the imperial army to stop the officials right now."

"late."

Zhou Chen shook his head.

It's too late to remedy the situation.

If the officials had not broken into the palace, but were blocked from the palace gate, there would still be room for maneuver.

But now, hundreds of officials have broken into the palace.

It would be unreasonable to ask the Imperial Guard to stop the officials.

"Jin He, if you can't take charge of the Forbidden Army, you can tell me directly and I will ask Lu Bu to replace you." Zhou Chen looked at Jin He and said coldly.

When Jin He heard this, cold sweat immediately broke out on his head.

Although Zhou Chen was not overly angry with him, his cold tone still made him feel a little chilly in his heart.

"Okay, all three of you, go and investigate the matter of Taifu! You must find out for me."

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

Cao Zhengchun, Zhao Gao, and Jin He left the Yangxin Hall side by side.

…

On the palace gate wall.

A middle-aged general in armor stood on the city wall, looking in the direction of the palace, his eyes flickering.

This middle-aged general is called Wu Qing, and he is one of the three commanders of the Forbidden Army.

Wu Qing was from the Wu family, and belonged to the same clan as General Wu Jin and Queen Wu Ying.

When Queen Wu Ying came to court, she placed many people in various places, and Wu Qing was one of them.

"Commander Wu, if we just let all the officials into the palace, everything will be fine!" A young commander looked at Wu Qing with an uneasy look and asked.

When Wu Qing heard this, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "What can happen? Can these hundreds of officials still rebel?"

"Besides, we can't stop this kind of thing. We can't really draw swords against the prime minister, the general, and their officials!"

When the young commander heard it, he felt it was right.

Facing the menacing looks of the generals, prime ministers and other officials, they really didn't have the confidence to draw their swords against them.

But the young commander still felt uneasy in his heart.
