Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 63: Who dares to draw swords against me?
Many martial arts officials surrounded the two men from front and back.

Walking in front of everyone was Cao Wei, who was wearing a light red robe. He had a stern look on his face and a hint of regret in his voice.

"Why do you think the Fourth Prince would make such a mistake?"

When he said this, Cao Wei gritted his teeth gently. Sometimes one may say something but not necessarily mean it in his heart.

Chu Shizhao presented this congratulatory message, in which he clearly explained what he was thinking.

But the person who read the congratulatory message was Cao Wei.

At that time, Cao Wei was sweating profusely, and almost half of his robe was covered with sweat. He didn't dare to imagine what Emperor Yongjin was thinking in his heart, and he didn't dare to guess it at all.

So he really hated Chu Shizhao.

On the other side, Guo Qian, the commander of the left division of the Wude Division, who was accompanying the emperor, still had not figured out what had happened, but Emperor Yongjin's intention was to order him to send the Wude Division's officers to the Prince of Jin's Mansion and bring Chu Shizhao to the palace.

A few days ago, Guo Qian symbolically lent Chu Shizhao some silver, and in the blink of an eye, this incident happened. He was also muttering in his heart, trying to figure out the reason.

When he ordered the soldiers of the Wude Division to push open the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

The mansion was empty, most likely because everyone had been dismissed by the King of Jin. Chu Shizhao was sitting alone in the courtyard, with a coffin already placed right behind him.

Cao Wei's expression changed quietly.

He has been serving the emperor in the palace for many years. He is also a person who influences the political situation in the court. He has learned a lot from his surroundings and knows a lot of secrets.

Chu Shizhao's congratulatory message was upright, righteous, and meaningful, with arguments and examples provided before and after. He showed a deep understanding of the current situation and cognition of the court.

Therefore, Cao Wei did not think from the beginning that this congratulatory letter was written by Chu Shizhao himself, and there must be someone else who wrote it.

There are many purposes that this kind of thing wants to achieve.

However, seeing this coffin here made Cao Wei's heart sink.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has reviewed your congratulatory letter. Please come with me." There was more respect in Cao Wei's words.

This is completely different from his previous attitude of calling him the Fourth Prince.

Chu Shizhao had met this eunuch Cao several times in simulation games. He was a fortunate minister who had accompanied Emperor Yongjin for more than 20 years.

After the death of Emperor Yongjin, Cao Wei's whereabouts were mostly unknown, and on several occasions he was brought out by the ministers to be held accountable. In a word, they all prospered and suffered together.

"Please, eunuch, carry the coffin behind me into the palace." Chu Shizhao patted the coffin behind him and said.

"Your Highness, this is against the rules." Cao Wei flatly refused.

"What's against the rules here?" Chu Shizhao asked.

"That is the emperor's residence, you cannot carry the coffin in." Cao Wei added, "If you attract evil spirits, it will be bad."

"Taiji Palace is where our ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have lived for generations. We have no reason to be afraid with the protection of our ancestors." Chu Shizhao looked directly at Cao Wei and said.

"Your Majesty will be furious." Cao Wei said with a cold face.

"If I don't go, my father will also be furious." Chu Shizhao continued, "And it was my father who asked you to invite me to the palace."

"That's your job."

"But how I want to enter the palace is my own idea."

"This is the order of the Emperor. You are disobeying it." Cao Wei was silent for a moment. Obviously, he didn't want to continue to argue with Chu Shizhao about such right and wrong, so he could only bring out the imperial edict.

"If I disobey the order, you will not be able to do your job well and things will become ugly. Do you think father will only hold me accountable?" Chu Shizhao suddenly smiled.

Only then did Cao Wei realize a problem.

A man carrying a coffin, a man dismissing the servants in the palace, a man who was not afraid of death, how could he be afraid of an imperial edict now?

Cao Wei's face darkened.

This Chu Shizhao is really here to cause trouble for him.

"Eunuch Cao, I asked you to carry the coffin in. If my father is guilty, you can just put the blame on me."

"But now, if you can't invite me into the palace, then no matter what, you will have to bear the blame for not doing your job well."

Cao Wei winked at Guo Qian.

Guo Qian remained silent at this moment. He knew that Cao Wei wanted to use force directly, but why should he, Guo Qian, do things for Cao Wei?

Cao Wei looked at the other soldiers of the Wude Division and said, "Here is the imperial decree. Soldiers, please invite His Royal Highness Prince Jin to the palace as soon as possible."

