Chapter 9 Chapter 009 I only give you three days

"Take my token and continue the investigation. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to disobey the order will be executed."

Zhou Chen casually threw a token to Zhao Gao.

This is a gold medal given by the emperor to represent the imperial power.

Seeing an order is like seeing an emperor.

As long as you hold this token, it is equivalent to representing the imperial power, and you have the right to kill first and then report later.

This kind of right is not insignificant.

No matter how stupid and incompetent the emperor is, he will not give it easily.

But now Zhou Chen easily gave it to Zhao Gao.

"besides."

"Let me thoroughly investigate the disaster relief in the four northwest prefectures. I want to know the specific details, especially where the disaster relief funds have gone."

"I only give you three days. After three days, I want to see the results."

Zhou Chen said coldly.

He gave the right.

But he wants results.

The reason why he didn't mention this matter in the court before was because the most important thing at the moment was to provide disaster relief and quell the chaos and prevent the civil unrest from spreading.

But this does not mean that he, the emperor, will not pursue the matter.

Dare to use disaster relief funds?

Dare to abandon the city and flee?

He would never let such an official go.

"Old slave, take your orders."

Zhao Gao took the imperial gold medal with a cold sweat on his face, feeling miserable in his heart.

This is true power.

But it’s also a reminder of life.

He didn't think that the emperor had trusted him to this extent.

If you're not careful, you'll lose your head.

"Go and do the work! I'm waiting for your results." Then Zhou Chen waved his hand.

"Old slave, please retire." Zhao Gao immediately stood up and exited the Yangxin Hall.

Looking at Zhao Gao's leaving figure, Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed.

"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, whether you are black or white, I believe you will know soon."

Following Zhang De's previous betrayal, Zhou Chen was also very wary of Zhao Gao, his personal eunuch who had been following him for more than ten years.

He knows that the people who can often make you die quietly are the most trusted people around you who are unprepared.

Just like the emperors who died inexplicably in the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, such as the red pill case and the drowning case, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the people around them.

Zhou Chen's fingers tapped the handle on the dragon chair regularly, his brows furrowed.

Just now Zhao Gao said that the inner guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty has ceased to exist in name only. This is not good news.

You must know that the internal guards are the eyes and ears of emperors throughout the Zhou Dynasty who know the affairs of the world. They have the responsibility of supervising all officials and patrolling the world.

Once there are no internal guards, the emperor is a blind and deaf man who can be manipulated by his officials.

If that were the case, then the emperor would not be far from destruction.

This is a conclusion reached by all dynasties.

Zhou Chen did not want to become such a deaf-mute emperor and be at the mercy of his ministers.

"It seems that the inner guard can no longer be used."

Zhou Chen murmured to himself.

Not only does the inner guard exist in name only, but there are still people who have put their hands into the inner guard.

Who would dare to use eyes and ears like this again?

Clean up?

Might as well start from scratch.

…

Qingfeng Palace.

The queen's palace, the first of the three palaces and six courtyards.

It means that the harem is respected by the phoenix.

Queen Wu Ying sat on the phoenix chair and looked at Wei Zhong who had returned from inquiring about the news.

"Are you saying that the emperor has openly issued an order in the court to abolish the right of the second saint to visit the court?"

Wu Ying asked with an ugly look on his face.

"Returning to your Majesty, the Emperor not only issued an edict in the court that openly abolished your Majesty's right to listen to government affairs at court, but also sent the Grand Tutor to the sky prison..."

Wei Zhong told the truth about what happened in the court today.

After hearing this, Wu Ying's face turned gloomy and uncertain.

Originally, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. As long as the emperor did not formally issue an order to abolish her right to visit the Second Saint, she would still have a chance.

But now, the last glimmer of hope has been shattered.

Once the imperial edict is issued, there is no way to recover.

She, the queen of the Second Holy Emperor, has been completely deprived of her right to govern.

There is no room for maneuver.

"Damn."

Wu Ying angrily threw the teacup next to him on the ground.

No matter how deep-thinking she is, she can't hide the anger in her heart at this moment.

Wei Zhong and the palace maid next to him were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe.

They have never seen their master behave like this.

In their impression, no matter how big the deal, their master never changes his expression.

But today, she was angry.

"Any other news?"

Wu Ying suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Wei Zhong who was kneeling on the ground.

"Back to the empress, Zhao Gao has arrested many people, and some of them are our people."

"Moreover, the emperor also gave Zhao Gao a gold medal and gave him three days to thoroughly investigate the previous disaster relief work in the four northwest prefectures."

"Also, Jin He was ordered to take over the imperial army, replaced most of the guards in the palace, and any dissenters were executed."

Wei Zhong told all the information he had learned in detail.

After hearing this, Wu Ying's face turned extremely ugly.

All these messages prove that the emperor is indeed different from before.

"It seems that our emperor has really changed."

Wu Ying's eyes flickered and he looked at Wan'er beside him, "Has there been any result on the investigation you were asked to investigate?"

"Go back to your Majesty, those guards seem to have appeared out of nowhere. I can't find any clues. I only know that the general's name is Lu Bu."

"As for the emperor's physical condition, nothing has been found."

Wan'er said immediately.

Before, when Wu Ying left the emperor's palace, he ordered her to find out the details about Langqi and Lu Bu in Bingzhou.

By the way, let’s find out what is going on with the emperor Zhou Chen’s physical condition.

Why do you suddenly look like you've recovered?

But after searching again and again, no information was found, only Lu Bu's name.

Nothing else was found.

After Wu Ying heard Wan'er's words, he couldn't help but frown.

You know, she has eyes and ears everywhere in this palace, and basically any troubles can't be hidden from her.

How could we not find out the origins and details of the guards in the emperor's palace!

There is also no news about the physical condition of the emperor Zhou Chen.

This made Wu Ying even more confused.

"What happened in the emperor's palace during one night?"

Wu Ying guessed.

For the first time, she felt that some things were beyond her control.

"Wei Zhong, find time to have a good chat with Zhao Gao. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Ying looked at Wei Zhong with gestures.

"Old slave understands."

A glint flashed in Wei Zhong's eyes, and he immediately understood what his master meant.

This is an attempt to open a gap in Zhao Gao's body.

"As long as you know."

"You all should pay attention to me these days, especially the Emperor. You must not relax even a little bit."

Wu Ying said with a cautious expression.

"besides."

"Wan'er, let me continue to investigate. We must find out the origins of those guards and the emperor's specific situation."

Wu Ying didn't believe it. With her arrangements over the years, she still couldn't find out this information.

"Yes, empress."

Wan'er and Wei Zhong said simultaneously.
