Night!
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Houzhao casually flipped through the books, his mind unfocused.
The eunuchs waited on the side, waiting for the emperor's will.
"How long have those two been kneeling outside?”
Zhu Houzhao asked casually.
"Your Majesty, it has been about two hours.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and put the book aside.""Xuan Yu Hua Tian, come in!"
"Yes."
The eunuch bowed and was about to leave when he stopped and asked,""Your Majesty, then Supervisor Cao…?"
"Continue to wait!"
"Yes."
The eunuch respectfully replied and left.
Outside the palace.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian knelt down together, neither of them saying a word.
Although the West Chamber had not been established for long, its momentum had the intention of suppressing the East Chamber.
This was also one of the reasons why Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian were not on good terms.
From time to time, the sound of light footsteps could be heard from the palace.
The eunuch slowly stepped forward and announced,""His Majesty has decreed that Yu Huatian, the Governor of the West Military Yard, be summoned to the palace!”
"Yes."
Yu Huatian cupped his hands and bowed. He stood up and walked into the hall.
"Eunuch, did His Majesty summon us?”
"Governor Cao, His Majesty has decreed that you continue to kneel here." The eunuch smiled apologetically.”
Cao Zhengchun's heart sank when he heard this.
If Yu Huatian was allowed to gain power, then the East Hall would forever be suppressed by the West Hall.
"No, I have to think of a way to regain His Majesty's trust!”
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
Yu Huatian walked into the hall in a brocade robe and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon throne and looked at Yu Huatian."How long have you been the supervisor of the West Hall?”
"Your Majesty, it has been about ten years.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and strolled to Yu Huatian's side."When the Daxing Emperor was in power, it was built in the West Hall. At that time, you were the supervisor of the West Hall.”
"Over the years, I have heard a lot about the West and East Chambers.”
Yu Huatian's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes.
"I don't care how fierce your struggles are, but I want you to remember one thing!”
"I can also take back what I gave you!”
"Sometimes, I don't have to tell you what to do and what not to do!”
Yu Huatian lowered his head, cupped his hands, and bowed."I understand."
Zhu Houzhao nodded his head in appreciation and said,""It's good that you understand!"
"The West and East Chambers are the sharp swords of the imperial court. If they don't hurt the enemy but hurt themselves, there's no need for them to exist!”
"I am rather curious about which of these two swords is the sharpest.”
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao approached Yu Huatian and carefully sized up the expression on Yu Huatian's face.
At this moment, Yu Huatian immediately knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao and cupped his fists."I, Yu Huatian, am willing to lead the West Hall to become the sharpest sword in Your Majesty's hands!”
"Anyone who dares to stop Your Majesty will be eliminated first!”
"Yes!"
"Get up!"
Zhu Houzhao stood with his hands behind his back and walked back to his throne. He said seriously,""I let you into the palace tonight to give your West Hall a chance to show off.”
"And I really want to see if the sharp sword of the West Hall is as sharp as you say!”
"Today, Zhen has ordered the cabinet chief assistant Liu Jian to investigate the people who colluded with the World Association.”
"And what you have to do is to help Zhen find the spies of the World Association hidden in the palace!”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"Go!"
"Call Cao Zhengchun in!"
Yu Huatian cupped his hands and bowed, then turned around and left Yangxin Hall.
Outside Yangxin Palace Hall.
Cao Zhengchun had been waiting.
When Cao Zhengchun saw Yu Huatian walk out, he quickly asked,"What did His Majesty say to you?"
Yu Huatian glanced at him and said arrogantly,"This is not something you can know!”
" You…!!!"
Cao Zhengchun's expression darkened. He stood up and looked at Yu Huatian, seemingly ready to attack.
"How long has it been since the West Military Hall was established? How dare you speak to me like this!”
"Who do you think you are?"
"You're asking me what the West Hall is? Now I'll tell you, if the East Branch can't solve the case, the West Branch will.”
"Also, listen well. I will kill those people that the East Military Hall doesn't dare to kill, and I will interfere with those things that the East Military Hall doesn't dare to interfere in.”
"In a word, what the East Hall can manage, we will manage. What the East Hall can't manage, we will manage even more! Acting first and reporting later, the imperial power granted special permission! This is the West Hall, is that clear enough?”
" You…you…!!!"
Cao Zhengchun's face flushed red as he secretly gathered his internal strength in his palm.
"Huh?"
"You want to fight?"
"Let me give you a piece of advice, don't forget where you are!" Yu Huatian said calmly.”
"Oh, right! His Majesty has issued an edict ordering you to enter the palace."
"It's not a good thing to make His Majesty wait for too long!”
Cao Zhengchun's expression changed when he heard this.
Although he wanted nothing more than to fight Yu Huatian, he knew what kind of place this was and what kind of crime it was to make the Emperor wait a moment longer.
"Humph! Yu Huatian, this isn't over!"
After saying that, Cao Zhengchun hurried into Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Your humble servant Cao Zhengchun greets Your Majesty."
In the hall, Zhu Houzhao stood with his hands behind his back and said,"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Are your legs sore from kneeling outside?"
The Emperor's sudden concern made Cao Zhengchun feel a little helpless.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and turned to Cao Zhengchun.""Do you know that you were wrong about what happened earlier?"
Cao Zhengchun bowed his head and said,"I know my sins. I will never dare to deceive Your Majesty again."”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with an indifferent expression and did not pursue the matter further.
"Order the East Chamber to immediately investigate the spies of the World Association in the capital and its branches!”
"I don't care what method you use to investigate, I just want a result!”
"If you can't do this, I can take back everything I can give you!”
"Do you understand?"
Cao Zhengchun was shocked.
He knew that this was the last chance the Emperor was giving him.
At the same time, the Emperor wanted to see if this so-called sharp sword of his still had any value in existence!
Cao Zhengchun's gaze was firm as he cupped his hands and said,""This old servant will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!”
"Go!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand indifferently.
Cao Zhengchun bowed and left Yangxin Hall.