Chu Shizhao stared forward. "I am from the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a descendant of Emperor Gaozu."

"Let's see who dares to draw swords against me." Chu Shizhao immediately drew the sword from his waist and spoke calmly with unquestionable majesty.

When this cold light suddenly appeared and everyone spoke and acted, no one dared to move.

At this time, Guo Qian said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace. I don't know why, but it is unreasonable to carry the coffin into the palace. I ordered the soldiers to place the coffin outside the palace at the Dongzhou Gate, which is feasible."

Chu Shizhao put his sword back into the scabbard.

"Please..." Guo Qian immediately stretched out his hand and bowed, then gestured to the others, "Send it to Dongzhou Gate."

Chu Shizhao walked into the crowd of Wudesi soldiers. He was strolling leisurely and was extremely elegant.

At the same time, in front of the Dongzhou Gate, the main gate to the imperial city, Huan Sheng was holding a silver seal and making a secret letter, deciding to try to "enter the palace to see the emperor."

The silver-sealed secret memorial was a written secret memorial that allowed "close" ministers to make suggestions to the emperor in private.

The Huan family was a powerful family in Liangzhou, and Huan Jie was the governor of Liangzhou. Huan Sheng had this silver seal in his hand, but according to the rules of Emperor Yongjin, such a silver seal could only be used once a year by an official of his level.

Huan Sheng now wants to use this memorial and the memories in his mind to make suggestions on some issues in the court. At the same time, he wants to see if there is a chance for him to enter the palace to meet the emperor and propose marriage for his sister.

However, Huan Sheng wants to see His Majesty. Whether His Majesty is willing to see him is a big question.

At this moment.

The armored soldiers of the Wude Division were escorting a man towards the Dongzhou Gate. He was a tall and dashing man, with his right hand hanging on his sword, and he walked towards them like a noble king.

Among the crowd, he seemed to notice Huan Sheng in front of the Dongzhou Gate.

His eyes gently fell on Huan Sheng.

"Prince of Jin. Prince of Jin?" Huan Sheng's gaze also rested on the other person, but his eyes were soon attracted by a coffin that followed closely behind.

Soon, Chu Shizhao walked into the palace, and Chu Shizhao withdrew his gaze from Huan Sheng.

Huan Sheng, who was standing in front of the Dongzhou Gate, immediately asked the soldiers, "What happened? Why are they carrying the coffin here? This is a symbol of death for admonition."

Cao Wei took a look at Huan Sheng and found that he actually knew this person. Huan Sheng had given him a gift before.

"His Highness the Fourth Prince has presented an inappropriate congratulatory letter to His Majesty." Cao Wei sneered, "A mere child, recklessly discussing the affairs of the court, is trying to imitate the ancient sages and die in remonstrance, which is the way to his own death."

Huan Sheng's face turned angry when he heard this.

He thought of what Chu Shizhao had done in his memory.

When he saw the things that this villain had achieved, he couldn't help but feel angry.

What can you, a childless person who only knows the pros and cons, understand?
You are the one who is truly making irresponsible remarks about the imperial court!

Huan Sheng now realized that something unexpected was happening before his eyes, and it was extremely related to the life and death of King Jin.

"I want to see the emperor—" Huan Sheng bowed and said to Cao Wei: "Eunuch Cao."

"You want to see the emperor now?" Cao Wei said incredulously, "His Majesty is very angry now. If you want to see him, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will vent his anger on you?"

"If there's a chance, I can help you mention it to His Majesty, but whether His Majesty is willing to see you is another matter."

Cao Wei agreed readily, but in fact it was just an agreement. Under the current circumstances, who would dare to say such words and risk the emperor's wrath?

The ways of the world are just mentioned casually.

As Huan Sheng watched Cao Wei's figure gradually walking away, he thought of Chu Shizhao who had just walked into the palace with his head held high.

The look that originally showed disdain for the eunuch changed the moment he thought of Chu Shizhao.

I don’t know if it’s the feeling brought about by the memories deep in my mind, or if it’s for some other reason.

Now it's just the first meeting.

Huan Sheng was greatly impressed by the noble demeanor, and believed that the King of Jin was indeed an extraordinary person.

However, the incident happened suddenly.

Huan Sheng didn't know what was going on either.

But, Chu Shizhao is his brother-in-law after all.

He would certainly try to rescue them, but for him, the most important thing now is to figure out what happened.
