"This is a good thing. It's a good opportunity to get rid of the evil tendencies in the court," Zhong Mingwei nodded. He continued to look at the list, and his eyes suddenly stopped at a certain place. He looked at the name in surprise, and raised his head to ask Pang Yi, "This He Chengzhi recommended by General Ningguta himself, is he the one we met in Ningguta before?"
"I was just about to report this matter," Pang Yi said hurriedly after hearing this. He put the poured tea next to Zhong Mingwei's hand and explained in a deep voice, "This He Chengzhi is indeed the assassin we met in Ningguta before. Master, you know that the group of criminals in Ningguta were not all moved to Ningguta later, right? So He Chengzhi came to Ningguta. He first did hard labor in the Ningguta camp with a group of prisoners. Later, he was valued by the Ningguta general because of his ability. However, due to his status as a criminal, he was naturally not allowed to be promoted. However, the Ningguta general was very appreciative of talent, so he kept him by his side as a household slave. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne and the world was pardoned, He Chengzhi became innocent. The Ningguta general was very happy and promoted him to be a personal guard. Later, he received the order from the emperor to let officials from all over the country recommend military generals. The Ningguta general recommended this man to the capital. I heard that the Ningguta general was reluctant to let him go."
"It's natural for General Ningguta to be reluctant to let go. I like such a man of both civil and military talents." Zhong Mingwei nodded and took a sip of tea from the teacup.
"Your Majesty, you... you don't hate him for what he did that day?" Pang Yi was very surprised. He himself had very complicated feelings towards He Chengzhi. On the one hand, he cherished his talent. He felt that He Chengzhi, such a talented man in both civil and military affairs, would waste his whole life because of his father's involvement. Pang Yi really couldn't help but feel sorry for him. However, even though He Chengzhi had amazing talent, he had also attacked Zhong Mingwei. Naturally, he was wary and vigilant of He Chengzhi. Originally, he wanted to just erase He Chengzhi's name from the list. However, when Pang Yi saw those three words and thought about that desperate and hysterical young man in Ningguta in the winter, he didn't write anything. So He Chengzhi's name was preserved.
"Why do you hate him?" Zhong Mingwei glanced at Pang Yi and said while pursing his lips, "I like a man of blood who will take revenge. What's more, he is not someone who will not listen to others and will let hatred blind his eyes. Looking at the attitude of General Ningguta towards him, I know that he is a positive and motivated person who wants to make a difference. Such a good material is really hard to keep. What we lack most right now is a general like him."
"You are really magnanimous and tolerant," Pang Yi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with a smile, "I am really ashamed of myself."
"Are you really ashamed of yourself?" Zhong Mingwei said as he put down his teacup and looked at Pang Yi. "If you were a petty and intolerant person, how could I see He Chengzhi's name on the list?"
Pang Yi was startled, then he smiled awkwardly: "It's true that nothing can be hidden from my eyes."
"You kid," Zhong Mingwei smiled and patted Pang Yi on the shoulder. He suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Pang Yi, "Last time I asked you to check the wife's background, how did you do?"
"My Lord, I am still investigating," Pang Yi said in a serious tone, "Because the Madam has been in the palace for too long, and the palace maid records are updated every five years, the records from previous years are not easy to find. In addition, it rained heavily for a whole month in July last year, and the warehouse where the rough palace maid records were stored was flooded by the heavy rain. Almost all the records were destroyed in the water," Pang Yi said. At this point, seeing Zhong Mingwei's silence, Pang Yi said hurriedly, "But I have sorted out most of the records. In less than half a month, I will be able to find out the Madam's life experience. Please rest assured, my Lord."
