" Emergency report from the East Chamber. Release them immediately!"
Outside Chang 'an City, a eunuch dressed in the uniform of the East Chamber, holding the token of the East Chamber, ran straight to the city wall of Chang' an!
At this time, it was already night, and the city gates of Chang 'an were closed.
Today, the ones in charge of guarding the four gates were the Jinwu Imperial Guards.
"Open the city gates!"
The guard ordered.
Boom!
The city gates opened.
The gatekeeper walked out of the city gate first to check the identity of the newcomer.
When he confirmed that the other party was indeed a secret agent of the East Hall, he waved his hand and said,""Let them pass!"
Boom!
However, at this moment, a muffled sound rang out!
They saw that the horse that the East Chamber secret agent was riding on had already collapsed due to the overnight rush. It directly collapsed on the ground and twitched. Then, there was no movement. It was actually exhausted to death!
The East Chamber secret agent's expression was also not good. He said weakly,"General, there is an urgent report from the East Chamber. We need to enter the palace as soon as possible and present it to the Emperor!”
"Eunuch, you've worked hard!" The guard said with a solemn expression.”
Then, the gatekeeper waved his hand and said,"Prepare a horse for Gonggong!"
From time to time, the East Chamber secret agent would change into a fast horse and go straight to the Taiji Imperial Palace!
What others didn't know was that this was already the fifth horse the spy had changed along the way. In order to send the news back to the palace as quickly as possible, four horses had already died of exhaustion!
As the East Chamber was an intelligence agency controlled by the Emperor, no one dared to stop them!
Along the way, all the imperial guards who were on patrol saw that it was an urgent report from the East Chamber and made way!
At the same time, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian also received the news and rushed to Yangxin Palace Hall immediately.
……
From time to time, at the gate of Yangxin Hall, the secret agents of the East Chamber were gasping for breath as they knelt outside the hall.
"Eunuch Liu, please pass on the message that the East Chamber has an urgent report.”The spy knelt on the ground and panted.
Seeing the secret agent so anxious, Liu Zhuo did not dare to hesitate and said,""Wait here for a while."
Then, Liu Zhuo knocked on the door of Yangxin Palace Hall and called out carefully,""Your Majesty? It seems urgent!"
"Enter!"
After a long time, Jiang Chen's voice came from the hall.
Liu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief as he was afraid of disturbing Jiang Chen.
After all, it was already late at night, Jiang Chen must have fallen asleep. Disturbing the king's rest was a crime that could be punished with death!
However, Liu Zhuo was smart enough to know his limits!
If the Emperor was a fatuous ruler, he would never dare to disturb him. No matter how urgent the matter was, disturbing the Emperor's rest was a crime that would lead to death!
However, for a wise ruler like Jiang Chen, it was a capital crime to report it to the palace and not pass it on!
That was why Liu Zhuo dared to send a message in the middle of the night.
"Come in with me!"
Liu Zhuo turned around and said to the spy behind him.
However, when he turned around, he found that the spy had fallen to the ground and fainted.
Liu Zhuo sighed and took the report from the secret agent. Then, he ran into Yangxin Palace with small steps.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was being served by Flying Sparrow Zhao as he walked into the hall. He looked at Liu Zhuo and asked,""Where's the spy?"
"He probably ran too fast and fainted outside the hall.”Liu Zhuo replied.
Jiang Chen nodded and said," Send the imperial physician to take good care of him."”
"Here!" Liu Zhuo nodded respectfully and left to make arrangements.
Jiang Chen opened the emergency report and checked.
Flying Sparrow Zhao was very obedient. When she saw that Jiang Chen wanted to deal with political affairs, she carefully brewed a pot of tea for him and then returned to the inner hall without disturbing him.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen's brows gradually furrowed.
The contents of the secret report were very simple. The Eastern Turkic envoy had entered the inner pass and would arrive in Chang 'an in a few days, with a total of thirty-some people.
Although this secret report was simple, the meaning behind it was profound!
The special envoy must have a purpose for visiting!
Jiang Chen knew that the current territory of the Tianwu Kingdom was like the territory of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. The power of the Eastern Turks was enormous.
On the other hand, the Tianwu Kingdom was extremely weak, and the Central Plains was divided into many factions. A civil war could break out at any time!
In this situation, the visit of the Eastern Turks would definitely not bring any good news!
Moreover, the Eastern Turks had been spying on the Central Plains for a long time and had secretly supported many factions in the Central Plains, especially those in the north that bordered the Eastern Turks. Almost all of them were controlled by the Eastern Turks, and they wanted to disrupt the Central Plains and take advantage of the situation!
The only country that had no connection with the Eastern Turks was the Tianwu Kingdom!
Therefore, Jiang Chen had already made a decision. The East Turkic envoy must have some ulterior motives and came with ill intentions!
No matter what the Eastern Turks 'goal was, they had to make preparations in advance, just in case!
"Your Majesty, Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun request an audience.”
At this moment, Liu Zhuo had already returned to the hall and softly said.
"Xuan."
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun jogged in and bowed respectfully.
"Eunuch Cao, your East Hall's secret agent is not bad.”Jiang Chen said calmly.
Cao Zhengchun's face lit up with joy as he said,""Your Majesty, this old servant understands!"
After saying that, Cao Zhengchun did not forget to look at Yu Huatian with a smug expression and could not wait to show off in front of Yu Huatian.
The corner of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched, and his expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
Jiang Chen ignored the two's rivalry and said,""Go and investigate. I only give you two days to find out the purpose of the Turkic envoy!”
"Here! Two days was enough, and the East Chamber would not let the emperor down!”Cao Zhengchun spoke first.
Yu Huatian was furious." West Hall, we only need one day to confirm that it's His Majesty. We'll investigate it thoroughly!"”
" You..." Cao Zhengchun's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Yu Huatian to be so ruthless in order to gain Jiang Chen's recognition. He promised to only use one day, so he said,""Your Majesty, this old servant only needs a day to find out all of the Eastern Turks 'intentions!”
"Good! I will only give you one day!”Jiang Chen said calmly, then waved his hand to signal the two to leave.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian didn't dare to say anything more and quietly retreated.
However, as soon as they left the hall, they both snorted coldly and began to make arrangements to gather information on the Eastern Turks!
Unknowingly, a huge intelligence network began to spread throughout the country!
