Patrol Captain

"By order of Emperor Daqian, Chen Yuan, the ninth mountain general of Jiannan Road, enter the palace!"

"By order of Emperor Daqian, Chen Yuan, the ninth general of Jiannan Road, enter the palace."

"."

The sound penetrated the nine palace gates, echoing repeatedly, and the bronze chimes rang, striking out the "Taihe Music".

Inside the Golden Palace, kings, princes, generals, civil and military officials stood on both sides, looking outside the palace with sharp eyes.

Outside the palace, golden light broke through the clouds, deep palaces and high walls, and the nine palace gates opened one after another. The copper-nailed palace doors rolled over the sunlight that looked like broken gold all over the ground, and the clanging of iron armor came from far away, like a sudden rain in an autumn night knocking on the emperor's head.

Passing through the nine-layer palace gate, on the ladder made of white marble steps, a figure climbed up step by step.

Until outside the Golden Palace, a tall figure in silver armor slowly appeared. The golden light shone on the armor, sparkling and cold, making all the officials in the court squint their eyes. Under the dazzling armor light, only a pair of light golden eyes could be seen, which was captivating.

At this moment, all the officials had roughly the same idea in their minds.

There is no false person under the great reputation!
Everyone in the court looked at the silver-armored general as he stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty, I, Chen Yuan, pay my respects to you!"

Amid the clanging sound of armor colliding, Chen Yuan performed the etiquette between a monarch and his subject towards the emperor who seemed to be sitting high in the sky.

"Be flat!"

On the dragon throne, Emperor Wu leaned forward slightly, with an inexplicable sense of oppression, and his eyes surged under the twelve-tasseled crown.
"Mr. Chen is really solemn and upright. I heard that my imperial guards were beaten to a pulp by your personal guards the other day. It seems that the general's demeanor and his troops are like Pixiu, so majestic."

Inside the main hall, Emperor Wu's voice shook the throne, and his majesty was unfathomable.

When the civil and military officials in the audience heard His Majesty bring up what happened the day before, their eyes flickered. Some of them raised their eyes with a sneer, while others looked expressionlessly at the Shu general standing in the center of the court.

See how it responds!

Every word your majesty said was full of sharp meaning. I'm afraid he was hinting at the powerful army this Shu border general has. If we don't handle it well, he will inevitably give way to criticism.

Many of the officials had already begun to get restless, waiting for the Lieutenant General of Shu to speak.

"I dare not. Your Majesty's imperial guards are the army of a benevolent monarch. They could not bear to fight against each other that day and allowed certain people with ulterior motives to take advantage of them, resulting in a farce." Chen Yuan lied without blushing or breathing hard.

At this time, in the court, facing the emperor and his ministers surrounding him, the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and Chen Yuan countered each move.

He is now one step closer to his goal. Having entered the court and met the emperor, he has some room to maneuver.

The temple is high and the world is far away. Standing on it is, in a disguised sense, a kind of victory.

"Haha, what Chen Qing said is quite fresh. I wonder if there are people with ulterior motives out there." Emperor Wu's laughter sounded quite interested.

"Your Majesty is very observant. You have ordered those people to be beaten to death and hung in front of Chengtian Gate. This is very gratifying to the people." Chen Yuan bowed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the officials changed slightly. This Lieutenant General of Shu was really tough and slapped the faces of three families in public in the court.

The three officials in front of the palace, who were involved in the incident, remained unmoved and calm, but one of their subordinates jumped out.

A censor from the Imperial Censorate stepped out and shouted in the court, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Your Majesty, I have a petition to report General Chen, who has no regard for the law and is plotting treason. Such a criminal is not worthy of being in the court."

"Last year, on the Jiazi day, the imperial court sent troops to support Shu. This thief led his troops to rebel at Tianxiong Pass, and publicly killed the imperial soldiers, resulting in thousands of casualties, causing an uproar throughout the imperial court."

"About a month ago, the three patrol angels of Qin, Shu and Liang, Lord Dongfang, were ordered to track down the thief, but he was killed in public by his soldiers. The government and the public were shocked, and they lost a great supervisor."

"This rebellious intention is obvious. If this man is not arrested, everyone in the world will follow suit. All the loyal officials in the court will be terrified. Then, even your majesty's majesty will not be able to intimidate the world!"

"I request Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree to directly detain these rebels in the prison of the Astronomical Inspection Division, and send people to Shu to conduct a thorough investigation. All those involved in this incident should be brought back to the capital for trial and severe punishment to serve as a warning to others and restore peace to Shu!" As he spoke, the Chief Censor was furious and called Chen Yuan a traitor in the hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people among the civil servants stood up, listed the charges one by one, and shouted for His Majesty to issue an order.

All of a sudden, a siege was formed in the Golden Palace, and they were determined to kill the Lieutenant General of Shu. The atmosphere was grim.

All the officials in the court knew that the most critical moment had come.

At this time, some generals also stepped out of the sequence.

Among the ranks of military generals, a general with tiger eyes, thick eyebrows and huge ears stepped out.

The appearance of this person made Xu Liang, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, who was in the ranks of civil servants and had been closed to visitors for the past two days, jump in his eyes.

"Your servant Gou Yue also has something to report!"

"I report that General Chen arbitrarily changed the imperial edict and deliberately misled the people of Shu to kill the lantern keeper in order to silence him."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"

The person who reported Chen Yuan was none other than the Deputy Inspector Gou Yue who had accompanied him earlier!

At this time, Lord Gou, with an expressionless face, recounted his experiences in Shu, adding fuel to the fire.

Inside the Golden Palace, the crimes listed by the ministers were more severe than the last.

The Censorate, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Astronomical Inspection Bureau are all making efforts.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became tense and depressing. The imperial guards on duty in the Golden Palace were ready to go, their bodies tense and their eyes like wolves.

The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes slightly under the twelve-tasseled crown and looked at the inspector who had stepped out. His face was gloomy and his voice was low and shaking.

"Chen Yuan, do you have anything to say about what the nobles said?"

Under the high platform, Chen Yuan stood upright in the center of the court, feeling the fierce murderous intent around him, with golden light in his eyes. He slowly turned around and looked at the censors who were either furious or stern.
"In reply to your majesty, why should Chen need to explain his actions to these mediocre people?"

He looked at the leading censor with a dignified gaze.

"The affairs of the world depend on your majesty and the soldiers who fought for the territory of Daqian, not on you, you who are good at talking."

"Have you ever been to Shu? Have you ever seen the overwhelming demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains? Have you ever been to a battlefield?"

"You are standing here, pointing fingers at the world, but you can't even lift a knife. In Chen's eyes, you are nothing but a bunch of shit-talkers."

"But a borer!"

Chen Yuan is crazy, crazy to no limit.

These gossips were just trying to get him killed, so why should he put up with them?

When the Chief Censor heard that Chen Yuan dared to be so arrogant in front of the emperor and insulted them, calling him a parasite, he was so angry that his hair stood on end and he was about to rush forward.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to fight this traitor in a duel!"

"I want to challenge him!"

In order to maintain the dignity of the censor, he shouted angrily and tried to rush forward, but was quickly stopped by the people around him. (End of this chapter)
