Although I selected the person, it is indeed a big problem to be unable to communicate with him. I hope those guards can explain it clearly to the emperor.

"Why is this? You are originally members of the palace. Could it be that if you are not loyal to me, you will be loyal to others?" The emperor's voice was a bit colder. "Tell me! Who sent you here!"

"Your Majesty!" said the sturdy guard: "Zhou Quan has always been loyal to the royal family. When the late emperor was still alive, he asked his subordinates to protect His Majesty. Does Your Majesty remember that there was an assassin who sneaked into the Prince's Mansion and wanted to take you?

What happened when you were repelled in the end? At that time, seven guards of the Prince's Mansion were killed and injured, and the assassin almost succeeded and injured your dragon body..."

Hearing this, the emperor sat upright excitedly and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you the man in black who blocked my sword back then?"

"Exactly!" After saying that, Zhou Quan rolled up the sleeve of his left hand and exposed his upper arm, revealing a hideous scar in front of everyone. Judging from the shape and twist of the scar, it must have been very deep.

The emperor stepped down from the throne, helped him up, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, get up."

But he was also doubtful and asked: "Why didn't you explain the situation to me before so that I could transfer you to my side?"

"Your Majesty, the name of this slave is Fendai. In the past, the aunt in charge of the palace has always called the maids. Only those who like her and are willing to do things for her and benefit her will be transferred to serve the emperor. My aunt also instructs the slaves.

I’m here to monitor His Majesty’s every move. Forced by my aunt’s power and the many informants buried in the palace by Prime Minister Liu, I really don’t dare to act rashly for the sake of Your Majesty’s safety.”

The maid with an oval face bowed deeply to the emperor, and then said: "The emperor's biological mother, Concubine Shu, saved the lives of the two slave sisters. The slaves also swore a solemn oath in front of the emperor: everything must be done with the emperor as the top priority.

. Now, the emperor has finally made up his mind to get rid of the sycophant, and I am willing to follow you to the death!"

Another palace maid with a pointed chin and an oval face also knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor. "My name is Ziyuan, and I have always wanted to find opportunities to get close to the emperor. However, my aunt is harsh and makes things difficult for me, so I dare not take any action today."

Finally, I found an opportunity and dared to tell the truth to the Emperor. I have a handwritten letter on silk from Concubine Shu, and I would like to ask the Emperor to read it." After saying that, he respectfully presented a thin note with a few lines written in small regular script.

Handkerchief.

The emperor reached out to take it and recognized it carefully. A mist gradually appeared in his eyes. He choked and said, "It's... the handwriting of the concubine..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." A dark-skinned guard raised his fist towards the emperor and said in a deep voice:

"My subordinate is an orphan, with no surname, and his name is Tan She. It's not that we brothers don't want to follow the emperor. Before, the commander of the palace guards was always assigned by Liu Xiang'an. Commander Cai never arranged for the emperor to have a bodyguard, but every time

When the emperor went on a trip, he randomly dispatched a few people, including his confidants and ordinary guards. Therefore, everyone kept silent for fear that he would find a reason to kill him. If the emperor hadn't personally killed the man who had no imperial power today, Wei Xiang

Cai Gou, who is obedient to his fate, has shown us His Majesty’s determination to turn the tide and regain power. We don’t dare to stand up and recognize him rashly!”

"What Tangshe said is exactly what is in your heart!" The last guard, who had a fair complexion and was relatively gentle and delicate, also echoed: "Your Majesty is really wise and decisive. Not only did he get rid of Commander Cai, but he also ignored the imperial authority and dared to offend His Majesty.

Liu Qiang was eliminated, and he took advantage of the situation to take back the military talisman, which is really satisfying!" After saying this, several people looked at the emperor with admiration on their faces.

After listening to what they said, the emperor's face became increasingly gray. He asked in a trembling voice: "Do you think I killed those two people?"

The honest Zhou Quan said with a smile: "The two arrogant dogs were naturally killed by the emperor himself, and the other coward was frightened to death by himself. It's just that my subordinates have given instructions to those timid eunuchs and maids, and also intimidated those

The incompetent guards all recorded the same confession and took their fingerprints, and they all said it was an unknown assassin. No matter how hard Prime Minister Liu checked, he couldn't find out, right? Even if someone dared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform, the person was the emperor.

What can Prime Minister Liu do if he kills him?"

"That's right!" Tan She also said refreshed, "Let's just say that Liu Qiang wanted to plot something against the emperor, and he committed the crime. The emperor killed him in a rage. No matter how arrogant Liu Xiang was, he would not dare to do anything to the emperor.

Recklessly!"

"The top priority is to reorganize the Ouchi guards, as well as the military power of the Gyeonggi guards that the emperor has just obtained, and the military power of the Royal Forest Army that the late emperor left to His Majesty. We need to re-evaluate the officers and select the best ones for recruitment."

The gentle guard promptly reminded me.

The emperor's immature face was so pale that there was no color in it. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You should step aside first. I want to be alone for a while."

The five people in the palace looked at each other, then kowtowed respectfully to the emperor and quietly retreated.
