"What are the rumors about the two of you? You must know it yourself?" Emperor Ling frowned, and turned his gaze to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

"Young Majesty, please calm down. Someone is slandering me and others. I am always by your Majesty's side. If there is anything, Majesty has already known about it. Please also ask Majesty to look into it."

The two hurriedly knelt down. Today they were looking for an opportunity to frame Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, so they secretly put in some memorials of the two participants, but the strange thing is that Emperor Ling didn't seem to agree after reading it. There was no reaction, and now to their surprise, the always taciturn Prince Liu Bian actually wanted to scare them to the Holy One.

"Since you don't say it, then prince, please tell me, what rumors are there outside?" Lingdi glanced at the two, and then asked Prince Liu Bian again.

"There is a lot of rumors in Luoyang City, saying that Lord Zhang, Lord Zhao and several other senior servants often extort property from the officials. Many officials are afraid, so they have to donate their property to the senior servants. It is said that Not long ago, several adults extorted property from General Huangfu and General Zhu, saying that they seized a lot of property during the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban, and asked them to take some out and distribute it to several adults. However, General Huangfu and General Zhu are straight-tempered, Moreover, they didn't get any property from the Yellow Turban, so they couldn't take it out and were unwilling to surrender to the adults. Erchen was a little strange when he heard these two rumors, but he didn't know what kind of connection there was, maybe It must be because the son is young and ignorant, or maybe this is a groundless thing."

After hearing Prince Liu Bian's words, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's faces turned ashen. Of course, they could hear that Prince Liu Bian was targeting them. The words revealed many things they had done, so they were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat.

"Since they are all chats of ignorant people in the streets and alleys after dinner, there is no need to worry too much. I still know the loyalty of the two love ministers to me, and it is good to keep their own roles in the future. The prince should listen to less of this in the future. Rumors, so as not to affect your judgment on some major events of the court, the lords of the permanent attendants have followed me for a long time, and you should respect them in the future."

"Father is right, my son understands."

After returning to the East Palace that day, Liu Bian told Xun Yu and Chen Gong what happened today, and asked them to talk about the impact of this incident. They must be prepared in advance, because Liu Bian has already Clearly offended ten permanent attendants.

"Your Highness is indeed a little reckless today. Before we have no strength to fight against the ten permanent servants, we should not tear ourselves apart. Otherwise, if the ten permanent servants attack our East Palace, I am afraid it will not be easy for us to deal with it." Xun Yu pointed out bluntly. out.

"Yes, it is not good for our East Palace to confront the ten permanent servants now. In the future, our East Palace should keep a low profile. Don't let the ten permanent servants focus on our East Palace. Let them talk to the court first. The ministers compete with each other."

"You two are right, but there is no need to worry that the Ten Permanent Attendants will be unfavorable to our East Palace. After all, the biggest threat to them is not our East Palace, but General He Jin. Don't forget this good uncle, my king. He is not a fuel-efficient lamp. But in the future, our East Palace should be more careful and low-key, and some things should be carried out in secret, and we should not participate in the affairs of those ministers inside and outside the court. Today, the emperor seems to have some warnings to me .”

"However, the Holy Majesty seems to have some ideas about the matter of the ten permanent servants and the two generals, so he didn't pursue it further. It was also a warning to the ten permanent servants, telling them not to do such things again. It's just us What is worrying is that the faction of the ten permanent servants is all over the imperial court. Ting Wei Cui Lie bought this position by relying on the ten permanent servants. I am afraid that this matter will still be handled as an iron case."

"This matter has to be guarded against. Send people to the two generals' mansions to remind them later, and see how the things I asked them to do are going well? At the same time, let them send people to investigate. Their former subordinates are now Who are those who are in the capital, it is also good to observe and observe the movements of these people."

Now Liu Bian had to wait slowly for things to happen. He didn't know what other tricks the ten servants would play. He sent the green starling to inquire a few times, but he didn't find any movement from them. He knew that they must be more careful.

When he had nothing to do, he practiced hard in the Eastern Palace, and at the same time took time to personally supervise the training of the Eastern Palace Guards. For the Eastern Palace Guards, Liu Bian wanted to build them into an iron army, so during the training process he adopted Many modern military concepts and training methods are different from the training methods at that time. At the beginning, these guards were not quite used to it, but now they have all accepted it, and their combat effectiveness has improved very quickly. I believe it is with the veterans of the Habayashi Army. In comparison, these Eastern Palace guards who have only been trained for a month or two are not weaker than them.

A few days later, someone from Hussar General Zhu Jun's residence suddenly came to report that General Zhu had been asked by Ting Wei to question him. Liu Bian was surprised and asked quickly:

"What is the charge?"

"The crime is that when General Zhu fought Zhang Bao, the younger brother of the yellow scarf bandit Zhangjiao, because of a misjudgment in his early years, he fell into Zhang Bao's sorcery, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the army, killing and injuring thousands of soldiers. However, it didn't take long for General Zhu to Integrating the army defeated Zhang Bao, and finally cut off Zhang Bao's head, so the battle report did not explain the defeat of the previous battle. But Ting Wei seized this matter, and they don't know how they knew this It was a defeat once, but it must have been revealed by a general who participated in that battle at that time, so the Ting Wei has already obtained the imperial order to escort General Zhu to the Ting Wei Yamen for questioning."

Liu Bian recalled the history carefully, and there was indeed such a passage recorded in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it seemed that Liu Bei and the other three were also obeying Zhu Jun's orders at that time, and they defeated Zhang Bao's army together with him.

They hadn't thought of this before, that the ten permanent servants would seize the loopholes in their battle reports to attack, and this loophole is big or small, no one will pursue it, it's nothing, but once someone If you hold on to it, it will also affect the Holy Majesty's view of Zhu Jun.

"The king knows about this matter. After you go back, guard Zhu's mansion. Don't be in a hurry. I will go to the Tingwei Yamen to find out about this case. Even if General Zhu has made such a mistake, he is not guilty of death. He pleaded for him before the Holy One."
