Chapter 83 Chu Dingguo

Sure enough, Li Baoquan brought Chu Dingguo here.

His situation is much better than Ye Qinghuai imagined.

Except for the bandages on the right arm and leg, there was nothing serious about it.

Li Baoquan led him to the door and left.Only Ye Qinghuai and Chu Dingguo were left in the Qinxian Palace.

Chu Dingguo didn't seem to be surprised by the emperor's secret summons.

He half knelt down and said, "The final general will see His Majesty."

"Get up." Ye Qinghuai said to him kindly, "You are injured, don't stand up, sit down."

Chu Dingguo stood up, saluted, and then sat down on the wooden chair beside him.

"General Chu, I heard from Li Baoquan that you have been working in Shengjing for more than ten years from the Gyeonggi Guard to the Forbidden Army, but I haven't heard that you have any family members. Are you out of town?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the last general is from Zhongzhou. His ancestors made a living as a dart guard. I am the only one in my family who joins the army. My uncles and brothers still travel around the rivers and lakes, so there are not many contacts."

"General Chu is over 40 this year, right? Didn't he marry a wife and have children?"

"I once had a wife who got sick and died. She had no children, only two daughters, both of whom were married."

"Haven't you thought about the sequel?"

Chu Dingguo lowered his head in embarrassment, and said: "The general has no property, and he is already old, so it's not good to delay other girls."

Ye Qinghuai suppressed her smile, paused for a moment, and said seriously: "General Chu won the head of the martial arts school, and he became famous as a young man. Now that he is over the years, he is still relegated to the post of a school lieutenant. Don't you feel unwilling?"

Chu Dingguo was startled when he heard that, and immediately got up and half-kneeled down in front of Ye Qinghuai, and said loudly: "The final general is willing to do his best for His Majesty!"

Ye Qinghuai smiled lightly and said, "I haven't said I want to use you yet."

Chu Dingguo was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, neither kneeling nor not getting up.

"I don't know one thing." Ye Qinghuai looked at him and asked, "You have been in the Youya Guard for five years, and you have never made a mistake. Why did you suddenly rebel in Donglinmen yesterday?"

Chu Dingguo's expression darkened, and he said, "The general thinks they are wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The Forbidden Army should be His Majesty's Forbidden Army. No matter what His Majesty wants to do, the Forbidden Army should be the sword in His Majesty's hands. They said that His Majesty was bewitched by traitors, but the general didn't feel it." At this point, he raised his head and looked directly at Ye Qinghuai said, "No one in this world can seduce an emperor who is willing to risk his life. Your Majesty knows exactly what he wants."

His words are straightforward, although not respectful, but Ye Qinghuai is very useful.

She raised the corner of her mouth and asked with a smile: "What do you think I want?"

"His Majesty wants to be the master of the people."

Ye Qinghuai laughed out loud, she suddenly felt that Chu Dingguo was interesting.So he asked him again: "Then what can you do for me?"

"The last general is willing to be the sword in His Majesty's hand."

"What if the knife in my hand wants to cut at your former comrade-in-arms?"

Chu Dingguo paused, and replied in a deep voice: "The final general believes in His Majesty's decision."

Ye Qinghuai suppressed the smile on her face, leaned on the soft cushion on the back of the chair, and looked down at Chu Dingguo who was kneeling on the ground with a bottomless expression.

After a long time, she said calmly and slowly: "I want to make you General Youyawei Wuwei of the Forbidden Army, and order you to rectify the various departments of Youyawei. No matter how many achievements you have made, you can be dismissed and questioned. You can't make mistakes, but you can't kill them in vain."

Chu Dingguo was surprised when he heard the emperor's words.

"If you do well, I will promote you to be the commander of the imperial army. If you do not do well, I will kill you." Ye Qinghuai paused, then smiled suddenly, and said, "You can only do it well, and you can't do it well." It has to be done."

Hearing Ye Qinghuai's words, Chu Dingguo's eyes lit up, he folded his fists and bowed his head, and said, "I swear on my life that I will never let His Majesty down!"

Ye Qinghuai looked at him with complicated expressions, doubts, worries, and intolerance, but more of a desperate determination.

"Okay, get up. Tell me what you know about You Yawei."

Chu Dingguo raised his head and stood up, and what he saw was the emperor who was serious and gentle again.
-
The two chatted until noon.

Although Chu Dingguo is only a sixth-rank school lieutenant, he still knows a lot about the personnel and organization of Youyaweizhong. Youyawei are mostly descendants of the aristocratic clan in Beijing. If you don't know the stakes, you will easily offend others. .

He has been in the Youya Guard for so many years, and he is still the school captain guarding the gate, so he is naturally familiar with the relationship.

"Your Majesty's Du Zhengen should be from the Du family in Shengjing, and his uncle is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Du Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

"According to the regulations, if the imperial guard commits a crime, it should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal." Chu Dingguo said again.

In other words, if Chu Dingguo wanted to punish Du Zhengen for killing Concubine Lan, he had to hand over the relevant evidence to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which would then decide the case.

"How is the relationship between Du Zhengen and his uncle?"

"This... the last general is not clear."

Seeing Ye Qinghuai frowning and thinking, Chu Dingguo said again: "The last general can also take him down directly, and secretly executed him in the imperial army."

Chu Dingguo had witnessed the emperor's affection for Concubine Lan with his own eyes, and knew that the Emperor had a deep affection for her. Now that the news that Concubine Lan was lynched to death by Du Zhengen spread throughout the palace, Chu Dingguo thought that the emperor must hate her to the core Du Zhengen, no matter what, he must be executed.

Therefore, he made such a proposal, thinking that he could share the emperor's worries.

Ye Qinghuai raised his eyes slowly, looked at him coldly and asked, "Kill Du Zhengen quietly, and then what? Have you thought about what will happen to you?"

Chu Dingguo was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Qinghuai to ask him this question.

Ye Qinghuai continued: "You will be arrested by the Ministry of Punishment on the charge of abusing your power for personal gain. At that time, Du Jing will try his best to reassure you and give you the death penalty."

Chu Dingguo said with a look of emotion: "If you can die for your majesty, the end will be yours!"

There was a gleam in his eyes, and there was no trace of fear.

Ye Qinghuai first looked at him for a while with a complicated expression, as if judging whether there was any drama in his words and deeds.Seeing his frank expression, it should come from the bottom of his heart, Ye Qinghuai felt relieved.

Then, she frowned fiercely, and said angrily: "Why did I promote you to be the general of the military guard? Is it to take your life? How can you live up to me when you play with your own head?" Entrust!"

Chu Dingguo never expected that the emperor would be furious because of this, he quickly knelt down and dared not speak.

Ye Qinghuai got up, walked to him and helped him up, and said earnestly: "Dingguo, remember, you are not an insignificant captain now, you are the general of the Imperial Army. I don't want your life, What I want is for you to save your own life and do good errands for me. The imperial guards are the guards of the imperial city, and they hold my wealth and life in their hands. We must ensure that each of them has my heart in mind."
