Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation

After Yang Qing retreated, the anger on Chu Jinghui's face slowly faded until it completely disappeared.

He returned to the imperial desk, sat down, and began to review the memorial that had been placed there.

Suotu, who was standing on the edge, thought of something and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Eunuch Zhang with his clear eyesight and quick hands.

Suotu glanced at Eunuch Zhang in surprise, but saw the other party shaking his head slightly at him.

Eunuch Zhang also made a jewelry with him. Suotu glanced at Chu Jinghui and found that he was busy reviewing memorials. At that moment, his body slowly moved back, and soon Hall of Mental Cultivation appeared.

Not long after he went out, he saw Eunuch Zhang coming out right behind him.

"Eunuch Zhang, I just had something to discuss with the emperor, why did you stop me from talking?"

After walking to a corner, Suotu asked eagerly in a low voice.

Eunuch Zhang glanced at him. "Guard Suotu, our guess is, do you want to ask the emperor for a copy of Imperial Edict?"

"How do you know?"

Suotu was surprised when he heard Eunuch Zhang's answer.

"Our family not only knows, but also knows that you asked for this Imperial Edict to remind the emperor that the Wei Sizhong among the Celestial Prison is still waiting for Imperial Edict to ask questions!"

The shock on Suotu's face was even worse. "Eunuch Zhang, you, you have almost become a bug in my stomach! How come you can guess exactly what I want to say?"

Eunuch Zhang glanced at him sideways again. "Our family followed the emperor to Celestial Prison yesterday, so we naturally know what the emperor said in Celestial Prison."

"Although it is said that the emperor has a golden mouth, in order to really deal with matters, especially with ministers like Wei Sizhong, you must get the emperor's personal letter before you can do anything."

"Otherwise, no one will be able to bear the name of manslaughter."

"But, yesterday the emperor clearly..."

Suotu Still don't understand.

When Celestial Prison, Chu Jinghui saw the scene there yesterday, Long Yan was furious and even killed the jailers who were guarding there on the spot.

"Obviously what? You obviously didn't see anything. The emperor is angry, but he is angry that those servants would leave their posts without permission and enrich themselves!"

Listening to Eunuch Zhang's words, Suotu felt a chill on his back bit by bit.

Yes, what Eunuch Zhang said was exactly what he had ignored before.

And if it weren't for Eunuch Zhang's reminder, I'm afraid he would have ended up similar to Yang Qing at this moment.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Why didn't he understand such a simple truth?

Seeing Suotu lowering his head in thought, Eunuch Zhang added again, "Guard Suotu, you'd better think about it carefully. Our family is going back. If the emperor can't find our family, I'm afraid he will have to eat together."

Suotu saluted Eunuch Zhang and then watched him leave quickly.

Eunuch Zhang is of course right. It is not that the emperor has forgotten to punish Wei Sizhong, but he may have deliberately ignored it.

It seems that the importance of Wei Sizhong in the emperor's heart is by no means as unbearable as they imagined!

Suotu left that corner while thinking.

And when Eunuch Zhang walked into Hall of Mental Cultivation quietly, he heard Chu Jinghui ask without raising his head, "Where have you been? I was just given a hard time to find you."

Eunuch Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said humbly, "Returning to the Emperor, the wound on Lord Yang's back was bleeding. I was afraid that the smell of blood would reach the Emperor, so I went out and ordered people to make incense."

Hearing Eunuch Zhang mention Yang Qing, the pen in Chu Jinghui's hand paused for a moment.

"What do you think about Lord Yang?"

Eunuch Zhang glanced at Chu Jinghui cautiously. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. I wonder what your Majesty means by this?"

Chu Jinghui glared at him. "When did I ask you something and it made you so embarrassed? It's time to tell me, can I still eat you?"

Eunuch Zhang smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Look at this slave's mind, he is really getting more and more confused."

"It's good to understand that you are confused! Now, come and tell me, what kind of person does this Lord Yang look like to you?"

Eunuch Zhang interface said, "In my opinion, this Lord Yang is a good minister."

"What do you mean by this?"

"What my slave means is that although this Lord Yang sometimes feels a little too narrow-minded, he is the one who can root out Yan Prefecture's bandits who have been doing evil for many years without being suppressed in just one year."

"If he didn't have any plans in mind, how could he have done this job so neatly in that dangerous place?"

"I'm afraid that before he takes action, his fate will be the same as Lord Jiang before."

Jiang Yuan had only served as Yan Prefecture Military Commissioner for less than half a year, and the result was given within Yan Prefecture City.

This incident caused panic among many people, including Capital City.

The ferocity of this bandit can be seen from this!

Listening to Eunuch Zhang's words, Chu Jinghui did not express any opinions.

Eunuch Zhang paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, I heard that this Lord Yang is an expert in managing people and affairs, but his ability is only reflected in what he should do."

"Even if he could do anything that was outside his rights, he would never get involved."

"This shows that this Lord Yang knows where the boundaries of this matter are. He is a person who knows justice and knows how to advance and retreat."

"I didn't realize it, but you really appreciate this Lord Yang!"

Listening to Chu Jinghui's words, Eunuch Zhang secretly wiped a sweat for himself in his heart.

He still had that humble smile on his face.

"What the emperor is saying is that this servant is looking high at this Lord Yang just for the sake of his loyalty to the emperor Bu Er. He is sincerely happy that the emperor has found a good minister."

Hearing this, Chu Jinghui stretched out a finger and pointed it directly at Eunuch Zhang: "You slave, I'm afraid you have become a spirit! That's all, I won't embarrass you anymore."

Eunuch Zhang's face once again had a smile on his face, "This slave is promising, but it's not because of your good teaching, Your Majesty. The slave is the Emperor's personal attendant. Anyone who has anything to do with the Emperor will naturally not dare to slack off."

Chu Jinghui no longer looked at Eunuch Zhang, but said to himself, "I do feel that there are some irresolvable entanglements between Yang Chengming and Wei Sizhong."

"Otherwise, this Yang Chengming wouldn't be targeting that Wei Sizhong again and again."

In response to these words, Eunuch Zhang lowered his head, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his nose at his heart, without saying anything and without moving.

He knew very well in his heart that although he was a popular person in front of the emperor, there was a rope hanging across whatever he could say or do.

If he dared to go beyond the rules without permission, he might end up dead by then.

"In two days, it will be the big day for Princess Nazhen to marry that boy Dingguo Marquis Residence. If you pass on the decree, I will go over to watch the ceremony in person on that day."

"According to the order!"
