Zhao Gao Became a Seal Eunuch

"Investigate thoroughly!"

"Find out for this widow! Who did this? Aijia wants to see who has such guts!”

In the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang was as furious as thunder. Her majestic phoenix eyes were burning with anger.

She had never suffered such a huge blow before.

Cao Zhengchun was her confidant, her loyal follower!

Without Cao Zhengchun, he would lose his left and right arms.

Most importantly, Cao Zhengchun was the supervisor of the East Chamber. That position was extremely important to her! That was the sword she used to intimidate the imperial court.

A heavy weapon that restrained Zhu Bujue! If she lost it, her strength would be greatly reduced, and her authority would also decrease.

Now that someone was trying to assassinate Cao Zhengchun, their motive was definitely not simple.

It was impossible to say that they had no designs on the East Chamber.

Empress Dowager Zhang, just from the fact that she could step into the stage of being in power behind the curtain, one could tell that she was not simple.

When Cao Zhengchun died, she sensed something unusual.

"Empress Dowager, this official has already examined Eunuch Cao's body. The wound is at the heart, and he died in one blow! Only grandmasters can do it!"

Jin Jiuling said slowly.

He was the chief constable of the Six Fan School, and he was extremely experienced in handling cases.

He was wearing a white robe with black braids that extended from his collar to his abdomen. It made the black more prominent and the white more eye-catching.

"Therefore, with this clue, we can narrow down the target and investigate it more easily.”

Zhuge Zhengwo spoke as soon as he finished speaking.

"Eunuch Cao's death was caused by a sword piercing through his heart. From this, we can see that the person who killed Eunuch Cao was a grandmaster level sword master.”

Zhuge Zhengwo looked thin, and his silver beard moved with the frequency of his words.

After saying this, he exchanged a glance with Jin Jiuling and nodded slightly.

"Since you know, then go and investigate!”

"Cao Zhengchun was stabbed to death by someone in the palace. Does my Tian family still have face? Any rat can sneak in!"

The graceful empress dowager's face was gloomy, and a breath of air filled her chest.

"We will investigate now! We will definitely find the real murderer for the Empress Dowager!"

Jin Jiuling and Zhuge Zhengwo bowed to the Empress Dowager.

Apart from Jin Jiuling, there was another master in Six Fan School. He was Guo Bujing and Guo Juxia, a master in the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm.

Besides Zhuge Zhengwo, who was at the peak of the Zongshi realm, the Divine Constabulary was also very powerful.

There were also four famous hunters: Cold-blooded, Iron Hand, Ruthless, and Life Chaser.

They had solved countless strange cases, so the empress dowager was very confident in them.

He immediately waved his hand and dismissed them.

After the two left, the empress dowager said to an old eunuch behind her,""Liu Jin, come forward!"

The old eunuch bowed and walked forward, then knelt down and lowered his head.""This servant is here! Empress Dowager, please instruct me."

If one looked closely, one could see that his body was trembling slightly from excitement.

In the next moment, the Empress Dowager said what he had expected.

"Cao Zhengchun is dead, and the East Chamber is now leaderless! This widow wants you to be promoted to the position of Chief of Rites, Seal Eunuch, and concurrently the position of East Chamber Supervisor!”

Liu Jin's heart trembled when he heard this. He kowtowed three times excitedly."This servant receives the decree! This servant kneels to thank the Empress Dowager for her grace!"

He was the ceremonial eunuch, and once Cao Zhengchun died, it would be his turn to take the throne.

Thus, this matter was not good for the Empress Dowager, but it was very good for him.

However, before the Empress Dowager could speak.

A sharp voice suddenly came from outside the Cining Palace.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

This was the imperial eunuch's shout.

The empress dowager's expression changed as she looked outside the door in shock.

All the palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and knelt down at this moment.

"Empress Dowager, this one has a better candidate for the Imperial Seal Eunuch!”

A powerful and cold voice sounded.

Zhu Houzhao had not yet arrived, but the voice came first.

As soon as he finished speaking, the empress dowager suddenly stood up from her chair, her expression extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, who are you talking about?”

She was shocked when she saw Zhu Houzhao, who had a dignified and regal look on his face, slowly walk in.

How did his son become so unfamiliar overnight?

This kind of majesty of an emperor was something that only the old emperor could possess when he was at his peak!

Moreover, Cao Zhengchun had just died and he was here to fight for the throne!

It was hard to guarantee that Cao Zhengchun's death had nothing to do with him.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, waiting for Zhu Houzhao to continue speaking.

However, Zhu Houzhao did not say anything. He only moved his body slightly.

The empress dowager immediately saw Zhao Gao following behind him.

Zhao Gao's face was fair and flawless. His eyes were cold and strange, like a dead person. The empress dowager frowned slightly.

"I will appoint him as the seal eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor!”

Zhu Houzhao approached the empress dowager with his hands behind his back. He looked into the empress dowager's eyes and said,""Zhao Gao, come forward! Let the Empress Dowager see you!"

"This subject obeys the decree!"

Zhao Gao walked forward and bowed. The aura of a grandmaster suddenly burst out from his body, causing Liu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, to tremble.

He raised his head and stared at the eunuch who was about to snatch his seat with his fierce eyes.

"Zhao Gao? How could a mere eunuch be a eunuch with a seal! Your Majesty, have you been slandered?”

The empress dowager sized up Zhao Gao and said disdainfully.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, whoever became the seal eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor was the factory duke of the East Chamber!

All along, it had been held by the Emperor's trusted eunuchs. However, the previous Zhu Houzhao had a weak personality, and this position had always been handpicked by the Empress Dowager.

"I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can control me! If there was, there was only death. The Empress Dowager has gone too far!"

Zhu Houzhao's face turned cold, and his voice rose a few notches.

Such a tough attitude stunned the empress dowager, and her aura weakened a little.

If there was, there was only death!

She couldn't help but think,"Is he saying this to aijia?" When did he dare to speak to aijia like this?”

The Empress Dowager was certain that Cao Zhengchun's death was related to Zhu Houzhao.

"I have already issued an imperial edict to make an exception and promote Zhao Gao! The Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry about the position of a eunuch!”

Zhu Houzhao continued.

The empress dowager was stunned for a moment before she continued,""Your Majesty, this widow is thinking for Your Majesty! Who would be the seal eunuch?”

Zhu Houzhao's imposing manner completely overshadowed hers. He didn't dare to argue for a moment, and his tone softened a little.

"There's no need to discuss this matter anymore! The Empress Dowager wants to defy the decree?"

Zhu Houzhao's majestic dragon eyes swept towards the empress dowager. The latter's expression changed and she said after a moment,"

"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, there's nothing much to say. It's just that Your Majesty must not use the wrong person and cause trouble.”

"If there's trouble, kill it with one sword!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled cruelly and turned to leave.

Zhao Gao glanced at Liu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and left as well.

Only after Zhu Houzhao left did the empress dowager feel the pressure disappear. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, an even greater anger rose in her heart.

The Seal Eunuch of the Rites Supervisor and the Supervisor of the East Chamber were actually given to Zhu Houzhao just like that!
