Chapter 855
In the early Tang Dynasty, it was not said that eunuchs must announce the imperial decree of the emperor, and there was no such rule in other dynasties, but generally speaking, the emperor always liked to let the people around him announce the imperial decree, and as time went by, it became a habit. Yes, but there is absolutely no such rule!
Everyone refused to go to Yingzhou, and Wang Ping'an also refused to go, so who should go?He is highly respected. Although Shi Zhongchen is not a courtier, he is worthy of these four words. He is not only a hero in the era of the first emperor, but also a great eunuch. In terms of rank, he and Changsun Wuji are on the same shoulders. All in one, without mentioning other ranks brought about by titles and part-time jobs.

The rank brought by the title to Changsun Wuji is the first rank, but it is not in terms of position, and Shi Zhongchen does not have a title.

Ever since Shi Zhongchen told him to ask for "super poison", Wang Pingan felt that the old eunuch chief was going to cause trouble. He didn't know what it was, but the more he didn't know, the more uncontrollable and dangerous he felt.

It is true that Shi Zhongchen is dying, but just because he is dying, if something happens before he dies, he himself will not be held responsible, but others have to wipe his ass, Wang Pingan is very serious It may be the one holding the paper, of course he has to prepare in advance and put the paper into someone else's hands!
Before the change, Wang Pingan would definitely not mention Shi Zhongchen, but he found that Shi Zhongchen was vaguely using him to frame him. This intuition is very strong, and the danger signal is obvious!He can't let it go, can he just wait and see what happens?Don't worry, it's a very difficult game to wait and see what happens, not suitable for ordinary people to play!
Changsun Wuji glanced at Wang Ping'an and thought to himself: "You let Shi Zhongchen go to Yingzhou, don't let him die halfway! Well, it's fine if he dies. It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to Li Ke's affairs. In order to let Li Ke An Xin, that's why he sent his biggest confidant, but because the journey was too far, he died on the way, and Li Ke added another crime!"

Having figured this out, Changsun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal, and it is most appropriate to send the chief minister Shi Zhongchen to see Li Ke. Chief Shi watched Li Ke grow up, so he can be regarded as his own family. The general manager is highly respected, unmatched by anyone in the court, and loyal to the emperor, so it is most appropriate for him to appease Li Ke, and there will be no accidents!"

Li Ke frowned. If others didn't mention it, he couldn't remember it. As soon as it was mentioned, he thought, that's right, Shi Zhongchen is really suitable.But he said: "The loyal minister is getting old, is it suitable for him to go?"

Shi Aiguo was serving in the hall, and stood behind Li Zhi. When he heard this, he was in a hurry. Could he not be in a hurry? How could he send his elder brother on such an errand? He wanted to torment him to death!

Your Majesty, he is not qualified to speak, but if he doesn't speak at this time, once it becomes an established fact, it will be difficult to change it.He hastily whispered: "Your Majesty, the chief executive is not feeling well and cannot travel long distances!"

Li Zhi nodded and felt a little sorry, so he wanted the ministers to recommend another one.

Before he could speak, Ma Zhou stood up. Ma Zhou belonged to a gentleman, but a gentleman has always disliked eunuchs and thinks eunuchs are villains, so he has no friendship with Shi Zhongchen, on the contrary, he has more hatred!

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, for this incident, Li Ke must be brought back, but which of the ministers in the court and China is on good terms with Li Ke?" Good deal?"

The ministers immediately shook their heads, what a joke, who dares to make friends with him, even if they had a good relationship before, now they have to break the relationship and draw a clear line with him!
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Ma Zhou said, "Your Majesty, please see that all the ministers in the court are at odds with Li Ke. No matter who they send, they will make Li Ke wary, and there may be accidents. Although Chief Shi is old, But it is precisely because he is old, not a courtier, and watched Li Ke grow up, that makes Li Ke unsuspecting, so that accidents will be much smaller!"

The ministers nodded together and said that it was indeed so.Li Zhi hummed, thinking: "It is true!"

Wang Pingan quickly added another sentence, saying: "Your Majesty, this matter has been discussed until now, and only the person who will go to announce the decree is left. According to Yichen's opinion, it is better to listen to the meaning of Chief Executive Shi and ask him if he is willing to go here. A trip to serve the country?"

