Chapter 187 Emperor Xia is suspicious
Gu Jingzhi's actions made Eunuch Huang a little stunned.
Do you have something for His Majesty?
This means that His Majesty wants to see you, but you are not ready to meet him?
The two of them arrived at the Dali Temple one after another. Gu Jingzhi walked to his office, took out the thing from his sleeve, and then turned around and handed it to Eunuch Huang.
"This is an old case I've been following for the past few days. I originally wanted to investigate it thoroughly before submitting it to His Majesty, but now I no longer have the blessing of seeing His Majesty again. I'll trouble you, eunuch, to submit it to me!"
"This, Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, Your Majesty..."
"Alright, eunuch, please don't say anything. The things inside are related to the safety of Daxia. Please don't delay this matter!"
As he said this, he placed the things heavily on Eunuch Huang's hand, then simply packed up his belongings and left his office without a trace of regret.
His action left his colleagues and subordinates in the Dali Temple stunned.
This Lord Gu...seems strange today.
……
Eunuch Huang returned to the imperial study in a daze. Emperor Xia looked at him and said gloomily, "Where's Gu Jingzhi? Why did he disobey my order even though I asked him to come?"
Eunuch Huang suddenly shuddered, and it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have not had time to tell Gu Jingzhi that Emperor Xia had summoned him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Eunuch Huang stammered, "I just ran out, but before I could announce His Majesty's order, Lord Gu grabbed me and said he had a matter concerning the safety of Great Xia that needed to be reported to His Majesty!"
"I followed him to the Dali Temple and retrieved the items. Lord Gu then urged me to present them to His Majesty immediately..."
"A slave shall be punished by death!"
Eunuch Huang knelt on the ground and held high with both hands the thing that Gu Jingzhi handed to him.
Emperor Xia: “…”
It seems that there will come a day when his will cannot be announced.
Looking at the trembling Eunuch Huang and the files he held high above his head, he thought that none of the cases submitted by Gu Jingzhi was not a big deal.
He walked over, took the file with one hand, and then kicked it.
"You can't even handle a small matter. Get out of here..."
"Slave, get out, right now..."
Eunuch Huang kowtowed repeatedly, still shouting: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me. Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me..."
Having said that, he crawled out of the imperial study in a panic.
……
Eunuch Huang had just crawled out of the imperial study, and before he could get up, he heard a sudden "pop" sound from behind.
"Shuzi!"
Emperor Xia roared angrily, and on the ground lay Gu Jingzhi's memorial.
When Eunuch Huang heard the emperor's rage, he simply didn't get up and just lay on the ground.
"You bastard, you bastard..."
Emperor Xia was cursing and walking back and forth hurriedly.
Seeing Eunuch Huang still lying at the door, he shouted angrily: "What are you doing lying there, old dog? Why don't you get in here right now?"
"Yes Yes!"
Eunuch Huang crawled back to the imperial study with a bitter face.
Emperor Xia looked at him coldly and said, "Are you sure this was given to you by Gu Jingzhi after he went to the Dali Temple?"
"That's right! I followed Master Gu to the Dali Temple, and he gave it to me right there in the yamen where he was working!"
"..."
A hint of suspicion flashed across Emperor Xia's eyes, but seeing that Eunuch Huang didn't seem to be lying, he shouted again, "Get out!"
Eunuch Huang: "..."
He suddenly felt a little tired.
They say that serving a king is like serving a tiger... At this moment, he wanted to go home and raise native pigs.
The emperor is so scary.
……
After Eunuch Huang left, Emperor Xia picked up the memorial on the ground, read it silently, and then read the other files one by one. Finally, he seemed to have lost all his energy and sat slumped on the dragon throne.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Tianshu..."
Tianshu appeared directly in the imperial study and asked respectfully, "What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"
"Come, show me this!"
Emperor Xia handed Gu Jingzhi's memorial to Tianshu, who took it and began to read it carefully. However, the more he read, the more frightened he became. After a while, he suddenly looked up at Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, this..."
"How true do you think this is?"
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Tianshu lowered his eyelids and said, "If what Lord Gu said is true, then everything makes sense!"
"Do you think this is true?"
"At least there are no loopholes in this memorial. Without considering whether there is any actual evidence, I find it hard to believe that it is false. However, all this requires actual evidence."
"evidence……"
Emperor Xia murmured softly twice, then took out a few letters from the imperial desk and handed them to Tianshu. Tianshu opened them and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Your Majesty, this, this, this..."
Tianshu stared at Emperor Xia in amazement.
Emperor Xia laughed at himself: "Oh! These ministers of mine, each and every one of them... are truly excellent!"
Upon hearing this, Tianshu immediately lowered his head and stood aside.
What Emperor Xia said now is not something you can respond to casually.
Emperor Xia was extremely angry, but he didn't know how to vent his anger.
When he first saw this memorial, he thought that Gu Jingzhi had deliberately concealed it in revenge for his actions the day before, so he went to Eunuch Huang to confirm it again and again.
After learning that Gu Jingzhi had indeed gone to the Dali Temple to take out the things, although he felt that he had wronged Gu Jingzhi again, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He kept such a big thing secret and didn't report it. What did he want to do?
If he had reported it earlier, he would not have agreed to let Gu Heng go.
This is just great.
First, Gu Heng was convicted, then the verdict was overturned today and Gu Jingzhi was convicted again. Now the plot has reversed. Gu Heng collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, resulting in the death of more than 100,000 soldiers at the border.
Could he just ignore this kind of thing?
Of course not!
But now Gu Heng's family is going to be imprisoned, so what he did in the court today has become a complete joke.
Also, regarding Gu Jingzhi's identity...
Could it be that this guy already knew his identity, so he couldn't wait to kill Gu Heng?
Furthermore, there are still a few generals from the former Gu Family Army at the border. Gu Jingzhi has connections with these people, so I'm afraid that in the future...
Hard to do!
Emperor Xia's face was sometimes gloomy and sometimes bright.
He asked, "Who has Gu Jingzhi been in contact with since he came back from the north?"
"Master Gu?"
Tianshu glanced at Emperor Xia curiously and said, "Lord Gu has always lived a secluded life. He usually spends his time reading and writing at home and rarely interacts with others!"
"According to our spies, apart from occasionally dining and drinking with his colleagues from the Dali Temple, Lord Gu has only had a drink with Lord Li Gefei, the Minister of the Honglu Temple!"
"Besides that, I haven't interacted with anyone else!"
Life is simple.
Emperor Xia muttered something, but he didn't doubt Tianshu's information at all.
However, Tianshu seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly said, "Oh, Lord Gu did meet Princess Le Huang the day before yesterday!"
"Le Huang?"
Emperor Xia's expression changed drastically.
