Who is Chao Huang?
Thinking of this person's identity, Zhao Xin suddenly felt angry.
"Where is Li Cunxiao?!"
Seeing Yu Huatian returning alone, Zhao Xin was even more furious.
This idiot! Before he even did anything good, he already got himself into trouble!
Yu Huatian knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. After receiving the news, I have ordered people to find General Li! I will go find him myself now."
Zhao Xin suppressed his anger and said, "Go ahead."
This guy, why didn’t he kill anyone else but Chao Huang!
Chao Huang held the position of Guanglu Xun, in charge of the security affairs within the palace, and his subordinates were all elite soldiers and generals.
In the original novel, the author used the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system of the Eastern Han Dynasty as the official system in the court.
Zhao Xin also didn't know why the original author set up the system of three dukes and nine ministers and then created a eunuch system of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Guanglu Xun’s power was more than that.
The emperor's think tank is under his command, and Guanglu Xun's office is also where candidate officials are trained.
The most important thing is that Chao Huang is Cui Cen’s confidant!
Most of Cui Cen's disciples and followers were civil officials in the court.
Only Chao Huang was a military general who commanded troops and was highly regarded by Cui Cen.
Guanglu Xun was a minister of the imperial guards, in charge of the palace, and his political status was very important to Cui Cen.
The Huben Camp and Yulin Cavalry under Chao Huang were nominally responsible for protecting the palace, but in reality they played a role of surveillance and restriction.
Moreover, the military power of the palace guards is independent and is not under the control of Nan Cang, who controls the military forces of the world.
With Chao Huang around, everything concerning the emperor was in Cui Cen's control.
Zhao Xin was well aware of the importance of Chao Huang, and he summoned Liu Muzhi to discuss with him how to deal with him.
But unexpectedly, he was killed by Li Cunxiao so recklessly!
Considering how much Cui Cen valued Chao Gai, now that he's dead, it's bound to cause a lot of trouble...
Chao Huang was known as the most powerful general in Kyoto, and was praised as "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot break through."
Li Cunxiao actually killed such a person!
While Zhao Xin was feeling annoyed and angry, he couldn't help but secretly admire Li Cunxiao's bravery.
"Hmph, this guy is always more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. If he kills Chao Huang, won't that put me in a disadvantageous position?!"
Zhao Xin picked up the half-cold teacup on the table and took a few sips before he could suppress the anger in his heart.
At this time, the news of Chao Huang's death must have reached Cui Cen's ears.
Without further investigation, the other party knew that Li Cunxiao was his man.
Then in Cui Cen's eyes, isn't it that Zhao Xin is provoking Cui Cen in disguise?
Li Cunxiao's move directly pushed him to the opposite side of Cui Cen!
Now that the affairs in the palace have not been resolved yet, how can we directly declare war on Cui Cen's party?
Zhao Xin stared at the palace gate with an angry look. Yu Huatian had not returned yet, and he didn't know what tricks that idiot Li Cunxiao had played out!
"Mu Zhi, do you have any good ideas for this matter?"
Liu Muzhi had never met Li Cunxiao, but he knew of his reputation.
The fact that he accidentally killed Chao Huang also proved that he was brave and strong, and the name of General Flying Tiger was well-deserved.
Liu Muzhi stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. General Li is impulsive and straightforward. Although he has caused trouble, his crime is not monstrous.
Even though this has caused Prime Minister Cui to be surprised, suspicious and angry, I feel that he will not do anything extreme. After all, he is just a military general. If he dies, we can just support someone else.
At present, the kings are rebelling and Prime Minister Cui is busy taking care of himself, so how can he have the mind to avenge and seek justice for a Guanglu Xun?
I feel that it would be a good idea to inform the Grand Commandant of this matter together with the matter of the in-laws. I am sure that the Grand Commandant will be happy to hear about such things.
If General Li can kowtow before the Grand Marshal and accept him as his teacher, I am 70% sure that I can allow General Li to take the position of Guanglu Xun."
Zhao Xin looked at Liu Muzhi in surprise, and was even more shocked when he saw that his eyes were calm and composed, as if he was sitting as steady as a mountain.
Oh shit!
Is the gap between me and the counselor of Machiavelli 97 so huge?
He's still worried about whether Cui Cen will retaliate, but he's already thinking of making Li Cunxiao the Guanglu Xun?!
"Can Mu Zhi teach me?"
Zhao Xin turned around and sat down, looking at Liu Muzhi and asking for advice sincerely and humbly.
"I don't have the ability to plan and strategize, nor do I dare to boast!
I have the confidence to persuade the Grand Marshal and form a marriage alliance with Your Majesty. As for whether I can take advantage of the situation and help Your Majesty take charge of the Imperial Guards, I will only know if it is possible after meeting the Grand Marshal!
I implore Your Majesty to order me to go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion on Your Majesty's behalf and show Your Majesty's grace."
“It’s absolutely correct!”
Zhao Xin responded with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huatian brought Li Cunxiao into the hall.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xin glanced at the two people who were kneeling side by side to pay their respects, and signaled Yu Huatian to stand up without any formalities.
Then, he stared at Li Cunxiao, snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Li Cunxiao, do you know your crime?"
On the way here, Li Cunxiao had been reminded by Yu Huatian that Emperor Chao Huang had been killed, and he was very angry.
Listening to the emperor's cold tone at this moment, even though Li Cunxiao was a little more insensitive, he could still feel the hidden anger in those words.
He felt somewhat unwilling in his heart that Chao Huang, that idiot, dared to claim to be the most powerful general in Kyoto, but he couldn't even last two rounds against him.
The most infuriating thing is that the guy dared to speak rudely to the emperor and did not take him seriously.
Such traitors deserve to die!
Although Li Cunxiao did not think he was wrong, the emperor was angry, so he had to admit his mistake.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not intentionally kill that Chao fellow... He was the one who boasted that he was a disciple of the Spear Saint Ye Bushe, the most powerful general in Kyoto, with superb martial arts skills and no one to match him.
