"Godfather, Eunuch Wang Wen is here."
Little Xuanzi brought Wang Wen to a clean cell where Cao Zhengchun was waiting.
"Why did Eunuch Wang Wen come personally?”
Upon seeing Wang Wen, Cao Zhengchun immediately stood up to welcome him.
He knew that although Wang Wen was weak, killing him was like killing an ant.
However, he was the emperor's favorite. It was beneficial and harmless for him to have a good relationship with him.
"Eunuch Cao is too polite."
Wang Wen did not put on airs and said directly,"His Majesty sent me to deliver a letter to Eunuch Cao.”
"A letter from His Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.
His godson, Xiao Xuanzi, also knelt down.
Wang Wen took out an envelope and placed it in Cao Zhengchun's hand. He said softly,""I have already sent the letter. Everything depends on Supervisor Cao.”
"Thank you for your message, Eunuch. Please tell His Majesty that this servant Cao Zhengchun will not disappoint His Majesty.”
Cao Zhengchun stood up from the ground and looked at Little Xuanzi." Send Eunuch Wang off on my behalf."”
"Yes, godfather."
Little Xuanzi sent Wang Wen to the entrance of the East Chamber and secretly stuffed an ingot of gold into Wang Wen's hand.
Wang Wen pretended to decline, but he couldn't stand Little Xuanzi's sincerity, so he reluctantly accepted it.
It was normal for people in the palace to bribe each other with gold and silver.
Shangguan Lin also knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped.
So as long as it didn't cause a big impact, he wouldn't care about small favors.
Little Xuanzi returned to the cell and saw Cao Zhengchun staring at the letter in his hand in a daze. His eyes were dark and gloomy.
"Godfather, is there anything wrong with His Majesty's decree?”
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Cao Zhengchun coldly shouted," Your Majesty is wise and mighty. How can there be anything wrong with the decree?”
"If you dare to speak without restraint again, I won't forgive you.”
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun put away the imperial paper and kept it close to his chest.
There were only eight words on the letter: " Investigate the commander of the Imperial Army, Feng Shaojie.”
However, Cao Zhengchun saw another meaning behind the words. This was also the reason why the Emperor wanted to send a letter instead of a verbal order.
Each stroke contained the killing intent of a golden spear. Every hook and every strangle was filled with the majesty of an emperor.
The Emperor's meaning was self-evident. He was going to make a move on the Commander of the Imperial Army, Feng Shaojie.
This target could not be compared to eunuchs and serving girls. He was the commander of the Imperial Army, who controlled an army of 50,000 soldiers. His position was equivalent to that of a first-class general in the imperial court.
If Drew were to fall from grace, it would shake the entire court.
Cao Zhengchun was under immense pressure, but this was the Emperor's decree, so he had no choice.
"Little Xuan."
"Godfather."
"You go…"
Cao Zhengchun whispered into Little Xuanzi's ear.
Little Xuanzi was shocked and quickly turned around to leave the cell.
......
After the death of the previous emperor, Shangguan Lin had been working day and night. Coupled with the new emperor's ascension, he had accumulated a lot of work.
Therefore, Shangguan Lin set the first morning court session seven days after the coronation, which was March 22nd.
The ministers in the court also knew that the new emperor was filial. During the mourning period of the late emperor, he never left his side and did not sleep day and night, so they did not question this edict.
During the mourning period of the late emperor, the emperor was tired, and so were they. An extra seven days of rest was also very good.
It was a good time to rest and relieve his fatigue.
Shangguan Lin was in the royal study for several days.
Ever since the eunuchs and serving girls were captured, there had been no more unusual movements. The harem seemed to have returned to its usual calm, and even Imperial Consort Li was relieved.
On the morning of March 21st, Shangguan Lin was having breakfast in the royal study.
Suddenly, Cao Zhengchun's voice sounded from outside.
"Your servant Cao Zhengchun requests an audience with Your Majesty.”
"Xuan."
"His Majesty has decreed that Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Chamber, be summoned." Wang Wen immediately shouted.”
Cao Zhengchun walked into the royal study and saw Shangguan Lin eating. He quickly knelt down and said," I've disturbed Your Majesty's meal. I deserve to die."”
"It's fine."
Shangguan Lin smiled." Minister Cao, you can have breakfast now. If you don't, sit down and eat together."”
"No, no, no. This servant has used it. This servant thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness.”
Cao Zhengchun quickly shook his head.
Eating breakfast with the Emperor? What kind of joke was this?
No matter how much the Emperor doted on an official, from ancient times until now, no official had ever eaten at the same table as the Emperor.
(Other than the army, when the army is fighting, they can't care so much.）
If word of this got out, Cao Zhengchun was sure that he would be impeached by a bunch of censors the next day. Moreover, the charges would be irrefutable.
Shangguan Lin smiled and said softly,""Did you find out anything today?”
"Your Majesty is wise and divine.”
Cao Zhengchun kowtowed and handed over a memorial with both hands. He said respectfully,"I didn't disappoint Your Majesty and have found what Your Majesty needs.”
Wang Wen took the memorial and handed it to Shangguan Lin.
When he opened it, Shangguan Lin's face grew colder and colder until it seemed to be frozen in a layer of frost.
Bang!
Shangguan Lin slapped the table, causing the dishes to fall to the ground.
Wang Wen immediately knelt on the ground. Like Cao Zhengchun, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
"What a great commander of the Imperial Army, Feng Shaojie. He's really the pillar of our Heaven Enlightenment!”
Shangguan Lin enunciated these words word by word, and the killing intent that erupted from his body had already condensed into substance.
Cao Zhengchun's memorial not only recorded Feng Shaojie's corruption and bribery.
Among them, it also included a series of evil things he had done in the harem.