What he said, he could only get one answer. Apart from agreeing, Shi Zhongchen had no other choice. Could Shi Zhongchen say that he was unwilling to serve the country?So what if you're old, it's just a good time to use the remaining heat. In your lifetime, you can finally work for the court and the emperor to settle the dangerous prince. If there are biographies of eunuchs in history books, then Shi Zhongchen must be included, and it must be ranked first!

The ministers thought to themselves: "There is you! Shi Zhongchen must have tormented you, or wanted to torment you, so you tried every means to torment him first. This is called the first to attack, and the second to suffer!"

The ministers said together: "The ministers and others are seconding, Mr. Wang is very reasonable. Chief Shi Da is old, and it is too hard to go to Yingzhou to announce the decree, so even if you want to send him, you have to ask his opinion first, as a demonstration. Respect meritorious ministers!"

Shi Aiguo looked at Wang Ping'an, wondering, what's going on, Wang Ping'an has always been very submissive, but was reprimanded by my elder brother like a grandson, why did he suddenly want to torment my elder brother today?There must be a reason, could it be that my elder brother wants to fix him, so he can protect himself?But the elder brother didn't say it, and why should he repair Wang Ping'an?
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Patriotic, you go and pass the loyal minister, and say that I have something to let him do, ask him if he is willing, and bring him to the palace!"

Everyone's temper exploded, and Li Zhi agreed to let Shi Zhongchen go to the palace.

Shi Aiguo had no choice but to ask questions, but he didn't dare to ask, he had no choice but to agree, and went down the steps to pass on Shi Zhongchen.

Li Zhi leaned back, let out a long breath, and said: "This matter has been discussed all day, but it can be regarded as a clue, let's solve it quickly. Li Ke's matter is almost becoming a part of me. Heart sick!"

Changsun Wuji said: "It has long been a heart disease of the old minister!"

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't say a word, but everyone thought in their hearts: "Li Ke is not bad, if you meet those brothers of the late emperor, you will be really sick!"

Wang Pingan returned to court, thinking: "If Shi Zhongchen is sent away, the palace will be more peaceful, right? Oh, where there is Wu Meiniang, how can it be safe?"

Shi Aiguo came out of Ganlu Hall, and was about to go to find Shi Zhongchen in person, but saw two young eunuchs standing at the gate of the hall, both of them were full of anxiety, when they saw him coming out, they greeted him at the same time, and said in unison: " Director Shi, something is wrong!"

Shi Aiguo looked at the two young eunuchs, and thought: "Aren't they from the Queen's Palace? Why did they come here? Could it be that something happened to the Queen? But something happened to the Queen, why didn't you go in and report it immediately?" , why are you waiting here?"

His face sank, he was in a bad mood!Shi Zhongchen said coldly: "Why are you panicking? What's going on that makes you so careless? Look at the two of you, are there any rules?"

The two young eunuchs thought to themselves: "You have rules. After you hear the news, if you can still abide by the rules, we will screw your head off together and kick it as a ball for you!"

A little eunuch said: "Something happened in the Enlightenment Palace, it caught fire, and Director Shi was burned to death!"

Another young eunuch said: "The corpses are all burnt, it is confirmed that Director Shi is dead!"

Shi Aiguo was stunned for a moment, and said with tongue-tied words: "What, what? Say it again!" The news came so suddenly and without warning, he couldn't accept it for a while.

The little eunuch who spoke first said: "The empress asked the younger ones to tell Director Shi that the chief executive was indeed burned to death, and his body is parked in the Hall of Enlightenment. Mr. Mi has gone, so I don't know what's going on now?"

The little eunuch who spoke last said: "Yeah, the fire caught fire for some reason, and only Director Shi was burned. The empress is not injured, but she is not feeling well. I want the Prime Minister to show her!"

Shi Aiguo's whole body was stiff, and there was a buzzing in his head, his eyes rolled white, and he fell down straight!

The two young eunuchs were reprimanded by him just now, and they felt aggrieved. When they saw him fall, they were a little slow when they were helping him, and shouted: "Director Shi, what's the matter with you?" After the patriotic fall, this stretched out.

With a loud bang, Shi Aiguo fell down in a straight line, and after falling to the ground, because of the heavy fall, his body became a big shape again!

The two young eunuchs quickly screamed, and went to help them responsibly, shouting: "Director Shi, Director Shi, what's the matter with you?"

The little eunuchs standing outside the hall saw them, screamed together, and ran over, but none of them came to help, they just watched and became the crowd!The Shi family brothers are not very popular in the palace, and the young eunuch will take revenge whenever he finds an opportunity.

