According to the rules, the first thing the officials who went to inspect and investigate cases had to do after returning to the capital was to enter the palace to report to the Emperor.
And before that, the urgent or not urgent docunts had to be sent to the capital.
Regardless of whether it was a morial to the court or a major matter like this, a docunt had to be sent to the capital in advance. Urgent matters should be hastened, and six hundred or eight hundred miles would depend on the level.
Even if it wasn't urgent, he had to send the docunts back to the capital ahead of ti.
This was for the dignity of a King, so that he could be calm when facing major events. It was also to give the Emperor more ti to think and discuss with his trusted ministers.
However, there was an exception, and that was rebellion.
The Chu Prefecture city was completely massacred.North vanquishing Prince was lying on the ground in the city, and there was no more divine general of the country in Da Feng. For such a big matter, it should have been accelerated to eight hundred miles. If horses could grow wings, it would not be too much to accelerate to a thousand miles.
However, the diplomatic mission did not send any docunts in advance and did not inform the Imperial court. Of course, the diplomatic mission was not trying to rebel.
"We're going to catch the Imperial court and his Majesty off guard!"
This was what Zheng xinghuai said.
The Imperial court was in chaos because of this matter, so he was able to diate, manipulate, and lobby his old friends and chief advisor Wang, and unite the entire group of civil officials.
The envoy left the official ship. The Imperial Army carried a thin coffin, which contained the body of the North vanquishing Prince. The pieced-together body was very complete.
On the dock, the experienced foren imdiately ordered the coolies to retreat. They were not allowed to block the way of these officials, and they were not even allowed to watch.
Because this situation often ant that one of the officials had been sacrificed. If one revealed the look and posture of watching a good show, it was very likely to attract the Anger of the Dead.
Several foren had encountered a similar incident last year. In the beginning of spring, floating ice was still floating on the canal, and an official ship from Yunzhou arrived at the dock.
A group of night watchn ca down with a few coffins. A few foren thought they were far away and whispered, pointing and talking as a way to kill ti.
In the end, their leader, Yin Luo, broke their legs, broke their teeth, and threw them into the canal, losing half of their lives.
The crowd carried the coffin into the city from the dock, into the inner city, into the Imperial City, and then stopped outside the palace.
Xu Qi 'an stood in front, with the two censors on his left and the Deputy of the Supre Court and Constable Chen on his right.
"Go and report to His Majesty that the diplomatic group that went to Chu Zhou to investigate the case should return to the capital to report on their work." Xu
Qi 'an ordered.
"Milords, please wait a mont."
The palace guard said as he bowed, then jogged into the palace.
In the bedroom, Emperor Yuan jing sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and started to cultivate.
A eunuch walked quickly to the threshold, his head lowered, and he did not make a sound.
The old eunuch in a Python robe standing beside Emperor Yuan jing glanced at the door, then at the old Emperor. He walked up to him and said in a low voice,
""What's the matter?"
The young eunuch whispered a few words in his ear.
Hearing this, the old eunuch frowned and waved his hand to send the eunuch away.
He quietly returned to Emperor Yuan jing's side and carefully lowered his voice, '"Your Majesty .
Emperor yuanjing was not allowed to be disturbed when he was ditating, unless there was an urgent matter.
The old eunuch had accompanied Emperor Yuan jing for so many years, so they had a tacit understanding.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Yuan jing opened his eyes and asked slowly.
The old eunuch bowed. the diplomatic mission that went to Chuzhou to investigate the case has returned. They are now outside the palace, waiting for the Emperor to summon them.
Emperor Yuan jing frowned and looked at the old eunuch, asking, ""Why didn't
I see any official docunts from Chuzhou from the cabinet?"
He only found out about this when the diplomatic mission returned to the capital.
Emperor yuanjing squinted his eyes and pondered for a mont. He said slowly, ""Summon them to the Imperial study."
The old eunuch turned around and left.
Emperor Yuan jing was expressionless, like a deep and terrifying statue.
The envoy was inford and led into the palace by a green-robed eunuch. The rest of the people, including the coffin, were naturally not allowed to enter the palace.
Even if the North vanquishing Prince was lying in the coffin, he had to be summoned by the Emperor before he could enter the palace. Besides, so far, other than the diplomatic mission, no one in the palace knew that the body in the coffin was the top martial artist of Da Feng, the brother of Emperor Yuan jing.
After entering the spacious and luxurious Imperial study, everyone waited in silence. After 15 minutes, Emperor Yuan jing ca with several eunuchs.
The old Emperor, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, did not sit behind the large table. Instead, he stopped in front of the diplomatic mission and swept his majestic gaze across their faces. His voice was calm as he said,
"I've sent people to ask the cabinet, but I didn't receive your docunts beforehand.
The old Emperor glanced at Xu Qi 'an and seed to think that he was a boorish warrior. He was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned to the two censors and the Deputy of the Supre Court.
"You guys don't know the rules either?"
The two censors and the Supre Court's Deputy lowered their heads. Without waiting for their response, Zheng xinghuai stepped forward and bowed,
'Your Majesty, the Chu Prefecture city has been destroyed. How do we send the docunts?"
Only then did Emperor Yuan jing notice him. He examined him for a mont and said, " Minister Zheng, as the Chu Zhou Governor, you dare to return to the capital without the permission of the Imperial court? "
This was a cri of desertion.
Zheng xinghuai laughed bitterly and looked at Emperor Yuan jing, unwilling to be outdone. "The Chu Prefecture city is gone. I, as the chief administrator, exist only in na."
Calling himself "I" instead of "subject," Lord Zheng's state of mind was a little off … His heart was like dead ashes, so he was fearless? Xu Qi 'an frowned.
"Why do you say that?" Emperor Yuan jing frowned.
Zheng xinghuai took a deep breath and said in a clear voice,"The North vanquishing Prince of Chu Prefecture colluded with the witch God sect and the earth sect's Dao chief to advance to rank two and slaughtered 380000 people in
Chu Prefecture city..
