Chapter 346 Spider Web

Fu'an Palace is located in the northwest of Miyagi, and beyond that is the area of ​​the harem. This is also the deepest place that foreign ministers can go.

Because there is a warm spring underground in Fu'an Palace, there is warm soup for soaking all year round. It is also the emperor's favorite place to stay in winter.

However, Pang Ban has been in front of the emperor for nearly fifty years, and the number of times he was directly recruited to Fu'an Palace is more than one hand. Generally speaking, emperors prefer to discuss matters in Qinzheng Palace rather than Fu'an Palace.

All the way without a word, the eunuch led Pang Ban to the gate of Fu'an Palace and stood still. After saluting, he went in to make an announcement, leaving Pang Ban standing outside.

Looking up, you can see water vapor rising behind the tall palace, which is the warm soup inside.

"My lord, Your Majesty welcomes you."

"Thank you for leading the way."

Pang Ban walked with his head down the whole time, especially after entering the Fu'an Palace, he didn't need to look ahead at all, and just stared at his feet for a few feet. He has perception, but he will not stumble. It's all because there are sometimes court ladies coming and going in Fu'an Palace, so he needs to be careful to avoid suspicion.

Entering a warm pavilion, Pang Ban saw Yang Jian in a loose robe.

"See Your Majesty."

"Well, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did Pang Ban raise his head, his eyes swept over the emperor, and his heart tightened slightly. He found that the complexion between the other party's brows was much worse than the last time he saw it. And in perception, the fluctuation of the emperor's soul is not right, it seems to have been trembling slightly, instead of being stable in the normal situation.

"Tell me, what's the important thing for you to ask for an interview twice?"

The emperor's voice was very flat, without any emotion in it, and the voice was not high, as if he had no spirit.

"Your Majesty, it's about the army."

"Junwu?" There was a trace of doubt on the emperor's plain face, and he didn't understand what important matters the Junwu could have that Pang Ban came to report.

"It's like this. The cause was a rectification operation in Jingxi before, and a fake cultivator named Ma San was dug out. Then along this line, the Black Flag Camp under my Xuanqing Guard touched Ma San. The next home is the Nanban in the south"

Jingxi was the only thing that Pang Ban could call an "urgent matter" in front of the emperor. Originally, he hadn't planned to put it before the emperor so early, because the matter hadn't made substantial progress. But in order to determine the current physical condition of the emperor, he didn't care so much. Although it was a bit sloppy, at least he had discovered that the emperor was indeed losing his health.

When Pang Ban said that "the Ministry of War is involved in the case and has a high probability of acting as the mastermind", the emperor slammed the teacup on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

An eunuch quickly put his head in and took a look, then quickly retracted.

Pang Ban took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground silently.

"Is it just a few people or the entire military department is rotten? What's the situation with the Jingxi Army and the frontier army? Is this going against the sky?" The emperor's chest heaved and heaved, suppressing his anger and not allowing himself to growl.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is currently tightly guarded internally, and it is difficult to find out the clues. It can only be traced from the bottom to the top. From the current situation, it will not be rotten as a whole."

The emperor's expression, which was still furious just now, has returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but the corner of his mouth sneered: "Isn't it? Haha, very good, very good! These people pretend to be pitiful every day, saying that they are filled with righteous indignation by being suppressed by civil officials. Now it seems that it is a crooked attack. I am afraid that the position of supervising the army is set up just right!

Check it out for me! No matter who is found, they are not allowed to accept it, and they must be investigated to the end! "

How many people died in the Great War forty years ago? How much money did you spend on food? How many sleepless nights did you stay up? The memory of the emperor was still fresh in his heart, and he would never allow the barbarians in the south to rise again, and still in this way.

"I understand. At present, in order not to startle the snake, we are adopting a bottom-up investigation method. The most powerful front-line Black Flag Battalion dispatched by the Yamen of Jingxi Town Fushi is in charge. At present, we have a starting point, and I believe it will be spread in the future." to progress."

"Leave it to Jingxi Governor's Yamen to handle it? Can't your commander's Yamen do it?" The emperor obviously trusted Pang Ban's staff more than the Zhenfu's Yamen.

However, Pang Ban also explained: "From the very beginning, the Black Flag Battalion of Fengri City in Jingxi was investigating this case, and they are naturally the most familiar with it. Moreover, the person in charge of this case is a genius, surnamed Shen, surnamed Hao, very capable He was also responsible for the case involving the smuggling of arms by the Jingbei Army, the case of Jianhuang Tomb, and the case of concealing the plague."

The emperor has a lot of things to do throughout the year, and the big and important things are like a mountain. Generally, it is difficult for him to remember something all the time, but he still has an impression in his heart. Now when Pang Ban mentioned it, he said, "I have some impressions. Since you are so optimistic about this person, then you can do it according to your own method and come up with the results as soon as possible."

"Wei Chen understands."

"That's it, back off."

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

The emperor took a deep breath, seemed a little impatient, and waved his hand to signal Pang Ban to speak quickly.

"Your Majesty, the princes have been acting recently, and there are many things that are not in compliance with the rules. They even drove out of town and threatened to visit them."

"Okay. Back off."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Although the last words were interrupted after only one beginning, Pang Ban's goal had been achieved. He was sure that the emperor's body was not right now, especially in the back, the emperor would appear anxious, and the fluctuation of soul was even more obvious.

And in the end, the emperor directly avoided talking about the matter involving the prince, showing obvious signs of connivance.

With these discoveries, Pang Ban quickly left the palace with a heavy heart.

"cough cough cough"

The severe cough made the emperor hunched over, and a lump of blood the size of a nail shell was coughed out of his mouth on the ground.

"Medicine! Cough cough cough"

"Your Majesty, Doctor Chen said that you can only take one bowl of this medicine a day, you can't"

"Half a bowl! Kekeke, hurry up, coughkeke."

The eunuch was so terrified that he could only pour half a bowl of soup and medicine from a medicine pot and send it to the emperor.

After drinking the soup, the emperor's face turned pale, but the violent cough stopped quickly.

"Bring me back to the warm soup."

"yes."

The emperor was so weak that several eunuchs carried the limp to the warm soup behind. After taking off the loose outer robe, the emperor sat naked in the warm soup and breathed a sigh of relief. The eyes of several eunuchs who have served the emperor all the year round always flashed unbearable when they waited for Undress.

In the warm soup, the emperor's thin body was covered with a black-red web like a spider's web from the back to the chest, which penetrated into the flesh and became flesh and blood, and seemed to tremble with the emperor's breathing.

Only when soaked in warm soup, these nets will be dull and make the emperor more comfortable.

"Pang Ban is a smart person after all, he should have discovered it."

In the smog of warm soup, the emperor smiled and looked at the gradually darkening sky, as if talking to himself.