The yelling outside the hall was naturally heard in the hall, and the warrior on duty strode out and asked, "What's the matter, what happened? It's the court meeting now, why are you yelling so rudely!"

The two little eunuchs who reported the letter shouted together: "Director Shi has passed out!"

The warrior on duty came over and asked, "Did he faint? Why did he faint?"

The two young eunuchs said together as if they were rehearsing in advance: "Because Director Shi was burned to death!"

The warrior on duty was taken aback, and said, "What, Director Shi was burned to death? How did he get burned to death?"

"Burned to death by fire!" The young eunuchs present said together, how else could they be burned to death, only by fire, but also by water!
The samurai on duty was surprised, turned and ran back to the main hall, shouting: "Your Majesty, Director Shi passed out outside, because Director Shi was burned to death, he was burned to death!"

The monarchs and ministers in the palace were all stunned, but it was only a moment before they all came back to their senses.Changsun Wuji said loudly: "Is there a fire in the palace? Which palace is it?"

Li Zhi stood up and asked, "Is it the Guanyun Palace that caught fire? What are the deacons doing for food? Why didn't even the chief manager come out?"

The warriors on duty ran to the emperor together, wanting to protect the emperor.

The samurai on duty who reported the letter said: "I haven't had time to ask, I don't know where the fire happened!"

The leader of the warriors on duty immediately ran out of the hall and looked around, trying to see where the fire was, but he looked around, but found no fire.If the fire was so big that even Shi Zhongchen was burned to death, how big the fire was, it had to be a fire that burned the palace to pieces, otherwise Shi Zhongchen would be rescued!

Shi Aiguo had already been awakened at this time, he said: "The Hall of Enlightenment is on fire, big brother, big brother..."

Hearing this, the leader of the warriors on duty wondered, "The Hall of Enlightenment, what is that place?" The emperor was still waiting inside, but before he had time to ask, he ran in again and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's not that the palace is on fire. The Hall of Enlightenment, there is no such hall in the imperial palace!" He still didn't know about the name change of Concubine Xiao Shu's bedroom.

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard it, and said: "The Hall of Enlightenment, why is there a fire there?" But he was only startled, and thought it was okay, Wu Meiniang hadn't moved in yet, even if it caught fire, it wouldn't be able to burn her, it could just be the more secluded hall !
Changsun Wuji was also very surprised, and said, "The Hall of Enlightenment, what is that place?" He looked at Wang Ping'an.Wang Pingan quickly shook his head, he hadn't heard about the name change either.

Li Zhidao: "It was Xiao's previous palace. I renamed it the Enlightenment Hall. There was a fire there, who was burned to death? Oh, the loyal minister was burned to death...ah, how could he be burned to death!" , he finally thought of Shi Zhongchen, how could Shi Zhongchen be burned to death, he still has to go to Yingzhou to announce an edict to get Li Ke back!

Shi Aiguo was helped in by the little eunuchs, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, this old slave has to go and see, this time I have to go and see..."

"Go, go, what are you talking about!" Li Zhi waved his hands.Seeing Shi Aiguo ran out of the main hall, he said again: "Did the palace servants accidentally set fire to it when they were tidying up there?"

The little eunuch who helped Shi Aiguo in did not go out, and one of the messengers said: "If you go back to the emperor, the fire caught fire for some reason, and the palace had already been tidied up when it caught fire. It's on fire, but the Empress is fine, she just can't speak, maybe she was choked by the smoke!"

Li Zhi shouted, Wang Pingan also shouted, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted!What did Queen Wang do there?She and Shi Zhongchen started a fire, but she didn't burn a woman, but Shi Zhongchen was burned to death!This is not right, where the two of them are, there must be countless little eunuchs, how could they be burned, and even one of them was burned to death?

Wang Pingan shouted: "Your Majesty, this is a big deal, I should go and have a look!"

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, go and have a look... No, no, let's go together, the court is gone, the court is gone!" He suddenly thought that something happened to the queen, and as a husband, he had to go no matter what Look, you can't leave her alone. Anyway, a couple is a couple. Although the relationship between husband and wife has existed in name only, they are still husband and wife after all!
Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an ran out of the hall together, Li Zhi got on the chariot, and Wang Ping'an ran on the ground.Wang Pingan ran fast, and as soon as he left the hospital, he left Li Zhi far behind!
All the civil and military people in the hall were shocked, what's the matter, something happened in Yingzhou, and now something happened in the palace, the first year of the emperor's enthronement was really troubled!
