40. Chapter 40 Traveling at Public Expenses

In a private room of an inn, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

The man in green shirt clasped his hands behind his back and stared at the bright moon outside the window for a long time. Then he turned to look at the woman kneeling next to him and said solemnly: "Hongluan, the mission assigned to you has failed. Do you still have the nerve to come back to see me?"

Hong Luan hurriedly kowtowed with a horrified look on his face: "Young master, please calm down, I have done my best!"

"Hmph! If you weren't pretending to be a public servant for personal gain, how could you have exposed your flaws? Don't think that since your father is an elder in the sect, I can't do anything to you!" As the young master in green shirt said, there was a snapping sound, and the wine glass was crushed in his hand.

.

"The Luo family brothers and sisters are now living in the capital. I wanted to use them for their own purposes in a reasonable way, so as to kill two birds with one stone. Since the Luo family brothers and sisters are toasting and not eating as fines, then don't blame me for being rude. Hong Luan, keep a close eye on me.

, as long as there is a chance, capture him!" The man in green shirt did not have the boldness and humility of Mo Ran Juli before in the ring. Instead, he was ruthless and decisive.

"Yes! I'm resigning!" Hong Luan bowed and retreated. After leaving the wing, he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. There was still lingering fear in his heart. Every time he faced this young master, he always felt a chill in his back.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? The sect master didn't see you so frightened. Could it be that the young sect master is a devil?" Lan'er looked at Zhang Hongluan, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, and asked with some surprise.

Zhang Hongluan did not speak, but walked straight out of the inn, and then said to Lan'er behind him with lingering fear: "If you knew what this young sect leader had done before, you wouldn't find it strange!"

"Gather the eyes and ears of our hall and closely monitor the Luo family brothers and sisters. Remember to be cautious. This is the capital. Don't act rashly to avoid being deeply implicated!"

"yes!"

In the wing room, Zhou Tong, who was dressed in short-game attire, asked with some confusion: "Sir, Zhang Hongluan has been in the Luo family for nearly five years, and there is no clue at all. Is it..."

"Well? Why don't you say it? Do you want to say that maybe the father and daughter have obtained the key and the blueprint without telling them?" The man in green shirt poured a glass of wine and sat on the window sill alone to drink it.

"Young master is wise!"

"Haha, that's not a big deal, because it's not good for them!"

When the man in green shirt said this, he suddenly changed the topic and said jokingly: "Even if it is true as you said, it doesn't matter. The Zhang family is just a pawn in this game. Without spies to lead the way, we are at a loss! Everything is there.

master!"

"It seems that my subordinates are worrying too much. The young master has already made plans!"

The man in green shirt did not talk, but sat by the window, tasting wine and admiring the moon. Zhou Tong stood aside and remained silent. After a long time, the man in green shirt said calmly: "I thought this scene would be more exciting.

Colorful, who would have thought that Chen Hao would come out and make this drama end early, I really can’t enjoy it to the fullest..."

"Young Master, I'm going to kill this troublemaker..." Zhou Tong said coldly and walked away.

"No need!" The man in green shirt shouted sternly to stop Zhou Tong, and then said to himself: "Perhaps the Tang Dynasty is not exhausted, Chen Hao... you are not only involved with the Luo family brothers and sisters, but you also dismantled my son's

"Xi, it seems that there is a destiny between you and me... It just depends on how far you can go..."

"Okay, Zhou Tong, please go out to Beijing and remove the tail left by Zhang Hongluan! To avoid future troubles!" the man in green shirt said calmly.

Zhou Tong nodded knowingly, then disappeared into the side room and disappeared into the night sky...

When Chen Hao came out of the White Mansion, he realized why he was not welcomed by the prince. It turned out that he had offended his god-uncle before. Li Bao was the god-brother of Empress Chao, and naturally he was also the prince's god-uncle.

Knowing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but secretly wipe his hands with cold sweat. Risks are everywhere in this officialdom, especially in this part of the capital where nepotism is everywhere.

Especially this time, firing the prince in front of the emperor will definitely make the prince hold a grudge, and I'm afraid it will not end well in the future.

But Chen Hao has always been optimistic. Chen Hao knows the glory and decline of this period of history. The current emperor Li Chen can be regarded as a wise king. It is now the third year of Dazhong, and it will be at least nearly ten years before the prince Li Chen takes power.

, that will be the beginning of the end of the Tang Dynasty.

With ten years, everything is possible. But now he has the power, and even if the prince Li Piao wants to move him, he has to think carefully about it.

Recently, there has been an undercurrent surging inside the imperial court, and the still water runs deep. Emperor Li Chen has long believed that the eunuchs were a serious problem, so he summoned Wei Ao in the name of discussing poetry, dismissed the attendants, and asked: "Recently, the public opinion outside has a negative view on the power of the eunuchs."

What can you say?"

Wei Ao replied: "Your Majesty is so powerful that the eunuchs have restrained themselves greatly."

Tang Xuanzong closed his eyes and shook his head and said: "That's not the case at all. I am still afraid of its existence. How can I talk about everyone? What good advice do you have?"

Wei Ao thought that if he discussed with the courtiers, fearing that the disaster of nectar would happen again, it would be better to find some courageous people among the eunuchs to conspire. Tang Xuanzong rejected this suggestion. Raising tigers has been a problem since ancient times, and the strategy of driving tigers and devouring wolves is really not the best strategy.

