Chapter 1064 Intentional
After being suspended for more than ten days, the morning court finally started again today.
The court officials gathered neatly in the meeting hall.
When they saw the emperor walking out slowly, they all knelt down to greet him.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty! Long live the emperor!"
After Luo Qinghan sat firmly, he said calmly, "Stand up."
Everyone stood up.
The five cabinet ministers standing at the front of the team couldn't help but look up quietly and carefully examine the emperor.
They found that the emperor looked no different from before.
If we have to say what is different, it is probably that the emperor's expression today is particularly cold.
Especially his gaze, which was frighteningly cold.
As long as he looks at someone, that person will feel a chill in his heart.
The court officials stared at the emperor's cold gaze and reported their work tremblingly.
The most important thing right now is to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and catch all the rebels in one fell swoop!
Faced with the rebels who threatened their own interests, the civil and military officials showed unprecedented unity. They actively put forward ideas and tried every possible way to get rid of the rebels.
Luo Qinghan listened quietly the whole time, occasionally nodding to show his agreement.
Soon, a complete set of plans to quell the rebellion was put forward.
The morning court session also came to an end.
As soon as the emperor left, all the court officials breathed a sigh of relief.
They had been with this young and handsome emperor for quite some time and had a relatively good understanding of him, although he usually always had a stern and cold look on his face.
But today's emperor is particularly scary, as if there is an active volcano hidden under the iceberg, and a huge eruption may occur at any time!
Someone secretly murmured: "Who has offended the emperor today?"
A colleague next to him whispered, "Maybe it's because there are too many things bothering us. The 30,000 troops we sent to Nanyue for support haven't come back yet, the war in the Thousand Islands isn't over yet, and now there's a rebellion. It's one thing after another, anyone would be annoyed."
…
In the imperial study, Luo Qinghan asked someone to call Zhao Xian over.
"Haven't you found out where the concubine is yet?"
Zhao Xian lowered his head and answered respectfully, "I have already ordered people to search the entire palace, but no trace of the Imperial Concubine was found."
Luo Qinghan gently stroked the brocade bag hanging around his waist, which contained the substitute talisman that Xixi gave him.
Fortunately, she had the substitute talisman, so even if she was far away, she would not lose her life.
Luo Qinghan asked in a deep voice: "What about outside the palace? Is there any news?"
Zhao Xian: "All the city gates have been sealed, and the patrol officers and Jingzhao Prefecture are searching every household, but no news has been received yet."
No news means no clues.
Luo Qinghan took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
In the end, it still couldn't be suppressed.
He slammed the desk with his palm!
There was a clicking sound.
A hole was punched into the thick, smooth tabletop.
The pens, ink, paper and inkstone originally placed on the table were shaken into a mess, and many memorials fell to the ground.
Everyone in the imperial study was startled and knelt down in panic.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
In their impression, the emperor has always been a person who never shows his emotions.
They had never seen the emperor so angry.
Luo Qinghan didn't even look at the mess in front of him, emotions surging violently in his dark eyes.
Xiao Xixi was captured by Yu Jiu.
Yu Jiu is from Tianmen, and the leader of Tianmen may have already known that Xiao Xixi possesses the Heavenly Eye.
If Xiao Xixi fell into the hands of the leader of Tianmen, she would definitely not have a good ending.
At the beginning, the leader of Tianmen was so jealous of his Ziwei destiny that he wanted to take it away from him at all costs.
Naturally, the current leader of Tianmen could gouge out Xiao Xixi's eyes just because he covets her Heavenly Eyes!
Whenever Luo Qinghan thought of that scene, he couldn't remain calm.
He would rather the leader of Tianmen use Xiao Xixi as a hostage to threaten him and force him to give up the throne, than he wants the leader of Tianmen to target Xiao Xixi.
"Next, check for me!
If Yu Jiu wants to leave the palace, he must go out through the palace gate.
Go and check all the palace gates one by one.
Anyone who has left the palace this morning must be arrested by me.
Check them one by one, don't let go of any clues!"
Zhao Xian cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Luo Qinghan: "And those guards who were responsible for guarding Yu Jiu, they couldn't even keep an eye on one person, all of them will be charged with dereliction of duty, and each of them will be severely beaten with 100 sticks!"
Even if the guards were all martial artists, they might not be able to withstand a hundred blows.
Even if you manage to survive, you will still be left with lifelong disability.
Luo Qinghan was really angry.
Everyone caught will be severely punished!
Zhao Xian looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this may not be their fault."
Luo Qinghan looked at him coldly: "Are you going to plead for them?"
Zhao Xian knew that the emperor was angry now, and if he stood up to plead for mercy at this time, he would definitely be angry, but he could not allow his subordinates to be punished.
He spoke word by word under great pressure.
"I am not begging for anyone, I just want to tell the truth to His Majesty.
Miss Baoqin came to see me last night. She said that the Royal Concubine wanted to test Yu Jiu and asked me to relax the control measures deliberately.
I followed the Imperial Concubine's instructions and deliberately reduced the number of guards near the torture chamber.
Therefore, the guards who were responsible for guarding Yu Jiu were not negligent in their duties; they were just following orders."
Luo Qinghan didn't expect that there was such a secret.
He said to Eunuch Chang.
"Send someone to bring Baoqin here."
He planned to let Baoqin confront Zhao Xian face to face so that he could find out whether what Zhao Xian said was true or false.
As a result, Eunuch Chang had just walked out of the imperial study when he saw Baoqin walking towards the imperial study.
The two sides met at the door of the imperial study.
Baoqin bowed and said, "Excuse me, is the emperor here? Could you please let the eunuch know for me?"
Eunuch Chang: "The Emperor is looking for you, come in with me."
Baoqin was surprised: "Why did the emperor want to find me?"
Eunuch Chang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and said something.
"It's because of Yu Jiu."
Baoqin immediately understood what was going on.
She followed Eunuch Chang into the imperial study.
After the greetings, Baoqin took the initiative to explain without waiting for the emperor to ask.
"Your Majesty, last night I was ordered by the Imperial Concubine to go and see General Zhao.
The reason why Yu Jiu was able to escape from the torture chamber so easily was actually because the Imperial Concubine did it on purpose.
The Imperial Concubine said that the imperial guards alone could not hold Yu Jiu hostage and that Yu Jiu would escape sooner or later.
Instead of being caught off guard by him, it is better to take the initiative to bring opportunities to him.
This way at least we can still take the initiative."
Luo Qinghan stared at her face, observing the changes in her expression, and asked coldly.
"Since the Imperial Concubine had already anticipated that Yu Jiu would escape, didn't she take any countermeasures?"
…
Good morning everyone!
Please give me a monthly ticket~~~