.

He also summoned Linghu Fu, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to discuss the matter. Linghu Fu's strategy was: those who are guilty must be prosecuted, and any deficiencies should not be made up, and they should be allowed to be consumed naturally until they are exhausted.

However, Linghu Yu's memorial was discovered by the eunuchs, so this strategy not only failed to work, but also intensified the conflict between the Nanya and the Northern Division, which turned into a fire and water.

Although the big move could not be carried out, Li Chen still tried his best to restrain the eunuchs. The eunuchs in the inner garden made Li Jingshi arrogant. When the deputy prime minister Zheng Lang refused to dismount, Li Chen was furious when he heard this. He immediately stripped Li Jingshi of his official uniform and distributed it to Nan Yamen.

From then on, it was stipulated that if any Jiedu envoy was found guilty, the supervisory army (played by eunuchs) would be seated consecutively.

Although these efforts failed to completely eradicate the hidden dangers of eunuchs, they also played a certain role in curbing the situation. Especially Ma Yuanzhi, the lieutenant of the Forbidden Army, also restrained himself a lot after this incident.

The biggest winner in this matter was Linghu Gu, who was appreciated by Li Chen and was directly promoted from the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was appointed as Pingzhangshi under Zhongshu, which is the position of prime minister.

Chen Hao saw all of this, but he could only look at it as a bystander. However, there was one thing that made him unable to watch, and he was tied to the pillar of history by Emperor Li Chen.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you have summoned me here?" Chen Hao bowed in the imperial study room and said.

"Recently there has been a severe drought in Huainan, with no harvests and people displaced. I have sent Du Zong, the Jiedu envoy, to provide relief." Li Chen sat in front of the case and said meaningfully. The worried look in his eyes made him look much older at the moment.

.

Looking at Li Chen who worked hard for the world, Chen Hao couldn't help but feel sympathy for the master of ZTE. Then he sighed: "It is the merit of the emperor and the merit of the officials all over the world that the people in the world are not hungry!"

"I am not very confident about this Du Zong, so I want to send you to secretly observe whether there is any malpractice for personal gain, corruption and perversion of the law." Li Chen said his intention to recruit Chen Hao this time.

Chen Hao couldn't help but feel his heart beat when he heard this. He raised his head and looked directly at Li Chen. At this time, Li Chen was also looking at him deeply.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will live up to Your Majesty's trust and will definitely give the people of Huainan a clear day!" Chen Hao excitedly knelt down and vowed again.

"Okay, I have an imperial edict here. I specially appoint you as the deposed envoy. After the Huainan matter is settled, you can return to Beijing to deliver the edict!" As he said this, Li Chen asked the eunuch to hand Chen Hao an imperial edict.

"Thank you, but..." Chen Hao hesitated to speak, feeling a little unhappy.

"That's what Aiqing said!"

"If Mr. Du engages in malpractice for personal gain, corruption and perversion of the law, then I am far away from the capital and the situation is changing. What should I do?"

Li Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing this, pointing at Chen Hao and saying: "Well, Chen Hao, you have started asking me for power before you even took office! Since I came to the throne, no one has dared to ask me for power directly. You are the first

one!"

However, Chen Hao's face turned red and his heart did not beat. He solemnly said: "For the sake of the people of Huainan and the great Tang Dynasty, I am willing to be the first person!"

"What you said is smooth, but what you say is not unreasonable. After all, Du Zong is a military governor, and he has the false title of prime minister. Well, if it is true as you said, you can act as the emperor.

, except Sangong and the Three Divisions, they can be detained first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Hao was very happy in his heart. Although he was only serving as an official secretly this time, at least it was a glorious one. He didn't believe that Du Zong, the governor of Jiedu, said that there was nothing wrong with this disaster relief. It was a bad time... Hehe... Chen Haoyi

He exited the imperial study room with a proud face.

"Your Majesty, is there anything inappropriate in sending this young man?" Then a man dressed in black walked out from behind the curtain of the imperial study room.

"Heifeng, you don't know something. I only let him take on important responsibilities because of his youth!" Li Chen gave an enigmatic smile.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, please give me a clear explanation from your Majesty!"

"If you are not young, how can you have the guts to mess up the muddy waters in Huainan?" Li Chenruo pointed out.

If the man in black realized something, his eyes lit up: "Chen Hao has no nepotistic party interests and does things without worries. He will definitely stir up the troubled waters in Huainan. It's too late..."

"But the emperor shouldn't give Chen Hao such great authority, after all, he is still a young man!"

Li Chen chuckled and said noncommittally: "Young man? You can win the Thirteen States on the East China Sea for me, and you can deal with many things so calmly without changing your expression. Black Wind, you underestimate this young man, he...

Even I can’t see through it! If it weren’t for being too young, I would want to reuse him!”

Chen Hao carried the imperial edict and returned to the mansion to take care of everything. He originally planned to go alone, but Lin Yueyuan, Luo Fengjiao and others were worried and insisted on following them together. So Chen Hao was cruel and decided that this was considered a trip at official expense, so they simply went together.

Traveling together is just like traveling.

So Chen Hao, Lin Yueyuan, and the four brothers and sisters of the Luo family headed towards Huainan. Chen Hao's departure did not attract too many people's attention, but it did not hide it from the eyes of those who were interested. Chen Hao's trip to Huainan
